LeBron James has been trying to get better since last season, but Charles Barkley might say that LeBron is aiming low. Barkley said in an interview that LeBron could be better than Michael Jordan when it's all said and done. Is Barkley predicting the future, or is he pulling our collective leg?

• FatherTres 1.7: "If he does become better, cool, but people who saw Jordan play in his prime (not based on hype) know, no one was better than Jordan! He was years ahead of his time. Unfortunately, you cant convince the younger generation, because they believe what they see NOW."
• nj2Portugal: "It's a beautiful thing to see the old school guys like Barkley Pippen Bird and Magic all agree that Lebron is or could be better than MJ. These guys all played with him so they know what they are talking about."
• antistratfordian: "LeBron is great because of his genius basketball mind. His athleticism is only a small part of his greatness. If you removed his athleticism he'd just be a better version of Magic Johnson."
• Jumpman11071985: "Oh Charles you should know better than that. I can agree that LeBron is bigger, he might be even stronger (but as we all know Jordan was freakishly strong, for sure stronger than any other 6.6 guard) however LeBron is not faster than Jordan, he is not even close in terms of speed and quickness to MJ. Young Jordan was just cat quick, the quickest first step I've seen from any player so Charles is simply mistaken"
• keithboogie: "I am a Michael Jordan fan for life and he made me enjoy pro basketball but I agree with Barkley nobody can score like michael jordan but no one plays a more complete game than Lebron James and Lebron is faster than mike and strength is in the eye of the beholder. If lebron needed too he could score at will but he has stars with him and he gets everyone involved. Jordan knew he needed to score and thats what he did."
