Kennedy is shilling her autobiography. In it, she tells a story about meeting Michael Jordan in 1995 when she was 23.
Now I'm going to be the first one to admit that "90s TV Star Hawks Autobiography" is a story that barely qualifies for this board. But I'm posting it because of the Jordan angle. If you're not a sports fan, you may not know this: Jordan is compulsively competitive. I mean "break out the DSM-V beta criteria" level of competitive. The second most popular conspiracy theory about NBA commissioner David Stern* is that Jordan's 1993 "retirement" was actually a cover for Stern wanting to suspend Jordan for a hellacious gambling scandal. Add to that him having a reputation of being spectacularly ruthless, and I think Deadspin's lead on this item says it best: "The best thing about all the 'MJ is a shit' stories is that, knowing what we know about him, every single one is plausible. There's not a tale that could make you sit up and say, 'No way, Jordan couldn't have been that much of a jackass.' Today's is a good one." http://deadspin.com/647195397 * First: Stern rigged the 1985 draft lottery to get Patrick Ewing to the New York Knicks -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
