“I’m like 'I’ve been working on my s**t, he ain’t messing with me’” - Former NBA champion says Michael Jordan is a "nice" golf player

Michael Jordan is arguably the greatest player in NBA history. Besides being amazing in basketball, the six-time NBA champion is also a talented golfer and loves beating his opponents on the green.

On No Chill with Gilbert Arenas, J.R. Smith, a former NBA player, spoke about Jordan's golfing skills. Smith praised the former Bulls star's short game.

"He's nice. I ain't gonna lie, at first I'm like, 'Man, I've been working on my s**t. He ain't messing with me, ain't no way,'" Smith said. "The thing about his putt, he got it made for him. He only hit it about 255-260, so all the trouble come in at 270 and on. So if you hit it long, you're gonna be in trouble all day long."

One thing that makes Michael Jordan special is his competitiveness. Whether it's basketball or golf, he gives it his all in order to succeed.

J.R. Smith has always been high on Michael Jordan's golfing skills and he also pointed out that the six-time NBA champion talks trash even on the green. This doesn't come as a surprise since Jordan was one of the best trash-talkers during his time in the NBA.

Michael Jordan and J.R. Smith both enjoy golf

Michael Jordan and J.R. Smith are both NBA champions and golf enthusiasts. After retiring from the NBA, Smith enrolled at North Carolina A&T State University and joined the golf team. The two-time NBA champion was even named the Academic Athlete of the Year.

Michael Jordan, meanwhile, has enjoyed golf for decades. Many players have shared fantastic stories about the former Bulls star beating his opponents on the green, with Jordan once calling up Charles Barkley at 4 AM for a friendly game.

Apart from Jordan, many other NBA players have also tried their hand at golf, but very few have really excelled.
