Michael Jordan attained the status of one of the greatest basketball players to have ever blessed the sport in the NBA. However, the six-time NBA champ was also attracted to a couple of other sports including golfing and baseball. Apart from pursuing a baseball career after retiring for the first time in 1994, the Bulls legend shared a deep love for gambling and golfing. MJ liked to have golfing games with many renowned and also some infamous personalities while gambling on the golf course. Recently, a story about MJ’s golf craze from an NHL legend, who left the Bulls legend robbed and berated, stunned renowned UFC commentator Joe Rogan.

Michael Jordan gained a lot of negative attention for his habit of gambling while golfing. His on-course associations with some infamous people also caused him a lot of trouble with the NBA. However, once while playing with a National Hockey League legend in the 1990s, Jordan expressed his deeply-rooted love for gold despite having an NBA game to play in a few hours.

Michael Jordan stunned NHL legend with basketball mastery

In a recently posted footage from 670 The Score show’s senior audio producer Chris Tannehill, NHL legend Jeremy Roenick shared a story where a robbed and berated Michael Jordan stunned him with his brilliance on the court later in the night. During the ending stages of one of the dominating seasons by the Bulls, Jordan called Roenick to play an 18-hole golf game at the Sunset Ridge Golf Club early in the morning. The duo even called longtime caddie manager Greg Kunkel at the club too.

Jeremy Roenick shared that he won a couple of grand by beating Jordan during the first 18-hole game. However, despite having a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the evening, Jordan asked Roenick to play another 18-hole game. Moreover, Jeremy Roenick reckoned, “We roll around another 18 and I take him for another couple. And now we’ve been drinking all afternoon. And now, he’s going from the Sunset Ridge to the stadium to play a game.”
