That isn't what was reported back when I used to read up on it. He was always one of the examples on how BMI is very inaccurate. I probably misstated him being obese. Probable fell in the overweight category now that I think about it.

The BMI calculations need adjustments though.

EDIT

This isn't the same sources I read it from but it is an example of the stuff I did read.

"Take for example, basketball player Michael Jordan: ''When he was in his prime, his BMI was 27-29, classifying him as overweight, yet his waist size was less than 30,'' says Michael Roizen, MD. "
