He told Krause, “you gave me your word.” (Which in Johnny’s day, your word is everything). Krause told him, “Show me that in writing.”

Rodman ' Never coached him but had great respect for him. He said Rodman used to sit outside Pistons practices afterward with a shotgun to his head. 'I'm lucky I never coached him, I probably would have told him to do it already.'

From the reddit post linked (funny how Gawker has a war on reddit but steals all their shit):

Not sure the girls meeting MJ thing is true. I saw him and Oakley at a club around 2004 and he was very active without detectives.

One of the reasons a lot of people doubted the veracity of the stories was because the Bulls-Hornets series only went 4 that year, but it does kind of look like MJ lays off Bogues and just yells at him here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hh30faX ... age#t=549s

He banged some high school girl from OPRF at a summer camp in his very early years. He learned quick.

The other BS was that Pippen was a thug coming into the league. That guy was as back assed shit kicker. He just oozed of being a country rube in a big city. He certainly wasn't a tough guy as the Pistons attacked him because of his weakness.

These stories are old.

Pip was as green as one could be and he dodnt tip at CATCH 35 because he didnt know if he should or not when the owner tells him to come in and everything was on him.

No matter how green he was, you learn fast in the NBA that everywhere you go you have groupies ready, willing and able.

No doubt, but he wasn't a thug. He and Horace were two country bumpkins

Another story I don't believe from that deadspin article.

Where Johny Bach tells Jordan he doesn't have the money for the $1,000 HOF dinner and the airline ticket and hotel. Bach was an NBA assistant coach for 20+ years. So he's making a 6 figure salary over those years. He could afford it.

Now, what I do believe is him telling MJ that he was broke cuz he knew MJ would pick it up. Which he did. So nice move Johnny.

The reddit post goes on to say he was divorced three times which wiped him out.

NBA Assistants don't make that much money, especially during his time. I'd be shocked if he was even pulling down $100k per season even at the end of his coaching career.
