"He's a different personality": Carmelo Anthony on discovering a different side of Michael Jordan with golf
According to Carmelo Anthony, Michael Jordan, who is known for his intense competitive spirit, keeps that part of his personality separate when not playing basketball.
Continuing his conversation on Tuesday's episode of his podcast, Anthony also discussed how he discovered a different side to Michael Jordan after spending time with him at non-basketball-related events.
"When he's in that element, he is a different personality," Anthony said. "It's like he's more relaxed. He is doing something completely away from what he's known for. ... When he's at a non-basketball event, he is having the best time." (Timestamp: 29:30).
Anthony suggested that this change in nature isn't just limited to golf, claiming that Jordan is visibly more relaxed at racing events. To Anthony's credit, the Chicago Bulls legend is often seen sitting with the pit crew and smoking cigars whenever he attends to watch his team, 23XI Racing.
