mef Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 G'day Patrick, I saw telecast clips of MJ enjoying this year's Ryder Cup without a cigar. I recalled he was seen enjoying cubans when the tournament was held in Ireland in 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallones Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 » He is a very nice guy..very down to Earth...Loves his Cigars, and loves » Cuban Cigars even more........ He was the greatest basketball player of all time, but he was most definitely NOT a nice guy. He psychologically abused many of his teammates, cheated on his wife like it was his job, had a serious gambling problem (his first "retirement" was not by choice). One of the conditions of he and his former wife's reconciliations (before they ultimately got divorced) was that, when she called him when he was in hotels travelling for games, that he had to take her phone calls. She had to negotiate for him to take her phone calls. MJ was the best basketball player, and one of the top three athletes, I will ever see in my lifetime. I never looked for him to be any more than that, and, in my eyes, he never was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB24 Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 He was shown a few different times Saturday sitting on a step and along a fence smoking a cigar. They commentator actually commented and Jordan's love of cigars. I also read that one of the only requests that Miguel Angel Jimenez had for the weekend was a box of Cohibas, which they showed him smoking Saturday afternoon after his round was over. -Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What NBA player doesn't cheat on his wife? Not saying it's ok but don't knock him for that. 3. I know MJ loved to gamble and place large bets are some absurd thing but I don't think he ever had a "serious" problem as I don't think his gambling ever put him or his family or teammates in any kind of negative physical or financial situations. 4.

Just my opinions. -Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet big and not pay is Jordan's way....don't play golf with him......:-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB24 Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 MJ seems to be a big fan of HdM and Cohiba. I know his favorite is the HdM DC. I think he might also be smoking a RyJ in one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
