I love how the entire purpose of that article was to slander Jordan and prop up Lebron in the GOAT debate (the writer Tom Haberstroh has been on record stating he thinks Lebron is the GOAT like 7 years ago btw, before he even won his 4th ring) and yet people in the comments here are saying "why are you bringing up Lebron in a video that has nothing to do with him? Insecure Jordan fans" ... y'all are either delusional and disingenuous. Stop pretending that people aren't trying to discredit the 90s and attempt to tarnish Jordan's legacy for no apparent reason. We all know the only reason why certain journalists and people want to do this, and it has everything to do with Lebron. The end of the article literally mentions the GOAT debate and has a video of Lebron in it... it mentions how DPOY is used by various people as a reason they have Jordan over Lebron in the GOAT debate (the entire purpose of the article at its core is to discredit/devalue Jordan's DPOY), and he specifically mentions instances where people have said this on video (including the likes of Jalen Rose), quoting them. So please stop with that nonsense.

[@d3adyoutubeaccount]

I think Rondo was just trying to get assists either way sometimes instead of playing the game the right way. No disrespect to the future HOF though, one of the greatest playmakers I’ve ever seen and I personally think he’s the most talented passer ever

[@goosnavslakovic4908]

Although i do have to say that shady score keeping and home stats raise questions on a lot of older players' records, i think every star player's stats are massively inflated. If you look now on whats officially considered an assist, you can find that modern players like bron are receiving assists for passing to a player who doesnt score until a significant amount of play later. This makes the numbers sensational and makes the players look good. Its still happening now. And even worse when you consider lax traveling rules and foul calls.

[@itzwakk335]

His whole thing was "hopefully there's more oversight so stats aren't snuck in like how they used to be" when stats are literally inflated today, the method is just different.

I hope we going through Lebrons home and away stats to see his home scorekeepers probably did the same thing

In the 2005 season, LeBron has 74% more blocks credited at home than on the road. The stats are freely available online to anyone who wants to question that

[@redwarrior118]

I don't feel Home vs Road can be considered as solid evidence for inaccurate stat keeping. It'd have been much better if you took the film, recorded it with today's standards, and compared it with the box scores at the time.

[@YeeSoest]

This is why EVERY NBA debate has an asterisk, not just some Rings and some Silverware. Awards are ALWAYS subjective, never neutral. Rings are won by TEAMS, not Players or Coaches alone Unless you saw the man play, you don't know jack about their skill level bc AWARDS that sports and media people VOTE FOR sure as hell aren't how you find out and stats are just stats... Jordan bullied his way to a DPOY, we all know MVP or ROY votes that were nonsensical...NEVER argue by awards, there's NO point and NO WAY I'm just gonna go and count stuff to see who's better. That's not how it works! That ish only tells you who got the most recognition that year or begged for it the hardest

[@John6-40]

Ok then. So championships, awards and stats don't count. Only eye test, I guess. Then I don't see how any rational person could watch MJ and LeBron and come to any conclusion other than Jordan was better at basketball. He didn't rely on bully ball or lowering his shoulder. Jordan had a better handle than LeBron. A quicker first step. Better in the post. Better mid-range. Quicker laterally. Better free throw shooter. Even Jordan's passing highlights are arguably better. Jordan played passing lanes better. Quicker hands on defense. Gave more effort on defense. LeBron has bully ball on Jordan. Anything else?

[@YeeSoest]

@@John6-40 hold on. They do count, it's just not ONE guy who decides if you get a ring or not and awards are CLEARLY given under somewhat biased circumstances. Are you trying to tell me you were okay with all MVPs, DPOYs and ROYs in your lifetime from a somewhat reasonable and neutral standpoint? They're clearly given by narrative. I'm not even gonna go into GOAT territory, LeBron and MJ have had vastly different play styles and careers in vastly different eras, I don't even know how to compare one to the other but sure, if anyone is the GOAT of Basketball, it was always gonna be Jordan since the day he left. Why debate the obvious? We can debate if prime Bron did more for a team than prime Jordan or who would be better in the other's era but all of that is mute. Jordan redefined basketball for the globe, that includes me, after that LeBron could only achieve one thing: redefining longevity. Did that. Okay. What I'm pointing to is the fact that when you know the stats can both be rigged and padded, knowing that people vote for awards based on stats ALONE is a PROBLEM. People are awarded contracts generating generational wealth based on obviously and demonstrably flawed statlines. If that's 'just sports' for you, fine... Another point is strictly for people trying to make bets or give prophecies: don't go by awards or stats, go by what you know or who you know. Bet against them if you know they're worse than the stats and awards make them look. Bet on them if you think they're underrated. Don't bet on the guy with 4 MVPs, he may not even care anymore and be a bad bet ...

