Michael Jordan Was NOT Robbed At GunPoint – Hoax Alert
More than a few times today I have seen a few Facebook friends sharing an article about NBA legend, Michael Jordan, being robbed at gunpoint and I did a little sleuthing and wanted to help quell this rumor before it's shared any further.
The story goes like this; Michal Jordan was doing a shoe signing for the release of the Gamma 11 shoes and someone stole his shoes at gunpoint and made him autograph something. The story is laced with a lot of profanity and racial slurs that look like they are from a police report.
The story in question came from Cream BMP Daily, and my first thought was, "How am I finding out about a story like from something other than ESPN or Sport Illustrated?"
Sure enough, with a quick check of Snopes you can find that that Jordan robbery story is a complete farce. Cream BMP is a satire site. If you scroll to their "about me" section you'll find this:
