NBA Content Creator Helps Roasts Michael Jordan For Dress Attire
NBA great Michael Jordan was known for a lot of things during his career.
One of them wasn't his fashion sense. After an old video criticizing Jordan's clothing attire, NBA content creator decided to take it to task. Here's the commentary:
EX-NBA PLAYER TURNED DOWN BIG SALARY TO PURSUE DREAM
Former NBA player Troy Hudson turned down an overseas contract to chase NBA dream
He had a chance to make a six-figure salary by playing overseas but Hudson wanted no part of that.
"Someone wanted to pay him an God-awful amount of money," said Bill Neff, who is Hudson's agent. "And Troy said, `I'm not going overseas and Troy said, `I'm not going overseas. I said, `Troy, this is more money than you've ever seen. It's $200,000 cash for a month and a half."
At the time, Hudson felt he was "not an overseas player. I'm an NBA player." Hudson took a gamble despite struggling financially shortly after college.
"I probably had about $500 to $600 in my pocket," Hudson said. "Bill hit me up and was like, `they're going to playoff, they're going to pay you like $250,000 for a month and a half. Let's get ready. I was like, `That's not my dream. My dream is the NBA."'
The move paid off for Hudson. He played eight games with the Utah Jazz in the 1997-98 season before beginning an 11-year NBA career. He had stints with the Los Angeles Clippers and Orlando Magic before making his biggest impact with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
He averaged a career-high 14.2 points with the Timberwolves in 2002-03 before playing a huge role in them making the Western Conference finals in 2004, where they lost to the Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant Los Angeles Lakers.
