Dan Patrick Show,<\/em> former Lakers player and coach Byron Scott recalled a story of Michael Jordan predicting his final stat line. Scott told Dan Patrick:<\/p>\n\n\n\n“You guys remember Anthony Peeler? Out of Missouri. So we got the Chicago Bulls coming to town and, unfortunately, I got a sprained ankle. I enjoyed guarding Mike because he was\u2014the one thing I did with Mike is I never got him pissed off. He makes a shot, you say, ‘Good shot, Mike!' You don't talk trash to him so that he can go off for 60. You try to kill him with kindness. You don't talk trash to him.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“So they're getting off the bus, we're done with shootaround, and we're walking out and MJ says, ‘B Scott, what's going on?' I said, ‘What's up, MJ?' He said, ‘Man, I hear that you're not playing tonight.' I said, ‘No, I sprained my ankle.' He said, ‘Who's guarding me?' I said, ‘Anthony Peeler.' He's like, ‘Oh. 50.' [laughs] So I told Anthony Peeler, ‘Listen, MJ is probably going to go for about 50 tonight on you. So just don't piss him off. Just be cool.' He ended up with 54.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
