Donald celebrates birthday with MJ, Hornets game

Luke Donald has friends in high places, so high, in fact, that one of them goes by the nickname, "His Airness."

Donald's friendship with Michael Jordan has been well-documented, so it wasn't a shock when he posted the following photo to Instagram earlier this week, showing the two buddies celebrating the Englishman's 37th birthday.

And we got a good idea what MJ gave Donald for his birthday when he posted a photo the next day sitting courtside as Jordan's Charlotte Hornets took on the Miami Heat. Guess knowing the owner of an NBA franchise has its perks, who knew?
