Magic was a better passer, but LeBron is a better scorer, defender and rebounder. He's also more athletic. They both had the ability to carry teams deep into the playoffs, but LeBron is the better overall player. LeBron is a better version of Magic in my opinion.
All these topics do is help Lebron James. Jordan fans don’t realise that the more they bring up Lebron, the more credibility they give his goat argument.
Totally. I agree with you. But when you look back at MJ's accomplishments as individual and for the league (sending an unforgettable trend - Jordanesque). That guy was P-H-E-N-O-M-E-N-A-L!

@@No-Hassle Lebron has a better resume? Lmao! Look at unbeatable records between Jordan and Lebron. Pretty sure Lebrons resume is lacking. I wouldnt even put him in the top 20 of all time.
@@aaroncoonfield7092 and if you look at the deeper stats like the PER,Jordan is 1st..............of ALL-TIME. AKA hes the MOST productive AND efficient player of all-time. Jordan is a BEAST on offense AND defense.
What lol? Lebron is by far more consistently great he went to 8 straight finals.... mj consistently couldn’t get past the first round without pippen and the rest of his all time team.
BriBriBros well LeBron couldn’t win a chip without wade and bosh, and then kryie and love. Smfh I hate when people say “OH jordan couldn’t win without Scottie”
Ummm Lebron James is practically top ten in almost every statistic, what do you mean when did Lebron jump over everyone else? Do you not pay attention to the NBA?
GNB Lebron couldn’t stop Kawhi. Kawhi could stop Lebron. And he left the game. Never ever would that happen to Kobe or Jordan. He’s not a killer and you know it. You know it was Kyrie with the jumper that was the killer. Just like it was Ray Allen in Miami. Lebron is great just not a killer. I’m a lakers fan I wanna be wrong lol.
MJ has the killer instinct and made everyone around him better. Not to mention 6 for 6 titles. Just imagine if he didn’t leave for baseball. Or if the Bulls didn’t get broken up after 1998. That’s 8-10 titles easy. Insane.
You're tripping. MJ is a terrible leader and teammate. Your points are straight up backwards, cause MJ needed a support cast of yay sayers, he assaulted them and threw hissy fits when that perfectly assembled roster didn't perform to his liking. (while LBJ both carries and conducts his teams like few before) Also they didn't get worse when he retired lol (contrary to LBJ) he came back and they got kicked out with him in the first round of '95 playoffs, so your argument is a joke. MJ didn't get past real opposition till he was in his prime with a perfect team build around him and his opposition was washed up...
@@octopus8420 Lebron came back from a 3-1 deposit against the greatest regular season team in NBA history. That's goat status in my eyes. Let's also not forget that Jordan had Pippen and Rodman.
For those who didn't live through that time, there was a special feeling watching Jordan play even if you weren't a Bulls fan. Nobody has had that aura since. Maybe Steph Curry to a degree when he was hitting all those 3's that one year a few years ago but nothing like Jordan during his time. He was something something special to watch and never disappointed.
Not Detroit. He beat him up for 4 yrs straight. But unlike Lebron, MJ never had excuses, whined about it, softcast on his hand and let his fans played defense for him
How is being with a team combined for 11 years bailing out smh ? You dont think it takes leadership just to get to the finals 7 consecutive times on two different teams 8 in total apperances. You dont get to the finals that many times without leadership.
@@blkthedonxexodus9383 Remember when Jordan retired in 1993? How far did Scottie get with the Bulls the next season?. A rusty Jordan fresh out of retirement from playing Major league baseball. Took the Bulls to the Eastern Conference finals then went 72 & 10 the following season & won the title.
@@No-Hassle Try us one that he deliberately done it to try fool the refs. Oh by the way, have you counted how much LBJ appeared on Shaq'ting the fool where get caught flopping?
When lebron had his massive choke session in the 2011 finals that ended any and all chances of lebron ever being the goat. Lebron had to learn to have a killer instinct. Jordan was born with it. Lebron personally formed super teams. Jordan won with what was given to him. No debate. Jordan is the GOAT
just a reminder... mj didnt even got to the finals until he got pipen and phil, and mj was in a healthy club that knew how to build the team around him. if you take lebron and put him the 90's bulls he would have won 6 rings also if you take mj and put him the cavs they wouldnt even get to the finals
@Sarthak Kaushik Agree with you. Too many young spectators havent done their homework on the impact previous players (MJ, Kareem,Wilt) would have on today's game. Absolute domination. Even comparing how Magic lead the offence and his passing abilities. He would embarrass bron. It really is too bad that a time machine couldnt place a player like lebron in a challenging era of days past. He would be a good player but definitely not dominate. He's too uncoordinated to excel back then. Not smooth in his movements at all. He has the previous era to thank and was fortunate to thrive in the soft era he played in. I've seen some young fans post vlogs lately and nice to see they have their eyes open as to how much better previous eras were.
@@ronenmaimon2285 you mean a Scottie Pippen who averaged 7.9ppg as a rookie, or Phil Jackson a 1st time Head Coach who no one knew of? Great Coaches need Great Players and vice versa but Lebron keeps jumping teams he doesn't stay long enough.
@@ronenmaimon2285 lmao Pippen became a better player as you know because of Jordan. As for Phil, well, the GM happened to bring in the greatest offensive mind in the game Tex Winter.
Everyone forgets one feat of jordan being great when he went to retirement the 1st time and it made the whole league and the world beg just for him to come back and play again.
kasper rieberg Agree we all know Michael Jordan is the Goat always will be the Greatest Lebron is not in micheal Jordan League Kevin Durant will dog out Lebron if he healthy
Remember when Jordan was struggling to win a championship in Chicago so he went into free agency, aired his decision on TV, and then teamed up with Bird and Magic?.... yeah, me neither.
Josh Baker I remember LeBron constantly being teamed with all stars with greater talent than those bulls teams, and still can barely win championships.
Each year Jordan won a championship he got even better as a player, retired came back and 6-0 Championships. Each year Lebron won a championship he needed more help. End of conversation.
smarter coaches and smarter players... people never think about schemes they developed to beat someone... jordan doesnt win 6-0 in this era im sorry no one does... unless its like a big 3 thats crazy dominate
Jordan left after each 3 and after he came back in 95 and knew he couldn't win he asked for rodman's help. You forget Jordan had one of the best two way players in the league who took on most of his tough defensive assignments, arguably the best rebounder all time and great defender, hof coach with a hof system, arguably the greatest gm of all time, and one of the best benches all time but you get mad at bron for going to Miami for a little help or coming back to Cleveland for the same amount of help
@@j2tyme285 get your facts straight. Mj was a defensive player of the year. Pippen is great talent but without Mj's leadership he probably wouldn't be who he is. As far as rodman, he's a great piece but not rodman of the pistons. Phil became gr8 after the first 3. Lebron had more talent around him in Miami and Cleveland but only won 3. So nobody is mad when lebron accomplishes less with more talents (all stars) on his team
Unfortunately thats not true. The die hard Jordan fans will always say he's the best no matter what. If another 6'6 player came in with handles like Kyrie, a shot like Curry, explosiveness like Russ, Bounce like Lavine and the drive of Kobe and Jordan combined all while averaging 60 a game Jordan fans would say Jordan would've averaged 61
holdupish Not at all. If a player comes along who is better and achieved more in the same timeframe or quicker he will be accepted as GOAT the way Jordan was accepted.
The players on the Bulls weren't worried about having to answer to Phil Jackson if they messed up or simply didn't perform, they were worried about having to answer to Michael Jordan. And that wasn't just in games, it was during their practices as well. MJ probably would have punched JR Smith in the face during that game 1 finals loss. 😂
That’s the difference between MJ and LBJ. MJ would’ve definitely got in the face of JR, LBJ got passive aggressive like he usually does and used him as an excuse for him losing.
@@EdStravagent pippen didn't come to the league guns blazing, Sweetie. During Pip's first year MJ won DPOTY and led in both steals and blocks. Plus those teams he lost to weren't scrubs
edstravagent, I get it you are a young dumb millennial parroting nonsense you heard from another blind witness fool. In 87. Pippen didn't start came off the bench and avg 7 pts.

