Michael Jordan on LeBron James
Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, or LeBron James is a debate that may never be settled as fans of each player continue to battle it out with their own reasoning. It is certainly a tough call between the three as each player dominated through different eras or decades to be specific.
We have seen Kobe Bryant play against both of the other players on the debate but one specific scenario had never seen the light of day. LeBron James vs Michael Jordan, a match-up that would literally reduce a lot of the trash-talking that circulates within the league today.
Michael Jordan says he can beat LeBron James any day
In an interview set for the promotion of the NBA 2K14, Michael Jordan sat down with NBC’s Ahmad Rashad who asked the Hall of Famer if he would be interested in pairing up against players like Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Julius Erving, Carmelo Anthony, Dwayne Wade and many other of the league former greats and at that time stars.
He simply said,”I don’t think I would lose… other than to Kobe Bryant because he steals all of my moves.”
Nothing but pure dominance in his words. MJ’s answer had a lot of validity in it as Kobe Bryant himself has admitted to wanting to be like Michael Jordan or even better. He was one of the closest replications of Jordan in recent history.
Jordan further went on the say that he knew he was better than LeBron James. However, a conspiracy circulates the NBA world about Jordan being dominated by a young LeBron back in 2003 in a pickup game which forced the Chicago Bulls player to retire in order to remain his status as the greatest of all time.
Can Michael Jordan beat LeBron James in a 1v1?
Michael Jordan not only has comparatively more accolades over LeBron but has also been better in numbers. Jordan averages a career total of 30.1 points while LeBron averages 27 points. Jordan would have demolished the all-time scoring total by a massive gap if only he had stayed in the league longer.
MJ’s style of aggressive defense and quick-witted playing is something that will school LeBron if there were to be a 1v1 with both players in their primes. And not to mention Jordan’s expert-level trash talking.
