Michael Jordan Send a terrifing message to LeBron James today sayin…
It was like listening to God speak’ – LeBron James thought Michael Jordan was ‘walking on air’ during his first ever encounter with Bulls legend.
For those who lived through the Chicago Bulls dynasty of the 1990s, there is only one greatest of all time.
Michael Jeffrey Jordan.
Jordan and James are 1A and 1B when it comes to the pantheon of NBA legends.
But before LeBron was bulldozing his way to the basket and tomahawk slamming in transition, he was a fan of MJ just like the rest of us.
James once recalled the first time he ever met the six-time Finals MVP.
He was so in awe of His Airness that he swore he was levitating.
“I think it was my junior year in high school I go up to Chicago and I go to a gym called Hoops where he plays basketball in the summertime,” The King remembered.
“I didn’t know he was going to be there. But I [saw] him walking towards me and it was kind of like he was walking on air. I had to pinch myself. Is that Michael? He was like Black Jesus to me.”
James was already well-known in basketball circles around the country but was still some years away from being ordained as ‘The Chosen One’ by Sports Illustrated.
Back then, LeBron was just a high school kid who idolized MJ and had dreams of making it to the pros.
The Lakers star explained that he was in Chicago with close friend and manager Maverick Carter when he met his basketball hero again.
