- On his show Coffee With Cal, Kentucky head coach John Calipari and Charles Barkley shared some of their favorite Michael Jordan stories. Barkley told the story of the first time he played with Jordan on the Dream Team, how MJ's relentless competitive spirit led him to torment a Puerto Rican point guard in international play, and how he compares LeBron and Jordan across eras.

![[2015] Stephen A. and Skip argue whether Michael Jordan could still beat LeBron 1-on-1 | First Take](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_Mjykt1qHBk/mqdefault.jpg)
All these MJ stories from NBA players are INCREDIBLE
It was because he was the first they saw back then to do it.
@william carter very true
Chamillionare has the best one!!!
@@ballyon5491 hahaha. That one was messed up!!
multyz1 First and Last.
Thank god for the "Last Dance" because now ESPN now has content for weeks.
Seriously!!! This series is like life saver. I might cry when it ends.
yes..i'm glad that they bring 2 episodes a week..if they had released all of it at the same time i would have been done next day lol!
@@pauljansen1137 LOL they leaked all the episdes and I finished it. I'm so sad now. The Rodman episode and Episode 7 was my fav. Got really sad with the episode about Jordan's dad and how messed up the media treated MJ.
Lebron could never
They have been dropping juicy vids for about 2 weeks now
Barkley played the best for 92 dream team in the Olympics
Not in the practice scrimmages. Look that up. Magic was talking a lot of trash to Michael. Guess how that turned out.
GABRIELA ACEVEDO + Prime Barkley was a BEAST
GABRIELA ACEVEDO Yes he did. He averaged the most points too I believe...but then again so did Carmelo Anthony in 2012, so what does that say? Lol
@Jiggy Thanos I've been watching NBA since 90 - 91 season
@@joshnic6639 that's exactly what it reminded me of. He carried that performance into his first season with Phoenix.
MJ is the 🐐
Is that caliperi lol
Wilt: "hold my 12" wand"
6ft 2hunnid yes
U mean lebron
@@313tee0 LeBron will never be the goat or as great as Michael.
“You need to call your family that you love them, just in case you dont see them again”
Im dead. 💀😂
Because the bad boy pistons were crazy
Barkley is the truth
paul pierce😂
The Don facts he was my fav player growing up. Best player to never win a ring.
Bro, he said Lebron was the 7th best player ever when most people can at least say he's Mt Rushmore... Some truth
Facts. He dont bite his words an we all know this.
Drew I have Lebron 6, media crowns him but real ones have him top 5-7
Purple lights ... Charles is always special .
The Last Dance Documentary tells kids today the real definition of tough basketball. Jordan is the GOAT
Gain Olavera don’t mistake “tougher” for “better”. Yes, basketball was tougher back then but now players are more skilled and athletic throughout the whole league then ever before. Different eras, both great.
more skill or are the rules changed .
@@ryanlewis7472 Well that's the problem about today's era. All players are quick, athletic, skilled and all of them look alike each other. Their styles are same. But back in the day there were diversity among the players. I mean, there were authentic players with different styles.
To be fair, the average ppg for each season show that the league only became tough after the Bad Boy Pistons. Until the early 90's a shitton of points were scored.
@@ryanlewis7472 more skilled and athletic?? idk if you even watch the movie.m or the old NBA games 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
"Don't you ever talk about me in public again, I'm Michael Jordan!"
Mr Bojangles 😂😂
Cold 🥶 bleed 😅
99.999% positive barkley cleaned it up...i was born in the chi and watched them win all 6, trust me. jordan wasnt saying it that nicely lol, he wouldve been aggressive about it and try to hurt your feelings with his words and his skills. if he can make you feel insulted or small than he takes your confidence, if you lose confidence you might as well get off the hardwood. Jordan was snatching hearts souls and dreams every single basketball game, wether it be on players in the league or the fans from the teams he and the bulls destroyed. jordan and the bulls broke alotta hearts!
