If Jordan and Lebron played 1-on-1 10 times, Lebron wins all 10

How about an all-time two on two competition? Michael and Scotty, Klay and Steph, Larry and DJ(Kevin?), Majic and James, Cousy and Russell, West and Chamberlain, Big O and Kareem, Wow! The possibilities are endless but unfortunately , impossible to judge in this lifetime - but what a tournament. PS Lebron is an awesome competitor but not as good a competitor as Michael.

The level of play is way higher now than in the 90's; Jordan wouldn't be near as dominant and LeBron would win most, if not all, of the time.

How big was that comeback of yours when JC reverse jinxed you? Wasn't it literally somewhere around 40 points?

I think 38 at the end of the 3rd and then Memphis covered the 7

Even if that was true basketball isn't 1 on 1. Lebron couldn't match MJ and his will and clutch ability. His ability to make a team better. I hated MJ but he owns Lebron

If they are playing make and take - Jordan wins all 10 - several of the games Lebron will not get the ball back once he misses - Lebron is never - not in one million attemps - gonna score 10 straight buckets on Jordan - if it's not make and take then Lebron might get a win 2 out of 10 games - I have Lebron a top 5 all-time player - probably the best all around player - can't think of anyone that was as good as Lebron is at so many aspects - but he ain't Jordan - just go by Bobby Knight - before Jordan played one NBA game - Knight said Jordan was the greatest basketball player he had ever seen

I watched Lue call time out with on that last possession - he looked Kyrie in the eye and in no uncertain terms - told him, you do not let Lebron touch that fucken ball - you are taking the shot no matter what - and Lebron went off to his wing spot on the side - and Lebron being a team player and incredibly smart knew it was the best chance of winning

Most of the best NBA players could score easily in a game of 1 on 1 against one another. There is no help D, the floor is huge. Have you ever seen great players practice? They don't miss.

This must've been one of those stupid ESPN debates at one point that people just ate up since you can't be wrong.

Impossible to compare eras but it is something people do for fun. Don't think it is a dumb debate but when comparing the best of the best you are right you can't really be wrong

Dude MJ wayyy faster .. once it gets late Lebron will default to long jumpers. Im going with Lebron winning 1 or 2 to start but then not able to make adjustement to MJs adjustemnt .. out smarted , and out hearted .. any shot MJ misses he probley beats LBJ to the ball

a lot of 2nd chance baskets


okay, maybe 9 if jordan gets hot shooting.....but who are we fooling....

i'd still want MJ over lebron taking the last shot....but Lebron would physically beat jordan down 1-on-1....he is bigger, faster, stronger, and better defensively

the physical advantage that you think Lebron has is because of mass / bulk .. the difference in physical ness is not as etreme
as you thin it is ..
