A physical education teacher from Laney High claims that some myths about Michael Jordan are inaccurate.
One of the most infamous stories involving Jordan is that he was cut from the varsity basketball team as a sophomore, which motivated him to become perhaps the best player in the game's history.
"Back then, (most) 10th-graders played JV; that's just the way it was. Nobody ever 'cut' Michael Jordan," Ruby Sutton, who still teaches physical education, told the Charlotte Observer.
"Him not making the varsity that year was not his motivator – he was motivated well before that. He just always wanted to be the best."
Are you insane? Michael Jordan used to use the name of the guy who beat him out (Leroy Smith) to stay at hotels.
