Michael Jordan and Olden Polynice
Michael Jordan has become something of a mythological character since his retirement, straddling the line between basketball great and larger-than-life deity. Jordan’s historic NBA run, paired with his ferocious competitiveness, catapulted him to global superstardom. Jordan’s influence goes beyond the court and the business world, with famous stories of his trash-talking, gambling, and golfing. Despite his multiple exploits, Olden Polynice feels he might have been even better.
He discussed the situations that may have made Jordan even better in a recent podcast with BallySports: “Can you image if this person ate well instead of eating McDonald’s, did not drink and did not smoke? Michael Jordan, can you imagine? And did you work out on a regular basis? What about Michael Jordan? ‘Merry Christmas!'” Despite his many exploits on and off the court, Jordan’s love of cigars and drink is widely known. Jordan visited golf courses and casinos and could be caught playing cards with teammates even during the regular season and playoffs.
Michael Jordan’s greatest gambling and drinking stories
Despite his many exploits on and off the court, Jordan’s love of cigars and drink is widely known. Jordan visited golf courses and casinos and could be caught playing cards with teammates even during the regular season and playoffs. Off the court, some of Michael Jordan’s greatest stories occurred. Jordan made time for pastimes like golfing even while playing professionally. Some of Jordan’s most memorable moments occurred during those rounds of golf.
Jordan once golfed with NHL legend Jeremy Roenick before a game for the Chicago Bulls. Jordan allegedly drank 10 beers and lost a significant amount of money throughout the 36-hole round. Given Jordan’s busy morning, Roenick joked about taking the money and wagering it against the Bulls later that night. Jordan felt compelled to place one final wager, this time on himself. Jordan bet Roenick on scoring more than 40 points and guiding his team to a 20-point victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. As only Jordan could, he scored over 50 points and led his side to a convincing victory. As a result, he was able to cash in on his wager with the NHL legend.
