Andrew Yang is polling at 5 percent, so Ted Cruz just challenged him to a basketball game

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.

To which Cruz responded:

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.

And Cruz formally issued a challenge.

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.
