Michael Jordan's gambling stories have been captivating fans for years, and as Sam Smith tells Jordan's history on There Is No Next, another one has surfaced.
Smith spoke to former Bulls assistant Johnny Bach, who revealed that Jordan's former Bulls teammate Jack Haley lost $17,000 to Jordan during a flight during a road game. Haley lost the money during a card game with Jordan, and when he couldn't pay, Jordan knew who Haley could call.
Bach says that Jordan allegedly told Haley, "You call Daddy Warbucks now. Daddy owns a restaurant." Bach added that Haley's father met with Jordan the following morning to give him the money.
Afterward, Bach claims that Jordan told Haley, "Don’t f***ing play with me, Jack, if you can’t pay off. I don’t want your money, but you lost, and Daddy has to come with that money in cash."
