Michael Jordan's favorite ways to entertain friends probably does not differ that much from the average person. Obviously, he could provide a setting that few could match, but sharing conversation, good food, and having fun don't have a lot to do with wealth.

Since Jordan is known to enjoy a game of chance, it would be logical to assume that he might enjoy casino activities with some of his friends. While my friends and I might enjoy a little penny-ante poker, he might have slightly higher table stakes. That would probably be a good bet. A man of his wealth might take a group of friends to Las Vegas, or elsewhere for a night of fun.

The golf course is probably another place where Michael might be found with a few close friends. Most professional athletes cannot resist the lure of some type of competition. Anyone who remembers Jordan's game on the basketball court must also remember why he was so good. Tremendous ability was combined with a great competitive spirit. Without a doubt, competitive games are a high probability form of entertainment for Jordan and friends.

Another category of friends that Michael Jordan might entertain would be female. It is unlikely that he feels the need to compete with them at athletic challenges. I also doubt that he particularly cares to challenge them to games of chance. Rumor has it that he can be quite the lady's man, so the following source of entertainment is probably accurate. Please bear in mind that there is no basis in fact to these thoughts.

Elegant locations and elegant meals by candlelight would be just his style. The advantages of being wealthy in combination with an appreciation for the finest make Michael Jordan a formidable candidate to wow the ladies with lavish romantic evenings. Whether it be his significant other, or otherwise, I cannot imagine Michael lacking the knack of planning an evening to remember. Adding the financial ability to do it right, this knack could make for entertainment beyond our imaginations.

Only Michael Jordan knows to a certainty his favorite ways to entertain friends. We are left to use our imaginations based upon observations that only scratch the surface. I hope that this conjecture is somewhat accurate, because this is how I want him to be. A talented, and gifted person with a gift for entertaining friends equal to the gift for entertaining sports fans that he has always displayed.
