It’s not a secret that former NFL tight-end turned analyst Shannon Sharpe is an admirer of LeBron James’ game, often calling the King as the greatest player of all time, engaging in heated debates with his ‘Undisputed’ partner, Skip Bayless.
It was during a recent edition of FS1’s ‘Undisputed’ when Shannon discussed a hypothetical duel between LBJ and the widely considered GOAT Michael Jordan in a H-O-R-S-E clash, revealing how he believed the matchup would end up.
“LeBron is a better 3-point shooter. MJ shot 24% his last in year Chicago, even the great Lonzo Ball has a higher 3-point % than that! LeBron has more playoff buzzer beaters & clutch shots than MJ. In their prime, I’m taking Bron,” Sharpe said.

The NBA is reportedly studying the possibility of televising a H-O-R-S-E competition that would involve several high-profile players. The league suspended the season last March 12 and they haven’t stopped looking for alternatives for fans to see some basketball while the 2019/20 campaign is in a hiatus.
They already launched a players-only NBA 2K tournament, but that doesn’t appear to be the end for the front office. This is apparently in the early stages. Yet, the idea doesn’t sound so bad for a lot of people who will be more than delighted to see this.
As for Shannon Sharpe, in the case that MJ and LBJ clashed, the latter would get the victory.
