Like Mike: LeBron James Admits He Watched Michael Jordan’s Finals Performances Throughout Postseason (Video)

Two-time NBA champion LeBron James said he spent most of his free-time throughout the postseason watching old videos of the Chicago Bulls' dominant championship run, including some of the all-time great playoff performances by His Airness, Michael Jordan.

James, who grew up idolizing the Chicago Bulls superstar and now-Charlotte Bobcats owner, said during an interview with CNN's Rachel Nichols that he refrained from texting and getting active on social media sites for the second straight postseason to limit the distractions. Instead, the two-time Finals MVP opted to watch TV series '24' and study a lot of vintage postseason flicks, particularly on the Bulls' six championships campaigns in the 1990s.

"I watched a lot of old basketball games and Finals games," LeBron said on Monday. "I watched a lot of the old Bulls Finals games."

James repeatedly refused to get him compared with Jordan in previous interviews, but on Monday, it seemed that LBJ was starting to open himself up to the discussion on who is the greatest basketball player of all time.

It's no secret LeBron desires to be the best in history. Yet again, one should learn to look back to the past for him to be successful. In LeBron's case, he did that with flying colors. He knew there's no man more clutch than M.J, so he studied everything to the last detail. It paid off and LeBron has just become a multiple champion, another step closer to basketball immortality.

Here are some of LBJ's postseason highlights...Enjoy!
