Well, when you can’t get revenge on the court as much as you used to, you have to find that revenge somewhere. And in M.J.’s case, revenge for Laron Profit talking trash about Jordan’s “old-ass knees” was a dish best served very cold via an offseason trade. In fact, Profit would shortly be out of the league afterwards:

Profit spent three years overseas before, ironically, returning to the M.J.-less Wizards in 2004.

If The Last Dance didn’t cement it, this story makes clear that M.J. was as ruthless as they come. Even when you get the best of him, you can never sleep on His Airness imminent revenge. He’s like Jason Vorhees or Michael Myers in their 15th sequel. Even when you think you have the advantage, even when you think they’re washed up, there’s a machete that lurks somewhere nearby.

Poor Laron Profit paid the price but we get to learn the lesson for free. Sleep with one eye open if you cross Michael Jordan.
