TANK TALKING THAT TALK
tank needs to stay off the drugs
Tank also said Chris Brown is better than Michael Jackson. I wouldn’t take what he says seriously tbh
@@suntansuperman26 That says it all now I see why he has LeBron has the goat who in their right mind would say Chris Brown is better than Michael Jackson 🤣
Cel bro Jordan is better
The difference is lebum have MONSTARS as teammates. Not just adversaries 😭😭😭😭 why ya’ll dont get this
They never used 'longevity' to make a GOAT case for Kareem. 🤷♀
Facts it only became a case for Lebum because he has nothing else going for him besides longevity
They also ignore that Kareem got the same amount of Rings as MJ and more MVP’s. Soooo that should make Kareem the GOAT then right?
@@mr5timewcwchamp The Lebron's GOAT case is made up by the KlutchSports-controlled media.
@@mr5timewcwchamp YEP!
@@mr5timewcwchamp How many finals MVPs do Kareem have? Is Kareem undefeated in the finals?
I’m a Jordan guy but Tank probably makes one of the best James Arguments I’ve heard
The only thing he’s saying is players are better today than they were in the 80s and 90s which all depends on what you consider better are they tougher physically and mentally what about the little to no defense Just because you’re more athletic and can shoot better doesn’t mean you would be better in a team dynamic
😂😂Al Horford Hawks aren't winning 60 games in the 80s-90s. Jimmy butler Heat aren't making the finals in the 80s-90s etc.
@@sideshowbobsaget8876jimmy butlers heat was a replica of Jordan’s team without Scotty pippen.
How. All I saw was a bunch of complaining about competition and dismissing the fact that lebron stacked the deck too.
So without a second option and with a worse first option and with worse role players.???? That not just a whole way worse team?
MJ = Monster among men.
Lebron = Monster among monsters.
Did not expect Tank of all people to debate so beautifully.
Mj never won without phil jackson or Pippen...not the goat
@@truuffand leroid never won without a superteam it's that simple and leroid had 8 pt finals game and choked vs Dallas and spurs not the goat.see how that works
@@truuffLeBron played with so many stars and still got 4 chips in 21 years. That's sad.
@@jermo1213 lol what starts did he play with in those years in cleveland before he went to miami?? Pippen is a star and rodman is a star and phil is the greatest coach of all time...
@@tellitlikeitisfresh6541 no idea who leroid is
He cooked Stephen A. On his own show
He cooked nothing but some hot pockets in the microwave. Like how can you not achieve longevity with peds/balco. There is no way in fukkin hell, heaven, or earth can Stephen A bring that up without losing his job. SAS loves that bag he's getting & he's now a household name
Nobody thinks he cooked him but lebum fan girls 😂😂😂😂
He definitely cooked him 😂
@@edwardjr3231 he definitely cooked himself nothing he said made logical sense goofy
@@kylonp7311 yes it did that's why you're so emotional 😂💀
Chris brown vs MJ? Is this even a thing ? Really MJ?! Wtf no one is closed to MJ stop it .
Facts. Michael Jackson is the only GOAT MJ left now
He the second thing closest to him tho if we being honest 🤷🏽♂️💯
@@Sthwest1Brown’s not even close to being in Michael Jackson’s stratosphere.
CB is a more versatile dancer but musically he cant touch MJ!!
Let’s be honest CB is the closest we have to MJ from his vocals , performance, and even outfits no one is closer then CB to MJ
NBA, the only sport where people believe players from 40 years ago are better than modern players..
After another 40 years ago what would be?
@@777gers it will be even better than it is now. that's just the way evolution works

