Incredible police action as Michael Jordan was stopped by roadblock

We all know that there are some celebrities who are so famous and respected around the world that the usual rules and laws don’t seem to apply to them.

One of those people is Michael Jordan. Especially in the US. There he inspired the general public in the eighties and nineties so much that people let him do what he wants – without having to face the consequences.

Michael Jordan accelerated to 150 miles per hour

His former teammate and good friend Charles Oakley now shared one of those stories. While promoting his new book, Oakley recalled the time Jordan was driving 150 miles per hour down a highway and was stopped by a police roadblock – but with no penalty . Simply because he is Michael Jordan. (Note: Most US states have a speed limit of 70 to 75 miles per hour).

No law applied to NBA superstar Michael Jordan

“We’ve always been together, once we were driving on a highway at 110, 120. You can tell when someone is catching up to you, and when a car came up behind us we just went faster, like 140, 150 The next thing we saw was about 20 police cars set up a roadblock two miles away where we stopped and got out.

Oakley: “A police officer said, ‘Oh, Mr. Jordan! We’re sorry we stopped you. Just drive a little slower, please.”
