Kendall Gill (aka, The Original K.G., aka, My Favorite NBA Player Of All Time Not Named Shawn Kemp) took to Instagram Thursday morning to share yet another tale of the high cost of talking shit to Michael Jordan. Thankfully, Gill has also provided video of the incident, in which he and a young Alonzo Mourning — then teammates on the Charlotte Hornets — were put in their place by His Airness. We’ll let Gill explain how it went down:
Me, Larry Johnson, and Alonzo Mourning were young upcoming guns in the league. We were feeling ourselves in this game because we were giving it to the Bulls. After this play our Wild oats quickly became shredded wheats! Alonzo had just blocked 2 of the Bulls shots. We started talking smack. I could since MJ getting mad because We were matched up against each other. I didn’t give a crap though because I was young, dumb and didn’t know any better. MJ back doored me out of the triangle offense and put Zo on his collection of posters. Lol. Moral of this story? Callin out the Devil is one thing. Facing him is another! Never tug on Superman’s cape unless you’re absolutely ready! Did you hear me Pacman?
