he's right when he said he had everything to gain and nothing to lose. at the end of the day mj teaching you a lesson can only make you better so good on him
Great answer. Even if it is Michael Jordan, they were still playing basketball. Trashtalk is part of it. Of course if you trashtalk to MJ you should be prepared for what's coming next.
You have to like O.J., having good humor in retrospect about his encounter with Mike. Though, a lot of O.J.'s attitude likely comes from MJ serving him up a gigantic slice of humble pie.
I appreciate OJ's candor and honesty. Nothing wrong with trying to take on the best ever, if for no other reason than to measure where one is at that time.
MJ didn't go after OJ because he thought he was a weaker link. He doesn't know MJ at all if he believes. MJ goes after the most hyped & most raw talented guy there just to show em wassup. He's always wanted to go against the best, to prove that he was the best.
Lebron wasn't at the camp. He picked the guy regarded as the best HS player on the planet who had not been humbled yet & humbled him. The freshmen in college are already humbled because they have already gone up against stiffer competition & see that there are other players that are as good & better than them. The best HS player still thinks he can't be touched until someone proves them otherwise so to speak.
Sad to see how Oj Mayo didnt pan out to be the next big star. He had all the tools, and his game was polished EARLY in his age. Now hes just a slightly above average NBA player. Most had him to be a superstar
i think MJ saw a little of himself on OJ's side. and he needed to cultivate a strong and humble attitude on the youngster. that really helped him i think
That is a subtle way of saying.."Mike busted my ass" LOL. I"m happy for Mayo. That is a great story and memory to have. He will be telling that to his grandchildren one day and they totally won't believe him lol. Good stuff.
Even in his mid stage of life, MJ still has that burning competitive drive that made him such an accomplished player. Winners are born hyper competitive, and are like it all their lives. It`s an essential component of high achievement, especially in sports.
"It's every kid's dream to play against Mike."? Not my dream! My dream was to win titles with him as his teammate! I would NEVER play against that man! That's a death sentence!
I went elementary and high school with OJ, we go way back. Saw him in town recently and we spoke. Glad to see him and my bud Patrick Patterson make it some where and do something good with their life.
Shut up bro stop living in the past, you aren’t friends with them today, to them you’re just some guy they went to hs with and saw in the hall way from time to time, you can’t call and ask for a favor so shut it
@@Kinghimx Where did I mention friends? Just said we go way back, that doesn't imply friends. Just means I knew him for a long time. I wouldn't call and ask anyone for favor, you apparently know nothing about where I'm from or him lol. This isn't a state where you rely on someone else for a favor...
Gotta love OJ Mayo for not backing down even to Jordan he still was humble and respected him but its competition regardless and he went at him like anybody else RESPECT
That's awesome. People would give their entire life savings to play one on one with Jordan, and all OJ had to do was talk shit to him? That's super cool
And be the best high school player in the country, and be invited to Michael Jordan's basketball camp. That's all he had to do. Those three very hard, very exclusive, basketball and MJ-related things.
a______�______a You sound like someone who's dreams were crushed as a kid and was just never able to do anything else significant with your life so you just comment on youtube posts at the crack of dawn.
Roy Hanks Mayo was an up and coming prospect. Greatest competitor in sports (in his 40s) just couldn't take lip off a teenager. MJ is the kind of man whose ego directs each and every single action he takes. For him, there was no choice.
Frost Giant I still think that's pretty cool though. Even for the best high school player in the world at that time, he had the opportunity to brag to his friends that he talked so much shit that Michael Jordan was forced to play him 1 on 1.
Good one OJ; as a kid its actually the best way to get the attention of a star and definite one as competitive as MJ. Had he been all star struck he would have gone unnoticed.
Love basketball. OJ got to play one on one w MJ. What a story to tell the grandkids. Even if Mayo would've gotten hurt and never had a career, he has that story thanks to MJ. Many stars don't even interact with the kids that much at those camps. Every great prospect would love to man up on a legend at those camps. Props to both for doing that.
Respect to OJ Mayo for giving a wonderful answer. A lot of kids these days wouldn't know how to answer that question. But again he was a lot older and wiser when he answered this question but props to him
The only guy that MJ admitted that he lost to him on a 1 on 1 is his brother Larry. He said even when he was playing for the Bulls, his brother could still occasionally beat him in 1 on 1.
Honesty goes a very long ways.. I would have done the same thing OJ... nothing ventured nothing gained.. At least you got to play one on one with Jordan.. Hats off to you.