Usually, the truth is a mix of the two or appreciating both.

[@awesomereviews1561]

With the way they count assists today, if Stockton was playing he would average 20 assists a game.

[@17thNO]

Now there needs to be an investigation on "fouls" and travels in this last passing and current era. Also all the personal grudge "technical foul" calls against Rasheed Wallace or Tim Duncan on the bench laughing on the bench or Allen Iverson not getting calls because the referees didn't like him. Or all the the technicals called against Westbrook. We can do this all day.

[@John6-40]

Or the roughly +1000 FT discrepancy by the Lakers over the last couple years. That has helped LeBron rest on defense while stat hunting on offense, meanwhile the Lakers stay competitive despite that because of that discrepancy. Not to bring up politics, but it's a similar deal with the Trump charges. All politicians have dirt if you dig. Biden weaponized the FBI to take down a political opponent. LeBron is weaponizing the media to take down "the ghost in Chicago". Sorry if you're a liberal and I offended you somehow with the analogy, but tbh, it's a perfect analogy.

The only "sketchy" thing is singling out Jordan for something that (apparently) decades worth of players were guilty of. Sometimes. Maybe. What's also sketchy is the roughly +800 Free Throws LeBron's team has gotten vs his opponents over the last couple years. Maybe we should throw the whole NBA in the toilet if we're going down this rabbit hole. When you just single out Jordan, you look like a click hunter or a LeBron fanboy. Maybe both.

[@JeremyGraczyk]

There is video evidence from this year alone that shows scorekeepers are padding LeBron's rebounds and assists. Ya know how Scottie said Jordan would get credit when he tipped a ball to Jordan? LeBron, aaaaaall the way here now in the 2023-24 season, gets credit for rebounds when AD or another teammate tips it to him. His teammates, though, do not get credit for a rebound when he tips it to them - that goes to LeBron too. Funny isn't it 🤔

[@John6-40]

Also, let's not even go into how most assists are "judgement calls". How many times have we seen LeBron basically hand the ball to a guy on a simple pass and get an assist after the guy shook the opponent with a dribble move and get the bucket? Again, if we really dig deep in this rabbit hole, we won't like what we see. But the point from those digging isn't to expose some grand conspiracy in the NBA. It's to take down Jordan and prop up their false idol because his career is essentially over and he still hasn't caught Mike. If we weren't talking about THIS, we were talking about the Lakers falling apart and LeBron getting a black HC fired for his white friend. Or how toxic LeBron is to teams. Instead, we're now trashing Jordan. LeBron truly is the "goat" of running the media and flipping the narratives.

[@JeremyGraczyk]

@@John6-40 Bingo. 100% true. Klutch Sports has tried everything - 90s NBA was weak because of expansion, Scottie Pippen was the real reason the Bulls won, they played against plumbers, now this. It was incredibly stupid of them to go this route since we have lots of video evidence of scorekeepers padding LeBron's stats, but they were backed into a corner when LeBron said he believes he would he the GOAT if he won a DPOY 🤣🤣🤣

[@John6-40]

​@@JeremyGraczykYep. All of LeBron's recent DPOY talk was him setting the table for this. He knew what was coming because he and Klutch are pulling the strings. 10 or 20 years down the road, LeBron is going to be exposed for all of this. You don't even have to scratch very hard beyond the surface to see how much LeBron has corrupted the media to change narratives for him. Eventually, I believe LeBron will be disregarded entirely as a player. Just like the Hit King Pete Rose. The only difference is that baseball had integrity. The NBA and Adam Silver? I'm not so sure. Especially after the free throw discrepancies over the last couple years (at least) favoring LeBron's Lakers.

