In a recent appearance, LeBron James surprised the audience by revealing which NBA legend he would have chosen as his ideal team mate if he had the opportunity. At 40 years old, the Los Angeles Lakers star did not hesitate to mention his childhood idol: the legendary Michael Jordan, a symbol of the Chicago Bulls and an undisputed figure in basketball history.
"When it comes to inspiration, there was no one more inspiring to me than Michael Jordan," LeBron declared. "I believe our playing styles would have complemented each other well. MJ was a natural scorer. He had a scorer's mentality."
However, James was aware of the possible repercussions of his words on social media, where any comment can be taken out of context. That's why he added with humor and some resignation: "If I had to choose him, I would, but I know I can't because I know how social media works. You (expletive) are going to say, 'Oh, you also want to play with Michael Jordan? You've played with everyone else, (expletive).'"
Finally, he clarified that he was not the one who initiated the conversation: "I didn't ask the question. I'm just answering it, guys. I didn't ask the question."
