According to former NBA player Kenny Smith, Michael Jordan was known for being frugal. Smith shared an anecdote about how his daughter wanted a pair of Jordan shoes, so he reached out to his former teammate to see if he could send them. However, Jordan responded by saying his daughter was smart for wanting his shoes. This incident highlighted Jordan’s stingy nature. Additionally, Smith revealed that during their time at UNC, he used to overcharge for Adidas shoes due to their limited availability, and even Jordan asked him to purchase them. This further demonstrated Jordan’s frugality.
