“Greatest Story in Sports History”: LeBron James Gets Heady Praise From Charles Barkley For His Success And Scandal
Given his own status as an NBA superstar, Charles Barkley can definitely relate to the trials and tribulations of superstardom like LeBron James.
LeBron James is one of the most accomplished and admired athletes of our time, and one of his most impressive feats is his lack of scandals throughout his career.
Despite being in the public eye for over two decades, James has managed to maintain a squeaky-clean reputation. Apart from a deleted tweet and his comments on Daryl Morey, LeBron has managed to steer clear of most controversies.

Charles Barkley praises LeBron James for being so scandal-free over 22 years
Charles Barkley was recently interviewed by 60 Minutes about both of his careers – both on the floor and as a 23-year analyst on TNT. As always, the Chuckster knocked it out of the ballpark with his candor and words.
He heaped a ton of praise on James when the subject came to his work off the court:
“To be, number one, ready at 18, to where he is 20 years later, the greatest scorer in NBA history. I think it’s the greatest story in sports history. For a guy to be that good from Day One and never screw up is amazing.”
“In our 24-hour news cycle where people out here tryin’ to get you, people are tryin’ to get you today. They got cellphones everywhere; they got the internet everywhere. I tell people, his story is the greatest story in sports history.”