If you were to cap Lebron on his first 15 years, the gap between the two players widens even more significantly in Jordan's favor. Jordan simply did more in less time with less help than LeBron James.
Might as well throw bill Russell in there. He done better than both of them.
@@Ironboy00 I’m looking at individual accomplishments in conjunction with championships. But I have no problem with that.
@@CurtisT1019 notice how you mentioned turnovers but you didn't mention the assists difference and the fact that lebron has a better assist to turnover ratio while being a way better passer. Lebron missed the playoffs winning more games. Jordan was able to make the playoffs with a 30-52 record. Lebron didn't make the playoffs until he led his team to 50 wins in his third season. Oh not to mention the stats on clutch shots is wrong and jordan played way weaker competition. Yall are disingenuous.
@@sportstalkonly1442 I did leave turnovers off, and that was my mistake. But if we went down the list, there’s way more checkmarks in Jordan’s favor than there are in LeBron’s (even counting assists). I don’t know who came up with the notion that LeBron faces tougher competition. The teams Jordan beat on average had more wins than the teams LeBron beat. The Warriors with KD may be the only exception but that’s not the only team he faced. And let’s not forget that the Eastern conference was very weak when LeBron led his team to the finals early on. Which is why it was dubbed the “Leastern Conference”. And the stats on clutch shots are not wrong. But don’t take my word for it do the research yourself. I speak on facts and not emotion.
@CurtisT1019 dude regular season wins prove nothing. Most teams that have been to the finals excluding lockout seasons have won 50 and 60 games. The difference is the spurs and warriors are historical teams with multiple playoff and finals records for win percentages and dominance. The teams Jordan faced are and were not historical unless you're talking about the 80s. And when he did face teams on that level he lost. So you can call the Eastern conference that lebron played in weak because he went to 8 straight finals but Jordan's eastern conference wasn't weak when he went to 6 in 8 years and without him his team won 55 games and made it to game 7 of the ecsf? How about when bird, magic and dr j called the 90s watered down? How about when Dennis Rodman and Utah jazz coach Jerry Sloan agreed that the 90s was watered down and weak?
Stephen A gives Tank the last words only for SAS to interrupt Tank’s last statement LMAO
Cause he was talking nonsense.
Definitely monsters among monsters. They forget that people are more talented now than Jordan era.
No he's a monster among women I'm sorry..
This mf came on this show and came talk that talk! Spitting facts!
What facts did he spit? Help me out.
@@seonwallace watch the video again fam. and slow it down a lil

@@Bo-yz7epdude I mean this with all due respect. You should wear a helmet whenever you go outside. A really really big one.
The more you listen to this, the more it makes sense. Like me, try to watch videos of 80s and 90s basketball. You will eventually agree with tank that MJ was a monster among men but LeBron is a monster among minsters 💪
Only watching full games u will see the big difference in movements it’s not anything to agree with its video proving guys now and since early 00s been way more advanced
😂😂Jimmy Butler Heat aren't making the finals in the 80s-90s. Dwight Howard wouldn't be a top 5 center of the 80s-90s, Al Horford Hawks aren't winning 60 games in the 80s-90s etc.
Yup , you said it … among MINSTERS ! 😂🎯
Exactly. monster of the minsters..... lmao
Tank smoked this guy..Smith whole agreement is LeBron didn't have heart?? Homie but LeBron to any team Jordan beat in the finals or the Knicks and Jordan would never.... yeah I said it ...cut it out
Shaquille O'Neal was 300 lbs and 7'1" and was tearing down the entire NBA basketball rim in his youth. That version of Shaq got swept in the
1990's FIVE times by five DIFFERENT franchises! And that was Shaq playing on talented teams. LeBron has never been and will never be as
physically dominant as Shaq was. But I'm supposed to believe he would have been more successful than Shaq was in the 90's? GTFOH!
@@cyber6sapien lmao shaq said lebron is better than him. Furthermore shaq said lebron is in that discussion for the goat. Another thing that proves is that teams beat players. So shaq was losing to better teams. Not better players.
@@cyber6sapien don't move the goal post. LeBron is way more physical than jordan by 50 more pounds of muscle

GET THIS MAN ON ESPN!!!
Man to man defense too! 😂...how would you ever stop him from gerting to the rim?
Lebron would have ran through the MJ era he would have taken a huge piece of Jordan's shine with his all-rounded game. His athletic ways would have been topic of generations as today
After watching LBJ going to the finals for 8+ straight years with the level of IQ I can't sit thru a MJ's games without getting bored because it feels like no one knows how to move around the court or make smart plays. I would never want to go back to that era of basketball

When you are the " Blueprint" and the standard on which all others are compared. You are considered the GOAT. It's just that simple.
just because you were the first to do it doesn’t mean you’re the greatest, simple lol
Tank just shut Stephen A. Down. Tank know something 👍🏾
Tank just got his self caught because the same thing he’s saying about Jordan going back in time in the 80s and 90s so we can say the same thing about the 80s and 90s players in this era. They would have the technology medicine and training and basketball rules of today. Stephen A just doesn’t know how to argue his point.
@@puncho8799 or tank cooked him and there is no rebuttal to his response. The debate was never about throw them in different eras. But lebron played in a harder era and that's a fact.
@@sportstalkonly1442 So where is your evidence that the 80-90s players would not be able to play in this era? And vice versa. Once again, it’s all opinion base
@@puncho8799 again smooth brain the debate was never about throwing different players in different eras or who could play when. Lebron played against harder competition. That is a fact.

