Michael Jordan Incriminated in Tiger Woods Scandal

Per Yahoo (Vanity Fair):

But Vanity Fair indicates that it wasn't just Tiger's inner circle covering up for his behavior. Famous names like Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan brought Woods along for gambling junkets to Vegas. He'd stay at the Mansion at the MGM Grand, in a one-bedroom suite that ran $5,000 a night. And when he'd bet, he'd bet big -- up to $150,000 a hand of cards.
Barkley and Jordan have had well-documented problems with gambling. Barkley has claimed gambling losses of up to $10 million in the past, and in 2008 had to repay a $400,000 debt to the Wynn Casino. Jordan's gambling was the subject of an NBA probe in the '90s.
Not coincidentally, former Woods advisor John Merchant had no regard for Jordan's influence on Woods: "Stay away from that son of a [profane], because he doesn’t have anything to offer to the [profane] world in which he lives except playing basketball," he allegedly told Woods at the time. More recently, he told Seal, "Are they his black role models? You’ve got to be kidding me." (After the accident, Barkley noted that Woods had changed his number and wasn't returning Barkley's calls.)

Sorry, it's not even close to being a rapist.

I don't see what is incriminating in the article you linked. Everyone has known for years about Jordan's gambling. It's really not surprising that he and Tiger would be gambling together in Vegas. I'm sure they have a lot in common, each being the GOAT of their respective sport.

Michael Jordan gambles? No fricking way. How had we not heard about this earlier?

I don't understand what Jordan or Barkely did. They are single and rich. They can do whatever the frick they want to do.
Tiger slept around on his wife that he just had kids with. That is why he is under so much heat.
I am not saying Jordan and Barkely are great people, but Tiger's actions are not their fault.

What is "incriminating" bout that?
Holy frick the 2 richest athletes of all time bet big hands? I'm shocked, shocked I say to discover gambling in this establishment.
What did you think Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan would do? Play $10 blackjack? Make $25 4 team parlays?
