Michael Jordan and Chris Paul were attending a kids basketball camp in 2016. At one point, Paul challenged Jordan to play a game of "Around the World." If he missed three shots, every kid in the camp would have gotten Jordans for free.
The game varies from player to player, with Jordan taking shots from the elbow and the 3-point line.
He knocked down his first shot from the elbow before making a free-throw jumper. The basketball legend then moved to the 3-point line and drained three long-range shots in a row.
On his sixth shot, Paul put his hand in front of Michael Jordan, trying to get him to miss a shot. Unfortunately for the kids, that did not help and Jordan ended up making every single shot.
Making every single shot against no defense should be easy for every NBA player. However, it's important to note that Jordan was 53 years old during the challenge. That's probably why Paul thought that Jordan was going to miss a couple of shots.
Despite his retirement,
Jordan is still very competitive and daring him to make all the shots was a bad idea. When the video resurfaced in 2018, Twitter user Killa Tex made a meme that became very popular.
Jordan broke the hearts of every kid at the basketball camp and became the subject of a popular meme as a reward
The meme quickly spread all over social media and some versions of it included other NBA players and characters from pop culture.
Chris Paul, unsurprisingly, wasn't too happy about it.
