A five-year-old quote from Charlotte Hornets owner Michael Jordan turned into a challenge from one of his own players on Saturday, as Hornets forward Miles Bridges indicated he would be very interested in a 1-on-1 matchup against the NBA legend.
The fun started when a quote from a 2015 Jordan interview with French newspaper L'Équipe was tweeted out on Friday, with Jordan saying he was pretty sure he could beat Hornets players in a game of 1-on-1. Jordan was 52 at the time, and saying he could beat active NBA players.
Then Bridges stepped in.
