Look, nobody is going to deny greatness and that’s exactly what Michael Jordan embodied. The man was and is forever a basketball legend. But he’s 52-years-old and has no chance in a one-on-one game against LeBron James.
That’s not to say MJ couldn’t handle himself, but he routinely has played members of the Charlotte Hornets and Washington Wizards in practice during his tenure as owner and lost. He also won a lot of games too, but we’re not talking a 27-year-old Michael Jordan here. He’s not beating LeBron James if they played 1-on-1.
Of course, if you’re ESPN’s Skip Bayless you have to make your over the top, outrageous point known, which is why he obviously feels Michael Jordan would wreck LeBron James if they played each other.
If MJ got in shape he’d beat LeBron 1 on 1 on heart, will, killer instinct, all-time clutchness. LeBron would crumble vs his idol.

This is a clear bait and troll on the part of Skip Bayless, who to his credit, is living up to the image and character he’s created.
There’s no way, as an educated basketball fan, you’d think Michael Jordan in his current state could beat LeBron James in a one-on-one game of basketball.
Skip Bayless going to Skip Bayless.
