“Nicely, I might go towards Stephen Curry as a result of I am slightly bit greater than him so I might again him in, however LeBron’s slightly bit too massive”, Jordan answered.

James is widely recognized as the best player in the National Basketball Association today, and on many occasions has been called “The Next Michael Jordan” or has been put in a hypothetical one-on-one contest with MJ by those who want to determine who from the two was truly better.

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.

Watch the viral video above. Both guys are/were all-time great basketball players and it is impossible to know what would have happened in this hypothetical game but Jordan might just be the favorite.

Never one to shy away from speaking his mind, Michael Jordan took a moment during his Flight School basketball camp in California this past weekend to field questions from campers. “Teamed up with my awesome coaching staff, join us for 5 fun-filled days of learning and competition, where I hope to meet, work, and create lifelong memories with you”, said Michael Jordan.

“Right now, or when I was in my prime?”

“I felt fine. I felt accomplished. I still love him like a brother”.

“I’ve been very fortunate to speak to my muses”, Bryant said in the interview. Although these kind of debates involving retired players create a lot of discussion with passionate fans and players going at one another, there’s no way to ever know the outcome, but a potential outcome was simulated regardless.
