According to Master P, Michael Jordan was on the verge of calling the cops on him. Why? Because apparently, Master P, Gilbert Arenas, and Ron Artest defeated him at his own camp. Michael Jordan’s competitive spirit is one of the many things that make him stand out from other NBA players. Moreover, there aren’t many stories about Michael Jordan losing at something. But when he does, he always comes back with a vengeance.
Master P appeared on ‘No Chill with Gilbert Arenas,’ and recalled a bizarre story from Michael Jordan’s sports camp. At Michael Jordan’s camp in 1999, Master P revealed that he teamed up with Gilbert and Ron Artest to beat the G.O.A.T Jordan.

What made this game special was that they played versus Michael Jordan and two unknown guys. The trio, according to the artist, caught the six-time champion on an off night. Consequently, they allegedly defeated him in that game.
“Everybody was scared of J at the time, we know he’s the best dude in the world. We got on the court and I told them, ‘look man, let’s just go beat these old dudes.’ Jordan was like, ‘man, you, you a rapper.’ I said, ‘no bro, I’m in the pros and I’m ready.’”

Percy “Master P” Miller was on the verge of breaking into the NBA. The rapper even tried out for the Hornets once the 1998-99 lockout ended, as well as the Raptors the following season. Unfortunately, he only made a few preseason appearances.

It is bizarre to imagine that the rap sensation could have made it to the NBA. He allegedly even had the required skills to get in, but only failed due to politics. However, most of all, P was brave on the court, ready to take on anyone. For him to beat Michael at his own turf, that’s saying something about him.
