Lot Description
A 1988 Michael Jordan, Mike Tyson, Walter Payton, Richard Dent and Don King Signed Lino's Ristorante Dinner Menu (Beckett LOA),
acquired in person by the present owner from a December 13th dinner celebrating Dent's 28th birthday, wherein, according to Tyson's co-manager, Rory Holloway, also in attendance, in a recent memoir, Mike Tyson confronted and publicly threatened Michael Jordan over his past relationship with soon-to-be ex-wife Robin Givens.

Holloway claims: “Mike Tyson’s sitting there with his drink of choice, a Long Island Tea, and when he drinks his real feelings come out." He goes onto say, “I’m telling the server to water his drinks down ‘cause I see where this is going. Mike stares across the table at Michael Jordan. He says, ‘Hey man, you think I’m stupid?'. Holloway describes the expletives that followed: “It was a circus, for real, that night. Don King trying to change the subject. Me and John trying to hold Mike down. Mike telling everyone he’s going to bust Jordan’s ... Jordan’s dressed sharp as always and he can’t get out of there fast enough.”