All of the players are great but LeBron is just better. It’s the same thing.
@@puncho8799 it's not the same thing dude.
@@sportstalkonly1442 Of course it’s the same thing if the players in this era went back to the 80s-90s, they would be called for all kinds of violations because the rules have changed to make it easier to play basketball
If it wasn't for KD joining the 72 win team LeBron 2 more championships. people forgot LeBron played in that checking up error
That's FACTS!!!!!
2 more championships? 😂 what makes you say that when Denver has tortured Lebron the last few seasons. When Booker & an old CP3 made him leave the court like a biyotch Isiah 1991 style a few years ago. The 16 Cavs needed a terrible Steph performance & Kyrie hitting one of the most clutch shots in history just to beat the Warriors. Gtfoh
*73
@@rackball5858 so you're comparing 38 and 39 year old lebron to prime lebron who led both teams in everything vs the 73 win warriors and was only getting better, hence 2017 lebron and 2018 lebron. I'm sure you remember 2018 lebron.
@@WalkingWallet If LeBron didn’t join the Heat with 2 of the 3 best players of one of the greatest draft he would not have those two titles. 🤷 You can’t have both ways where LeBron is able to keep his all-time great teammate and competitors can not have there teammates.

That’s only cuz Stephen A sucks at this debate. The only thing I need to win this debate is eye test. Michael Jordan could have 0 rings and LeBitch could have 100. The eye test alone tells any real athlete especially a hooper that Jordan stands head and shoulders over LeBron at the game of basketball.
When lebron left the cavs in 2010 the cavs was the worse team in the nba…when Jordan left the bull the made the playoffs….shoot they almost made the eastern conference finals without him….Jordan never took a team of scrubs to the finals

When people say LeBron couldn’t play in the 80’s it was more physical. LeBron, is around 250lbs. He weighs more than most centers of the 80’s, 90’s and he’s fast as hell. Do, you guys even think like about that? wtf..,who would guard him?
LeBron, is bigger than everyone on that 80’s and 90’s NY team including Pat Ewing. LeBron, player 2 decades in the NBA. He played with hand checking and without hand checking. Im a MJ and Kobe fan as well. I love basketball every generation has a GOAT. Tank, is 100% correct.
Every person tank named from this era is a way more advanced version of guys in 90s style
No kd/greek existed in 90s
And in regards to him "struggling against big
men in the paint, I'm pretty sure
this myth arose solely as a result of his
struggles in the 2013 Finals. LeBron James had
the best series of his entire career against #1
ranked defence and reigning DPOY Dwight
fuckin Howard in 09 where he averaged 39/8/8
49FG% and 59TS. And no, the team didn't
"lock down his teammates and let him get his",
that's a throwaway that people that didn't
watch the series say to downplay his ridiculous
performance. More importantly, that very post
season LeBron played against old school non-
small ball big men all throughout the Eastern
Conference. Against Tyson Chandler and Amare
Stoudamire, he averaged 26/8/8 on 47FG% &
60TS%. Against Roy Hibbert and David West,
30/11/6 on 50FG%o and 56TS%. KG? 34/11/4 on
53FG% and 59TS%. If you wanna include
Perkins and lbaka then 29/10/7 on 47FG% and
56TS%. So all and all he averaged 3o/10/6 on
50FG% and 57TS% against old school big men.

