Video: CEO John Rogers beats Jordan one-on-one, circa 2003
By J.E. Skeets
Back in February, SI's Chris Ballard wrote a story about a post-Wizards era Michael Jordan that received a bit of attention. As the story went, some mutual fund CEO named John Rogers Jr. had beaten Jordan in a game of one-on-one at the legend's high-end "Flight School" camp in Las Vegas. According to Ballard, there were one-handed runners and flip-shots and even Damon Wayans. It was quite the tale. And today, thanks to The Wall Street Journal, we finally have video footage.
That lefty lay-in at the end to win it was impressive. Nice English, John.
I don't think Jordan was playing very hard but it is cool anyway. That guy will have a story to tell the rest of his life.
