WASHINGTON -- As Michael Jordan's legend grew during his glory days with the Chicago Bulls, NBA players quickly learned to follow a strict code: Don't make him mad.

Because Mike likes vengeance.

 




The Indiana Pacers' John Long once refused a handshake from Jordan before the opening tip of a game in April 1987. A properly angered Jordan proceeded to score 53 points.

Initiate trash talk? Out of the question.
