Michael Jordan vs Kobe Bryant vs Lebron James - Who Is The Greatest [HD]

[@sportsteve24]

LeBron isn't as good as Jordan or Kobe.

[@kbjefford]

MJ and Kobe have the most heart in basketball i have ever seen, their passion in the game inspires me, they created what is known today as the NBA and basketball itself, words cannot describe as much greatness and skill these two individuals have in something that is just a game but then more then one.

[@1bzoe]

It's unfortunate that some people down voted the video. You really put a lot into this video; some people just can't appreciate and many don't understand the time put in.

[@icanandiwill3721]

Lebron no fight for MJ that's all......

[@whoisgabo2389]

Music like that , Pearl harbord soundtrack!!! But, Jordan's the god, LJ and KB are simple mortal...

[@artjogo]

JOHAN ACOSTA good comment but sorry man LBJ is the only mortal for walking off the court in the finals for a cramp. Kobe shot two clutch free throws with a torn Achilles. But without Dr. J there would be no Jordan, without Jordan there would be no Kobe or Lebron.

[@Siegfried92140]

Arthur Gomez without Larry bird, Magic Johnson and others there would be no Jordan. Genius in the place smh

[@treggfisher]

Lebron might have more sheer ability and Kobe might have more pure grit, but nobody can put it all together like Michael Jordan did. That's why he is the greatest.

[@Inkadu4You]

To end the discussion: Lebron - Greatest physique. Kobe - Greatest Scorer. Jordan - Greatest Player.

[@potcomadman011]

This discussion will never end.

[@jcanimus6700]

I was a young kid during the Jordan era but I still watched his complete games. I watch Lebron now and he's just top notch. But anyone who's really watched Kobe and the control he can have over the game knows, that man is something else.

[@Bidwellz9]

look at his career fg%, id beg to differ

[@jcanimus6700]

Bidwellz9 If you based control over a game on FG% then you really don't know basketball man

Damn dude, Michael talking at the end with the music you put in. Fucking gave my goosebumps. Really beautiful way to end the video bro. Amazing mix showcasing 3 of the best players to ever play the game. Re-watching MJ's speech at the end as I type, goosebumps all day.

FACTS! 50+Win Teams Beaten In The Playoffs(SERIES won NOT games): Kobe - 24 Jordan - 20 Lebron -7 Jordan is GOAT! Jordan and Kobe faced harder competition, Lebron is GREAT and GOAT SF, but he has always had cakewalks to the finals! Jordan > Kobe > Lebron

[@OwndItAll]

RBTheBreakThrough Ah, the greatest SF thing is debatable, but nice to see a productive comment on this video XD

[@OwndItAll]

***** Does it? I believe it does. If Larry Bird is a better small forward, in what way could Lebron be a better player?

[@OwndItAll]

***** Okay. Shooting: Bird-9 Lebron-7 Passing: Bird-8 Lebron-8 Rebounding: Bird-8 Lebron- 7 Athleticism: Bird- 5 Lebron-10 Defense: Bird- 7 Lebron-8 Mentality: Bird- 9 Lebron-6 Ball Handling: Bird- 7 Lebron-8 Bird: 53 Lebron: 52 Bird>Lebron :)

[@hunterlegacy5633]

***** Bird was averaging 6-7 ast most of his career Very similar passers tbh

[@hunterlegacy5633]

***** Lebron is 6'8.. Bird is 6'9 xD But I agree yes LBJ is a more skillful passer but Bird was just as good at MAKING plays :P

[@CDiP2277]

I am a huge LeBron fan; however, the glaring difference between LeBron and MJ are those defining last 2-4 minutes of the game. MJ had that intense mental toughness and LeBron wasn't born with that. Instead, LeBron is trying to develop it and he has surely come a long way (but still not close to Michael). In the end, LeBron is a much nicer person than MJ was... and 'Nice guys finish last'. Next, Kobe was cut from a similar cloth as MJ, but he will never reach the level of admiration that MJ does. Simply because many people discount 3 of his 5 rings as being won by Shaq (avg. 36 pts in 3 Finals) and not Kobe (avg. 23 pts in 3 Finals).

[@CDiP2277]

***** He played a role for sure. But being a role player is different than being the team's MVP. Jordan was Finals MVP with all 6 rings. He was never ever a role player as Kobe was with Shaq.

[@TheGiantKiller8]

MJ IS THE GREATEST OK. He can't be surpassed unless Lebron wins 4 more titles and becomes clutch as MJ

[@CDiP2277]

TheGiantKiller8 In my eyes, Jordan is the best individual player and had better teams. But Lebron is the best overall player who makes his teammates much better than they are. For instance, when Jordan left the Bulls to play baseball the team still made it to the eastern conf finals. When Lebron left the Cavs they became the worst team in basketball (over 60 wins with him, the over 60 losses without him the next year).

[@sauelalmonte]

CDiP2277 MJ was a 1 man team bro. Remember he left the bulls, the bulls lost that year, MJ came back and they won.

[@CDiP2277]

Solito/AllMyPeopleLoco I would pay money to see MJ play against 5 other NBA guys, please. Overall, the Heat were not the best team. They had no rebounding or down low presence. Any one of Jordan's Bulls teams (without Jordan) would crush last year's Heat (without LeBron). Wade is done and Bosh is maybe a top 20 player. Why does everyone forget all of the Hall of Famers Jordan played with? I'm not knocking Jordan, individually he is better than LeBron. But we could speculate and argue all day. The single fact in all of this is the Bulls made it to the Eastern Conf Finals after Jordan went to play baseball. That is irrefutable. Saying the game was harder then only proves my point more that the Bulls were a great team. Saying who is better at defense in certain situations is speculation, NOT FACT. Were are the numbers to back that statement? Lastly, some people may forget Jordan's ridiculous talent, but most give him so much credit it makes me sick. Case in point, saying he could beat 5 NBA players single-handedly. That comment is pure stupidity.

[@rhcp5351]

Incredible video. Respect to each of these players. The game wouldn't be the same without any of them

[@cucklord7991]

1. Jordan 2. Kobe 3. LeBron

[@cucklord7991]

No I'm fine and also this is just my opinion out of these three.

[@9flagco300]

people like this are annoying!They compare everything!this video gave me good mood after hard work,then saw your comment my all good mood has gone!

[@cucklord7991]

Your very enotional

[@9flagco300]

STATIC GRIFFIN thank you

[@cucklord7991]

Yeah but I'd rather not

[@TheAngelinhell0]

I have watched this way too many times lol. Very nice job on the video!!!!!

[@Strider-Ragnarok]

I like what was said here: "they deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Michael Jordan" true, but MJ STILL is the greatest. Never forget that he played on the hardest era of the NBA, where hall of fame talent was spread all over the states, where defense wasn't limited by stupid rulings, where teams were so much physical than it is today and Jordan could play on both sides of the court not just offensive.

[@levilands7578]

i feel like lebron couldve dominated in tha era too. he plays both sides of the ball very well and todays nba has got it in his head that everything is a foul back then he wouldve adapted his shooting game a lot faster since he knew he'd have contact every play. but yeah mj will be better until lebron gets the rings a far as skill in my opinion the are just about equal. kobe is just a scorer so in the mj lebron kobe list he is

[@KodyRF1993]

Let's just take a look at the NBA Final games records. That's when the games matter the absolute most obviously. Let's see what each record is. MJ - 24-11, Kobe - 23-15, Lebron 11-15. This really marks who's the greatest. How you perform in the big time moments. That separates the best from the rest

[@RickyMoss]

Kobe played with the greatest center in the NBA during the time of his first 3 championships.. the finals MVP in every year of their 3peat

[@KodyRF1993]

Ricky Moss and Lebron had Wade and Bosh. The 2 guys who he thought would help him win championships in Miami. So my post remains accurate.

[@FoolKickRocks]

Ehh , the 2007 finals can't really be counted. On paper sure but if you watched that series it was 1 vs 5 , everyone can honestly say that. D wade isnt the same. After the 2014 finals its oblivious to even say d wade produced anything. Chris Bosh as well.

[@HeatKings]

So i guess bill russel is the greatest, he never lost in the finals.

[@manakoebunz]

leading your team into the playoffs doesnt matter?(season MVPs)... stats? finals MVPs? whos more clutch? whos the better leader? better teammate? EVERYTHING matters..

[@vaportrailuniversity6256]

That was beautiful. I have my opinions, but will keep them to myself. Good job on the vid!

[@marshbey]

Lebron James is not even in the discussion!!! The Illuminatit has chosen him and he is the man at the time. Nothing more nothing less. Great Player and all but he is not better the Jordan or close to it and not even better then Kobe. If it wasnt for Wade, Ray Allen and Chris Bosh helping bail him out he wouldnt even have those Rings.

[@Thecouchwalker]

Basketball is a the team orientated sports so when we argue about the greatest the only thing you can bring up is the statistics n_b_a championships take a team to win not 1 player so rings is definitely the wrong way to rate a player Championships were all that mattered Bill Russell would be the greatest player of all time and Robert Horry would be better than the Charles Barkley and we all know that's not the truth facts are LeBron is a career 27 points per game with seven rebounds and seven assists Michael Jordan is 30 points per game with 6 rebounds 6 assit and Kobe is 25 points per game with 5 assist and five rebounds

[@Thecouchwalker]

Men lie women lie numbers just don't and please keep in mind that basketball is a team sport in just because a player has more rings than you doesn't mean he's better than you that's like saying dereck fisher is better than allen iverson

[@Thecouchwalker]

Just because you are a fan of a player doesn't mean the player that you back is better then the player you don't like it's extremely clear that you are a Lebron hater

[@marshbey]

If you put Mike, Kobe, and Lebron Career stats up against each other Lebron wins in no category, i mean nothing!!! So how in the hell is he better then MIKE or KOBE. The man didnt even win the MVP this year, he is not even the best now. KEvin Durant is killing him. Men lie, Woman lie..numbers dont.

[@Thecouchwalker]

marshbey lebron averages more points per game rebounds steals blocks and assist then kobe look it up on google #FACTS

Nice Vid... All great players, but Kobe has put in WORK in 3 eras (MJ,Kobe,LBJ) Good Video The Big Dipper Studio for not being bias...

[@GBamaBoy]

MJ and Kobe. No one else is on that level. Lebron is on the level with Bird, Magic, Kareem, Wilt and Durant. I like all the guys. Jordan was rare and amazing. But Kobe has done things with a ball that is insane. This guy was easily the most naturally gifted. Ask Phil Jackson.

[@012345678925064]

Did you just put Kobe above Magic AND Bird? Kobe isn't even the greatest Laker, Jordan is the GOAT but LeBron COULD surpass him but the way people/media put a certain criteria on him, I doubt that he'll do it. Larry AND Magic are way better than Kobe and both were all around players, Durant isn't even up there with Larry, Magic, or Wilt. Kobe is great but don't be so disrespectful. I can argue that LeBron has already surpassed Kobe on the all-time list.

[@TheULMOnaut]

samonthecreek You as a Lakers fan put Kobe over Kareem and Magic? Shame on you!

[@dennisjr77]

TheULMOnaut Kobe has more rings than those two, but Kareem and Magic TOGETHER are more valueable that Kobe.

[@TheULMOnaut]

Dennis Leavitt Kareem alone in his prime or Magic alone in his prime are both better than Kobe alone in his prime. Magic has 5 Rings and 3 Finals MVPs, Kareem has 6 rings and 2 Finals MVPs.

[@samonthecreek]

TheULMOnaut BAHAH. Okay.

[@TheChannelThatTimeForgot]

Jordan. It's not about rings. It's about the player. And no-one has EVER done it better than Michael Jordan.

[@antoniobasic5497]

how can that be?he was phenomenal player,hands down,but would he be able to carry that miserable cavs 2007 team even to playoffs?

[@TheChannelThatTimeForgot]

A miserable team doesn't get the best record in the league. Lebron didn't score every bucket. Make every pass, get every rebound. He had a strong team around him. They weren't stars, but they were playing above their level that season. Yes, he elevated their play, but they were simply nothing more than a well oiled unit that year. Similar to the 94 Houston Rockets. Outside of Hakeem - they had no big hitters, yet they still steam rolled everyone and won a championship because they played TEAM ball. Of course Jordan could have done the same with the Cavs.

[@antoniobasic5497]

daveberg69 he went to miami and cavs won maybe 20 games,thats not miserable for you?

[@TheChannelThatTimeForgot]

So again - I ask, did Lebron score every point for Cleveland? Did he get every rebound? Did he play 48 minutes every game? Did he play 1v5? Of course he didn't - it was a TEAM effort. Of course he was the defining factor, but the team played out of their minds that year, I watched enough of their games to know that. It's just a fan boy myth that LBJ did it 'all on his own'. Nobody does it alone. Teams win games, not individuals.

[@AlistaireJedPAmar]

antonio basic when you say miserable how about the bulls back then? they were 2nd worst team in the season for jordan got drafted then came MR. jordan then what happened? the CITY EXPLODE w/ hopes.... so tell cavs was miserable than bulls

[@TriceOfficial]

[@SayLesNyC]

[@anthonypoulain51]

Les J D Thank you !

[@rhianimal19]

MJ > Kobe > LBJ. It's that simple. LBJ ain't even close to the Black Mamba, so putting him and MJ in the same sentence is ridiculous. MJ played in the era of Bird, Magic, and the Bad Boys. That's what made him so GD tough. MJ playing in THIS league in THIS time right now would average 40 a game. He'd be burning alla their asses every night without even trying hard

[@LeBron4TimeMVP]

Kobe=not better then LeBron in any statistical category....well...maybe one...Kobe= the all-time leader...lololol...in....lmaooo...bricks....LOL

[@rhianimal19]

Kobe is a winner. Period. MJ is a winner. Period. LBJ? Kinda sorta? Not in the same league with those guys. Plays in a soft era. LBJ would be gettin the hell beat outta him night in and night out back in the days of Barkley and The Worm. And he don't like contact, never has. He may pad his stats, but he'll never be seen as good as MJ or Kobe. That's a fact. LBJ won't win nothing in CLE now that they traded away all that number one picks talent. K-Love? LOL. Great White Hype is more like it.

[@xtmac13x]

Spiffy Turtle …. lbj has surpassed kobe so yes he does deserve to be in the same category as mj. Many hall of famers from larry's era said so themselves that lebron would have adapted and still probably the best. Lebron is 270 he would still be doing what he does now in that era. If your going to grade them on anything do it by Finals mvp and reg season mvp that shows who is the best player in the league and best player on their team when they won the championship.

[@xtmac13x]

mj played against a lot of washed up players lol. Larry bird was beating that ass until the injuries came. All the players he faced were as old as the fossils still being dugged up. In this era were players are bigger faster and stronger he is not scoring 40ppg sorry.

[@rhianimal19]

LBJ surpassed Kobe? How's that? What are you on, acid? LOL

[@jasonthecanadian]

MJ is the greatest and it`s already over for Lebron to catch him, just like Kobe. So the conversation is between Kobe and Lebron and as of right now, Kobe is better on pure career. At the end, I suspect Lebron will be ahead of Kobe but you never know what can happen. Injuries etc. MJ, game for game, stat for stat and the era he played in objectively show his as the GOAT.

[@EnduringArts]

MJ - 41011 minutes played. Kobe - 45567 minutes played. Lebron - 33276 minutes played. Kobe ran out of time and Lebron is soon to follow. MJ's stats are insane if you consider he only really played 11 seasons with what he did.

[@averagehotguy]

your basing your opinion on championships which is wrong. I'm not saying they don't matter but they arnt everything.

[@waltercollins2270]

averagehotguy Championships are everything, that's what they're playing for, that's all that matters in the end

[@averagehotguy]

so what you are saying is that mj is not the best basketball player because he doesn't have the most championships.

[@MorphLegacy]

Michael Jordan is the greatest player of all time. the only player that should be in the same sentence is Kobe Bryant. Lebron STILL has a long way to go but he will go down as one of the BEST players to play the game. BUT, If you sit there and say you would choose LeBron to have the ball in the last seconds of the game over Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant. You just don't watch basketball.

[@RickyMoss]

No.. theres a few players between MJ and Kobe but MJ is the greatest

[@Amick44]

***** Thank you! West, Robertson, Baylor all could be named over Kobe. Who

[@chimbatete]

In the finals, I would want the ball in LBJs hands first than Kobe as Kobe may chuck it up. For regular season though, Kobe is great at last second shots. Just remember that for every highlight of Kobe forcing shots in, you don't see them misses.

[@vilepium]

lebron surpassed MJ and KOBE at 28 years old. they just got the better team, even the prime bulls wont win against how the spurs played in the 2014 finals .

[@Tippotipo]

Except that Lebron had more played games than MJ at 28 years-old and started early in the NBA at around 18 years-old while MJ came later after finishing his college career in North Carolina University. Speaking about Prime Bulls vs 2014 Spurs, are you joking? Prime Bulls will obliterate them like no tomorrow because the current rule will make Prime Bulls unstoppable especially with Jordan as team leader, Pippen as blocker and stealer, Rodman as the garbage collector in term or rebound, Kukoc as the six man and the rest of bench with sharp shooters like Steve Kerr. 2014 Spurs would have to deal with other 1990's teams first where physical contacts, tougher defenses and big athletic centers ruled before facing Prime Bulls especially the 1996 edition with the historical 72 wins and only 10 losses.

[@bangomargit]

Prime Bulls was THE best team in NBA history. You cant say they couldnt won against the Spurs, becouse its two different era. Anyone who saying thing like that are just retards. Oh and Lebron surpassed neither MJ nor Kobe yet. If he would won this year, then you could mention him with those two, but seeing his performance in the finals, pls just shut up.

[@vilepium]

look at the stats.

[@cmv1810]

He hasn't surpassed anything, maybe Kobe, but not Jordan. Lebron and Kobe both played right out of high school, Jordan played college and also missed a season and a half when he retired the first time. He would have likely had 8 titles instead of 6 if he hadn't missed that year and a half. Anyone who says that Lebron is better than Jordan or Kobe has not watched Jordan or even Kobe play in their primes, the reality is, James is a top 10 all time player, but not the greatest ever, not even close. Stats don't necessarily tell the story my friend, Anyone who thinks that doesn't really understand basketball.

[@cmv1810]

Yup, your completely right, but trying to convince the modern day Lebron fanboys who never saw guys like Jordan, Magic, Kobe, Bird, etc playing in their prime that he is no where near the greatest ever is like telling a rock to get up and walk, it just won't happen.

[@Ellesar1978]

[@Lapdawg1911]

MJ had better shot selection than Kobe. Pure physical basketball talent; I think they are equal. Ive seen Kobe physically do everything Mike could do. But Kobe emulated his game after MJ. MJ emulated no one. He created the phenomenon of himself (the gold standard). Mike wasnt trying to be better than someone else, Kobe has always been aspiring to be Mike (not his fault just the way it is) If Kobe would have stayed with Shaq and won 7 or 8 rings? I dont know if it would have helped is case. Maybe. 81 points against any team is certainly a feat that Ill always remember Kobe for.

There you have it folks the answer is simply Kobe Bryant

[@dopebasketballmixes8678]

This video might be the best video I've ever seen!!

[@will864sya]

The competition factor has to come up, MJ had to go up against better comp. back then when they were playing actual defense. Besides Spurs, Thunder, and maybe Clippers what other legitimate championship teams do kobe and LeBron face?

[@egvrebdvtrB]

pacers maybe bulls

[@GoldenOryn]

yes less teams that are good but the tams that are good way surpass most teams when mj played the thunder and rockets could beat every team but maybe two from MJs era but the spurs would have beat the bulls

[@will864sya]

countrysinger89 the spurs probably would've beat the team that helped him get his first 3 championships, but the 96-98 teams I don't see it. And I could see the Knicks, Rockets, Suns, Sonics, Jazz, and Pacers from MJ's era giving the rockets and the thunder from this era hell in a 7 game series

[@TheGiantKiller8]

MJ played vs the best, bird, magic, hakeem, malone, stockton

[@donkilluminati4883]

Jordan DID NOT playgainst better competition than Kobe and LBJ , dont even try that , watch the tape ..only difference was hand check

[@musicsdarkangel]

MJ during his prime 1st 3 peat championship - 1991 32 and 11 APG average, 1992 35 and 7, 1993 finals record 41 PPG and 9 rb… all on blistering efficiency and .450 from 3, ridicullous steals + turnover ratios. Lebron hasn't even sniffed that once. When Lebron has a 45 point playoff game, its one of the best games of his career. MJ AVERAGED 45 PPG in a playoff series (1992 against Miami). It's really not close. 10 scoring titles damned near consecutively, the year MJ played point guard he averaged 32, 8 and 8, closer to a triple double average than Lebron or Kobe's ever had. He has more legendary moments in the finals than anyone by far - 1991 12 field goals straight and "the move" against the lakers, 1992 the 6 3's in a half finals record and "shrug" 1993 the record PPG and game winner, 1998 the "flu game" a game winner, game winning assist, and of course last game as a bull the consecutive lay-up, steal, and game winner pad-on-the-butt to Russell. Lebron and Kobe are amazing, but MJ was legendary. Winning DPOY and scoring title in the same year? Meaning he was best on both ends of the court? That's insane. NBA record 72 win season? 2 3-peats straight, ALWAYS outplaying his opponent? Lebron's let his matchup Kawhi win finals MVP, Kevin Durant outscore him, his own teammate Wade and Dirk outplay him, as well as Duncan/Parker all in the finals. Who ever outplayed MJ? Exactly. Most amazing - he did it in an era where rules allowed big men to dominate, wait in the lane, and guards could not score as easily. He did it at the shooting guard position, unstoppable midrange game. As Lebron ages, he will decline fairly rapidly. He won't be averaging 30 at age 34 like MJ, let alone 23 at age 39, shattering oldest player scoring records. Can you imagine Lebron averaging only 3 PPG less 9 years from now?

