[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="650"] Getty[/caption] As soon as Malik Monk was drafted by Michael Jordan's Charlotte Hornets, the former Wildcat was forced to field questions about his new boss.  One of them continues to be asked:
"Could you beat Jordan one-on-one?"
Monk has never been political with his response, always answering affirmatively.  He doubled down today in an interview during the Hornets' first Summer League game. "He's pretty old right now.  I think I could get him," Monk said. Monk was being interviewed during the game because he is doubtful to play this summer.  He sprained his left ankle during pre-draft workouts.  In the interview he revealed that it happened during a closeout, about "three to four weeks" before the draft.  See everything he had to say on NBA TV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dhIEzN0f8s w
