What a joke. I was not a big fan of Jordan, by ANY stretch, but Lebron shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as him.

[@seonwallace]

Facts me neither, but I know basketball and I know we shouldn't be having this conversation 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@basketbALL09]

I appreciate your perspective, but I think it's important to recognize the unique contributions and talents of both players. Jordan set a high standard in his era, and LeBron has made significant achievements in his own right. Comparing players across different eras can be challenging, but both have made lasting impacts on the game.

[@port80764]

@@susanstamboulian646 I'm a big Jordan fan grew up in Chicago watching him playing as a big time fan. But I knew since the first time I saw lebron playing that he was a better player than Jordan. And lebron has more than proven he deserves to be considered as the goat.

[@Lanetta402]

Why base your arguments on ifs and not what actually happened. You lost the argument once you used that clown draymond one the biggest bronsexusels around

[@basketbALL09]

I hear you, but I don't think it's all about hypotheticals. LeBron's achievements, such as winning championships with different teams and his impressive stats, speak for themselves. Because we can never see them face off against each other, comparing them always involves some 'what ifs.' Both players have had incredible careers, and each has unique accomplishments that make them great.

*CASE CLOSED* LeBron won a championship with a teammate who scored (THIRTY POINTS PER GAME 30.0) in the Finals cooking the LEAGUE's M.V.P. (Steph Curry) and hit the game winning shot to clinch the series. Jordan *WISHES* that he ever had a Scottie Pippen or a Horace Grant that could do that on the court with him at the same time! Morale: Jordan played with the players that he was given to play with and DOMINATED. LeBron hops from team to team pairing up with LEAGUE MVP WORTHY TALENT (Dwayne Wade) and ALL STARS (Kevin Love, Kyrie, Anthony Davis) and that gets him..... "Average" (4 titles out of 10 title game tries).

[@basketbALL09]

I see your point, but I have to respectfully disagree. LeBron has faced incredibly tough competition and has excelled with multiple teams, showcasing his adaptability and skill. While Jordan dominated with the team he had, LeBron's ability to win championships with different teammates and in different contexts is equally impressive. Both players have their unique strengths and contributions to the game.

[@kengray6965]

Stop believing that. Jordan took several years to get there and had to get a lot of Hall Of Famers to win. He didn't do it alone. None of his teammates were basic players. Tons of Hall of Famers. Jordan , Bird, Isaiah, Magic all were surrounded by stars. Wack to say that.

[@85pearlboy]

@@kengray6965 "Jordan took several years to get there and had to GET a LOT of hall of famers to win" oh my god, I don't know what to do with you, first of all, Jordan didn't ask for hall of famers, he led the bulls to their first three peat with a DRAFTED player who ended up being a hall of famer, but just one, not plural, stop making stuff up, and again, Jordan never had a shitty playoff performance unlike the self proclaimed goat,

[@basketbALL09]

You are acting like Jordan had a great numbers during his rookie years.

[@michaelmccabe7576]

Nope. Jordan played in a tougher era and was better regardless.

[@Lippeyman23]

Jordan played in the easiest era of basketball on a superteam. Bron played in the toughest era of competition in nba history. Faced the Stacked san antonio sputs team multiple times faced the superteam warriors multiple times. MJ ran into jeff hornacek and Hersey hawkins and dan marley in the finals. I mean please. Lebron never played on a superteam chris bosh was overrated in Miami.

[@markcruz8952]

​@Lippeyman23 jordan opponents average 61 points and leflop opponents average 60 points...easiest? Lolz....jordan team was the juggernaut

[@simonhowell4486]

​​@@markcruz8952 You proved his point about Jordan teams being stacked. WTH is 60-61? You do know that is also a product of playing against bad teams It is known that Jordan's competition lied within the east itself, the West had already fallen off and the east was starting to. I don't think LeBron is greater than Jordan, but to judge a whole man's career based off a series against a good team is idiotic

[@markcruz8952]

@simonhowell4486 my point is in lebron's era the Eastern was so weak and yet lebron quite dominated the Eastern while in jordan era the East was stronger opponents and tougher while Jordan's dominated both west and east conference....this is only 1 fact that jordan and bulls was the juggernaut...warriors were never the juggernaut why? Coz they lost to lebron in 3-1 they never had a 3 peat...while jordan never had a chance of game 7...they 3peated twice and jordan led the team to scoring 1st all defensive selection....and won the FMVP and league MVP in the same season the fact was not just once.....

