Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang likes to play basketball.

So does Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas. And it looks like America is about to get the Cruz vs. Yang match we all wanted as of yesterday, when Fox News producer Pat Ward floated the idea.
Need a @AndrewYang v @tedcruz game https://t.co/JgTk0Qbh5z

To which Cruz responded:
Sorry. You gotta poll at 5% or more to play on my court. https://t.co/xRx6VYdWft

Well, lo and behold, Yang is polling at five percent in a recent Harris poll of Democratic primary voters. So he shot back at Cruz.
Ted I would be delighted to beat you in basketball.

And Cruz formally issued a challenge.
Bring it. 4 on 4, you plus three of your paid staffers vs me and three of my paid staffers (no outside ringers). Say, this Friday afternoon in Houston? The loser gives $5k to the (non-political) charity of the winner’s choice? Game? https://t.co/HVlssiJEA5

To which Yang replied:
Let’s play one-on-one. Give the fans a show.

While we wait for them to hammer this out, here’s a flashback to that time Cruz wiped the court with Jimmy Kimmel.
