[@stonechen2480]

I think it's more of a team thing, especially during the second 3-peat. The three main scorers, MJ, Pippen and Kukoc, all have this ballet-like quality in their movements, and Rodman is even more an entertainer, diving off court to catch the ball, nagging on an opponent, or threwing a long pass, hyping up the crowd. Most games I watched, the Bulls often warmed up slow, let the other team have the first few shots, catching up by end of 1st quarter, only pulled ahead in 3rd or 4th quarter.

[@jackastor5265]

Its not really fair to compare other players to MJ, not even Lebron. He was that dominant. I'm not going to post all the reasons why because it would be too long. I know young NBA fans have a hard time imagining that a guy could be better than Lebron James but Jordan was, and not just by a narrow margin, MJ is the reigning king of the court, an almost perfect 2-way player that was both offensively and defensively devastating. This is also what pisses me off about guys like Nick Wright, Shannon, Perk, these guys in modern sports media that know the truth but refuse to tell it.

Its not fun to watch when it feels unfair and when dramatic crybaby behavior is repeatedely rewarded. I mean, last season, didnt the lakers have over 400 more free-throw attempts granted than the next team? And forget it if you are a bulls fan now (or any of the other teams who actually have dignity and didnt go to Juliard to major in Advanced Dramatics). Its sad...the honest players, you can see them getting discouaged and disheartened after getting repeatedly hosed by the refs -- sometimes even losing games over the utterly ridiculous flop&reward system. If i didnt love bball so much i would have stopped watching too. I understand why more casual viewers are not watching anymore.

Longevity should be in there when comparing players from the same era. Saying LeBron played 18 seasons and Jordan only played 13 and claim that makes LeBron more durable when MJ played in the 80s and 90s, where the opponent could basically assult you and beat you up and probably wouldn't even get fouled for it, is like saying a Prius is more durable than a Hummer when the Hummer went to Afghanistan and the Prius to the San Francisco suburbs. Just cuz the Hummer only lasted 5 years before it was blown to smithereens doesn't mean the Prius was more durable cuz it lasted for 30 years. It's a completely different environment and I would bet money that LeBron would've retired years ago if it was the same rules as in the 80s and he had played 10+ years VS teams like the Bad Boy Pistons. Physically he might have been able to, the man is a friggin beast... But he does *not* have the mental toughness or killer instinct required to survive the golden era. Sitting out the rest of the game cuz someone grazed his elbow? What a joke. Tell that to MJ or Larry Bird or Isiah Thomas and watch them bust a rib laughing.

[@loopyprawn]

I think Lebron was pushed by the media into the spotlight way too quickly and expected to be someone he just isn’t. He is a phenomenal freak of nature and definitely a great player but he doesn’t come close to Jordan. Even on the longevity, that is comparing apples to oranges. Also, I respect Jordan’s mid-career retirement. He pushed himself past the max and had to take time off for self care. That’s fantastic. Lebron, however, played like he didn’t want to be there sometimes. Jordan was never be accused of flopping or slacking off at any point (flu game?)

[@Tcheera]

Well there's also the part people leave out (aside from retirements) that MJ also left nearly 2 years due to his dad's murder (many people even those who should know better act like he just left for no reason, but dealing with your close CLOSE family member -- nah that's just too rough for many). So - 2 years on longevity? Nah - 2 years on grief and then coming back. Also starting age 21-22 vs age 17 is a HUGE DIFFERENCE as well. Dude that also gives extra 4-5 years at the outset. If Jordan got to join the league and be "as bad as he was in college" and build up rather than coming in when he was as they say in his olympics video "already the best player in the league before he stepped on the court" Jordan could've easily played another 6-7 years right there. Add in taking out the Krause BS, he could've stayed in the bulls 99-00 and bam you got a solid career age 17-40, 23 years. Even if you give him his retirements and count how he was playing ball for so much he was playing so many more years at a high level (champion NBA, olympics, etc) He is still easily tied for longevity getting beaten seriously an injured. Also -- wonder if they counted up minutes played given that MJ played 82 games all the time and more minutes /game. I bet if they did that and added college his "longevity" would suddenly surpass Lebron real fast.

