While both MJ an Bird would have been killing. You don't know the old players but you should, it's all out there to educate yourself. MJ & Bird were killers on the court, straight killers. Something LeBron has never been nor ever will be. You really need to go watch their film, they were incredible and incredible when it mattered most. Bird would literally tell the other team exactly what was going to happen, where the pass was coming from, what he was going to do an then he'd do it. An he did that over an over an over. Someone would say something to MJ that he didn't like an a fire was started an he'd torch them until they knew to never talk to him like that again. That too happened over and over and over. It's not close, those two were killers, something LeBron has never been. He's extremely talented but doesn't have the mind they did. It's literally not close.

All I know from being a 10 year old starting to watch the NBA on my own because to me, what LeBron James is to so many today, to us in Michigan, that was Magic Johnson. The NBA was a BIG MAN'S GAME all my life, until MJ came along. They weren't talking about him in the media as if he was a "King" he wasn't one to "Witness" he was from my memory a very good player, on a terrible Bulls team that was probably going to be disappointed because this was a team game and no 1 guy is going to make the difference and they didn't have a great Big Man. Well, he changed the game, changed minds and left a legacy that 21 years later his name is still arguably at the top of the pile

[@EnViTed1]

I mean 1 guy did not make a difference though, they never can. He only started winning in the playoffs with great teammates around him and a great coach.

[@mlrd2687]

@@EnViTed1 Jokic won the title without a single All-Star on the team, something that many great players have never accomplished. Jokic achieved all this without the help of the NBA, media and new juice. One player can make the difference. No one dominated like Jordan and that's why 99% of people of all generations consider him the greatest of all time.

[@gian-lucbrasseur207]

Arguably yes. 100% agreed. MJ was the most important player of all time. The Fandom he created for the game and the passion that the next generation had for ball was all because of him. LeBron can thank MJ for who he had to be. Personally, I take LBJ and I don't think it's close... but I totally understand the people who say it's MJ and he is untouchable. LeBron is basketball to me.

[@brettpreston9601]

You obviously didn’t know how bad of a team the Bulls were the year prior to Jordan. 1 guy did make a difference as a rookie. First year in the NBA he brought them to the playoffs. He took a team that was somewhere between the current raptors and hornets and brought them to a playoff team as a rookie. The more impressive thing as well is LeBron had Carlos Boozer on his team. You want to talk about having NOBODY on your team, ‘84 Bulls was that definition. Orlando Woolridge was Jordan’s “second” on the team. Jordan led his team on Points, Assists, steals AND total rebounds. Everything ran through MJ. He willed his team into the playoffs.

[@faronanderson2536]

@17:34 What the younger generation has to realise is that what Kevin Willis is talking about is fact. Michael couldn't get to the rim as freely as Lebron can today, period, but he still averaged well above 30pts even though the majority of the lanes were closed. He was going to the basket regardless, not just facilitate or sit out on the perimeter and shoot 3's. He wanted you to think that whatever you do, I'm going to overcome that challenge. He wanted to break you down mentally as well as physically, and he did it without fearing the consequences. Everybody was in awe, including management, coaches, and players alike. He's the most feared man in the NBA to date and could not be dethroned once he became a champion. He was unstoppable, then unbeatable. ... and all in just 13 years.

[@MrClebophd]

This is apples and oranges. I'm older, seen both, huge fan of both. It's just different. Also, the argument is emotional which allows for non-representative and biased thinking like finals records. That stat is useless. Why not conference finals stats then? Or first round? You write "Once he became King", thereby ignoring what happened before. In contrast, a whole slew of people claimed that LeBron could never be the GOAT before he even won his first championship. Talk about being emotional and and premature. Furthermore, it is incorrect. He couldn't stay in the league because of whatever, and he was certainly beatable while playing for the Wizards. Also, absurd as it may sound, LeBron is still active, and everyone needs to stop the debate. You cannot compare a retiree with an active player, nor can you compare 13 with 20 career years. Average stats will favor the shorter career, but overall stats will favor the longer career. This incommensurability makes the debate pointless. Together, with Kareem, MJ and LeBron are the three players that can claim the title depending on perspective. Why can't we just enjoy and celebrate their fantastic accomplishments?

