It was Michael Jordan's rookie season. World B Free, a legendary shot maker in his own right, he stepped on to the court that day, with the intention of going right after Michael Jordan. World B. Free already had extra motivation coming off the bench, because George Karl was going with a youth movement, in Cleveland, but he also wanted to show the rookie, Michael Jordan, just what he was all about, as a basketball player. What followed, was an epic battle between the two! World B Free has told stories about how he would go from New York City Borough to NYC Borough testing his talent against the best basketball players in New York City. World B Free stayed true to the essence of that competition, in this ballgame, but... the GOAT is the GOAT for a reason. Enjoy!

Blitz Sports Network PSA: Always remember, the individuals who say "Michael Jordan didn't face great competition in his era" are trying to tell you something IMPORTANT. They are trying to tell you that they didn't watch the Michael Jordan era, and there are much better things you could be doing with your time rather than listening to their takes on an era they didn't even watch. Would you go to someone for an opinion on Shakespeare if they had never seen the plays Macbeth, Hamlet, or Othello? Of course you wouldn't. Consider the source. Nobody who watched that era would trash the talent all around the league. Michael Jordan played in a great era with a great blend of fierce competitors, awe inspiring athletes, lock down defenders, knock down shooters, and ultra skilled ballers.
