Phil Ivey and Michael Jordan good friends?

[Python49]

Friend of mine who is somewhat connected told me that Phil Ivey and Michael Jordan are good friends and have been seen together on many instances out in Vegas having dinner together. Also that Ivey, Barkley (obv), and tiger woods are all good friends. Obviously Barkley and Jordan are but Ivey and Jordan? Any truth to this?

If so, how did they become friends... Jordan is from North Carolina and Ivey from Jersey. Discuss.

(If this is old news then delete/lock but this is my first time hearing about this.)

They are both huge gamblers?

Well if one person is from North Carolina and the other from Jersey, they obviously can't be friends, right?

I mean, it's not like these guys have the money to go anywhere else...

Ivey is a high stakes advantage gambler. Jordan and Barkley are high stakes -ev degen gamblers. I can't imagine why Ivey would be friends with them.
