Michael Jordan Doesn’t Twerk [VIDEO], Schools Trash-Talking High School Baller In His Camp--OJ Mayo Confirms Incident

In an interview sponsored by NBA 2K14, Michael Jordan reveals that he doesn’t twerk, will probably beat everyone except for Kobe. Meanwhile, rising NBA superstar OJ Mayo confirms the Jordan camp incident.


Highlights of the interview: “I'm not a twitterer, I'm not a twerker, I'm ot a Facebooker, I'm very old school. What is twerking, by the way?"


The OJ Mayo incident happened in his camp in 2005, when His Airness was over 40 and Mayo was the top high school player in the nation at age 17. Jordan summed it up: “And from that point on, it was a lesson. He never won a game, I posted him up, I did everything. If I can ever show you that film or you can ask him that, ask him about the thing that happened at my camp. I don’t consider that trash [talk], I consider that fact. You call it trash.”

 In the meantime, we have OJ Mayo who confirms that the incident really happened. In an interview with Bucks.com, OJ relates: “Well, I happened to be the only high school player there. It was mainly freshmen in college. [Jordan] came on the court, he guarded me, so instantly I was like, man, he must think I’m not the strong link over here. I got it going a little bit.


“Obviously it’s any ballplayer’s dream to play against Mike. I couldn’t tell you how many times I did his move after the Finals, the next day at the rec center and stuff. I got a few buckets. The campers knew I was the only high school kid so they got rowdy a little bit, we got a little bit of jawing. We played two games, I think we split one and one, it was a team game.


“Then he said, ‘OK, now let me handle my business.’ He looked me in my face and said that. I’m like, ‘What you mean?’ So he said, ‘I need all the campers and everybody to leave the gym.’


“We continued playing pick-up. Mike was Mike. He was jawing a little bit, really getting into me defensively. He’s backing me down. He said, ‘Better scream for mama. Mama. Mama.’ Hit the famous fadeaway on me. I said, ‘OK, OK, you’ve got it going.’
“He said, ‘OK, young fella, let me tell you something. You may be the best high school player in the world, but I’m the greatest ever. Don’t you ever disrespect the great like that.’


“At the end of the day, people ask, ‘Why would you talk smack to GOAT? Why would you talk smack to Mike? At the end of the day, it’s still basketball. You definitely respect everything Mike’s done for the game. But when you’re a young buck and you get a chance to go at the top, I kind of had the mentality that I had everything to gain and nothing to lose. Mike did what he had to do.”
