Michael Jordan had plenty nicknames during his playing career.

He was Air. He was also MJ. And some called him His Airness.

NBA content creator Michael Dion Peek has added a new moniker for Jordan. He refers to him as "Jordan Krueger." It's a reference to Peek suggesting Jordan was unable to go left during his playing days. Kreuger is the fictional villain from the movie "A Nightmare On Elm Street." He wore a scissors-filled glove on his right hand while his left was vulnerable.

RODMAN GETS ROASTED BY DAUGHTER

NBA Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman is the father to a professional soccer player who won a gold medal at the summer Olympics in Paris.

However, she doesn't consider him a dad.

Trinity Rodman, who was a key contributor on Team USA, trashed her famous father during a recent appearance on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast with Alex Cooper.

"He's not a dad. Maybe by blood, but nothing else," Trinity Rodman said. "We tried to live with him, but he's having parties 24/7, bringing random bitches in. He loves the spotlight."

Rodman was one of the most intriguing figures when he played in the NBA. He led the league in rebounding multiple times while also drawing attention because of his on-court antics. He was a member of the "Bad Boys" Detroit Pistons in the 1980s before his dyed hair became a talking point with the San Antonio Spurs in the `90s. He later teamed with Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen for the Chicago Bulls, helping them win three straight championships from 1996-98.

Still, Trinity Rodman said her father has been mostly absent from her life. After years of being absent from her life, she told a story of how he met up with her at a playoff game in 2021. Afterward, he immediately disappeared again.

"He was like, 'I want to see you soon, I'm in DC,'" Trinity Rodman said. "I was like, 'OK.' And after that, radio silence. I didn't see him again until like, this year. I didn't talk to him or see him until, I think, right after the World Cup."
