Man says he's tired of being mistaken for MJ

A Portland, Ore. man has filed a lawsuit for $832 million, saying he is tired of being mistaken for Michael Jordan, according to KGW-TV.

The television station's Web site says Allen Heckard filed the suit against His Airness and Nike founder Phil Knight on June 29 in county court, claiming to have been mistaken for the basketball legend nearly every day for the past 15 years.

And he's tired of it.

"I'm constantly being accused of looking like Michael and it makes it very uncomfortable for me," Heckard reportedly said.

Heckard apparently is suing Jordan for defamation and permanent injury, emotional pain and suffering. He is suing Knight for defamation and permanent injury for promoting Jordan and making him one of the world's most famous athletes.

I can't believe what some people will do for money. This is beyond ridiculous.

maybe someone should arrange to have this guys a$$ kicked to the point of making him unrecognizable...wouldn't that be cheaper?

You know there is a market for celebrity lookalikes. What better way to get into the ation than by filing a frivoluos lawsuit for national headlines. The suit will get tossed, no doubt.

Ryou probably has the right idea. The guy probably filed the law suit hoping that corporate sponsors would notice him and contract him as a Michael Jordan look alike.
