[@dexter_johnson]

The problem when it comes to MJ (he is the goat, at the moment, folks can always be surpassed) is that he is always referred to as this mythical god type of being. MJ was far and ahead of everyone else in the league, while now, we have more talent than ever and you have to be substantially better to rise to the top. Mike, LeBron, Kobe, Shaq, Steph, Larry, Magic, Kareem, Hakeem, TD, Russell, Wilt, Dr. J - ALL of these guys are greats in any area and any circumstance. Where you rank them is up to you, but we cannot forget that it is all subjective, no matter how much you yell and scream….it’s subjective, until you pull out the “goat rubrics”.

[@brianthedog2004]

Well said. When people say "this is the greatest apple pie I've ever eaten", nobody bothers arguing about it by bringing out sugar content stats. That's why it's currently MJ for me. To this day nobody has ever given me the emotional charge I got when when watching MJ live.

[@raymonjames3020]

Brother he can be surpassed 100% its just not lebron though. Handpicking other superstars to to tip the league in your favor but still losing 6/10 times you are heavily favored isnt great. It just isnt. If youre saying the “body of work” going through the grind of losing and eventually beating the competition, it is something Mj did and not lebron. If ever, losing to the mavs spurs and warriors in those superteam runs, made these other teams great for beating the superteam thats supposed to win not 7.8.9.10 lol

[@JC-db7so]

Yet a slow white guy who can’t jump is dominating the nba. Please explain to me how that makes sense if everyone is so much talented now?

[@JC-db7so]

It’s actually not subjective when you looks at MJ’s career. When you can lead the league in scoring in the regular season and the playoffs, while being a first team defender and you are the regular season mvp and finals mvp and you won the chip and you are the only man in the history of the league to do this and you did it 4x’s and the last time was at the age of 35. What is subjective about that?

[@Boosiefade123]

mythical god type of being? WTF are you talking about??

[@Kedvin7]

A conversation with Shaq is always going to be a discourse because he is that one legend who never cared for plays or team dynamics - he jus went there and dominated everybody. He always had one formula 😁

[@RealAaron317]

The league wasn't water down. There weren't 90 players from the street's it was an expansion draft. Those players came from different teams.

[@theresak2024]

The Win Average of the bottom 5 teams in the league during Jordan's Era was 22 wins. The Win Average of the bottom 5 teams in the league during Lebron's Era was 22 wins. Redick provided ZERO statistics or data to back up his ridiculous claim, no evidence whatsoever. Six teams were added over a period of TWO DECADES (4 in the 80's and 2 in the 90's). One of those 6 teams was the Orlando Magic, added in 1989. The Magic became an incredibly strong and competitive team within only a few years of their addition to the league, drafting Shaq in 1992 and acquiring Penny Hardaway one year later! This 'expansion team' knocked the Bulls out of the Playoffs in 1995! The Miami Heat was another one of these 6 expansion teams, added in 1988. They acquired Glen Rice in 1989 and though they initially endured a few seasons of mediocrity, Pat Riley's arrival as the new head coach in 1995 ushered in the Tim Hardaway and Alonzo Mourning era. Riley drastically transformed the new-look Miami Heat into a defensive-minded juggernaut and they quickly became championship contenders. They progressed all the way to the Eastern Conference finals in 1996-97 where they were defeated by the Bulls. The Heat would go on to become the #2 seed in the East in the 1997-98 season but eventually lost to the Knicks in the Playoffs. The players that joined these 6 expansion teams weren't picked off the streets, these were professional NBA players already drafted to other existing NBA teams. In an NBA expansion draft, the new NBA teams were allowed to acquire players from previously established teams in the league. Not all players on a given team were available during an expansion draft though, each existing team was allowed to protect a certain number of their players from being selected, thus giving them the power to retain their 'Star' players. In the 80's expansion, the existing teams were each permitted to protect eight players from their roster. Additionally, the new 'expansion' teams would have access to high draft picks during the next draft pick depending on their win %! Where is the evidence of the league being 'watered down'?! Since his latest attack on MJ and the 80's/90's era, a lot of people are posing this question to JJ, including Udonis Haslem live on ESPN... What about the G League and it's significant impact on the current NBA roster? Over 50% of current NBA players have G League experience and a significant number of current players are signed to two-way contracts. Does that mean that the current NBA is 'watered down'? I would be very interested to hear Redick's response to that question. Any objective and rational person can identify a pattern here... Lebron suffers defeat and like clockwork, along comes a Klutch Sports 'Plant' pushing the next ridiculous MJ narrative, void of any substance..."But...but...but...Jordan played in a watered down league." Klutch are running out of Jordan narratives, each one crumbling quicker than the last. They are becoming so desperate, they are having to recycle old narratives! Remember when JJ stated on live TV a few years back that MJ was being guarded by 'plumbers and firemen'? The only card they have left is to continue trying to diminish Jordan's competition. That's it! That's all they have, now that the Longevity card has failed. It's truly disturbing, that Klutch Sports will stop at nothing in their absurd attempts to elevate James to Jordan's level, even if that means having to diminish an entire era of basketball. Say what you want about MJ but he NEVER used Nike or the Air Jordan brand to tear down another player or to discredit another Era. He respected the legends that came before him and allowed his Resume and his game on the court to cement his legacy.

