Next on the eternal Michael Jordan vs. LeBron James debate, a word from Jordan himself.
Jordan, who can still hit a buzzer beater at 52, entertained a Q&A at Michael Jordan Flight School. He answered a number of burning questions, including who'd he want to coach between Phil Jackson and Dean Smith (it was Smith) and the biggest trash talker he played against (Larry Bird, which isn't that much of surprise).
But you're here because of the Jordan-centric questions. This was the big one: If Jordan was in his prime, could he beat James in a one-on-one match? It isn't in Jordan's nature to concede anything, so of course he said he'd beat LeBron: "No question." Jordan did say he knows James has a size advantage in an earlier question, but the logic here seems to be that he has a being Michael Jordan advantage.
Also, on if the all-time Bulls squad can beat the all-time Lakers squad, Jordan also said yes: "We'd kill 'em." Jordan never changes.
