Michael Jordan believes he would beat LeBron James in a 1-on-1 game if they played in their primes, and he may be right. Jordan was a better scorer than LeBron, and that gives him a huge advantage, but LeBron is stronger than Jordan was, and he is taller, so he may be able to use that size and strength to overpower Jordan.
The question of who would win a 1-on-1 game where both players are in their primes is definitely debatable, but one question that is not debatable is this one that Public Policy Polling asked NBA fans:
If LeBron James and Michael Jordan played one on one in the year 2015, who do you think would win?
Obviously, LeBron would beat Jordan. Jordan is 52 years old now, and he would get smoked by LeBron. LeBron James is much faster and stronger than the older Jordan, and he would blow him out. Most fans agree that LeBron would win, but some still think Jordan can beat the best player in the NBA right now. Here’s the results:
LeBron James 54% ………………………………………….
Michael Jordan 34% ………………………………………..
Not sure 12%
The 34% of fans that chose Michael Jordan over LeBron James did not make the right choice, and they should probably rethink their answer to the question.
