@@Kdsmoovedab You fail to give a deeper explanation behind those stats. most of Lebrons field goals come from 2 feet or closer to the rim (meaning his fg% is high because most of his shots are right by the rim) but if you dive into deeper analytics you will see that mj's fg% is way higher than lebrons when shooting ALL across the floor from 3-20 feet. Lebron also has the most turnovers in nba history, an embarassing free throw %, No footwork, no finnesse, no post game and lacks a jump shot.

@Dats a paddlin Not taking anything away from MJ and Pippen, but you 100% correct. They can and would be elite in any era. They were arguably the best on ball defenders in NBA history. With that said they played in a big man era and they were only a handful of elite perimeter players thru the mud 80s-mid 90s. Most games they were locking down perimeter players that wouldn't even be in the league in today's game and there wasn't any hand checking rules lol. Combine the hand check and the lack of talent on the perimeter. Along with how much more athletic and talented MJ, Pippen, and Ron harper were. That equates to arguably the best defense in league history. Again MJ and Pippen, Harper could play great in any era but their defense would be more like what Kawhi can do defensively. Where they could be considered 1st team all defense. But with the rules and athleticism of today's game, their defense would be scored on frequently

[@victorperruna2396]

The Heat had the chance to be that. They underachieved. They underachieved specifically because of Lebron. The so called GOAT should've carried the Heat to a 3peat at the very least especially with his supporting cast. He promised more than 6 rings. The reason why none of Lebron's teams could be considered All Time Great teams is because of Lebron himself not living up to the potential. The argument for Lebron as the GOAT lies strictly in his cumulative stats over the course of his career and in trying to poke holes in Jordan's career. That's not a good look. Devaluing a more accomplished player's resume just to prop up the next "Chosen One" is not a good look at all.

@Dats a paddlin Facts. These producers are finally starting to read the comments from people like you and myself that've been making this argument for years. Look at those Knicks and Jazz teams with filled garbage. Bryon Russell in the famous final shot couldn't make an NBA roster today, along with half the players in the League in the 80s and 90s. In 93-94 the Bulls won 55 games and made the ECF without Jordan because #1 the Bulls were stacked (Ho Grant is a HOFer, 120 wins shares vs Rodman 90) and the NBA was not as competitive. LeBron leaves a team and they're straight to the lottery because LeBron is that great and the League is much much more competitive/talented. We just gotta keep explaining it to people. Once LeBron hits 38,000 10,000 10,000 and 5 or 6 rings, they'll start getting it.

Chris Alexandre Shaq and Ewing are the exceptions. Olajuwon and Robinson are the exceptions. But even their HOF talents would be marginalized in this Analytics, 3-pointer Era. And yes Jokic can shoot as well as post-up so yeah he’d give those HOFers fits cuz they’d have to step out on the perimeter, something they never did. Look what Christian Laettner did to Shaq in college. Shaq had to chase Laettner around the court and got completely dominated. That’s what guarding the perimeter does to Big’s. Also I love how nobody can ever counter the 55 games + ECF without MJ😂They just gloss over it by naming the 4 HOF Centers out of 100 that played during that time.

this whole conversation comes down to: can you be the greatest if you're not clutch ? The answer is ? Probably - No. Everyone in the world believes greatness is clutchness, that's what they react to instantly. Is Lebron clutch ? Not really. At least that's not the perception, and that's on him.

[@modmav5594]

As far as 3peats go, Phil Jackson and the Triangle Offense with A high scoring 2 Guard are the common factor.

[@BaXiStA]

But, Jordan was the prototype or the test subject of that Triangle offense. It's not like Jackson won before he coached Jordan so it's fair to say that Jackson benefitted as much as Jordan did whilst Kobe MORE THAN benefitted from their partnership with Jackson.

[@modmav5594]

@@BaXiStA Fair enough. I'm pointing out those common factors because the title and Analysts are now saying that Lebron Needs to 3 peat. 1. Phil was the only Coach to do so multiple times 2. He used the triangle offense with MJ & Kobe (High scoring 2 Guards). Lebron is a Pass 1st Forward 3 (Small Forward) that came straight out highschool, grew up without his bio father and has Never had a HOF coach. There is no need to compare when these are different players, with different Skills positions and roles. Just enjoy the person for what he is. A great player and multi Champion.

@@modmav5594 call me bias but really Broussard is the GOAT of analysts and he makes a great point. Though Jackson was the common denominator of those 3 peats he never actually was able to replicate it after Shaq left, even the Gasol era. What's my point? Players do matter. As with Broussard, he makes an excellent point, actually when we talk about GOATs we cherry pick since the difference between 2 GOAT candidates should be by a hair if one has to come on top. Analysts are paid to do it. I do think Broussard makes legitimate arguments to backup his claims.

I would argue that, Lebron never being on an all time great team, actually helps his case. He's never been on an all time great team and he's still won Finals MVP 4x. That's crazy!

[@dewayne33us]

No, I don't agree. He's had teams that should have been all time great teams. The argument that every uses for Lebron being goat is that he beat the Golden State Warriors and he beat San Antonio Spurs with all those hall of famers. But Lebron had 3 Hall of Famers with Miami and when Bosh gets in that will be 4. He went 2-2 with the Miami Heat. He had 3 players that I think will get into the Hall of Fame when he played with Cleveland the 2nd time. He went 1-4 with them. Now grant it that Kyrie left for Boston in 2017. But they wouldn't have beat the Golden State Warriors team that year anyways. My point is that everyone gives him credit for just going to the championship game. With the teams he's played on since 2010, he had no choice but to go to the championship and in a weak conference. I think this is his most impressive job he's done taking a team that doesn't have a bunch of hall of famers. He even played great defense this year. He had all but abandon the defensive end. I think getting Anthony Davis motivated one another to challenge the other to step up when needed.