@@danieldeering860 so was the bulls when Jordan got there. Jordan didn't jump ship he went to the gym and got stronger. Everyone needs help but if you moving around it's no good
@Real Is Real;MJ didn't grow,he held the League HOSTAGE by threatening to RETIRE in the interview after the 1990 Game 7 Eastern Conference finals ABUSE at Detroits hands!! A WEEK later David Stern outlawed hand checks and zone defenses,then ADDED a penalty for playing tight defense on prolific scorers,called a "BLOCKING" foul!! Jordan knew the money he brought to the League would prompt rule changes where defenses are LIMITED in what they could do to stop scorers. All for the MONEY!! Fair-play went out with Moses Malone and Dr.J!!
When you're having to constantly make excuses for one player while the other one hardly has any faults on the resume, then it's quite obvious who is the GOAT while the other is media fabricated. Good for coffee talk. All it is really.
What you mean no excuses? WHY DIDN'T JORDAN EVER WIN ANYTHING WITHOUT PIPPEN OR JACKSON? Ever. I mean even after he came back from retirement he STILL couldn't win.
MJ also had so many faults and the same things we accuse LeBron of we can access MJ of similar things. Look at the relationship between management and the players. My question is why are people so biased when talking about MJ? I'm MJ fan but Jesus MJ played golf with opponents the day before a playoff game? LeBron would've been buried if he had done that and lost the game. MJ was a bad leader but great player and we don't have to lie to make him perfect.
Regardless of what kind of people they are Jordan fans pretend like he just played 6 seasons and left. The years before 91 and Wizard years count too. LeBron is in the MVP conversation and playing for the #1 seed (in “tougher” West) in year 17.
Steve Kerr, can anyone tell me what team he played before Bulls? Jordan made Kerr a household name, and then Kerr became GM, now head coach for Warriors; without MJ, there is no Kerr, and no Warriors dynasty
MJ kept a running tally of all the centers in the league that he DUNKED on! Come on! His competitiveness was unbelievable! He made it his business to let the league know he's here!
no its because you got David Stern homeboys in office pushing the agenda because thats their puppet for life and jordan owes them his life because they murdered a guy for him who wanted to kill him because of a bet. jordan allowed two teenagers falsely accused to go to jail for something they set them up for to clean up jordan mess. NO NO NO NO DAT SELLOUT IS NEVER THE GOAT
Most of mjs peers and before & after he played basketball recognized him acknowledge and respected him and he never proclaim himself as the one nor ask for respect. His ferrocious competitive fire in the basketball court and the way he talks to the media and how he handle himself outside the court made him as the goat.
Mike stayed with Chicago. Each year getting to know teammates. Made himself better each year and pushed his teammates to become better. Mike led by example. Everyone wanted to become better BECAUSE of Mike AND they wanted his approval
Exactly. Even players fro opposing teams (based on interviews) say that they either have sleepless night before playing chicago and they UP their game because they are playing Jordan.
because they just cant beat the MJ is better argument on the field, because everything that's measurable on the field MJ is clearly better, so they have to bring out things like leadership or personality etc and try to make a narrative there, just sad.
Liu Matt lol facts next it’s gona be how people have died over getting my shoes. Lol nobody has every died over lebrons shoes so he must be the goat. Just stop they look sad because lebron was the goat there would be no debate and we would just move one. People love to credit Tom Brady with the goat status but then find a way to criticize mj. It’s because he did it on the largest stage and never once came off as being arrogant like lebron

