From Kgw.com news
A Northeast Portland man is suing basketball superstar Michael Jordan and Nike founder Phil Knight for a combined $832 million. Allen Heckard filed the suit himself, June 29th in Washington County Court. Heckard says he’s been mistaken as Michael Jordan nearly every day over the past 15 years and he’s tired of it.
Heckard is suing Jordan for defamation and permanent injury and emotional pain and suffering. He’s suing Knight for defamation and permanent injury for promoting Jordan and making him one of the most recognized men in the world.
Heckard stands just over six feet tall. He is not six foot six like the real Michael Jordan. But Heckard says many people seem to miss that. He does share a bit of resemblance to the real Michael Jordan. Heckard has a shaved head, an earring in his left ear, and is in good shape from working out, and yes, playing basketball.
“Even when I go to the gym I’m being accused of playing ball like him (Jordan), said Heckard.”
Something tells me that if he could play ball like Jordan, he wouldn’t be sueing him and Nike for 416 million each…
I don’t think he is gonna win his law suit but he did get the Florida Masochist Knucklehead of the day award…

He recieved the “jackass of the day” award at a local radio station in my area. Although I’m not sure if the attorney that filed the suit should would have been the more appropriate recipient, otoh Heckard is taking the shysters advice…

Wow. Thats really really dumb of that guy to sue so much. If you look like someone you look like them. Suck it up, it should really be a compliment. Its not like Micheal planned it or anything, it was out of the random. So what if u have the same looks? Doesnt mean your the same person. Heckard is just JEALOUS he isnt Micheal Jordan or has his money. Therefore he has to sue him for the money instead of working for it. What a fool.