Did you know that Michael Jordan is the only player in NBA history to win the NBA's scoring title, regular-season MVP, the NBA championship, Finals MVP, and make an NBA All-Defensive team in the same season? On top of that, he was able to achieve this in 4 different seasons; 1990-91, 1991-92, 1995-96, and 1997-98. He would have achieved it 6 times, but the NBA awarded the MVP to Charles Barkley in 1993, and to Karl Malone in 1997. If Jordan had won MVP in those years, he would have had 6 seasons where he accomplished each of these milestones. I’d rather be like MJ than LBJ!

And before you get mad about the defense. Man defense is not even close to being the most impactful aspect of defense. Rim protection, off ball defense, and versatility > any other defensive aspect -In which Lebron DESTROYS Mj in those 3 defensive categories, making it useless to make this a debate. 3-peating against weaker competition all around does not make someone a better INDIVIDUAL player than another. -Especially when those teams get worse once the playoffs started (other than the Sonics) The best defenders MJ faced in the playoffs were GP, Mchale, Parish, Cooper, Ewing, Dumars, Laimbeer, Majerle, and Malone. KG and Tim Duncan DESTROY all of those defenders. In addition to Joakim Noah, Ben Wallace, Bowen, Green, Danny Green, Kawhi, Butler, Klay, and Igoudala.

Lebron can’t even comprehend playing basketball at MJs level.Thats crystal clear with a simple eye test,an eye test that only requires a glance.But beyond that,the numbers match what your eyes tell u in every way...Now,don’t take it from me, just look at the data yourself.Lebron fans love stats right??So,spend a tad over 32 minutes of your life making sure u never do this too yourself again.Watch the entire video of u want to know the truth....if u DON’T want to know the truth,then definitely DO NOT watch. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/qp2WnoVsmtR4l5o

That link I put for that video covers more of the offensive side of the ball and more team type stats. U insinuated that MJ is only a man to man type defensive player and that Lebron “destroys” MJ in other defensive categories...That’s why I said u have no concept of reality. So,MJ lead the league in steals 3 times (an all-time record),lebron never has...MJ is 3rd all time over all in steals in a 13+ year career.Lebron is 10th overall in 19 seasons.MJ leads all guards both pg & sg in nba history with the most blocks all-time.Mj is number 1 all-time in defensive win shares per/48 min in both regular season and postseason...Lebron is 7th.

[@dc4690]

Then u said the best defenders MJ ever faced was... And then u proceeded to name only ONE guard and the rest were big men??So only one name u mentioned actually would’ve guarded MJ 🤦🏾‍♂️ (Again,lacking in reality)...Then,to double down on your ignorance u mentioned how KG and Tim Duncan did against players that again,never guarded MJ 🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️...Just wow... So,how about some actual reality,reality and truth about Lebron.No opinions,no regurgitation of espn or fox liars & stans,just good old fashion facts... Lebron has needed a once in a lifetime,once in a career,all stars aligning 3-point shot...He needed a never happened before in the history of the nba/once in 75 years of nba basketball ‘happening’ where a team up 3-1 in the finals doesn’t win,a literal all-time choke...Then a weird covid-19 shortened no fan bubble season where an 8 seed makes the finals...U know how many time an 8 seed has made the finals in 75 years of nba bbal...Twice...guess what those two instances have in common,they both happened in weird shortened/half seasons.The most recent because of covid,the first time was because of a strike. He has needed never happened before in the history of the nba type chokes,an all stars aligning basket with a pandemic influenced shortened season fluke.And those are his ‘wins’!!...

You two youngsters are becoming the GOATs of these type of reactions. It's a long damn video so I was a little reluctant to watch but I'm glad I did.

I've been fortunate to have watched both MJ and Bron in person, while in their primes, and I agree with the younger looking brother (gray shirt) it wasn't even close. Bron is phenomenal but he's human. Jordan was like a damn jaguar. His instincts were animalistic and his reflexes were big cat-like. One factor this video didn't talk about was the mental. And we all know mentally the Black Cat was as deadly as Alec Baldwin with a prop gat. Let's forget about the rings, stats, accolades, etc. for one moment. Let's speak on the artistry. Jordan's aerial acrobatics were mesmerizing. Even though I hated the Bulls growing up I never missed a televised game because of Black Jesus.

[@stevensullivan5945]

I have a few intangible points to add in MJ’s favour: In the playoffs or the 4th quarter of games in the 90s, everyone expected the Bulls to win the game. It was a surprise if they didn’t. I have never had that feeling about LeBron. His close games are always up in the air and he loses more often than he wins when it matters. Also, at the start of playoffs over the last ten years, there are many teams that could win a championship. In the 90s, the conversation was always about whether anyone could beat Chicago or not. Most people expected Chicago to win and we took it for granted until it ended in ‘98. Also, from around ‘89 (maybe even ‘87) to ‘98, Jordan was undoubtedly the best player in the league. During LeBron’s best years, there have always been debates over who is better: “Kobe or LeBron?”, “Durant or LeBron?” “Curry or LeBron?”, “Giannis or LeBron?” This NEVER happened with Jordan. How can you consider LeBron the GOAT when fans don’t even agree that he’s the best player in the league at any one time? I fully agree with the analysis of Jordan’s Bulls being the juggernaut. MJ was just like Tiger Woods is his peak. There were great golfers on tour, but they didn’t win very often when Tiger was at peak, so we don’t remember them. Many amazing NBA teams from the 90s have been overlooked because the Bulls were too good. LeBron isn’t a crazy competitor like MJ, Bird or Magic. If the aliens come down and we have to ball out to save humanity, I want Magic, MJ, Bird, Kareem and Wilt. LeBron’s not on the court. I don’t want us to go extinct because LeBron decides to let ET drive the lane and lay it in uncontested. LeBron is a great talent, but he’s not a winner.

The perimeter defense is way stronger today and we had seen Kobe & Kevin Durant to judge how Jordan will play in this era. They both need serious help to win a championship because their skillset is being nullify by other ways of scoring and strong perimeter defense. Today its much more demanding to be all-rounder, 1 to 5 players must do every aspect well. Having said that, today the champion usually plays very high percentage in the paint scoring and rebounding combined with 3pt shooting.

Additionally as the video says MJ was consistently putting in the effort. There are literally years were it was clear Lebron decided he wasn't going to put in the effort on defense. Even his most hardcore fans can't deny it. I can't get behind that. Legit how can Lebron be upset when his team loses a game by a point or two when he was standing on the other side of the court watching his team play 4 v 5 on defense? The bulls may have lost the game but how many times did anyone ever question MJs effort to win it? Also as for the clutch point I can already hear the tried and true Lebron excuse. "Well he's made more than Jordan!" And they hope no body thinks any harder past that statement. What they ignore is 1) Lebron, having played a lot more games than MJ, has had more opportunities to try and make those shots and 2) it's not how many you make but how likely you are to make them. Question? Who is the more clutch player between the two? Player A who made 25 game winning or tying shots out of 50 or player B who made 28 out of 90? Player A is the more clutch player because statistically he has a higher percentage of making it.

There's nothing that drive teammates more crazy than someone forcing bad shots when they're already taking 25 field-goal attempts per game.

Kudos to your brother for accepting the huge argument for Jordan. Some people will stubbornly keep with their beliefs regardless of the strength of the evidence against them. From people who watched Jordan and Lebraon, you're right, there is no question who the GOAT is. And this is from a fan who HATED Jordan when he played. But fans of all of Jordan's contemporaries will accept the fact that Jordan was better than their favorite player, because it was that inescapable. I myself am a Larry Bird fan. Bird may have been able to be mentioned in the same breath as MJ, but his injuries left him with way fewer seasons at his peak unfortunately. One thing that was missed in the video, though it did mention that Jordan's legacy included blasting the NBA into the stratosphere of popularity worldwide. It is that Lebron James the last couple of years, through the injection of divisive racial politics and kowtowing to China has lost a lot of people's respect, and it is no small part because of that attitude that the NBA has seen some of its lowest ratings.

[@johnnewsham5193]

True. In Jordans second season he comes back after a season ending injury when Chicago's upper management wanted to tank for a better deal pick. They get into the playoffs with one of the worst records in NBA playoff history to meet your Last Bird and arguably the greatest ever team until that point. Jordan plays two of the greatest ever playoff games with basically zero help and almost wins two games against that team a fifty plus game and a record 63 points. The interviews with Prime Bird after those games are just disbelief at how much better Jordan is than everybody. "God disguised as Michael Jordan." The main reason Bird and Magic are not considered GOAT candidates is they were clearly not Jordan. I feel sorry for them, especially Bird because he had a case for GOAT until That series. Now as we look back, people use that series as a reason Jordan cannot be GOAT. ????? What the???? Getting swept by Bird's Celtics is one of Jordans strongest arguments for GOAT. He was other worldly in those games.

I was with you up until the racially divisive comment. If we were to use the President of the United States as the barometer. LeBron James is way less racially divisive than the previous president of the United States was. We live in a racially divided country, shedding light on that isn’t a bad thing. Unless of course, you are one of those people who want to sweep that sort of thing under the rug because it doesn’t benefit you and people who look in think like you.

[@guittadabe5214]

@@kvocal There's a way to bring up inequity that is constructive. My opinion is that all Lebron did was throw gasoline on the racial divide, and at the same time, in the most cowardly way possible, not only didn't criticize China's horrible ethnic cleansing policies, but tried to shut down the speech of everyone else who spoke up. While we could agree to disagree on Lebron's effect on the domestic racial divide, I don't know many people who are disappointed in Lebron's kowtowing to China. It was so open and disgusting that all people had to have to be bothered by it is a conscience. Because all of the NBA's leadership did the same thing, it caused a lot of decent people to abandon watching the NBA.

[@redtesta]

I think the people discussing the GOAT especially in this generation , when it comes to Lebron, need to forget about it . What they need to look at is WHO is #2 . The top spot is taken and probably never will be replaced .....EVER.... Kobe, Bird and a few others need to be brought into the conversation of #2. Jordan didnt need pippen, that is all he had until rodman came in and he still won a 3 peat without rodman. Great video as always

Charles Barkley once said that if Jordan played in LeBron Era, he would have scored averaged 60 per game. Also, if that was the case, how would LeBrons longevity have been after being beaten up on a nightly basis?

[@DTraiN5795]

Bro said throw the dust better 🤣 I felt that

[@rdjcisneros6708]

*JORDAN DOMINATED EVERY PLAYER BEFORE HE WON THE FIRST TITLE AND THEN AFTER TASTING THE CHAMPIONSHIP, NO ONE COULD WIN WITH HIM IN THE LEAGUE, LEBRON JAMES HAS NOT DOMINATED THIS LEAGUE BECAUSE STEPH, TIM DUNCAN AND DIRK NOWITZKI HAVE TAKEN 6 TITLES FROM LEBRON, MICHAEL JORDAN THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME*

[@dremckinney7877]

Good point on longevity..... to add to that back in the 80s and 90s it was waaaay more physical and prone to getting hurt compared to now far less physical.

[@arieljaquez5444]

I personally think, the big difference was the different era that Jordan played in compared to LeBron. The pistons actually dedicated a season to take out Jordan. Each games focus was to hurt jordan. That era was tough to play in. Players today couldn't hang in all that. Period.