ACC fan here. BIG 10 Michigan Jalen Rose is the most intelligent spokesperson on Sports T.V. He has the experience to back up everything he say's. Jalen even expresses his thoughts like a professional announcer. He should have his own show because the man is very knowledgeable in whatever the dialogue is. Mr. Rose thank you for your professionalism!!!
THANK YOU JALEN! People sleeeeep on Kareem man. Dude is easily #2 some can argue #1 on the GOAT conversation. Russell, Magic, Wilt... c'mon. Even Kobe is arguably greater than LeBron.
@Aswan Aswan I dont understand why these clowns keep saying lebron vs Mj it should be Kobe vs MJ Kobe is the only player that can beat jordan 1 on 1 lebron doesnt even stand a chance
I thought lebron could become the greatest ever until I saw him quit against the Mavs in the finals. He was still a stat monster for the series but he quit & the video of him standing around proves it. It was stunning to watch. He’s given up multiple times in his career in series. Is he the most physically talented all-around player of all time? Probably. But the greatest player? No.
Uncle BobMarley that wasn’t funny. He’s the goat because he as 10 final appearances and is about to win his 4 ring. has the most all nba teams of all time. 1 in playoff points. 1. in steals in playoffs. 2. in triple doubles. He also has the most games win in the playoffs and he hadn’t even played the most playoff games. He’s also the first person to average a triple double in the finals and lead both teams in every major caterogory in the finals. he is also 3rd in all time assists in the playoffs. 2 in 3 pointers made. he’s number 2 in all time points in the finals, also 2 in all time 3 pointers made in the finals, and number 2 in all time assist in the finals, number 2 in all time steals in the finals 5th in total rebounds in the finals and 7 in total blocks in the finals. honestly this guy is a all around freak! he will most likely surpass kareem in all time points in the pace he is moving in. and the crazy thing is scoring isn’t his best ability. that’s not who he is. is it a big part of it ? yes but it isn’t his biggest move in his bag. it’s his passing and play making iq. when Lebron is on the court in these game with the lakers it’s like he’s coaching to be honest. When he is on the floor most of the assists come from him wither he gets the assist or he makes the play that leads to a pass to assist. and this guy is gonna he the all time leading scorer of all time?? lebron will most likely win finals mvp. making him the first player to win finals mvp on three different teams. this man lebron is the most durable NBA player of all time and the most durable one that is out right now. tom brady is the only one i can think of more durable then him. LeBron being such a all around player makes him my GOAT. if you disagree go ahead. but i will say another thing i don’t want to hear “ LeBron had a cakewalk to the finals” The clippers were severerd the same cake. and just maybe if they actually took this seriously and didn’t load management they could’ve been the 1st seed. it’s not the lakers fault the bucks and Clippers didn’t make it, or the raptors and celtics.
Lebron's "leadership" is passive aggressive BS like tweeting at his teammates publicly instead of talking to them in the locker room. lmaaoo I've seen Bron do some GREAT leadership but also act like a child.
Jay Williams is a Duke boy. Jordan is a Carolina man. That's why he says these things. Jordan hurt Shannon Sharpe's feelings gambling and that's his reason for his Goat argument. Nick Wright just wants to be with LeBron. That's his reasoning. Lol.😜😅😀😁😂😀😃😄😆😅😂😁🤩😋
@@chiefsosa1574 thanks to mainly MJ. do research MJ demanded the best from them and had them working out like crazy, took Pippen who wasnt even CLOSE to what he was once MJ took him under his wing and brought him to his 5am practices, 1 on 1 practicing etc. The audacity to throw any kind of shade at MJ who set the table for ALL these stars nowadays is ridiculous
Chief Sosa that’s just facts one guy trade his guys or just form superteams to win. When the other one had to will his teammates into greatness. MJ never played with a player that avg 20 pts in career. So yeah, you can keep your narrative going
Chief Sosa then the next szn b4 Mj came back the bulls were only 3 games over 500 and then when he came back they went 13-4. That first year without him they had a lot to prove plus they still had Horace, Bj Armstrong and added kukoc, Kerr, And longley who became role players for the next three point
@@salvadorperez9980 You sound stupid for that. Lebron left bc he needed to. He played with scrubs for 7 yrs. If he had not left, then the Cavs wouldve never got Kyrie 1st round. Plus whats wrong with learning how to win and what it takes to win when you dont have the blueprint around you. Jordan had that since College. Lebron had to learn from rookie coaches and Gms. Lol. His staff would not get him help his first 7 yrs. No one wanted to play with Cleveland or live in Cleveland. So he had to go. Hes better for it as well.
@@pmontyjaaaymes488 This excuse is lame. it's like saying 'he didn't like himself'. I mean it was a decision that he had to make and it's part of himself. Afterall, he benefited from it right? he just surpassed MJ on the all time scoring list. So why cry about not going through college and all that stuff. had he not played early in the NBA, he would still have been chasing MJ on the scoring list. So which is which? I don't think Lebron will acquire MJ's grip on leadership. The Last Dance shows it. I don't think Lebron could stand Dennis Rodman and all the drama that menaced the Bulls.. And how MJ convinced Pippen to stay despite how the latter was underpaid and wanted to be traded.... THAT IS LEADERSHIP. MJ might even have secretly given Pippen out some of his paycheck--just surmising. Btw, Have you watched the last dance? Do you think Lebron fanboys would still cry about the switch argument? hahaha. I don't know what Nick Wright would have to say. And that ..... Colin The HErd? He just switched sides. Just a thought, Lebron left DWade and Bosh when they could still have won in MIami. The Bulls were 1-2 as the oldest team when they last 3peated. Imagine that! Jordan held them for history! Lebron was busy leaving because nobody could pacify his tantrums!
Jason Carson aye bro, I respect your opinion but I think Lebron would dominate any era. I believe if he played on a team and efficient as Michael Jordans Bulls he would currently have multiple championships. 🤷🏿♂️
Linda Is pretty so MJ lost in the first round his first couple years... who did he play against? Played against great teams. Lebron didn’t even play in playoffs his first couple years lol.
Wait one dam minute. I've told you I've seen all the great being 71 years old. Michael Jordan is the most exciting player ever period. Chuck Daly said he's so good he embarrassing the league.
True. Duncan is 2-1 versus Lebron. One sweep and one by record margin. That old Spurs team had no business beating that stacked Heat team. Duncan was 37, Parker 32, Manu 37, Kawhi 22. Plus had a more consistent career as far as making the playoffs and being contenders & doing it w/o two stars like Lebron. Lebron has missed the playoffs 4 times I believe.
This such a stupid take. Duncan was blessed to be apart of great management and a winning culture (won a title in his sophomore season). If Duncan and Lebron swapped paths then obviously the odds would be in Lebron's favor. Stop acting like Duncan has done more for the game than Lebron.
Let me explain to americans: Michael Jordan His Royal Airness captured the attention of the entire world i could not look away i didnt even played basketball as a latin i played and loved soccer i remember beeing with my friends playing soccer looking at the watch just to leave in time to go and watch every game of the post season it was the same for everybody next day we will talk about everything he did they almost got him but how like in all great movies at the end he did it he overcame great odds great rivals and he gave the movie moments everynight he didnt always win but you knew that if he was playing it was going to happen What --> it was going to happen: something awsome something cool something smooth something magical something we never seen before and at the end it was going to be that number 23 suspended in the air timelessly cutting trough space and time forever and we never saw anything like that again not like him and im not talking basketball im talking every sport stop trying to make this thing a debate it is not not even close
soccer? there is no such thing as soccer... Its called football (as like 99% of the world calls it - and everyone that loves it calls it), any other football is a stolen name.
Man, you spoke like the best commentator ever. You said it with passion and you made it feel like I was reliving the pass. Great explanation. Let just stop bringing this conversation up. Let MJ be the God he is in the basketball world. Thanks bro. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
MJ GOAT! But always amazing how Larry Bird gets completely forgotten about when going through the other names on the list following behind and certainly when the term leadership is mentioned!
Come on I’ve never seen lebron get in someone’s face when the opponent did something to one of his teammates. MJ did that for his teammates during battles to anyone and that let his team know he had they’re back and will go to war for them, that’s leadership. Lebron walks away from things like that.
I love Bron, big fan since 2000, back when he was in school. He is the second greatest player ever. MJ is the real and only GOAT. MJ dominance, consistency and killer mentality was in another level.
It's personal with Jay. He was drafted in Chicago and MJ played with the Wizards at that time. MJ probably trashed talked him when they played against each other.
Cavs had their chances but they dont get the pieces ...what do you expect him to do?the owner dont want to spend his money...the only wrong thing he does is the decision...but he return and finally deliver his promise...bitter sweet
@@TheGrandChieftain If we go back and look. Tim Duncan was a system player. Kobe would be interesting on that team. I would think Kobe could lead them to the finals. He might even steal a game and get a gentleman's sweep.
Thank you Jalen for making the point that Lebron still has to pass other great players other than MJ. Lebron is a phenomenal athlete and he has such amazing control over a game... a 6' 8' 260 pound point-power forward I mean he is amazing. But he has gone missing in big games; that's the problem.
Yup I think Kobe's career was better then Lebron's too. The day they got Pau Gasol I told my buddy he's going to win another championship. I knew what lvl Kobe was playing at back then, him and Jordan only needed one other star to dominate the league.
Cause people know MJ23 is the ultimate standard and folks who didn't grow up in that era want their own Goat...so they trying to make one with LeBron. LeBron has to first beat Tom Brady.
They’re saying Lebrons leadership skill does that include walking off after playoff eliminations without showing good sportsmanship?? What about Leaving a Cleveland team to go to Miami or Sitting separate from a team when he was just on the Lakers? Or how about not Encouraging J.R. Smith when he made a mistake in the playoffs is that Leadership??
Why would he encourage J.R.?? Lol... J.R. is a grown man. He shouldve known the time on the clock. Thats on J.R. Lebron is not a leader?? Then why is it that every player thats played with him, looks up to him. Why dont you go ask the Bad Boy Pistons part2 about that. Ask the Warriors. They needed KD. 73-9 team needed another Super star in KD. They couldnt beat LBJ after losing that 3-1 lead. They knew it was over if they didnt get a guy like KD. Yall can say what you want but Jordan wasnt playing against 7footers who could step out and shoot the 3. 7foot hybrids who could run the court with him. Plus he drove the ball against a bunch of slow guards in the 90s. Johns stockton, Greg Elobe. Byron Russell guarded him ok and so did G Payton. 90s was physical yes. But that was some fouling as b.s. back in the 90s. Then say the league is soft bc they call a foul a foul? Could Jordan guard without hand checking in todays game?
pmonty jaaaymes - I’m with you. He actually elongated JR’s career when no other team wanted a trade with NY. He basically told Cleveland organization to bring him and Shumpert. JR has attitude issues other teams in the league are not willing to deal with. He owes LeBron big time
I think these are the main reasons why you can't just automatically throw LeBron up there as GOAT. Like, I've never seen/heard of a GOAT type player act like that before. Quitting on the team? Nah. Huge L

