The NBA world would have loved to see LeBron James and Michael Jordan play against each other. Surprisingly it actually did happen, but it was when James was a teenager, and it was also a pickup game.

LeBron James, during an episode of the New Heights podcast with former NFL star Jason Kelce and current NFL star Travis Kelce, confirmed the longstanding rumor that, as a teenager, he did indeed play in a now-infamous pickup game in Chicago with six-time NBA champion Michael Jordan and other—at the time—NBA veterans.

Michael Jordan was asked to select his ideal starting five in NBA history. Predictably, he included himself in the lineup alongside four other legends. However, his selections raised eyebrows as he chose to omit LeBron James and Kobe Bryant.

Both Jordan and James have engaged with politics throughout their careers, with 'Black Mamba' speaking out about the “ingrained racism” of the United States after his retirement, while James has often criticised Trump and the racial injustice in the US.

Hawks 110 (21-19), Bulls 94 (18-23): Atlanta was without Trae Young, Jalen Johnson and Dominique Wilkins, but Keaton Wallace (27 points, six rebounds, six assists, four steals) led the Hawks over a Bulls team that shot 6 of 27 from deep and turned it over 20 times.

Scottie Pippen has recently made waves with controversial opinions about his former Chicago Bulls teammate, Michael Jordan, as well as LeBron James. Now, NBA icon Carmelo Anthony is speaking out, making his own feelings clear.

You can’t ask me who’s the GOAT between LeBron and Michael. Neither one of them are GOATs. They both won differently. You can’t put them at the top of the pinnacle.

Anthony Davis and LeBron James are laser-focused on winning another championship, driven by legacy, Lakers pride, and the Michael Jordan debate.
