The Time A 51-Year Old Michael Jordan Kicked Stephen Jackson's Ass During A Bobcats Practice Because Jackson Talked Shit

[Source] - “We were going through a rough patch. Michael decided to jump in and [bring Charles Oakley] on his team. Stephen Jackson, being Stephen Jackson, started talking trash. Jackson said ‘that was the past, this is now and I will bust your a**.’ Michael got furious, trash-talking and killing him and all of us. [MJ is] 50 or 51. Telling Stephen Jackson ‘how does the leather taste in your mouth’ after every shot. Then it became a 1-on-1. It did not end up well for Stephen Jackson. Michael won. It was incredible. It was good for the team, we snapped out of the losing streak we had."

I'll be honest. I can listen to these stories all day. This isn't the first time that someone made MJ take it personal. But the twist with this one? He brought Charles Oakley into practice. That's how you know time is up and it's about to be a fucking practice. I'd also love to hear the call MJ made to Oak. It's not even like the Bobcats sucked this year like Najera said. But MJ needed his guy there just to be safe. 

And of course Stephen Jackson was talking shit to Michael Jordan. That's Stephen Jackson. He was a dude who you wanted as a teammate and would not be scared to mix it up with whoever he was going against. But we're talking about MJ here. The line 'how does the leather taste in your mouth' is my new favorite shit talking line. It doesn't even make a whole lot of sense. Sure, I get it. Hitting jumpers in his face, but it's so perfect. 

We need to talk about the Bobcats for a second. That team name SUCKED. That's a high school team name or a mid-major in college hoops. I hate that the Hornets were the New Orleans Hornets and then back to the Charlotte Hornets. Somethings need to stay the same. The Charlotte basketball team should always have been the Hornets. When they moved to New Orleans they should have been forced to be the Bobcats. What a shitty name.