What lol? Lebron is by far more consistently great he went to 8 straight finals.... mj consistently couldn’t get past the first round without pippen and the rest of his all time team.
Khadim Diop he’s got to 9. You clearly don’t know facts which is why your opinion is blasphemy.
Khadim Diop in what world is it better to not even make it to the finals than make it to the finals and lose? Please explain
BriBriBros well LeBron couldn’t win a chip without wade and bosh, and then kryie and love. Smfh I hate when people say “OH jordan couldn’t win without Scottie”
Khadim Diop Mj would’ve got swept in 2018 lol
Finally. When did LeBron jump everyone else to be debated against MJ. Only young folks who never saw the others play.
The only goat debate is Jordan vs Lebron everyone else in the way
Ummm Lebron James is practically top ten in almost every statistic, what do you mean when did Lebron jump over everyone else? Do you not pay attention to the NBA?
Lebron got outplayed by Kawhi and KD in the finals. Never has that been Kobe.
GNB Lebron couldn’t stop Kawhi. Kawhi could stop Lebron. And he left the game. Never ever would that happen to Kobe or Jordan. He’s not a killer and you know it. You know it was Kyrie with the jumper that was the killer. Just like it was Ray Allen in Miami. Lebron is great just not a killer. I’m a lakers fan I wanna be wrong lol.
D Thomas you watched wizard Mj or 1996-1998 Mj not 1988-1993 Mj is clearly better than lebron
MJ has the killer instinct and made everyone around him better. Not to mention 6 for 6 titles. Just imagine if he didn’t leave for baseball. Or if the Bulls didn’t get broken up after 1998. That’s 8-10 titles easy. Insane.
Exactly
7 Guaranteed.
You're tripping. MJ is a terrible leader and teammate. Your points are straight up backwards, cause MJ needed a support cast of yay sayers, he assaulted them and threw hissy fits when that perfectly assembled roster didn't perform to his liking. (while LBJ both carries and conducts his teams like few before) Also they didn't get worse when he retired lol (contrary to LBJ) he came back and they got kicked out with him in the first round of '95 playoffs, so your argument is a joke. MJ didn't get past real opposition till he was in his prime with a perfect team build around him and his opposition was washed up...
@@octopus8420 Lebron came back from a 3-1 deposit against the greatest regular season team in NBA history. That's goat status in my eyes. Let's also not forget that Jordan had Pippen and Rodman.
Just imagine if kyrie and Kevin love didn't get hurt and kd joined the warriors... no point in imaging cuz it happened
For those who didn't live through that time, there was a special feeling watching Jordan play even if you weren't a Bulls fan. Nobody has had that aura since. Maybe Steph Curry to a degree when he was hitting all those 3's that one year a few years ago but nothing like Jordan during his time. He was something something special to watch and never disappointed.
There was no debate about him as being #1!

