NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley has spoken on the difference and similarities between LeBron James and Michael Jordan.
The aforementioned basketball players are widely regarded as the two greatest to ever play for game.
While fans remain divided over who the greatest truly is, Barkley believes Jordan edges every other player.
According to him, the 57-year-old is the basketball player of all time, adding that Kobe Bryant is the closest thing he’s ever seen to Jordan.
Barkley was, however, quick to add that LeBron is better than Jordan in two areas.

The LA Lakers star, he said, is a better passer and rebounder than Jordan.
James is currently the only player in NBA history to rank top-10 all-time in points and assists, having surpassed both Jordan and Bryant.
Those who rate Jordan as the greatest NBA player do so due to his impeccable record in finals.
He led the Chicago Bulls to six titles in the ’90s, going an impressive 6-0 along the way and winning all six Finals MVPs.
James on the other hand has so far made six finals, winning three and losing the others, a record which is usually used against him.