[@maviebaby]

@@dewayne33us context is everything. Heat had... what? 1.5yrs of healthy Wade ... maybe 2yrs. That's why they lost in 2014, Wade was a shell of himself. 2011 was a debacle and they should've won that but EVERY other Finals Bron's teams have been the underdogs until the Lakers/Heat series. His teams grabbed 2 chips that they weren't even supposed to win. Ray Allen and Wade were past their prime. Being past ur prime on the Heat is different than being past ur prime on the Spurs. The Spurs invented load management while the Heat have always played hard. U can't just look at the rosters and say "this team should've been alltime great" You have to consider, the opponents, injuries, coaching, etc. Those 3 peats that Brussard talked about were all coached by the same man.

[@dewayne33us]

@@maviebaby I will agree with you on Wade. But everyone makes it seem like Lebron didn't play on great teams. Also it is up to management to keep good players around them. That is the reason he's left these teams. Michael Jordan made his teams great once he started getting good players around him. Just as Lebron James and Anthony Davis did this year. I think they challenged one another and it made both of them great. I will agree with context is everything because when they say things against Michael Jordan, they put things into context and don't always tell the whole. It is hard to judge as well because the game is played differently than how it was played back then. Both are great players and will be in the record books for a long time.

A longevity argument, and with no defense, no real skills, no Lebron James has failed period in the first finals. He's a failure, and never should have been in discussions with Michael Jordan anymore. Someone else's has to walk that walk. He will never walk the real path that Michael Jordan, has scoring titles 10 of them, 3 steal titles, over 100 blocks and over 200 steals, in back to back years. Lebron is given elite help to win chips. When he was in Cleveland for 9 years nothing. After teaming up with everyone else's chips. Same argument but one guy got allot of help from the league. The other just wanted to win at all costs with less talent than Lebron James had to do it. Michael Jordan did it himself and made his guys winners and Michael Jordan played defense and offense end of story.

Cb that’s a complete joke I’m so disappointed in you literally finding any reason to discredit LeBron kmt

[@thedudeunchained7583]

am I the only one who sees that they only compare totals, not the averages ? Clear to me that these dudes are pretty bad at math. And I hate these discussions because they force you to nitpick great players but let´s be real, saying that LeBron was better than MJ during the regular season is a joke. If LeBron was better during the regular season, how come he has never won Defensive Player of the year ? MJ did. How come LeBron has 5 all NBA first Team selections compared to the 9 MJ has. And Lebron played way more seasons so more opportunities to accomplish this but he rest on D. Still MJ has 10 scoring titles (7 of them consecutive and we know it would have been more because after he unretired he won the other 3) and LeBron (who rests on D a lot) has only one scoring title. So you have one guy who played longer but has only one scoring title, no Defensive Player Title and only 5 First team Defensive Selections but you call him better, than the guy who has in FEWER seasons won 10 scoring titles, 9 All defensive first team selections, a defensive player of the year title (BTW the only player in history to win scoring title, MVP, Defensive player in one season) and your conclusion is: LeBron is better ? Better in what ? By arguing totals, Karl Malone is better than MJ simply due to more years and so is Jabbar. You can only argue totals if the players you want to compare played the same amount of games PERIOD ! And I guess I don´t have to start on why Players that played these past 10 years have way higher scoring, rebounding and assist...the average NBA team ATTEMPTS over 20 (!!!) more 3pointers per game now than during Jordan´s time. During MJ´s last championship season, the average NBA team attempted (not made) 12.7 3pointers, in this season 2020 the average NBA team attempts 34 3pointers ! It´s simple math...more shots= more rebounds=more assists. also a result of no hand checking from free throw line to frew throw line. People in the 90s were good shooters, too. but you were allowed to control them with your hand on the hip, hence fewer threes back then. Steve Kerr still has the highes average in history and there are several 90s players in the top 10, so no people don´t shoot better, they are allowed to shoot more with less defense. But again...you don´t need to put numbers in perspective (you should) but it is NOT EVEN NEEDED to make a case for MJ as GOAT. I think Kareem has a better case than LeBron, he has more titles and won in HS and college. Also Kobe has a better case, as he won 5 titles and more scoring titles and defensive team selections. the game is played on both ends. Jordan as a guard (!) averaged 0.9 blocks per game compared to LeBron´s 0.8 who is a forward and 3 inches taller. Jordan also averaged 2.5 steals per game to LeBron´1.6 per game. How is LeBron better ? Basketball is played on BOTH ends and on D LeBron is just average while MJ was the best defensive SG his entire career. Fun Fact: MJ at age 40 (!!!) as a Wizard with bad knees, averaged more Steals per game than LeBron over his past 5 years. That is how much MJ hustled on D. Matter of fact, a 40 year old MJ on the Wizards also averaged the SAME number of blocks per game as LeBron did this season.

🤔 "Bron has Jordan beat in every statistical category"... 😑 doesn't bring up any defense statistics or the DPOY Jordan has smh

[@gernblanston2905]

Because they aren't playing defense under the same rules so, you can't really make a comparison.

@@gernblanston2905 that's a horrible response bro..

[@gernblanston2905]

@@chuckiechuck1065 no, it's not. If it was you could easily refute it and you can't. When Jordan played you could hand check, you were allowed to be more aggressive on D, you didn't have to cover the three, the zone wasn't allowed. I could go on. Comparing defense when Jordan played to today is comparing boxing to ballroom dancing. They are two entirely different things.