Love checking out new up coming comedy channels, now show all the highlights of LeBron quitting on his team's in the playoffs when it wasn't going his way. The fact he's run off to multiple teams had the make his super teams and then quit on them after a few seasons when it didn't work is proof enough. Sure LeBron is prolly the best physically for his era..

[@basketbALL09]

[@gmr5139]

@NBA Debate absolutely, MJ would carry them all the way... 1st 3peat MJ had Scottie on him while Lebum had Wade and Bosh and Kyrie and Kevin plus those players picked by Lebum to play with him...stop your lunacy!! of course, MJ Wizard has a bunch of no name player plus the fact that he just came from 2 years of lay off playing while Lebum has AD, Delo, Reeves and Hachi but they could not do it because Lebum is not a superior player like MJ...

[@basketbALL09]

Uhmm Jordan cant even carry the Wizards to the playoffs.

[@vwnclubb7591]

Lebron loss more Championships than he won. MJ would have never averaged 3 points a game in the 4th quarters of the 2011 Finals like Lebron did. MJ would have never jumped ship from Cleveland in 2010 to take the easier route to win a Championship the way Lebron did and later KD did in 2016. MJ is the GOAT.. A 3peat Champion has not been achieved in 22 years and Jordan's Bulls did it twice.

[@basketbALL09]

That was a cherry-picked stat because LeBron never scored only 2 points in a game while playing 40 minutes like Jordan did, which is absurd. Even though he switched teams, he brought a championship to every team he joined. Jordan didn't make it to the playoffs during his second year with the Wizards.

[@85pearlboy]

​​@@basketbALL09how his abysmal performance against the Mavs is cherry picking, losing the finals because you played awful 4 out of 7 games, that was Lebron's defining moment,, that choked job was one for the ages, find me a playoff series where MJ was the reason the bulls lost, of course you won't find it, finally, LeBron lost two more series with homecourt advantage, against the Celtics and against the magic, you talked about how Jordan won every finals because they were the favorites in every single one, that's debatable, but if that's the case, at least Jordan delivered, since Jordan is perfect in the playoffs when having homecourt advantage, in fact he's the only superstar with that achievement, meanwhile your boy lebron lost 3 series with homecourt advantage, Jordan delivered every single time and LeBron didn't

[@bobbyd1632]

@@basketbALL09 buddy Bron didn't make the playoffs in 2022 (and he was younger than MJ in Washington and MJ injured his knee) so what are you even talking about? 2 points yes his shot wasn't falling that night so he focused on helping winning the game in other ways - 9 assists 0 tov good defense 8 rbs and he was 40 years old man in the lowest scoring era of all time

[@oryan404]

Right out the gate you started out wrong, KD was not with the warriors when they won 73 games. MJ never faced Steph, but he went aganst Bird, Miller, Allen, and so many more great 3-point shooters, but the biggest difference is Steph had the green light to shoot as many three's as he want and those other guys didnt. You talking bout MJ couldn't get the Wizards to the conference finals and Lebron is still doing it at 39, but what you're leaving out is the fact that the Lakers didnt get to the finals until they strongarmed the pels for AD and that Wizards roster was about the same as the Lakers when Lebron got there. Lebron is good, but he never won without having another teams franchise player on his team.

LeBron was the number one draft pick during his rookie season, being drafted by the worst team in the NBA. Jordan was never drafted by the same team and was never a first draft pick during his time. Therefore, comparing team achievements in this argument is invalid.
