Jordan ‘Ringer’ says Life is Hell I Want Some Money

Guess he never thought to grow his hair, beard, something that would reduce the chances of looking like Michael Jordan.
Oh, and he’s suing Jordan and Phil Knight (for making him a star) for $832 million. Here’s the rest of the story.

This tidbit below is from KGW:
“I’m constantly being accused of looking like Michael and it makes it very uncomfortable for me,” said Heckard.
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.”
Most people would consider that a high compliment.
“Yes…don’t get me wrong it’s definitely a positive thing, because Michael, like I say is one of the best ball players that I’ve known to play the game. But then again, that’s Michael and I’m me. So I want to be recognized as me just like Michael’s being recognized as Michael.”
Dressed in blue Air Jordan tennis shoes, Heckard might seem to be actually trying to look like Jordan but Heckard doesn’t see it that way.
