Memphis Grizzlies owner Robert Pera has said that he will give $1m to charity if NBA great Michael Jordan will agree to a one-on-one match against him.
The Ubiquiti Networks CEO issued the challenge on Twitter in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
Pera's bold call out was issued after he rubbished talk of him taking on rival franchise owner Marc Cuban.
If we are talking an owner game, get me MJ! I'll up the charity contribution to $1mm

There was a huge reaction to Pera'a tweet on the social media site.
Former NASCAR driver Cal Wells, who was keen to know whether Pera would request a handicap against Jordan, asked: "You vs MJ, game to 10, make it take it...how many points do you need to make it fair?"
"NONE", Pera replied.
Pera recently displayed his shooting skills in this video of him taking part in a Grizzlies training session.
