According to Michael Jordan "There's no way, with hindsight, I would've ever called up Larry, called up Magic and said, 'Hey, look, let's get together and play on one team,'" Jordan said after playing in a celebrity golf tournament in Nevada. "But that's ... things are different. I can't say that's a bad thing. It's an opportunity these kids have today. In all honesty, I was trying to beat those guys."

Barkley added, "He'll never be Jordan," Barkley told 790 the Ticket in Miami earlier in the week. "This clearly takes him out of the conversation. He can win as much as he wants to.

"There would have been something honorable about staying in Cleveland and trying to win it as 'The Man' ... LeBron, if he would've in Cleveland, and if he could've got a championship there, it would have been over the top for his legacy, just one in Cleveland. No matter how many he wins in Miami, it clearly is Dwyane Wade's team."

I love these guys and am very thankful that I got to see these guys play live, unlike some of the impatient punks like LeBron that prefer to take the easy way out.

EXACTLY!!!

The same can be said of CLEMENS and BOGGS winning titles with the Yankees..............Tim Wakefield and Jason Varitek winning in Boston is 40x the accomplishment of these two combined in NY.

LEBRON proved in the playoffs that he isn't even a top three player in the league..............vastly overrated as a player right now.

who is your top 3 in the league? only one I see that can argue being considered better is Kobe, and I don't even believe he is, but he's in the argument for best.

Averagin 30pts - 9reb - 8ast in the playoffs is pretty darn good last I checked.

Michael Jordan ripped lebron in a interview saying it was a low class move for him to go to miami. Saying when you call yourself the best you want to compete against the best not conspire to win a title. Hes like you didnt see me call larry bird and magic johnson to play together.

Duh "He'll never be Jordan"

UntilTheNDofTimE · 07-19-10, 07:46 AM

Ngates lebron isnt a top 3 playoff player. Dosent have the killer instinct or mental toughness. Wade kobe much better than lebron come playoff time.

Good, I like how they are telling it like it is.

starfire · 07-19-10, 07:52 AM

if Kobe & the 11 bums can win 2 titles...means pussy ass King has no heart...I'll be rooting against the heat every fuucking game this season

wanna be big 3

minet123 · 07-19-10, 07:58 AM

All this means now is When the Heat play the Bob Kittys

ProfaneReality · 07-19-10, 08:26 AM

talk about ruining your legacy and image... he has some morons around him

pavyracer · 07-19-10, 08:30 AM

Not sure if Lebron would have been Jordan if he even stayed at Cleveland.

Most the superstars today are friends off the court back in the good old days players could not stand being around the enemy

konck · 07-19-10, 08:34 AM

LaBron and Jordan are different types of players ....one uses his young power the other used everything. No he will N

ever be a Jordan

konck · 07-19-10, 08:35 AM

As for them playing on the same team........ Well at least he didnt take the biggest pay check he went where his heart wanted to be, for that I applaud him

It's all about the money for to many players now. How many Jeters are out there?

SO take Lebron off of the Cavs....IF just 1 of those 4 were on that team, they would of led them to the best record in the league, and beat the Bulls in the first round?

He said top 3 player "in the league" not just during playoffs, he said that his playoff performance, made him not a top 3 player in the league.

What about when he dropped 27 straight points vs detroit, when they were considered one of the powerhouses? but yes they then got swept by the spurs.
