There was a book written about Jordan piling up over $1 million in gambling debt over failed golf bets. There are stories of Jordan being spotted in an Atlantic City casino the night before a 1993 playoff game against the New York Knicks. If Garnett’s story highlighted Jordan’s legendary competitiveness, a story told by Magic Johnson recently showed a less public side of Jordan’s personality: his passion for gambling. Kevin Garnett recently told a hilarious story about the time Jordan heard him trash-talking during his rookie season with the Minnesota Timberwolves and responded by taking over the game in the fourth quarter.
Michael Jordan’s legend only seems to grow in retirement.
