Who would win?

I think MJ is currently the GOAT. However, by winning more rings, I think Lebron could pass him.

With that being said, Lebron is faster, stronger, and more athletic. I would take Lebron in a game of one on one against MJ.

I'm sure this thread has been done before, but Collin Cowherd was talking about it this morning. He basically said if you remove the names from each player and were told Player A is 6'6/220 LBS and Player B is 6'8/275 LBS; and that Player B is bigger, stronger, faster, and more athletic, you would almost have to choose Player B (Lebron).

Thoughts?

This thread will contain a lot of bickering and nothing will get accomplished.

one on one, lebron would win just due to the physical attribues. However, MJ is still better than lebron and it really isn't a debate at this point. In 10 years maybe, in 2013 no, just no.

one on one i take MJ.

though, if i had the first pick in a draft, and i had to choose between the two, im taking lebron.

no other player in the history of the league can play and defend all 5 positions like he does. fuuuark the king boys

Jordan, more versatile scorer and superior defender

Jordan

Let's not forget how great of a scorer/defender MJ was.

I think Lebron would bang him up in the post though

It'd be close, but I say MJ. Perimeter shooting would win it. I'd argue that MJ was more athletic too.

1) Have you ever seen MJ play, or did you watch a bunch of tapes from 1998? MJ was a freak athlete in his early days to his early prime.

2) The reason MJ is the GOAT is because his competitiveness is unmatched. He hated and wanted to destroy his opponent. He always had something to prove. He was absolutely ruthless. He would be hell bent to obliterate LeBron.

At their prime LJ would back him down and score easily. MJ would have more trouble scoring on LJ therefore LJ wins. IMO
