Jordan's brush with death by samurai sword
The story: after Jordan's freshman year at UNC, some evangelist was doing a prison ministry tour in which -- and the reasons for this are unclear -- his act involved
- Getting a notable person to lie down on a table
- Putting a watermelon on their stomach
- Getting a samurai sword
- Putting on a blindfold
- Chopping the watermelon in half with a mighty swoop of the samurai sword, while it rests on the person's stomach, miraculously leaving them unscathed
I guess the idea was that this crazy act demonstrated the power of faith. Or something. Regardless, this time the notable person was still-young Jordan. So they brought Jordan to the prison, had him play against the prison's best player to win the prisoners' respect (!), and set the future GOAT up on the altar for the sword trick.
Except Jordan was unusually lean, and the evangelist was nervous. And Jordan was too, first lying down then sitting up, then lying down and sitting back up again, until he eventually agreed to have someone just hold him down while he closed his eyes.
All of this was apparently somewhat justified, because the evangelist took two strikes to do it, went a little too far and cut through not only the watermelon, but through Jordan's special All-star warmups, and into the skin below.
Luckily, the wound was not very deep, and a few stitches closed it up.


Lebron nebi imao muda za ovako nešto.
