Jordan’s teammate at the time, Rod Higgins, confirmed MJ never partook in the partying that year: “Whatever somebody else might have been doing off the court, if it was partying or whatever, that wasn’t part of what he wanted to do. Orange juice and 7-Up was his go-to.”
Jordan added: “I wasn’t going to the clubs, I don’t smoke, I don’t do [cocaine] lines, I didn’t drink at the time. I was looking to just get some rest, get up and go play.”
