zax the hooper Nah he aint. He was temporary greatness in his own time as well then. Him playing it in that era doesnt mean he would be with 6 chips now. The NBA is more competitive these days. Those days are over when a same team would win 3-4 years in a row. You say LeBron is temporary greatness in his own time. Its same for Michael. LeBron didnt play in MJ’s era. MJ didn’t play in LeBron’s era. I can bet he wouldve won fewer rings these times when powers are more equaled out. Not to mention I like to see more person achievements and not chips, cause chip is greatness of a team. Stats are greatness of a player.
zax the hooper Dude. Get that in your typical jordansexual thick skull. You cant win a chip if your teammates are not up to it no matter how good you are. These guys only won cause they had capable teammates as their back up. Take into consideration Cleveland Cavaliers loss in game 1 of 2018 NBA Finals. They had the game tied. Hill couldnt make 2nd free throw and once JR Smith caught the ball he couldnt do a simple thing as to pass the ball to LeBron, who was free, but instead ruined it with a dumbheaded play and passed the ball to a guy, defended in a corner, who had no way of making the shot. And then the cavs lost the game after LeBron put up 51 POINTS in the game, not to mention other aspects. How was that his problem? He played good in all his Finals that he had, its the teammates that needed to step up and just play the damn game like they have to. Oh and dont go into chips define greatness of a player, because you might as well proclaim Bill Russell as the goat instead of MJ if you go into that. Just saying. Might as well be on a winning team, but that doesnt make me greatest if aint that good. Stats are the thing that matters. The chip is a result of teamwork, team morale and chemistry, how they play together and stuff. Typical people, who barely play any basketball think one guy can get a championship. Thats very wrong thinking. Also if LeBron is such a loser he wouldve not pulled out 3-1 comback block save at game 7.
c'mon guy and did you won'tell your kids about MJ?? the original 23??the man that fly in the air and conquest six rings???MICHEL JORDAN...THE BEST OF THE HISTORY
MJ's balls hadn't even dropped by the age of 22... so to say... when comparing careers to LJ at that age... MJ is still my goat pick though but LJ is a very close 2nd and only because MJ had a better career in terms of winning rings and accolades. LJ is just as good when compared as an all around player.
Yea and faced bumass teams to get there also he played the damn pistons without there best player at the time Ben Wallace. No hate but don’t act like he just beat great teams now
Dude was TWENTY-TWO carrying a team to the Finals. And when he failed, against an ultra-experienced god squad of Spurs players, they were saying shit like "he'll never win a championship." How the hell do you jump to that conclusion? I'd be like, "My God, a 22 year old just dragged this shit team to the fucking Finals"
Took Jordan 6 playoffs to reach the finals (narrative is he didn’t have to learn how to be a winner) took bron 2 playoffs and his narrative is he had to go to Miami to learn how to win. He destroyed the pistons dynasty at 22 years old, but I guess he didn’t know how to win.

I am so sick of this fraud. This hype...listening to the announcers through the years talk about this guy...these announcers are on the NBA's payroll. They tried to make LeBron the NBA poster boy...they called him a King as a rookie...only the ignorant masses have bought in. Lebron James is good...Right now as it stands...he has the same career averages and championships as Larry Bird. The difference between him and Larry is that...Larry Bird was a killer....Lebron James has been on and off steroids his entire career. He has been the number 1 option his entire career and has had enjoyed the benefits of the NBA refs and advertising machine. Lebron James has 3 championships...all of them came on super teams...and one of them has a betting/gambling scandal attached. Lebron has only managed 3 rings on super teams...hes never won without TWO OTHER SUPER STARS. TWO. Lebron has been swept out of the finals TWICE being dominated at the highest level. Lebron lost an Olympic gold medal...until Kobe came to lead the team and they won. Lebron James bounced on his home town team and fans TWICE. Lebron promised to be in the dunk contest...and the dude never did it...a dunk contest for the fans because...the NBA isn't just basketball...its basketball entertainment. The fact that he didn't even compete in the dunk contest says a lot. If the hype on Lebron was real...he would have done things we couldn't imagine. Westbrook averaged a triple double...a guy who is half the size of Lebron...everyone talks about his size...everyone talks about his scoring rebounding and passing...none of that translates...none of that makes him the best. Lebron has been padding his stats his entire career. The only thing you can say is that...because of the steroids and modern day technology...he may play for another 10 years and own all the records. That doesn't mean anything. I don't feel Lebron has passed Larry Bird...let alone any all time Laker starting 5. Michael Jordan is the GOAT. Kobe is the best to ever do it. Then you got Kareem...Magic...Bill Russell...Shaq...Tim Duncan...Paul Pierce...John Stockton...Scottie Pippen...the list goes on and on...Stop with the bs. Its over. Lebron was a hype job.
