Michael Jordan gets roasted by Twitter... Again!

Michael Jordan gets roasted by Twitter... Again! During his halftime speech at UNC, MJ said a very weird sentence

In case you didn’t notice, every time that Michael Jordan says “A”, half America moves to comment, analyze and - very often - mock him. Are you surprised? Well, maybe then you should know that the “Crying Jordan” meme, which represents his crying face during Hall of Fame speech, is one of the most utilized to mock the former Bulls’ number 23. Last night, it happened again, even if, to be honest, His Airness did nothing to prevent it.

During halftime in North Carolina Tar Heels - which Michael won the ’82 state championship - and Duke game, His Airness greeted the fans of his Alma Mater, benefiting of the occasion to officialize the partnership between the Jordan brand - which operates separately from Nike since a while now - and UNC’s football team. Of course, the basketball team was already Jordan-branded, but now MJ’s brand can have its second football franchise on its roster.

All very nice, but at the end of his speech - continuously interrupted by fans’ cheering - Michael said a sentence that left all the people stunned and cost him some mockery by Twitter, which had no mercy for former Chicago Bulls. “The ceiling is the roof. Let’s make it happen. Let’s keep moving forward.” A bad sentence, a simple mistake, but that will likely stay in web’s memory for a long time.
