Friday, July 07, 2006

A Northeast Portland man is suing basketball superstar Michael Jordan and Nike founder Phil Knight for a combined $832 million. Allen Heckard filed the suit himself, June 29th in Washington County Court. Heckard says he's been mistaken as Michael Jordan nearly every day over 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," said Heckard.

Heckard is suing Jordan for defamation and permanent injury and emotional pain and suffering. He's suing Knight for defamation and permanent injury for promoting Jordan and making him one of the most recognized men in the world.
