New Book Reveals Mike Tyson Confronted Michael Jordan Over Robin Givens

There are three Mikes or Michaels in this world who are known to just about everybody.
Michael Jordan, Mike Tyson and Michael Jackson.
A new book written by Mike Tyson's long time friend and manager Rory Holloway called "Taming the Beast: The Untold Story of Mike Tyson" documents how two of these storied personalities once had something of a falling out.
Tyson allegedly once confronted Jordan over his former wife Robin Givens.
Holloway, in his book, talks about how when Tyson drank, "his real feelings come out …"
Apparently that's what happened.
While out to dinner, Mike Tyson, Michael Jordan, Mike Ditka, Richard Dent and Don King all sat at a table.
That's when it happened. Tyson allegedly confronted Jordan, "Mike stares across the table at Michael Jordan. He says, 'Hey man, you think I'm stupid? I know you f—-d with my b—h.'
According to the New York Post:
"Jordan, it's obvious he just wants to get up and run. He wants no part of this. Mike turns to Ditka. 'Man, you think somebody scared of you, all that racist s–t you been talking?' He says to Dent, 'Y'all scared of this damn white man, Richard? He ain't nobody. You gonna let him talk that way?'
Jordan apparently emerged unscathed, with both his ears intact.
Could you imagine being at this restaurant at that time? Now that's worth the price of admission.
