After Common Played an NBA All-Star Game, Michael Jordan Told Him ‘Stick to Rapping’ (Watch)

Common tells a story about Michael Jordan in an interview with Men’s Health on YouTube

*Common had the rare occasion to play basketball in front of the GOAT, Michael Jordan, but apparently didn’t make a good impression.

In an interview with Men’s Health, the rapper/actor recalled stories throughout his career, including the time Jordan dissed his basketball skills after watching him play in the 2010 NBA All-Star Celebrity game.

“I had met Michael before because I was a ball boy for the Bulls when I was a kid,” Common said. “He doesn’t remember me from those days, but he also had come to one of my shows in Chicago at the House Of Blues. Mike was watching my show, but I didn’t let people know he was there ’cause he was up in the balcony. Until my last song.”

“When I did, everybody just watched him and just forgot I was on stage,” he added.

Sometime later, the two talked about Common’s level of play in the NBA game.

“I just played in the celebrity game and hit the last free throws to seal the game,” Common said. “In this picture, when I greeted him, he told me to stick to rapping. He grounded me in this picture, for sure.”

“I couldn’t believe that he didn’t recognize that my game was actually a good game,” he joked.
