If Jalen guarded MJ, MJ would have dropped 160.
Christian Joel Cabrera He did in the 90's
You mean 162 lol
😂😂😂😂
Christian Joel Cabrera hahahaha
Jalen guarded MJ in multiple playoff series and Mike did not like seeing him, but Mike pissed on everyone
MJ or Lebron?
Paul Pierce: Oh that’s easy ! Me!
bustdetector that’s true
🤣🤣🤣
I was crying when he said he was better than wade😂😂😂
And Lavar?
I would have been like "Paul, be serious and answer the dang question!!!"
If you use Jay Williams logic then Shaq should’ve dominated Hakeem... oh that’s right, Hakeem made shaq look like an amateur.
Shaq was an amateur. That's a bad way to make an argument
X-man no the arguments holds water Al Jefferson was 290lbs at 6 11’ in 2007 and was seen as a faster and stronger player then Tim Duncan 230lbs 6 10’ ,does that mean in a one on one al Jefferson would of won ?hell no 😂😂,saying that the most athletic player would win is not a solid argument because basketball is more than just a physical sport is also a technical and strategic game.
Chuck Tate - Driven365 people forget this Shaq didn’t dominate until all the big men of the 90s were GONE
Junaid Desai that fat ass out of shape Shaq that even his coach Phil said he under performed because he gained too much weight?
@@gawdszn302 false. Shaq was considered the most dominant player ever since the 90s. You're either having revisionist history or you have a bias against Shaq
MJ hands down, not gonna even waste my time explaining why. I saw Jordan live as a kid against the Clippers. Watched ever game in the 90’s. It ain’t close.
Bron literally backs him down 😂
bud you know MJ is a pure scorer who plays great defense.. You can always tell who knows ball and who doesn't.. LBJ has lost to a lot of his teammates one on one that aren't half the scorer or defender Mj is... Do just a little bit of research and you will see who he has lost to
@@reubenbowen5096
mj cant defend a more better version of karl malone
you can tell you haven't watched enough basketball@@xtucs
@@wattwatkins3574 height is 6,9 and his weight is 260 and lebrons height is 6,9 and weight is 250 lol thats a similar

🤣🤣🤣 facts
Hahahahahaha maaaa nikkkkaa
yes I notice it too because he is desperate defending his queen. he is going to cry =))
😂😂😂
Rose: Mj is the greatest player ever both defensively and offensively here's the stats even without context, Williams: yeah but lebrons taller
🤣😂😂🤣😂😂
Facts
Hahahaa!!!
My guy, Lebron's the better player offensively lmao. He's better at clutch, higher 3pt shooting, Higher fg perc, passing, blocking and rebounding. The man defends the paint as well, MJ might be better defending the perimeter but offensively, MJ doesn't run the offense. He just scores on the drive and midrange. If you add in points responsible for on the stat line, Lebron's ahead a lot more.
@@Sklouchechi ooghhh offensively ??? That’s cap Lebron just has better IQ
@@Mobucksssss who's to say he even has better IQ? How do we as fans judge that? There's players that say MJs IQ was incredibly high too smh. To make the game look easy or make everyone else look like trash means u know the ins and outs of the game pretty well
I could've gone to a barbershop to hear this argument.
I heard the same exact conversation when I went to the barber shop.
I swear all they was saying is:
WHERE ARE THE RINGS, WHERE ARE THE RINGS
great point. why is this tv lol
@Frank Charles True dat
Hands would have been laid. LMAO
The barbershop was quiet until 1 guy came in with a 23 Jersey
Bro casually said Lebroom is quicker than MJ.
What a ridiculously false thing to say.
MJ ran 40 yards in 4.3 seconds. Lebron's record is 4.6. MJ not only had big hands but was called black cat because of how quick he was. Bro is either ignorant, stupid or disingenuous.
I agree. That was just so ignorantly untrue that Jalen didn't even waste a breath acknowledging that Jay even said it.
Kobe guarded Lebron why couldn’t MJ.