People had heart attacks when Jordan got the ball in the fourth quarter i remember fans literally on edge
Not Detroit. He beat him up for 4 yrs straight. But unlike Lebron, MJ never had excuses, whined about it, softcast on his hand and let his fans played defense for him
Lebron bailed on all of his teams when he realized they weren’t good enough. How’s that leadership?
Great comment

How is being with a team combined for 11 years bailing out smh ? You dont think it takes leadership just to get to the finals 7 consecutive times on two different teams 8 in total apperances. You dont get to the finals that many times without leadership.

Lebron personally formed super teams. Jordan won with what was given to him. No debate. Jordan is the GOAT

@Sarthak Kaushik Agree with you. Too many young spectators havent done their homework on the impact previous players (MJ, Kareem,Wilt) would have on today's game. Absolute domination. Even comparing how Magic lead the offence and his passing abilities. He would embarrass bron. It really is too bad that a time machine couldnt place a player like lebron in a challenging era of days past. He would be a good player but definitely not dominate. He's too uncoordinated to excel back then. Not smooth in his movements at all. He has the previous era to thank and was fortunate to thrive in the soft era he played in. I've seen some young fans post vlogs lately and nice to see they have their eyes open as to how much better previous eras were.
@@ronenmaimon2285 you mean a Scottie Pippen who averaged 7.9ppg as a rookie, or Phil Jackson a 1st time Head Coach who no one knew of? Great Coaches need Great Players and vice versa but Lebron keeps jumping teams he doesn't stay long enough.

smarter coaches and smarter players... people never think about schemes they developed to beat someone... jordan doesnt win 6-0 in this era im sorry no one does... unless its like a big 3 thats crazy dominate
each of the 3.... end of conversation.....
Jordan left after each 3 and after he came back in 95 and knew he couldn't win he asked for rodman's help. You forget Jordan had one of the best two way players in the league who took on most of his tough defensive assignments, arguably the best rebounder all time and great defender, hof coach with a hof system, arguably the greatest gm of all time, and one of the best benches all time but you get mad at bron for going to Miami for a little help or coming back to Cleveland for the same amount of help
@@j2tyme285 get your facts straight. Mj was a defensive player of the year. Pippen is great talent but without Mj's leadership he probably wouldn't be who he is. As far as rodman, he's a great piece but not rodman of the pistons. Phil became gr8 after the first 3. Lebron had more talent around him in Miami and Cleveland but only won 3. So nobody is mad when lebron accomplishes less with more talents (all stars) on his team
when someone passes Jordan as the GOAT, no one will have to dispute it - we will ALL know.
Unfortunately thats not true. The die hard Jordan fans will always say he's the best no matter what. If another 6'6 player came in with handles like Kyrie, a shot like Curry, explosiveness like Russ, Bounce like Lavine and the drive of Kobe and Jordan combined all while averaging 60 a game Jordan fans would say Jordan would've averaged 61

the fact that his MJ is always mentioned in the GOAT debate after 20 years just shows you who is the GOAT
The players on the Bulls weren't worried about having to answer to Phil Jackson if they messed up or simply didn't perform, they were worried about having to answer to Michael Jordan. And that wasn't just in games, it was during their practices as well. MJ probably would have punched JR Smith in the face during that game 1 finals loss. 😂
That’s the difference between MJ and LBJ. MJ would’ve definitely got in the face of JR, LBJ got passive aggressive like he usually does and used him as an excuse for him losing.