@@mikemack87 …….a certain former number one overall pick?
Tank is preaching right now!
THE TOP 20 ALL TIME:
1. Michael Jordan - the greatest player and the greatest career in NBA history. Most dominant offensive force and one of the games best defenders.
6x Champ 6x FMVP 5x MVP
2. Bill Russell - the greatest winner and greatest defensive force in NBA and sports history. A legend on/off court. The key to NBA first dynasty.
11x Champ 5x FMVP 5x MVP
3. Magic Johnson - the great PG ever (so far…). REVOLUTIONIZED his position and saved the NBA.
5x Champ 3x FMVP 3xMVP
4. LeBron James - the greatest longevity in sports history. One of the most dominant forces ever and top5 all round player. Still.. counting.
4x Champ 4x FMVP 4x MVP
5. Tim Duncan - best PF ever. One of the most fundamentally sound players ever. Played both ends at the highest level for 15 seasons.
5x Champ 3x FMVP 2x MVP
6. Kareem Abdul Jabar - owner of the most dominant go-to move on offense. The HOOK. The previous scoring leader and lead all points for 4 decades. The greatest BASKETBALL career ever.
Prep to Pro.
6x Champ 2x FMVP 6x MVP
7. Kobe Bryant - see number 1 and dilute the athleticism and physical intangibles and that’s what you got.
Arguably the greatest warrior in NBA history.
5x Champ 2x FMVP 1x MVP
8. Shaquille O’Neal - the most dominant ever. The immovable object/unstoppable force. Shaq was the definition of dominance.
4x Champ 3x FMVP 1x MVP
9. Larry Bird - maybe the most legendary on the list. Precursor to Jokic but better. One of the most skilled & clutch players ever.
In any sport.
3x Champ 2x FMVP 3x MVP
10. Hakeem Olajuwon - back to back.
The best of the mid90’s and second best player in the era. Hakeem is like Russell but with AllNBA offensive ability.
2x Champ 2x FMVP 1x MVP
11. Wilt Chamberlain - the games most prolific scorers. Arguably it’s greatest defender as well. The man could do it all. Even lead the league in assist at 7”2. Wilt IS unparalleled.
GOAT athlete.
2x Champ 2x FMVP 3x MVP
12. Steph Curry - the games most prolific shooter and one of its greatest scorers. REVOLUTIONIZED the game forever. STILL GOING.
4x Champ 1x FMVP 2x MVP
13. Isaiah Thomas - ZEKE. CP3 before CP3 but nastier and meaner. A warrior and one of the games greatest strategist and generals. Quietly a top5 passer.
2x Champ 2x FMVP
14. Oscar Robertson - the greatest all around basketball player ever. Could do everything at a AllNBA level.
Changed the way players were interpreted and influenced generations.
1x Champ 2x MVP
15. Kevin Durant - the Slim Reaper is likely the most ideal offensive weapon ever. Can hit from anywhere, anytime over anyone. Hard to beat and impossible to match that level of offensive dominance.
2x Champ 2x FMVP 1x MVP
16. Julius Erving - The good Dr., the FIRST MJ (before Magic & Jordan), The icon and face of BOTH leagues that saved the game in the 70’s. Kareem was the best but Doc was a close 2nd. Underrated statistical brilliance. Was like a 6’7-6’8 Giannis but with a better jump shot.
3x Champ (1 NBA) 2x FMVP 4x MVP (1 NBA)
17.. Moses Malone - CHAIRMAN OF DA BOARDS. Arguably the best board getter… ever. Only Wilt, Russell, Rodman and Thurmond belong in the same discussion. Moses lead his people to the promise land more than once but was able to claim immortality in the early 80’s. His team lead by the dynamic duo of he and Doc dominated the league. Before Lakers v. Celtics it was 76ers v. Celtics-Lakers.
1x Champ 1x FMVP 3xMVP
17. John Havlicek - the GREAT one. MJ is 6-0.
Ole Johnny is 8-0. The offensive force off the bench or starting that lead the dynastic Celtics to all 8. Early in his career he was akin to Jordan Poole role on Warriors 22’ team but better at everything but the 3 ball.
Then in the late 60’s-70’s he sat in captains seat. His career is a unique mix.
Played like Pippen with elite perimeter shooting/scoring, early career was early Kobe-esque, late career MJ/Kobe-esque.
John’s game rose in the playoffs.
8x Champ 1x FMVP (likely 4x)
18. Giannis Antetokounmpo - it’s getting freaky… GreekMan is literally on the ride to potentially threatening Tim’s best PF title.
If he can add a couple more rings to his already HOF profile he will likely be the new PF or TOP 5 player. Yea. THAT GOOD.
1x Champ 1x FMVP 2x MVP 1x DPOY
19. Jerry West - The LOGO. Steph Curry before Steph. The man that built the LA franchise along Baylor post Mikan era.
Jerry West was the blueprint skill base for players like Kobe, MJ, TMac, etc
At 6’2-6’3 he torched his opponents his entire career and dropped plenty of dimes.
The ORIGINAL combo guard. So damn great he LOST and still won FMVP… case closed.
1x Champ 1x FMVP
20. Nikola Jokic - the Joker is no damn joke.
Genuinely a candidate for potential GOAT if his career pans out in the extreme positive like that of the top 10. Jokic is in a unique place being the greatest passing big statically NBA history (excluding Magic).
If Jokic finds a way to fit more jewelry in his fingers, we might have to have a real discussion about that greatest Center of all time discussion. Yes. Potentially a top 5 player alert.
1x MVP 1x FMVP 3x MVP (should’ve been 3 consecutive but you know
major disrespect to lebron. His 1 or 2 period. Just very disappointed because it's so bad. USA USA USA USA
Problem with Bill Russell is there were only 8 teams at the time. That alone brings your chances to win a championship way higher.
There was also a rule that the 1st seed would get to skip the 1st round of the playoffs so they only had to win 2 playoff series to win the championship compared to 4.
Lastly he was average on offense, only 15ppg at a time in the league when guys like wilt could average 50ppg. Most his rings Bill Russell was the 3rd or 4th option on offense.
also no 3 point line back then
I like the list we have very similar names but I can’t see any justification for magic over Lebron at this stage unless ur just counting accolades without context. Lebron is the Goat peak and longevity

