"Force LeBron James left 9 out of 10 times": Michael Jordan admitted to studying the Lakers supersta

“Force LeBron James left 9 out of 10 times”: Michael Jordan admitted to studying the Lakers superstar and points out the flaws in his game

Michael Jordan lays out a couple tips and tricks needed to slow down LeBron James as he admits to studying the Lakers superstar.

The debate on who the greatest player in NBA history ramped up with LeBron James winning his 4th championship in 2020, with several fans claiming he’s on par with Michael Jordan and others saying he’s surpassed him. The two legends have never talked to one another about it but have spoken about the ‘GOAT’ debate on several occasions.

Michael Jordan, time and time again, has said that he prefers not to say who he believes is the greatest of all time. This is due to his belief that it would be a disservice to the legends who came before him like Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, and Bill Russell.

“I study him [LeBron James]. When LeBron goes right, he usually drives; when he goes left, he usually shoots a jumper. It has to do with his mechanics and how he loads the ball for release. So, if I have to guard him, I’m gonna push him left 9 out 10 times. If he goes right he’s going to the hole and I can’t stop him. So, I ain’t letting him go right.”

Then again, James couldn't guard Jordan.

Ones too strong and big and athletic, the other is even more athletic and quicker.

James can shoot over Jordan and definitely post him up, Jordan can simply drive by or create space with quickness for a shot.

Literal one on one, no idea who wins in their prime.
