Michael Jordan Pickup Team: MJ Names Players He Would Pick (VIDEO)

MJ Names Teammates He Would Pick For Pickup Game

Michael Jordan seems to have three requirements for anyone wanting to be selected to his pick-up hoops team:

1) Be an all-time great player.
2) Be an all-time great player who played in his era.
2) Be willing to let him keep the ball.

Asked to name his four preferred teammates for a pick-up game while promoting "NBA 2K14", Jordan was pretty blunt about his primary concern.

"What five guys would I pick up to make sure I hold on to the basketball?" he asked himself.

The players MJ didn't name might raise some eyebrows. He didn't pick Larry Bird, Wilt Chamberlain, Oscar Robertson, Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabar, Julius Irving, Shaq, Tim Duncan, LeBron James or Kobe Bryant.

Watch the video above to see who he did pick.
