Lebron James may have taken a major hit in the Publics Relations department when he left Cleveland, for what he hopes are greener pastures in Miami. But one NBA legend says you can’t knock his basketball ability.

Hall Of Famer Oscar Robertson, known in his playing days as ‘The Big O’, disagrees with Charles Barkley’s recent assessment that Lebron will never be in Michael Jordon’s league as a player.

“Is Barkley trying to say he thinks Lebron is not as good as Michael Jordon?” Robertson asks. “Come on, Lebron is in a class by himself. All this legacy stuff people talk about before a guy is even finished playing, is just tv talk. They talk about you, they burn your jersey… just grit your teeth and go harder. Keep going as hard as you can and wear ’em out.”
