The Big Diesel has weighed in on the argument of the summer. Who would win in a one-on-one match in their primes: LeBron James or Michael Jordan? Not surprisingly, Shaquille O'Neal is siding with the Greatest Of All Time.
"Mike," said O'Neal, winner of four NBA titles with the Los Angeles Lakers (2000-2002) and the Miami Heat (2006). "I think you have to go with a young Jordan every time."
"It would be an interesting game," said O'Neal. "Young LeBron was more like (Lakers Hall of Famer) Magic Johnson. He was sort of like Magic with Jordan's abilities. He liked to pass, and he liked to get it up.
"But Mike was Mike. He was just special, like no one else. He always did things no one else could do, and things you couldn't compare to anyone else. So he was special, and he'd win."
