“Its Hard to Find Rhythm”: After Being Endorsed by $2.5 Billion Worth Friend, Michael Jordan Once Ditched Basketball to Praise Another Sport

There is no denying that the NBA legend Michael Jordan was a magnificent player in the league. His strategic game and stunning skills have made him a legend on the basketball court. But that’s not all. The legend excelled in almost every sphere he stepped in. So it should not come as a surprise that the legend is spectacular on the golf course as well.

His Airness took the entire world by storm when he stepped on the hardwood. His agility and ability to score became a force that led the Chicago Bulls to the championship. The fierceness and killer mentality with which he used to play on the court was remarkable. He could bring the same power and energy to the golf course as well. 

Michael Jordan’s passion for golf

The 6-time champion’s stories of triumph and glory extend to the golf course as well. While he might not be a pro player, his skills made him good enough to give a tough time to the other players. The official page of the PGA Tour recently shared an old clip from one of Jordan’s golf games. 

The clip was captioned, “A Chicago legend Michael Jordan, the ultimate competitor on the court and on the course”.  Here is the clip:

However, in the clip, Jordan was seen to admire golf more than basketball for a very brief moment. Expressing his admiration for the sport, he said, “I don’t want to Jinx myself and come out to play like a dog; but I have been playing pretty good … Golf is a battle within yourself…which is very, very difficult. It’s hard to find rhythm, whereas basketball is easy to find rhythm.”

Even pro players such as Jordan’s $2.5 billion worth friend, Tiger Woods, and Rickie Fowler admire his golfing skills.

Tiger Woods praised Michael Jordan

Appreciating the NBA legend’s golfing skills, Woods mentioned how his Airness was one of the most competitive players he had ever met. The two stars happened to meet each other thanks to their love for golf. Woods himself witnessed Jordan play with the same fierceness and power on the course. He has always appreciated the legend’s game, whether it’s on the court or course.

Six-time PGA tour winner Rickie Fowler thinks similarly of the athlete. Both the athletes often play golf together. And Fowler has never shied away from stating that his games with the legend have been quite beneficial for him. That indeed proves his Airness’s prowess in the sport. While much has been said about the GOAT debate so far, his Airness will remain one of the most incredible players in history. What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments.