[@Max-ys3xg]

This is how I know you are a casual who hates Lebron religiously without even watching his games. That game 6 in the 2013 Finals that you are talking about was ONLY close because Lebron exploded with 16 points in the fourth, almost outscoring the Spurs BY HIMSELF (Spurs had 20 points in the 4th) and he was the one that hit the three right before Allen's 3 to cut the lead to 3. If Bron didn't perform spectacularly in that 4th quarter and didn't hit that 3 before Allen's 3, Ray could have hit 3 threes in a row and it still would not have mattered.

This whole debate about who is the greatest is fun to watch and read. Here is an analogy for you, most employers would consider qualities, duties and responsibilities a requisite but they would also consider soft skills so to speak a must as well. Soft skills as in The intangibles like "Winning", "Clutch", "Defense Stopper", "Taking The Opponents Heart or Playing Mind Games" "Knowing What You're Going To Do And Still Not Being Able to Stop It", "Making The Opponents Coaches and Players Lose Sleep From Game Planning" "A Will To Win" and then you add in the knowledge (K), skill (S), and ability (A). This guy was a 10 time scoring champion the year and 7 of them were straight. Thats on top of winning 2 x 3Peat championships, 9 time All Defensive Team and 1 Defensive Player of the Year. And on and on... he did this in 13 or 14 years and retired twice. So he took breaks in between and still came back and showed why he was the greatest to EVER lace them up. Lebron is an outstanding player and his longevity is remarkable and championships really have nothing to do with the overall greatness.or conversation. When you look at the ( body of work) how he did and who he did it with over a whole career, I have to still give the nod to Jordan.

MJ is the goat period

[@belmondo8741]

I agree with you. However, MJ was not hungry anymore after his first 3-peat. He was bored. He had to go play baseball to realize playing basketball as well as he did was a gift and appreciate what he could do on the basketball court. I am not sure MJ would have been able to get his 2nd 3-peat without retiring to go play baseball. If MJ hadn't retired to go play baseball, there wouldn't be any question MJ is the goat if he had won another championship instead of playing baseball. SEVEN championships in A ROW?!!! If you watched "The Last Dance", you would have seen MJ was still hungry after the 2nd 3-peat. MJ wanted a 7th championship, but it all fell apart after the 6th championship. From a spectator point of view, MJ is also the goat. It's more fun to watch MJ play basketball than Lebron.

Micheal Jeffery Jordan aka "The Black Cat" "Black Jesus" has changed the game bring it to where it is today. He has lead the game in so many areas where the rules didn't cater for him. Now same is tailored for many of the softer cotton candy players. Many of the older players who played against him were denied by him and his team. Karl Malone would never give Jordan such props because Jordan took what he believe is his glory. Isiah Thomas is personally against M.J for not being part and parcel of that 1992 Dream Team. So you can see why they would to go to Lebron. Lebron has melt down in an important game sitting on the edge of the bench and not speaking to any one. How could this be leadership qualities. As a captain of a ship you called to command and go down with your ship, which he didn't. M.J left and return twice. The first time needs no words but 3peat. The second time raising the quality of Wizards with far less quality players. Lebron has always had great support. Kobe has received and kept 2nd place and shown his leadership. Then there was the fear factor of M.J by many players and their coaches. What other info is needed. I know that you can't take away the fact that he scored many point that should have called travelling. If the call was made at that time. Most likely he would be at just about 33K points in 20yrs.

