“Michael Jordan Reveals His Secret Strategy to Dominate Steph Curry in a 1 vs 1 Showdown!”
Michael Jordan didn’t hesitate when asked how he would beat fellow NBA legend Steph Curry in a one-on-one game.
Curry is rated as one of the best basketball shooters of all-time, while Jordan’s legendary career makes him widely recognised as the greatest player of all time.
Curry has been named as the NBA All Star in each of the last four seasons, and is a four-time NBA champion with the Golden State Warriors.
The 36-year-old is yet to be named in basketball’s Hall of Fame, though – although there will surely be a day when that accolade is forthcoming.
Both Curry and Jordan had different styles as players. While Curry is renowned for his incredible shooting ability, Jordan would run the offense and dribble through opposing teams.
A one-on-one match between the pair in their primes, therefore, would be some sight to watch – and MJ knows exactly how he would try to defeat his rival.
When asked by The TODAY Show whether he would want to go up against Curry or another NBA icon in LeBron James, Jordan didn’t hesitate in giving his answer: “Well, I’d go against Stephen Curry because I’m a little bit bigger than him, so I could back him in. But LeBron’s a little bit too big.
If I was in my prime, could I beat LeBron in a one-on-one game? No question. And he’s going to say no question.
“[Curry] is a great player. Not a Hall of Famer yet, though. He’s not.”
Both Curry and James were part of the United States contingent that won the gold medal in men’s basketball at the Paris 2024 Olympics earlier this month
The US side beat France 67-66 in a tightly contested final, with a team that also featured the likes of Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid and Tyrese Haliburton.