Johnny White III when Jordan retired it was never the same too. Not a bad thing the nba has to progress. From Russ’s dominating era to magic and Larry’s rivalry to Kareem’s sky hook to the bull’s era to curry’s perfect three point shot the nba will progress so we could tell our kids about Lebron
Dread Walker Wha-? It will be better when he will leave? Better because of him but still better? Man do you even understand yourself what you meant by that?
I AGREE!! IMAO, MIAMI DID NOT HAVE A STACKED TEAM LIKE THE WARRIORS HAD WHEN KD WENT TO THE WARRIORS, THEREFORE IT WAS A DIFFERENT MOVE FOR LEBRON THAN KD. LEBRON HAS A REAL 1ST RING WHEREAS KD's ring is zirconium!!
@@bangbang7903 lol here you go haters go again, KDs move was considered the weakest as Lebron leave Cleveland because the GM itself are the worst management in the NBA history, Lebron is a generatuonal player but what they did? They didnt provide him help and messed up their trades, thats why he left as a FREE AGENT and joined his friend Wade in Heat, which is a team whos only top 10 before he joined and not a championship or playoff contender, while on the other hand, KD left OKC which is a championship contender team, joining his enemy who they blew a 3-1 lead in the playoffs the previous season! What a snake!
"Even if he is successful there is going to be those who say well he didn't do this he didn't do that" wow 18 years later and people really be saying that about James.
"I'm convinced LeBron James will never win" 2007. Rob Parker and Skip Bayless already hating on LeBron and making a dumb fool of themselves. 2019. They haven't changed one bit.
Straight outta high school with all that pressure & all those expectations. Never had a great coach ever in his career, and still continues to deliver. The greatest to ever do it.
Being a Cleveland sports fan we all know Pain, Agony, and Blues: The Drive The Fumble Michael Jordan Thank God LBJ brought a title to The Land in 2016. I'm good. Peace.
This man dunk my interest in basketball, the first time I saw him play thats it... Since then I've been watching him play. And tried playing basketball too. 😍 I'm a loyal fan of his.
I can only imagine what records he would have destroyed if he went to college, He’s a legend came from the dirt and got himself to the top, at this point the rings don’t matter anymore because like he said I’m not suppose to be here and destroyed the league for almost 2 decades now and became a 3 time champion, I’m giving him 2 more titles and he will be the first player to ever to win multi championships in different conference east and west coast being the main player on his team.
I get goosebumps every time at 24:41 lebron standing there like yeah I’m here. Most feared man on that court! You know everyone on the warriors felt his presence and even the audience felt it, hell I even felt it through the TV.
Big thanks to the editors! But the most thanks is to you Lebron. Thank you for the history you gave us to watch and enjoy. Just to be in conversation with MJ… You’ve done something. Thanks again Lebron
This fricking thing made me cry man. I don't care what anybody says but this guy here is the GOAT. His roads weren't easy at all but he is doing what nobody does.
Love him or hate him.. Lebron is a GREAT basketball player.. what he accomplished in basketball is not a joke, regardless of Jordan, kobe and other greats.
I don't have any interest watching basketball until I saw him in the 2012 finals in my neighbor's TV 😅 , from then I'm a big fan til now . NBA will never be the same when he retires .
