"Back in my heyday, I would kill Michael Jordan one-on-one," Ball said Monday, per Josh Peter of USA Today.
The father of UCLA star Lonzo Ball and Chino Hills High School players LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball believes he would have used his size at 6'6", 270 pounds to his advantage.
"I would just back (Jordan) in and lift him off the ground and call a foul every time he fouls me when I do a jump hook to the right or the left," Ball said. "He cannot stop me one-on-one. He better make every shot ’cause he can't go around me. He's not fast enough. And he can only make so many shots outside before I make every bucket under the rim."
Yeah, he's promoting his sons and looking for attention. I get it. Doesn't mean he shouldn't be called out for his stupidity and tiresome bragging, though. I have to admit, part of me hopes all his kids are massive busts, just to see what kind of verbal and mental gymnastics he'd perform to try and save face.
