Legally, definitely not possible.

Anything is possible though given enough time, money, and determination.

There have been others who have released code to do just that, but since it's a violation of Google's terms of service I can't recommend it. You CAN do almost the reverse, use the Google Maps API as a wrapper that includes their base map and not much else, and then layer your own ESRI javascript map viewer on top. Not a trivial undertaking, but not too bad.
