Remember to sign a pre-nup, MJ… even though your retro shoes are still selling like hotcakes, you don’t want to have to give up half of your assets… again.

why marry this broad, mike? nothing to gain and everything to lose.
He hasn’t learn his lesson.
Even in the absolute worst case scenario this guy will never ever be broke so good for him. Let the man live life the way he wants to live life. If marriage means something to him then he should be married.
+1 Thank you!
that’s not true. you don’t know his personal financial status nor do you know what stake of brand jordan he actually owns. and no, fortune magazine references don’t count. both fortune and forbes are notorious for posting flat out wrong numbers because it sells magazines and gets hits.
finally you don’t know how leveraged he is – i.e. how much he’s worth (liquid) relative to the amount of debt and bad investments he carries.
anybody can go broke – even billionaires. and jordan isn’t a billionaire – and his best earning days are behind him.
he can go broke – and part of that includes making dumb moves – like marrying a broad who likely wasn’t going anywhere anyway – a broad too young to see him in his heyday (so she’s not a fan) – not in his age range (so sexual attraction is actually unlikely) – and thus likely to be attracted to the lifestyle.
this is not the type of broad you marry if you wanna go young as an OG. you gotta go rupert murdoch and get you a wendy deng.

It’s his life but why re-marry someone who obviously adds nothing to the table. Black people always like to start over from scratch. Why not learn from the last experience?
Anon kicking some knowledge once again.
Kudos for you b.
Tell it. +1
you’re right, i don’t know his exact financial situation–but neither do you. So given whan we both know ‘we’ have to assume my guess is closer to the truth…unless you can show me evidence to the contrary.
As for the woman, who the fuck is anyone on this site to tell him who he ‘should’ marry or how he’s supposed to run his life. Do I think it’s a good choice….maybe, maybe not, the point is if this chick brings him joy that’s his fuckin right to choose who to be with–he earned that shit.
actually – my guess is far closer to the truth because IT ISN’T A GUESS. I know how much of brand jordan he owns. i also know that his ownership stake in the bobcats is HIGHLY leveraged – a loss leader he is still hoping to make back by the sponsorships he’s still trying to bring to the team and area. Even further, his ownership stake is only figureheaded by him – there’s a group of unseen investors behind him who he’s also leveraged to.
and obviously my opinion doesn’t mean shit to him – he can do as he wants with his money.
but as far as “joy” is concerned? LMAO. What are you, 12? How loyal is a hungry dog? Every woman he deals with is gonna wanna marry him and be with him forever because THEY’RE winning. All hoes will bring you “joy” by definition – that’s their JOB. So he has no true way of determining loyalty and love vs. money grubbing. Heavy lies the crown and all. which is one of umpteen reasons marriage doesn’t make sense.
Like you said, “heavy is the head that wears the crown” …..So who are u to question the decisions of a king?
i’m the guy who doesn’t think a basketball player is a king.
WOW!!! did you just say that?
“heavy lies the crown” is a metaphor – you don’t need to be a king to wrestle with difficult decisions. it merely means that what on the outside is perceived as a blessing is often a curse replete with difficult decision-making.
one of those difficult decisions is for a wealthy man – and whether he should marry. modern romantic love is a construct of madison avenue and debeer’s – so any nigga that falls for that is a fool. the historical aspect of marriage – and its most enduring – is not marriage based on “love” – but mutual strategic advantage. it’s a political institution – a power and revenue generating mechanism – not some kind of emotional thing that is sold to women in romantic comedies. it’s a CHESS MOVE. What part of this marriage for Jordan is a chess move? NONE. ZERO.
but back to you, retard. you really equate basketball players to heads of state?
LMAO. good luck crossing the street.
He was a great basketball player. But he is a dumbass nigga off the court. I bet he won’t have the bitch sign a prenup. Enjoy gettin half yo shit taken again nigga!
I loved mike the player, hate the dude…fuck a marriage, idk…I hate him because he was the loudest voice tryna rob the players of a fair share of league profits. Dude cares only about himself. He wanted all the money as a player, and now wants it as an owner too. And good luck making any money in Charlotte that team is debt waiting to happen.
And get a stylist for Christ’s sake, wack ass denim you stay in
Crazy how people who do not know this man personally, go on what the media says, is on this site giving advice on what he should or should not do. I never understand that shit..Type up a whole essays based on their OPINION of someone they never met and don’t even know. That shit CRAY.
crazy about grown ass 40 something year old men using the word “cray”.
it’s true man.
jealous you cant snag a chick like that or that you don’t have enough money to?
Nigga did you take a look at that hoes picture? Please tell me you don’t think that hoe is special. I guess it must be the “Latina lightskin effect”. And seriously if someone needs 100 mil to fuck that hoe……..wtf?! Mike was a great basketball player but no one in the league will respect his ass again. All that shit he pulled during the recent lockout trying to screw the players out of money for 10 years. Sheeeit they all wanted to stomp the shit out that bitchass nigga.
Tell you the truth B I don’t see what the big deal is. We can look at this and make all the assumptions we want but truthfully we don’t know either parties. Simple as that.
Ahhh nigga said I’m 40..Too funny B. Lmao. Tell me at what point i’m pose to get mad..Lol
no, i didn’t just say you were 40 – you creased-denim rockawear du-rag wearing ass nigga. i said you were a 40 year old using the word “CRAY”.
you should be ashamed of yourself – you’re old enough to be my father. stop it.
I’m not even close to 40 but you seem to be infatuated with me since the Game of Thrones comment. get a life dude. if you want a 40 year old dude to love you try one of those dating sites. till then jumpoff DEEZ. pervert. Stop following me on this site dude it’s not healthy.
No we don’t know this negro personally, but just like you, we stated our opinion, knowing it doesn’t mean anything to him.
Does he have some sort of charity or childrens organizations that he works with? B/c recycling sneakers n charging crazy prices 2 not give anything back would b pretty fucked up considering
It’s amazing how little men truly think of women. I hope she takes his ass for everything he’s got. ALL MEN are tricks who keep falling for the looks and the pussy! Women are loving it, dummies better wake the fuck UP! #allmenrtricks
“It’s amazing how little men truly think of women. I hope she takes his ass for everything he’s got.”
Bitches aint shit but hoes and tricks.
HAHA!!!!!!! Only a simple ass motherfucker would even respond to my comment, must be true, uh???????
Good for Mike, but I find this hilarious b/c I live in Miami/Lil’ Cuba and everyone down here knows that “white” Cubans are some of the most racist people on the planet. But Cool Mike will never know this b/c his money and fame allow him to never experience ignorant racism. I’m sure there is one or two elders in her family who aren’t to happy with Mike’s chocolate ass coming in to mess up the blood line….no matter who he is or how much money he has. Real talk….
Homey I know all about those Cubans in Miami. All I have to say is don’t ever get caught in the wrong part of town. And for damn sure be careful if you walk into one of their establishments. I walked into a barbershop once and dudes basically wanted to lynch me for asking for a shape up.
