DM72 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 One of the topics on this morning ESPN First Take was "Giving Michael Jordan a year to get into shape, who would win a one on one game between him and LeBron James?" Skip said Jordan woukd win. In their primes, I'm chosing Jordan everyday of the week and twice on Sundays, but in 2011, no 48 year old Jordan isn't beatin no LeBron James. IMO, Jordan probably couldn't hang with most role players. That's just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Well, actually Jordan would win. In a pressure situation, James never shoots. Even on a one on one, he'd be likely to pass the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuler74 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 No way James would win.....Jordan doesnt know cpr and and Lebron would choke to death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styx491 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 One on one, Lebron would win off of athleticism and youth. In a team game, Jordon would win because of his experience and basketball knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PleaseBlitz Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Im not a Wizards fan, so i dont have the hatred most do for LeBron. I do, however, think he is a douchebag to a certain extent. In a one on one game, I think Jordan would have a decent chance. He's a better outside shooter and 1000% more clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaconTheVillain Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Jordon would not beat Lebron 1 on 1 Lebron will never be as good as Jordan was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsHokieFan Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 25 year old vs a 48 year old in a game of one on one? I don't think Jordan would score a point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Im not a Wizards fan, so i dont have the hatred most do for LeBron. I do, however, think he is a douchebag to a certain extent.In a one on one game, I think Jordan would have a decent chance. He's a better outside shooter and 1000% more clutch. I'm tempted to pick Jordan for those two reasons. Hell, I'm 5'9" and in a high school b-ball camp I once won the one-on-one tournament simply because I was on fire shooting. I'd either shoot on the check or take one or two dribbles and pull up. So, Jordan has that chance plus the fact that he's much more clutch. Overall though, I think youth would win out. I'd be rooting for MJ though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Being serious, in a short game. Let's say to 20 points, Jordan could hang. In a long game that lasts a half hour or more you would think youth would win. Then again, I saw Lebron playing against ten year olds and all he did was lay some bricks and commit an offensive foul.

FanboyOf91 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 No way James would win.....Jordan doesnt know cpr and and Lebron would choke to death Yeah, the 4th quarter would be a problem for Lebron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticksboi05 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 LeBron would be up 60-0 till the 4th when MJ would storm back for a 62-60 win at the buzzer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebluefood Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 48 year old Jordan wouldn't lead no one to a championship. Sweet double negative. Looks like Jordan's leading everyone to championship. Awesome! In all seriousness, I think Jordan would at least make a game of it. LeBron might win on athleticism and youth, but the old man would leave LeBron stunned once or twice. ---------- Post added July-22nd-2011 at 05:07 PM ---------- A 48-year old underwear pitchman...

ixcuincle Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Extrapolating from Jordan's athletic prowess at 40 years old, he will likely destroy LeBron James Keep in mind no other 40 year old put up as many 40 pt games as Jordan What he did was legendary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew_Fl Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 You guys are forgetting that the athleticism MJ lost was only gained in old man strength. It's hard to go against someone with old man strength, and especially in one on one, all you need is a good fall away shot (check) and long range shot (check) to keep a more athletic person off balance.

Skin'Em84 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Of course Lebron would win, there are no 4th quarters in a 1 on 1 game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukes21 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Anyone who thinks a 48 year-old Jordan would not get destroyed by Lebron James is out of their mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
