i heard this story once in chicago about michael jordan's flight camp. supposedly, at the end of the camp, they'd have a 1 on 1 playoff until they determined the best player.. who then got to play 1 on 1 with mike.


supposedly, in the entire history of the camp, not only did nobody every beat him, but no player ever scored a single point against mike.


which.. at first when i heard it, i thought it was kinda mean of mike (since i guess they were kids) but then again.. when you (or your folks) drop a couple Gs for the chance for you to learn from the GOAT, i guess what you paid for and what you got was the full experience.
I could have swore that Michael Finley BEAT Jordan at camp a long time ago.

Can someone help me out?

That's true Ska. Jerry Stackhouse has also claimed to have owned Jordan at UNC-warm ups back in the day.



�Cue the "Stackhouse" game

id give jerry sloan 50.

also, id pat wade on the back before the game then blow by him as he sat in the resulting wheelchair.
 
I can mentally kill Kwame right now...even a foot shorter. Lakers have walk-on tryouts?....where do I sign up...if Smush can do it...anyone can.
 
yeah, i'd catch them off guard and shoot the 3 right after check ball.

no dribble, nothing.
 
NBA players are better than you think.
The difference between their speed and your speed is pretty significant.
I think even no-hands, no-skills Kwame Brown would kill anyone on here. Myself included.
But..... if you get physical, and touch his face on a dunk attempt you might score.

it's not like he blocks shots or has any post moves to begin with.

Im wondering if you really believe this......
 
these guys were all dominant as hell at one stage during their career. the only time i think i would score is if i launched a lucky shot. their reaction timewould be rediculous.

What that poster was getting at, was, at Jordan's flight camp (kids + teenagers) they had a 1 on 1 playoff system amongst themselves.

The winner of THAT went on to face Jordan 1 on 1.

..in which nobody has ever scored, in the history of the camp.

But then again, that IS MJ we're talking about

As for the question, honestly, it'll be tough if they're playing for real.

You could try to take somebody 'slow' off the dribble, but he can just sit back and bait you to take the J.

And with an NBA players reach, that might get sent packing.

yeah but you would have to make that first shot,because if u dont,they're gonna check ball alot tighter to prevent that..

and i doubt you'll beat em off the dribble
 
nba players are really good.
they have to be the very best to be in the league
but some players can be slow and not as quick
ie post players
so maybe i could score 1 on a slow post
 
My boy has said for like the last 6 years he could beat Eric Snow 1 on 1.

I know if there was a 1 on 1 game I could score on Tyron Lue and Mark Blount

. I think Tayshaun and Durant would be next to impossible for me to score on and I have played against and scored on some real good D1 players andsemi-pro players.

My next store neighbor growing up, Chris Crawford played for the Hawks for like 6-7 years and when he was in college and came back home my dad would get itin with him and really compete.
