Though Antoine Walker and Michael Jordan were never teammates in the NBA, they did once join hands to play 36 straight hours of spades!

How did they even sit up straight for 36 hours and keeping playing cards? That’s exactly what Walker revealed when he appeared on the ‘All Things Covered’ podcast. Jordan’s gambling stories are infamous for the money involved, and this one is no different!

“When Mike calls, the buy-in goes up a little higher. It’s going to be a number that everybody has to bring to the table. I’d say $20,000 just to get in. If you don’t have $20,000 to get in, you can’t even play. Mike was competitive. I remember one time we played spades for 36 hours,” Walker mentioned.

The 2006 NBA champion also had more details about this anecdote. Walker and Jordan teamed up against two guys to stretch their game of spades, and this took place right before Jordan’s comeback announcement after his first retirement!

Walker also stated that MJ allegedly postponed his scheduled press-conference because he wanted to keep gambling.

No matter what, the game had to come to an end at some point. And it would only end if Jordan was exhausted. That’s right, that’s how it came to a close.

“They had us down $900,000 and we got back all the money except for $20,000. Mike did not want to see them win $20,000. They ended up winning $180,000 because he got too tired. He was falling asleep at the table,” Walker said.