[@slantband]

What a video!!! Great job. THE REAL BIG THREE

[@Methadone4Life]

MJ,Kobe,Lebron..but that is just those three,for those of us who have watched many players that get left out of this equation such as West,Baylor,Robertson,Kareem,Wilt,Russell,Bird,Magic are just a few that should be in the conversation but many 30 and under always leave them out. The game changes,styles change and the older taped footage may look a bit dated and comical to the youth,however,you take any of the great players and put them in this era and they would be just as good and probably much better! Why? Imagine those players with todays rules where you cant hand check or use a forearm on defense the way you could back in the day? Kobe played when that kind of defense was still played but guys like Bron,Melo and todays players have no idea of how physical the game was back then. Yes,players may get bigger and stronger but if the past generations had the same nutritional info,workout equipment and supplements one can only imagine how great they would be! Imagine Wilt with todays advantages! Imagine a Jerry West that is even stronger and faster and with a 3 point line..how many would he average? How bout Nique with some of today's equipment..how much higher would he jump? He already jumped higher than most can imagine..unless you ever watched him play live!! So,yes,its fun to compare and that is what sports is about,however,it is very unfortunate that today's youth totally forget the past,heck,Kobe was considered the best in the game as recent at 2010-11 and even after one of his best seasons ever last year,he was totally left out of the conversation despite changing his style to a Lebron style for a stretch and doing it as well as any! All of them are great but there is that competitiveness that you see in MJ and Kobe that I think separate them a tad from Bron. Last years all-star game was a perfect example,can you imagine had another great player challenged MJ or Kobe in that game and blocked their shots on consecutive attempts?? They would have KILLED to get some revenge...Bron just sort of shrugged it off and that was it. I think that is the one thing lacking from the package for Lebron. He is competitive but doesn't have that "win at all costs or die trying" attitude that MJ,Kobe or even Bird and Magic possess. I don't think he was quite as tough mentally as those two. Well,we can debate forever and it will remain a matter of opinion. Peace.

[@jeff2403]

we all know MJ is the GOAT. the real question is "who is the next best to MJ" for me it's KOBE. But i know that lebron is gonna pass MJ and KOBE statistically based. but the talent, the love, the impact, the passion that mj and kobe had. i think no one is comparable to them.. maybe in future :) for me MJ>>>>KOBE>>> then the next generation is LEBRON=,KD ROSE=CURRY=HARDEN=WESTBROOK ETC. :) :) :) LOVE NBA! :)

[@j.thomasprolifykj9255]

What we will never see but I feel is the true measuring stick would be seeing how Jordan played today, with today's competition (in his prime). True Jordan was ahead of his time in terms of ability and the game was very physical in terms of fouls that were allowed during Jordan's time. Nonetheless we cannot ignore the 1 HUGE factor that simply can't be denied. Player's today are bigger, stronger, and faster than they've ever been which means there would be less need to foul a player to stop him. Instead we're seeing them flat out play defense. Every now and again you will see the "smart foul" to stop the easy score but in most cases players are WORKING for the points they earn on the court today (as they should).

[@TranscendingPolygons]

Smh. MJ is the ONLY player in NBA history who could take a time machine from the 1980's and play today 30 YEARS later. AND yes HE WOULD still lead the league in scoring and steals. Greatness is something you DO NOT understand. ALL the greatest player's in the last 20 year's have been studying MJ. ALL have failed.... MJ IS a nuclear bomb in the history of the NBA. He was beating the best player's BEFORE he even was in the league (1983 usa vs nba all stars). His 12 seasons stats with the bulls ARE better & WAY BETTER in the playoffs then Lebron's Lebron NEEDS more work and reminds me of a Karl malone/Scottie pippen hybrid. Scottie was a BETTER defender also. And as if you didn't know MJ would put 60+ points FREQUENTLY on Scottie in their many practices. The size of Lebron is overstated, Shawn Kemp would dunk right on his ass. The league today has DEVOLVED just like people today. It's soft, and just like studies have PROVEN, people today are LESS smart then before due to reliance on TECHNOLOGY. While people have more multitasking abilities, their memory and individual thought HAS DECREASED. EVERYTHING NEW *IS NOT* BETTER. And even non athletic Larry Bird would give Lebron trouble. It's about SKILL, IQ, CREATIVITY. Lebron like a lot of players are just manufactured copies, robots. He WILL NOT be remember as MJ has been and will continue to be.

[@j.thomasprolifykj9255]

TranscendingPolygons you clearly have some feelings and thoughts that shouldn't be directed towards me and because of this I started not to answer but I'll say this: I'm an MJ fan first of all and I truly recognize what it is to be GREAT! This is why in no shape, form, or fashion would I attempt to discredit Lebron even though I'm a bigger fan of Kobe. Both of them are greats. Another thing is that if there's anybody who says time and physicality has nothing to do with the advancement or progression of the game is simply CLUELESS. I'm not taking shots at you man but the denial of such is just insane!!!

[@j.thomasprolifykj9255]

TranscendingPolygons addressing the technology statement: We aren't talking about robots here, talking humans and the 2 besides MJ in this discussion are individuals with very high basketball IQ's. If Kobe's moves aren't creative enough for you then I don't see how MJ's moves would even make for discussion here. REALLY! Especially when MJ claims he's stole all of his moves.

[@TranscendingPolygons]

J. Thomas Prolifyk J 1) My apologies first of all. It would seem I was directing my thoughts on the subject directly at you. 2) Clearly, there are things for you to still learn about BB. Kobe for example ONLY copied the "old MJ" from 95-98. Kobe *could not* have copied young MJ, because *no one* has done some of things he did. Not before his time and not since. We see pieces of it here and there in all the players of the last 20 years. 3) Having watched MJ start out and the following... Grant Hill Penny Allen Kobe Vince Tmac Lebron Durant MJ in many ways is still better then these players. And not just statistically and achievements either. But on so many other levels also. 4) A few interesting facts not many people mention. Look at the beginning and end of ALL the greatest players in NBA history. You will notice how most of them start off slow like Kobe for example (not Jordan) and when they get to the end of their career, "the new upcoming" players beat them as they get older. In Kobe's case it's Lebron and Durant. This occurrence happens *a lot* in the NBA history. BUT when MJ left the Bulls he was still top dog at the end of his career, even though MANY players tried to show him up. And when he was a rookie (unlike Kobe) he was schooling the MVP of the league. Even when MJ was 40 years old and still breaking records with the horrible Wizards, he would still hold his own against all the top guns. Usually by that time you're lucky if you can come off the bench and put up 10 points. You'll understand this as you get older. MJ changed his game after his first retirement comeback, into a more post up/shooter player and still lead the league. Just in case you don't know, that has NEVER happened before in the NBA. Everything Kobe is doing MJ already has done, *BUT* Kobe has great longevity, which cannot be denied. Here's hoping he can play well for a couple seasons. 5) Lastly, what are the most athletic players today in the league? Because I think I know the answers to that question, and I can of a number of players who can match those players in speed and leaping from the 80's, 90's, 00's. How much more athletic is today's game? Is it sooo much more athletic really? Don't bother bringing up Griffin, Jordan, Westbrook, I've already got counterparts for those guys. Btw it's a GREAT thing you like Kobe, diversity is everything. When people have different favorite players, that's a good thing for the NBA in imo.

[@roydavidmerrell]

[@NBASFAN]

If there is one thing that can shut up the Lebron lovers is... Lebron's shooting form looks like a high-school freshman center that's shooting a basketball. Especially the ones that just started playing. It looks like dirt that's what I'm trying to say. Plus, MJ and Kobe changed the game of basketball by becoming the icon of NBA. Lebron hasn't reach that level, yet. In my opinion, Lebron isn't even half as influential as Allen Iverson who revolutionize they way people look at NBA basketball.

[@lockerzwiz1]

Agreed!!

[@antoniobasic5497]

ok,his shooting form isnt as beautiful as kobes or mjs,so what?he shoots 3s 40% this season

[@mattnussbaum1971]

Who gives a crap about how it looks? It should be based on if it gets the job done, and it does. And don't bring in being influential when we're talking about skill at BASKETBALL, not how much you can change people looking at it.

[@NBASFAN]

It should be noted that most kids like cool things. And if it looks cool they do it. Nobody likes to have their shooting form to be called ugly in this new generation. People like to say MJ and Kobe when they shoot for a reason. Anyways, I do like Lebrons dunks they look powerful.

[@albertjones1476]

[@nnaidirem]

How is Kobe a better shooter than Jordan or LeBron when he is the only one out of the 3 players that has never shot over 50% in the regular season and is currently #1 in the history of the NBA for missed shots?

[@TheULMOnaut]

Kobe shoots around 30% FG in game-winning situations for his career regular season or playoffs, Jordan shot 58% in the regular season and 50% in the playoffs for his career. Kobe is as unclutch as everybody else in the league today.

[@TheULMOnaut]

dmana3172 There is nothing wrong with Kobe Bryant, he is a legend, but at his age an injury as he had can mean the end of the good times. But aside from the injury problems, in years past Kobe has virtually stopped playing both ends of the court. His defensive aggressiveness only came in spurts, which is not enough, when you're a team leader. I think, even before the achilles injury, Kobe had slown down a bit stamina wise and therefore he concentrated more on his offense.

[@Bidwellz9]

jordans numbers and fg% even 3pt % is higher. would you like to edit your comment now?

[@ArashsWorld]

MJ and LBJ cannot be compared. They played in different eras plus they're two different players. LBJ= Size/Strength over Skill. MJ= Skill over Size

[@Bidwellz9]

they can be compared, who left their losing team to go to a sure thing instead of working for it? who would you choose to take the last shot down 2 with 1.2 seconds left? would lebron play even though he has a fever and riddled with the flu? all these things can be compared and to me i dont care if lebron scores the most points ever, hell never be jordan or kobe

May I remind you that Michael Jordan left not just his team, but the entire NBA and went to play baseball. What is the goal of every NBA player? TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP. LeBron knew that he wasn't going to get another chance with the Cavs and left because he wanted a championship, its not like he did it to be a dick.

[@blogginsriverbymnl48isabop86]

Kobe and Lebron have played basically their entire career under lax defensive rules that intentionally favor perimeter players. No handchecking and the middle opens up every 3 seconds equals inflated stats. Jordan did it in the toughest defensive era in NBA history. #1 all time in PER, #1 all time in PPG (regular season AND playoffs), #1 all time in blocks for a guard, #2 all time in steals, #3 all time in rebounds for a guard, multiple steals titles, only player to have won the scoring title and DPOY in the same year, 6 championships in 8 years, 2 3peats, 6 Final MVPs, 5 reg. season MVPs, at one point posted 10 triple doubles in 11 games, etc. His Bulls had beat the most number of 60 win teams on their way to the titles. Jordan had to work much harder to earn his championships. I have seen him literally get punched in the air then punched again on the ground. In comparison, Lebron and Kobe had/have it easy.

