I wasn't at the Hall of Fame to see the acceptance speech by Michael Jordan but I was watching. I also wasn't at the 1998 finals when Jordan hit that shot over Bryon Russell with 5.2 seconds, but I have seen it about a hundred times on NBA promos.
One thing I can tell you is that I want to be front and center for whatever the outcome is when the two meet up next.
So here is my offer: Michael Jordan vs. Bryon Russell-1 on 1 challenge to 21. I will personally donate $100,000 to charity in the name of the winner. We can do it during the half time of the Utah Flash home opener on December 7th. $100,000 in cash for a 15 minute pickup game. MJ even you can’t say no to that.
Our venue is the perfect place for this challenge because it brings BRuss back to Utah and Michael Jordan has a home just outside of Park City (I have seen his Carolina Blue Jump Man plane on the runway at Million Air in SLC) so it is convenient for both guys. Not to mention that it would be sacrilegious to have this take place anywhere outside of Utah.
I have already called BRuss directly and spoken to him about the event. I have also sent a message through a mutual friend to MJ to invite him. He is going to be a little more difficult to convince but not impossible. This would be a good PR move for him following his speech. Back up those words that anytime you see BRuss with his shorts on you are “coming at him”. Think about the benefits for the two of them. BRuss wants some vindication and MJ puts that fire we have always seen to the test by lacing them up one more time in a casual ‘all for charity’ event.
The match up between these guys created one of the greatest moments in basketball history and was memorialized at Michael's Hall of Fame Induction Speech. Let's lace them up just one more time.

I thought about signing a deal with the flash but after this there is no chance. I got to be in stands watching mike be mike.
pretty happy i renewed my season tickets already!
I would SO be there. if this happens, I will advertise my butt off to get the word out. that'd be so awesome!
hahahahahah NOWAY that Michael Jordan, the God of basketball will ever play a game of 21 in provo utah for ANY amount of money. Good luck with that
Brilliant idea!!
I think he should inject himself with H1N1 before the match-up to recreate that magical night he had the flu in Utah.
I AM THERE!!!!!!!
YALL KNOW IM IN. JORDAN NEED TO MAN UP AND PUT HIS SHORTS ON.
Sounds like fun!
Whatever, BRUSS is a joke. I took him in a pickup game in my own backyard.... MJ could be on his death bed and still beat this joker.... LOSER!!!!
If u dont believe it, as Howard Eisley... he witnessed it... Guess BRUSS should not try to be a rapper huh
I was at the game tonight and thought the execution of this "matchup" was very dismal to say the least. When fans started throwing shirts back on the floor and booing, I felt a little awkward for you, Brandt. I then realized it probably backfired when about 1/3 of the fans left. I'm a little disappointed with the whole thing. It would have been better to do nothing than what you did.
you did this to get your ticket sales up. You should have been upfront with the fans, but no you play it as if he was there. I will never go to a flash game again.
