VIDEO: Jeremy Roenick Claims MJ Drank Beers Through 2 Rounds of Golf Before Dropping 50 on the Cavs

You want to hear the perfect Michael Jordan story? It involves golf, plenty of beer, gambling and a monster individual performance on the basketball court. Former Chicago Blackhawks center Jeremy Roenick joined 670 The Score sports radio in Chicago and recalled a time when he played 36 holes of golf with Jordan -- who allagedly drank something like least 10 Bud Lights throughout their excursion -- before he had a game against Cleveland later that evening.

After all that golf and day-drinking, Jordan scored 52 points and the Bulls beat the Cavaliers by about 26, according to Roenick.
I'd say he delivered in a big way.
After hearing that incredible story, is LeBron James really better than MJ? Perhaps that comes down to whether your're more of a beer guy or a wine snob.
