NEVA LOST.
Of course, I doubt Michael Jordan would entertain this, but you never know.
One thing we do know is if it happened people would watch, a lot of people. LaVar is trying to speak it into existence.
LaVar, quiet no longer, is accepting congratulations and telling the room, “Tell MJ: Here we come! Tell MJ we’re coming!” LaVar punctuates his proclamations by raising both arms in the air. Michael Jordan, the man LaVar famously claimed he could beat in a one-on-one, is the owner of the Hornets and now his son’s boss. LaVar tells me the world might finally get to see that one-on-one, but first he has to discuss the business side with Jordan: pay-per-view, guaranteed money, that kind of thing. He laughs and says, “Hey, if people are willing to pay to see 50-year-old Mike Tyson fight, why not?” He likes the idea of Jordan guiding his son. “Greatness recognizes greatness,” he says. “I always told my boys, ‘Someone has to be better than the best — why not you?'”
The facts whether you love him or hate him, getting two boys drafted into the Top 3 of the NBA is quite an accomplishment.
No shade to LiAngelo.
