Earlier this week, the NBA brought out some huge legends for Wednesday’s Clippers-Hornets contest that took place at Shanghai’s Mercedes-Benz Arena.
In attendance for the game were basketball greats Patrick Ewing, Michael Jordan and Yao Ming. Yao, as he does with almost every human on the planet, made Ewing and Jordan look positively diminutive despite the fact that Patrick is about seven feet tall and MJ is six-foot-six.
As for the game itself, the Hornets went on to win the match in Shanghai by a score of 113-71. The Hornets were led by a 14 point, 10 rebound and 5 assist performance from Nicolas Batum. Jeremy Lin chipped in 13 points and five rebounds as well. Sports!
