There’s nothing Michael Jordan loves more than a challenge. Nothing that gets his competitive juices firing on all cylinders like someone saying he can’t do something. He became one of the greatest basketball players of all-time by repeatedly proving people wrong, especially those who bet against him. Today Michael Jordan is still proving naysayers wrong and proving that he is someone that you never want to bet against. Check out what happened in Lake Tahoe earlier this month where a fan bet Michael that he couldn’t hit the green. How do you think that turned out? Just take a look.

Jordan loves to interact with some of his fans as we have highlighted here on the blog before. While it is great to see fans get enjoy some time with Jordan, it is exceptionally difficult to grab an autograph of MJ at public events. With all the pushing and screaming, getting a good quality signature is even harder. And then to prove he actually signed it, you’ll be lucky if you have a blurry picture from a friend trying to get an image of you with MJ. Just take a look at how crazy it can get:
