MJ is the GOAT. But I think Bird and Magi made basketball cool. that rivalry along with some other players (Dr J, Kareem, Hakeem, Worthy, etc) made the NBA legit competition of the NFL. The next phase MJ, Barkley, Shaq, etc continued the legacy. But something happened and now the NBA is an after thought. That alone should show why Lebron is not the GOAT. So many do not care about the NBA or to see Lebron play. Everyone was watching the NBA and Jordan back in the day.

@@nunyabusiness7927 But, if you compare the number of games they played, you find one reason for Lebron lasting so long. He played all 82 regular games just once in his career, Mike did it 9 times. Also the physicality of the game made players last a shorter time back then.

[@lintroller09]

Jordan was on a different level than every athlete in his time. And today. People talk about how Floppy is bigger and stronger. Magic said Michael was the strongest athlete he’d ever seen. Not talking about just basketball. Bobby Knight said Jordan was the best basketball player and athlete he’d ever seen. And that was in 1984. There aren’t any players today that compare to MJ. Kobe took the right route and had a lot of the talent but still wasn’t MJ. RIP Kobe.

What younger people need to realize is that basketball was a niche sport till Jordan. He made it popular worldwide. Very few here in New Zealand were watching and playing basketball regularly till round 92, 93.

[@Dboogie-c4m]

Bro we understand that, like really we do. But OLDER people need to understand just because he popularized a sport doesn’t mean he’s the goat. In fact it actually proves the contrary. Basketball wasn’t no where near as evolved as it is today and a lot of the games players in the league were unathletic space fillers (there to just be big and brutal) and the league made Jordan the front man to push the sport to another level nationally and globally (the release of Air Jordan’s and the dream team) but NOW that the sport is Evolved (thanks to Michael Jeffrey Jordan- there I said his full name because I knew that’d give you a massive hard on) the players now nationally and globally are just on another level skillfully, athletically, and all the above.

I had the privilege of living in Chicago and going to many Bulls games in the 90’s during the double 3-peat. For me, IMHO, Michael Jeffrey Jordan was the most incredible athlete that I’ve ever seen play the game! He had every asset and seemingly no liabilities. He could do anything and everything with a basketball AND was absolutely beautiful while doing it. He’s the definition of poetry in motion. MJ’s will to win was second to none! He thrived in the 4th quarter of close games and he loved the pressure of those moments. He would not be denied when a championship was at stake and he could not be stopped! Also, the physicality of the game during MJ’s days was off the hook! He was hit & pushed on a multitude of his shots but that type of contact was legal back then. MJ was never the biggest dude on the court but he was BEAST MODE all the time - strong & athletic with an agile, liquid body. Kobe picked the right person to model his game after. The MAN was UNDEFEATED in the NBA Finals during the most physical era In basketball (IMHO). He played both ends of the floor like he was possessed.

Dude! I got madd respect for you. You have just said out loud, what I’ve been arguing with my friends about for the last 10 years. First, I’ve never heard someone say it out loud, that Kobe’s game was patented after Jordan’s. He clearly took all the moves, walk, mannerisms, and even the tongue out during the game. Now, I will say that none of that takes away from his greatness and accolades, because he still had to play the game, and no one can deny that he went hard every game. Also, King James is the goat…..but, OF THIS ERA. He has garnered crazy respect for what he has brought to the game of today but JORDEN IS TRULY THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME. I’ve never been a fan of Kobe or James but, I’ve absolutely have been a fan on MJ every since he entered the league and he will always be my number one of the past, present, and future.

[@rockerforlife194]

I've been watching the NBA since the 1970s and I've never seen anyone else who even compares to MJ. MJ is the GOAT! Period.

[@tiredoffools8929]

Every single game MJ played with the BULLS had highlights in it. Every single game. Lebron definitely got MJ on longevity, but we are comparing all the accomplishments MJ had in just 13 seasons (Officially its 15 seasons, but 2 seasons were under 18 games played so let's be real) to Lebron's now 20 year career. Think about that. Lebron has had way more time (almost 7 yrs) to rack up total stats, and yet hasn't yet reached MJ's peak to this day. During a season does anyone care about total stats. Do we say Luka right now has 1301 points this season or do we say he is averaging 34.2 per game. You feel me? Now will Lebron gaining the total point scoring title make him better than MJ. Kareem has always had more total points than MJ and he wasn't better than MJ, so no. Put it this way.....If a player averaged 50 ppg for 3 years straight and dies from a car accident, and another player averaged 20 points a game for 10 years, do you really think that 20 ppg player was better then the 50 ppg player? The 20 ppg player would have scored more total points because of playing 7 more years (longevity), but in no universe was that player a better scorer than the 50 ppg player. That's why career PPG is more important. Kareem's career PPG was only 24.6ppg. Bron's is 27.2 and MJ's was 30.1 Also, look at peak scoring years for all three players- PEAK: Bron - 31.4ppg, Kareem - 34.8ppg, MJ - 37.1ppg MJ's is 6pt higher than LBJ and he shot the 3 less than half the time LBJ did. Think about that. MJ had to work harder scoring on twos, and still has 3 buckets per game on LBJ. The fact that MJ accomplished more and won more in less time seals it for MJ. He did more in less time against a brutal defensive minded league and he didn't take the easy way and construct superteams to cakewalk to the finals like today's players have. He used whatever teammates the organize got. That makes a huge difference when judging careers. As spectacular as Lebron can be, he does rest of D to manufacture the energy for his points. I don't respect that because not playing D makes your team lose games. MJ exerted energy on both sides of the ball and was playing elite offense and elite defense. Kareem had natural height and for the most part of his career he was in the paint waiting for blocks with no 3 sec rule. So his defensive feats don't impress me as much. MJ had to earn his blocks and steals by chasing for them. Nothing wrong with having Bron as your favorite player. It's just when this topic of "Goat" comes along most are eager for their favorite player to be the Goat. It's always best to look at all the factors and remain as unbias as we can, so we can appreciate true greatness.

Don't forget that it took 20 seasons for LeBron to catch Kareem while Kareem I'm pretty sure only ever shot maybe 1 3 his whole career.

Haha yeah. It was more difficult to dunk back in the days, IMO, because there wasnt defensive 3 seconds, which means anyone can stay in the paint to guard anyone who tries to slash to the basket. Today, nobody can stay in the paint for more than 3 seconds. People still can dunk these days but I think it is more impressive when Jordan dunks, even when there’s 2,3, or 4 people trying to stop him.

[@masculinitymatters9030]

I'm 51 and enjoyed your objective production and commentary. In my opinion MJ is the goat because he never cheated the fans, like never. He played 82 games practically every season, exerting max effort. I knew parent were saving up there money to invest in the opportunity for their family to see him. He said he never wanted to leave without a show, without highlights and memories. When he didn't play 82, he still gave 80-81 games. Additionally, it was such a treat to fans for a star of his magnitude to compete in the dunk contest. He risked embarrassment, damaging his image and brand...however he went out and showed out, nailing every dunk the first time. Kobe had MJs supreme confidence and self belief. Not a Bron hater but I've seen him shrivel in big moments, quit on the court, not give his all on defense, load manage etc... MJ played most of his games, had as high if not higher minutes played than LeBron and Kobe. MJ played harder on defense during his older Wizards years than Lebron has most of his season.

[@snakebitten6967]

Best post. Can’t say it any better. LBJ is great but the facts show he is not goat. His game has many flaws, he is not a great shooter and he is not great defensively. LBJ is the greatest jack of all trades but master of none. MJ was also a jack of all trades but he mastered most of them. The ones that won you chips he mastered. Defense, offense, mental toughness, leader, shooting and scoring, loyalty to team and teammates, blocks, steals and a host of other intangibles. Brons greatness is his longevity. Goat at that even though there is evidence of it being aided allegedly. He is not great at shooting, defense, loyalty to team and teammates, not mentally tough, not a great leader on both ends of court, and makes excuses for his failures and blames teammates and coaches. There is no contest between these two. Biggest mistake Lebron and his media shill pals made was starting the media brainwashing 13 years ago about Bron being better than MJ. All that did was expose his flaws more than they were.

So Russ had to exert more energy and drive hard to the hole, he just didn't have the legs when he got there...noone called time out. Bron stood there, not making himself a target for Russ.
