So here is the story behind this video. Jordan had retired, and the Bulls used their 1998 first round draft pick on Corey Benjamin... a 6-6 guard who was very confident in his game. On a road trip in the 1999-2000 season, Benjamin bragged that hes glad Jordan had retired, because he would have beat him one on one. MJ heard this, and showed up at the Bulls practice facility a few days later. After Bulls practice, Jordan points to Benjamin and said "you, come here now".
They indeed play one on one, three games. Jordan won 10-3, 10-1, and 10-1. It was an absolute embarasment, as you'll see in the video. Bulls teammates Elton Brand, Ron Artest, Hersey Hawkins, and others just watched in awe. At one point he says "look around you"... referencing the 6 championship banners in the practice facility.
Jordan hadnt touched a basketball in months. The interview after is very telling (aka BS because he claims he wont come back to the NBA)
Can anyone identify the shoes in the video? There is a clear shot around the 1:45 mark. It seems like an XIV mixed with the Quick 6 (Eddie Jones)