in LeBron's era, then why was LeBron and two other guys were drafted in the 2000's, still the best players on a Team USA roster in 2024? 🤔
It doesn't matter in today's day and age. Jordan's game was so great, his ability to lead a team to the ultimate prize so flawless, his bag so deep that these fools have taken to diminish a whole 2 decades worth of players to make their nonsensical arguments.

@@DarellDavie1yup lebron james 20 time all nba. Legoat for a reason.
People often overlook the undeniable truth: LeBron James is the reigning “icon” of our time. He’s not just an athlete; he’s a phenomenon, meticulously crafted under the powerhouse of Nike. At the heart of this spectacle lies one simple truth: it’s all about revenue-pure, unadulterated MONEY. Nike is determined to elevate LeBron’s stardom to stratospheric heights, and why? To sell the brand. This is marketing at its finest, and it’s high time we grasp this reality. Buzz, controversy, and star power are the currency of this game. As long as they can monetize LeBron’s name and generate millions, he will be heralded as “The Goat,” King James, in their eyes.
Nike is the titan behind this operation-a juggernaut that shapes public perception. Notice how we don’t see other incredible talents, like Stephen Curry, receiving the same level of elevation? It’s simple: Curry is Under Armour, while LeBron is Nike. This distinction is everything. The whole narrative is a grand performance, a business strategy aimed at maximizing profit.
Think about it: the emotional rollercoaster of teams, players, and statistics pulls fans in, making them invest their hard-earned money, time, and passion into this corporate machine. The goal? To reap as much profit as possible. This is the reality of the sports world, where the lines between passion and business blur, and the spotlight shines brightest on those who can sell the dream.
This debate is so stupid. MJ is the Goat
You have to play 21 year to try pass. End of debate
Pass what team accomplishments? Cuz he definitely passed MJ n All totals and avg more in career rebs and assists. If u talkin bout rings mj didn’t pass Kareem or Bill, MVPs mj have t passed Kareem. And with this logic, u definitely must have Bron over Kobe right?
@@Bagdrop24 Basketball is a team sport, buddy. No one has the trophy case that Jordan has. The only argument with Jordan is Russell because finals MVPs or dpoys weren’t around. Otherwise, Jordan has 2 chips, 1 mvp, 2 finals MVPs, 11 stats titles over Lebron. The difference is literally Kevin Durant. If James can get to that, then it’s a concession he’s the goat with all his longevity numbers added to the accomplishments.
This is only a good argument if he has a winning record against those dynasties. He doesn't, AND he lost to non dynasties like the Mavs...
@@Bagdrop24nobody cares about longevity stats
@@coryjohnson7755 and jordan has a losing record to dynasties. And beat no dynasties in the finals
Love lebrons longevity but the 2011 meltdown against Dallas in the finals on the biggest stage is what did it for me that solidified MJ as the GOAT.
6-0 beats 4-6 and MJ did all this in less time than lebrons tenure too.
MJ is the Goat! 🐐
Then John Havelick is better than Jordan....stats plus 8-0 final records 😂
@bipindaniel9698 😂😂how many FMVPs, MVPs, scoring titles, etc. Does Hondo have? Jordan is better and greater at basketball than LeBron.
Then this why your argument is flawed…. 2011 is what keep you Lebron haters going. U have nothing else to disqualify Lebron for so I bring up 2011 like it holds any water. And it doesn’t… it’s just talks excuse to use against him. But overall it doesn’t make the GOAT DEBATE END…. Learn sumthinh new and come back
Your thinking is simplistic
@@SaucyJellyRUclipsGamingyou know that it's a problem when the man you're claiming he's better than has a perfect record in the finals and generally performed his best when it mattered the most. There is nothing wrong with Lebron James career until you compare him to other top 5 players.
He said what he said 🐐💯
“He’s going to score 100”….Jordan has nearly 3x more 50 point games than LeBoring.

