Michael Jordan’s true feelings on LeBron James revealed, media narratives simply do not match up

Michael Jordan has seemingly spoken about LeBron James recently, and it’s something Stephen A. Smith wouldn’t like to hear.

Michael Jordan and LeBron James have been pitted against each other since the start of the latter’s career. The two players are often compared in the debate to determine who is the greatest of all time.

The NBA media, over the last few years, have really squeezed all the juice out of this subject ad infinitum. Recently, Skip Bayless accused LeBron James of being disrespectful to Michael Jordan for the most inane thing possible.

Stephen A. Smith, who has his own issues with LeBron James, constantly cites their troubles to his stance that Jordan is better. Smith needled LeBron recently over an ‘incontrovertible’ truth about MJ.

However, some in the media do defend LeBron James. Gilbert Arenas believes LeBron is far better than Jordan was at the age of 40. But what do the pair think of each other?

Michael Jordan respects ‘timeless’ LeBron James

Williams was recently out on the golf course with Jordan and asked him how LeBron would fare in their eras. Jordan’s response showed how much he respected LeBron’s game.
