As soon as I saw that video I knew it was fake. One of the tweeters said that once they saw the fake MJ the fans were booing, throwing back the free t-shirts and more than half the crowd left. Whats more sad...The daily herald posting the story, Brandt Anderson stooping that low for marketing purposes or the people that feel for it?

I was at the game and I am seriously disappointed in B-Russ. Really disappointed. I didn't think MJ would ever do something like this but I would've kicked myself for the rest of my life if I had missed it. I really thought B-Russ would show more respect to his fans than that.

I actually heard that MJ was buying a house here. Deron was talking to his son over Twitter a while ago and he said he'd be in town looking at houses.

But knowing that this is fake I still like the effort.

You simply can't get more stupid from a marketing perspective. I can't wrap my head around this, what the hell were they thinking?

Haha what a joke. They sold a lot of tickets though so I guess it worked.

MJ manages to embarrass B-Russ and Utah yet again and this time he didn't even have to do anything.

IANAL but isn't this technically unauthorized use of Jordan's name/likeness for financial gain? Anderson and the Flash could see a lawsuit (but almost certainly won't).

I think this amounts to fraud for personal gain. Especially, since he hired an imposter to be seen around town.

He promises Orien Greene will be in attendance at the next game. I do not see why everyone is so upset.