@@hihihihihello lol. Guess you are mjs best personal friend since you know everything about him
@@hihihihihello it was definitely cleaned up
I don't know, I've seen Charles recently seeming like he's sad it wasn't.
It’s crazy how dominant MJ was as a guard in a more physical & big man era. It shocks me how MJ’s peers and coaches retell stories as if they were nightmares & superhuman. Thank God there’s footage of MJ’s career. I’m sure Oscar Robertson and Kareem would have a strong argument too if there were footage as detailed as was for MJ and others. MJ is the GOAT nevertheless.
that is a nuanced argument.. Russell and Wilt would agree!
Wilt is the 8th wonder of the world!
Paul Jansen wilt would never agree lol
There's plenty of footage and stats, neither compares to Jordan.
Wilt would’ve been either insane to watch or extremely lackluster depending on if the hype was true or fabricated.
To Lebron its just a Game as he has said many many times. If you lose you lose, if you win you win, its just a game. I can live with the results. But for the Goat losing is not an option.
Yup he said that...and still has his success on & especially off the court. Lebron is Lebron...Mj is Mj....and there is nothing wrong with either way. I don't have time for comparisons. Both great. It is just a game at the end of the day. One ti me seems to care about family, his people & helping people...the other cares mainly about the game and that's it...he doesn't talk about anything else to know what he likes other than the game. I hope he can find other things in life to enjoy.
@@One_Black_Panther Glad to see you not falling for the nonsense these fools in the media bring to divide the people.
Black Panther jordan does just as much for charity as Lebron he just doesn’t publicize it for attention
@@TheSands83 first off I didnt say jordan didn't...second I can fact check who does more charity than who and third jordsn out of his own mouth said winning is everything. All I'm saying is there is no right or wrong of anything. Lebron is Lebron, MJ is MJ. If u want to make it a comparison that's ur business.
@@One_Black_Panther lol jordan has donated like more then 30 mil US dollars to various activist groups, also u did say 'one seems to care about family etc, other cares about the game' so yeah u f up haha

Bahahaha facts
Don’t tell this the young LeBron virgin fans .. they have no idea what they’re talking about
😂😂
Lmaooooo🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cal keeps interrupting Chuck and its really annoying. Let the man tell his story
You just realized John Calipari is annoying?
annoying? not at all....i loooove a coaches perspective...
True, Please shut the F*** up Cal!!!
This guy just said “didn’t Lebron try to do everything Michael did”... That was Kobe bro
I know thats why kobe top 5. Lebrom top 12 lol
He was probably thinking about the jersey number and powder toss routine
What? Kobe never wore 23. Kobe never said he was chasing the goat of MJ. Kobe wanted to Learn from the GOAT. Lebron wanted to be like Mike just like Bow wow.
dablocishot77 Stick to black ops my guy. U never watched basketball if you think LeBron closer to Jordan than Kobe 🥱
6ft 2hunnid more people would say Kobe is low top 10 than they would lebron.
Guys this is what makes Jordan the G.O.A.T! Listen to the stories that legendary players and coaches have about him, they all say the same thing, they are all afraid of him wouldn't even engage him cause they were afraid he would go off and shut them down or score 50 and win the game. Nobody tells these stories about Lebron, not one of Lebron's peers talk about him like this. They say he's a great player but they aren't afraid to see him in a finals cause they know he's beatable! They aren't afraid of making fun of him or taunting him...its just different! All you need to know is how the people who played against them view them. Stop listening to the Nick Wrights and Shannon Sharpes of the world that never played basketball and never played either one of them!
