Michael Jordan Met With An Italian Mafia Boss Once, But Ended Up Being The Bigger Savage That Day

 

This is one of the insane Michael Jordan stories that form a huge part of his superstar aura.

An Italian mobster recalled the time when he met Michael Jordan who played ping pong against the head of security. 

 

“I love Jordan. To me, he’s still my all-time favorite basketball player, but we were at a security meeting once with the NBA, and Michael’s playing the head of security for table tennis… Of course, Michael wins. He wins everything.

He goes up, he comes down. He hands Michael the five bucks. I witnessed it all and Horace looks and he said “Michael, five bucks?”, and he says ‘yeah. This is my trophy. I beat you’. Puts it in his pockets and walks away. I said ‘wow, this is intense’.”
