LaVar Ball could beat Michael Jordan?!
The father of UCLA's Lonzo Ball stated in an interview with Josh Peter of USA TODAY Sports that:
"Back in my heyday, I would kill Michael Jordan 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."
