Michael Jordan Wins Golf Bet with Fans at Celebrity Tournament in Tahoe

Michael Jordan has a well known reputation as a gambler. His Las Vegas tales are legendary, as is the rumor he took two years away from the NBA because of gambling problems. But as Charles Barkley said, it’s not a problem if you can afford it.

Our friends at Busted Coverage spotted this great video taken at the celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe. In the video, you can see Jordan negotiating the terms of a bet with fans as they place money on a bench:

Next we get to see who will collect on the bet after Jordan steps to the tee to see if he can hit the green on the Par 3:

We already knew that doubt is what motivates MJ, but those fans found out the hard way. At least they have the coolest story ever to share with their friends.
