Will Michael play Byron?

Background: Michael Jordan was recently inducted into the NBA Hall of fame. I've seen some reporters/bloggers critizing him for his speech. Reguardless of their or anybody's elses opinon its hard to argue that MJ is not one of the top 3, if not the greatest players of all time. One of the reasons he was critized was for being to negative.

Jordan spent much of his enshrinement speech at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame singling out players and coaches who had slighted, criticized or motivated him. Russell merited a special mention.

To make a long story short Byron Russell told MJ to bring it on. So will MJ take him up on his challenge? This is NOT asking who will win, just whether they play a one on one game againest each other. You can read the full story on the link below.

i can't believe MJ hasn't taken him up on the challenge.

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.

Bryon Russell thinks he’s lined up enough cash and TV interest to lure Michael Jordan into a one-on-one exhibition.

“I am hoping it can get done because everybody wants to see it,” Russell said to Yahoo! Sports. “I wasn’t the one that called me out. I’m just returning the favor. I think people will fall in love with it to see M.J. and Bryon going at it again.

“I just need him to see what I got. And I guarantee you he will fall in love with what I got. It could be a very lucrative event for him that could put a smile on his face even after he loses.”
