Michael Jordan dominates trash-talking O.J. Mayo in high school

Posted Oct 3, 2013
O.J. Mayo is willing to admit it: When he was one of the most sought-after high school players in the country, he made the mistake of talking trash to Michael Jordan at the Bulls legend’s summer camp, and the Greatest Of All Time made him eat his words. “Better scream for mama,” Mayo remembers Jordan telling him, as the Hall of Famer proceeded to knock down turnaround jumpers in his face.