[@MikeBNumba6]

@@theresak2024 facts. Lets also not forget Lebron's era had teams tanking all the time. Teams losing on purpose. l

[@TommyWest.]

The Hornets, Heat and Magic joined the league in '88/'89. In '92 the Heat made the playoffs. In '93 the Hornets made the playoffs and won their first round series. In '94 the Magic made the post season and a year later they'd get to the Finals. It didn't really take long for some expansion teams to compete... because during "Jordan's tenure" we also saw some of the strongest draft classes ever. 6 of the 10 greatest draft classes ever (according to BR) were during Jordan's career.

[@brianthedog2004]

Yeah, sadly most Lebron supporters like JJ are so desperate to bring MJ down that at this point they are resorting to just throwing out illogical talking points. Attempting to build up one person by trying to lower another is always transparent and sad.

i think shaq expresses the difference between the 90s ball and todays ball very well. "if they couldn't play with us, then..." they're not all that ppl are saying they are. rick barry said it well too. he was talking about how the nba admin has basically told the refs not to call obvious violations of basic dribbling and traveling rules, and that THAT is what's very much allowed modern nba players to keep hiking up points on offense. and take what shaq says about physicality and what barry says about ignoring rules and i think modern nba players wouldn't be doing as well as they are.

At what point does shaq talk about difference between the 90s and today's game? Could you maybe ping it for me?

[@phatmhat9174]

@@cyborggamer105 i dont have the time stamp but it was when he said what i quoted, "if they can't play with us." meaning that if the guys now couldn't do well against the guys in shaqs time, in shaqs time, then that tells you their scores today are inflated, because they wouldn't be able to do what they're doing now, if they were playing against the gusy in shaqs time. but rick barry put it more bluntly. they score better today because they can travel, palm the ball, and can't be touched at all without getting foul shots. think about that. if you took away the step back how many fewer points do you think players would be getting? if you took away palming, how many fewer points would players be getting? in shaqs and mjs day you couldn't really palm or step back and defense could definitely get rough. so it offense was harder. so scorers were less.

Why does Adams brothah voice sound like Carlton Banks 😆😆😆

[@seriouscash]

JJ is a national treasure in the basketball world. hes one of a kind

[@LLLLL17992]

JJ is a Lebron glazer. His NBA career amounted to nothing that is why he is insecure and try to make up it by belonging to the media and manipulating it to his favor by claiming his generation is better to justify that he did not do anything in his career because it was “harder” to play in this generation and tries to discredit and belittle the generations before him. Lebron might have the greatest playing career of all time but he is not the GOAT. Jordan is.

[@MikeBNumba6]

Only way he can be relevant. He wasn't really relevant in the NBA. A glorified spot up shooter that was supposed to be more based on how he was in college. Him and Lebron made a podcast saying they didn't want to get into a GOAT debate or things like that. And Here JJ is. Also JJ is the MAIN GUY in the media that called past players plumbers

this episode made me have a complete 180 on how I view shaq and lefkoe. Super good pod ep

[@ShooterScrappy]

Y’know. Some of the greatest basketball players ever have very shitty takes. Like, it’s concerning. It can’t be their age? They’re not losing their sanity just yet. Shaq legitimately didn’t understand the difference between a flagrant foul and gameplay.

