Quote from: ESPN
Michael Jordan named his unbeatable pickup team and revealed one of his favorite dunks in a promotional video he did for a video game.
MJ's Top 50 Moments

The former Chicago Bulls star chose teammate Scottie Pippen, Los Angeles Lakers James Worthy and Magic Johnson and Houston Rockets center Hakeem Olajuwon as his teammates in a pickup game.

"I got no chance of losing. None at all," he said in the video released by 2K Sports to promote "NBA 2K14."

James Worthy? James Worthy? Come on, man!

I pick Larry Bird, Bill Russell, John Havlicek, Kevin McHale, and Sam Jones. Take that, Jordan...you ain't in it!  ;D

While MJ was a heck of a player, clearly his skills as a talent evaluator don't measure up to his skills on the court as his time in the Wizards and Bobcats' front offices has proven.

Let's get Reggie Lewis in there, just so he can shutdown Jordan and add insult to injury.

Wow, MJ was good but come on. I'll take Bird, Kobe, Big O, Russ ( at power forward) and Wilt at center. I'll put Wilt on MJ first just to show him he's not all that and I'll give Wilt and Russ $10,000 (in 1965 money too) for every one of MJ's shot they block.

Does MJ think Pippen is going to hold Bird? Does he think the difference in scoring of a young Kobe and young MJ is that much? Surely he doesn't think Worthy is going to score on Russ and Olajuwon guarding Wilt is an absolute joke.
 
I'll make a prediction that Wilt scores more in that game then MJ does too.

Yes, this is exactly right.  This latest proclamation is yet another example of his lack oftalent evaluation and player selection skill.

Jordan would also need an all-time NBA officials team....

Otherwise he'd get really confused when he couldn't travel at will....Hack defensively at will..Push off at will...And get phantom foul calls every time he goes up for a shot.

I wouldn't put Bird or MJ on my all-time pick up team.

I don't think I could deal with that much verbal abuse.

I'm bringing Magic, Clyde, Wilt, and Reggie Evans (I'm not trying to get the least attractive lady in the group).
