Michael Jordan and Lawrence Taylor recently shared a light-hearted moment on the golf course, capturing the attention of fans online. The encounter took place at The Grove XXIII, Jordan’s exclusive golf club in Florida. Taylor, a former New York Giants linebacker and regular at the club, was playing a round when Jordan approached him in a golf cart.
The two athletes have been friends since their college days at UNC in the early 1980s. Their camaraderie was evident as they greeted each other warmly before Jordan playfully teased Taylor about his choice of footwear. “Call me anytime,” Jordan said, pointing to Taylor’s shoes and joking, “You really been on a m- relaxed since retirement! So relaxed like a m-, man.”
This exchange was captured on camera and quickly went viral after being posted by TikTok user @golfnutz4 and reshared by Ziregolf with the caption “Two GOATs.” Fans appreciated the genuine interaction between the two sports legends.
Buzz Peterson, a former Tar Heel teammate, once noted that Taylor’s physical style on the basketball court even gave Jordan pause. This recent playful jab might be seen as Jordan’s way of balancing their long-standing friendship.
