Pamela Smith, the woman who accused Michael Jordan of being the father of her love child and filed a lawsuit against him, actually owes MJ money.

When you go after the bank account belonging to the greatest baller of all time, you'd better know what you’re doing. Apparently this wannabe “baby mama” didn’t.

On July 19, an Atlanta court judge threw out the paternity case and instead played the role of Maury Povich, informing the court that Jordan was indeed not the father. Smith, a self-proclaimed “loveologist” who wrote an advice book on . . . well, we can’t go there, failed to let the court know Jordan already took a paternity test in ’03 and it came back negative.

She was taking the man away from his Hanes commercials and golf for no reason.

According to Larry Brown Sports, the judge ordered Smith to pay Jordan’s legal fees, which total $9,700. Her teenage son must be the most embarrassed kid at school. Maybe MJ will take him out for a round of golf, but I doubt it.
