LeBron James dreamed of a college title game with Michael Jordan but woke up before it ended

If you’ve ever dreamed about what might happen in a basketball game between Michael Jordan and LeBron James, you’re not alone.

It appears that James spent Saturday night dreaming of that exact matchup, with Jordan’s North Carolina and James’ Duke (one of the schools he would’ve played for if he’d taken on college hoops) squaring off in a national title game for the ages.

Sadly, with the game tied at 94 with five seconds left, Mother Nature awoke the Los Angeles Lakers star from his slumber before he could figure out how this imagined game might end.

North Carolina apparently had the ball, for what it’s worth. James said, despite not knowing the ending, the game was an “epic classic.”

Well, if that’s not the dream we all want to be having tonight, we’re not sure what will be. If Jordan would’ve won this one, would it it have qualified as a nightmare?

Maybe James will doze off and give everyone an update on Monday morning of what happened, or maybe he’ll dream about something else. Maybe a seven-game series with Jordan’s Chicago Bulls and James’ Lake Show?
