Keith Allison/FlickrReports from the NBA Finals are indicating that Miami Heat forward LeBron James just did something, but fell well short of the standard Michael Jordan set for himself when he was involved in similar circumstances during his career.

"I don't know what exactly LeBron was thinking there, but Michael Jordan would have definitely done it better—probably like this," said ESPN/ABC analyst Jon Barry, breaking down footage of James' actions—inferior when compared to the ways of the Chicago Bulls' Hall of Famer.

Added fellow ESPN/ABC analyst and Pardon the Interruption co-host Michael Wilbon, "LeBron would have been better served if, instead of doing it like that, he had simply mimicked Michael Jordan, who had better awareness and skill for what LeBron was taking on there."

Everyone else watching, reading or hearing what LeBron did or didn't pull off agreed that Jordan would have "totally killed it" and harshly criticized the 26-year-old James for "not being more like Michael Jordan in that situation."