@@dnice4145 yeah and he don’t won’t to get exposed. I’m willing to bet a few years after retirement the steroid allegations will start to stick
People also need to realize that the 2011 Mavericks were a genuinely superb team. They're always referenced as "Dirk and others", but that team - before the finals - SWEPT Kobe and the defending champs in the Lakers, and then got OKC (who would be in the Finals next year) out in 5. Those boys were a formidable squad.
In any era MJ's dominating at the same level.
No he's not. He could not get 10 scoring titles in the modern era, win the scoring title and the dpoy in the same season or threepeat twice. Not happening.

Man yall gotta stop disrespecting MJ and adding him next to Lebron. MJ is on a whole league of his OWN. That’s how good he was. The eye test does not lie. These RUclips highlights don’t do watching him in real time justice. I’ll never forget those moments in the 90s.

Lebron had a 8 point game against Dallas in the finals

@christopherbeard2424 and jordan took 8 shots in a full 46 minute game vs the pistons. You wanna talk the magical number 8. 8 shots in 46 minutes. What about that? Do we just ignore this because it's jordan?
They always refer to this Mavs game with LeBron nothing else
MJ lost more games in his career than won without Scottie and LeBron never had a Phil Jackson coach
@@PHXNKVHXLIC Once again, people want to credit Pippen and Phil Jackson for Jordan’s success, but they never credit D Wade, Chris Bosh, Ray Allen, Kevin Love, Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis, or Dwight Howard for LeBrons success. Such a double standard.
Scottie didn’t win anything without Jordan. Phil won with a Jordan clone in Kobe and with Shaq.
@@PHXNKVHXLIC That’s because LeBron likes to get his coaches fired and jump teams. He could’ve elected to stay in Miami with Spoelstra or stayed in Cleveland with Ty Lue. He did it his way and deserves credit when it works his way. But he also has to take the criticism without excuses when it doesn’t.
perfect way to analyze it. Not a single soul that actually paid attention to ball in the 90’s felt like Jordan had a disadvantage from a collective standpoint. Lebron James has 4 titles in 10 finals appearances in an era that featured teams that broke records from a collective standpoint, that’s who Bron was going up AGAINST, not playing WITH. All while breaking individual records and literally changing the perception of what Basketball players should look like in their twilight years. There’s a difference.
Lebron played in the weakest eastern conference of all time he was facing Celtics teams in the conference finals lead by a 5-9 little man Isaiah Thomas or hawks teams lead by horford and korver im conference finals.
@@ozzee5094 and who did Jordan play? How many great players was at Jordan’s position in the 90s? We all know who Bron competed with
@@Bagdrop24 so the Utah jazz team that Jordan beat in back to back finals beat the Kobe shaq lakers Duncan Robinson spurs and the drexler Barkley hakeem rockets. That spurs team had an all nba Tim Duncan and All star David Robinson. Tim Duncan is 2-1 vs Lebron in the finals including the 2014 where an old way past prime Duncan’s team beat Lebron’s superteam heat squad in record fashion as it was the largest margin of victory in nba finals history so Michael’s Jordan’s competition took out Duncan who’s collected 2 rings off of Lebron. Also the Shaq and penny magic squad is better than any team Lebron ever faced in the east. Jordan beat and played way more 50 and 60 win teams. Lebron has never beat 3 50 win playoff teams in any playoff run. He had the luxury of playing in the weakest conference. Not only that but Lebron after forming a superteam got outscored by a bench player in Jason terry for the entire duration of an nba finals. Comparing him to mj is disrespectful Lebron has quit too many times on the hardwood
I find it funny, you guys never list the players Lebron’s played with
@@ozzee5094 Utah jazz scored 54 points in the finals, 2 hofs, 18 playoff appearances but 9 first round exits. Spurs 6 finals appearances. One finals loss to lebron james, 5 championships, 3 championships before playing lebron james at 22 years old. Oh and not only that the 2014 spurs bad 4 hofs and hold 5 current nba playoff/finals records.
His argument fell when he pretty much said "give LeBron Jordan's mentality" lol
Monster amongst monsters
- If he's at the height of his power longer, then you telling me he has played 21 seasons and only won 4 of em
- Needed a super team to get the 3 of the 4 (I don't consider Lakers a superteam)
- Then the super team in Miami wasn't even the one he wanted. He wanted an even more powerful team with Carmelo. Wanted Kawhi to play with him and AD. How you a monster while stacking all your teams?
- Took an L to a Mavericks team that only LeBron fans are now claiming is better than they were