James Haygood it's also been more than 20 years since he retired. These are old men telling old stories. LeBron still in the league fighting his battles with more to come. Wait for his career to end before u judge what his peers think and enjoy the greatness while it's still here
@@srinathchippa9891 true and you may be right but I'm old enough to remember some of these stories were around even 20 years ago. They've been telling the same stories for over 20 years. And I hope that Lebron stories do come out after he's retired cause he's an all time great and I love basketball but he's at the end of his career and there should be more stories now seeing how many different platforms these guys have to tell their stories compared to when Jordan was playing. I mean everyone has a podcast these days. But I've watched alot of podcast, interviews about players talking about Lebron, it's just different was what I was saying. They don't talk about him like Jordan's peers talked about him. That's all I was saying
Jordan had Pippen, kerr and rodman
Maybe, just maybe lbj is still active and not a legend yet!!! (MAYBE!!!)
unsynchronize & Magic has Kareem, worthy, Byron. Shaq had Kobe. Lebron had wade, bosh, Kyrie, love, AD. Duncan had Robinson, Parker, Ginobli. So what’s your point with that dumb comment ??
Barkley is spittin' truth. But when Calipari mentioned Anthony Davis when listing greatest of all-time in there era ??? Come on man. WAAYYY too early.
yeah greatest Monobrow maybe
I respect Barkley for that because AD hasn't played in big pressure playoffs games yet and performed as of yet and that is why chuck is the best he knows that without saying it. Finals performances counts to these guys
he was just hyping his own guy up obviously joking
hahaha.. i just laugh when he says that.. i mean what?? not even in top 50.. and i dont think hes going to make top alltime
One of Barkley's greatest traits is his self-awareness. Love his honesty. He is the truth!
Richard Song ✔️✔️✔️
💯💯
He was like that when he was still playing.
Barkley should go on Undisputed and educate Shannon
Educate him because he THINKS mj is better?
@@williehassell973 because everyone on their right mind knows that MJ is way more better than Bron
I’m tired of Shannon saying “GOAT JAMES”. Lol 😂 it’s so funny
Exactly!!!
Jordan could come back this season lead the Bulls to championship over Lakers.... Shannon would still say LeBron is the best ever.
Glad he reminding people Kobe was the closest to Jordan .
J Breeze
LeBron plays a lot like Johnson and Penny. Big playmakers who can score at will and have excellent court vision. Only difference is James was better in scoring and Johnson was better at passing. Both could do both at an elite level.
@@worldtree2027 So he is not one of a kind.
@Very Opinionated he's the only one to go 3 of 9 in the finals 😂😂😂😂
@Very Opinionated There aren't more than 1 or 2 guys you can say have his play style and all around skill.
Thrilla Cartel style of play it’s obvious. Kobe copied him to the tee. Lebron is a different type of player completely
I laugh at ppl who even mention Lebron name with Jordan.. Jordan is the greatest and it ain’t even close..
U laugh at ppl?! You sound like u can provide a great argument!
Michael Barger
U watching the proof bro
LeBron is GOAT
J Shine lebron better . Freak of nature
Lebron better at taking those Ls
We all were probably robbed of 4 minutes of personal precious, now historical stories by Charles Barkley, due to Cal overinserting himself. Dammmm bro
If u think cal is gonna let anyone over talk him u dont know bball.
"He dont want to have part of detriot pistons. Those guys out there tryin to hurt people. When you play against them, you must called home and tell your family you love them just in case"
Lawrence Torres please google a picture of bill lambieer thank you
@@allenivey7131 i already saw him, his interview last week.. hes an asshle..
“He(lebron) wouldnt want any part of the badboy Pistons” EXACTLY!!! Physically, mentally and spiritually tormented
Ras Taba hahahahahahahahahahahah
Mentally and spiritually for sure, idk about physically. They'd hit him and he'd definitely complain lol but that's about it
lmao he's 6'9 and more physically strong. If jordan could physically hold up to them, he probably could to.Probably
@@mohsinraza2589 I've seen Lebron give up when he doesn't get calls in this league with these rules. In that league with those rules they would eat him alive. He is not as mentally strong and he shows it at every opportunity.
lokilxix I mean when he gets fouled n it’s not called... he still makes the shot, then complain about the call after he made it anyway
Barkley made me laugh "you gotta call your family to tell them you love them in case you don't see them again " hahahahahahaa
While I was watching this video and Charles Barkley said that..I spit out my food and laughed so hard at that comment. 😂😂😂 Charles is right though!!