Im choosing all 3 because we all witnessed greatness from these 3 (I grew up watching Jordan. I don't know about you guys were old enough to watch Jordan)

[@MrBoisestatebroncos]

I think MJ and Lebron are the two best players of all time. They are equally skilled in different areas. Kobe is 2nd because he was just like MJ play wise just not quite as good. Out of all three of them neither is a lot better than the other, they are all relatively close in skill level which is why this video exist. So please if you are going to make an argument over whos better than who at least give all 3 their respect.

[@kobejiang5049]

Point wise is Kobe because he scored the 3rd or something like that of most points in the nba, A great teammate and shooter is Lebron no contest and Micheal is both so Micheal= Kobe+ Lebron

[@Tippotipo]

[@kingike25319]

everyone wants to say "Lebron James went 1 on 5 in the 2014 Finals. As a "True Heat Fan" I think this is extremely hypocritical. Look my favorite player is Dwyane wade since 05 and I have been through the highs and lows of the heat franchise, BUT what about the 2011 Finals??? I saw Dwyane wade put his heart out in that series on both sides of the floor and guess what? Lebron came up short in SUPPORTING D Wade. especially that 8 point game. I mean 8 points? if LeBron scored 5 more we would have been up 3-1 with the momentum and possibly we would already have a Three Peat! P.S. oh and by the way It's Lebron Fault that he basically plays 1 on 5. Lebron's Game is based of him dominating the ball all the time. It's basically "his Offense." everyone has to feed off of his passes his momentum and his game. that's why it looks like he is playing in Cleveland. the Players feed off of Lebron waiting for him to either score or pass to initiate the offense, they can't get into their own rhythm at all. but like I say it's not like he is playing point guard and initiating the offense. he is the offense. When you look at Jordan he was a great player off ball. I mean he ran the Triangle to perfection ( watch the 1991 Finals when he out performed Magic when he averaged 31pts and 11ast).the triangle offense is basically Screen, Post, Cut, and Pass. but guess what? the difference from the "Lebron offense" and the "Triangle" EVERYONE was apart of it. you thing ron artest is better then D wade when he called his own number a few times in the nba finals in 2010 or trevor ariza in 09. no their offense supports freedom. Lebron James dominates the ball. The triangle is a constant movement like what the spurs did this years finals. so maybe Lebron needs to tweak his game to for everyone instead everyone tweak theirs for him. P.S.S. "BALL HOG is a derisive term for a basketball player that HANDLES the ball exclusively to the point of impairing the TEAM." just because LeBron pass doesn't mean he isn't impairing the team like I don't know? dribbling down the Shot Clock a few times? so lets not be hypocrites on this one on five bull shit.

And he has flourished in all of those Roles, and has been the best he can be. Shows u that hard work pays off. And he never complained Publicly about his role on the team. Yall can disrespect and belittle these greats all you want but i have Nothing but respect for all three players. As all of them has inspired me to chase after my dreams...

why play for a team who's next best player is going to sit out the next 55-60 games next year due to injuries. and the 3 next best player is too inconsistent and a shell of his former self

[@achozenfew]

Lebron is a beast and is making a name for himself, but it is virtually impossible for him to accomplish what Jordan did so that comparison is in the garbage! Lebron had Jordan's numbered jersey and tried to play like M.J but found out his game wasn't finesse so he then went to #24. Koby's career is over and he is just a carbon copy of M.J, so that comparison is stupidity!!

[@lenny3717]

LeBron changed his number to 6 ok

[@lenny3717]

***** well said, I totally agree, LeBron is overrated and is like most persons that watch NBA today that never saw MJ or Kobe in their prime compare James to these two icons and he is not even close to any of them by any means

[@adamandrikos4093]

Man... It's video's like this that help us remember. So, thanks for that. Jordan played in time where he was targeted.. from the Pistons to the Knicks, who physically "beat up" people on the court. I remember watching these games, and how far we've come in the NBA to truly make it a finesse game in 2014. That being said, Jordan was an offensive and physical specimen. I am tired of hearing how much "faster" Lebron is?? Or how Kobe is in the conversation with Mike... not true. Kobe wasn't the best player on his team for more than half of his titles... and Lebron hasn't taken the lumps, or was even bullied, beat up etc like Mike. Remember, when Jordan competed against Kobe he was 34-35 years old.. and he still averaged close to 30 a night in those years. What truly makes Jordan special is without "advanced stats" or knowledge of what his game could produce (remember, back then big men where the coveted players, and people thought that tops scorers weren't winners), Jordan was the BEST scorer as well as defender, and the triangle was built around how great his inclusion with teammates could be... and it was. If you couldn't touch Mike (hand check) in todays game?? No doubt, 40 a night... if Jordan played all those "retired years"... he'd be at 40k points.. and no one would ever touch him. Both Kobe and Lebron are great... but both players weren't the best player on the court during their combined 14 finals appearances 50 percent of the time. Jordan was, and he would've been even more so in today's game. Remember, PER stats go down as you get older... and Mike is still leading the pack (over Lebron), Kobe isnt close... and Mike retired when he was 40. He probably benefited from the new rules to score 22 and 20 a night at 39 and 40 years old. Don't forget about the past, Mike was the best, in the best time (or dirtiest) defensively... sorry Wilt, I saw the footage. Thanks for the video.. but to compare is foolish. Their may never be another volume shooter that was so efficient, so strong, fast, and dynamic as Mr. Jordan.

