The sports world erupted in an unprecedented emotional turmoil after basketball legend Michael Jordan unexpectedly posted a lengthy, emotional and angry post on his personal Twitter account – just hours after the sad news of the passing of his close friend, Charlie Kirk, was announced.
According to social media witnesses, Jordan’s post appeared at around 8:42 p.m. California time, with the short but shocking title:
“Enough is enough. You don’t know what it’s like to carry it all.”
In the nearly 500-word post, Jordan is said to have poured out all the pent-up emotions he had been feeling for years – from the pain of loss, the pressure of fame to “the loneliness of an icon who is not allowed to fall.”
A Twitter user who was lucky enough to capture the post before it was deleted revealed that Jordan had mentioned “hypocrites in sports” and bluntly said that “legacy is not trophies – it’s the scars we have to hide.”
In particular, there was a passage that made the online community explode:
“They wanted me to be perfect, but I was just trying to breathe.”
Less than 10 minutes after the post appeared, Michael Jordan’s Twitter account was suddenly locked, the entire post disappeared without a trace, leaving fans around the world extremely confused.
A Jordan media staff, when asked, only replied briefly:
“We’re not making any comment at this time.”
(We have no comment at this time.)
However, according to an exclusive report from The Daily Hoops, Jordan has been in a “very fragile state of mind” since the death of Charlie Kirk, whom he considered “a brother, someone who knew him better than anyone.”
Social media immediately erupted. The hashtags #PrayForJordan and #MJBlogLeak rose to the top of the global trending list within 40 minutes.
A host of sports stars – from LeBron James to Magic Johnson to Tiger Woods – left brief messages expressing their deep sympathy.
Veteran commentator Stephen A. Smith said on ESPN’s live show:
“This is not the Michael Jordan we see. This is a man in pain, trying to say something the world has never heard.”
Many media experts believe that this incident could become a turning point in the public image of Michael Jordan, who is known for his secrecy and absolute control of his statements.
A veteran sports writer wrote in Sports Illustrated:
“For 30 years, Jordan has been a wall of silence of greatness. Today, that wall has cracked, and we all hear it.”
Currently, Michael Jordan’s Twitter account is still locked, and his management team has not made any official announcement. But one thing is clear:
The earthquake called ‘Jordan Blog’ has left the entire basketball world in a state of shock and emotion.
With just one post – and then disappearing forever – Michael Jordan once again left the world breathless, not because of his greatness on the court, but because of the nakedness of his heart off the court.