[@prod.snqwfall1347]

Shaq actually said to a mfkn reporter, BEFORE HE EVER WON A DAMN THING IN THE LEAGUE, that he’d, and I QUOTE, “won at every level except college and the NBA”. Shaq has always been this way

[@Bearghoster]

His ego is too fragile to admit many players are more skilled today.

[@Bearghoster]

@@poorchris maybe he would, I’m not saying Shaq wasn’t great in his prime. I’m just saying that he doesn’t like giving newer players credit, especially centers. He’s always worried about how it will affect his own legacy.

[@drechillin2154]

@@Bearghostermore skilled is just a thought but most the skills you see today been the same for almost 50 years now, players today just have a green light to shoot more and still go 0/12 also your allowed to travel,carry, and palm the ball. So skill is really a false statement. Some teams would struggle if they played teams 20 years ago due to not playing fundamental basketball

[@Bearghoster]

@@drechillin2154 you’re not talking sense. The game has evolved. People weren’t taking 3s at volume 20 years ago. Now most players must be able to hit 3s to even play. That is a skill. Bigs didn’t have to do anything but score inside and play D, barely had to dribble. Shaq was remarkable cause he had moves and was massive. He could never shoot though. Very very few bigs could. Now we have many bigs who can dribble and shoot like guards. Defense has evolved too, beating people up on the court is not skill. Trapping, double teaming, navigating screens- these are skills.

[@Adam-pc8dl]

This combo is great lol I don’t like JJ by himself but he’s great with others

[@3838nygiants]

This podcast is hilarious. Shaq is the most uninformed former Legend....and JJ is the most informed basketball nerd. I'm sure JJ knew this going in, but if Shaq doesn't understand the basic difference between playing physical vs. flagrant fouls/ hard fouls...and he had to explain this, tells you all you need to know.

[@mc80466]

I thought the same thing. JJ is talking about how physical is the game ALLOWED to be played. Shaq seems to think getting into a fight once every 20 games is what makes it physical and then acts like no one in the current NBA could make it back then.

[@Clubvirg]

I really enjoyed the chemistry of these two

[@klemziusklm7248]

Shaq intro is fire every episode hehe

[@trav8787]

Can't stand Shaqs basketball stupidity. Within minutes you can see it with the physicality conversation. Glad JJ says it as it is, unbiased with most of his takes.

[@Norlhey]

is there an uncensored version of this

[@upgradeyourmindset3265]

JJ is fed up with the GOAT debate unless the Lakers won the chip this year. He would be the first one proclaiming LeBron as the best ever

[@kaydevious]

He's a hypocrite and a propagandist and a pseudointellectual. "I was up all night desperately searching for some obscure statistic that I can use to build my biased opinion around." He does what everyone else in media does now, try to put a positive spin on this league while ignoring its many shortcomings and ballwashing Lebron and whatever other superstar of the moment the league decided to prop up for revenue's sake.

Here’s what is the truth. For lebron to be goat, MJ’s achievements have to watered down, make excuses on why he won so much during his career despite all finals games are close, elimination games are close that he won. For lebron to be goat, you have to make excuses for why he lost so much despite handpicking players and building superteams!!! That there says it all. PERIOD.

[@neoand3rson]

Because jordan’s era was legit and literally trash. Stop coping

[@johnnyp5216]

MJ failed to reach the finals more than he did, Lebron not the same thing. So why do you define reaching the finals and losing as being “worse” than getting bounced in the second round

Reddick just doesn't get it. He didn't experience that era. Jordan's never lost an NBA Finals. Jordan played at a time when the game was rough and physical, so era comparisons do matter. Jordan won a defensive player of the year award, in addition to his MVP awards. How many defensive player awards did Lebron win? Jordan always played with vigor and a dont f with me attitude. Lebron would show flashes here and there, But mostly played with a softer passive attitude. The only debate here is who is the second best player of all time. You can go ahead and give that to Lebron if you want to. You really won't get much argument.
