Some reports claim James and Jordan were on the same team and went undefeated
Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James shared a picture to his Instagram Stories on Friday of when he played with Michael Jordan while still in high school and expressed embarrassment over sporting an afro for the still secretive meeting.
It’s still unclear how that game went down, but some reports claim James and Jordan were on the same team. They went undefeated through a few games that fateful day
One thing is for sure, though, James did not like his hair. He blamed the high school for not letting players wear braids.
“The fro! lol. Damn school wouldn’t let us wear braids,” James wrote on the photo alongside a face-slapping emoji. “All love tho ST.V-M.”
LeBron James was NBA ready
The picture was shared by “@rare_sports” on Instagram and James not only liked the photo, but also posted it on his IG Stories.
“Michael Jordan, Antoine Walker & LeBron James,” the account captioned the post. “This pic was most likely taken in Chicago when LeBron was in high school coming out to play against NBA pros. Word is MJ and LeBron were on the same team and never lost.”
NBA fans on social media were quick to point out how James was ready for the league as a teenager, something Jordan can’t say about himself.
