Michael Jordan discusses his list of players he would have liked to play one-one-one, how he schooled O.J. Mayo at his camp, and how the game was much more physical when he played.

Michael Jordan believes he could have beaten LeBron James in a game of one-on-one when he was in his prime.

He's not sure about Kobe Bryant.

In a video promoting the NBA 2K14 video game that is being released Tuesday, Jordan said there's a long list of players he would've liked to have played one-on-one -- Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Julius Erving, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, Bryant and James, who is on the cover of this year's game

I agree. LeBron would get flustered that Jordan didn't want to joke around and have fun. Kobe would be a killer and wouldn't even say good game afterwards

If you watch the video, he seemed sarcastic to me and wanted to get a little friendly shot at Kobe in there.

Whatever Michael has to say to keep himself from irrelevance.

Michael Jordan is a horrible evaluator of talent. That's why he sucks arse as a GM.

LeBron would be a much tougher opponent than Kobe.

Jordan always likes to prop Kobe up. I'm not exactly sure why. My guess is that it is because Kobe's game is very similar to MJ's, and people always make that comparison. So he sees Kobe as a younger version of himself. He's kind of passed Kobe the torch as his successor.

What he said was he's not sure about Kobe, because he steals all of his moves.

The GOAT has spoken. Now let's listen to how 'wrong' he is by those that can't even dribble.
