I dont think he could beat Lance, MKG, or Hendo. Kemba is our best 1v1 player but MJ could exploit him in the post so I dont know how that would go. I have no idea how 1v1's against big guys would work.

He's already beaten MKG.

Give Jordan the ball first in a game of 1 on 1 against any of our perimeter players and he will win more often than not.

He's already beaten MKG.

When he was 19 and couldnt shoot at all.

He'd still beat MKG right now. Its kind of like how the old guys at a local Y always annihilate the more athletic younger kids.

Hed have to hit 11 straight mid-range fade aways against Lance and MKG, which isnt impossible or anything, but I think he would struggle against anyone he couldnt bully for position.

If MKG beat him, do you think MKG would explode with confidence?

If MJ beat him, do you think MJ would talk so much trash that MKG would revert to rookie form?

Jordan would be inside MKGs head as soon as he stepped on the court. Its not I think MJ is a better player at 52 than MKG is right now because that's just insane. But playing the GOAT and the owner of your team 1 on 1 trying to impress would be nerve wrecking.

MKG isn't just "an athletic younger kid" either. He's an elite perimeter defender who has three years of NBA experience under his belt. Except for Roberts, Daniels, and maybe PJ, I don't think MJ beats any of them one-on-one

You guys say what you will. I'm pretty confident if MJ and MKG played 10 games of 1 on 1 Jordan would win at least 3. No one's stopping that fade away.

Hairston gets unglued against high school players trash talking him. Jordan would have him going on a drug binge after their game.

MJ is **** 52 years old. MJ isn't hitting it every single time with present day MKG defending him.

MKG definitely isn't scoring every time on Jordan either. As Jordan said he doesn't want to ruin his players confidence and embarrass them. So it won't happen anyway.

Lance and MJ going at it would be entertaining. No way that game doesnt get borderline violent.
