Former NBA star Michael Jordan, for many the greatest player of all time, on Monday criticized the decision to join LeBron James of the Miami Heat with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, ESPN.com said the sports page.
Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to six titles in the 90s. "There is no way, thinking in retrospect, that would call Larry (Bird) and Magic (Johnson) to say: 'Hey, look, and play Let' s get together,' Jordan said after playing a celebrity golf tournament in Nevada.
However, according to Jordan were different times. "Things were different. I can not say a bad thing. It's a chance that these guys have now. In all honesty, I was trying to beat those guys in my time, "he said.
LeBron, who played his first seven seasons in his home state to Cleveland Cavaliers, and was one of the most famous free agent history this summer.
He met with the Cavaliers, Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Clippers, Miami Heat, New York Knicks and New Jersey Nets before taking the decision to go to Miami.
Another former star player, Charles Barkley, now a basketball analyst on TNT television network, also fanned the flames by saying that LeBron's decision can change his legacy.
"It will never be Jordan," Barkley told the radio station 790 The Ticket in Miami earlier this week.
"This clearly takes away from the conversation. You can earn as much as you want (with the Heat), but it will be... never like Jordan. "
