“It’s Not Like he Was Shaq Height”- Former LA Lakers Player Dismisses Michael Jordan Hype

For Isaiah Thomas, scoring past the legendary Michael Jordan does not seem to be the toughest of tasks- at least when he has to score only one basket.
The PR team of Chicago Bulls wanted to post a Michael Jordan challenge. Through a tweet, they asked whether anyone would accept a one-on-one challenge to score against Jordan for a huge sum of money. However, should they lose, they must not listen to music for the rest of their lives.
Scoring once did not seem to be a big problem for Thomas. “For sure, I’m scoring once,” he tweeted.

You’re offered $5 million to score against Michael Jordan 1-on-1. You’re given 10 chances. This is prime MJ.
If you fail, you won’t be able to hear music ever again.

After his reply circulated on Twitter, he had more to add. He tweeted once more, reiterating that scoring one basket wasn’t too hard. To prove his point, he wrote: “It’s not like he was Shaq height and as fast as me at the same time.”
