While Michael Jordan is enjoying the massive success of ‘The Last Dance,’ Chris Paul shared an anecdote and narrated the consequence he faced from challenging the legend himself. 

Paul, who plays for the Oklahoma City Thunder, recently spoke to Bleacher Report’s Sage Steele. He could not refrain from bringing up an incident that gave him a taste of MJ’s notorious competitiveness.

When Michael Jordan showed CP3 what he had been doing in the NBA in the 90s

Paul’s memory vividly remembers the incident and dug out the information of it. He and Jordan were gracing a basketball camp in Santa Barbara, where there was a huge bunch of kids waiting to see him shoot the hoops. 

At one point, CP3 challenged ‘His Airness’ to keep shooting back-to-back baskets. He promised the kids that if Jordan missed three shots, all of them would get free Air Jordan shoes. A direct challenge put in the face of the Jumpman.

To everybody’s jaw-dropping reaction, MJ converted every single shot into the basket. He shot 100% if you feel like talking the slang. CP3 even tried to block his view in the last shot and yet failed to disturb the flow of Jordan. The kids certainly had a disappointing end to the camp.

Speaking to BR, Paul said, “We were in Santa Barbara and he damn made them shots and they just said to hell with the kids, man. So forget him man. He wrong for that.”

It can be said that the GOAT made a small demonstration to the kids showing them how it’s done, while on the other hand, who doesn’t want free Jordans? Yep, no one is against receiving free sneakers that bear the logo and the name of the man himself. However, the young guns received a taste of how competitive MJ can get. Even it is something small as a challenge at basketball camp, he is not one to give in.
