Bismack Biyombo recalls how owner Michael Jordan would beat Charlotte Hornets players one-on-one

Posted Jan 28, 2023
"Mike is Mike, man. I’ve seen him play one-on-one with players after the games, and one by one was taking them out. So this was probably I think seven, eight years ago," former Hornet Bismack Biyombo said. "He would come into practice and just play one-on-one with players and just kill them, 100 percent. I (didn't) think he could move like that." (USA Today)