Literally I takes a lot of luck to be a champion. LeBron has had some good luck on his side but the bad luck outweighs the good. Still he never changed who he was, still he faced the challenges with all his might & power. Yes he has lost 6 times in the finals. These aren’t excuses but the man was subjected to being great and DELIVERING a championship or bust as a 22 year old. At 22 MJ was finishing his last year in UNC. If anything goes to show you that winning championships takes a lot of luck along with hard work then it should be the golden state warriors. To some MJ may be the GOAT, LeBron will always & forever be my GOAT. A man winner is determined by the obstacles he faces, even if he loses all that matters is how you respond! How good was MJ? Most people will tell you, he’s as good as ever seeing a game 7 in the finals, or 6-0 in the NBA finals, or 5 MVPs & 10 scoring titles good. There are some key factors to take into account when looking at these 1 dimensional numbers like the difficulty of competition, or the amount of talent on your team, or injuries etc. Yes MJ has 10 scoring titles, but he also wasn’t going up against guards/forwards who can dribble, shoot from 30 & dunk it over a 7 footer like T Mac, Kobe, James Harden, KD, Russ, Steph, D Wade, Dame Lillard, Kawhi, PG13 & D Rose like LeBron had to face. It’s quite the contrary MJ was the ONLY guard who can dribble, shoot & dunk over you & lock you up as well. You see these type of player archetypes every 3 years it seems now. I don’t want to turn it into anMJ vs LeBron debate. To each it’s own but IMO it seems to me like MJ was at the right time in NBA history & with the perfect team in NBA history aligned his peak prime with the fall of the greats like Magic & Bird PERFECTLY enough. Without a doubt MJ proved he shows up in big moments, but let’s be honest so has LeBron but I also got to see LeBron retaliate after 2011, I’ve seen him TAKEOVER game 7s repeatedly. I’ve seen him fall & get back up. Just like MJ fans seen Ali fall & respond. Those type of things add character & subtle flaws to what everyone thinks is supposed to be a PERFECT canvas of a story. I hope & pray Bronny Jr is in route to following his dads footsteps & to see if he can 1 up his own fathers legacy on the court because off the court it may be impossible but on the court I’m excited to see if it’s possible. I hated LeBron when he left the Cavs not because I didn’t like him but because EVERYONE else hated him too. Now I’m writing 600 word comments under a LeBron RUclips video. If you read all this god bless you & continue to strive for your own greatness. LeBron isn’t just a basketball player he’s my idol & I’m forever grateful for him.
Kareem -was better than mj for 1....you hit alot of facts on the head that mj fans like to overlook.mj played against alot of scrubs and smaller guards and forwards..he had most trouble with taller guards .penny and Reggie to name a couple ..now's days guards and forwards are bigger faster stronger and better
nmb Memphis beast24 agreed I think mj had it made on winning chips lebron on the other hand he had it the hard way he had to vs the dynasty of Tim Duncan vs bron there was no one on that 2007 finals roster for cavs and he vs Golden state it had the 2 greatest 3 point shots the game has ever seen and in 2015 kyrie and love got hurt your 2nd best player was delidova in my eyes lebron is my goat
As someone who consistently writes similar multi paragraph comments on RUclips about bron, I love to see your angle of it. No hatred, or disrespect just your logical opinion. Everything you said is spot on and I have to double up and say to me what makes LeBron the goat and my idol as well is his ability to show his humanity. Mj was a robot, which is fine, but LeBron is a person. He feels real, like someone you could know, and he’s gone through trials and tribulations right in front of all our eyes. Although the Jordan fans forgot all his bad moments, Lebron’s have all been right smack in front of our eyes and the media will never let us forget them. But I respect the man to no end because I’ve never seen an athlete go up against so much and still be so successful time and time again. We can debate, throw out numbers, stories, and stat lines from finals games but the reality is that we all need to step back and appreciate. We all love sports. Jordan was great, LeBron is great, and there have been many many other greats that came before them. Let’s just appreciate all them, and all they do for us as basketball fans.
As a basketball fan, I am fortunate to witness the greatness and legacy of Lebron James. Basketball fans around the world will miss him once he's done playing in the NBA. Just appreciate his greatness on and off the court! He is truly one of the most humble greatest athletes of any sports!
Probably the sweetest moment in LbJ's career is the 2015-16 season, deliver his 'Promise' from a 'one for the books' historical 3-1 comeback in 'The FINALS'... that alone has been phenomenal... #JustAKidFromAkron #KingJames23
This was an extremely high quality video. I was getting emotional and I couldn't tell if that was from the clips of LeBron destroying my Celtics or watching the highs and lows of his career. Can't wait to see what you do in the future.
There has never been a player more scrutinized. He loses. They criticize. He wins. They make stuff up. I’m glad I got to watch him and Brady’s entire career!.
Kobe and Lebron played in the same era and Kobe had that superior will to win. Lebron may be more athletic but that's the only edge Lebron had over Kobe. As far as MJ is concerned the road still goes through Kobe first if Lebron wants that GOAT title.
@@sdawg4834 Lebron is a better scorer, better playmaker and more efficient shooter than Kobe. Not to mention he elevates his team to higher level then Kobe ever did. "Athletic" lol
Real basketball fans give credit to all but when MJ played it was a no holds bar type of game guy!!! the rules are not the same from the Era of MJ and Magic Johnson and Larry Bird and other Star players played!! Real Talk! you would get punch and choked and pushed while you was on a dunk intentionally to ruin your career!! and no one is gonna change that reality.. but at the end of the day Lebron is also one of the greats regardless! Enough Said!
as a basketball addict, i feel so blessed to be able to see Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki and Lebron James play at their peaks.
