    If I took that survey, I'd troll it too.

    With both of them in their primes I think it'd be a close game (Lebron's size would be hard for MJ to guard).

    So right now with MJ out of shape and Lebron in his prime, I'd be shocked if Jordan could score a single point.

    MJ would easily win in a game of proper grammar and mom's that don't get ****ed by Delonte West.

    In their primes, I like MJ. If they played today, I like MJ only because Mike would trash talk Lebron so bad he would fold before the game started and say he had to run home to check on his mom because Delonte was spotted in town.

    Despite the talk of Lebron being bigger and stronger than everyone else, his game really depends on speed and explosiveness. Look how much he has declined recently as he has aged but should still be in his prime. He can no longer carry a team like he used to and I'm pretty sure he isn't smaller or weaker than he was a few years ago but he sure as hell doesn't have the other-worldly quickness or explosiveness he had in the past. Point being, he isn't going to take prime MJ in the post and punish him with strength and no way he gets past prime MJ off the dribble so unless he catches fire on pull up jumpers he doesn't get pat the GOAT.

    I'm guessing anyone who voted for MJ was either just trying to make an anti Lebron statement or missed the part about "right now".

    Prime MJ dismantles Lebron in almost every way. But today's MJ might not score a point if Lebron is fully engaged. It would be a massacre.

    I dunno, maybe it has something to do with 4 straight Finals runs? Miami basically gave him the Riley treatment and played him almost 40 mins per game to ensure wins, so it's not surprising LBJ is getting worn down.

    I think he could actually.

    Keep in mind Kobe had negative win shares and like a .370 TS% this past year.
