Jimmy Butler: I didn’t lose to Michael Jordan

SHARE Jimmy Butler: I didn’t lose to Michael Jordan

Michael Jordan and Jimmy Butler had some fun earlier this month in a shooting contest at Jordan’s Flight School on the UC-Santa Barbara campus.

Jordan, at age 52, appeared to win that day, which only reinforced his title as the greatest of all time.

But Butler disputed that outcome Wednesday, telling ESPN’s “The Waddle & Silvy Show” that he was the actual victor.

“It was good. I won, let’s just leave it at that,” Butler told the radio hosts.

But Butler still praised Jordan’s game.

“Mike’s still got it,” he said. “I’m not going to say that he can get up and down right now but the guy is the greatest to ever play the game. He loves the game but I hear that his golf game is really great so I’ll stick to the basketball court and he can have the golf.”
