When you’re the best basketball player in the world, people will run after you and even try to use you.

When Michael Jordan reached all-time fame status during the peak of his prime, he too was a victim of being used for his status.

After all, when you’re the best basketball player in the world, people will run after you and even try to use you.

That’s also why MJ admitted that he hates going out in public because he turns into a nasty person when his privacy is invaded.

One of the first times Mike realized that people were after his fame was through his ex-girlfriend, who he admitted only dated him for his assets.

No time for fake love

In a well-written profile interview for GQ Magazine in 1989, Jordan opened up about his past relationships and how he realized that women were dating him not for love but the money.

After just ending his relationship with Robin Givens (who Jordan reportedly dated in 1989), the actress went on to marry professional boxer (at that time) Mike Tyson.

In 1988, Given and Tyson’s relationship went turbulent and drew horrible media attention, as well as the divorce.
