LeBron Told The Story Of Playing In A Pickup Game With Michael Jordan In High School

The Last Dance has thrust Michael Jordan back into the spotlight, 22 years after his final season with the Bulls ended with one of the greatest closing minutes an individual has had on the NBA floor. The basketball world happily tuned in as ESPN moved up the release date by two months to provide a welcome respite and distraction amid stay-at-home orders and a lack of live sports.

Current players turned into fans again, watching and tweeting along with us normal folks as we took a stroll down memory lane and behind the scenes of the Bulls dynasty and, more specifically, the Chicago career of Michael Jordan. LeBron James was among those that was asking for the documentary to be moved up early, and on Monday after the finale of the 10-part series, he joined Maverick Carter and Paul Rivera on Uninterrupted’s “WRTS After Party” to discuss the documentary, Michael Jordan’s impact on him, and tell some stories about his interactions with Jordan over the years.

He talked about crying when Jordan retired in 1993 as a nine-year-old who idolized MJ, and then recalled being a 16-year-old sophomore phenom who ended up in a pickup game with Jordan, Antoine Walker, Jerry Stackhouse, Paul Pierce, Penny Hardaway, and a number of the baby Bulls in the early 2000s.

“Him and Antoine Walker was just talking so much sh*t, back and forth, back and forth,” James said. “They didn’t let me play for like the first hour, cause I’m 16, just the young guy waiting my turn, and to be honest, I didn’t even think I’d get the opportunity to play. The only reason I played is cause the guys in the league, after an hour some of them get tired, like, ‘I’m done with this sh*t. Young fella, we need a fifth, you wanna play?’ So for me being on the court, 16 years old, a sophomore in high school with my favorite player of all-time, man it was like this can’t be real. Pinch me, I hope I don’t wake up.”

“”There was a point in that game, it was to seven or whatever — it was pickup — and Stackhouse was there, Paul Pierce, Penny was playing, Ron Artest, Jamal Crawford, all the Baby Bulls, Eddy Curry,” Carter added. “Mike and ‘Toine were just like, split them up they were kinda captains of each team and they wouldn’t stop, and Mike hit a game-winner with the follow — same Utah Jazz follow through. He was like, ‘Yeah that’s why they pay me $33 million to do this.’ I’ll never forget that.”

LeBron went on to talk about playing with Jordan as a rookie at his L.A. camp, where he and MJ “never lost a game,” but the high school story is incredibly cool. For one, that collection of players is pretty incredible, and for LeBron as a 16-year-old to get a chance to play in that environment, you can tell just by how he talks about it that it meant a lot to him as a young budding star.

WWE Raw Results 5/18/20

Here are your quick and dirty, editorial-free WWE Raw results for May 18, 2020. This week’s episode featured a Women’s Tag Team Championship match, a submission match, the return of Kevin Owens, and more. Make sure you’re here tomorrow for the complete Best and Worst of Raw column.

WWE Raw Results:


– The show opened with Charly Caruso interviewing Randy Orton in the ring about his challenge from last week. Edge interrupted him, and the two exchanged words before Edge accepted Orton’s normal match for Backlash.

– Seth Rollins and Murphy came to the ring to speak, with Rollins saying “you’re welcome” to Rey Mysterio from the bottom of his heart. They were interrupted by Humberto Carrillo, and Rollins volunteered Murphy for a match.

1. Murphy defeated Humberto Carrillo. Carrillo was distracted by Rollins, which allowed Murphy to hit him with a knee strike and Murphy’s Law to win.

– King Corbin is here, if you were worried.

– Liv Morgan cut a promo saying she learned from her match with Charlotte, and won’t give up.

2. NXT Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair defeated Ruby Riott. This started as a Flair promo, with her calling out Riott for some reason. Flair won by submission with the Figure-Eight.

– MVP reiterated his question for Bobby Lashley from last week, asking when Lashley is going to let Lashley free. He said he’d see him later tonight.

