Michael Jordan has stated that the would pick Kobe Bryant over LeBron James if he had to, YouWager experts recently learned.

The former professional basketball player, considered the greatest player of all-time by many, said it would be a difficult decision between Bryant and James. Even so, Bryant’s five titles with the Los Angeles Lakers compared to just one for James with the Miami Heat, would be what would ultimately help him decide.

Without a doubt, Bryant has been playing for a lot longer than James to gather those titles. Bryant is in his 17th NBA season while James is in his 10th.

The 28 year-old James, in the middle of a record run where he has put together at least 30 points and 60 percent shooting in six straight games, did not really care about Jordan’s pick.

Jordan, native of New York, won six championships with the Chicago Bulls and was named NBA MVP five times over his celebrated career.