@@blaineested3567hahahahahahahah I was laughin 2 minutes straight XD
Yea in that time contracts that players had are not that much money like today millions so teams and league had to come up with these today rules to prevent injuries and abstance of the players that they have invested so much money for..
I really think that is the only reason that league and rules have gone this soft nothing else.That is why you must respect the era before this when i watch 80's and 90's games my jaw drop they weren't good shooters like today but they were all more fundamental.
@ablackprep I didnt say he wasn't serious him being totaly honest made me laugh :D
@@predragdjokic3761 you are 100% correct!
Wish cal would have let Charles talk
Amazing interview. It took me half of the interview to recognize coach !
I love Calipari's shade on Draymond "Mr. Delusional and all in his Feelings" Green
Ha ha ha.
Mr. Triple Single?
Going to search for USA vs Puerto Rico 1992 pre-Olympics....
LOL, Try searching when Barkley abused that African player....
@@davidtrevino5211 and "don't know anything about Angola, but Angola is in trouble" lol
@dionysis Be right there with you
Coach: The best basketball player you’ve ever seen? He’s at N. Carolina?
Barkley: He’s really black. I mean, he’s really black!
Yo this had me dead 😂💀😂💀😂
Mad people inside NBA really did call MJ BlackCat... 🤣 lol .
😆 😆 😆
Literally!
🤣🤣🤣
Basketball is a weird sport to watch because you know the greatest and most perfect player possible has already existed and played. We knew that when MJ was playing too and that's why even non sports fans watched. There's never been anything like MJ.
Business Partners theres never been anybody like LeBron either
imagine saying someone is the greatest and thinking progress stopped 20 years ago
Just before the ball is tip, MJ laser eye stare would petrified the opponent and that's game over.
Nemesis Enforcer then why wasn't he undefeated?
@@borrisbozeman417 probably because there were other players with an equal amount of intimidation facing him (u know the hall of famers standard of players). Soz if u were just being sarcastic or something
MJ was like Deebo to coach Cal lol
😂😂
Is that coach cal? Lol
Jiggy Thanos that’s why they he has a lifetime playoff record vs Chicago of 1-7 right?
@Jiggy Thanos Deebo Mourning stayed losing then 🤣🤣
Charles Oakley was the Deebo of the 90s NBA.
All he wanted to do was scrap.
Haha...just looked up the Dream Team vs Puerto Rico and he's right, MJ was on the point guard like white on rice during that game lol. He's even on him on the other side of the court when he was taking the ball out of bounds...kept following him full court.
Ok. Who was the point guard?..🤔🤷🏾♂️
jtremaine23 every player could’ve did that back then them boys was boo boo man 🤦🏽♂️ y’all delusional bra.... Kobe would’ve locked me up... Payton would’ve locked him up.. many players bra...
I’m about to go look up this game though because I remember that kukoc game lmao
I'm going to you tube right now....MJ ....smh
@@Trap323a Well, some weren't good or were too enamored with the Dream Team to focus lol. I know Kobe and Payton could do the same thing....I just wanted to see what Barkley was talking about in this video and the reason why MJ was on him like that.
But did you see Drazen Petrovic, Oscar Schmidt, Arvydas Sabonis, etc play? To this day, they are some of the greatest international players to play. Petrovic (Croatia) still did his thing against the Dream Team. Kobe even admitted taking some things from Oscar Schmidt's game. He always spoke highly of him.
