HeckardAllen Ray Heckard (pictured) filed the lawsuit claiming that he looked like Jordan and was tired of being mistaken for the basketball superstar. He said it caused emotional pain and suffering.
Heckard did not give a reason for dropping the request for $416 million from Jordan and $416 million from Knight. However, Nike says no payment was made to convince him to drop the suit.

CRAZY! Why would Nike or MJ give him money? I heard he was wearing a pair of Air Jordan's during the newscast. LMAO!
