The ongoing debate about who is the greatest of all time in the NBA continues to be a topic of discussion.
Charles Barkley, a former NBA star, shared his thoughts on the comparison between Los Angeles Lakers’ small forward, LeBron James, and the legendary Michael Jordan during an appearance on ESPN’s “WYD” with Ros Gold-Onwude.
Barkley acknowledged Jordan as the best basketball player ever and mentioned that Kobe Bryant was the closest player he has seen in resemblance to MJ.
Although Barkley emphasized Jordan’s greatness, he did mention that LeBron surpasses Jordan in terms of passing and rebounding skills.
In the history of the NBA, LeBron is the sole player to be ranked in the top 10 for both points scored and assists. He passed Michael Jordan on the all-time scoring list last season and surpassed Kobe before his unfortunate passing this season.
LeBron is currently aiming for his fourth NBA title, a feat that may materialize if the league resumes as planned and remains unaffected by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
