Over the years, there have been numerous accounts of NBA Hall of Fame legend Michael Jordan's love for gambling. Recently, Canadian rapper Drake shared his own story about going up against the former Chicago Bulls All-Star. In a video posted by RapTV on social media, Drake recounts a memorable encounter with the man many consider to be the greatest NBA player of all time.
According to Drake, this all went down during the 2016 All-Star Weekend in Toronto. He claims that he was playing ping-pong with Jordan and actually beating him. But as we all know, Jordan is fiercely competitive and this was no exception. Despite losing, he refused to give up and continued to challenge Drake to more games, with higher and higher stakes.
Drake recalls that Jordan had an event to attend, but he just couldn't tear himself away from the ping-pong table. He kept betting Drake tens of thousands of dollars, with the rapper winning multiple times. However, Drake never revealed if Jordan ever won a game or how much money he eventually lost or won back. But it seems that Jordan couldn't handle the thought of losing and just kept betting in hopes of a comeback.
Drake acknowledges Jordan's tenacity and determination, stating that he respected his "gambling nature." To him, Jordan is the G.O.A.T. of gambling, adding to the rumors and stories that have surrounded him throughout his career and retirement. Drake admires Jordan's never-give-up attitude and considers him to be one of a kind.
In a separate interview with Stake, Drake revealed that he beat Jordan for over $20,000 in their ping-pong showdown. This bold statement further solidifies the claims of Jordan's love for gambling and his competitive nature. However, it seems that Drake has nothing but respect for Jordan and his skills on and off the court.
This recent story only adds to the long list of tales about Jordan's gambling habits and prowess. It seems that even in a friendly game of ping-pong, he just can't resist the urge to bet and compete. But as Drake points out, that's just part of what makes Jordan the legend that he is. And despite the loss, Drake has nothing but admiration for the G.O.A.T. of basketball and gambling.
