On a recent episode of Busted Open Radio, Mark Henry recounted meeting former NBA basketball player Michael Jordan for the first time.
โGoing to the Olympics in 1996, I was friends with Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, David Robinson. I knew guys on the team personally, so I went to the hotel with Charles and while weโre in the lobby, Michael walks up. Itโs not, โHey guys, how are you doing?โ โฆ It was, โWho are you?โ I said, โWho the fโ are you?โ That was the introduction and Charles was like, โWhoa!โ It was the principality [of the matter]. You donโt walk up on Mark Henry and act like Iโm some kind of peon. I was somebody in this world and maybe I didnโt make the money you made, maybe people donโt know my name, and I donโt sell a billion in shoes, but Iโm Mark Henry. If I want to snuff your lights out, I could do it.โ
Henry stated that Barkley smoothed it over and the two were fine after that. Michael Jordan even invited him to the All Star game and even his own birthday party. Henry hasnโt talked to him since then.
Nation listeners! @TheMarkHenry talks his first encounter with Michael Jordan, anddd you won't believe how it went!
