Michael Jordan is a man of many talents.

The basketball player, turned baseball player, turned golfer donned casual golfing attire Friday at the Derek Jeter Celebrity Invitation in Las Vegas. In typical Jordan fashion, he was smoking a cigar right on the green.

When it came time for the sports star to tee off, he didn't hand off his cigar to his bag boy like some kind of wimp, Jordan just bit down on that sucker and took his swing like it was nothing.

It's not uncommon for Jordan to hit the green with a cigar in his mouth. In fact, sometimes the champ prefers two cigars at the same time.

Here he is in 2008, pulling the exact same move during the American Century Championship in Stateline, Nevada.