I like Barkley's all-time list. I've got them ranked similarly, it just depends on what secondary characteristics you want to use to rank people. Wilt for instance was a fast and strong beast that could even fill non-scoring roles (led the league in assists once as a center when he was asked to pass more, which is ridiculous), but his lower amount of rings and leadership make it tough to make him #1 (but maybe #2 even). Bill Russell had 11 rings which is super hard to argue with rings-wise and might be enough to put him over Wilt, but the league and basketball just wasn't at the same level and it was more that the team was stacked than Russell being head and shoulders above the rest. I still rank Kobe over LeBron as well. I think we have to wait until Lebron retires so we can see his full body of work, but I would guess he's more like an athletically gifted person who will end up with some rings (like Wilt) but I think LeBron is somewhat poisonous to his team and organizations in the long run, so that'll keep him from the top, in my opinion. I would need to see his teammates start out crappy and end up great (rather than him trading to already great teams and having great teammates whose stats drop once Lebron joins), or at least go from decent to near all-star, to have him even be in the GOAT conversation, and I think it's too late in his career to expect to see that and attribute it just to him and not also Davis or something else.
He took the 07 Cavs to the finals against the Spurs. A Cavs team that literally had zero business being there in the first place. Their second best player was maybe Varejao, the rest were a forgettable cast honestly.
In 2015 he led the Cavs to the finals, and Kevin Love was out for the series and Kyrie only played one game. Not only that but he was playing against one of the best teams ever, and singlehandedly made a contest of it. Seriously, those Cavs should have been swept. He managed to lead both teams in points, assists, and rebounds, first player ever to do that in a finals. In other it wasn't the Cavs vs Warriors, it was Lebron vs the Warriors.
So he has taken crappy teams much farther than they should have gone, and only got stopped by dynasties.
I'm not saying he's the best, but there's no question he belongs in the discussion.
I agree 💯 with everything u said
@@MikeDindu add on the 2018 cavs that shouldn't of been there...i swear people just like to hate on lebron 🥱
Jordan always shined brighter than anyone else.
O M Geeeee...I don’t know why I found this HILARIOUS!!! Each time Coach Cal described MJ’s stare, I was visualizing it and lmao!!! 😂 🤣 😂 MJ was DEFLY a force to be reckoned with!
I agree with coach. Let’s just keep this between the era’s. And appreciate the greatness of these players
I do not agree with Coach, the only reason people say this is because they don't want players they think are great & who are great to be criticized & compated and that is a very WEAK statement but I get why a Calipari will say that. He a position where he has to save face because he is a coach & recognizable figure. But in truth, it is great to look at every factor because they are indicators that tell you who is better than who and who isn't as good as advertised and....who was better than people thought. Comparing eras is a great thing to do..
The problem is when someone says:
"LeBron can't come close to MJ as GOAT, people hear:
"oh LeBron is a great player"
in truth is a great player but he can still be a great player AND not come close to MJ
it just tells you & reveals the mindsets of people, hearing what they WANT to hear and not what's being said
Sometimes I truly wonder is Jordan even human? Seriously...
True, his hang time in the air, it will just blow yah mind 🐐
A lot of people have said that even pro athletes. Shannon Sharpe, the biggest Lebron Stan there is said when he first saw MJ in person it’s like he was levitating. Allen Iverson said he didn’t even look real.
He was neo playing basketball.
I got a video sent to me by a friend in 1991 NBA Finals
I put it in and pressed play and I seen an alien playing basketball, this player was so good it was like a video game.
That player was Michael Jordan.
He wasn't human. The staffs that worked with him and on him said his ability to recover and heal was unbelievable. Genetically he was gifted with size and speed and hands. But his maniacal focus on winning is unmatched. Maybe Tom Brady comes somewhat close in football.
Rick R. Tom Brady is definitely HUMAN....
Barkley still has Oscar over LeBron on his list after all this time. 🤣🤣🤣
Thata a thing called respect
Do some research young fella!
Lebron gets to watch film on the Big O, Oscar Robertson never got the privilege to study lebron as a player.
