Watch Michael Jordan say he could’ve beaten LeBron James
During jury selection Tuesday, Dominick’s lawyers questioned would-be jurors about whether Jordan’s stardom would tilt their findings in his favor. “You know this is an ESPN question”.
“I went to college and got my degree in cultural geography”.
Looking at both their games, taking into consideration that LeBron is on a different level physically as well, I’m not so sure that Jordan would beat LeBron. “No question!”
However, if given the option to choose between Stephen Curry and James, his Airness said he’d pick Curry for a one-on-one. “I can’t foul out”. Jordan is still heavily regarded as the best player of all time, but any time his name is mentioned with LeBron James it’s obvious that there is going to be a lot of uproar. “Phil was lucky because I was taught the game by Dean Smith“, Jordan said.
Jordan is widely considered to be the best basketball player of all-time, winning six rings and dominating the 1990’s despite sitting out most of two years with a brief retirement.
Jordan also shared that during the 1992 Dream Team practices, him, Scottie Pippen, Chris Mullin, Larry Bird and Patrick Ewing “killed” a five that included Magic Johnson, Clyde Drexler, Charles Barkley and David Robinson. “Good trash”.
Michael Jordan always wanted to be on TV, but he didn’t picture himself being featured in the sports segment of newscasts. I just felt like he was talking. “It’s a debate. The thing is, we would never know”, he said. “You guys decide”.
“This is the ESPN question”, Jordan said.
“Not counting myself”, he said.
Many gave their opinion on who would win the fictional showdown, except one of the intricate parts to the game: Michael Jordan. Dominick’s says this case is all about fairness. I like Kobe, we talk a lot, I hope he comes back healthy.
It’s not surprising to hear him say that he could have beaten LeBron in his prime. His answer was everything you’d expect it to be.
