Brandon Jennings on why Michael Jordan isn’t in his Top 5: I didn’t really watch basketball when he last won a championship

Oubre and his new 76ers teammate George talked about Jordan’s mere presence on players’ minds whenever the six-time NBA champion showed up around the Hornets players, especially during scrimmages. “Mike came in, and his presence was felt every single time he would come in because you knew either we were in trouble or he just wanted to motivate us. So you were always just bracing yourself for the wisdom that he was about to give us,” Oubre said. “He came to one game — I [forget] who we played. I shot a three. I can’t tell you if I made it or missed it, but it was terrible timing and ball situation. We were up. I was trying to dagger these fools, trying to win and be the hero. I shot it. “I don’t know what happened after that, but I did come to the sideline after a timeout, and he smacked me in the back of the head,” Oubre concluded. -via Clutch Points / October 21, 2024
