Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Kobe Bryant all make a substantial case for the greatest player of all time. However, how often do fans get to see a picture of all three of them together? Recently, a rare picture of all three NBA sensations has been making the rounds on social media and fans are in a state of confusion whether the image is real or not.?
The three of them never played together in the NBA. Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant had the opportunity to play against one another. Kobe also had the chance to lock horns with LeBron James on the NBA court. However, MJ retired for the final time just before LeBron entered the league. Fans were understandably bewildered after having a look at the picture and their skepticism increased considering it was April Fool’s Day.
