I think it's also worth noting that the players who played against/with MJ and chose Lebron as their GOAT consisted of only 3 players: Bill Laimbeer, Isiah Thomas, and Scottie Pippen. All of these 3 have noted their personal grudges against Michael Jordan. Obviously, I love these players and they are all all-time greats, but that's pretty interesting that the only 3 players to have witnessed Jordan live and voted against him also have personal reasons to dislike him.

[@sylviaadkins6208]

[@user-zd9vy4nw1e]

Tbh i love jxmys work but in this case i have some argues. Most important, 112 players is not concider a capable sample when we refer to tens of thaousands of players throughout the nba history. Second, sample should be taken equally from players of all decades wich is imposible to do now since players who played in the first decades are no longer alive or to old to even bother to concider participating in this serioucly. Third, an average player's opinion is not having the same importance as the one of a hof. HOF players usually play the game longer. In order to do that they must win more wich means they must be better of others. Being that allou them to understand and critisize others. Also this whould only means something if we somehow have a way to be sure that opinions are authentic and players not gonna change their mind ever, wich as you see from some players is way far from the trouth. So even if i find this channel the best in yt i have doubts about this one.

I'm always amazed at how little respect Kareem gets, with only 1% of the vote Granted, he was on his way out of the league as Jordan was taking over, but his resume is far better than LeBron's, and he was the best player in the league through the 70's. 6 rings, 6 MVPs, all-time scoring leader for almost 2 generations. Hard to do that, in LA, and get no love.

[@jamiekelley4076]

I think his legacy gets hurt because the 70s really felt like a transitional era for basketball and Kareem's prime got stuck in that NBA history.

Jordan was wholly obsessed with winning like no other player in NBA history. Thats what made him practice more, push his teammates more, and drove his killer instinct to be the best. Not to mention his natural ability was head and shoulders above everyone else. I watched him on TV growing up every chance I got. Saw the commercials. Watched people overseas mob him like a rock star. The NBA grew into an international business because of Jordan. People my age 45-50 know what im talking about. The things the man did on the court were unreal and the NBA blew up because of it. No one has had an impact the way MJ did.

You get that too when it's fans who've played any form of competitive ball vs those who are just fans or what have you. Every person I talk to that I played with whether it be as a teen or playing for my post team in the military, has Kobe as #2 behind Jordan. They all appreciate the hell out of the blend of different players that makes up lebron but can see that Kobe was a complete different monster while Jordan was even levels higher than Kobe. Phil Jackson once alluded to something similar. Kobe had that "it" factor like Jordan had, only Jordan had "it" times 10!

Hey Jimmy, is there a way for you to calculate how INFLUENTIAL a player was? Meaning, how was the game changed after that player arrived? To me it is obvious how much the game and players have changed via Jordan and now Curry. But I would be curious to see how Dr. J and Kareem affected play after their tenure. And/or if there are other very influential players.

[@timeon44]

[@MrVSaxAndCrew]

Most influential list IMO: 1. MJ (changed a bunch of things) 2. Dr. J (Put game "above the rim") 3. Iverson (Put hip-hop style in the game) 4. LeBron (player movement & pass-ball-to-the-open-man during crunch time) 5. Curry (obvious here) 6. Kenny Sailors (first man to shoot jump shot, ever) 7. Harden (step-back) 8. Wilt (widened free throw lane and put goaltending in the game) 9. Hakeem (footwork) 10. Kobe (work-ethic and taking triple-team shots)

For me it’s always been about “the eye test”. If you spend an hour watching LeBron highlights and then spend an hour watching MJ highlights it’s clear MJ is the better and more talented player. If you were at a playground watching guys play and MJ and LeBron were among them, if someone asked you who the best on the court was, most people would likely say MJ. He could just do things no one else could. And once you consider all that, afterwards, when you look at the stats and accolades, it solidifies that MJ is the GOAT… for me, the UNDISPUTED GOAT.

Jordan was also never afraid of failure. He tried everything, took the last shot, and never backed down even in the toughest moments. Heck he even joined the three point contest. As great as Lebron is, i always felt he was scared to fail or get embarrassed if he missed the game-winning shot or didn't win in a contest like a dunk contest or somethin.

Lebron has way more skill than any NBA player ever, but he doesn't have the win it all right now mentality that Bird, Kobe and MJ had. I've seen Lebron miss wide open lay ups with 5 seconds left. Larry shot the ball from behind the backboard, MJ would dunk in your face, Kobe would score the last 8 points of the game. Even Magic, Hakeem, Duncan, Isiah, Curry and Shaq were/are better winners.

[@benfroehlich9128]

I remember watching MJ when he first came back from baseball. Before that, I thought that he was literally unbeatable. When he got eliminated in 95' I thought maybe he's just not MJ anymore... maybe things are different now and he's just like other great players who maybe got unlucky or beaten sometimes. It was a weird feeling because MJ losing a big game wasn't even on the table before that. Then he came back the next year and he led the greatest team of all time to a championship. When he was back, I felt like he was the same guy who had won the first 3 championships. He was absolutely untouchable. That feeling stayed with me until he took his final shot with the Bulls over Byron Russel to clinch game 6 of the NBA Finals. MJ at his best wouldn't/couldn't lose. Lebron is 95' MJ(45), he's capable of some great play, and winning a championship but he can be beaten by another great player or maybe lose a big series. The greatest players sometimes lose or get outplayed. When Jordan was at his best, he never let me think of him in any other way, he was unbeatable. That's why he's the GOAT.