– The Kabuki Warriors attempted to celebrate Asuka’s Raw Women’s Championship win with a recorder concert. Nia Jax interrupted and insulted them, so Asuka attacked her. Later in the night, Nia found Kairi Sane backstage and attacked her, which caused Asuka to find and attack Jax again.

3. Bobby Lashley defeated R-Truth. Before the match, Truth said he plans to sack Tom Brady and win back the 24/7 Championship. Lashley won by submission with a full nelson. MVP clapped from the stage.

4. Women’s Tag Team Championship Match: Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross (c) defeated The IIconics by disqualification when Peyton Royce wouldn’t stop throwing Bliss into the ring post. Later, backstage, Billie Kay slapped Royce in the face and then felt bad about it.

5. Submission Match: Shayna Baszler defeated Natalya with the Kirifuda Clutch. After the match, Natalya threw another tantrum.


– Kevin Owens returned to host the Kevin Owens Show, with Zelina Vega and her group as his guests. He revealed that Apollo Crews was also a guest on the show, and Crews attacked the heels. That led directly into a tag team match.

6. Kevin Owens and Apollo Crews defeated Angel Garza and Andrade. Austin Theory tried to interfere but hit Garza, allowing Crews to hit his throwing powerbomb for the win. After the match, Andrade and Garza jumped Theory and kicked him out of their group.

– Drew McIntyre was interviewed about King Corbin.

7. Aleister Black defeated Murphy by disqualification. Austin Theory was still at ringside, so Seth Rollins helped him up and recruited him for his group. Theory attacked Black on Rollins’ command, drawing the disqualification. After the match, Theory and Murphy beat down Black, and Rollins hugged Theory.

– A number of hilarious segments involving the Street Profits vs. Viking Raiders in a game of axe throwing aired. The Vikings were good at it, and the Profits were not. It turns out Angelo Dawkins is secretly great at axe throwing, however. Montez Ford accidentally threw an axe into a police car windshield, and the police let them off with a warning because she was attracted to Ivar. But not Erik, which was noted.

– Apollo Crews will challenge Andrade for the United States Championship again next week.

8. WWE Champions Drew McIntyre defeated King Corbin. Before the match, MVP and Lashley interrupted, with Lashley saying he’s coming for McIntyre’s WWE Championship. They stuck around to watch the match from the stage. McIntyre won with a Claymore Kick.

Donald Glover Brainstormed An Idea For The Possible ‘Community’ Movie

Donald Glover is a Grammy and Emmy winner now, with a number one Billboard hit, a huge Disney blockbuster, and many other projects in the pipeline. But you have to start somewhere, and his big break came with Community, on which he played sheltered and nerdish Troy Barnes up until the end of Season 5. He’s so bit now that, even with everyone quarantining, it was almost a surprise that he made it to Monday’s big charitable table read reunion. Could he ever hope to fit the long-threatened Community movie into his schedule? Even if he can’t, he at least came up with a plot on the fly.

After the reconvened gang (plus scene-stealing guest Pablo Pascal) read through the Season 5 episode “Cooperative Polygraphy” over webcam, the actors started chatting, and eventually they got to wondering about what happened to Troy, who was last heard of lost at sea.

“In the Community world he is definitely dead,” Glover said, a big smile on his face. He then brainstormed a movie in which Abed (Danny Pudi) goes off to find his missing bestie. “What am I doing, writing the movie on the fly or something?” Glover joked. But he was serious when he thought it was a good and outside-the-box idea for a Community motion picture, adding, “I like movies like that.”

Pudi had his back. “I love the idea of Troy being lost and Abed’s mission is to go find him, try to track someone down — that would be fun,” Pudi said. “It writes itself… just put in some Die Hard references.”

Of course, if it turns out they’re serious about a Community search movie — and who knows? — fans will have to wait. “We can’t make movies right now anyway,” Glover reminded everyone.

But Alison Brie — the sometime Annie Edison — thought it sounded good, saying, “I’m in — I think it would be a blast.”

You can watch the full table read below, and please give to the reunion’s chosen charity.
