LeBron James says he was MJ’s teammate in viral on-court photo

There have been several long-held theories about the origins and the context of a viral photo that has made the rounds for the last few years of LeBron James playing in a pick-up game on Michael Jordan together. What happened? Who did what? After LeBron James told the story of the first time he met Jordan, which was a stunning experience at 16 years old, LeBron then talked about the photo in question, which didn’t happen to be the first time LeBron met MJ. Not only was it not the first time that LeBron met him and was on the court with him, but they were also teammates. This was back when LeBron James was a rookie in the NBA at Michael Jordan’s basketball camp in Santa Barbara.

Naturally, they went undefeated, as LeBron describes starting around the 22-minute mark of UNINTERRUPTED’s WRTS: After Party.

Good luck trying to stay on the court when you are playing against LeBron James and Michael Jordan.
