Michael Jordan says he’d beat LeBron James in one-on-one

[hipolito mejia]

IF he was 100 % confident about being the greatest of all time he wouldn't feel the need to compare himself to others .......

JORDAN > kobe

I agree, but I think Kobe is closer to MJ than a lot of people think.  Although Kobe is a first team all-defense player Jordan is better on that end of the court.  Kobe is a better three point shooter than MJ.  The big difference to me is that Jordan is better at letting the game come to him and he doesn't try to force things which is where Kobe gets himself in trouble. 

All that said, one on one is Kobe and MJ's bread and butter.  The two of them going at it would be epic.

Speaking of Basketball

This season is gonna be great, the East is strong.

Heat, Bulls, Pacers and the Nets.

lol. It s going to be sad when people  realize rose is  greatly diminshed in terms of explosivity due to the injury.

[Natural Man]

jordan got the refs to blow a whistle every time he went down the lane.  

kobe USED to get those same calls, hence his early legendary unstoppable status.

Then, the league stopped this, and now we see Kobe being very stoppable.

Lebron gets hammered every time he goes down the lane. I don't see him playing til he's 35 like Kobe or MJ.  He gets beaten up nightly.  By 31 or 32, he'll lose a year to a major injury, or like Dwight Howard, his shoulders will just give out.

lebron is another physical animal than howard. He ll last longer.

Jordan has and always will have a chip on his shoulder...he internalized everything that people said about him and used that as fuel.

[The Scott]

Prime Wilt would destroy either of them with ease.  Especially if no travelling, palming and carrying the ball were actually enforced.

[Irongrip400]

Michael would have LeBron beaten before the game even started.
LeBron would end up lying on the court in the fetal position by the time the game was over and it would have nothing to do with who's better physically.

Yes, Michael is the Arnold of basketball. All others are defeated before taking the court. Dudes an animal.

U seem like one of those guys that sits on his ass all day watching sports and waits for his welfare check to come in the mail. That is unless u have direct deposit

He was an animal in his time...nowadays he d get anally raped by lebron. Lettuce stay realistic.

Yes, much like Adrian Peterson sucked the season after he tore his ACL.  You really called this one, "uberman" 

[jude2]

This is like Larry Scott saying he would have beat Ronnie C in his prime.

[Palpatine Q]

Remember when Kobe was yelling at Lebron during the All Star Game to "shoot the ball"?
Well, if you don't shoot against Jordan, he's going to annihilate you, and embarass you in the process.

Lebron would step on Jordan's head on  the way to the rim.

[arce1988]

 great post, pray

[The Ugly]

Jordan was in a league of his own. No way these guys are even remote threats.

[Palpatine Q]

Lebron has two chips and 4 finals appearances at the same age Jordan had one chip.

People like to argue "Lebron went to the finals and couldn't close"...at the same point in his career, Jordan was getting bounced out in the second round

Before or after Jordan dunks on him?

the quality of players sucks ass today, it's all 4th quarter play. Shit, a prime Allen Iverson could dominate now (if he had his head together).

This.  That's why I haven't watched the NBA since jordan's retirement.  Oh well, I guess I'll miss Lebrons  whole career.

Just keep telling yourself that...you have nothing to refute what I said but "back in my day" bullshit.

High school kids do jordans dunks.

Actually, Jordan became a more complete player when he didn't dunk as much, and became a clutch shooter, which Lebron is not. He also got into the head of his opponents. He not only wanted to beat XYZ one on one, but he wanted to beat the team as well. Lebron is not as headstrong...hell, would Lebron play with the Flu during the finals? Probably not.

there will never be another Jordan, just like there will never be another Lebron.

Lebrons not a clutch shooter....LOLOLOL

Dude I watched Jordan play too... he's the greatest....BUT...if Lebron keeps doing what He's doing.. he won't be the greatest for long.

People remember "their" guy and "their" era fondly... and don't like it fucked with. Me.. I'm objective.

[Bevo]

Fuck Jordan and his overrated clothing line and shoes

Maybe...I am just not impressed with him...he needed a damn team around him to achieve what he has. Jordan had Pippen, and some streak three point shooters and a clumsy Center.

True, we remember "their guy" and their era...Kobe is a yr or two younger than me, and going thru my 20s to 30s, as the same time he was, I just never saw him taking it to Jordan's level.
Lebron's way younger, and although he is a beast, does he have that ice water running thru his veins?

*The guy that really effed it up is Jason Williams. Would have been nice to see what he could have done in a Bulls uniform.

Lebron took a Cleveland team to the finals and made them competitive
