Former American basketball star Michael Jordan has said that although he could have beat current star LeBron James in a one-on-one basketball game when he was in his prime, he is not sure about James' American teammate Kobe Bryant.
According to CBS News, Jordan said that there is a long list of NBA players he would have liked to have played one-on-one including Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Julius Erving, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, Bryant and James.
However, the basketball player-turned entrepreneur also said that apart from Bryant, he would not have lost against any of the players mentioned above, adding that Bryant would have stolen all of his moves.
Jordan, who was listed as 6-foot-6 and 213 pounds during his prime, averaged 30.1 points, 6.2 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game during his 15 seasons in the NBA, the report added.
