Chris Paul bets MJ that if he misses a shot then the whole camp receives free Jordans. MJ took it personally (2016).

    nba cj would have a field day with this

  2. Real-Human-1985

    An NBA level player could make open shots like this until they’re 90 years old.

    Chris’ first mistake was making a bet with MJ…

  4. themindmoney24

    Them kids like o that’s MJ one day I’ll be on his level they look around 7 or so😒

    MJ makes sure the kids stay barefooted, LeBron makes sure the kids get terrible test grades. Shoe-less vs. School-less, whose y’all GOAT?😤💯

  6. IgnorantGenius

    MJ should have reversed the bet. If he makes them all, the kids go to china and make him some shoes.

    He fell victim to one of the classic blunders—never start a land war in Asia, never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line—never make a bet with MJ.

  8. The kids were Republicans

    Edit: This was simply a reference to his famous quote “Republicans buy sneakers too”

    Is this “International Jordan Taking Shit Personal” day?

    He really was cold blooded like that, and a bit of a gambling addict…

    Reminds me of that German goalkeeper Oliver Kahn, who attended a 9-year old football camp where money was donated to charity if they scored on him. Fuck that he said and saved every single penalty and told the kids to get good.

    I went to one of his camps as a kid. He did this a few times. Eventually he “lost” and we all got shoes. Happened every yr

    MJ with the Bernie Mack voice: Fuck them kids!

  14. etudes_JW

    Went to NC team camp and Jordan did the same thing. Savage.

    The story you’re referring to is a popular anecdote from the 2016 NBA All-Star weekend. Chris Paul, known for his confidence and competitive spirit, made a bet with Michael Jordan, the legendary basketball icon and owner of the Charlotte Hornets.

    According to the story, Chris Paul bet Michael Jordan that if Jordan missed a shot during a casual shooting session, he would provide free Jordans to everyone at the camp. Jordan, known for his fierce competitiveness, took the bet seriously and was determined not to miss. The pressure was high, and the story is often recounted to highlight Jordan’s legendary work ethic and drive.

    It’s a fun anecdote that illustrates the high stakes and competitive nature of professional athletes, even in casual settings. Jordan’s response underscores his intense focus and pride in his shooting skills, and it’s a testament to the high level of competition and camaraderie in the world of professional sports.

    I mean… it’s not like those are difficult shots for someone who used to play professionally… but MJ’s spirit is indelible.

  18. Back in 1998 I was in the PX at a base in Okinawa..I jumped on a PlayStation display and there was a kid that tried to challenge me on Tekken.

    He thought I was gonna take it easy on him cause he only had like 6 fingers, but I WHOOOPED.THAT.ASS!

    There are times I reflect on that moment and think, “Man, I was an asshole”…..until I saw this.

    I was like Mike all along!

    If these kids are at an MJ camp they all probably have parents ready to buy them as many Jordans as they want.

    Damn bro even gave him an excuse by covering his eyes lol

  21. Pimpwerx

    Jordan is the cheapest mfer around. No way he was missing a shot.

    “I didn’t get rich from either missing shots or giving away free Jordans.”