LBJ being the GOAT over MJ is flat-out, the most ridiculous claim I've ever heard in my life. It's the only argument in the world, in any sport or industry where mediocrity (really subpar performance) is celebrated, simply because they were mediocre/subpar longer than the person they've exhaustively tried catching up to their entire career. If this were a competition between two TOP Salesmen in a sales and results driven company (which is what all companies are, or should be anyway), it'd be like saying LBJ is the best sales person ever, simply because he booked more appointments over a longer period of time than anyone else, even though MJ booked plenty of appointments himself, only he also closed the deal at those appointments making more sales, and did so in a much shorter span of time. In fact, his closing percentage is 100%!! MJ closed more sales, with less appointments. Meanwhile, Lebrons is 40%. Sub-par. Yet somehow, some way, is some people's warped minds, they call that greatness. 🤔 🤦🏾‍♂️ Someone, please...make it make sense. Lebron is a phenomenal player. One of the best ever.

For reference, he avged only 15/5 in the playoffs on 45% FG in 2013. Bosh was good for 1 year (2011), and was terrible after that. He only played 14/23 playoff games in 2012, where he avged 14/7. In 2013, he pretty much fell off completely and only put up 12/7 on 45% FG in the playoffs. 4 Years with Cavs: Ran into Warriors Dynasty first 2 years, then KD Warriors next 2 years. Kyrie was only great in 2016/2017 playoffs and Love put up similar stats to Bosh in 2012. At best, Lebron has had All-time teams in only 4 years of his 21 year career.

I thought this argument was done with. I don't even know how this comparison is valid. GOATS don't come home with bronze medals. GOATS don't lose championships. GOATS don't switch teams to chase a ring, they win with the team they got. GOATS don't brick when an important game is on the line. And last but not least, GOATS don't say they're the GOAT, people say it.

[@mikeandmars2345]

That part

[@Aldwulf]

You said people need to say it? LeBron is the GOAT. There, I said it. Most talented all around player to ever play the game, accolades aside. Statistically better in every category than Jordan (I'm talking individual stats). It is a debate, because there are many good reasons to put LeBron at the very top. 8 straight Finals appearances with 8 mediocre to bad teams. Coming back from 3-1 in the Finals against the greatest regular season team of all time. All time leading scorer. Top 10 in about every major statistical category. Can play and has played every position on the court at a high level, something Jordan could not do. The fastest, most athletic 6'8", 250 pound human the world has ever seen. Still playing at a superstar level at 39 years old, something literally nobody, not Jordan, not Kareem, nobody has ever done before.

[@Aldwulf]

Meanwhile, Jordan couldn't get out of the first round of the playoffs until Scottie Pippen came along. Jordan wasn't 6 for 6 on Finals, he was 6 for 15 with a ton of 1st and 2nd round exits.

Can someone tell me how is Bron's career flawless?

[@frankingram3477]

Bron's the ultimate flopper. Best to ever do it.

[@jaybrick8973]

Flawless as in hes still very good at 39 an hes been doing it since the early 00s

[@everydaychristian8932]

There is a clear cut reason why the VAST majority of the basketball community has declared Michael Jordan as The GOAT. This is not a legitimate debate. The better debate is between Kobe vs Lebron.

[@moresomoze]

There really isn't. The competition is significantly harder, the defensive plays are significantly more sophisticated and effective, the league is more athletic, every single person on every single championship level team has to be a 3pt shooter, and big men have to guard them. It's a dumb argument. It's literally impossible to compare the two. Think about how many teams since mjs bulls have even gone back to back champs? That's not just because Jordan is so much better than everyone else. He didn't have the same competition. Not even close. He was on the most dominant team in the league for like 10 years. There is no unanimous best team, and there are teams that were much much much more talented than the MJ bills. And LeBron Beat just about all of them.

