Facts

[@jaydubb2005]

Nba Players who never attained multiple championships, back to back chips, 3peats or Dynasties will never understand or put high value on such things. They will put more value on the accumulation of individual stats because those things are closer to home for them, relatable, in their wheelhouse #lmao It's funny and unfortunate to observe. People who understand the wholeness of basketball as a team sport with players with Elite Leadership know that Individual Stats, Accolades + Winning Finals Records, 3peats and Dynasties reign supreme. Truth be told, players with Losing Finals Records and No Dynasty do not belong on the Rushmore of Basketball or the Top 5. The Sports Industry chose Lebron as their ca$hcow and created the biggest Sports Media Propaganda Campaign ever. Lebron is great but real ones know its Jordan and Kobe and then everyone else. Jordan and Kobe are the most skilled and spectacular 2-Way (Offensive + Defensive) Juggernauts that produced Winning Finals Records, 3peats and Dynasties for their Teams in a Team Sport.

That should've been a wake up call for every fan of the game. I hated Kobe during most of his career and hated Steph for years. Dudes are amazing talents and to attempt to downplay it is simply depriving yourself of some great moments. Over so many generations and so many all time greats, there isn't a realistic wide difference between Bron, MJ and Kobe.

It's all about perception and adapting under any circumstances.

[@anhiirr]

His passion and faith in todays/future game of the NBA is on par with the passion he had and approach he had to the game. KG was my favorite big to watch growing up TD was just too sterile his tape had no soul KG on national TV was box office He banged against 90s greats and ppl like LBJ and ppl that tried to compete with LBJ in his era. Growing up a lakers/Kobe stan was tuff knowing deep down LBJ was the real thing its just something that was hard to admit...for him to lace up as a Laker and be about until his last game really proved it to me as a fan as if he had to go out of his way to do so. To me those moves/acts are what put him on a different level, or winning with rondo as lakers. Just some ball lore nerd stuff that makes you really appreciate this era for what it was and where its heading.

[@cycleoflife565]

The debate is there because a certain player laid claim to the title instead of simply letting his game speak for him and leaving the world to decide. It’s insulting in itself that he thinks society can’t decide for themselves and just by him saying so will make it reality.

[@cyberbron2077]

@@cycleoflife565that’s not true. Lebron didn’t call himself the GOAT early on. People were already comparing Lebron to MJ once he entered the league and I the early 2010s when he started winning they kept mentioning it. Yall haters stay tryna blame Lebron for everything. He has every right as a man to feel he’s the best, that doesn’t mean it’s okay to consistently compare him to others. It’s his opinion. Jordan called himself the best and you guys never mention that.

Thats just modern 24 hour news for you. Old news didn't make the most money but it was still decent money.

It’s not just what Michael Jordan did, it’s the way he did it and the way he played. He was way ahead of his time and his game was so beautiful to watch.

[@mikemarc92]

Jordan is the beneficiary of multiple things. 1. The time period. This was before social media. Everyone was just locked in to whatever was current. Much less distractions, much less things to take up peoples attention. This certainly added to the “myth” of Jordan. 2. Jordan’s relevance continues due to his sneaker branding causing his name to stay relevant. 3. He has time working in his favor. His last dance documentary was aired, and we have had a chance to hear the personal stories. In other words his legacy has had time to be built. Lebrons greatness won’t be appreciated until he retires and we have time to take in his accomplishments. And as the 35 and under generation takes over the media airways we will see much more consensus as Lebron being GOAT Edit: I do think Jordan had the best PEAK of all time

[@NatP-qt1df]

Being ahead of cats that were stuck in the mud makes you look even better. People need to go back and watch Mike now and see what they think rather than holding onto the past so much and glorifying MJs past. Nikas think he never missed a shot and walked on water.

Why has Jordan shoes dominated to this day over the queen? Why do so many young people still see Michael Jordan as the Goat, even the queen's fans? The objective ones do anyway. It's like Mandy said, The Goat was ahead of his time. I don't care how the queen tries to whine and cry and beg people to respect him. That's exactly why he doesn't get the respect he wants, because he is fake and desparate, he always will be. The Goat has done nothing but sit back and allow others to tout his greatness. Your boy is too thirsty! I don't care how many points he scores, he will never be the Goat.😂

[@joshconner51]

KG and Stephen A. vibes together look great. NEED MORE

[@qt4633]

That's what makes Jordan so special, is because the Bulls team wasn't stacked like the Boston Celtics with Bill Russell for all those years. So Jordan didn't start winning right away but once he started he couldn't be stopped. If Jordan didn't need to take that year off when his Dad passed, the Bulls had a great chance of winning 7 straight Championships. There's no way we could be comparing LeBron to that. Somehow though they're still trying to compare LeBron to this man that three peated twice. The man that everyone says doesn't look human and seems to levitate in their presence, Michael Jordan. And we're still so memorized by Jordan because with all the great talents there is in the NBA today, we still haven't seen a dude perform like Mike. Minus the Championships Jordan is the greatest mother f er, i ever seen dribble a basketball. The Championships just make him even greater, especially with the teammates he was able to pull it off with.

