Hey Tim. Ok, I'm VERY curious about your prediction. These 4 guys are good,
but which of them has a legitimate chance of beating MJ one on one??? The
only one in my opinion with a small chance may be Payton, and that is going
out on a limb. MJ, in my mind, is the greatest one on one player to ever
play the game. And he hasn't lost too many steps in his game basically. He
may not be the best team player, but I would take him against any of those
guys every time on the court. Anybody else have any opinions? I know a lot
of us aren't MJ fans, but I will give him the credit he deserves.
