Rare are the students who can claim to have found themselves on a green with Michael Jordan himself. Rarer still are the humans who can claim to have found themselves on a green with the one and only JR Smith. In this story, these two madnesses happened. Back to an iconic confrontation.
Retired from the NBA floors since 2020 and a new championship title with FC LeBron, JR Smith is not finished with the sport. Going from the big orange ball to the golf club during his new university course, Gérard seems to have found an activity that suits him and in which he flourishes. A reorientation that takes on its full meaning when you know how important it is Why invested in its various sporting activities. To tell the truth, Gérard had us all stunned when he was elected Academic Athlete of the Year, proof that despite appearances, nothing can escape him, not even a simple academic mention. And that is the mark of the greats.
On the other hand, some athletes may manage to outdo themselves in an attempt to compete with Gérard for the duration of a competition. This is the case of a certain Michael Jordan, not bad either in terms of swing, who had the reckless but marvelous idea of challenging JR on his new favorite playground. And guess what? The greatest basketball player in history did not take the shock and had to bow to his opponent. Yes, Gerard lost. An upset worthy of the 1995 Rockets, you might say. But MJ is not a novice in this sport dominated by Tigre Bois. An inveterate golfer for many years now, Jordan had no qualms regarding dashing his opponent’s hopes of victory. Some don’t lose their habits, it seems. And Gerard, as great as he is, has not slipped through the cracks of this formidable hunter Michael. The latter obviously reminding him who is the boss but who also took the opportunity to put him, among other things, a little verbal cleat behind the neck.

« […] Yeah, you had a good career, but it wasn’t great. – comments by MJ reported by JR Smith for Complex Sports
It’s a surprise to no one, His Airness is a legendary level trashtalker. Even at 59. And it was our international Gérard who paid the price this time, like many others before him. Anyway, Gégé keeps a memorable memory. Playing golf with his idol was one of the most childish feelings he had as an adult, but sadly MJ will never be fooled by the fact that he’s so-and-so’s hero. Especially if there is money involved.
JR Smith has therefore fulfilled the dream of millions of people on this planet. He saw Michael Jordan. More so, he played a round of golf with him. Even better, Jordan trashtalked it. But frankly, who is the luckier of the two? Real question huh, and here we have our little idea.