The one fact that proves Michael Jordan is the best player in NBA history: 6 finals appearances, 6 finals wins, 6 finals MVP's & never even let a finals go to a game 7. case closed. Jordan: GOAT
Tut's Gameplay And More | EMCA Bombz | FullOnKnives stop being a dipshit, first of all ANYBODY in the nba is good, even the bench players who don't play. second of all anyone scoring 27 points a game with a 56% field goal percentage is ridiculously good
***** You wanna go there, ok? First of all im not a "dipshit" so you gotta get that right. Second of all his signature move is the flop which means go to the foul line and get points, half of his points are from the foul line. Third of all can you stop being a dipshit?
Tut's Gameplay And More | EMCA Bombz | FullOnKnives his free throw attempt average is almost the exact same as michael jordan and a little bit higher than kobes, and only about 20% of his points come from the line. and im not saying that hes the goat or any of that shit im just saying HES GOOD. do you fucking think you would beat him in a 1-on-1, or the top high school player in the country would beat him in a 1-on-1?? theres a fucking reason there's hype around him whether you hate him or not. he averaged 20 points in the nba straight out of high school, is that considered "good" to you??
great response by this young man. That tells the story, Mike never backed down from any of the greatest at that time which propelled him to become the greatest. OJ was just doing the same. That is the right attitude to have for success. Some people just have more tools to get there.
He told that story like a true gentleman. It matches up perfectly to how MJ described it. Props to OJ for being real, and it was a smart move to challenge the king when he had the chance.
alexandergoldman All i know is I heard Mj is an asshole to his fans and i want to prove it to myself whether that's false or fact before I sing his praises like i used to do
dgdatguy1 yeah...ive heard some nasty stories. from chamillionaire to palming the face of 5 foot japanese ladies at the casino...but it is what it is...
I really respect OJ Mayo for telling the truth about this . MJ worked his ass off and we have all been in Mayo shoes in life . Lesson learned . Wisdom gained .
I saw the MJ on Mayo game. Yeah, Jordan played him with the fadeaway all day... but Mayo kept on going. I understand him. Like he said, he had nothing to lose. It's OK. Remember Jordan is a competitive freak, so I think he actually liked the challenge from the Mayo, and it gave him the chance to show who's boss, even at his age. It was fun for both.
You may be the best high school player in the world I'm the best of all time Ouch pretty sharp and effective comeback to put Mayo in his place. Michael Jordan is one of those talented athletes that only come once in a lifetime and took basketball to a higher level. Even people wherever they are in the world who are not into basketball like who Michael Jordan or know who Michael Jordan is.
He USED MJ... OJ Mayo wanted a barometer to see how good he really was.. So he pissed off MJ to get his best effort on the court... Not bad for an 11th grader!!!
"I had everything to gain and nothing to lose." Haha so damn true. No one was surprised he got put in by Michael Jordan, no one's opinion of his skill would change, but IF just IF mayo did beat jordan, so much brag rights xD damn right nothing to lose xD
Ok, I am a sportsman my whole life, and I can tell you this for sure, you need guts to do this... Altough he did pretty stupid thing, this needs to be respected. At the end of the day, he really had everything to gain and nothing to lose. In my opinion he gained a lot...
OJ gets props for keeping it real
uneedmorepeople true baby
"Everything to gain, nothing to lose." So True
I like how they both told pretty much the same story.
means MJ was talking the truth no need to lie his the greatest for a reason!
Cause its the truth!
he's right when he said he had everything to gain and nothing to lose. at the end of the day mj teaching you a lesson can only make you better so good on him
Great answer. Even if it is Michael Jordan, they were still playing basketball. Trashtalk is part of it. Of course if you trashtalk to MJ you should be prepared for what's coming next.
+Jesus Christ Amen.
+Jesus Christ amen
+Jesus Christ Jesus speaks the truth. Thank you Lord.
You have to like O.J., having good humor in retrospect about his encounter with Mike. Though, a lot of O.J.'s attitude likely comes from MJ serving him up a gigantic slice of humble pie.
My question is, who wouldn't talk smack to MJ? That's the best story ever.
Great story. And props to Mayo for telling the truth about it with such humility, humor, and grace.
I appreciate OJ's candor and honesty. Nothing wrong with trying to take on the best ever, if for no other reason than to measure where one is at that time.
OJ Mayo ..what a name.. Orange Juice Mayonnaise
Hero lmao
Idol
😂😂😭
I always thought this as a kid😭😭
OJ Simpson's Mayo
gotta love his honesty and the way he reflects on what he's done and why he's done it.
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.
-MJ
MJ didn't go after OJ because he thought he was a weaker link. He doesn't know MJ at all if he believes. MJ goes after the most hyped & most raw talented guy there just to show em wassup. He's always wanted to go against the best, to prove that he was the best.
