Chad Johnson Challenges Russell Westbrook to 1-on-1 Basketball Game

Andrew GouldAug 15, 2017

A retired football player challenged the NBA MVP to a game of basketball.

Former NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson randomly issued a vague one-on-one invitation to Russell Westbrook on Twitter. Since that's a weird thing to do, the Oklahoma City Thunder star asked for clarity.

The man once known as Chad Ochocinco confirmed that he wants to face Westbrook in a game of hoops. Per Johnson, Westbrook has "no excuse" to not put everything else on hold because the 39-year-old has a case of the Basketball Jones.

As of Tuesday morning, Westbrook has not publicly answered Johnson. Politely declining might be in everyone's best interest, as this matchup would be about as even as Michael Jordan facing LaVar Ball.