When did MJ defy these kind of odds ? If LeBron doesn't win anymore rings I'm good because he's already done enough for the league and countless other minorites.
@@KingLucky1211 MJ should be 6-0 playing against Utah and Seattle in the finals. Which team did MJ face in the finals was better than the Warriors or the Spurs that LeBron faced ? When did MJ get of the 1st round of the playoffs without Pippen ? I'm not even talking about getting to the finals. LeBron has dragged his teams year after year to the finals when Kyrie, Love, Wade and Bosh were hurt. I hope that I helped you with a little free education...
@@MrCrossdatracks Bruh, stop it. LBJ apologists like yourself do not know the talent Jordan faced in the finals because Jordan himself would not let any of those hall of fame players take the spotlight because that position was his. Do your homework bruh, half of the teams Jordan faced where better than Golden State, this is excluding KD but wait, The Warriors beat LBJ without KD. The Showtime Lakers, That Portland team that was stacked and yall so quick to say Jordan only beat the Pistons when they got old, naw bruh, Jordan losing to them got old, when MJ got his first chip, most of the Pistons including Isiah Thomas where in their prime. Lebron has cruised his way thru a weak ass conference for all those finals he appeared in playing with multiple all-stars at the same time. Now the biggest idiotic comment you LBJ dick riders bring up, when did Jordan face a team like the Warriors? Bruh these Warriors have only been around for how long? How long has LBJ been playing? Exactly! During the 90s nobody won anything unless you had on a Bulls Jersey or MJ was retired. One last comment, Jordan did struggle to make to his first chip because he had to go to war to make it happen and then what, 3 peat, gone for 2 years, comes back, 3 peat again. LBJ jumps ship and goes recruiting for his. Get you facts right lil man. 6-0 > 3-6!
Bellissimo video. lo guardo spesso e ogni volta mi fa venire i brividi, uno spettacolare tributo ad uno dei migliori Atleti che la storia abbia mai visto accompagnato dalle note di Hans Zimmer, Posso solo dire Grazie per questo video.
Great retrospective. Very emotional at the end. That game 7 against GS - really the entire series. A series they shouldn’t have had a chance to win. Lebron played so freaking amazingly well it’s almost a once in a lifetime thing to have seen. And I’m a huge Kobe fan. But that performance was legitimately for the ages.
I am 50 years old and I witness Michael Jordan but LeBron James is the best ever I have seen there will be no other player to come along in my lifetime hands down the best ever LBJ
as a kid growing up watching you until now it has been a pleasure watching you play the game u are the greatest player to ever play the game #LBJ🐐🔥💛💜 #StriveForGreatness #THEYWILLKNOWYOURNAME 👑👑👑👑
Lol nah pump yo brakes LbJ is unlike anything seen but not the goat physical tools don’t make you the greatest it’s winning nd demanding the ball in the clutch moments every time.
In 2009, it was my first time playing 2k9 with my friends, and to be honest about it, I never knew about NBA even when I was a kid in the 90's. I never knew how big Basketball was then until I was exposed to it in 2009. Since 2009, I have been watching Basketball, I witnessed how LeBron was able to do a lot for the Cavs but still he never won anything until he went to Miami. Now, that I am 35 years old, I am amazed on how LeBron was able to defy all criticisms against him; how he was able to silenced the haters, and still silencing them; and how he was able to make other NBA Players wonder especially on his longevity in the league and still be the best in it - it will always be a wonder. On his 20th year, he has surpassed a lot and has lived up to the hype since he was 18 years old. LeBron is just 4 years older than me and he has already lived his life doing what makes him happy and making others happy. Keep it up, Bron!
Epicness through the roof. I will never shake off how I thought the Cavs were DONE after Games 1 and 2 in 2016. They look so lost out there. Amazing content.

That doesn't mean anything. I don't feel Lebron has passed Larry Bird...let alone any all time Laker starting 5. Michael Jordan is the GOAT. Kobe is the best to ever do it. Then you got Kareem...Magic...Bill Russell...Shaq...Tim Duncan...Paul Pierce...John Stockton...Scottie Pippen...the list goes on and on...Stop with the bs. Its over. Lebron was a hype job.
who came after King James won his 4th rings as Lakers
me
Me
The GOAT
@lamont irvin LOL
@MUFC Only in America it's called soccer. We call it football
When LeBron leaves the NBA on top, the game will never be the same after.
It will be better. Better because of him though but still better.