TheBizKore in Brons prime Kobe couldn’t guard him
Young Astro that’s was an old Kobe young Kobe would lockdown lebron
Young Astro except in 2013 Kobe clamped lebron in the asg and blocked him twice. 34 year old Kobe vs prime lebron 🤷♂️
If MJ played in the NBA now.. LeBron’s name wouldn’t even come up.
chrys cap
This is comparing MJs skills vs lebrons weight and height😂😂🤦🏽♂️
exactly bruh
Whats Jay's forgetting is the fundamentals of a 1 on 1 , thats man is crazy. Mj would honestly dominate against bron prime vs prime; there's is nothing unavailable in mjs personal scoring arsenal that lebron can be consistent of stoping.
@@HouseCrabChampion mj can't guard born bcuz he he'd get outmuscled and he shorter, lebron also has an equal 3pt shot thats we saying lebrons size v mj skin
@@inboundcow8323 first of all, learn how to spell. 2n of all
Mj is the best 1 on 1 player ever , when playing 5 on 5 is a completely different dynamic. Mjs scoring arsenal far surpasses bron in any fashion of the game, and he would honesty lock up bron . Itz not even a debate who s the better on ball defender( MJ ofcourrse).
The only chance bron has ,its his post up game but the master of the post fade away is MJ. So does lebron really have a chance to beat MJ in his own game ,least than likely. Jay Williams is drunk and clearly a dummy. The 3 would not be effective in this 1 on 1 match up .
Mj is faster and jumps higher than lebron so the 2 inch height difference wont matter. The only thing bron got going for him its his size, so the only thing that would make sense is his post up game. Other than that there's nothing MJ couldnt guard that lebron will throw at him. Like I said when yur this great, your 1 on 1 fundamentals are way more important than just sheer size brother.
Tony Montana yo relax, LeBron post fade is still pretty nice ( just look up game 2 v Toronto last year LeBron can just body him, post up, 3 three back dribbles and get mj off balance . Mj only jumps 2-3 inches higher so that doesn’t matter and u acting like LeBron has no skill in the one on one, when LeBron drives to the hoop it’s almost impossible to stop 1 on 1, you need help d to stop that, he has the most deadly driveI’ve every seen, if.u cut him off he just spins and finishes on the opposite sidemuscles through the contact, LeBron is also much stronger and is fast as well, lastly don’t tell me i need learn to spell when you need to do it too
😂
Jay Williams: “Lemme ask you something has Michael Jordan ever had to guard someone like lebron james?” Me: “has lebron had to guard anyone like MJ?”
Luke Gentry touchè! I'd have said the exact same thing. Then I'd answer by saying "Kobe! LeBron vs Kobe would be difficult to determine who wins. With that being said, MJ is a whole better version of Kobe and therefore it would be improbable for LeBron to win"
Luke Gentry exactly!!! James wouldn’t have a chance
Kobe
Kobe, KD
Jett Frank nah not KD, he aint got that big boi killer instinct like Kobe or Jordan did
The closest (modern day) defensive comparison to MJ would be Spurs Kawhi, who Lebron hated playing against. They even have similar hand sizes. But MJ's offensive bag was more developed earlier on than Kawhi's. And while he was physically smaller than Lebron, he was just as athletic. And his game is better suited for 1-on-1.
That part.We seen Kobe lock lbj down & make him pass.Lbj would b calling 4 a switch n a 1 on 1 game
Except Jordan had 9 all defensive selections to khawhis edit: 7
Jordan is way better than Kawhi, his reflex n instincts was top tier, he would steal the ball 5 times from lebron in 7 possessions lol, Lebron wont stop him once. Prime MJ would make Prime lebron look foolish lmao. Its no debate.
Raptors Kawhi would beat MJ bulls 1v1
@@Uskayo spoken like a true hockey player
First 25 seconds is Jalen Rose demonstrating how a sane man reacts to insanity.
If Kobe could guard Lebron I seriously don’t see why Jordan couldn’t
I agree Kobe can lock him up and has done it before. This coming form a Lebron fan
Right! MJ was 3x the defender Kobe was lol. Not even knocking Kobe.
Dakota Kidd not all of those points etc were on Kobe he got sum steals and blocks on Lebron..
@@miguelreyes2400 you not fan
Preach buddy!!
