Could Magic beat MJ 1on1 if they played TODAY? Last I heard Magic still runs pick up games.

    Doubt it. MJ probably still runs games too and practices and is younger

    MJ will have an unstoppable fadeaway till his last day on earth.

    We’re talking about the greatest scorer of all time vs a guy not known for his defense

  3. ChillClinton904

    No. Magic was a team player. His offensive bag wasn’t nearly as deep as MJ

  4. jonbemerkin

    Lol I’m flabbergasted by how stupid this question is

  5. nottherealstanlee

    Tbh I could see it. Magic is fuckin thick now lol in one on one he could just go to the post and baby hook MJ to death. Neither of these dudes getting up off the floor for a jumper lol

  6. Magic tore up MJ in the finals and they had to switch Pippen onto Magic. Magic now has a better chance than Magic then so Magic should have no problem now beating Jordan.

    Nah man. MJ would still get magic one on one

  8. chaoticneutral1997

    MJ is probably more mobile and is younger

    Yes this is the same argument as why Lebron would dominate MJ if they were the same age LeBron is 3 in taller and 70 lb heavier

    Magic would take it, Jordan is too weighed down by hate

  10. NBA needs to get a retired legends game at All-Star Weekend

    MJ, because he has to run (old head kryptonite) less to get a natural bucket.

    Saddest part about Magic is that he likely could have played into his 40s. His game wasn’t dependent on extreme athleticism and he even showed in his comeback that it could have worked.

    Magic could beat MJ, unless there was a bunch of money on the line. MJ does not like to lose a bet…

    Magic is just gonna sit in the post and take hook shots. Both don’t have lift so Magic’s shot is unstoppable

    Is this basically “is Magic in better shape than MJ right now?”

    Magic’s strength has always been 5v5 basketball, albeit his offense would still be great vs Jordan in a 1 on 1 scenario. MJ would also score at will vs Magic.

    This a hilarious post strictly off timing because I’ve been playing 2k23 for the Jordan challenges lately. I’m not saying it’s accurate in history but man magic is the only dude I can’t guard that they put Jordan on.

    Lmaoo he’s a fucking big ass pg with a bit of touch and skill in all the right places 😂. It’s a horrible match up on that sht. I had to switch scottie on him

    Magic settled that debate himself when they were on the Olympic team. He acknowledged he can’t take MJ one on one. He tried, it didn’t take.

  18. Geez. Magic would be a monster in pick up games.