Johnny White III when Jordan retired it was never the same too. Not a bad thing the nba has to progress. From Russ’s dominating era to magic and Larry’s rivalry to Kareem’s sky hook to the bull’s era to curry’s perfect three point shot the nba will progress so we could tell our kids about Lebron
Dread Walker Wha-? It will be better when he will leave? Better because of him but still better? Man do you even understand yourself what you meant by that?
Yeah I will wait for His Son
It’s gonna be crazy
I don't understand why they compare Zion to this guy. LeBron was, and is, on another planet.
U cant compere Zion with LeBron.. Why? Zion cant shoot, LeBron can shoot....
Exactly, it's not even close. I think the media just trying to make money like always
When Stephan A Smith said “it was the weakest move by superstar” that was for KD when he joined the Warriors 🤣😂🤣
I AGREE!! IMAO, MIAMI DID NOT HAVE A STACKED TEAM LIKE THE WARRIORS HAD WHEN KD WENT TO THE WARRIORS, THEREFORE IT WAS A DIFFERENT MOVE FOR LEBRON THAN KD. LEBRON HAS A REAL 1ST RING WHEREAS KD's ring is zirconium!!
True
LBJ started the Trend don't blame KD
@@bangbang7903 how about kg and the celtics? And shaq,kobe,payton and malone in the lakers?
@@bangbang7903 lol here you go haters go again, KDs move was considered the weakest as Lebron leave Cleveland because the GM itself are the worst management in the NBA history, Lebron is a generatuonal player but what they did? They didnt provide him help and messed up their trades, thats why he left as a FREE AGENT and joined his friend Wade in Heat, which is a team whos only top 10 before he joined and not a championship or playoff contender, while on the other hand, KD left OKC which is a championship contender team, joining his enemy who they blew a 3-1 lead in the playoffs the previous season! What a snake!
it's always the kid holding the sign 'Travelled from Akron to witness the Promise. All in' for me... gets me so emotional. Thank you King.
"Even if he is successful there is going to be those who say well he didn't do this he didn't do that" wow 18 years later and people really be saying that about James.
pure facts right here, its crazy that people still talk shit about LeBron. And i hope when he retires certain people will put some respect on his name
*When we say LeBron is a 🐐 we don't messed up or being crazy* 😭😭😭 what a *2016 championship* with CAVS, ya men He's greatest player💪🏿💪🏿
Bro defense that’s why mj is better
“Cleveland this is for you” gives me goosebumps every timee
"I'm convinced LeBron James will never win"
2007. Rob Parker and Skip Bayless already hating on LeBron and making a dumb fool of themselves.
2019. They haven't changed one bit.
Truth
@RECRUIT MASTER cry boi! Can't handle the king greatness? All you can you is cry boi
7 years without a championship and u expect him to stay? One man can't win a championship
@RECRUIT MASTER go cry🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was the best edited video i have ever watched about someone's career...props to the people who made this video💯🙌
Straight outta high school with all that pressure & all those expectations. Never had a great coach ever in his career, and still continues to deliver. The greatest to ever do it.
He had spoelstra
Anonymous User spoelstra? 🤣🤣🤣 not even close to being great as pat riley, Phil Jackson, Greg pop. Lmao
@@jaygear5870 yeah, but he said lebron never had a great coach, spoelstra was a great coach
Anonymous User he’s very borderline great. I consider him to be a coach like mike Dantoni or Stan van gundy

“He can't play any better than he played last year.”
2017-18 LeBron James:
“Hold my ball”
Like damn i swear that was the best playoff performance ever he just transformed into lebron james + michael jordan in one body like damn
Joseph Tannous Yeah. He carried the team to the playoffs by himself. Guys like Kevin Love just became unnoticable thanks to LeBron
Being a Cleveland sports fan we all know Pain, Agony, and Blues:
The Drive
The Fumble
Michael Jordan
Thank God LBJ brought a title to The Land in 2016. I'm good. Peace.
I still get chills down my spin every time I see that block
He is pure destruction.
What block?
Lbj is not just a player, he is the face of the Nba.
I cry while watching this short movie of Lebron's legacy.
Love you james
I cried for this comeback..i'm witness for king james for what you did..love you man
The dumbest statement ever made
" I Guess He Got his feelings Hurt" Klay Thompson 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is easily one of the best videos I’ve ever watched. The quality, the transitions and above all else. It’s about my GOAT.
This man dunk my interest in basketball, the first time I saw him play thats it... Since then I've been watching him play. And tried playing basketball too. 😍 I'm a loyal fan of his.
"He's probably not the 4th quarter closer they want, but he's the Chosen 1 they need."
I still get emotional watching the championship win from a 3-1 deficit with warriors.
