Jordan vs. Russell 2

The owner of the Utah Jazz’s NBA Development League team wants to see Michael Jordan go 1-on-1 against Bryon Russell one more time. Brandt Andersen is offering a $100,000 donation to the charity of the winner’s choice if he can get Jordan and Russell to play a game of 21. Jordan’s jumper over Russell in Game 6 of the 1998 NBA Finals gave the Chicago Bulls a 4-2 series win over Utah. Jazz fans still insist Jordan pushed off Russell. During Jordan’s Hall of Fame speech, he said he was motivated by Russell’s trash talk toward him during his first retirement. Andersen suggests the pair face off during halftime of the Utah Flash’s home opener.
