Per ESPN<\/a>, \u201cMe personally, the way I play the game \u2014 team first \u2014 I feel like my best assets work perfectly with Mike,\u201d James said in a video released Monday on Uninterrupted\u2019s YouTube channel . \u201cMike 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.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cI saw the things [ Scottie Pippen ] was able to do with Mike. I just think it would\u2019ve been a whole \u2018nother level,\u201d James said. \u201cPip was one of my favorite players \u2026 It would\u2019ve been a whole \u2018nother level with me being a point forward, with me being that point forward alongside of him during those Chicago runs.\u201d
\nJames 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. \u201cThe dude looked like Jesus Christ to me. He was black Jesus to me,\u201d James said of the experience. But they didn\u2019t play on the same team that day at Hoops Gym in Chicago.<\/p>\n
