Jordan: In His Prime He Could Beat LeBron, Not Kobe

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- NBA legend Michael Jordan says in his prime he could beat LeBron James in a one-on-one basketball game.

He's not sure about Kobe Bryant.

In a video promoting the NBA 2K14 video game that is being released today, Jordan says there's a ``long list'' of players he would've liked to have played one-on-one _ Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Julius Erving, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, Bryant and James, who dons the cover of this year's video game.

In the video Jordan confidently says, ``I don't think I would lose _ other than to Kobe Bryant because he steals all of my moves.''

Jordan, a six-time NBA champion and considered by many the greatest basketball player ever, has had a sponsorship deal with 2K Sports since 2011.