[@FlamesUp1602]

No it isn’t. Lebron is obviously much better than Kobe

[@inefekt]

@@moresomoze literally everything you said is a hypothetical and impossible to prove....which is the life blood of LeBron stans in this debate. You don't have actual, verifiable data so you make stuff up in your heads to convince yourself that LeBron is that guy. He isn't. Stop pretending. Look at the actual data and you'll see that Jordan is leaps and bounds ahead of him.

[@jordanmiller8541]

I’m looking for some LeBron socks to put next to my original Air Jordan sneakers!

You can’t touch a guy now. And you couldn’t double team a guy back then.

[@ThomasRyan-s7o]

LeBron passed the egg test back in 08, he played two quarters before the egg cracked

[@kimwalker108]

Ray Allen is so right. Gary Payton and Kevin Willis had a very good take on the subject too. Wally Szczerbiak also hit it on the head about Jordan, "every time he had to win a game, he did and his mental game was second to none" and he played with Lebron. MJ 6 titles with the same team. Probably would have had a couple more if he wouldn't have walked away for a year and a half in his PRIME. Lebron had to stack his team to win 2 of his and wasn't even the best player for his last title, it was Anthony Davis that year.

[@patriciomusica]

The best answer came from Grant Hill. Jordan is his GOAT but we cannot invalidate what Bron has done for the game

[@AcousticForrest]

If Shane battier called MJ a queen on the chessboard how you think he’d react? Lol

[@miketoth9948]

Easy comparison if you ask lifelong Cavs fans over 40 yrs old. Jordon destroyed great Cavs teams in 90s. Lebron kept coming up short with Cavs until 2016. But 1-4 record in the Finals playing for the Cavs was not even close to MJ domination.

[@SprayedPepper]

stop it with "he makes guys around him better bs". Wade spilled the beans on LBJ during an interview, LBJ struggled trying to play a different way. His athleticisms covered the struggle until the finals against Dallas. No strong coach to check his ego, reducing players game so he can shine is what Luca is doing now. If he is the best player and makes people around him better then why did everyone else chip teams win more on his watch?

[@StevenRodriguez-jz9gx]

No excuses here but I feel Lebron not having great coaches and a good system lead him to creating his own system which like you said Luka is doing also harden and Russ did it… the ima do it all system.. I always wondered how lebron would have been if he played under a system.. feel like he could have been scoring champ a lot if he didn’t focus on the passes

[@SprayedPepper]

@@StevenRodriguez-jz9gx he never wanted a system. Had plenty of opportunities but played his way because he wanted all the accolades.

[@shangbluur3613]

i just think social media became a difference maker too i cant imagine anyone openly saying they are scared now

[@dredae76]

Oakley, never said Bron was the GOAT, he said he'd rather play with Bron because he passed the ball.

[@stufftimdoes6327]

We NEED the video of 15 yr old LeBron vs 38 year old Jordan . It wouldn’t end the debate but make it interesting. ( Jordan at his twilight vs LeBron nearly at his dawn)

[@Han-yh4zp]

Gilbert said it best of them all.

[@dccash5086]

It’s cap when it comes to Jordan them great Celtics, Pistons, Lakers wasn’t scared of him stop over hyping him

[@MrDotaleavers]

ray allen is the bridge to the conversation of LBJ as Goat. If ray allen ddnt hit that 3's, lebron will have 3 championship, Tim Duncan have 6 rings, and Lebron is 0-3 vs Duncan, do you still call LBJ a goat with these variables? NOPE, not even close. Jayson Williams, if the game is for fun, lebron.. if the game is for the win MJ.