Duh it’s Oscar
He was almost averaging Triple-Doubles for 3-4 seasons straight...Big O was a God..
Charles says it best about the pistons abusive defense✌
Jesus....Coach Cal was really frightened of MJ's presence 😂😂.
He was trying to keep his job. He was going to lose but didn't want to be embarrassed.
MJ: You can tell at your players now. You have a reason to.
Calipari: Nope. In fact, I'm not saying anything.
MJ: Now it's personal.
I keep telling folks there can only be one as the highlander says and no1 is MJ everyone else is a distant 2nd...
Why have a talk show where you’re going to interrupt every time the guest speaks?
Inferiority complex.
Anthony Davis? Is he crazy?
Yes he is my boy
All he said was good, until he mentioned AD! Hahahah!
😂
MJ did the most for the NBA Brand. I believe MJ is the best NBA player of all time. I believe Kareem Abdul Jabbar is the best Basketball Player of all time.
@Ulysses432 lol who you got ? Lebron?
Ulysses432 I wouldn’t say that, because for example a smaller player in the league is going to have a far better skill set than a taller player out of necessity. Kareem is the greatest basketball player, but he’s far from the most skilled player. Larry Bird has a better plethora of skills than MJ, but he’s not better than him.
Barkley is spot on with the MJ/Kobe thing. LeBrons awesome, he’s not on that level though.
Lebron is a scrub ..he would be d league in the 90s
Marcus McNall To say that LeBron isn’t in the level of Kobe is utterly ridiculous. If you say you have Kobe 1 spot higher on your all time list than Bron, just like Chuck did, I can at least see how you might come to such a conclusion. But to say Bron isn’t on Kobe’s level with more MVPs, finals MVPs, points, assists, rebounds, blocks and steals in fewer games... something isn’t adding up. Oh, and a better head to head record against Kobe too. They’re certainly on the same level.
Another great video!! Thanks!
Legendary
The Round Mound of Rebound.. Sir Charles Barkley! one of the original Dream Team.. He is one of the guys saying the truth because he witnessed everything and a competitive person as well.. He says facts. Just didnt get a Championship because of MJ.. but really one of the Greats and one of my favorite players.. God Bless and Stay Safe to us All..
@42brownbomber, cough....cough....Zion...cough
Dream Team 92' Charles Barkley intimidated and dominated other country's teams all by himself. Get da tape!🏀
yes he did..Magic said that to the dreams teams HOF speach! but probably the rest were carefull not to be injured..still 92 dream team is the best
"I don't know anything about Angola, but I know they in trouble." - Charles Barkley
ahahaha it was the best though
Respect
He even got a tec for hanging on the rim after a dunk Barkley was a beast during the summer games he was the MVP of the team
Fav Barkley quote of all time is during the ‘93 Finals, Chuck runs up to a ref during a dead ball and says (paraphrasing): “it’s okay to call a foul...I know he’s Michael Jordan!”
I love when Charles tells stories! He makes me laugh! He was such an amazing player too! One of the best! This guy needs to let Charles talk. That’s why he’s there! He’s not a good interviewer!
First, God created the 10 commandments. Then, Bird said God disguised as Jordan. And finally, Pistons created the Jordan rules. Amen.
MJ was something else, u can't put him in the same bracket with LeBron
Ha ha ha you must be less that 20 years old right?
I could listen to Chuck in this scenario forever the guy is awesome!
I love Sir Charles' intellect. Everything he said were all so true. I love MJ stories. Hail Air Jordan!
he said" i didnt say anything"🤣🤣🤣
Nobody:
Barkley: He’s really black. Black cat.
Well its not really a secret that players in that day called MJ black cat.
Classic Barkley 😂
White people cant say that.
So that's why they called him Black Cat. I always knew it was one of his nicknames but never knew how he got it.
Coach Cal tuck his chain in when MJ is around.
Chuck is the Man.
Cal’s had too much coffee. He needs to stop himself from interrupting.
