(BlackMediaScoop) “I signed up for a check. Not to save lives.” Michael Jordan, now the 4th most scoring NBA player seems to have pissed folks off with his comments about young people dying for a pair of his shoes. We spotted this article in Naha Daily and the source is an unnamed shoe store worker. The article has since gone viral on Facebook.

We’re here to let you know it’s FAKE! You can read it below…

“Jordan told a Foot Action employee during an in store sneaker signing that kids dying over his sneakers is not his problem. He’s here to sell shoes and receive a check, because that’s all he signed up for. “I mean I’m sad, but it’s just not a problem that I could fix.” Jordan went on to say that speaking up on kids dying over his $200 dollar sneakers is just not going to solve any problems.

“They want to buy my shoes. Not hear me talk.” Michael Jordan shoe related death’s has reached over 10,000 since the release of his first sneaker in the 80’s and it just seems to rise every year as they become more exclusive and hard to come by. “You know how many Asian people have jobs, because of my shoes? My sh*t boost the economy”
