Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan Have Private Dinner at Beverly Hills Steakhouse

But who paid the tab?ย 

Thatโ€™s the only question I have about Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan enjoying a fine dinner at a Beverly Hills steakhouse on Wednesday nightย 

TMZ reports the two men dined together in a private room at Mastroโ€™s Steakhouse, but no one seems to know who picked up the tab.

Just trying to imagine the close-quarters combat that took place after this check is captivating. Youโ€™ve got two alpha male mega millionaires with all the reason in the world to try and swing authority on the other.

Hereโ€™s how I picture it going down:ย 

Jordan: โ€œNo dessert. I think weโ€™re ready for the check.โ€

Kobe: โ€œI got this one.โ€

Jordan: โ€œNaw, young man.โ€ [shoots napkin into bread basket] โ€œItโ€™s all me.โ€

Kobe: โ€œPlease, I insist. Yo!โ€ [claps hands] [hisses at waiter]. โ€œRight here.โ€

Jordan: [pushes off table] [grabs check as he falls backward] โ€œBOOM.โ€

Something of this nature occurred, and Iโ€™m leaning toward Jordan footing the bill.

TMZ also mentioned His Airness had lunch earlier in the day with Mark Wahlberg and was able to confirm that the actor paid the bill. The website writes that Wahlberg said he felt like he owed Jordan lunch.ย 

โ€œMark paid for that meal telling us itโ€™s the least he could do for Michael since Jordan always hooks him up with sick shoes,โ€ TMZ reports.ย 

This tidbit convinces me Jordan paid for dinner. Thereโ€™s no way His Airness allows two men to pay for his meals in the same day. Heโ€™s not built with the faculties to accept such charity.

The only other question left is: What did these two talk about?

My guess? The Lakers rebuild, the NBA Finals and the new โ€œNo Glass Bottlesโ€ rule at the members only Illuminati swimming pool.
