NBA Legend Michael Jordan was banned from Miami’s elite La Gorce country club over one shocking reason

Ever wonder what happens when an NBA superstar goes against the norm? Michael Jordan found out in 2012 when he was banned from La Gorce Country Club in Miami for wearing cargo shorts. During a game, he was asked to change his shorts, but he wouldn’t budge, resulting in his removal from the course. Even though he had shown up in similar gear before, the club took a hard line, sticking to their rules and making an example out of the basketball great.

In November 2012 Michael Jordan approached La Gorce Country Club in Miami despite his popularity from winning six NBA championships with Chicago Bulls. The members must follow both the strict dress code and the exclusive entry criteria. Jordan appeared at the country club wearing cargo shorts which failed to meet their established dress code requirements.

During his game, Jordan was approached by club officials at the 12th hole, who pointed out that he was violating the dress code and asked him to change into appropriate clothing.

He was surprised by this sudden enforcement, especially since he had worn similar shorts before without any problems. Jordan opted not to interrupt his game to change, which ultimately resulted in him being expelled from the course and permanently banned from the club.
After the situation at La Gorce Country Club, Michael Jordan shared his surprise and annoyance. He mentioned that in all his past visits, no one had ever commented on his clothing, saying, "I've been there many times and no one told me a thing." When someone brought up his cargo shorts while he was on the 11th hole, he thought it was a bit ridiculous: "The round is almost over and you want me to buy shorts now? Yeah, right!!" As for rumors about a possible ban, Jordan took it in stride, saying, "No problem!!"
Jordan's rep mentioned that he had worn cargo pants on past visits without any issues. When he found out about the dress code violation during the game, he opted not to pause his round to change, which led the club to decide to keep him from returning. The rep summed it up by saying, "I guess it's their loss—as MJ is a great golfer, and a great guest."
