Michael Jordan Is Still Confident He Can Beat Hornets Players 1-on-1

Kenny DorsetJun 13, 2015

Even at the age of 52, Michael Jordan is still very confident in his basketball skills.

During a recent interview with France's L'Equipe, MJ was asked if he still plays one-on-one with Hornets players, and his answer was vintage Jordan (transcribed by CBS Sports' Ananth Pandian):

"
L'Equipe: Do you think you can play against some of your guys right now? Do you sometimes do that or not? Could you win on one-on-ones against them?
Jordan: I'm pretty sure I can, so I don't want to do that and demolish their confidence. So I stay away from them, I let them think they're good...but I'm too old to do that anyway.
"
