[@feroce82]

Anne HBurn When the Pistons and the Celtics faded, MJ didn't have real competition there. Indiana and NY tried to do something, but none of them has a player like MJ nor Pippen. The East was that strong the Bulls were able to reach the ECF without MJ. If the East is weak and reaching the Finals from there is easier, why most players want to go West instead?

[@youknodavibes2903]

lawreneph .....................you talking about the hakeem that averaged only 7 points and 5 rebounds all year? Oh ok. This raptirs team is way better than the 2001 team from top to bottom. The best team in 2001 eastern conf was allen iverson

[@TheCamn13sls]

The East was the powerhouse conference when Jordan played. The West has been the powerhouse conference for all of Lebron's career. So stop with the playoff records in th early rounds. Where it matters is in the finals! Jordan is G.O.A.T.

[@ivanfranceschi9139]

A A Ron Ummmm, no. When Jordan played, the East was WAY better than it is today, but it wasn't better than the West. Here's a history lesson for ya: Magic (Lakers), Robinson (Spurs), Drexler (Blazers), Barkley (Suns), Olajuwon (Rockets), Stockton and Malone (Jazz), Payton and Kemp (Sonics). The East was GREAT, but it wasn't the bloodbath of the West.

[@TheCamn13sls]

Ivan Franceschi 1984 Boston Celtics, 1986 Boston Celtics, 1989 Detroit Pistons, 1990 Detroit Pistons, 1991, 92, 93 Chicago Bulls, 1996, 97, 98 Chicago Bulls. Only the Lakers won championships from the West, while Jordan dominated in the League. Calling out allstars on teams don't make a team or conference, for that matter, good. Sorry you're argument is no good.

[@ivanfranceschi9139]

Oh, Aaron, little Aaron... First of all, I am referring to the 90s, not the 80s. When you say "powerhouse conference," that involves the conference AS A WHOLE, not just the one team that won the championship. Truth be told, the West had MANY teams that could win the NBA Championship if Jordan would have gone down due to injury. In fact, when Michael went to go find himself in minor league baseball, which conference won the NBA title?!? The Bulls DIDN"T EVEN MAKE IT TO THE NBA Finals when Jordan wasn't there! Every year in the 90s, with the exception of the Rockets (who dominated when Jordan wasn't playing) and the Jazz, the West was represented by a new team - in 1991 it was Magic's Lakers, in 1992 it was Clyde's Blazers, in 1993 it was Barkley's Suns, in 1996 it was Payton and Kemp's Sonics, and in 1997-1998, it was Malone and Stockton's Jazz. Quite honestly, the only teams in the East that could have won the championship outside of the Bulls were the Knicks, the Pacers, and the Magic. In the West, you had Rockets, the Jazz, the Spurs, the Sonics, the Suns, the Blazers, and the Lakers (in MJ's time as champion). Therefore, the Western Conference was a much stronger CONFERENCE than the Eastern Conference, although not as bad as it has been since the 2000s. YOUR (not "you're") argument has just been shot down, and YOUR spelling is not compelling...

[@TheCamn13sls]

Ivan Franceschi Grammer error and alllll. My point still stands. THE EAST TODAY IS A CUPCAKE WALK AND ONLY THE WEST IS COMPETITIVE IN LEBRON'S WHOLE CAREER. Therefore your argument is still weak, like Lebron's hand.

[@ivanfranceschi9139]

A A Ron That wasn't your argument. Your argument was the Eastern Conference was the dominant conference of Jordan's time, which is false - as far as the 1990s go. I agree that the East is trash. It's getting better, but it's been trash since the 2000s. The only teams that have won a title from the East since 1998 (20 years) are the Pistons, the Heat, the Celtics and the Cavs. The Spurs and Lakers pretty much DOMINATED the league until the Warriors came together. Make no mistake, I am not a Lebron fan. Truth be told, I don't like him or his ego. However, there has NEVER been a bigger ego in the NBA than your boy Michael Jordan. He makes Kobe look like Steve Nash.

[@jayp8124]

[@mw2interventionjerk]

I know people still like to bring up how LeBron and yes most only say LeBron and not the Cavs, overcame a 3-1 deficit to win the championship but people forget how Draymond got suspended in a crucial game for the Warriors. It was crucial because they just won the game before and in Cleveland so now they were going back home with that momentum so I'm pretty sure they were going to close it out right in that game 5. But Draymond got suspended, Bogut got hurt and Harrison Barnes was non existent. So people say Warriors beat an injured Cavs back in 2015 (yet the Cavs still had the best player in the game healthy) but don't want to say close to the same thing about the Cavs beating the Warriors in 2016.

James as a player has been able to make more of an imapact than KD, KD is one of the greatest players on the planet period , but ask yourselfs he getting all this talk about him ever since he joined the warriors, a team that didn’t need him to be great . He couldn’t do that in OKC , and it’s speaks out , I ain’t saying KD isnt great but if people are trying to debate he’s a better player than Lebron then your kidding yourself.

Uh refs blew that 3-1 lead

[@ivanfranceschi9139]

I'm no Lebron fan, but KD wouldn't even be in the Finals if he hadn't joined the Warriors (you know, the team he couldn't beat while in OKC). KD would be experiencing what Lebron is experiencing - losing to the Warriors every time he played them.

[@StriderHiryu120]

umm 2 years ago KD was not part of game 7 when cavs won it.

[@kasimk4]

StriderHiryu120 draymond Green suspension and Bogut injury, and that's some of it.

[@StriderHiryu120]

but kevin Durant wasn't there with the warriors on game 7 defeat. he was still with the thunder.

[@quintondorsey7362]

StriderHiryu120 and the cavs had kyrie

[@SealAngel]

Everyone in the background has seen that clip of Stephen A calling Scottie's comments blasphemous lol

[@Cj-hj6rm]

@ 3:12 didn't anybody here SAS said Seattle Seahawks 😂

[@Macinhd777]

Lebron is worse than Bird

[@BeingWokeTV]

Lebron blew a 2-0 lead in 2011 while having the biggest meltdown by any superstar. Averaging 2 points in the 4th Q! Overrated.

[@lebronjames3275]

BeingWokeTV Lebron was never up 2-0 it was 1-1 know ur facts dumbass

[@truthserum9able]

Shut your dumb ass up dude.. Bird is no competition to LeBron

[@Star-ll2dh]

Bird accomplished just as much in less years

[@adam7mma]

Lol LeBron is the third greatest player of all time even if gets swept to 3-6

[@mr.villano7944]

The reason lebron overcame the warriors was because of injuries and the tiredness from chasing 73 wins.

[@kasimk4]

Villano VEVO multiple injuries, the suspension and rigged officiating.

[@mr.villano7944]

kasimk4 hahahahha agreed. Never underestimate lebron and the refs! Lol

[@randominternetuser9450]

Villano VEVO So when LeBron wins, it's rigged? But when he loses, it's because he's a choker or not good enough?

[@arjunsudhir007]

2:50 Stephen A. Said Seattle Seahawks 😂😂😂

[@prestigeworldwide7914]

The video starts and steven A’s already yelling.. This is gonna be a good one

[@faceoff3315]

SALTY SAS

[@tiredoffools8929]

SALTY CAVS FANS. Sucking too much D.

[@cognacyang9342]

SAS ain't shitt... lmao hes mad because lebron called him fake news... lmao

[@cognacyang9342]

Not a Cavs fan... only lebron...

[@shaybs1330]

Cavs in 7. It aint over yet. All they have to do is win the next 3 games to get game 7 where anything is possible.

[@danw1793]

Shay keep thinking that 😂😂😂

[@Kanendd]

Shay LOL. That's funny good one.😂👊

[@tiredoffools8929]

Shay..... ok.. keep believing that nonsense. The Warriors ain't the Pacers, Celtics or Toronto. Cavs can win Game 4, like Spurs to avoid SWEEP, but back at oracle it will be a WRAP! Gentleman's Sweep.

[@rod1424]

I want a sweep

[@eddiebowles7903]

Tired of Fools, you are a fool yourself. That is not a gentleman's sweep. A gentleman's sweep is giving them game one and then going 4-0 after (sweeping from there after down 0-1) to win in game 5. It is not simply winning in 5 games.

[@drewgraham1482]

I don't even know what they are arguing about sometimes haha

[@Mostradamus9]

This is the best sports show on tv

[@naturewisdom677]

Where is First Take? Did i miss something?

[@grahamherrold9703]

He said Seahawks instead of SuperSonics! 😂😂😂

[@Eltardotv]

2:51 seattle seahawks 😂

[@JPSimen]

Stephen A Smith. Retire.... The Seattle Seahawks with Gary Payton and Sean Kemp. Yes Stephen said Sean, not Shawn. Lmfao.

[@KartelBeatz]

Just dropped 51 on the Warriors and SA talkin bout you gotta look at the leveof competition. What?💀

[@brandeeno2846]

I love it

[@leroydirks5751]

Of course the Seattle Seahawks were not intimidated by Jordan... I know what you meant Stephen A. but that was great @2:50...lol

[@mrb7638]

2:51 stephen said seahawks lol

[@blitz0623]

Max just playing this Cleveland crowd lol

[@chrisroberts6477]

Poor Molly must be poppin them Tylenol’s on the daily 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@LPjunemark]

The crowd is quiet.

[@viskj]

0:49 Classic

[@civicsportinjectedfb613]

Gotta love the drama

[@HaHa-vy9ct]

Better scorer, defender, winner and leader. He made his teammates better, did not leave them.

[@luxankandiah7460]

Man said Seattle Seahawks lololll isn’t it super sonics

[@TieOnRadish]

That 73 win team shouldn't have been in the final in the first place. Draymond Green was supposed to get suspended after kicking Steven Adams in the groin for the second time of the series, but NBA wanted them to be in the finals so they didn't suspend. On the other hand, they suspended Draymond in the finals instead.

[@fatimaal-enizi6717]

So, are we just gonna ignore the fact that Stephen A. said "The Seattle Seahawks"?! Lmaoooooo

[@completecontroll7165]

The Seahawks in the 90s intimidated by Jordan? Um... maybe. Seahawks now? Nope. That was a funny slip.

[@soleh_uce1494]

Stephen A Smith it’s the Seattle SuperSonics not the Seahawks lol

[@SomeUnkindledAsh]

This is entertainment television people. Max takes the position opposite SAS for good television. Who knows what his actual opinion is? Props to him for being able to take either side in an argument and hold his own against SAS. Max is a super sharp dude

[@clutchcity25]

3:05 LMAO

[@Mentallect]

Cavs were down 3 to 1, but won series. So What? Jordan would never be down in the first place.

[@jahanzebbutt144]

LOL man said Seattle Seahawks 😂

[@sergiobruce2175]

Every team the warriors have faced this postseason has gotten at least 1 win against them, but your so called goat is about to get swept lmao