[@maizenation9229]

8:55 what do u mean championship wise kobe. Kobe never got 2 championship rings or 4 MVPs at age 28. Kobe played with the 2 best of all time and never learned from them

[@dennisjr77]

Kobe didn't have wade, bosh, and company either. it took Kobe, AS WELL AS JORDAN a few years! Jordan didn't start winning until he got scottie!! If Lebron was still in Cleveland, we wouldn't even be having this discussion. There's so many "what-ifs" what if portland didn't pass on Jordan, what if Kobe ended up in Charolette. what if, Cleveland brought over ONE SUPERSTAR to help lebron, "what if"

[@maizenation9229]

Dennis Leavitt he had a better team then the cavs. he had shaq, derrick fisher, horace grant, rick fox, etc.

[@edwige100]

the most stupid comment ive ever seen.

[@edwige100]

PAU AND bynum learned from kobe. and kobe feeds shaq all day. thats why shaq dominates more than kobe. did pau and shaq played toghether with kobe? what? your including bynum?lmao. did an all star bosh who improved a lot wspecially his shooting better than pau and one of the best sg in nba dwade and the best3pt shooter in nba allen then mike then battier played together with leflop? YES.

[@maizenation9229]

Magic Johnson read my comment right then reply. i'm talking about when lebron was with the cavs. and kobe wouldn't have won those championships if he played with new Orleans

[@edgarmorales8788]

there is just one thing that put leBron behind MJ nd kobe... LeBron flop toooo much....

[@presidential3228]

kobe flopped and so has mj so stfu

[@edgarmorales8788]

mj flopped?? you dont know what you talking about lil boy... go play with your toy and let the adults talk

[@AjtheMP5k]

edgar morales lmaoooo

[@arshankapanpour5104]

Say what you want about Kobe Bryant, nobody in NBA HISTORY gets as HOT as Kobe Bryant in his prime. "Kobe Fire" is really a different kind of fire. We will never see someone as offensively gifted (not to say kobe wasn't an elite defender for 12 straight years) and with the most offensively evolved game for the next 100 years. Pure fundamental and skill meets STEEZ. Respect the legend...NBA will NOT be the same when he is gone. Enjoy it while it last

[@lrdmcd914]

I respect All Three of them but it's different Careers! In their Prime Kobe Had the hardest road, then LeBron. Mj in his Prime had Talent(90's) around him. LeBron plays in the East, the 8th seeds in the West are like the 5th seed in the East. Year in, Year out. In the 90's Zone Defense was illegal, Man-to-man! If you go to far from your man they will call illegal Defense which results in a Free throw! Jordan didn't had Real competition in the East! The Knicks & the Pacers aren't as good as the Spurs & '08 Celtics! People like to Say MJ cost Barkley & Patrick Ewing don't get a Ring. Miss me with that Bullshit! If they wanted it so bad, why not Join up!? Barkley had no help. Mj had Pippen & Rodman, Kukoc, Kerr, Longley.

[@Gerspark3006]

How did Kobe have the hardest road, he had Shaq for his first 8 Years.

[@lrdmcd914]

Gerspark3006​ Yes eight years Bro. Kobe came in the League in 96 from High school. Bench For two years & Split Time in his third year(Starting-Off&On). Became a Full-time starter in 2000 at the age of 22 which is when they WON. Shaq Left after 04, Ten years ago. Only LeBron had as hard of a road, but when you play in the East Nothings Hard! Mj & LBJ hard times was before the Championships. Kobe's was After Shaq Left. Mj came in '85 at 23, Pippen came in his 3rd year('88).

[@fakiemoney1754]

Andre Moxey Actually lebron had the hardest road, Mj and Kobe always had a playoff team but Lebron didnt get his untill 7 years into his career. Kobe bryant Finally got a shit team at the age of 32-33 and MJ i dont think he even had a shit team.... maybe when he was on the magic but thats really it.

[@lrdmcd914]

Fakie Money when you play in the East Nothings Hard! Lol. 05-08 Kobe Had Shitty Teammates.

[@fakiemoney1754]

Andre Moxey Funny how you say when you play in the east nonthing is hard but in order to win the finals you have to beat the best of the west which makes that irrelevant. Lebron had a shitty 03-011 almost 10 years with a shitty team and still got more MvPs than Kobe...... Cmon Cuh

[@hiphopsocnroc]

6>5>2

[@raulrolon7]

11>7>6 Russell and Horry are better than MJ then. And steve kerr is Kobe's equal too. According to your ridiculously moronic logic.

[@hiphopsocnroc]

raul Rolon What's the title of the video dumb ass?

[@raulrolon7]

So just because the video only mentions Jordan LeBron and Kobe makes what Russell did irrelevant?

[@akafebreze]

Go and comment that in a Bill Russel video or Horry

[@amx23player1]

Championships matter, so does Finals MVP, Jordan is the sole reason his team three peated twice and wouldve probably won 8 in a row making him defining in all sports. know your history Jordan has 6 finals MVP no losses and averaged 35.5 ppg.

[@hartsickdisciple]

There is no question. When it comes to winning and mental fortitude, Jordan > Kobe> Lebron. Jordan is the GOAT. Look at his stats, clutch performances, and skill set. He dominated during the golden age of the NBA.
