Lebron is considerably more athletic than MJ, particularly at the same age.

James is as athletic now as MJ was at his most athletic, his first 3 years. Combine that with LBJ being larger than MJ, and there is your valid argument.

I just don't get how anyone can say this stupid shite. I think MJ's playing days are just too far in the past for people to remember how athletic he was. Hell, in fact, I could make a case that a young Barkley was as athletic as Bron Bron.

Now, something I'd love to see is how Lebron would've done against someone like Rodman. Not just physically but mentally.

"Jordan is considered by many to be the best player in NBA history. Barkley says he would never compare anyone to the Hall of Famer and six-time NBA champion. But Barkley also says that James is “just bigger, stronger, faster.”

That is a Charles Barkley quote.

So is Barkley more athletic than Jordan? Doubtful.

Stop having the old school biased. Modern athletes are getting bigger, faster, and stronger. It's science.