I grew up, watching both MJ and LeBron and I have to say MJ hit a higher peak of greatness than Lebron during his entire career!
True but Jordan also had the greatest decline also pulling himself from the league. He was the greater athlete but is not the greatest player. Just my view. Bron has every skill and can play every position. Jordan could dominate 1 thru 3 but would struggle at 4 and 5 even in his Era. Bron could play all 5 positions in any Era. That's the sign of greatness.
@@kkaina2793 That's what they say. Jack of all trades, is a master of none.. playing 1 on 1 and winning is what I call the better player. Making an impact to the team and winning championships is what I call greatness. If Jordan did not retire, he would probably have a lot better stats than LeBron
Higher peak but how about consistency and longevity? I personally think that there is nothing wrong with having either Lebron or MJ as your GOAT. No need to knock the other down because they are both really up there and it just depends what kinds of player or playstyle you prefer because both players play differently.
@@syberdieforlove I'm just being honest, but people saying that LeBron is better. Just burns my heart
@@angrut agree because players played the game to win, there's probably a reason why Tim Duncan is the greatest power forward over Karl Malone because Duncan won a couple championship despite of Karl having a better stats than him.
MJ has a very high basketball IQ and superb athleticism. So it means he can beat anybody. Even LeBron! It's not the height but the performance on court says it all. Michael Jordan is Michael Jordan! 💪💪
"Has Micheal Jordan ever played against a guy like Lebron James?"
Well he played Hakeem, Shaq, Ewing, Isiah, Magic and Bird.
Don't forget Karl Malone, John Stockton,Muggsey Bogues
And yet none of them are like lebron
AB AB And yet LeBron has never went against anyone remotely close to mj. But mj has went up against people comparable to LeBron
You're right they're better than Lebron
Queen James wouldn't last half a season in the 90's lol
jordan was known for being a monster in 1 on 1. he was humiliating players when he was 40 years old in 1 on 1
he couldn't even beat CEO John Rogers, a regular guy lol
the statement that Lebron is faster makes no sense, yes lebron is fast but cmon man MJ had elite agility and quickness. Have you seen his film??
Yeah I had the same thought..bigger, stronger, but faster??
But I think they both ran 4.6 in a 40 yard dash. So Lebron ain't faster. He is probably equal to MJ. MJ definitely quicker.
@@IMPERATOR-EL Jordan ran a 4.38 and had a 46 inch vertical

Did this man say Lebron is quicker than MJ? LeNofootwork? LeNobag? LeClumsy?
Cmon now
Jordan already played lebron, larry Johnson, malone, Alonzo, and more, were similar to lebron. Jordan attacked them Like they were boss battles, and won. Lebron would fake an injury half way through a 5v5 game with Jordan, 1v1 it might be closer, but Jordan would blast past lebron on offense, and force lebron to shoot more.
@@Seriouslydave there's no way youre comparing larry Johnson, malone, Alonzo to lebron 🤣🤣🤣

Lol your so right. I never knew James to stop great players from Getting a ring.
For the entirety of his career MJ was double teamed many times triple teamed. The Detroit Bad Boys designed a strategy to stop him (The Jordan Rules) at all costs whether to end his career through injury so be it.

"Has Michael Jordon ever played against a guy like LBJ?"
Has LBJ ever played against a guy like MJ? Never has and never will. The closest was Kobe and Kobe handled LBJ when he was in his prime. There is no comparison.
Handled? Bruh by the time kobe hit his prime Michael was faaaar removed from his.
@@parikshitrao4208 Did you read my comment? I was talking about Kobe handling LBJ when LBJ was in his prime. Like I said, when it comes to MJ there is no comparison.
Lebron led teams were 16-6 against Kobe led teams and he was beatin him with Mo Williams and Kobe had Pau, Bynum, Odom etc sp idk what your talkin about, imo if the Cavs beat Orlando in 09 they beat the Lakers in the finals
@@tylerreigle6462 I don't refute your stats, but they are representative of team results. I was referring to KB vs LBJ...player vs player.

@@dreadheadj5558 Basically the entire Detroit piston team with their "Jordan Rule"
Its actually close but 8/10 MJ takes the cake.