IntrovertedSmiles lol
@Tod Wilkinson and were you saying that when they won and kyrie and Love were injured? Lmao excuses
Same. One of the greatest performances from a team in NBA history
Tod Wilkinson Lol that got you mad huh all you can say is “you can’t debate basketball with me”
Lowkey Godly Lol he got butthurt again
you my guy... deserve an oscar for this film. just wow!
How is it possible for a man to take all this pressure! He is legend and the GOAT
I really hope u make this again when he retires so we can get the full story cause this shit is good
Facts
I can only imagine what records he would have destroyed if he went to college, He’s a legend came from the dirt and got himself to the top, at this point the rings don’t matter anymore because like he said I’m not suppose to be here and destroyed the league for almost 2 decades now and became a 3 time champion, I’m giving him 2 more titles and he will be the first player to ever to win multi championships in different conference east and west coast being the main player on his team.
Who’s watching this after LeBron won his 4th chip, 4 - 2 against the Bucks
I hope 🙏
Who won finals MVP??
Don’t disappoint us future
@@czxxclzxx3754 prolly him ofc 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
The MVP is "Coronavirus"
I dont know what sport I am going to follow in the US after King JAMES retires, he is the reason why I fell in love with the game of Basketball.
10:30 Stephen A never said that about Lebron. That was about kd leaving okc
I’ve witnessed every part of this and makes me more of a fan he really is basketball for me
I get goosebumps every time at 24:41 lebron standing there like yeah I’m here. Most feared man on that court! You know everyone on the warriors felt his presence and even the audience felt it, hell I even felt it through the TV.
Big thanks to the editors! But the most thanks is to you Lebron. Thank you for the history you gave us to watch and enjoy. Just to be in conversation with MJ… You’ve done something. Thanks again Lebron
Noone like Lebron..The man who can do anything.
This fricking thing made me cry man. I don't care what anybody says but this guy here is the GOAT. His roads weren't easy at all but he is doing what nobody does.
Man every time i look back to 16/17 final i get hyped up so much
GodblessyouKING
Looking forward this year
Chosenone🏆👑👑👑👑👑
Love him or hate him.. Lebron is a GREAT basketball player.. what he accomplished in basketball is not a joke, regardless of Jordan, kobe and other greats.
I don't have any interest watching basketball until I saw him in the 2012 finals in my neighbor's TV 😅 , from then I'm a big fan til now . NBA will never be the same when he retires .
Literally I takes a lot of luck to be a champion. LeBron has had some good luck on his side but the bad luck outweighs the good. Still he never changed who he was, still he faced the challenges with all his might & power. Yes he has lost 6 times in the finals. These aren’t excuses but the man was subjected to being great and DELIVERING a championship or bust as a 22 year old. At 22 MJ was finishing his last year in UNC. If anything goes to show you that winning championships takes a lot of luck along with hard work then it should be the golden state warriors.
To some MJ may be the GOAT, LeBron will always & forever be my GOAT. A man winner is determined by the obstacles he faces, even if he loses all that matters is how you respond! How good was MJ? Most people will tell you, he’s as good as ever seeing a game 7 in the finals, or 6-0 in the NBA finals, or 5 MVPs & 10 scoring titles good. There are some key factors to take into account when looking at these 1 dimensional numbers like the difficulty of competition, or the amount of talent on your team, or injuries etc.
Yes MJ has 10 scoring titles, but he also wasn’t going up against guards/forwards who can dribble, shoot from 30 & dunk it over a 7 footer like T Mac, Kobe, James Harden, KD, Russ, Steph, D Wade, Dame Lillard, Kawhi, PG13 & D Rose like LeBron had to face. It’s quite the contrary MJ was the ONLY guard who can dribble, shoot & dunk over you & lock you up as well. You see these type of player archetypes every 3 years it seems now.
I don’t want to turn it into anMJ vs LeBron debate. To each it’s own but IMO it seems to me like MJ was at the right time in NBA history & with the perfect team in NBA history aligned his peak prime with the fall of the greats like Magic & Bird PERFECTLY enough. Without a doubt MJ proved he shows up in big moments, but let’s be honest so has LeBron but I also got to see LeBron retaliate after 2011, I’ve seen him TAKEOVER game 7s repeatedly. I’ve seen him fall & get back up. Just like MJ fans seen Ali fall & respond. Those type of things add character & subtle flaws to what everyone thinks is supposed to be a PERFECT canvas of a story. I hope & pray Bronny Jr is in route to following his dads footsteps & to see if he can 1 up his own fathers legacy on the court because off the court it may be impossible but on the court I’m excited to see if it’s possible. I hated LeBron when he left the Cavs not because I didn’t like him but because EVERYONE else hated him too. Now I’m writing 600 word comments under a LeBron RUclips video.