This is just another tiktok style trend for the brainrot crowd. "Let's question statistics, but only for Jordan and old players, not LeBron and new players". Let's not look at how current players can freely travel and commit offensive fouls. Let's not look at LeBron and current player's padded assists and rebound totals. Let's not look at the Lakers outrageous free throw discrepancies. If we want to get really technical about this, let's be fair, right?

[@John6-40]

Maybe these idiots should pull up 6 random games from last season and apply old traveling and offensive foul rules and let us know how many violations there were. I'm guessing those stats would blow some minds. That doesn't suit the Klutch narratives, though.

Damn so many LeBron haters here even though he wasn't in the video 😂😂

[@JeremyGraczyk]

@@IDK_0402 He was in the article that Andy stole from and repeated basically word-for-word in this video - Andy just left out that part for "reasons." In the original article this video is based on, Tom HaBronsexual has a whole section devoted to LeBron _really, really wanting_ a DPOY award because then that would _for sure_ make him the GOAT! Tom intimates that if Jordan _didn't actually_ deserve his DPOY, then LeBron is really the GOAT!! Tom "consulted" with Nick Wright on this "project", and he was immediately interviewed by Chris Broussard about the article. Both are employees of Klutch Sports. What's even further, a few months ago while sipping wine with JJ Redick on his podcast (who's now the Lakers head coach btw 😮‍💨), LeBron said he deserved to win DPOY in 2012-13 over "that other guy", and he's upset he didn't win it because it's the one award he doesn't have for the GOAT conversation. LeBron is such a petty, weak individual, he couldn't even say Marc Gasol's name. So that's why people are bringing up LeBron. Hope that helps champ 😘👍👍

[@branislavlukic3919]

This is some LeBron fandom, when you look at LeBron's assists they are highly inflated either home or away. He gets a steal when player knocks the ball to his hands. He gets the rebound when somene knocks the ball to his hands. Each game they remove couple of his shots to boost his fg percentage, and they do that for his entire career.

MJ would NEVER" to "It was his defense that really set him apart" to "yeah, his defensive player of the year award was BS, and yeah, somehow Bron lost DPOY to a guy who was on the all NBA 2nd Defensive team, but I'd like to see Bron play BASEBALL"

Wow, there is so much lack of common sense here that my brain nearly exploded reading this. 1. LeBron himself can't keep Jordan out of his mouth. Your favorite media actors like Shannon Sharpe, Nick Wright and countless others can't keep Jordan out of their mouths. Everything used against Jordan is to prop up LeBron. Then when Jordan fans pop up for the latest attack, you fake surprise so you can pretend that Jordan fans are insecure? Laughable. 2. Who said Jordan "never missed a shot"? 3. Only idiots think "6 for 6" is the only argument Jordan has. 4. If this was ever about the total stats, then Kareem would've been the best ever, and still would be. He was 1st in points, with 6 championships and 6 league MVP's. Only after LeBron got the points record did yall try to act like it's about the totals. 5. Jordan averaged more points, steals and blocks with fewer turnovers. In both reg season and playoffs. Jordan has a higher PER and win shares per 48 in both reg season and playoffs. Jordan has 2 more championships, 1 more MVP and 3 more all-defense teams than LeBron, despite playing 6 fewer years. There.

There are numerous examples on youtube alone of LeBron James getting credit for assists and rebounds that he does not deserve. Uncut Hoops and Angry Old Hoops have video evidence and examples from this year itself. So you're just flat out wrong about sports gambling "cleaning up stat keeping." If you want to argue that the league relies much more on interpretation nowadays to get around stat-padding, sure go ahead, but it still means a stat that would count today would not have been counted in the past

@@peter2oo151 no we not good. Tom HaBronsexual consulted and worked with Nick Wright on the story. Nick Wright is an employee of Klutch Sports.

