okay, maybe 9 if jordan gets hot shooting.....but who are we fooling....

i'd still want MJ over lebron taking the last shot....but Lebron would physically beat jordan down 1-on-1....he is bigger, faster, stronger, and better defensively

you forget that Jordan would probbaly steal the ball from bron bron about 30 % of the time--
this is probably 50 / 50

i don't know....i think lebron is a MUCH better ball handler than MJ was....i have faint memories of him dribbling it and chasing it a few feet after inconsistent dribbles.....

i could be wrong but i think lebron is faster AND a better ball handler....i think jordan is the one that gets his pocket picked more

Jordan's competitiveness is bordering on a sickness, so no way he loses 9 out of 10. 50/50 at worst.

sorry to say this sir -- but I think you're wrong on all counts here - -Jordan's all around game ( on both sides of the ball ) would be too much for bron bron - -
I'm thinking MJ wins 6 or 7 out of 10.

I cannot argue with jordan's competitiveness.....his hunger at 50 is more than lebron had his whole life

athletes as a whole are so much more athletic now.....i think MJ athletically (not skills or anything else) would be above-average in today's NBA....lebron is #1....

Jordan could not guard Chris Paul or Dwight Howard....he could probabaly guard everything in between.....lebron can guard EVERYTHING

This has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever read on this forum.

Magic Johnson actually addressed this question today and said:

Earlier in the week, Johnson issued some statements on his Twitter account in which he sided with Jordan in comparisons with James as the better individual player.
"Easy answer MJ all day, every day!" he tweeted.

In a follow-up post, Johnson tweeted: "If MJ and LeBron played 1-on-1 10 times, MJ would win all 10. MJ is the ultimate 1-on-1 player!"

Skip Bayless: Michael would absolutely destroy LeBron 10 out of 10 or 15 out of 15.

The killer instinct. The "want" to have the ball. In what setting would that be more crucial than 1-on-1?

I used to work in an Italian barber shop/salon in boca raton,,, and we got on the discussion of who would win in a fight, mike tyson or ALi ,, now I said Tyson of course,, lol, you would of thought I pizzed on the italian flag?? lol,,, the Old barbers in there tore me a enw one,, lol,, but fundamentally Ali without a doubt is the sickest all around Heavy weight fighter of all time,,, lol, but Power?? Tyson would have him out in the first round,, the point with this story,, is similar I think, we all love to compare ERAs, who was stronger/Faster,, and the honest to god truth as I have lived through MJ and Lebron,,, MJ is sooooooo much faster than Lebron,, LJ is a bit larger, No way in hell faster,,, MJ gets 6 wins,, LJ 4,,, MJs will to win and speed would crush him,,

Nike has done a great job of making mj a godly type figure.
If they were both 18 and in the nba draft I would take lj without a doubt.