Yeah, he def need to show a HS kid who's the best
Then he should go up against Lebron....not OJ mayo lol
Lebron wasn't at the camp. He picked the guy regarded as the best HS player on the planet who had not been humbled yet & humbled him. The freshmen in college are already humbled because they have already gone up against stiffer competition & see that there are other players that are as good & better than them. The best HS player still thinks he can't be touched until someone proves them otherwise so to speak.
Lebron in High school would've killed Jordan.and will now obviously.jordan obviously the GOAT but dude is a hater and fears someone taking his place
Jorgie9891
Would kill Jordan that's not, not Jordan in his prime though. He's just a scoring machine.
Sad to see how Oj Mayo didnt pan out to be the next big star. He had all the tools, and his game was polished EARLY in his age. Now hes just a slightly above average NBA player. Most had him to be a superstar
i think MJ saw a little of himself on OJ's side. and he needed to cultivate a strong and humble attitude on the youngster. that really helped him i think
except MJ was a brutal psychologist who talked smack on the court in his career haha
true but lots of others do that. its part of the game. but i think you could be right. it was all accident lol
yes indeed, lots of others do it but there's a big gap with MJ and others who do it. ron artest talking smack? LOL
MJ only talked smack to players he knew, get your facts right, he even said it himself...
Stephen Harris ooooo u showed me up , SON.
i need some fresh new facts about a game where grown men throw balls inside tall tiny hoops for a living.
Who wouldn't want to play Mike?
I would rather play like Magic
I would play with Kobe moves because the only moves can stop him
Nigga I would. Fuck Mike
@@robertknight8520 So much edge.
That is a subtle way of saying.."Mike busted my ass" LOL.
I"m happy for Mayo. That is a great story and memory to have. He will be telling that to his grandchildren one day and they totally won't believe him lol. Good stuff.
yea good thing jordan mentioned this too, so he can show that to his grandchilderns
Even in his mid stage of life, MJ still has that burning competitive drive that made him such an accomplished player.
Winners are born hyper competitive, and are like it all their lives.
It`s an essential component of high achievement, especially in sports.
Much respect that's real talk. Everything to gain nothing to lose.
"It's every kid's dream to play against Mike."? Not my dream! My dream was to win titles with him as his teammate! I would NEVER play against that man! That's a death sentence!
Well said brother
amen OJ..mad props
Very well spoken & Honest. Much Respect To Mayo. I'm sure it was one of the Most influential lesson's of his life. Story for the Grandkids.
Really enjoyed hearing this young man speak.
It's not a good idea to talk trash to the greatest.
Great interview. Basically: "Mike did what he had to do"
"You may be the best high school player in the world but I'm the greatest ever". MJ 🙊💪😂
Yep great comeback lol
I went elementary and high school with OJ, we go way back. Saw him in town recently and we spoke. Glad to see him and my bud Patrick Patterson make it some where and do something good with their life.
Shut up bro stop living in the past, you aren’t friends with them today, to them you’re just some guy they went to hs with and saw in the hall way from time to time, you can’t call and ask for a favor so shut it

I wouldn't call and ask anyone for favor, you apparently know nothing about where I'm from or him lol.
This isn't a state where you rely on someone else for a favor...
I respect that he told it like it was and not try to make himself look good.
Great story...big ups to O.J. Mayo for keeping it real and bring real smooth about it.
One of my favorite MJ stories.
Mike and Mayo stories matched up perfect and u know this was absolutely a true story.
Got to give Mayo some credit, you can't be a scrub if you going to call out the G.O.A.T
Gotta love OJ Mayo for not backing down even to Jordan he still was humble and respected him but its competition regardless and he went at him like anybody else RESPECT
That's awesome. People would give their entire life savings to play one on one with Jordan, and all OJ had to do was talk shit to him? That's super cool

Roy Hanks it's kind of fucking true though

Mohammad Hassan elaborate..
MJ is so good, hes probably better than 95% of the whole league still.
*****
of course lebron is good
no hes not...

OJ is very articulate. Too bad he didn't turn to the superstar we thought he could be.
tubenachos you just witnessed why lol
"And mike was mike, he did what he had to do.
I have to give O.J. a lot of credit for admitting a whoop ass. Very rare these days. Bravo!
U got to give him credit for standin up to a great...most would be awestruck
at least he was honest....
great response by this young man. That tells the story, Mike never backed down from any of the greatest at that time which propelled him to become the greatest. OJ was just doing the same. That is the right attitude to have for success. Some people just have more tools to get there.
Loool, he actually told that story very nice, like a little story!! Good speaker, but hey he did play Mike afterall. Good times
DAMN OJ! keep it up man... matured player a true NBA player
Mike said put some respeck on his name
Well for OJ side that was great, he was able to take MJ one on one seriously, and that was a great accomplishment.
