The Canadian claims Jordan couldn’t beat him at ping-pong and the retired basketball player kept betting tens of thousands of dollars.
The many stories of NBA Hall of Fame legend Michael Jordan being a big gambler have been substantiated over the years, and Canadian rapper Drake added another story to what people have been saying about the former Chicago Bulls All-Star.
In a recent video clip posted by RapTV on social media, Drake tells a story about going up against who many feel is the greatest NBA player of all time several years ago. The “OVO (October’s Very Own)” label owner claims that he was beating Jordan in ping-pong when the oft-talked-about competitive nature of Jordan appeared in a big way.
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.
“I respect him deeply for his gambling nature. So, yeah, I’d say Michael Jordan’s definitely one of one.”