Let me tell you a secret. MJ only played against 2 SG peers that made the top 75...Drexler and Reggie Miller! Are you kidding me? Shooting guards right? Drexler never averaged over 27ppg and he only did that twice. Miller never averaged over 24ppg and he did that once! These are MJ's peers in scoring and for all NBA teams. 😂
@@meaux-kneaux That’s the difference between Jordan’s era and this era Jordan was going up against great teams not individual players.

Saying LeBron went to Miami is probably one of the dumbest arguments Stephen A uses. LeBron was winning in Cleveland. He just didn’t have a crew around him to go against DYNASTY level competition. LeBron lost to the Celtics who had a Big 4 and the Spurs who was a Big 3 with one of the greatest coaches of all time. LeBron was taking people like Boobie Gibson to the Finals! Every Finals Michael Jordan played in, he had Scottie Pippen. I dare you to argue anyone on that first stint Cavs team that compares to a Scottie pippen. Someone who was an all around player AND helped Mj be able to do what he did on offense because he could play passing lanes and not have to guard the other teams best ball handler. That was Scottie guarding Magic Johnson 94 feet and making life HELL for him so stop this ignorant notion that Miami taught LeBron how to win. He finally legitimate co stars around him + solid role players

“Save his career” - Jordan could’ve retired at the end of his 5th full season & he’s a 1st ballot hall of famer with
1 mvp, 4 scoring titles, 3 all defensive 1st teams, the only other player besides Wilt to score 3000 in a season, the only shooting guard to ever tally 200 steals & 100 blocks in a season, & 2 iconic dunk contests. Red Auerbach called Jordan a top 12 player in history by the end of Jordan’s 4th year so Gtfoh with that.
@@rackball5858 Bro, LeBron could have retired after 7 years and been a first balot hall of famer too with back to back MVPS, multiple all-defense, a finals appearance, scoring title, and great individual numbers. Tim Duncan literally claimed LeBron as the best player in the world after the 2007 finals when LEBRON WAS 22!!
Giving Jordan some rookies who didn’t even start when they got there and a bench player from another team who averaged 6 ppg is saving him?
@@musicproductionsvp-compose177 I never said Lebron wouldn’t be a 1st ballot hall of famer if he retired in 2010. Neither Jordan or Lebron didn’t need their careers to be saved. They were both all time great - 1st ballot HOF by their 25th birthdays.
@@rackball5858yes, literally saved his career. What separates Barkley from the top 10 greatest in history? RINGS!
The way that Stephen A argued this point was very telling. It’s a played out point.
Lebron didn't play against mental abuse or assault and battery. He wasn't choked or body slammed in a live game. He cries about every little bump. In 20 years of playing in the NBA his body didn't take much damage or punishment. This contributed to him being able to play longer cause his body didn't take abuse. Let's be honest. Along with new age medicine and performance enhancing drugs.
You wanna talk about crying? Jordan complained to the commissioner about physicality. I've seen Marcus Morris literally grab Lebron with two hands and try to drag him down. I've seen Lebron block a 7 footer at the apex of his dunk. They aren't physical with him because they can't be. He's stronger than them.
What a short sighted take. Most basketball injuries are soft tissue injuries. The reason these injuries have increased is because due to the space on the court you have to cover way more ground leading to injury. The game was so slow in the 90s still feeding the post and standing still. There was not nearly the amount of movement. Sports science tells us that the increased space leads to a far more physically demanding style due to the pace. The fact that lebron has been able to play in multiple eras with multiple styles of play. If you really know the game it’s so much more to the conversation than physicality. Also to act like Bron couldn’t play in a physical league is a hilariously short sighted take. Acting like a handcheck is gonna affect a 6’9 265 pound dude is wild to me there was no athlete in the league that would have been able to withstand his first step and power. Sorry bro u lost it’s ok. Not really much of a leg to stand on when we actually break down the game. If you wanna pedal narratives that don’t have a real basketball argument that’s fine but don’t act like u really know hoops.
No one ever tried Bron or swung on him they no better
Jordan played with no social media...lol you are beyond wrong in your statement 💯
Wait, didn’t Jordan cry about the Pistons?