This guy saying James can beat Jordan cause of his weight and being tall? Michael went up against taller and heavier players like Shaq.
Remember when mj switched teams to win the NBA championship.
Neither do I
Remember Lebron carrying an average Cavs team to a championship? I do, remember Jordan having the best team in the league for 6 years....I do
Beardedpower I still don’t understand why people don’t know this. Lebron played with the cavs and carried them for so long, he didn’t get much help and his organisation was trash unlike the bulls in the 90s who arguably had the greatest organisation of all time surrounding MJ with great players. If Lebron didn’t leave, people would be saying he’s just wasting his career in Cleveland. If your not getting taken care of, you’ve got to take care of yourself!

@@jaimegutierrez1528 oooooh 41 points by the way. Lebron carried Kyrie
This guys argument is "LeBron weighs more so he'd win" LMAO WTF this is ridiculous.
LeBron weighting more is a bad argument, but jalan throwing up stats isn't good neither.One on One b-ball is different. They're alot of great one on one ballers on the playground who could take mj and LeBron who never made the pros.
Weight makes a big difference in basketball. If you don't weigh a lot, on offense your movement can be altered more easily. On defense, it's harder to alter the offensive player's movement. For rebounding, same situation.
@@aChristian4RonPaul Well, Kevin Durant, Kareem, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, and George Gervin were thin and great scores.Dennis Rodman was a great rebonder and skinny. Strength, toughness, and durability can make up for lack of size.
@@courylanders8647 you can be thin and still weight a lot when you're tall. Duncan weighed about the same as Lebron. Garnett did too. Durant is close to Lebron.
Furthermore, you can be the lightest person on the court and still be the best scorer, even the best rebounder, even the best defender. Agreed that strength, toughness, and durability can make up for lack of size.
My only point was that weight does make a big difference in basketball. All other attributes equal (ex: height, speed, metal toughness, etc), someone with more weight is at an advantage than the person with less weight.
Have you seen Carmelo and Kobe Byrant battle 1v1?? Kobe got dominated in the paint, Carmelo's post up isn't even his best offense but Kobe couldn't do anything to stop him even with great defense, just too small. Imagine what Lebron would do with Jordan just physically. I'm not saying it will be one-sided, MJ will probably break down LBJ mentally in 5v5 but 1v1 where LBJ will have the confidence with just physicality alone!!!
Physically?? Mj is

@@mosesmessiah9098 Put some context into it , it was an NBA finals LeBron choked and lost GOAT argument at that point. Even if they won wade would be MVP.
@Power Line Bron lost his one on one vs Kawhi, never had to face Kobe in his prime, and when they did, was never a good thing for Bron, even with Kobe trying to kinda mentor him. And we seeing it more now: LeBron is RUNNING from one on ones. And MJ was better than both Kawhi and Kobe but being similar to them: LeBron would've never accepted a duel vs MJ like he has never done it vs Kobe or he is avoiding Kawhi now, after he saw how he could ruin his game while he was in his prime vs Kawhi's being young. Bron is not build for those one on one things, he avoided that exposure because he is such a freak of nature and a unique type of player, but a final game vs Kobe or this Prime Kawhi would necessitate him to change his game earlier, as he is doing now, a more passing and Magic style of play. Asking LeBron to win a 1 on 1 vs a such gifter guard as MJ is like to ask Shaq to beat Curry on 3s. I mean ok, but what's the point
Michael Atkins YOUR ON DOPE AND DOG 🐶 FOOD!!!! 😳😳
Jordan did NOT dominate the Celtics & Lakers. Jordan struggled against the Celtics earlier in his career & the lakers were on the way out. People have a selective memory of MJ
MJ also feasted on a watered down expansion era and those Bulls teams were always loaded with the best def players in the league.
Has Lebron ever played against a player like MJ?
kobe, kd
Has mj ? No
No but he played a team that lebron nvr played against
Lebron played way better competition not even an argument with that
Dylan Rademacher cake walk
The greatest argument for MJ ever is that MJ would rather be carried off on a stretcher to a hospital than lose that 1-1. Lebron would be fine to lose then make an excuse about it later. MJ wouldnt be able to sleep for weeks if he lost. Lebron would be out like a light. Greeny smashed it with that.
