LeBron James opens up on relationship with idol Michael Jordan

Michael Jordan went from being LeBron James' childhood idol to now, in the twilight of his Hall of Fame career, the basketball figure whose James' resume is most often judged against.

James opened up about the current relationship between him and Jordan as part of a long-ranging interview that aired Wednesday on "The Pat McAfee Show."

While James characterized their dynamic being in "a good spot," he admitted there is distance between them.

"We don't talk," James said during the hour and 15-minute interview that was taped at McAfee's studio outside Indianapolis on Tuesday.
