Some rather bizarre news to report you to now, as it has been revealed that a Michael Jordan look-a-like is sueing the former NBA legend over defamation and permanent injury, amongst a collection of other things.
As reported from MixxNews, Allen Heckard is not only sueing Michael Jordan, but also Nike founder Phil Knight as well. The most amusing thing about this, is perhaps the total sum of money he is claiming – said to be a combined $832 million.
Along with defamation and permanent injury, Heckard is also claiming for ‘emotional pain and suffering’ as he states: “I’m constantly being accused of looking like Michael, and it makes it very uncomfortable for me.”
We wonder what Jordan thinks about all of this, as he wakes up in the morning and has his breakfast. Let us know your thoughts on this.

Michael Jordan’s look a like shouldn’t get a penny he didn’t or doesn’t deserve it. If he doesn’t like looking like Jordan he should change his looks & deal with it. Michael Jordan is very famous & just because he has money doesn’t mean stupid people like his look a like want it, can get it by sueing for stupid reasons; they didn’t earn it & they don’t deserve it, especially for stupidity!
The look alike doesn’t think about this positively. First, he should be thankful for the fans and all the people saying he looks like MJ because either MJ fell off or that man is getting complemented and he should be thank. Second, he should use this as an advantage for gettin his 15 minutes of fame like a smart person would do. Finally, the money he could get by not sueing at all in the first place and the publicity he could get.
