Michael Jordan and LeBron James have been compared a lot by fans, players, and media members alike. These two are considered the greatest players in NBA history, and many people have decided to make a case for each of them as the greatest player of all time.
This has been more common in recent years, but it seems like we’ve found the answer to who is the better player, and more importantly, who will win if these two legends clash on the court. It’s well known that Jordan and LeBron once played together when the King was still young and MJ was already old. At the time, they didn’t have competition, winning all their matches. Unfortunately, there’s no footage of those scrimmages, but witnesses claim it was incredible to watch these two playing together.
LeBron himself claimed they didn’t lose a single game when playing together, showing how awesome it would have been to see them playing at the same time in the NBA. The years went by and James and Jordan saw each other again, in 2013, after the King won his second NBA championship with the Miami Heat, recording a season where he almost got the triple crown.
During that summer, he met Michael Jordan at the Heat facilities, with Pat Riley arranging a meeting between the two legends. A 50-year-old Jordan would challenge prime LeBron to a 1-on-1 game that a lot of people would have loved to watch. Talking about that incredible duel, His Airness didn’t mince words, and true to his style, enjoyed the sweet taste of his victory against LeBron.
“LeBron came in there not knowing I was about to challenge him. When he saw me with Pat [Riley], he was surprised. I congratulated him for the championship, but explained that I wasn’t there just to be nice. After a couple of words, we agreed to play a little pickup game. I tried to teach him some manners and decided he wasn’t going to go to five points. The game was over and I easily beat him. Final score 21-3. I dominated him even though I was 50 years old. That day, he learned a big lesson and who the real GOAT is,” the six-time NBA champion stated.
After many years of hearing about the GOAT debate and how LeBron is better than him, Jordan said ‘enough’ and revealed details of an unseen match with the King. Mike dismantled the then NBA MVP, Finals MVP, and champion in his prime, which makes this feat even more incredible. The most interesting part of this is what MJ said after, revealing LeBron’s reaction…
Happy April Fools Day!!!
