    Wow

    I think this shows just how stupid people in America's society can be. I'd have never thought that a person would actually ever think of suing for something that is in nobody's control to deal with. To make the case even worse, he sued for an unreasonably high amount of money, I mean $832 million? How did he even come to that amount of money? He doesn't even really look like MJ too much but it would help if he would change some of the stuff he wears. This is all probably a stunt to get some attention.

    MJ should sue this guy for claiming he looks like him.

    First, this guy doesn't even look that much like Jordan. If it bugs him to look somewhat like Mike, he should grow out his hair or wear a hat.
    Second, how distressing can it be to be treated and mistaken for a hero?
    Third, this case will never be more than a big fat joke.

    From what I hear of the American system it could actually turn out in his favour.

    He is suing for 'defamation' and because he feels he is uncomfortable being mistaken for Jordan, even though he has been for the past 15 years.....

    Now that's a crazy claim...

    This guy was on Jimmy Kimmel Live a couple weeks ago. Jimmy had him outside the studio and some guy asked people on the street to see if they can tell him who this guy was. Some people said Jordan and I don't know. He also got KG, Jerry Rice, and a couple others. It was pertty damn funny. This guy standing in his suit outside and Jimmy was just making fun of him.