When he had 2 field goals in 41 minutes and shot 33 percent from the field and 41 percent from the line. And also went scoreless the last 11 minutes of game 6 with 8 turnovers. Not to mention 1988 the so called greatest season ever, he had an 18 ppg dropoff vs the pistons. Didn't even get to the finals. Didn't even get to the conference finals. Got beat in 5 in the semi finals.
@@sportstalkonly1442 🥱🥱we ain't forgot piston just played good defense trapped him and made others beat him. And he still didn't run to Lakers or Celtics like leroid did running to heat after choking yet again vs Boston
Just to summarize: Tank basically admitted that Jordan with one other All Star on his team for the entirety of the 1990's, was equivalent to the
dominance of the KD Warriors. That's really all you need to know.
@@cyber6sapien dude jordan had the two best defenders of the 90s on his team. He also had the best rebounder in the league. And the best coach. And the best sixth man. And the best 3 point shooter by percentage. All we need to know is that the 90s was watered down and jordan had a superteam
Fact that Lebron was never part of a dynasty is a knock against him. Despite all the talent he has, he was never able to make a team a true dynasty.
He was the dynasty
it's laughable when people say they think Lebron is better that Jordan. Jordan was clutch... he shot the ball with the same percentage in his last second game winners as during the game. That shows he didn't feel any pressure in those moments. No one compares to him, it's just so obvious. They have a few people here and there who actually believe Lebron is the goat so that they can debate this for good TV. So common, those who are falling for this just get over it... there is no debate.
Why lebron is the 🐐

That’s not enough for Jordan fans.

@@ChiefMan15Based on the analogy, both Allen Iverson and Jimmy Butler have strong cases for being considered the greatest of all time (GOAT) in basketball. Iverson led the Sixers to the Finals as a small guard, while Butler took the 8th-seed Heat to the Finals. Furthermore, Jason Kidd led the Nets to back-to-back Finals appearances without an all-star teammate.
Why do we celebrate losing when it comes to Bron? Taking a team to the finals is not the same as winning in the finals.

Stephen a needs to leave the past. Literally bench players and rotational players can start in any team back then and be a 1-3 option. The players back then was not what they are today. Nba purposely screwed lebron when it came to his awards especially dpoy and some mvps. If lebron wanted to he could have way more scoring titles than what he has now. But he a pass first. Lebron before heat brought that sorry cavs team to the finals. Mj could NEVER. He’d just lose like he did the entire 80s in the first round until his competition got old.
Smith thinks words can make the 90s as advanced on video as guys even in early 00s
I don’t understand why it’s so hard to admit that lebron is better. He’s the best of all time it’s not even subjective
Because he is not. Jordan is The goat.
I’m a die hard Kobe fan, and to me Kobe is the most skilled player ever. But Lebron is the best of all time. His ability to impact a basketball game in every category is incredible. Jordan could. It do that. Even if you look at the stats, Lebron has him beat in every category. Including scoring
