LeBron James: I feel like my best assets work perfectly with Michael Jordan

LeBron James believes he could have played with Michael Jordan.

Per ESPN, "Me personally, the way I play the game — team first — I feel like my best assets work perfectly with Mike," James said in a video released Monday on Uninterrupted’s YouTube channel . "Mike is an assassin. When it comes to playing the game of basketball, scoring the way he scored the ball, [then] my ability to pass, my ability to read the game plays and plays and plays in advance."

"I saw the things [ Scottie Pippen ] was able to do with Mike. I just think it would’ve been a whole ‘nother level," James said. "Pip was one of my favorite players … It would’ve been a whole ‘nother level with me being a point forward, with me being that point forward alongside of him during those Chicago runs."

James met Jordan and played in a pickup game with him in 2001, when LeBron was 16 years old, as Jordan was preparing to make his final comeback. "The dude looked like Jesus Christ to me. He was black Jesus to me," James said of the experience. But they didn’t play on the same team that day at Hoops Gym in Chicago.
