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

[Army of One]

Why ?  He's right.   Jesus dude get Jordans dick out of your mouth...kobe and Jordan are both athketic 6'6" shooting guards.

Lebron is morw Dominique Wilkins version 3.0

Their explosiveness and athleticism isn't comparable, prime Jordan murdered him as an athlete, had a much quicker first step, visibly higher vertical off 1 feet and 2 feet,far quicker lateral speed, was visibly faster end to end, visibly quicker.Jordan is more a combo of prime Vince carter and Dwayne wade athleticism wise.

[The Scott]

Wilt.  No contest.

Whatwver you say man.....I feel like I'm in a Dorian thread.

[ProudVirgin69]

Watching Jordan was like watching a video game or something.

Jordan overrated.... never thought I'd hear that

[daddy8ball]

If you had a gun to your head, and you had to pick a basketball dude to play for you in a 1 on 1 match-- and if he wins you live, and if he doesn't --you're skinned alive and then broiled...

Who would you pick?

Prime Lebron, Prime Kobe, Prime Jordan, Prime Wilt?

For me, Kobe and Lebron would be immediately disqualified. I would NEVER discount a prime Jordan. Ever.

Lebron has no skills, he s all Body compared to mj
And Mj was the better athlete as well , jumping higher, bigger hands, faster, quicker

And most important he had this unmached specific Style in his Moves that gave him an elegante that made him so entertaining to watch

Basically he Looks better if he loses, than his cheap immitation Kobe Looks winning

And kobe is the closest thing to jordan because he tries so hard to immitate

In current Generation there is no top 50 player ever

Lebron may be the best today, but he s maybe Gerald Wilkins material

Jordan is close to a scratch golfer. Lebron supposedly went out once with a group of guys and shot over a 130. The guy couldn't hit the ball. Sure golf is a skill but almost any real athlete would have the competitive advantage to want to play well...Even if he/she didn't have the ability. a 130 is what your regular 10 year old kid who never played before would shoot.

Neither had calves

How can you be the best

One thing dude... if you read back, I said I think jordan is better at this time. If Lebron wins 7 or 8 chips then you have to look at it again

wow is this a serious post? Lebron if anything is in the wrong damn sport. That guy is a freak and could be a top guy in the nfl, at multiple positions. bigger stronger and faster...He's a better athlete than michael plain and simple.

...Yeah, I could see it...not bad

[BDsauce]

I would've guessed Achim Albrecht (Groink)

[closeline]

kobe has similar plays as jordan because they have exactly the same kind of body/somatotype. Makes perfect sense to reproduce what he excelled at when you have basically exactly the same kind of body/athleticism/explosivity.

Jordan did. it because it was him to invent this style

Kobe did. It because he was a jordan fan

I belive in his hart Kobe still wishes he would be mike or equaly as good, but he Knows he couldn t be because he shouldn t have just copied

Who's that little guy trying to go past Kareem?

Lol no way.  Basketball pays more, is somewhat easier on the body, and you can play 10-15 years if not more.

He's too tall to tackle up high, he'd get hit in the knees and that would be it

Was a comparison of Jordan vs Kobe.As for Jordan vs Lebron, Lebron beats him on 1 footed jumping, Jordan beats him on two, Jordan wins on lateral quickness, Jordan wins on Body control, end to end speed is close, Jordan is quicker, Jordan has a better first step, ability to take contact and finish is close too.Most impressive thing about Lebron as an athlete is the things he is able to do at his size, which leads to huge mismatches.

people give jordan a lot of love... but the tebow effect is being seen here.

Lebron has a superior body physically, and for his age, a superior body of work.

I know, "Jordan's a winner!" but Lebron is on a pace to clean his clock in every way.  I admire jordan WAY more than Lebron, who is lazy and entitled.  But LBJ has won more and achieved more at the same age.  And with modern medicine and the crappy way Jordan took care of himself, I'd bet lebron will be way more productive in his later years too.

How many clutch shots did Jordan pull off in games

if you had one person to have one shot for you to save your life Jordan has got to be the one

His speed and quickness has never been seen before at his size but don't confuse that with being quicker and faster than guys like Jordan and Iverson, who are quicker as they weigh much less.Difference with Lebron is with that speed and quickness is the weight and strength so he's like a freight train.

I'd probably take Big Shot Bob Horry or Derek Fisher, for ONE shot.  Or maybe Duncan.

Out of lebron or MJ, I'd probably pick younger Kobe, he was a cold dude lol. 

Lebron was a millionaire in high school. The minute the HS Bball season ended, he arrived in high school in a Humvee and 90 mil$ shoe deal.  He was on ESPN his junior year.  MJ was getting cut from the team in high school.  MJ is way more clutch, way more intense.  Lebron bit his nails and was scared of "pressure" from the so-scary basketball media lol.   MJ was banging girls at Hooters and gambling and living like a rock star while Lebron was reading and meditating to alleviate the "pressure".

MJ is a fcking MAN>  Lebron is a child.  But I give the edge to lebron, he's just build better and more effective on the floor.

LeBron has a four year head start.... can't compare their age directly
