D-League owner sets stakes for 1-on-1

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.


Jordan spent much of his enshrinement speech at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame singling out players and coaches who had slighted, criticized or motivated him. Russell merited a special mention. This is what Russell had to say:

    "I'll play his ass right now," Russell told Yahoo! Sports. "This is a call-out for him to come play me. He can come out here in his private jet and come play. He's got millions of dollars. He can pay for the jet. He can meet me at the Recreation Center in Calabasas. We can have Mark Jackson do the commentating. We can have Mitch Richmond do the officiating. We can put it on TV and see if Michael's still got it."

[Halu Sination]

^ Yeah in all seriousness, I'm pretty sure Jordan would (and most likely will) look at the 100k offer and be like "uh fuck that, I'll just donate 100k of my own to charity"

That would be foolish on MJ's part to participate. He's got nothing to prove. This can only hurt him.

True, but I'd like to see it go down.

what has he got to prove? maybe his manhood...he was challenged.

This would be funny, but Jordan won't do it. Ask any NBA superstar to play with another NBA superstar, noone will do it. Russel is down obviously, because he's not a former superstar.

["THE" MoSav]

what a clown, calling out a dude when ur 45 LOL...What a bitter chump, i guess id be 2 if i got posterized to lose a championship..

[thisoneguy360]

Why is he bitter just because he wants to play him? They played together on the Wizards and he'd always single him out and try to challlenge him, that's what MJ does. And I wouldn't call pushing a guy then making a shot posterizing someone.