[@monabell402]

[@pmontyjaaaymes488]

Right! Players are way more skilled today. Definitely have a bigger IQ than past players. More athletic and faster too. That's why we have guys like the KDs, Chet, Wemby, Porzingis, Jokic, AD. Literally 6'10 hybrid players. 90s wouldn't know what to do but play a zone and foul when they come into the paint. Lol

[@trip7779]

true, but I'm not speaking about stats. Strictly just talent. Look how explosive West Brook is, I don't think we've seen anyone explode at that capacity, in terms of his drives to the basket, don't forget he's also got the most triple-doubles in the history of the game. Some of these things go over our heads because of other emotional things. yes, we would like him to show up every game, but trust me with all the media scrutiny and lights on you, it's hard for anyone to get out of slumps or perform on a consistent basis, but what I can never take from the guy is his energy and how he goes hard every possession on both ends, even if he doesn't score. For Harden, his game his just wack. Once the league stopped calling those weak fouls (which were mostly offensive fouls in my opinion), he was done!@@bistro25

[@trip7779]

I agree 100%. Imagine Steph was playing in the 80s & 90s with the same talent as now, They would simply just want to injure and take him out lol, because they wouldn't know what to do with that. One thing I would give the older generation players in their era over today is their drive to want to succeed. Money was not handed over to them for just showing up. They had to play their butts off. Today the media already super hype players before drafted or as a rookie and sometimes that mounts pressure for these players to succeed and some of them are not built that way (Anthony Davis) LOL... just kidding@@pmontyjaaaymes488

[@franciscoarroyo9402]

What KG brought up is the correct conversation. Some people believe that league was “picked up and carried”, when others believe, “ the league has gone down on where the league was”, and that’s what the argument is. And the problem is, we, the ones that believe the league is not as great anymore as once have, we have the evidence to show how the league indeed is softer and has less commitment and seriousness.

The very fact that KG is arguing that these players need guys like Skip to prop up their egos proves that very fact.

[@CouchCit]

Lmao yo KG is so animated and passionate!

[@1200CartaLane]

Bro who knew this was the duo we needed

[@flintfleming3935]

KG has always been one of my favorite players.... Outspoken, honest,str8 up in ur face. Speaks very well with lots of common sense...his basketball resume is pretty damn good...

[@RobertoLopez-jl9tl]

Love KG energy. Having this guy as a friend it most be dope

[@vee4325]

He on dope lol

[@cyber6sapien]

When Mike was doing his thing, he wasn't disrespecting other legends. That's what some of these kids are up to now. That's what has us old heads riled up. We would love to sit back and appreciate what we're seeing now. But as soon as we do, here come the new school fans or players, disrespecting the old school for no reason.

[@user-hr5jr7po9i]

Its the people who don't know what they're talking about. Nothing about what we're saying about the 80's/90's, MJ, Dominique, Stockton, and etc..is disrespectful. We've said that the rules were tougher because, ON VIDEO, you can see people get clothes-lined, elbowed, bloodied, and etc...now, you barely touch someone and its a foul. Its not an opinion, its video proof but they think we are hating. They say that this Era was tougher, we don't say anything because we know better. They new gen can like this era, that's fine, but don't say its harder when video proof show that it isn't.

This conversation is Gold !!

[@PlanetJigobotTV]

KG can only hold calm for about 2 minutes until his intensity kicks in. 😂Love KG

[@kimmariebell4640]

KG this was great!!! I love everything about this conversation. You deserve more air time KG

[@BoosterGoldEarth6]

He a sellout for speaking with the Lebron agenda

[@king-ghost1027]

​@@BoosterGoldEarth6 KG is still that guy 💯

[@pierre.rolex1141]

We are also witnessing 39000 points at 39 years old without a decline in minutes or points scoring

[@ChannelTwentyTwo]

Insanity

[@faywhite7886]

You have to turn 39/40 and still being active to understand it doesn't make sense what Lebron is doing. Father time is undefeated for us except for him.

[@darrenwall16]

That’s not all the way true…

[@DuncanHouse410]

This was a swearing good time and I'm here for every second. Like watching your uncles argue at the family function

[@sirshowbizz339]

We gotta evolve as fans as the game evolves. KG 👏🏾

[@pvtrichardsonbr]

KG is so spot on about this! 7:57 the damn old heads wont let the game progress. And one amazing act by a player shouldnt be the standard for all players after. It should be acknowledged as its own thing. So mj 6/6 Lebron 39k Ect

[@AB1B1]

Saying LBJ is second best isn't disrespectful and is not indicative of "not allowing the league to progress"

[@czrmalone4441]

This was a good convo 🔥🔥

[@KennethClark-fc4zz]

K.G got that passion that only a few can understand. Delivery might sound tough but you can’t help it

[@concretejunglegym7759]

I saw Mike play against the Knicks all the time . I use to sneak in Madison square all the time as a kid just to see Mike especially in the play offs .. priceless !!!!

[@oblove1586]

FOREAL KG! These ESPN Analysts Got People That Ain't Never Dribble a Basketball Talking Shit On The Internet Everyday About a Player That Rules The Regular Season and Playoff Record Books..Man LEBRON JAMES Is Unreal How Consistent and Great He's Been For 21yrs Straight 🤷🏿‍♂️
