NBA legend Michael Jordan  insists he'll beat LeBron James on a one-on-one game in his prime and that Kobe Bryant stole all his moves,  CBS reported.

These are what Jordan declared in a question and answer session on Saturday at his hoops camp in Santa Barbara--the Michael Jordan Flight School.

Jordan addressed a query that has heard of several times before, on whether if he was in his prime, could he defeat LeBron James on a one-on-one. He replied, "No question."

Jordan had in earlier interview declared that presently he would beat all members of the Charlotte Hornets.  
Meanwhile, despite blaming Bryant for stealing his moves, he said that he's friends with the Lakers star and that he loves him like a brother.

He also called Kobe one of the great players of the game.

Asked about what how he thinks the All-Time best Bulls layers would fare against the greatest Lakers players, he said he would never know and that it will remain just a debate.

While Shaquille O'Neal said that the Lakers would kill his Bulls, he countered that Shaq "was just talking" and that he could likewise claim that his Bulls would kill them.

Jordan also revealed that he would choose his college coach at UNC Dean Smith over his Bulls coach Phil Jackson.

He credited Smith to helping him become the basketball player he is today, while he called Jackson "lucky" because the team he coached benefitted with what Smith had taught Jordan.

Jordan also shared that during the 1992 Dream Team practices, him, Scottie Pippen, Chris Mullin, Larry Bird and Patrick Ewing "killed" a five that included Magic Johnson, Clyde Drexler, Charles Barkley and David Robinson. He called it the "best pick-up game" he's ever played.

However, there's a good chance the ageing Jordan's memory may be failing him.

ESPN noted that he could be talking about a scrimmage reported by Sports Illustrated, where Jordan teamed up with Ewing, Pippen, Bird and Karl Malone in beating against Magic, Mullin, Barkley, Robinson, and Christian Laettner in a 40-36, which was hardly a "killing."
