Michael Jordan's competitiveness knows no bounds. Whether he was facing off against opponents or teammates, the six-time champion always strived to come out on top. And it seems that Jordan wasn't satisfied with just winning on the court – he would even make people wager money against him. 

So, it shouldn't come as a surprise when a former Portland Trail Blazers star recently disclosed that he personally witnessed the Chicago Bulls legend taking money from his own employees after defeating them in card games.

According to Stoudamire, Jordan taunted his employees while playing against them, even telling them they didn't need to be paid that week because he had beaten them. Stoudamire, being a rookie with limited funds, wisely chose not to participate in the game and risk losing money to Jordan. However, he was still taken aback by Jordan's statement about not paying his own employees. 

This revelation aligns with countless stories of Jordan's intense competitiveness. It's not surprising to envision him sticking to his words and refusing to pay up. In fact, this was just one example of how Jordan was always willing to bet and find ways to outsmart his teammates.

Another instance of Jordan's cunning came to light when he made a wager with his teammates regarding whose bags would emerge first from the airport tunnel. To everyone's amazement, it was Jordan's luggage that appeared first. 

However, his teammates were unaware that Jordan had orchestrated the outcome by greasing the palms of a baggage handler with $50.
