Michael Jordan‘s motivational name-calling wouldn’t have worked with Udonis Haslem — the Miami Heat star says he would’ve straight FOUGHT Jordan if he was ever called a “bitch.”
“If I’m one of them people Mike talking to like that, I might put hands on Mike,” Haslem said Tuesday during an IG Live with Richard Jefferson.
“I might put hands on Mike.”
“And, I love Mike to death. Mike the greatest of all time. But, you can’t call me the b-word and the h-word.”
“Nah, all right Mike. We gonna have to square off.”
Of course, MJ let the expletives fly in an attempt to motivate his Chicago Bulls teammates in the ’90s … which was showcased in the most recent episodes of ESPN’s “The Last Dance.”
One of the targets of MJ’s trash talk was ex-Bulls teammate Scott Burrell — but when we spoke with SB this week, he said he’s not mad about it at all!

“I loved it! I loved the way he pushed me, I loved the way he motivated me,” Burrell said.
“I think Michael had different techniques maybe some people didn’t think were great leadership qualities.”
One person who did fight back — Steve Kerr — who famously punched MJ in the chest during a heated practice, only to get socked right back in his eye.
MJ later said he felt bad about beating up “the littlest guy on the f*cking court.”
Haslem, on the other hand, is not a small guy — he’s 6’8″, 235 pounds.
Would’ve been interesting to see how THAT fight would’ve gone down.