6:58 Pretty sure coach knows exactly who jordan stole the ball from. I think gill gettn stolen on to lose that game has haunted him since
Why else call out his name
Stole it from Kittles, dunked on Gill
Great interview! ✌️
This is so fascinating....I could watch this for hours
Anthony Davis top 10? what's wrong with this guy?
4:42 will shut down all LBJ vs Mike Goat arguments.
Barkley is an American classic. Thank you, Sir
Great conversation!
MJ
💪🏿💪🏿🔥
The
GOAT
This is all just reminder for all those who forgot
strength wasnt the key back in the day... it was HEART! with that being said.... MJ got everybody in their feelings as usual hahahhahaaaaa
People will never understand why and how he is the greatest of all times Michael Jordan. Defense better, offense better, leadership better, coachable better, off the ball better, posting better, and he is a shooting guard best of all times. They all said he was better why would we change something because if your feelings? They haven't been anybody better than Michael Jordan no matter how they feel.
I like it when so many nba players in the era with destroit piston saying there really doing so bad too be champions...even till now they set a bad examples for all the players which play the game and still not admit that. We can hear when a nba players said you need to told your family first before getting to that piston game that means much worst. Even how competitive and killer instinct to win a champion it does not mean you are going to hurt someone intentionally. It’s very true when Michael said its really bad for the game
I agree with Charles. Facts
AD top 10 all time? Is this dude high on something? AD has NEVER won a play off series
He said that because he coached him. Coach Cal won the NCAA title with AD they only lost 1 game that year
I miss those times. Real competitors!
Charles and this conversation shouldn't have been cut off short.
Barkley 4th best power forward ever
Gabriela Acevedo Barkley was the best PF ever
Tim Duncan was better.
I have Tim Duncan first then it's between Dirk, Barkley and Malone for second. Probably I'd choose Dirk because of the amazing title run.
@@robesch88 yeah dirk team was a beast back in the day.... he beat kobe and lebron in the same year to win that championship
Roberto De Marzi Don’t forget Garnett.
MJ's presence on the court alone was enough to induce fear and awe to every single person inside the arena. Be it teammates, opponents, the audience everyone. Can you even picture LBJ doing anything remotely close to that?
BIG BOSS IS THAT U

Dam Charles - your stories are AWESOME- you always were cool and we are fans of you over here in the DMV!
Way to go boss!
Lebron was the size of Ric Mahorn with the speed of Jordan. Why would he be afraid of the Bad Boy Pistons? I think we need to be a bit more honest with ourselves..
Rick Mahorn is 6'10, last time i checked, Lebron is not. Check your facts.
And why would he be afraid of the bad boys? Dude, you should see how the game was played back then, the pistons were ruthless, Lebron plays in an era that doesn't have anything remotely close to that phisicality.
Its not about how big strong or fast you are. Pistons back then are hard to beat . Are they joke to you?
Dre Newman quickness is more important in basketball than speed especially MJ era because the court isn’t always open and Lebron is not faster than Jordan he takes too long to speed up. MJ isn’t even running his hardest Lebron is.
Dre Newman What Bron do 2008 vs Celtics? 35% FG and 2007 vs Spurs? 35% FG! They couldn’t hand check Bron, defensive 3 seconds opened up the paint for Bron, they couldn’t flagrant foul Bron and get away with it, and his teammates could make more 3 pointers than Jordan’s teammates! Show Jordan’s 35% FG vs Pistons or anyone for an entire series! MJ made playoffs age 22 vs Sidney Moncrief 2x DPOY Bucks #2 defense won 59 games in 23 team nba 82 games Paul Pressey is also 1st team defense 1985 when Mj is 22! So no age excuses MJ a rookie at 22 Bron a 4 year rich pro can hire anyone to teach him anytime anywhere!
