Yeah to think we could of got a LeBron vs Jordan goat show down if MJ would of played just one more season which he very well could have because he was that great is crazy. Unfair because LeBron would of probably cooked him a bit but still just the thought.

Actually Lebron entered the league during one of the slowest paced, defensive eras thats early 2000s and his haters act like he has never faced defense :D Hand checking was even legal in his rookie season

[@clproductions7609]

literally the slowest and most defensive oriented era

[@JJFT235]

It shows how much Lebron has adapted throughout his incredible career. At first he came in with a jump shot that was a work in-progress. As the game started to evolve into a fast paced league that sees three pointers being essential to effective offense, Lebron has been able to maintain his scoring thanks to his years of improving his jump shot and shot selection on all facets of offense.

[@thomos8006]

You could do this with a lot of players who played 20+ years… but the fact that Lebron is arguably still top ten in the league and is relied upon by the lakers to win games is absurd.

@Dom2k16, I love your videos however, this one was a little hard to keep up with. I thought this was going to be about the first time he played a franchise with the players that was on the team at the time. Highlighting players and randomly change teams while showing said player with different teams to drive home your point came off as if it was about the players he played and not the team.

LeBron has played at least half of any perosn's top 15 all time no doubt. He's played kobe, shaq, curry, KD, duncan, kg, dirk, wade, giannis, jokic, kawhi, and it continues he really has played multiple father-son generations and will modt likely end up playing his own son and would ve the first ever NBA to do it i believe.

Goat James. People like to say Jordan played tougher competition. Not only has LeBron played way tougher competition, he played that tougher for a longer period of time. I'm MJ played in the era lebron played he would've played less time than he did in the 90s. Plus MJ was before his time anyway most guards and forwards in the nba were unathletic in the 90s and they couldn't double team making it too easy for MJ to score.

[@orchestrator6808]

30 years after lebron retires, looking back he will be the clear goat over jordan. with both being seen through nostalgia glasses, lebrons stats, longevity, and the context of his career and accolades will be way more impressive. plus his highlight tape is just more fun to watch w his freak athleticism

Bron win that 5th Chip and I can call him the GOAT. Until then he behind Kobe and Jordan. He don't even need 7 like he promised in Maimi. Just 5 to tie players who stayed with 1 franchise like Tim Duncan and Kobe

[@jgg6932]

Jordan and Kareem over LeBron is acceptable but having Kobe or anyone else over him is insanity. 1 extra ring doesn't equal or beat multiple finals MVPs, regular season Mvps, better stats, better longevity, better advanced metrics and basically every other accolade/stat etc the top 3 all time is MJ, Kareem and LeBron those guys have sperated themselves

[@BigWillieDillie]

@jgg6932 Kobe is the closest thing to Jordan and won without Shaq with a cast if bums and has q positive finals record.....But keep riding that Lebron train. Last time I checked he was losing against teams Kobe beat in the Finals. Orlando being one of them. Scoring isn't everything.....Especially when he turning the Ball over just as much. Forced passes being one of the biggest culprit. We all know winning in the Finals isn't his specialty or the man's hand would look like Tom Bradys or Rober Horry. Not comparing those players other than Jewelry so don't go there. 1 Chip after all that failure is necessary whether your opinion says so or not. I still have Magic over him. He just had a better "Career" than Magic but the success is hand and hand. Try again sir

[@jgg6932]

@@BigWillieDillie Again brother you're coping Kobe is top 10 not top 5 at worst like LeBron.. really top 3. What does Kobe have over LeBron? Fmvps nope? Regular season Mvps nope? Longevity nope, stats nope, advanced stats nope, playoff clutch stats nope, accolades nope it's not even a discussion my man Kobe has 1 extra ring(he was a legit role player on that first ring) he's a better ft shooter, better mid range and fancy footwork that's it. Transition LeBron is better, finishing at the rim LeBron is better, from 3 LeBron is better, passing LeBron is way better, efficiency LeBron is way better, running an offense LeBron is way better, more versatile defender LeBron is way better accept reality and move on it's okay no shame in being the 2nd greatest SG ever and a top 8 player

[@BigWillieDillie]

@jgg6932 Kobe has context. Which your argument lacks. Stats Lebron has, but he also has all of the bad ones. How is he a better passer when he gets the ball intercepted more than Kobes passes? Again, Lebron is the All-time Leader in Turnovers. Players with talent surrounding them normally have longer careers at a HOF skill level. Lebron had 0 chips at the age of 27, while Kobe had 3 at that age. Lebron has left his original team in need to get a better surrounding "Core" while Kobe stayed with his team and received less help on a Talent and All-Star selection scale. All of Lebrons teammates from his first Championship and Last championship is has more selection than Kobes winning championship and he has 6 added players due to a extra Ring and Lebron still has more help on a talent Level. Kobe can win you a championship if you draft him. Lebron James cannot and will leave and come back if you have enough talent. Kobe is a better winner in championships. That's why he has more rings. That jumping teams increase your chances of winning chips. That's why it's called ring chasing. Playing longer increases your chances of winning a chip. He got 4. Context is everything. That argument may work in a sport like football with Tom Brady, but at least I can't argue he has the record for all-time Turnovers. Try again, oh wait, you can't because what I said was facts and anything else you say is most likely Lebron BIAS. How are you a better passer when I compare....Kobe does 10 passes, and Lebron does 10 passes. 4 of Lebrons' passes are turnovers. 3 of Kobes are Turnovers bro. That's not a better passer. Kobe just passes less but when he does he is effective

[@jgg6932]

@@BigWillieDillie lmao talking about lacking context then don't mention why Kobe had 3 rings before he was 27 when it took LeBron longer 🤣 give LeBron prime Shaq and see what happens. Kobe was a role player for the first ring and a fringe number 2 option on the 2nd ring that's not impressive sorry. Put Kobe's ass in Cleveland with one of the worst run organizations in the league and big Z and mo Williams as his number 2 and 3 options and see how long before he's punching teammates and coaches hahaha 🤣
