I was a good sport about it. The fact that an unmemorable guy like me has an unforgettable name is a blessing.

That said, I have to deal with a lot of the same comments 

"You're Michael Jordan! I bet year hear a lot about that..."

"Did you play basketball?"

"Were your parents huge Chicago Bulls fans?"

That is fucking hilarious 🤣

Did you ever feel tempted to change it, or were you always a good sport about it when you were younger?

I give them a hard time about it but their reason is actually decent. I was born in '89 when Michael Jordan was ascending - he hadn't won his championships.

My mom just liked the name Michael and my dad (while not a big sports fan) is from Indiana, THE basketball state here in the US. They thought it seemed like a good fit.

Never could they anticipate what would happen in the 90s and what it would be like showing up to school every day with the most famous name on earth...

I'm Michael, CGO at The Bitcoin Way and host of The Bitcoin Way Podcast!
