MJ: I could beat LeBron 1-on-1 in my prime

Ray wasn't always just a spot up shooter. Ray is a better defender and rebounder.

Much more efficient scorer?
Bigger body on defense?

Reggie was a rail.

I remember those days very well (specifically Milwaukee). I actually think Ray became a better scorer when he became more of a spot-up guy.

....somebody's turned up.

If you don't care for my commentary, hit the ignore button. It's the best thing you can do at this point.
 
LeBron ran a 4.6 40 as a HS junior. I'd say he's faster just by looking on the basketball court. Look at some of his chasedown blocks.

4.6 in hs is more like a 4.8, I'm sure he's faster now, but MJ ran a 4.37 reportedly. Lol But no LBJ is not faster. Remember playing your dad? I was faster, quicker, more athletic, yet I lost 1097 straight games to win. He would just old man knowledge and mentally had me beat every game. MJ would be the dad.

Side note: when I finally beat my dad 15-4, he never played me again. I'm still down 1,096 games back. Lol
 
My guess is the over 30 crowd will say MJ, the under 30 will say LBJ. The real answer is Larry Johnson, Grandmama would beast these fools!


Also to everyone that listed players in the MJ era and didn't mention The Glove kiss my azz. :)

The under 20 crowd will say MJ because of the mystique. They never saw him play but just know that he's the goat.
 
I could care less* who would win between MJ and LBJ, all I know is I am quite certain I would/could square up any of you fools in this thread one-on-one anytime, any place.

Good point. MJ stories will be funny here in about 10-15 years, people's legends get ridiculous. Wilt is a prime example, killed a mountain lion with his bare hands, out benched Arnold, slept with all of north America. MJ will probably end up delivering a baby while winning the dunk contest, fought off an alien invasion, and could jump up.and stand on the backboard.

Except Wilt really did sleep with all of North America
