Michael Jordan has been keeping busy at his annual Flight School basketball camp and His Airness spent part of the weekend taking questions from those in attendance.
Jordan answered questions ranging from which coach he’d rather play one game for (Dean Smith) to whether he thought that five greatest Bulls could beat Shaq’s five greatest Lakers (his answer was classic-MJ: “I felt like he was just talking. It’s a debate, the thing is that we would never know. I think we would have killed them.”)
Eventually, MJ was asked whether he’d rather go one-on-one Stephen Curry or LeBron James right now. Jordan picked Curry because he’d at least have some size on the Warriors guard:
“I couldn’t beat… Well, I’d go against Stephen Curry because I’m a little bit bigger than him so I could kind of back into him. LeBron is too big.”
Of course, seeing as how Michael Jordan seemed to be saying that LeBron could beat him right now (a sane answer that only seems sensational because Michael Jordan is the type of guy who still thinks that he can go one-on-one with anyone on his own basketball team), Jordan was later asked if he thought that he could beat LeBron if he was in his prime. Jordan’s answer probably didn’t surprise anyone:
“No question.”
