Floyd Mayweather said Lebron James would beat Michael Jordan 1 on 1

As far as prime athleticly....I concur. Michael isn't stopping LeBron from bulldozing to the lane. It'd be close though.

 

Nothing foolish about Mayweather's statement. A foolish statement would be that Pac would beat Jordan one on one.

 

Well that's an opinion. I don't know enough about basketball to really comment but isn't that like saying Golvokin takes at SRR at middleweight?

 

Lil floydie will be No. 58

 

This, end thread.

lebron thrives in a team game, jordan is the ultimate one on one player.
go figure

 

Nobody wins that match, given that they both have the same stamina. Jordan can't stop Lebron from scoring and Lebron can't stop Jordan from scoring.

 

Exactly. I have no idea what Floyd said, but Jordan wins that matchup. It's honestly not even up for debate.

 

This

 

depends if we are dealing w modern referees jordan would get fouled out, lebron would be up by 3 points at the time of the stoppage after flopping all over the court like a fish playing soccer, he would also have gotten the referee to give jordan a flagrant technical foul for giving lebron a hard look. if they used old school refs jordan would beat lebron fair and square.

 

Jordan is the best 1-on-1 player that ever lived. His game was BUILT for one-on-one.

Bron isn't really a one-on-one player.

Young Jordan embarrasses Lebron one-on-one.

 

I agree with this. james is a monster

 

how is bron not a onw on one player?? are you crazy?? when he wants to, nobody can stop him. same for Jordan.

I would lean towards James. hes WAYYY bigger then Jordan and that matters one on one for sure.

 

Lebron can't square up and beat Jordan off the dribble
Lebrun can back mike down all day long, using his size and height

Mike beats lebron off the dribble
Mike can't back lebron down
