Long after Michael Jordan has passed, he will still be claiming he can beat current NBA players. Just like he did again today:

L'Equipe: Do you think you can play against some of your guys right now? Do you sometimes do that or not? Could you win on one-on-ones against them? Jordan: I'm pretty sure I can, so I don't want to do that and demolish their confidence. So I stay away from them, I let them think they're good...but I'm too old to do that anyway.

Michael Jordan is one of the greatest basketball players of all time, and, in his day, was the best player on the planet. He still thinks today is his day. I would love to have that kind of confidence.

You can see the entire interview this quote came from below. Michael Jordan will never change.
