One of the dirtiest players of all time! Childs complained about Jordan: he will make a bad move and then seek the referee's favor

On May 24, Beijing time, former New York Knicks guard Chris Childs was unequivocal when asked about his experience against Jordan. In an interview with NBA reporter Brandon Robinson, Childs described the Bulls legend as:"One of the dirtiest players in basketball history"。

"He'll play tricks on you, then turn his head to the referee for favoritism,"Childs told Robinson. Childs played in the NBA from 1994 to 2003 and was known for his physical toughness and straight-up style of play, especially during his time with the Knicks. While Jordan is widely regarded as the best player of all time, Childs stressed that the pair's multiple matchups were littered with off-ball confrontation and trash talk.

"The principle I've held to from the beginning has been: I'm a man like you, and I want to be treated with the respect I deserve," Mr. Childs said. He clarified that his sense of competition does not stem from personal vendettas, but from the pursuit of mutual respect on the court. "If you don't respect me, then I'll take it back myself," he added.

Childs recalled his interactions with Jordan after retiring, including golfing together in Miami, but made it clear that the six-time NBA champion is still based on professional competition. "I hate him on the pitch; I hate all the people who don't wear Knicks jerseys," he said. This mentality reflects the combative spirit of the Knicks in the '90s – a team philosophy based on defense, tenacity, and an old-school mentality of refusing to bow to superstars.
