LeBron James on Michael Jordan: Our games would have complemented each other well

LeBron James: When you talk about inspiration, there was nobody more inspiring to me than Michael Jordan. For me, I think our games would have complemented each other well. MJ was a flat-out scorer. He had a scorers mentality if I had to pick him. But I know I can’t pick him because I know how social media works. You’re gonna be like, “Oh, you want to play with Michael Jordan, too? You get to play with everybody else. God damn it.” I didn’t ask the question. I’m only answering it, guys. I didn’t ask the question. But MJ was inspiration. Penny Hardaway was inspiration to me. Grant Hill was inspiration to me growing up. Like that point forward Scottie Pippen, that point forward. Guys like Penny, like Grant Hill, like Scottie, those guys kind of inspired me because I kind of wanted to be that point forward. I can see the headline already. LeBron wants to play with Michael Jordan. Like, I see it already. That’s weird. Don’t be weird. Don’t be weird. Don’t be weird. I was going to say Kobe Bryant, but I actually played with Kobe in the Olympics, so rest his soul. Great Kobe. Great Kobe.
