This was the exact type of quote that I expected from Michael Jordan. It wasn’t Jordan’s fault he was dragged into this, but if you expected something stronger, you haven’t been paying attention to Michael Jordan’s entire career.
He simply does not make very strong statements on political or social issues.
He does a lot for the community, but he does it through charity and isn’t very hands on.
Matt Barnes went to IG to call him out on it.
