Michael Jordan To Lavar Ball: He couldn’t beat me if I had one leg!

Michael Jordan Reacts to Lavar Ball

Michael Jordan is FINALLY responding to LaVar Ball questioning his basketball skills. Months after Ball, the father of Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball, stated that he “would kill” Jordan “back in my heyday,” the Hall of Famer finally addresses his comments. While doing his Flight School basketball camp, Jordan stated:

You got to understand the source. I think he played college, maybe? He averaged 2.2 points a game. Really? It doesn’t deserve a response, but I’m [going to] give it to you because you asked the question. I don’t think he could beat me if I was one-legged.

Back in March, Ball stated,

I would just back [Jordan] in and lift him off the ground and call a foul every time he fouls me when I do a jump hook to the right or the left,” Ball told USA Today Sports as to how he’d beat Jordan. “He cannot stop me one-on-one. He better make every shot ’cause he can’t go around me. He’s not fast enough. And he can only make so many shots outside before I make every bucket under the rim.

On Tuesday, Ball responded to Jordan’s comments, stating:

Look at everybody, man. Everybody used to say, ‘You know, I think Wilt Chamberlain is better than Shaq; I think Oscar Robertson is better than LeBron.’ Now the story is LaVar is better than Michael Jordan. C’mon, I didn’t even play basketball in the pros and they’re talking about me and Michael Jordan. That’s what I’m talking about. He tells me he can beat me with one leg. Well, guess what: I can beat him with one hand. Now we both look like we out there like we can’t play.

His Big Baller Brand also chimed in:

?Michael, you vs Lavar | 1 v 1 | you with 1 leg, Lavar with 1 arm. Has to be on Pay-Per-View. Let’s make it happen. YOU WON’T. ?

Ball averaged 2.2 points and 2.3 rebounds a game in the 1987-88 season at Washington State before he transferred to a smaller school seeking more playing time. That same season, Jordan averaged an NBA-leading 35 points for the Chicago Bulls.