If you read all this god bless you & continue to strive for your own greatness. LeBron isn’t just a basketball player he’s my idol & I’m forever grateful for him.
Kareem -was better than mj for 1....you hit alot of facts on the head that mj fans like to overlook.mj played against alot of scrubs and smaller guards and forwards..he had most trouble with taller guards .penny and Reggie to name a couple ..now's days guards and forwards are bigger faster stronger and better
nmb Memphis beast24 agreed I think mj had it made on winning chips lebron on the other hand he had it the hard way he had to vs the dynasty of Tim Duncan vs bron there was no one on that 2007 finals roster for cavs and he vs Golden state it had the 2 greatest 3 point shots the game has ever seen and in 2015 kyrie and love got hurt your 2nd best player was delidova in my eyes lebron is my goat
AnkleTaker 2 WOW!!! Very well said! I do agree with the MJ-LBJ Championships/Rings comparison
As someone who consistently writes similar multi paragraph comments on RUclips about bron, I love to see your angle of it. No hatred, or disrespect just your logical opinion. Everything you said is spot on and I have to double up and say to me what makes LeBron the goat and my idol as well is his ability to show his humanity. Mj was a robot, which is fine, but LeBron is a person. He feels real, like someone you could know, and he’s gone through trials and tribulations right in front of all our eyes. Although the Jordan fans forgot all his bad moments, Lebron’s have all been right smack in front of our eyes and the media will never let us forget them. But I respect the man to no end because I’ve never seen an athlete go up against so much and still be so successful time and time again. We can debate, throw out numbers, stories, and stat lines from finals games but the reality is that we all need to step back and appreciate. We all love sports. Jordan was great, LeBron is great, and there have been many many other greats that came before them. Let’s just appreciate all them, and all they do for us as basketball fans.
Ln D well said bro💯
As a basketball fan, I am fortunate to witness the greatness and legacy of Lebron James. Basketball fans around the world will miss him once he's done playing in the NBA. Just appreciate his greatness on and off the court! He is truly one of the most humble greatest athletes of any sports!
This video was really well made and edited. I think even non-basketball fans can appreciate this video. Great work!
Probably the sweetest moment in LbJ's career is the 2015-16 season, deliver his 'Promise' from a 'one for the books' historical 3-1 comeback in 'The FINALS'... that alone has been phenomenal... #JustAKidFromAkron #KingJames23
Two of my favorite things ever , all combined into One... The dark knight rises soundtrack and the 2016 NBA finals , THE GREATEST FINALS OF ALL TIME
This was an extremely high quality video. I was getting emotional and I couldn't tell if that was from the clips of LeBron destroying my Celtics or watching the highs and lows of his career. Can't wait to see what you do in the future.
I’m here right now in 2020 I hope he wins a ring this year😈
YOU, ME AND SEVERAL MILLION MORE PPL!! LETS GIT IT LAKERS!!!!!
He will.
There has never been a player more scrutinized. He loses. They criticize. He wins. They make stuff up. I’m glad I got to watch him and Brady’s entire career!.
I agree with you bro I love watching greatness and LeBron James and Tom Brady are the reason why🙌
I’m so glad I’ve lived in this era frfr
haters gonna compare him always to mj or kobe but they have different Era. stop hating appreciate greatness
Kobe and Lebron played in the same era and Kobe had that superior will to win. Lebron may be more athletic but that's the only edge Lebron had over Kobe. As far as MJ is concerned the road still goes through Kobe first if Lebron wants that GOAT title.
@@sdawg4834 1990's era belong to Jordan
2000's era belong to kobe

@@sdawg4834 Lebron is a better scorer, better playmaker and more efficient shooter than Kobe. Not to mention he elevates his team to higher level then Kobe ever did. "Athletic" lol
SDAWG you’re an idiot
Real basketball fans give credit to all but when MJ played it was a no holds bar type of game guy!!! the rules are not the same from the Era of MJ and Magic Johnson and Larry Bird and other Star players played!! Real Talk! you would get punch and choked and pushed while you was on a dunk intentionally to ruin your career!! and no one is gonna change that reality.. but at the end of the day Lebron is also one of the greats regardless! Enough Said!
Say what u want to Stephen A but he's got the most iconic voice in sports commentating. His commentary MADE this video for me. Goosebumps.
as a basketball addict, i feel so blessed to be able to see Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki and Lebron James play at their peaks.
