When Michael Jordan Was Humiliated by Wayne Gretzky in Las Vegas Because of Waitress
Michael Jordan hasn't been humiliated in life as such but that wasn't the case when he went out with Wayne Gretzy in Las Vegas. Let's find out what happened.
One of the most illustrious athletes in the history of the NBA is Michael Jordan. Many people consider him to be the greatest player of all time because of his amazing on-court performances while playing for the Chicago Bulls. He still enjoys having a good time off the court. He is well known for going to casinos, playing poker, and other games, and he was usually the winner every time except for this one time.
Retired athletes who can confidently state that they embarrassed Michael Jordan are few and far between. This time, MJ was humiliated by Wayne Gretzky as he showed the Chicago Bulls legend how to give a tip in Las Vegas.
How Did Gretzky Humiliate Jordan?
Michael Jordan chose to place a drink order. The NBA legend was soon served by the attentive waitress, and MJ chose to give her a $5 casino coin as a thank you. Wayne Gretzky was having none of it and decided to handle things himself.
Rich Strafella said, "I remember one night when Wayne Gretzky insulted Michael Jordan at the table. It was a private parlor game. Michael had ordered a drink from the cocktail waitress and gave her a five-dollar piece. Wayne took it off the cocktail waitress's tray, handed it back to Michael, took a hundred-dollar chip from Michael's stack, and put it on the cocktail waitress's tray. Then he said, 'This is how we tip in Vegas, Michael.’"

The individual responsible for disclosing this intriguing tale about Michael Jordan was an eyewitness. The best celebrity anecdote Rich Strafella ever heard was shared with the Urban Daddy portal in 2010. Rich Strafella was the former vice president of the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas.
