The time Gilbert Arenas and Master P beat Michael Jordan

What made this game special was that they played versus Michael Jordan and two unknown guys. The trio, according to the artist, caught the six-time champion on an off night. Consequently, they allegedly defeated him in that game.

“Everybody was scared of J at the time, we know he’s the best dude in the world. We got on the court and I told them, ‘look man, let’s just go beat these old dudes.’ Jordan was like, ‘man, you, you a rapper.’ I said, ‘no bro, I’m in the pros and I’m ready.’”
