The Mixer star explained why Michael Jordan had put him on a \u201cDo Not Enter\u201d list. Ninja has become one of the most recognizable brands in entertainment. Whether it\u2019s his rise to stardom playing Fortnite, or his industry-defining move to leave Twitch for Mixer, the personality has become the face of gaming for many. However despite his notoriety, the personality revealed during his latest stream that he was once rejected by NBA legend himself Michael Jordan. The streamer explained to his friend Dr Disrespect that it happened during the All-Star Weekend. Ninja reveals incredible Michael Jordan story Ninja was in the middle of a Call of Duty: Warzone broadcast, when he revealed to his streaming partner Dr Disrespect that he had a story involving the NBA. \u201cWant to hear a funny story about the NBA All-Star Weekend?\u201d he asked. The Mixer personality then explained to Doc that he had actually been rejected at a party at the event. \u201cI was put on a DO NOT ENTER list for one of the parties,\u201d he said, before telling the Twitch streamer to guess whose party it was. \u201cWas it a player?\u201d Dr Disrespect asked. Ninja at first said no, before changing his answer to yes. The Twitch star then correctly guessed that it was a retired player from the NBA. The Two-Time Champion took his best guess, and asked if it was Scottie Pippen of the Chicago Bulls. Stumped he said, \u201cUm, I don\u2019t know. Who?\u201d Ninja then revealed the player to be Michael Jordan. Laughing Doc said, \u201cJordan said NO to you, HUH!?\u201d The Mixer star explained \u201cIt\u2019s because it was a Nike x Jordan party.\u201d He then jokingly added, \u201cI mean, listen. I\u2019m proud of myself, I only cried for like 20 minutes in my room after.\u201d Ninja\u2019s rejection makes sense, seeing as in December 2019 he unveiled his very own shoe with Nike rival Adidas. And if nothing else, getting rejected by Michael Jordan is an honor \u2013 as it means he sees you as a rival. The 28-year old streamer continues to crush it in 2020. At the time of writing, he\u2019s amassed over three million followers to his channel. He\u2019s also build up a major following across his YouTube and Twitter accounts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
