    Default Man sues Michael Jordan and Nike for $832 million because he looks like Jordan

    Air lawsuit? Man sues because he looks like Jordan

    Tribune news services
    Published July 8, 2006

    A Portland, Ore., man is suing Michael Jordan and Nike founder Phil Knight for a combined $832 million. Allen Heckard filed suit, contending he has been mistaken for Jordan nearly every day for 15 years and he's tired of it.

    "I'm constantly being accused of looking like Michael, and it makes it very uncomfortable for me," Heckard said. 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.

    At 6 feet tall, Heckard is 6 inches shorter than Jordan. But he does bear a resemblance with a shaved head, an earring in his left ear and conditioning from, yes, playing basketball. How he decided to sue for $416 million each?

    "Well, you figure with my age and you multiply that times seven and, ah, then I turn around and, ah, I figure that's what it all boils down to."

    Fantastic. I love Oregon... Stupid people with stupid lawsuits tying up the courts with a frivilous lawsuit. If I were him, I'd be making money by being an impersonator, but I guess people want money for nothing.

    That is SO incredibly stupid! How on earth is is MJ or Nikes fault that this dude looks like him? That's like suing the weatherman because you don't like what his forecast was. lol

    He looks more like Montell Jordan than Michael Jordan. How strange some people are. Like any court in the US would pay out to him.

    We certainly live in a sue-happy world now where just about anything goes! How the courts even tolerate the drivel is beyong my comprehension. And we wonder what ties things up in the system!

    What is the actual lawsuit here? Damages due to malicious intent? Negligence? DNA? What?

    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.

    What a dumbass. It's obvious that he goes out of his way to look like Jordan. Feature-wise, he really doesn't resemble him. It's the same haircut, earring, etc that are similar.

    The truth is you can sue anyone for anything - as for winning THAT'S another subject... He'll NEVER win a penny - he is suing in hopes they will settle out of court and he will get something out of it! What an idiot!!
    No matter where you go... there you are
