Michael Jordan is not Client 10

March 13th, 2008 | Posted by PostmanE

Michael Jordan’s reputation has taken its fair share of hits in the past few years. His wife divorced him, photos of him partying surfaced, and so on, and yet still he is the teflon shoe salesman. That he still rakes shoe sales 10 years after his final years in the league [WASHINGTON TENURE REDACTED] is an indicator of just how popular and iconic he remains.

It says something else about Jordan that the first instinct anyone has when a Chicago-based counterpart in the Emporer’s Club sting is revealed as Client 10, everyone crosses their fingers and hopes it isn’t Mike:

Answer: It’s not basketball legend Michael Jordan, according to Jordan’s attorney Frederick Sperling.

To wit: In order to end rumors that unnamed Client No. 10, who requested an Emperors Club prostitute for March 4 in Chicago, may have been Jordan, Sperling tells Sneed: “I have just received confirmation from Assistant U.S. Attorney Rita Glavin in New York that our client Michael Jordan is neither a subject nor a target of this investigation.”

Case closed.

Well, then. Glad that’s cleared up. Of course, one would assume Jordan has no problem pulling women without dropping thousands of dollars and arranging a rendezvous. One would also assume that about Elliot Spitzer. What, there are no ambitious political interns in Albany? Dayum.
