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

Bron is a puss. Built Miami by screwing Clev then when things get hard he bolts. That is one freaking fragile mind. No wonder Floyd identifies with him lol.

 

No. if that was true, dirk nowitski would be a scrub in todays nba

 

LeBron couldn't mentality handle Jordan, let alone physically.

I'd laugh if they asked for Jordan's comment on the matter and he replied, "Well, Pacquiao would beat Mayweather."

I feel like that is the Michael Jordan thing to say, haha.

 

lol Since Dirk is still playing, I consider him a modern player. Anyway, I guess you agree that the old time fighters were generally superior to this modern, unskilled lot then.

 

It's a soft league now. LeBron whines if someone touches his elbow. He's so protected by the refs, he wouldn't be able to hang in Jordan's time. Jordan was driving into the paint where monsters awaited him, without the refs to protect him.

The players of Jordan's time were so much tougher. Barkley even said the league's become so soft, he can barely watch it anymore.

 

Forcing Jordan to hit fades is already a testament to Lebron's D.

And again, if a 270 pound Lebron could hand check like Joe Dunars, beating LeBron off the dribble is no guarantee.

I love Jordan too, but y'all sleeping on how good LeBron really is. This is no sure thing for Jordan.

 

Jordan, like every other 'league's best player' before him, got EVERY DAYUM call available. Only someone who DIDN'T actually watch the games would say different.

 

I remember when Magic and Bird were taking a picture with Jordan for the "Dream Team". The photographer told Bird to get closer to Jordan. Magic said " Don't get too close, Larry. You may get a foul called on you". lol

 

dude , its mj. we are talking about prime mj whoom literally went one on five and still scored. even with dumars, isiah, lambeer, mahorn and rodman resorting to dirty tactics, couldn't stop him from dropping 40, 50+ on them. But somehow lebron can stop him by himself?

 

Just about. What Magic said was, "If you touch Michael it's a foul." And they all laughed.

It's true. Stars always got that treatment, and Jordan more than most. The famous ref Earl Strom used to call it "making the pro call."

 

difference being jordan would not throw himself on the floor gripping his leg and grimacing in pain every 2 minutes.

 

What makes you think that? Both are considered among the best defensive players of their eras apart from their attacking capabilities.

 

When was the last time Bron scored 63pts against a hof team in the playoffs without help?

 

Anyway, Jordan has the highest PPG of all time in the NBA - and that's even if you include his late comeback for the wizards when he was pushing 40. That little stat tells you a lot about how good he really was.

 

exactly. that 86 celtic team is widely considered a top 5 team ever. And a 2nd year jordan, coming back from 7 months inactive due to injury, torched the celtics so bad , larry said that famous quote " that was God playing basketball disguised as mj"
