Charles Barkley Thinks James Harden Better Offensively than Kobe and MJ

Former NBA superstar Charles Barkley is a walking soundbite. He’s always providing content for people to discuss, or more likely argue about. If you’re a Michael Jordan fan, or a Kobe lover, you’re probably not going to buy into his latest hot take. Charles thinks James Harden is the most gifted offensive player of all time.

Charles Barkley says James Harden 'might be' the best player in the world over LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo

Barkley also says Harden is a better offensive player than Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant

Sounds like no one is buying Chuck’s Harden take.

Harden is absolutely a beast on the offensive side, but he’s no MJ or Kobe. If he can win a few rings, maybe, just maybe you can talk about him being greater offensively than two of the greatest to ever do it.
