One superstar to another, Jordan and Tiger just talk

SAN FRANCISCO: Michael Jordan will give world No 1 Tiger Woods his own space this week at the Presidents Cup golf matches, but the 14-time major champion has been able to rely upon his pal Jordan when needed.

Jordan will serve as a US team assistant when the Americans face the Internationals in the latest edition of the biennial team matches.

"We're like big brother-little brother. I'm the big brother," Jordan said. "I don't crowd him. I keep my distance because at certain times a little brother's got to learn how to survive.
