Out of his many talents, Michael Jordan also actively masters the art of trash talk. Back in 2014, before the start of the NBA Season, the Charlotte Hornets owner took over their Twitter page to hype up fans for the upcoming exciting season.

However, American professional golfer, Keegan Hansen Bradley, thought it was a good opportunity to engage in a little friendly banter. He commented, “MJ how does it feel to get beat by me every day at bears club?!”

However, Keegan forgot to judge Jordan’s superior skillset when it comes to trash talk. Without taking a long pause, MJ replied to Bradley. He wrote, “Last time I looked, you were wearing MY shoes. You don’t see me wearing Air Keegans…”

As a matter of fact, Keegan has been seen wearing the very famous Air Jordan golf shoes on multiple occasions. Jordan, thus, left Bradley speechless.

Jordan speaks boldly about Tiger Woods

The foundation of this friendship was laid many years ago when Woods was only 14 years old and began admiring Jordan. He aspired to be the Michael Jordan of golf. Years later, the Nike deal transformed their admiration into friendship. Whether it was fate or a manifestation, the duo’s friendship likely won millions of hearts. However, their relationship has taken a turn for the worse since then.

After the 2009 incident, Woods distanced himself from almost everyone, including Jordan. While commenting on the same in 2016, Jordan predicted the future of Woods’s career. He said, “This bothers him more than anything. It’s a ship he can’t right and he’s never going to. What can you do? The thing is about T-Dub, he cannot erase. That’s what he really wants. He wants to erase the things that happened.”

He added that “The thing is, I love him so much that I can’t tell him, ‘You’re not gonna be great again.’” However, Woods proved all speculations wrong with his historical comeback in the 2019 Masters. MJ cheered him on and called this the greatest comeback he has ever seen. He was quick to acknowledge the efforts Woods made and congratulated him for the same.
