Former NBA player Ron Harper played with and against numerous great players throughout his career, including Michael Jordan during the Chicago Bulls' second three-peat. Harper revealed that other players were intimidated by Jordan's skills and many tried to trash-talk him, despite knowing it was a mistake. Before joining the Bulls, Harper hung out with Jordan but avoided saying anything wrong in hopes of not becoming a target during their games. Despite this, players like Reggie Miller, Nick Anderson, and Gary Payton would often try to talk smack to Jordan, which only motivated him to dominate on the court.
