LEHI, Utah (AP)—The owner of the Utah Jazz’s NBA Development League team wants to see Michael Jordan go 1-on-1 against Bryon Russell one more time.
Brandt Andersen is offering a $100,000 donation to the charity of the winner’s choice if he can get Jordan and Russell to play a game of 21.
Jordan’s jumper over Russell in Game 6 of the 1998 NBA finals gave the Chicago Bulls a 4-2 series win over Utah. Jazz fans still insist Jordan pushed off Russell.
During Jordan’s Hall of Fame speech, he said he was motivated by Russell’s trash talk toward him during his first retirement.
Andersen says he has spoken to Russell and left a message for Jordan through a mutual friend. Andersen’s suggestion: Jordan vs. Russell during halftime of the Utah Flash’s home opener.
Whats the Real Deal?
So at first I'm all amped about this deal cuase it would be good to clear the air and for charity. But as I was thinking; this is nothing but a ploy for the Flash's owner to cash out!! Sure he is giving $100k to charity but how much is he making in door and concession. It was a great idea, but MJ has the ring and is already in the Hall of Fame. What the hell is Brian Russell doing? Working at Foot Locker? On behalf of Jordan fans we decline "dick face"!!!!!!