[@JeremyGraczyk]

@@mr.longjohn0014 I don't care what their view is. They provide video proof that LeBron gets his stats padded, as recently as this year. You can disagree with literally everything they have to say, but video doesn't lie. By the way, I'm still waiting on Tom Haberstroh to upload those Jordan tapes he watched. Because no one else can find them. What people have been able to find for Bulls' home games from the 87-88 season online (THE FULL GAME, not just a 5-minute highlight reel) though, shows that the steals totals match with the box score 😶

@@skymav6 No, he wasn’t ”telling the truth”. This whole ”research” on the 1987-88 DPOY was based on a sample size of six games, conveniently games which aren’t available on the internet or KZbin. Instead, the stats were counted by watching ”some dude’s old VHS tape”. Seems legit. Play by play was introduced to the NBA during the 2nd 3-peat. You can go watch those; there’s hundreds of games to go through. Doing so, you’ll find out that there is no discrepancy between how stats are counted for all other NBA players, and Michael Jordan’s stats. Nice try, misinformation is a key part of LeFraud’s fanbase and their attempt to undermine the GOATs of previous eras. Do better next time.

The best thing about Jordan's stat-keeping is the game where he was credited with 4 steals, and the opposing team only had 3 turnovers. Lack of video evidence is the only thing keeping the Jordan acolytes vocal about their prophet.

Wow. Someone found a single stat keeping anomaly and now you think we can just disregard a man's entire career. Being a LeBron fan must be rough.

Tom Haberstroth has no credibility, dude graduated high school in 2004, a yr after bron dude was a MIAMI HEAT reporter during the yrs LeBron was there and he used a 6 game sample size out of 41 home games Jordan. Are we this stupid we can see the agenda here? Question the validity of the only award bron never won but only questions MJs validity, not any other DPOY recipient, let's not be stupid here

[@yoofij4724]

So many hurt guys in the comments not actually paying attention to the acc video smh. Every GOAT level player warps the game and stats a little bit. But in this case it seems to be worse in the 90s and earlier. Thats okay. Jordan was still great and he said of his own award that its based off of reputation. Not the best award is all

[@momo.maru-kun]

Hate it, love it, believe it, discredit it. it still happened. And so, that's what I take away from it, is being yourself on purpose in public all the time is the most important thing you can do as a human being and Michael did it with grace and humility on the grandest stage. If you are one of those people who disparage the great minds and talents of the past to get recognition for yourself or acknowledgement of your existence, then that's on you, it reflects your poor character and culture. Lebron may end up in the history books not as an ambassador for his achievements, but for discrediting others to get there. The difference is that fans wanted Jordan to win. LeBron, on the other hand, has his hand and fingerprints all over the narratives. For a player to do something that vile is simply the lowest of the low.

[@momo.maru-kun]

Lebron is my generation, I'm just ashamed of it. Simply distasteful. Jordan played even before I was born. Similar to other great people Einstein, George Washington, but we all give our respect to them as they paved the way for us. Learn from them.

[@theophilusjones6024]

They shorten the 3 point line for MJ too and his 3 point percentages were at his best those years that they did it. Meanwhile they gave Tyson Chandler and Marc Gasol the DPOY in 2012, 2013… neither one of them could even make the FIRST TEAM ALL DEFENSE… it’s sad, these individual awards are honestly starting to become very meaningless. The media pushes narratives and it’s not fair. Bron should have ATLEAST one DPOY, which would obviously help is goat case ALOT… topic for another day but Jordan is also so blessed that he didn’t play in the social media era. One example, is that they would’ve crucified him for that 1991 ring. Pippen switching on to Magic changed the series and what’s even crazier.. Worthy and Scott were hurt and both missed games that series… if this was Bron, we’d hear how this was a Mickey Mouse ring or something… the NBA community has to be better

[@ezirulez4eva175]

The nba shortened the 3 point line because scoring was decreasing but it didn’t do anything so they changed it and ,just guarded magic in games 3,4,5 if you watch the proper thing magic was only guarded by Scottie in game 2

[@John6-40]

1. Jordan was playing baseball when they shortened the line. 🤦‍♂️ 2. Jordan shot .343 (LeBron's career %) in the 4 seasons prior to his retirement. He was fine from 3 and didn't need the league's help. Dumb take. You were looking for likes and just came up with whatever asinine bullshit sounded cool. That's the problem with you kids and the internet. You don't care about actually thinking things through or saying the (actual) correct thing. You just care about saying something profound (right or wrong) that gets you noticed by others. Do better.