When did MJ defy these kind of odds ? If LeBron doesn't win anymore rings I'm good because he's already done enough for the league and countless other minorites.
And mj never wanted to own his blackness, or talk about social issues. LeBron continued the legacy of Kareem Ali, and bill russell.
Ln D MJ just donated or plans on donating 1M dollars to the victims of Hurricane Dorian.
6-0>3-6
@@KingLucky1211 MJ should be 6-0 playing against Utah and Seattle in the finals. Which team did MJ face in the finals was better than the Warriors or the Spurs that LeBron faced ? When did MJ get of the 1st round of the playoffs without Pippen ? I'm not even talking about getting to the finals. LeBron has dragged his teams year after year to the finals when Kyrie, Love, Wade and Bosh were hurt. I hope that I helped you with a little free education...
@@MrCrossdatracks Bruh, stop it. LBJ apologists like yourself do not know the talent Jordan faced in the finals because Jordan himself would not let any of those hall of fame players take the spotlight because that position was his. Do your homework bruh, half of the teams Jordan faced where better than Golden State, this is excluding KD but wait, The Warriors beat LBJ without KD. The Showtime Lakers, That Portland team that was stacked and yall so quick to say Jordan only beat the Pistons when they got old, naw bruh, Jordan losing to them got old, when MJ got his first chip, most of the Pistons including Isiah Thomas where in their prime. Lebron has cruised his way thru a weak ass conference for all those finals he appeared in playing with multiple all-stars at the same time. Now the biggest idiotic comment you LBJ dick riders bring up, when did Jordan face a team like the Warriors? Bruh these Warriors have only been around for how long? How long has LBJ been playing? Exactly! During the 90s nobody won anything unless you had on a Bulls Jersey or MJ was retired. One last comment, Jordan did struggle to make to his first chip because he had to go to war to make it happen and then what, 3 peat, gone for 2 years, comes back, 3 peat again. LBJ jumps ship and goes recruiting for his. Get you facts right lil man. 6-0 > 3-6!
Amazing video of a living Legend. We are all witnesses to the King's greatness
Bellissimo video. lo guardo spesso e ogni volta mi fa venire i brividi, uno spettacolare tributo ad uno dei migliori Atleti che la storia abbia mai visto accompagnato dalle note di Hans Zimmer,
Posso solo dire Grazie per questo video.
Imagine beeing called the chosen one in highschool and still overachieve the expectations. Goat
Great retrospective. Very emotional at the end. That game 7 against GS - really the entire series. A series they shouldn’t have had a chance to win. Lebron played so freaking amazingly well it’s almost a once in a lifetime thing to have seen. And I’m a huge Kobe fan. But that performance was legitimately for the ages.
How perfect would it be to have the final be his exteammate Kyrie and KD vs him and AD
This is one i love and never forget. The drama, the struggled and succeed
The epic comeback. On basketball history.
The goat.
I am 50 years old and I witness Michael Jordan but LeBron James is the best ever I have seen there will be no other player to come along in my lifetime hands down the best ever LBJ
Youre making me cry.. I am feeling soon the end of an era. Ughhhhhhh.
That last 5 mins still gives me chill
5:04 Seeing that game in person was one of the greatest Cleveland sports moments I've ever experienced. Greatest player to ever step onto the court.
LeBron went into the league when I was a freshman in highschool. I’m 35 now and still watching him ball on the court…it’s wild to think about
Your mixes are always insane! Please upload a 2019-20 season hype video!

R3TR0 R3S3Y jordan has accomplished more
In 2009, it was my first time playing 2k9 with my friends, and to be honest about it, I never knew about NBA even when I was a kid in the 90's. I never knew how big Basketball was then until I was exposed to it in 2009.
Since 2009, I have been watching Basketball, I witnessed how LeBron was able to do a lot for the Cavs but still he never won anything until he went to Miami.
Now, that I am 35 years old, I am amazed on how LeBron was able to defy all criticisms against him; how he was able to silenced the haters, and still silencing them; and how he was able to make other NBA Players wonder especially on his longevity in the league and still be the best in it - it will always be a wonder.
On his 20th year, he has surpassed a lot and has lived up to the hype since he was 18 years old. LeBron is just 4 years older than me and he has already lived his life doing what makes him happy and making others happy.
Keep it up, Bron!
Epicness through the roof.
I will never shake off how I thought the Cavs were DONE after Games 1 and 2 in 2016. They look so lost out there.
Amazing content.
We see lebron as a superhéro in this short movie
I don't know why you put an accent over "superhero," but I like it.
