“I think it’s weak personally to have that debate all the time because I think when you have no talent you have to make up s*** to talk about. Are we still talking about Michael? Michael has been retired for 30 years and LeBron is great. I got a lot of love and respect for LeBron”, said Charles Barkley during the podcast.

Although they both played the same sport, they are two very different players playing at two different times. Jordan’s era of basketball revolved around physical and fundamental basketball, with the best shooters bringing in 3-pointers. Tough defense was the best offense, and it was an era of historic rivalries. Now the game has too many trades and everyone is trying to create a super team.
LeBron James and Michael Jordan had very different support. Jordan had undoubtedly the best basketball team ever around him. James couldn’t get a championship in Cleveland, but with the help of stars like Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, he won two championships in three consecutive finals with the Miami Heat.
