LeBron James on the ICONIC pickup game he played with Michael Jordan when he was 16 years old:
“When I was finally able to get on the court… I was unguardable… I was busting a**… I was nervous, but I was like, ‘I’m about to go crazy,’ and I did.” 😳

Tim Hardaway Sr. confirms that a 16-year-old LeBron was unguardable in the pickup game with MJ:
“He came down on a fastbreak, we thought he was gonna pass, this motherf***** took off from the free throw line… It was like in slow motion… He was real.”
