He Made A Million Dollar Shot And They Didn't Want To Pay Him

Mj is a big gambler
Of course he made the bulls pay up on the bet

Jordan took it personal

I believe after Don got his money, the team pushed to drop the insurance company as punishment. You bet that the insurance company a lot of money in PR and had to discount their service heavily.

Mike took that personally

He’s even luckier that this happened in Chicago, Michael Jordan’s palace, of all places

MJ Don’t play about money 😂 it doesn’t matter who’s money.

I always wondered what happened to the people who won 500k or 250k from these events. When teams gave away season tickets and merch it made sense. But a team giving someone that much money in one night is insane

After Don hit the shot Jordan actually whispered to him: “I got a poker game tonight, you in?”

insurrance companies are your best friends......until they have to pay you. Then they will do anything to not pay, anything.

They wanted a bunch of chumps to take the shot, not someone that could play.

Never liked basketball. As a kid Mr. Jordan was some one energy one was amazed by! So every body watched him. I've never heared anything bad on the man & it always seemed like he was a well respected person! It's good to hear stories like this where Mr. Jordan only gives us more reason to have respect! Great storie!

Rip Craig 🙏

The name of that insurance company that didn't pay up is American Hole 'N One Inc

I do not think was the three-point line with Oscar Robinson played??

He got to hug Jordan! That’s probably worth it to him on its own. Lol

Great story, great video.

W mj the fucking GOAT

Wow didn’t know mj did this he could’ve just not cared or said it isn’t his problem

MJ wont like that

Leave it to the scuumbags in the insurance industry

Mad respect to Michael Jordan, the Legendary Pokemon 😍😘😗😙😚☺

1 million dollars invested in the 90s would be worth way more now than the 50k annually smh

Lmao insurance companies are such soulless corporate hacks

Respect to them boys for that

to put it into perspective that was in 1993 which was 30 years ago. After inflation that 1 million dollars doubled into 2 million dollars today. And the insurance company scammed him out of his well earned money

🤷🏿🤷🏿🤷🏿🤷🏿 Lebron didn't do this

It's already insanely rare to make the shot. But, that's not enough. They also don't want anybody that actually has played a little ball to do it.

i work with the guy now. He is a really humble guy wow i didnt know this was him wow

How were these other contestants so unathletic? If it were me, I'd be training night and freaking day.

Failed society

Cheated - should not of been paid and gave a chance to a non cheater

Nice nice !!

Bro you a legend!💯

You could have literally told this story in 30 seconds lol 😂

ur the greatest

Honestly I woulda taken the tv

I used to be in my middle school basketball and used to make 3 pointers all the time and I am in college now I still wonder what was I on cause I can't even dribble now

full class to Michael Jordan, and i've never heard of this story. Basketball, isn't a big thing in my country, but i looked up Don
"Don later continued to work with office supplies, getting approximately $38,000 (after taxes) every year until 2013. He characterized the money as nice, but not something that made him feel rich. Thirty years after making the shot, Calhoun lives in the Midwest and has four children, one of whom was able to earn a college degree (the first in the family to do so) and later a medical degree partly thanks to his father's prize money"
pulled from Wiki
think about it like this, that one Shot, and that act of Kindness from the Bulls, created a family legacy

That is so crazy. If I was that poor kid, and they told me I wasn't getting the money, I think I'd go into a deep depression and never be right again. So cool that Jordan and the team made sure he got what he earned. That was a very anxiety-inducing story...and then a heartwarming one at the end! Thanks for sharing!

If Michael never did this jerry might have let them go for another championship tho

Love your content, love your narration and enthusiasm - love everything about your work!! Keep it up!!!

A free tv for making a shot? Sounds like a bet

Such fricking legends

i wish i could beat the bank's ass
