LeBron James on playing one-on-one against Michael Jordan: 'I'm going to take myself versus anybody'

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Michael Jordan, known as much for his high-flying dunks as his trash talking, didn't hesitate when talking about his chances of beating LeBron James in a game of one-on-one if both were in their primes.

"This is the ESPN question," Jordan responded at his 20th Michael Jordan Flight School in California. "I know it's going to be all over ESPN. If I was in my prime, could I beat LeBron in a one-on-one game? No question."

James was posed the same inquiry during an interview with the Today Show's Willie Geist, offering a different opinion on the hypothetical.
