When it comes to competitiveness, there are very few who can match Michael Jordan. Known as “His Airness“, the NBA great has time and again shown how dominant he can be on the sports field. A story of him playing golf with former NHL star Ryan Whitney has now surfaced online, which has left the fans stunned.
Speaking on the recent episode of the Spittin’ Chiclets podcast alongside Paul Bissonnette and guest Justin Thomas, Whitney reflected on the time he shared the greens with Michael Jordan. The 41-year-old revealed how brutally he got roasted by Jordan after losing the match against him.
While revealing the story, Whitney recalled that the basketball legend did not say a word to him until they reached the par-5 17th hole. On this, Jordan would effortlessly drain his putt and make a birdie. Meanwhile. Whitney struggled with his birdie putt and missed.
This miss led to an hilarious reaction from Jordan who in his competitive spirit dropped a bomb and claimed, ‘That’s right b****”. Whitney would end up losing the final hole too which led to the former Chicago Bulls star roasting him.
We go to 36. I finish the last hole. Another press, lose that hole too. He’s like, ‘A scratch golfer … Bitch you couldn’t scratch my wife’s a**!
