FOOTAGE LEAKED?! Someone found the alleged footage of 16 year old LeBron James dunking on Michael Jordan in 2001 π³
Many β including LeBron James himself β have said LeBron dominated the game against NBA veterans, including Jordan.
LeBron James: βI was 16 years old... I was on the court with Michael Jordan, Antoine Walker, Penny Hardaway, Ron Artest, [and] Michael Finley.β
Travis Kelce: βWho guarded you?β
LeBron: βNobody. I was unguardable.β π
