Some Jerk Will Pay MJ's Charity $100,000 If He Plays 21

LEHI, Utah -- 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.

Listen, Brandt. Or Brand. Or Brad. Or jerk off. You want the greatest off all time to play a game of 21 against a guy who is only famous for playing piss poor defense? And during halftime of a D-league game? Not even a NBA game. This isn't some kid with down syndrome living out his dream. This is MJ. Air Jordan. His Airness. I'll be damned if I see my favorite athlete and childhood hero have to sink to that level to make some piece of shit owner pleased. I'd like to get a couple clean shots at every coach I've ever had but you won't find me walking into the gym during a mills game to throw some punches. And it also clear that Bryon Russell needs money. That game 6 was really all he had in life. I mean I wasn't sure if his name was Bryon or Byron until I wrote this story. I guess that's a price you pay when your sad mug has been on my wall for the past 10 years as MJ stabs every Jazz fan in the heart.
