MJ: LaVar Ball couldn't 'beat me if I was 1-legged'
LaVar Ball hasn't shied away from boasting about how he could've beaten the legendary Michael Jordan one-on-one during his heyday.
Well, it's safe to assume Jordan wouldn't have backed down from the challenge at the peak of his career because he's not backing down now at the age of 54, His Airness doesn't think he'd have much trouble handling the head of the Big Baller brand on the hardwood.
"It doesn't deserve a response, but I'ma give it to you because you asked the question," said Jordan at his recent Flight School event.
"I don't think (LaVar) could beat me if I was one-legged."
Jordan also took a shot at the fact that Ball only averaged 2.2 points in college during his lone season at Washington State.
As has been well documented, Jordan is a six-time NBA champion, five-time league MVP, and 14-time All-Star who averaged 30.1 points over 13 seasons with the Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards.
Advantage to the GOAT, one-legged or not.
