re: What’s the dumbest thing you’ve heard a friend say they could do in the sports world?

I had a friend in high school that was a local basketball star. Great player and played college at Austin Peay and played overseas for years.
He said back in the day he could beat Jordan one-on-one. He really believed he could do it. This was about 89-90, so Jordan was a huge star, but not yet the legend he would become. Even so, we all told him he was legit insane.