[@dunsonhouse]

Appreciate the comment ✊🏽

[@ibrahimahm3d]

No players today would have the same mentality as that era because the way they are raised and the trash talk if a modern player comes into the era of mj or magic and bird they would have the mindset because that’s the way they had to play in that era

[@UPRISING144K]

I would like to see that same comparison, but jordan vs kobe and maybe vs wilt and kareem

[@meeu]

rooting for the Jazz during their prime facing the bulls. Jordan and co were like an immovable brick wall. those were heartbreaking years.

[@remus2419]

The utah vs bulls championship was iconic. For me it is definitely one of the best Championship series. Watching the game is like a roller coaster. Both teams beat the hell out of each other. Bulls may have won both series but i can say that it wasnt a walk in the park. 💯

Remember Jordan played in college Plus he played a year in baseball too and came back and won 3 more titles 👍

I'm not a MJ fan or LBJ fan but you gotta give it to MJ. You may not want to but you have to.

[@michaelallan7981]

LBJ is NOT EVEN comparable to Wilt, Kareem and Russell. Look up their stats and achievements. LeBron is just a self-proclaimed king and nothing more.

[@stevenaleman7454]

Longevity shouldn't be considered as a telling stat when determining who the greatest in their sport is, ...if that was the case, someone might say that Cal Ripken (Baltimore Orioles) was the greatest baseball player over someone like Barry Bonds because Cal played in the most consecutive games (2,632)....being a stats leader because you played longer doesn't make you a better all around player than someone who had better skills/abilities/talent/etc. who played in less seasons....just a thought/opinion...

[@dunsonhouse]

[@daddyboomer]

I appreciate where you are coming from, but there are several points you are missing. When the video creator says "longevity" he is talking about longevity at the highest level, recognized as a top player in the league during that period of time. More importantly, it's one stat of 5, it's the same as looking as various game stats, you have to look at all angles, which is why it is commendable.

[@ducamorisable]

I understand your point. But by your logic someone like Tracy would be better than someone like Bryant. Or how about the MVP debate last year? Like they say: "the best ability is availability". You may be a great player, that's an incredible asset to your team. But if you're constantly getting hurt and missing games (especially in the crucial moments) then how much contribution are you actually giving? So for me a big part of longevity is availability - Which is something that Jordan definitely had at an elite level. Another part of longevity (for me) is how long a player is actually paying (especially at an elite level). Again, guys like Tracy and Rose were elite for a short while, but they quickly fell short because of injuries. And lastly, although I value Jordan's 30.1 pts average over his WHOLE career more than Kareem's 38k points. It's still an accomplishment that shows how dominant Kareem was. You don't get to 38k without being an elite scorer for multiple years - and he did average almost 25 pts for his whole career. I mean was Stockton a better passer than Magic, just because he had almost 16k assists compared to Magic's 10k? Probably not. But at the same time you cannot say that Stockton wasn't an elite passer just by numbers alone. In conclusion, I personally don't value longevity more than some of the other things that were listed in the video. But I still do value it, and I think it should be considered when talking about a players career.

[@stevenaleman7454]

@@ducamorisable I see your point... Makes sense to me in the context you described... Thanks for the insight. ✌️

[@cheeseburger12]

Longevity absolutely matters. It isn't the only thing, but it should matter. Sure your comparison of Cal vs Barry is skewed, but that's only if you ONLY measure longevity. But to use another example, Roger Maris broke Babe Ruth's record, but no one thinks Maris is one of the best ever because he only had that one truly dominant season. Whereas Hank Aaron breaking Ruth's season record is more impressive and I would rank Hank Aaron ahead of Roger Maris. (Babe Ruth was also a pitcher so that adds a different level of comparison).

The truth got you a subscriber. Keep telling the truth. And my favorite player that got me to watch was Dr.J.

[@williamquinn3196]

Saw Dr. J when I was a teenager when he was on the Va Squires. Charlie Scott and George Gervin were also on that team. He didn't hit a jump shot the whole game. Scored 42 pts! All I could say is "WOW!"

[@russelturner5771]

The Doc was also my favorite player, he's someone that MJ idolized & emulated to a degree.
