Michael Jordan is arguably known as the greatest player in NBA history. He’s also revered as being one of the best one-on-one players who’s ever lived.
Even in old age, apparently Jordan’s one-on-one game didn’t diminish. It’s been said that MJ used to battle his own players from the Charlotte Bobcats in one-on-one games, and according to Raymond Felton, Jordan proved why he’s the GOAT.

“MJ as an owner is just how he is as a player,” Felton said in an interview on Podcast P with Paul George. “He was super competitive, he hated to lose, and he came to the locker room many times and told us how he felt about how we were playing.
“The one moment I’mma take from that was it was me, him, Jeff McInnis, Gerald Wallace, and I want to say [Jason Richardson].
“J-Rich might not have been there, but I know it was me, Gerald, and Jeff McInnis,” Felton continued. “We played one-on-one against MJ. When I tell you he was frying us… Man, he was frying us, bro, and was talking crazy to us too.”
George eventually pressed the issue, stating Jordan had to have lost at least once. Felton quickly shut down George’s statement.
“We were scoring on him, but he won the games,” Felton said.
Michael Jordan truly was a one-of-a-kind type of player. His legend only continues to grow as players tell stories about his greatness.
With Jordan returning to the NBA with NBC, it’ll be interesting to see his take on the game today. Maybe, we’ll also get to hear more stories from the man himself.
