IFWT_LeBron x Jordan 23

On Saturday at his Michael Jordan Flight School camp in Santa Barbara, California, the NBA legend did a Q & A and of course he was asked about LeBron James.  Since James entered the league, he’s been compared to Jordan in almost every way.  James has passed Jordan on a number of stats but he still has a ways to go before he could be considered the greatest of all time.  So if both guys were in their prime right now, who would win in a game of one-on-one?  Jordan was asked and he answered.

If I had the chance to go one-on-one with Steph Curry or LeBron, which one would I choose to go one-on-one with?

“Right now, or when I was in my prime? Right now? Buddy, I couldn’t beat — well, I’d go against [Stephen] Curry because I’m a little bit bigger than him. So I could kind of back him in. But LeBron is a little bit too big.”

This is the ESPN question. I know it’s going to be all over ESPN. [Note: He was right.]If I was in my prime, could I beat LeBron in a one-on-one game?

[Long pause in which the campers mutter/shout their opinions.]

No question!

[Huge applause.]

You can fast forward to the 4 minute mark.