@@joaoaugusto7128 mahorn is 240 LeBron is 260 at worst. Come on this is ridiculous. If you drop LeBron in the 80s it would literally be like Thor coming down to play with mere mortals. He would have destroyed the Pistons. It's laughable, it's not even a discussion really. You can't compare eras it's just not fair to those guys in the 80s.
Dennis Rodman is on that “beat defenders “ list in my book.
*Best????
You could make the case that Pippen was a better defender than MJ.
No lies. In my lifetime its MJ, pip, payton, Rodman, hakeem, Alvin Robertson
"Lebron is a nice guy" say no more Charles, MJ didnt care one bit about being nice !!
...the only thing BRON has in common with JORDAN is they both have drivers license, Mj is the true GOAT: shoe sales, rings, defensive titles & real hair💯
MJ hasn't had hair since I was a toddler.
Jordan is the 🐐
Mamba was the best in our era.
Lebron is great in his own way because of longevity and what he has done for the community.
I have to agree with Chuck, 23 & 24 were cold killers. That's what separated them.
Bron to busy trying to buddy up other players. Winning at all cost is not his priority.
GYG TV LeBron is the best in our era. He’s a different player than Jordan and Kobe. He doesn’t have to play the same way, which we know is true because he plays more like Magic than those two.
Lebron is way more efficient and clutch then Kobe. This man Kobe would shot over 4 players. Hits stats do not even compare to Lebron or even an Oscar Robinson. Kobe is not even top 5.
They were not killers they were ballhogs
@@lonnyronny1987 klutch? Did we forget Kyrie hitting that big shot for Cleveland to win the chip? Or Ray Allen hitting that big three against SA? I'm not doubting LeBron greatness but he's not clutch sorry
@@denissallanyu4034 no question but when the game is on the line don't you want the ball in their hands? I would
Chuck you really gonna not put Tim Duncan and Shaq in your top 10?
Peter Noordsy You’re not wrong, however, the game of basketball has been played by many many great players for as long as the NBA has existed, that not one person will have the same top 10 players on their list. What’s so great about basketball is that it’s still ongoing that players who are currently active can affect those lists in the future. I love this game lol
CAn't believe Chuck finally put Kobe ahead of Bron. Another note on Jordan: much of what he did with his style of play was spontaneous and athletically he did things we as viewers had not witnessed before. Such as reverse layups constantly, hanging in the air for long periods before shooting, his way of shooting his fadeaway jumper, his post footwork, 4th quarter comebacks, shutting down any player that the media said was a challenge to him, were all unique to him solely as a player. I didn't care for Jordan and still don't but I do hail him as the GOAT
It took me 4 min to realize thats John Cailipairi!!!
Bad boys would cause depression to Lebron
He would probably join them
Probably even made him retire cause it's "just a game".
That is why MJ is the GOAT and Kobe was the last remnant and symbol of standing the test of time.
G3 of that series is one of the best games ever. Footwork Masterclass.
I love how these guys one-upping each other with their MJ stories
Kobe, copied all Mr. Jordan's (Michael) moves. Mr. Jordan (Michael) GOAT!😎😎😎😎😎
Thats why kobes top 5 n kebron isnt. Shoukdve copied mj wilt kobe or bird lol
And Jordan admitted that he copied some of Dr. J
@@w1hines Dr. J was Mr. Smooth; Jordan was a Predator.
PLEASE! Watch "The Last Dance Documentry" Mr. Jordan (Michael) craft is 💯 percent organic and smooth. Mr. Jordan (Michael), never copied anyone. Mr. Jordan's (Michael) brother Larry played a very important role in the development of his organic smooth craft😎😎😎😎😎
@@aquintaancrum4606 He has openly admitted that he copied some of Dr. J and he was his idol.
It took me 6 minutes and 20 seconds to realize that was John Calipari.
Same here. I was like, who is this guy?
It took me a minute. Lol
"He's not in there yet" LOL 😂🤣👌
Don't interrupt Chuck, you are getting good stories here!
