Duke commit Matt Jones thinks he'd beat Michael Jordan in his prime
Posted Apr 10, 2013
In advance of Saturday's Jordan Brand Classic (8 p.m., ET, ESPN2) at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, we asked eight JBC All Americans how they would fare in a one-on-one matchup against six-time NBA champion Michael Jordan in his prime. Duke commit Matt Jones: "Well, I’m feeling a little generous today, so I think he’d get his five points...It’s gonna be a long grind-it-out win. But I’d win."
