Imagine meeting Michael Jordan, but you can’t remember the moment the next day. Australian rugby star Monty Ioane knows the pain of it, better than most people. The 29-year-old got to meet Jordan but was unable to recollect anything the next day because he had “one too many drinks.”

Now, meeting Jordan is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for those who have been fortunate enough to experience that, in Ioane’s case, the Chicago Bulls legend approached him to have a conversation which is now, unfortunately, hazy for him.

He recently talked about this crazy experience during an interview with The Straits Times. Ioane said that he was at a nightclub in Paris where he had this encounter. He said, “I was heading to the toilet, I’d had one too many drinks, and this guy started talking to me, I had no idea what he was saying.” From whatever Ioane can recollect, things almost got heated between them as his uncle had to intervene. He said, “My uncle came over because he thought he was trying to cause trouble.” The realization that he had just met Michael Jordan didn’t hit him before it was a bit too late.

“They had a few words, and when we went back to our booth someone asked us how we knew Michael Jordan. Turned out, the guy we were having words with was Jordan”, Ioane added.

Michael Jordan takes his liquor very serious

It is no surprise that Jordan is a man of exquisite taste. Not only that, he values the brands that he has started and always upholds the principles on which they were founded, even if it means taking the risk of possibly offending someone. Jordan is one of the founders of the highly revered tequila Cincoro. Now, Cincoro is one of the best-performing tequilas on the market and despite being in the market for a short period of time, it has made its mark.

There’s a specific way that you can consume Cincoro, especially if you happen to be around Jordan. Musician Pitbull went through the experience where he made the mistake of almost breaking the Cincoro consumption ritual. As Pitbull was going to take a shot of that around MJ, he was stopped. He recalled Jordan telling him, “Nah you don’t take a shot of that. You sip that.” Based on the demand from the brand’s owner, Pitbull had to resort to taking his advice. “I did sip it and I got fu**** up”, he added.
