Michael Jordan has stepped up to have his say about LeBron James and his decision to bring his talents to Miami.

NBC caught up with him Sunday after playing in a celebrity golf tournament in Nevada. He says it’s something he wouldn’t have done.

“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. “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.”

Not to be left out in his own interview to the Arizon Republic, Charles Barkley said:

"Mike and I are in 100% agreement on this." 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."
