Former tennis legend John McEnroe is well-known for his fiery disposition. He had garnered quite the reputation when he was an active player, and it made itself known recently as McEnroe got into a bit of a screaming match with rapper Travis Scott.
The leaked Zoom video made its way to social media as they argued over their collaboration with Nike, the Mac Attack. Travis’ lucrative brand is called the Cactus Jack, but John asked for a compromise from the rapper. The former tennis star asked Scott to change the name to Cactus Mac for this occasion.
While John wanted to change the name, Scott was not in favor. He was adamant that the name should remain the same, which prompted John to retort, “C’mon man, show a little respect, this is my shoe!”

Scott did not want to change the name to Cactus Mac, as he joked it sounded like a burger. John, who had had enough, dropped out of the Zoom call, feeling frustrated.
Earlier in June, Nike announced the revival of John’s signature shoes, the Mac Attack. The apparel giant got Tavis onboard, and they breathed life into the shoe.

John McEnroe has been busy of late. The 7-time Grand Slam champion was recently in Tanzania to promote tennis. However, when he is not busy with tennis, he is playing pickleball.
John McEnroe shows his humorous side
Pickleball has quickly become the go-to sport for many athletes, including John. The second season will be interesting to watch since McEnroe will partner up with another tennis legend, Maria Sharapova. Another tennis icon, Andre Agassi, will partner up with none other than Steffi Graf.
While the second season is still a while away, McEnroe made some interesting comments about Agassi. He was talking to his pickleball partner Maria when he said that Andre was a “bit of a chump.” John even poked a little fun at his lack of hair.
