Hornets: Jordan challenged MKG to a game of 1 on 1. MKG accepted.

As for MKG, I like him. Gotta remember that he's a young 19 so his upside is still huge. He's on a bad team with limited playmakers yet he's still relatively efficient and productive at a really young age.

He's really similar to Kawhi Leonard; I'd say MKG has the higher ceiling because he's a much better athlete (Leonard really isn't that athletic ... he just looks the part, tbh). Leonard is the better shooter and has better perimeter skills, so his floor is higher.

But, yeah, Jordan finally got one right with MKG. I think he's going to be an All-Star. He's a bit underrated prospect-wise right now just because people aren't factoring in his youth enough. Reasonable per 40-minute averages in his peak = 18 points, 11 rebounds and three assists. At SF, that's pretty damn good.

And his skill set isn't one for being great on 1 on 1. Like Kawhi he thrives best in a team ball setting where he can play off of the established stars. Marion built up a career of being a great glue guy after all.

If the Bobcats had a shooting coach MKG will be great before his contract extension comes up.

Jordan is now drafting scrubs he can beat 1 on 1 to boost his ego as he gets older. Wilt supposedly beat Magic in a pick-up game once..

What a bunch of bull . MKG could have put Jordan on his ass if he wanted to. But the fact that he didn't means he ain't a real compe or. Jordan is a ing dumbass, letting his ego dictate everything he does. You are a GM now. You want your players to beat you. You want them to gain confidence. But no, what does this dumb do? He scares his players into losing.

Jordan may have been the best basketball player to ever live, but he is one of the biggest s to live also, and apparently has the Intelligent Quotient of my right nutsack.

Probably is gay also, but refuses to be a bottom even though he can't get it up. Its the ego.

This pretty much sums MJ up post-retirement. He is a miserable SOB in retirement. Anyone that saw his HOF Speech could easily see that. He spent 23 min acting like a schoolyard bully talking about anyone and everyone that ever slighted him on the way up or questioned his ability to stay on top. His contemporaries and friends like Barkley have found a great and enjoying second career for themselves in the media; MJ probably always thought he was above all that stuff so there he sits in his thousand dollar suits as an owner watching his ty team that he selected play all the while thinking “Why can’t I be young again”? “Maybe today is a good day to pick a fight or challenge one of the scrubs I drafted, since I am need of an ego boost”..

Can you imagine Kobe Bryant being any different at 50? Kind of sad, really.