[@FarebrothaChronicle]

According to ChatGPT here is is what it suggest as the answer Ranking these NBA legends is always a challenge, but here’s an informed list based on overall career impact, achievements, individual dominance, and influence on the game: 1. Michael Jordan Accolades: 6x NBA Champion, 6x Finals MVP, 5x MVP, 10x Scoring Champion Why #1? Widely regarded as the GOAT, Jordan revolutionized basketball both on and off the court. His dominance in the clutch, undefeated Finals record (6-0), and ability to win consistently under pressure make him the ultimate icon in NBA history. 2. LeBron James Accolades: 4x NBA Champion, 4x Finals MVP, 4x MVP, All-time leading scorer Why #2? LeBron’s versatility, longevity, and ability to impact all facets of the game are unmatched. His 10 NBA Finals appearances over three different franchises demonstrate his ability to lead teams to success across eras. He’s the most well-rounded player ever, combining scoring, passing, rebounding, and leadership. 3. Magic Johnson Accolades: 5x NBA Champion, 3x Finals MVP, 3x MVP Why #3? Magic revolutionized the point guard position with his 6’9” frame, court vision, and incredible leadership. He was the key orchestrator of the "Showtime" Lakers and remains one of the greatest playmakers in history. 4. Bill Russell Accolades: 11x NBA Champion, 5x MVP Why #4? Russell’s 11 NBA Championships speak for themselves. His defensive dominance and leadership turned the Boston Celtics into the greatest dynasty ever. Though his offensive stats don’t stand out, his impact on the game, particularly defensively, makes him a top-tier legend. 5. Wilt Chamberlain Accolades: 2x NBA Champion, 4x MVP, 7x Scoring Champion, 100-point game Why #5? Wilt’s sheer dominance is evident in his mind-boggling stats (e.g., scoring 100 points in a game, averaging 50 points over a season). His combination of scoring, rebounding, and athletic ability redefined what a center could do, although his success in championships falls short of some others on this list. 6. Larry Bird Accolades: 3x NBA Champion, 2x Finals MVP, 3x MVP Why #6? Bird was one of the greatest shooters and smartest players ever. His fierce competitiveness, ability to deliver in clutch moments, and versatile skills as a shooter, rebounder, and passer made him one of the most dominant forces in the NBA during the 1980s. 7. Kobe Bryant Accolades: 5x NBA Champion, 2x Finals MVP, 1x MVP Why #7? Kobe’s offensive brilliance and “Mamba Mentality” earned him his place among the all-time greats. His work ethic, scoring ability, and clutch performances made him a global icon. However, compared to Jordan, LeBron, and others, his overall career achievements and efficiency fall slightly short. 8. Tim Duncan Accolades: 5x NBA Champion, 3x Finals MVP, 2x MVP Why #8? The "Big Fundamental" was the anchor of the San Antonio Spurs dynasty. Duncan’s quiet but dominant approach led to unparalleled consistency, both offensively and defensively, over two decades. His ability to lead and sustain success earns him a top-10 spot. 9. Stephen Curry Accolades: 4x NBA Champion, 2x MVP, 1x Finals MVP Why #9? Curry is the greatest shooter in NBA history and revolutionized the game with his range, accuracy, and movement. His impact on how modern basketball is played cannot be overstated, as he changed the entire league’s approach to offense. His achievements in winning 4 titles and becoming a two-time MVP solidify his legacy. 10. Kevin Durant Accolades: 2x NBA Champion, 2x Finals MVP, 1x MVP Why #10? Durant is one of the most talented scorers ever, combining size, skill, and shooting ability like no other. His back-to-back Finals MVPs and scoring prowess make him one of the best offensive players in history. However, he lacks the leadership and overall impact of some higher-ranked players. 11. Jerry West Accolades: 1x NBA Champion, 1x Finals MVP, 1x Scoring Champion Why #11? "The Logo" remains one of the greatest guards of all time, known for his clutch performances and all-around skills. While he lost in the Finals several times, his consistency, scoring ability, and leadership still make him one of the NBA’s all-time greats.

they need to stop why none of this people are saying kobe maybe they put only lebron and mj clips argument

[@RamirezBAMF]

People don’t realize how lebron has changed with the game and still remained as a top 3 player if not 1 every year. Many players have a consistent game and for him to be diverse in any position and change with the rules and remain elite and even this year how he’s performing it’s insane
