- A Twitter feud between Houston Rockets GM Darryl Morey and sports writer Rob Perez led sportsbooks to release 1-on-1 odds.

HOUSTON – In the basketball world, one of the biggest match-ups in history is about to occur.
The 38-year-old retired NBA veteran, Jared Jeffries, may be taking on sportswriter and NBA Twitter personality Rob Perez in a one-on-one game for the ages.
The entire thing started with a back and forth between Perez and Houston Rockets GM Darryl Morey which resulted in Perez claiming he could score five points in a one-on-one game against Jeffries.
Now online sportsbooks are taking action on the potential clash of the titans.
Perez Vs. Jeffries
NBA sports bettors at least have some action to wager on as they await the NBA’s return.
Jeffries is the runaway favorite, unsurprisingly, with sports bettors leaning towards real NBA experience and a professional basketball career to trump writing about the sport.
Rob Perez Vs. Jared Jefferies 1 On 1
- Jared Jeffries -750
- Rob Perez +450
Poor Jeffries was dragged into the back and forth between is former GM and the sportswriter when Perez poked fun at Morey for trading away Tracy McGrady in a trade that resulted in the Rockets securing Jeffries.
A trade that is now considered to be a major blunder in Morey’s resume as Jeffries would go on to average under 5 points per game for Houston.
This resulting in Perez arguing he would be able to score at least 5 points against Jeffries in the potential one-on-one, even hosting a poll for fans to vote.

Yes let's also make it a fundraiser! I will donate $5k no matter what the outcome. Winner gets to pick cause-all the bets go to. My cause is @ACLU -- @WorldWideWob can pick his cause. Let's have other people bet each side although I doubt @WorldWideWob will have many on his side
