Most basketball fans lament that the world never saw LeBron James and Michael Jordan match up on an NBA court. But what if instead of playing against each other, they shared the floor as teammates? Believe it or not, MJ and LeBron actually teamed up—and not only in someone’s NBA 2K franchise mode. After a photo of the two icons standing on a court together went viral, King James revealed that he attended one of Jordan’s youth basketball camps in Santa Barbara during his rookie season—and together, they balled out. “The camp would end, [and] he would let the kids watch the first game around 8:30, and then he’d have all of the kids leave and then we would stay along with the college kids that he would invite to the camp. We would get a good run in for about an hour, hour-15. I was on the team with MJ and we didn’t lose a game.”
The thought of Jordan throwing lobs to a young LeBron or MJ hitting a jumper off a gorgeous dime from James is enough to make any basketball fan giddy. But while the world can only imagine their dominance that day, this 2008 Upper Deck Black Dual Patch Auto showcases the magic made when these two legends come together. Featuring dual hard-signed silver ink autographs and a breathtaking quad of game-worn patches, this BGS 8.5, Auto 10 example stamped 12/15 is as unbeatable in its appeal as a tandem of MJ and LeBron would be against even the toughest team. Though Jordan and James shared the court for only a moment, collectors might want to hold onto this incredible card forever.
