Michael Jordan has a reputation for being kind of a party animal. He likes to gamble, smoke cigars, and play golf. His Airness marches to the beat of his own drum, and doesn’t exactly give off the impression that he cares what people think about it.  According to Gossip Extra, those are the characteristics that have his future neighbors at Jack Nicklaus’ The Bear Club already annoyed.

“I don’t know which is worse,” a source inside the community said. “The half-smoked cigars in the grass or that fact that he rarely plays without a posse. I’ve seen him out there with 10 people and they’re hooting and hollering. The point of living in this place is that it’s quiet. The residents are seething but there isn’t much they can do about it.”

That certainly sounds like Mike.  Jordan hasn’t moved in yet, as his modest 37,000 square-foot home is still under construction.  His spokeswoman, Estee Portnoy, said that the above opinion is just that of one person and called Michael a “true gentleman.”  I wouldn’t go that far.  If the other residents are concerned about half-smoked cigars on the grass, they should make M.J. a bet that he can’t smoke his entire cigar and then throw the end of it in the rubbish. Or play him for it. We know he likes to golf and talk a little trash - even if it's with a former President. One thing he’ll never do is turn down a wager.

  • Depends on where Jordan is depositing his butts. If he's leaving them on the golf course, then the club management I'm sure has certain rules of etiquette they could impose on Mr.Jordan. If he's just indiscriminately tossing them hither and yon he is guilty of littering and should be reported. Sorry Mike, being possible the best BB player that ever played the game gives you no right to be a jerk. In fact, it's disappointing that you aren't setting a better example for your neighbors instead of being the target of this criticism.
  • People never fail to amaze me !!! Just another reminder to MJ(and all those other rich BLACK athletes), that no matter what, you will never be EQUAL. You are just a rich darkie and the same rules that apply to rich white guys do not apply to you. What is a cigar butt ?? It's nothing the white boys haven't done before. I don't condone MJ's behavior, but who else got a write-up about a cigar butt?
  • I don't condone Michael's action either, but it appears to me that you are a poor disgruntled WHITE non athlete that hates on anyone that has more than you do.
  • Your comment stinks of racial crap. Mr. Jordan is massively successful in buisness, and sports. The color of his skin is of no relevance. Your clear 'issues' are full of distain. Get real, it is 2011.
  • what does making money have to do with being equal? equal to what? to who? there is no such thing as 'equal' grow up
  • LOL!!! Who ever you are, you sound a hot mess. Nobody cares about what a white cracker boy has done before. You just mad cause black athletes are just all out better than you whites, always have been. So for you white peps who think like u Frenchie get over it, and get it right. You will never be equal to us.
  • What do you expect from black ghetto-trash?

    The standards are always lowered to accomodate them and, frankly, I'm tired of it. The standards were obviously lowered for him to qualify to live there, so go complain to the committee who allowed him to purchase property and build his home. They are the ones who should be held accountable.


    Jordan isn't well liked out here, either, in Las Vegas because he demands everything, but pays for nothing. He is one C_H_E_A_P son-of-a-b***h. There's a reason his back-court playmate was called "No Tippin' Pippin" because Scottie Pippin never left a gratuity - never! Besides putting his back-court sidekick to shame, MJ is a boorish, classless a*****e.

    Karma, eventually, gets everyone. Just ask Scottie Pippin.
  • And given that there are more white people on this planet, it stands to reason that there is far more white trash as well. Talk about white trailer park trash mentality...get over it dude...we're here and not going anywhere...AND WE'RE RICHER THAN YOU ARE TO BOOT! DON'T HATE CONGRATULATE!
  • You mean white wet trash? It's so funny how trash just falls out you white peps mouth. Get a life and stop hating on us blacks. Just stop, we can't help that were better. Your comments sound a hot mess lol.
  • Black ghetto-trash? Standards were lowered to qualify Michael Jordan? Are you kidding me? Michael will be a "self made" billionare. Not a intelligent statement, so who's the trash. It's amazing how people can have such disdain for certain athletes who've done nothing wrong ie.. Lebron, who simply chose to go to another team. Jordan, who just bought a house. Or even Tiger who had of had personal issues, no crime. I'll bet if you look at any poll of the most dislike sports figures you will find guys like them and maybe T.O. Jay Cutler and justifiably Vick but, chances are you won't find sandusky or paterno those guys are protected. Hell even their wives will watch them rape innocent kids. Talk about standards, or maybe they just want an "equal" playing field.
  • It really is too bad that too many sports figures in any venue act as though they are above the law. Jordan will have his day in court. Someone some day will take him to the proverbial wood shed and burn his britches. Every dog has it's day. Ain't that right DOG? Pistol Pete would put that arrogant bum to shame on the court.
  • tabby your rational re trash whites vs black is flawed...what does it matter what race has what % of the population as 'trash'?
    as for we're richer than you are???what the heck you talking about? black trash richer than white trash? blacks richer than whites? you do some sort of demographic study based on income and wealth acumulation? or you just talking our of your ass??,,,gee listening to Al Sharpton you'd thinks blacks have nothing and every other race has everything
  • Sounds like a bunch of magnified crap just to try and vilify MJ. Wow! The worst thing you can say is that he smokes cigars and has people golfing with him. I'm curious, would he be the first to smoke a cigar and golf with friends at this golf course. C'mon man!
  • Many great golf clubs limit access to the course to just those who are playing and their caddies. If MJ wants a posse, they should caddie, its a better way to play the game anyway
