On that classic episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show, Charles Barkley said of Michael Jordan, “I hang out with a lot of famous people, and he is the only person, like even when I’m with Tiger Woods, they go crazy over this man.”
This is also true of even NBA superstars, with Damian Lillard, Tracy McGrady, Kevin Garnett, Allen Iverson and even LeBron James are amongst the players that experienced wonderment upon meeting Michael Jordan for the first time.
Shannon Sharpe, the head drum major of the Lebron James pep band, was also awestruck at meeting the basketball legend.
Here is what the Hall of Fame tight end said on a recent episode of Night Cap about meeting Jordan
I’ve met, talked to Denzel [Washington] face-to-face, had a conversation, Samuel L. Jackson, Oprah. I saw Victoria and David Beckham. I mean I have seen some of the biggest stars in the world. Ive never seen anybody – its like he’s levitating! Ocho, I’m telling you , man this man glowing!You remember how Bruce Leroy was glowing? I swear.
Every athlete who ever met him said the same thing
For all of his antics and hijinks in his ongoing promulgation of the narrative that LeBron James is the greatest basketball player of all time, he has never spoken of LeBron James with the wonder in his voice as he did with Michael Jordan.
