Michael Jordan, who was on the defensive team 9 times, was hit by “A Cadillac”
There is no typo in the title, Michael Jordan was in fact hit by a Cadillac.
Except instead of a car, he was a 6’10”, 229 pound NBA player.
Every NBA player has to go through the same rite of passage. No matter how great you are, you will inevitably find yourself at a point where another player will humiliate you. Every dog has his day, they say.
For Michael Jordan, the only thing we talk about is the greatness of him. How he was seemingly untouchable. Well, we might have idolized him to the point of thinking he’s made of gold dust. However, that is certainly not the case.

Like most athletes, you’ll find featured video of Jordan breaking his ankles, being submerged, denied, etc. But among the most memorable is the one of him being run over by “A Cadillac” and it’s not the one you’re thinking of.

It’s not good to see athletes eliminated for foul play. There is a sign of discontent from the opposition that is quite appalling. Players are the focus of their intentions and their reputation never stays the same.
This is especially true if the foul they commit is on a high-profile player.

When power forward Cadillac Anderson took out Michael Jordan, the stadium fell silent. They saw a man fall. Whether or not he could get up was a question that dragged on much longer than they expected.
Finally, after much deliberation, Michael got back to his feet and the crowd roared a cheer.
He also had 36 points, 9 rebounds and 11 assists, nearly a triple-double in that game. As for Cadillac, well, his name has made me pretty popular in the history books.