@@SuperDetroit9 thank you

When you're having to constantly make excuses for one player while the other one hardly has any faults on the resume, then it's quite obvious who is the GOAT while the other is media fabricated. Good for coffee talk. All it is really.
That’s a fact
Right!! That's always i say! Two great players! Of course their resume are good.. it's the flaws we're gotta look for.
What you mean no excuses? WHY DIDN'T JORDAN EVER WIN ANYTHING WITHOUT PIPPEN OR JACKSON? Ever. I mean even after he came back from retirement he STILL couldn't win.
MJ also had so many faults and the same things we accuse LeBron of we can access MJ of similar things. Look at the relationship between management and the players. My question is why are people so biased when talking about MJ? I'm MJ fan but Jesus MJ played golf with opponents the day before a playoff game? LeBron would've been buried if he had done that and lost the game. MJ was a bad leader but great player and we don't have to lie to make him perfect.
Regardless of what kind of people they are Jordan fans pretend like he just played 6 seasons and left. The years before 91 and Wizard years count too. LeBron is in the MVP conversation and playing for the #1 seed (in “tougher” West) in year 17.
Steve Kerr, can anyone tell me what team he played before Bulls? Jordan made Kerr a household name, and then Kerr became GM, now head coach for Warriors; without MJ, there is no Kerr, and no Warriors dynasty
MJ kept a running tally of all the centers in the league that he DUNKED on! Come on! His competitiveness was unbelievable! He made it his business to let the league know he's here!
I just came back in my time machine from the year 2073 and Michael air Jordan remains the great to ever play the game.

Uncle BobMarley that wasn’t funny. He’s the goat because he as 10 final appearances and is about to win his 4 ring. has the most all nba teams of all time. 1 in playoff points.
1. in steals in playoffs. 2. in triple doubles. He also has the most games win in the playoffs and he hadn’t even played the most playoff games. He’s also the first person to average a triple double in the finals and lead both teams in every major caterogory in the finals. he is also 3rd in all time assists in the playoffs. 2 in 3 pointers made. he’s number 2 in all time points in the finals, also 2 in all time 3 pointers made in the finals, and number 2 in all time assist in the finals, number 2 in all time steals in the finals 5th in total rebounds in the finals and 7 in total blocks in the finals. honestly this guy is a all around freak! he will most likely surpass kareem in all time points in the pace he is moving in. and the crazy thing is scoring isn’t his best ability. that’s not who he is. is it a big part of it ? yes but it isn’t his biggest move in his bag. it’s his passing and play making iq. when Lebron is on the court in these game with the lakers it’s like he’s coaching to be honest. When he is on the floor most of the assists come from him wither he gets the assist or he makes the play that leads to a pass to assist. and this guy is gonna he the all time leading scorer of all time?? lebron will most likely win finals mvp. making him the first player to win finals mvp on three different teams. this man lebron is the most durable NBA player of all time and the most durable one that is out right now. tom brady is the only one i can think of more durable then him. LeBron being such a all around player makes him my GOAT. if you disagree go ahead. but i will say another thing i don’t want to hear “ LeBron had a cakewalk to the finals” The clippers were severerd the same cake. and just maybe if they actually took this seriously and didn’t load management they could’ve been the 1st seed. it’s not the lakers fault the bucks and Clippers didn’t make it, or the raptors and celtics.

