Fact is Jordan never put his legacy in the hands of another player. From 91 onwards, and not including the half year he played in 95... Jordan got the job done. There are no "what ifs". When you go 6/6 in the finals and snatch up 6 finals MVP's, obviously it had less to do with luck. There was never a time when it looked like Jordan wasn't in control.

Meanwhile LeBron is constantly on the ropes. Constantly finding himself in elimination games against MUCH inferior opponents. This past year LeBron's legacy was in the hands of Ray Allen. LeBron was actually on the sidelines lookin upset... cause he knew his hands were tied.

Jordan's hands were never tied. You COULDN'T take the game from Jordan.

This must be his favorite player list

No it's his talking out of his ass and it will likely change before tonight list. Barkley says shyt for attention just like :skip: and :comeon:.


didn't he say a little while back that Lebron could end up being better than Michael? Or say some shyt about him being a bigger, stronger version of MJ? I'm confused.

No need to be confused. He said that shyt and will likely say it again...tonight. :heh:

True. his top 5 is not about rings but his bottom is about rings when it comes to kobe and lebron.

I could have sworn long time ago chuck said kobe was top 5.

NEW YORK -- Charles Barkley thinks LeBron James can be better than Michael Jordan.

Jordan is considered by many the best player in NBA history, but Barkley believes his teammate with the Dream Team can be surpassed by James.

"I do think he can be better than Michael," Barkley said. "I thought I would never compare somebody to Michael Jordan. But this guy, LeBron James, he does everything well. Michael did everything well. LeBron James is just bigger, stronger, faster. That's the only difference."

LMAO did you guys even watch Jordan play? shyt was like a fukkin Superman cartoon.

Like you watch a Superman cartoon and Superman is gettin his ass beat and it looks like all is lost but you KNOW in the back of your mind that he's gonna figure out a way to come out on top in the end. Like it's never even in doubt. You KNOW it's gonna have a happy ending and Superman is gonna win.

That's what it was like watching Jordan play. No other player ever gave you that feeling. You knew Jordan was gonna get the job done every time. And he did... every time.

Game 6 against the Jazz. Jordan scores quick after the inbound, steals the ball from Malone, sinks the gamewinner. ONE PLAYER just turned a loss into a win. Again... a fukkin Superman cartoon.

:cape:

You don't have that feeling with LeBron yet. The nikka is better than everyone by a fukkin light year and yet he's constantly shook. Constantly gettin pushed to the limit by teams he should be wailing on. I don't get it.

This is what separates him from the GOAT.

Right... after two costly turnovers.

I'll say it again, when the Heat were down by 5 with 30 seconds left and San Antonio had the ball... did you or did you NOT give the game to the Spurs? When LeBron was lookin all sulky on the sidelines. What was goin through your head at THAT moment.

Why would I give the game to the Spurs when in sports the game isn't over until the clocks says 00:00..didn't you just watch the Lions Cowboys game this week when the announcers had already given the game to the Cowboys..That's sports, things happen..what about when Fisher hit the 3 with 0.4 secs left against SA...no sense of saying it's over when I have seen things happen...

Chuck's opinion changes with the wind just like Magic's, so I don't see why there's so much analysis on this.

Edit: And also, for those criticizing him leaving off Magic and Shaq and Bird, it's not like he wrote this list down or something, it was probably off the top of his head and he simply forgot about those guys. If Kenny or EJ had been there to help him think (like they will be tonight) he probably would have switched around his top five/ten.
