Drake Confirms Michael Jordan’s Gambling Habit

Canadian rapper Drake has added another chapter to the many stories about Michael Jordan’s love for gambling. In a video posted by RapTV on social media, Drake recalled a memorable ping-pong match with the NBA legend during the 2016 All-Star Weekend in Toronto.

Drake said that after beating Jordan a few times, the Chicago Bulls icon couldn’t stand the loss. “Gambling GOAT? To me? Controversial take but Michael Jordan,” Drake explained. “I think I remember it was All-Star Weekend in Toronto, and he had an event to be at.

I beat him at ping-pong, like, a couple times, and he just wouldn’t leave the ping-pong table. He kept just betting me, like, bands. 10 bands, 20 bands.”

“Gambling GOAT? To me? Controversial take but Michael Jordan,” Drake stated. “He’ll gamble on anything. I think I remember it was All-Star Weekend in Toronto, and he had an event to be at. I beat him at ping-pong, like, a couple times, and he just wouldn’t leave the ping-pong table. He kept just betting me, like, bands. 10 bands, 20 bands.”

Drake did not state if Jordan ever won or how much money he eventually lost or won back, but he spoke of the constant betting that went on, alluding to Jordan making more bets, signifying that Drake may have beaten Jordan more times than he would have liked.

“Just kept betting because he just couldn’t stomach the loss, you know? He’s definitely not a quitter,” Drake continued.

Drake stated he appreciated his “gambling nature” and determined that the G.O.A.T. (Greatest of all time) was one of the best gamblers, adding to what’s been said about Jordan throughout his playing and retirement years.

Although Drake did not reveal the final outcome or how much Jordan eventually won or lost, he noted that the constant betting continued as the basketball star tried to erase his defeat. “Just kept betting because he just couldn’t stomach the loss, you know? He’s definitely not a quitter,” he added.

Drake praised Jordan’s competitive spirit, saying, “I respect him deeply for his gambling nature. So, yeah, I’d say Michael Jordan’s definitely one of one.” This story adds to the long-standing narrative of Jordan’s high-stakes side, both during his playing days and in retirement.