Plus whats wrong with learning how to win and what it takes to win when you dont have the blueprint around you. Jordan had that since College. Lebron had to learn from rookie coaches and Gms. Lol. His staff would not get him help his first 7 yrs. No one wanted to play with Cleveland or live in Cleveland. So he had to go. Hes better for it as well.
@@pmontyjaaaymes488 This excuse is lame. it's like saying 'he didn't like himself'. I mean it was a decision that he had to make and it's part of himself. Afterall, he benefited from it right? he just surpassed MJ on the all time scoring list. So why cry about not going through college and all that stuff. had he not played early in the NBA, he would still have been chasing MJ on the scoring list. So which is which? I don't think Lebron will acquire MJ's grip on leadership. The Last Dance shows it. I don't think Lebron could stand Dennis Rodman and all the drama that menaced the Bulls.. And how MJ convinced Pippen to stay despite how the latter was underpaid and wanted to be traded.... THAT IS LEADERSHIP. MJ might even have secretly given Pippen out some of his paycheck--just surmising. Btw, Have you watched the last dance? Do you think Lebron fanboys would still cry about the switch argument? hahaha. I don't know what Nick Wright would have to say. And that ..... Colin The HErd? He just switched sides.
Just a thought, Lebron left DWade and Bosh when they could still have won in MIami. The Bulls were 1-2 as the oldest team when they last 3peated. Imagine that! Jordan held them for history! Lebron was busy leaving because nobody could pacify his tantrums!
pmonty jaaaymes lmfaoo you’re funny
They Changed the subject real quick when Jalen reminded Them he had to go to miami to learn.
ALL FACTS! Salute Jalen
"Different stroke for different folk?" whacchu talking about willis?
What chu talkin about J Williams.. lol he was the sensitive guy of his era.. stop yelling at me MJ.. lol
😂😂😂😂😂
I’m Glad Jalen Acknowledged Other Great Players That Are Actually Better Than LeBron.
Jeremy Stevens yeah but he left out Bird and Kobe lol
@@jonathanoverfelt6328 lol Bird and Kobe aren't better than Lebron. Especially Bird.
lol
Cody Hammond Um, yes they are. How can you not see it?
@@MasterKeyMagic only kids think lebron is the greatest
Magic is my favorite but larry bird always gets underated.
Larry said Jordan was a God disguised as Michael Jordan.
Magic WAS my favorite too. Now it's KOBE. But I have BIRD>MAGIC.
Just a bunch of emotional dudes mad LeBron isn't as good as Jordan
TheUndefeatedOfTheEast fax
Cos he’s better
@@realguru4924 saying that is like saying that Magic Johnson's son likes women....just ain't true.
Jason Carson aye bro, I respect your opinion but I think Lebron would dominate any era. I believe if he played on a team and efficient as Michael Jordans Bulls he would currently have multiple championships. 🤷🏿♂️
Better basketball player
Jordan: I want you to play at your highest level
LeBron: I'm going to South Beach
Annnddd...Trade away Wigging, Ball, Ingram, Hart, and a host of other moves so I have the right pieces around me.
I am a Lebron fan and love his dominance, power, passing, dunking, but just can't have him above Jordan..the winning in the finals matters
The losing in first round is matter too you should be fair
Bill Russell > Jordan
XxANMxX ‘ nah. His competition was minimal. I know it’s not his fault but you have to factor that
Linda Is pretty so MJ lost in the first round his first couple years... who did he play against? Played against great teams. Lebron didn’t even play in playoffs his first couple years lol.
@@rochambeau2111 so why did Lebron lose to a far worse team than his? Remember Dallas Mavericks? Meltdown should be factored too!
Wait one dam minute. I've told you I've seen all the great being 71 years old.
Michael Jordan is the most exciting player ever period.
Chuck Daly said he's so good he embarrassing the league.
Lebron hasn’t even passed Tim Duncan yet... tfo with Lebron
Manu El-Ocho seriously
@@ADifferentVibe yep
True. Duncan is 2-1 versus Lebron. One sweep and one by record margin. That old Spurs team had no business beating that stacked Heat team. Duncan was 37, Parker 32, Manu 37, Kawhi 22. Plus had a more consistent career as far as making the playoffs and being contenders & doing it w/o two stars like Lebron. Lebron has missed the playoffs 4 times I believe.
That to without switching teams for championships
This such a stupid take. Duncan was blessed to be apart of great management and a winning culture (won a title in his sophomore season). If Duncan and Lebron swapped paths then obviously the odds would be in Lebron's favor. Stop acting like Duncan has done more for the game than Lebron.
Let me explain to americans: Michael Jordan His Royal Airness captured the attention of the entire world i could not look away i didnt even played basketball as a latin i played and loved soccer i remember beeing with my friends playing soccer looking at the watch just to leave in time to go and watch every game of the post season it was the same for everybody next day we will talk about everything he did they almost got him but how like in all great movies at the end he did it he overcame great odds great rivals and he gave the movie moments everynight he didnt always win but you knew that if he was playing it was going to happen What --> it was going to happen: something awsome something cool something smooth something magical something we never seen before and at the end it was going to be that number 23 suspended in the air timelessly cutting trough space and time forever and we never saw anything like that again not like him and im not talking basketball im talking every sport stop trying to make this thing a debate it is not not even close
soccer? there is no such thing as soccer... Its called football (as like 99% of the world calls it - and everyone that loves it calls it), any other football is a stolen name.
Nailed it.
Man, you spoke like the best commentator ever. You said it with passion and you made it feel like I was reliving the pass. Great explanation. Let just stop bringing this conversation up. Let MJ be the God he is in the basketball world. Thanks bro. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
@@T0ffik1 you are right but like i said i was explaining to americans and thats how they call it...
Facts . Don’t even explain yourself more . U exactly right
Jalen is always Honest 💯
MJ GOAT! But always amazing how Larry Bird gets completely forgotten about when going through the other names on the list following behind and certainly when the term leadership is mentioned!
Only 3 titles with a great supporting cast. So-so defender. Hampered by that back injury and therefore a relatively few peak years.
I think Larry Bird was better than Magic
Come on I’ve never seen lebron get in someone’s face when the opponent did something to one of his teammates. MJ did that for his teammates during battles to anyone and that let his team know he had they’re back and will go to war for them, that’s leadership. Lebron walks away from things like that.
Thank you for having common sense
Nah bro lechoke flops instead of confronting them....if he does he picks on the weaker guys...
@@SuperBlueangel17 nah bro Lebum would call the refs to kick an audience out because they think he sucks (instead of proving that he doesn’t) 😂
Basically you’re saying LeBron didn’t have anger issues and MJ did.
What have these guys been smoking?? MJ is the GOAT....PERIOD!!! ABSOLUTELY NO DEBATE SHOULD BE TAKING PLACE ANYWHERE
Coulicool
Preach! MJ GOAT all day every day!
@@furiesforums4862(Coulicool
really leadership? you dont even know when hes leaving or trade you.
Pat Riley retired Jordan's #23. And said "no Miami player will ever wear #23 again".
100 years from now they still gonna be comparing Jordan with some future kid, and they won't even mention the rest
There might be the next.... Usually always is, but LeBron ain't it folks.
I love Bron, big fan since 2000, back when he was in school. He is the second greatest player ever. MJ is the real and only GOAT. MJ dominance, consistency and killer mentality was in another level.
I'm a LeBron and Jordan fan as well. I don't understand why so many people feel the need to have to pick one over the other.

