Actor Anthony Anderson: MJ ignored me for 3 days after losing dominoes

"Black-ish" star Anthony Anderson discovered just how competitive Michael Jordan is after beating him in a game of dominoes.

Anderson shared the story on the latest episode of the "Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend" podcast, recounting how he challenged Jordan to dominoes after meeting the NBA legend during a trip to the Bahamas years ago.

"(Jordan) turned to my wife and he said, 'Sweetheart, I suggest you go to the bank and take out as much money as you can because after I whip his ass, he will not be able to provide for you and your children,'" Anderson recalled around the 37-minute mark of the podcast. "I just wanted a friendly game of bones with my basketball hero."

Anderson said Jordan continued to talk trash while he stayed quiet, but that changed once the game turned in his favor.

"I commenced to whip his ass in dominoes," Anderson said. "Conan, he doesn't score another point. I'm talking so much trash that before I domino, I say, 'Oh my God.' I said, 'MJ, I wish me and my wife could go upstairs and make another baby right now because we would name him or her MJ just so we could relive this moment right now, and my baby would get older and say, 'Daddy, why did you name me MJ?' and I could relive the moment that I just whipped your ass."

Jordan didn't handle the loss too well and gave Anderson the cold shoulder for several days.

"Conan, we are on an island together for the next three days. He can't go anywhere, I can't go anywhere. He refuses to talk to me for the next three days," Anderson said. "Whenever we're taking a group photo or a picture, he asks - no, I take that back, he doesn't ask - he tells me to get out of the picture. Nobody would know who I was anyway.

"So that's how he treated me for the next three days. And that's how our friendship started."
