The most decorated Olympian, Michael Phelps, recently met his childhood idol, Michael Jordan. The two joined a talk-show on the sidelines of the Ryder Cup.
Michael Phelps and Michael Jordan finally met one another. One is known for flying through the air, and the other for flying through the water.
Michael Jordan was invited to become an honorary member of the U.S. Ryder Cup team. Phelps was also at the event participating in related activities. After retiring from swimming, Phelps has taken up golf, even employing Tiger Woods’ former swing coach Hank Haney.

You work for so many years and you’ve been through I guess so many workouts that you have to clear it. It’s like muscle memory. You just get up and race. I tried doing it in golf and actually recently it didn’t work out.
Well-known golf commentator David Feherty quipped that Michael Phelps may be the only golfer who isn’t afraid of water on the golf course.
美國游泳名將費爾普斯，其實從小就是一個籃球迷，同樣名為Michael，他的偶像自然也和全世界球迷一樣，正是籃球之神喬登。不過與眾不同的是，飛魚這回有機會和飛人相見歡，而即便都是大明星，費爾普斯面對偶像，第一時間還是興奮得說不出話來。
水陸兩大Michael相見歡，一位是飛人籃球之神喬登，一位是飛魚游泳名將費爾普斯。
其實是因為世界高壇盛事萊德盃，籃球之神獲邀成為美國隊的榮譽成員，而費爾普斯則會參加多項賽事期間的活動。而在比完倫敦奧運後退休的費爾普斯，轉行打高爾夫，成為老虎伍茲的前揮桿教練Hank Haney，成為旗下門生。

“你要努力很多年 不斷的訓練，然後你必須展現出成果，就好像是一個肌肉記憶，所以你就是起床然後比賽，我試著像這樣練習高爾夫，其實最近感覺還是成效不彰”
知名球評David Feherty 還打趣說，飛魚可能是唯一一位，不會視水池為障礙的高球選手。
