And the answer is Lebron.

Jump shots are irrelevant. All these best ever offensive players are virtually unstoppable in an actual 1 on 1 situation.

The difference is Lebron is the best we've ever seen at driving to the basket relentlessly and scoring. Anyone who thinks otherwise, prayers sent.

Both players would score at a high rate, but lebron would be more unstoppable in the paint and he'd win.


But that's 1 on 1, which is completely different than 5 on 5, obviously. As of right now, lebron has never been able to sustain the production/efficiency MJ has. But if he keeps playing like 2013 Lebron, well...

Jordan (and Kobe for that matter) would break Lebron's legs before letting him win one on one. Lebron doesn't have that fire and hatred of losing that Jordan and Kobe possess. Either would be able to frustrate Lebron.

Frick, Jordan would probably just stand under the basket, beg Lebron to shoot a jumper and then tackle him if he came to the rim.

I just think there is too many miles on peak Lebron before to hit Jordan's career benchmarks (frick titles and that garbage). I think he will have about two more seasons at this incredible level. He will be really fricking good after that, but I would think his numbers will start to fade a little.

Ok, this is fricking stupid. Lebron is good at driving and dunking. Jordan was the best at driving and scoring. BIG difference.