I’ll take Kobe second all day long
@@peacetalk3645 ok
Jay Williams is tripping with this all out nonsense.
J-will is a Lequeen cheer leader! Lol
It's personal with Jay. He was drafted in Chicago and MJ played with the Wizards at that time. MJ probably trashed talked him when they played against each other.
J Rose just killed everybody with the James going to Heat to learn how to win!!!
LBJ was not the leader when he left cavs to get a title .. he was the Durant there
Cavs had their chances but they dont get the pieces ...what do you expect him to do?the owner dont want to spend his money...the only wrong thing he does is the decision...but he return and finally deliver his promise...bitter sweet
This generation has lowered the criteria for greatness. Lebron even knows he's no Mike. He's NOT even better Tim Duncan or Kobe.
I fully agree. Kobe better than LeBron . Jordan is better than both.
Replace LeBron with Duncan or Kobe in 2006-2007. They're not getting to the Finals.
@@TheGrandChieftain If we go back and look. Tim Duncan was a system player. Kobe would be interesting on that team. I would think Kobe could lead them to the finals. He might even steal a game and get a gentleman's sweep.
TheGrandChieftain if Kobe played in da east he would went to the finals just as much as Lebron
TheGrandChieftain Replace Duncan with Lebron in their 5 Spurs title teams and they don’t win all 5.
Lebron, a good leader. The same guy who gives up on his team every couple of years. And pushes all the blame on his teammates. What a joke
Jordan is the best end of conversation.
Thank you Jalen for making the point that Lebron still has to pass other great players other than MJ. Lebron is a phenomenal athlete and he has such amazing control over a game... a 6' 8' 260 pound point-power forward I mean he is amazing. But he has gone missing in big games; that's the problem.
Mark Anthony 2nd greatest small forward.
@Mark Anthony so you're telling me he's better than the all time leading scorer with 6 rings?
Thats not even MJ.
They got jay will on the show because even dummies need representation.
6 for 6 vs 3 for 9
What is there to talk about?
BETTER ALL AROUND PLAYER ......NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT
@Marcus Schultz 11 rings in a league with 8 teams 😂 u BIG Dummy..goats win more than they lose! U have terrible standards marcus
@Marcus Schultz in a 8 team league
That reaching the finals 9 times is better than 6 times?!
@@mr.r1622 LeBron is such a better all around player he averages 1.2 more assists and 2.1 more rebounds AND LOSES MORE. Winning > empty stats.
Jalen always out here fighting the good fight.
The late Kobe Bryant was the next best thing to Jordan
The disrespect to Kobe is real!! Kobe vs Mj is the real debate!
Kobe is and will be the king off LA... And will always be better than laqueen
Yup I think Kobe's career was better then Lebron's too. The day they got Pau Gasol I told my buddy he's going to win another championship. I knew what lvl Kobe was playing at back then, him and Jordan only needed one other star to dominate the league.
Khue Lor I think Kobe is better than Lebron but MJ is greater than all.
I agree but I think magic is better then lebron as well ( wait nvm they talk about it in the video)
When MJ gets passed by anyone as the GOAT, there would be no need for debate, cause we'll all know.
Some player could literally win 10 out of 15 in the course of 20 years and people would still say MJ is better. Lol stupid comment
Octopus 8 Some player can go 3-6 in the Finals and we still will say MJ is better. Don’t get mad at facts!

Cause people know MJ23 is the ultimate standard and folks who didn't grow up in that era want their own Goat...so they trying to make one with LeBron. LeBron has to first beat Tom Brady.
MICHAEL Jordan is the one and only G.O.A.T
They’re saying Lebrons leadership skill does that include walking off after playoff eliminations without showing good sportsmanship?? What about Leaving a Cleveland team to go to Miami or Sitting separate from a team when he was just on the Lakers? Or how about not Encouraging J.R. Smith when he made a mistake in the playoffs is that Leadership??
Heres my opinion ..l.. ..l..
Why would he encourage J.R.?? Lol... J.R. is a grown man. He shouldve known the time on the clock. Thats on J.R. Lebron is not a leader?? Then why is it that every player thats played with him, looks up to him. Why dont you go ask the Bad Boy Pistons part2 about that. Ask the Warriors. They needed KD. 73-9 team needed another Super star in KD. They couldnt beat LBJ after losing that 3-1 lead. They knew it was over if they didnt get a guy like KD. Yall can say what you want but Jordan wasnt playing against 7footers who could step out and shoot the 3. 7foot hybrids who could run the court with him. Plus he drove the ball against a bunch of slow guards in the 90s. Johns stockton, Greg Elobe. Byron Russell guarded him ok and so did G Payton. 90s was physical yes. But that was some fouling as b.s. back in the 90s. Then say the league is soft bc they call a foul a foul? Could Jordan guard without hand checking in todays game?
pmonty jaaaymes - I’m with you. He actually elongated JR’s career when no other team wanted a trade with NY. He basically told Cleveland organization to bring him and Shumpert. JR has attitude issues other teams in the league are not willing to deal with. He owes LeBron big time
I think these are the main reasons why you can't just automatically throw LeBron up there as GOAT. Like, I've never seen/heard of a GOAT type player act like that before. Quitting on the team? Nah. Huge L
What about shooting a left handed free throw in an elimination game.
Jalen has 81 reasons to have Kobe Bean on his Mount Rushmore
Najib Ahmed that commercial with jalen and Kobe is gold.
One game does not make a career.

"He quit!"

@@gammabootyhairs is it quitting no matter wat , lebron is better in around game while mj is better in scoring
