The average NBA fan isn’t the only one who is disappointed in the Miami Big Three (LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh).
It appears Michael Jordan is as well.
“There’s no way, with hindsight, I would’ve ever called up Larry (Bird), called up Magic (Johnson) and said, ‘Hey, look, let’s get together and play on one team,'” Jordan said on Sunday. “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.”
Charles Barkley seems to be in complete agreement with Michael Jordan as well.
“Mike and I are in 100 percent agreement on this,” Charles Barkley told the Arizona Republic this week. “If you’re the two-time defending NBA MVP, you don’t leave anywhere. They come to you. That’s ridiculous. I like LeBron. He’s a great player. But I don’t think in the history of sports you can find a two-time defending MVP leaving to go play with other people.”

Michael and Charles wanted to prove they could beat the best players; LeBron wanted to join the best and destroy the rest of the league – which is more admirable? You decide… but I’m not going with the latter.
I have always been a huge Michael Jordan fan and I have to say that most of the so called start today, don’t even deserved to be compared with him.
