“He Would Ooze Tar”: 6x NBA Champion Michael Jordan’s Toxic Nature Was Horrifying During His Time With the Wizards

Michael Jordan has been anointed as the GOAT by many for a reason. His time with the Bulls was nothing short of legendary. After all, the man did win 6 championships in Chicago, putting the city on the NBA map.

And of course, it certainly helps that all 6 of those rings came as a part of two different three-peat runs.

However, as most fans have tried to forget, MJ’s time with the Bulls wasn’t his only time spent in the NBA. No, there was his stint with the Washington Wizards as well.

Of course, given the man’s age, he wasn’t even close to what he was with the Bulls. However, what many may not know, is what the man’s mental state was like at the time. And it’s a story you’re going to want to know.

Michael Jordan’s toxicity as a teammate in Washington was unbelievable, as per Etan Thomas

Michael Jordan of course had tons of new teammates in Washington. Heck, Kwame Brown is probably the most famous of the lot. But of course, the Bulls icon was more of a bully to him most times, than anything else.

However, when it comes to teammates that Michael Jordan actually spoke to about how he felt, Etan Thomas stands out amongst the crowd. And on one occasion, he had quite the shocking reveal about His Airness’s attitude during his time with the Wizards.

Frankly, this does seem to add up.

Michael Jordan has always been one of those people who is ready to give up everything to win. And even when he did get those victories, the man was still known to push his teammates.

So, suffice it to say, when you put that kind of person on a losing franchise, things aren’t exactly going to be flowers and sunshine.

But speaking of his glory days, how about we go back to a famous moment from a practice session back then?
