This story about Michael Jordan depriving Horace Grant of food after bad games gives new meaning to “Be Like Mike”

Focus On SportThe year is 2020. Michael Jordan has been retired for over a decade and a half. We've seen three presidents, a couple of wars, the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the birth and death, at least culturally speaking, of something called Facebook since MJ hung up the AJs. The world has changed, but one thing hasn't: Everyone, at least in the wake of 'The Last Dance', still wants to “Be Like Mike.” The question, though, in today's day and age, knowing all we know, hindsight being 20/20 and all, is should we?
Well, if this story from longtime NBA writer and Jordan insider Sam Smith about how #23 used to treat teammates, namely Horace Grant, after bad games is true, the answer is almost definitely not. Here's what Smith told the Tolbert, Krueger and Brooks Podcast this week:

Of course, John Daly would also garner serious consideration for the top spot.
But, if this story is to be believed, Australia's Scott Hend would certainly be in the conversation as well. Have a watch:

Some very quick research would show that Hend must be talking about the 2008 Pertamina Indonesia President Invitational on the Asian Tour. That week, Hend won by three strokes over Taiwan's Lin Wen-tang, shooting rounds of 71, 69, 66 and 66 to finish at 16 under. It was his first Asian Tour victory, and it came after puking on the golf course and shooting a..

The internet has fallen head over heels for Swole Daddy, the KBO mascot the Western Hemisphere deserves

The KBO has landed in American shores like a house on fire. No, really.

OK, OK, so we meant that metaphorically. Since ESPN began broadcasting the start of a brand new KBO season on Tuesday morning, American audiences have fallen in love. We are crushing on the camera work, plucked straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster, and swooning over the ridiculous team sponsorships, such as the Kia Tigers and Samsung Lions, but the true apple of our eye is not a what but a who. His name?
Swole
f'n
Daddy.
