BRYON RUSSELL CHALLENGES MJ TO A GAME OF ONE-ON-ONE

You may remember MJ's famous last shot on Bryon Russel of the Jazz in 1998. Well he's once again in the news, Bryon Russell took it as a compliment that Michael Jordan called him out during his Hall of Fame acceptance speech and Russell responded on today with a direct challenge. He wants to play MJ in a game of one-on-one.

"Mike, if you want this, come get it," Russell said on the "Waddle & Silvy" show on ESPN 1000. "I'm out here in Calabasas (Calif.). You have the private jet, come on and fly out here. "The second game can take place in Chicago. I'll fly out there. Let's make a nice, little challenge, have some fun with it and entertain once again."

During Jordan's speech on Friday, he said Russell told him in 1994 that he wanted to guard Jordan. During the 1998 NBA Finals, when Jordan's Chicago Bulls faced Russell's Utah Jazz, Jordan reminded Russell of his wish and said it was about to be realized. Russell was the defender Jordan shook before rising to take the clinching shot in Game 6.
