The NBA’s landscape has always been defined by legendary rivalries and unspoken tensions, with generational talents often walking a fine line between admiration and competition. The relationship between LeBron James and Michael Jordan has long been a subject of fascination for fans worldwide.

It was probably not the type of game-winning buzzer-beater kids dream of while shooting hoops in their front yards, but LeBron James' tip-in on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, gave the Lakers a 120-119 win over the Indiana Pacers last night.

James has spoken on a variety of topics with the former NFL kicker. One topic that he discussed was his complicated relationship with arguably the greatest basketball player of all time, Michael Jordan. James admitted that he and Jordan don't talk, and he suspects it is because he is still in the league.
