Portland man suing Jordan dresses like Mike

Ruu_Old

Stupid, stupid people, wah, wah, wah! A picture of Jordan and Heckard compared to each other.:)

Some might wonder how Allen Heckard decided to sue Nike founder Phil Knight and basketball superstar Michael Jordan for $416 million each.

The damages, a total of $832 million, were listed in Heckard's June 29 filing in Washington County Circuit Court for defamation and permanent injury. Heckard, who lives in Northeast Portland, said he's tired of being mistaken for his more famous twin.

"Well, you figure with my age and you multiply that times seven and ah, then I turn around and ah I figure that's what it all boils down to," Heckard said.

The question remains – is the occasional confusion with an admired celebrity worth $800 million.

“Well,” said Heckard, “You never can put a value on a person's life. You know you're taking my lifestyle away from me. So you know...we'll let the ball bounce like Michael does...where it’s supposed to fall."

Jordan has not commented on the lawsuit.

I couldn't tell them apart.

Dave!

F*cking scumbag!!! Put him in jail, the f*cking disgusting leech!!!

I can't see him winning in court, however I suspect that MJ and Nike won't want to take that risk, and they'll settle it out of court, with the dirt-bag pr*ck gettin a fair few quid just for bringing it up :rolleyes:

Ugh........

"Even when I go to the gym I'm being accused of playing ball like him (Jordan)," Heckard said.

If I were Michael Jordan I'd sue the b@stard coz people might confuse him with a money-grubbing dick-head from Northeast Portland.

NO, no he is suing Jordon for looking like him.

I am just waiting for the day when sports players have to wear masks to protect other people who look like them. Ultimately it would be easier to copy right a mask and market it.

I think he looks more like Evander Holyfield

he should grow some hair, and then he wouldnt have that problem.

Any lookalikes around? You could earn yourself a few eurons for a couple of hours in the High Courts.

The Hill Billy

I've been told that I look like this guy...

Am thinking of suing the pants off him.

Jordan should counter sue him for him looking like Jordan.. make for an interesting court case then..

Mossy Monk

wouldnt it be interesting if he had a big big accident that caused permanent scarring

people like him make me sick

He should forget the lawsuit and just go around getting free stuff all the time (like Homer when he people thought he was Krusty)

He should be punished severely for wasting court time.

crybaby

usually silly lawsuits result in an out of court settlement, i am hoping that Nike and Michael Jordan dont spend a penny on this man and instead do everything in their power to make sure he is punished for taking up everyones time. what an arsehole
