FanHouse Bryon Russell

Craig Ehlo has some advice for Bryon Russell: Move on.

Ehlo was the first NBA victim of a legendary Michael Jordan shot. Who will ever forget the sight of a sprawling Ehlo while Jordan nailed a last-second jumper to win the deciding Game 5 of a 1989 first-round series between Jordan's Chicago Bulls and Ehlo's Cleveland Cavaliers?

Russell was the last victim of a legendary Jordan shot. He was on the receiving end in Game 6 of the NBA Finals when Jordan's last-ditch jumper defeated Utah to clinch Chicago's sixth and final title.

Love it or hate it, no one will forget Michael Jordan's Hall of Fame induction speech any time soon, especially his story about how Bryon Russell once talked trash in 1994, when Jordan was retired and Russell was a rookie, and how Jordan proceeded to go out of his way torch Russell every chance he had after returning. "From this day forward," Jordan concluded, "if I ever see him in shorts, I'm coming at him."

Russell took the challenge in stride, confirming Jordan's story while at the same time refusing to back down. "I'll play his a-- right now," he told Yahoo! Sports. "This is a call-out for him to come play me."

Jordan hasn't publicly responded yet, but Brandt Andersen, owner of the D-League's Utah Flash, is hoping to goad him into action, putting $100,000 of his own money on the line for a one-on-one contest.