Nobody can say they would have did anything different if they were in his position. A chance to play against MJ? Who would turn that down
He told that story like a true gentleman. It matches up perfectly to how MJ described it. Props to OJ for being real, and it was a smart move to challenge the king when he had the chance.
i respect the honesty and candor.
how lucky he is to play with the greatest player of all time.... Priceless
at least mayo owned up to his lose with Jordan. but hey he can still be a great player in the nba.
dude kept it real...adrenalin was flowing i'm sure.. but dang, never want to light the fire under MJ...or THAT happens..
alexandergoldman
All i know is I heard Mj is an asshole to his fans and i want to prove it to myself whether that's false or fact before I sing his praises like i used to do
dgdatguy1 yeah...ive heard some nasty stories. from chamillionaire to palming the face of 5 foot japanese ladies at the casino...but it is what it is...
To sum it all up: OJ was talking crap, MJ whooped him and OJ was cool about it after.
This is a great story tho. And I appreciate mayo’s honesty
the man said, sit down son!
That right there is a MAN!!!!! Respect to you!!! Did not talk smack, just told it how it was.
Great video. OJ took it well. Good competition all the way around.
mayo has a respectable point. I respect him for this response
I really respect OJ Mayo for telling the truth about this . MJ worked his ass off and we have all been in Mayo shoes in life . Lesson learned . Wisdom gained .
I saw the MJ on Mayo game. Yeah, Jordan played him with the fadeaway all day... but Mayo kept on going. I understand him. Like he said, he had nothing to lose. It's OK. Remember Jordan is a competitive freak, so I think he actually liked the challenge from the Mayo, and it gave him the chance to show who's boss, even at his age. It was fun for both.
Good job OJ. Very respectful
At least he's honest.
Kobe Bryant is the greatest ever.
nice joke, really funny
2nd greatest*
What did Michael Jordan do that was so great?
Austin Pratte my ass!!!
Jeff Kintuky Well for starters Mj's playoff numbers are better in every single statistic. Every damn one of them.
You may be the best high school player in the world I'm the best of all time
Ouch pretty sharp and effective comeback to put Mayo in his place.
Michael Jordan is one of those talented athletes that only come once in a lifetime and took basketball to a higher level.
Even people wherever they are in the world who are not into basketball like who Michael Jordan or know who Michael Jordan is.
The last 10 seconds were very well said
I actually can dig his explanation... Respect!
To say the least, he got to play an extra game and got some lessons from the goat.
At the end of the day, its basketball, so obviously some trash talking is bound to happen.
So much respect.
Hahaha "Mike was Mike" that shit had me laughing my ass off
OJ Mayo being well spoken and good natured.
He USED MJ...
OJ Mayo wanted a barometer to see how good he really was..
So he pissed off MJ to get his best effort on the court...
Not bad for an 11th grader!!!
I am of the opinion that you just made that up. At any rate: it didn't work. OJ served me a McRib at McDonalds last week.
shit man he got it right, take that lesson. 16 years old getting school by the greatest. that's some real shit right there. big ups
basketball is life!
I'm glad you learned young buck. You took it like a man. Because of that i might respect you one day...
True!
"I had everything to gain and nothing to lose." Haha so damn true. No one was surprised he got put in by Michael Jordan, no one's opinion of his skill would change, but IF just IF mayo did beat jordan, so much brag rights xD
damn right nothing to lose xD
Cool story. MJ IS THE BEST IVE EVER SEEN
Exactly what made him the best of all time
OJ is honest young fella, i like him.
Give all respect to whom it is due.....Money Mike! The Greatest of All Time...mmj
Well said Mayo. Props to you.
Well not to be rude but OJ Mayo aint shit now that will probably be the highlight of his career
Well he used to be super good but yeah hes kind of nothing now
lmao that happened when OJ was still in highschool
Mike is anything but humble
Love the way OJ handle himself.
You better talk smack, that's basketball! You kept it 100.....Respect👌
OJ sounds like a cool guy. I like him.
Bow to the king.
New found respect for oj mayo.
Good response. You gotta respect that.
Jordan is the Mayweather of basketball today. He doesn't pound anymore but he finds a way to win.
Ok, I am a sportsman my whole life, and I can tell you this for sure, you need guts to do this... Altough he did pretty stupid thing, this needs to be respected. At the end of the day, he really had everything to gain and nothing to lose. In my opinion he gained a lot...
that was a cool ass interview
Damn, I like OJ Mayo now. Respect.
Good lesson he learned :) He seems like a good kid. Best of luck.
