Brandon Miller might be begging the Hornets not to draft him after Michael Jordan airball story

Anyone who has watched The Last Dance — or Michael Jordan’s entire career — knows one thing: DO NOT TRASH TALK MICHAEL JORDAN.

But Brandon Miller — who didn’t name Jordan as the NBA’s GOAT when asked — doesn’t seem to mind. The Alabama star who could be a top-3 pick on Thursday night at the 2023 NBA Draft was interviewed recently and revealed that in a workout WITH Jordan and the Charlotte Hornets, Jordan shot an airball.

If that doesn’t beg for a “And I took that personally” meme, I don’t know what does, especially with the possibility that Scoot Henderson could be the pick (note: I don’t think that would be why Jordan would take Henderson over Miller).

“It’s just him being old.” OUCH.
