NBA Legend and Hall of Famer, Michael Jordan has lived a life that plenty of other sporting legends desire. His fairly close friend Tiger Woods once depended on Jordan to teach him the way to the worthy life his talents demanded. The world saw their friendship as two sporting legends equals, but Tiger is 13 years younger than Jordan, which turned the friendship into mentorship.

Woods used to hang around with Michael Jordan and Derek Jeter when the world saw the three as players who cannot be replaced. Jordan and Jeter, at that time, had their way around ladies. One night when the three of them went to a nightclub, it lit a fire in Tiger Woods’ mind after watching the charm of his mates.

Wright Thompson wrote in an article by ESPN, “One night he went to a club in New York with Derek Jeter and Michael Jordan. Jeter and Jordan circulated, talking with ease to one beautiful woman after another. (Both declined to comment about the episode.)

“At one point, Tiger walked up to them and asked the question that lives in the heart of every junior high boy and nearly every grown man too. “What do you do to talk to girls?” Jeter and Jordan looked at each other, then back at Tiger, sort of stunned. Go tell ’em you’re Tiger Woods, they said.”

Tiger Woods always felt that he and Michael Jordan did not put in the effort to strengthen their bond, they had a natural connection as the two were considered the best ever in their sport. “I think we have a mutual understanding,” the golf legend said about Jordan in an interview with CNN.

“Without even having to speak because we know we’ve both been there,” he further added. “I’m living it, he’s living it, he’s living it now, he’s back into it now. So, I think it’s that natural bond of knowing what it takes.”

One of their outings was picked up by Wright Thompson, Tiger, Jordan and a big group went out for dinner at a restaurant owned by Tiger himself. There, Tiger got drunks and told plenty of his stories, laughing. He discussed a lot about his injuries to which Jordan once said, “The thing is, I love him so much that I can’t tell him, ‘You’re not gonna be great again.'”
