Lattest News:Michael Jordan Named 4 NBA Players That Could Beat Him in 1v1 Match see more

Michael Jordan. A basketball legend referred to by many as the GOAT.

The man who earned the nickname ‘His Airness’ is a six-time NBA Finals champion, a six-time NBA Finals MVP, and the most famous part of the legendary Chicago Bulls squad which dominated the league in the mid-to-late 1990s.

These days, ‘MJ’ is a minority owner of the Charlotte Hornets, having sold off most of his majority stake in the franchise.

At his peak, there wouldn’t be a long list of players who would be able to hang with Jordan in a 1v1 contest, but he did once name four he believes could hang with him, and could even beat him as well.

Jordan was formidable in a 1v1 environment, boasting a near-faultless record in such encounters. One such story resurfaced in 2013, when rookie Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, freshly drafted by the Hornets (then Bobcats), found himself challenged to a one-on-one game by the six-time NBA champion. The outcome was the 50-year-old team owner walking off the court victorious, leaving his young player stunned.