Only people alive during MJ career can comment on this and MJ puts Lebron to shame, I’ve experienced watching both and live, not just on television. MJ would crush Lebron
IM NOT MN FAN BUT LEBRON IS NO MJ AND HE COULD NEVER BEAT MJ 1 on 1
Xxxaaaccbb same here Mj is the 🐐
No bruh absolutely not. MJ never had anyone in the league like lebron, stature, physicality. Same way how mj was ahead of his time, lebron is basically the first demigod of the league. As great a defender mj is you cannot tell me lebron would body that man in the paint
MJ is faster and a better shooter. They asked MJ about going against Drexler in the Finals. They said people are saying Drexler might be better because he can shoot 3's better. Mj said because I choose not to shoot them. The next game he hit six 3 pointers in the first half setting a record the NBA finals. MJ will just go to the next level on someone when challenged.
...... who was Jordan play against
DEFENSIVE??? NOOOOOO! DEFENSIVE??? NOOOOOOO!HAHAHAHAHAH😂🤣
Lebron can’t cover him. Once mike gets the ball the games over
Not true AT ALL, whatsoever. LeBron is better, just straight facts. Better defensive stats, not defensive team but better stats. Look it up!

7 nothing all day...
@@Hinshu85 nah, all 10..
7 nothing
Lebron is the most physically gifted player ever with padded stats since he came out of hs and played against a weak eastern conference for 10 years. Jordan is naturally going to have less stats when you go to school for 3 years and retire for 2 years in your prime but MJ was the better basketball player. So stats don't count. Championships are 6-0 with a likelihood of 8-0 if he played those 2 years. You can't be GOAT when you lose as many times as Lebron has in the finals. When Lebron joined up with his boyfriend for some fun on the beach the expectations were 5+ titles. If that happened he could have passed MJ. Reality is he didn't show up vs an inferior Dallas team and got his ass locked up by Kidd and Barea. Jordan put fear in his opposition come nba finals. Dallas smelled the pussy in Bron
LeBron says: Give me all best player to my team and i det a championship, Jordan says: Give me a ball.
Krzysztof Krzysztof Boom!
Basketball is kinda a team sport and Jordan had help he just never got a situation where he had to ask for help
I don't think you've watched much basketball one man cant win
It’s a team sport not one on one mj needed other to win everybody need other to win in nba
@@GokuBlack-rv8yj ain't no kinda a team sport you have players that never win a championship till they get with the right players no player in the world can win with a team of bums and then sometimes you get a team with no stars that go to the finals cause they play good together even bench players who never played one game gets a ring if the team wins rings don't matter
Did this fool say MJ never played someone like Lebron, who ever that is, how about Karl Malone, Alonzo Mourning, Hakeem Olijuawon, Gary Payton, magic Johnson, David Robinson, john Stockton, the dirty Detroit pistons Dennis Rodman, Isiah Thomas the big white guy from the pistons, Patrick Ewing, Charles Oakley, Charles Barkley, clyde drexler, lebron's competition these days ain't even close to the days of MJ.
Love you comment
yos true, the rder of pistons was fuk him!!!!!!
nah Lebron has gone against the greatest most of the greatest of all time in their positions
Hell yeah LeBron never faced someone like "that White Guy from the pistons"
ughh Larry Bird why yall always leave him out
Forget the stats, the trophies (individual, team) eye test, dominance etc; the statement @3:53 IMHO sums up the dynamic and mentality differences of both of those players and shuts the argument on the topic once and for all. Next.
MJ ran a 4.3 40 yard dash!!!!! NFL wide receiver speed!!!!!! Oh yeah he also had the highest vertical jump in NBA history. 48.5 in vert!!!!! This dude crazy!!!!!!
L Williams wilt ran 10.9 in 100yd dash and has the highest nba vertical ever recorded but okay.
esli garcia wilt was also 7’1. Gtfo with that highest vertical shit
Kenneth Dunn Vertical has to do with how high your feet get off the ground not your height. Scumbag
More lies, Mj's vertical jump wasn't 48.5 inches.
TheAnswerPP it surely was not
I can't believe this is an argument.. MJ been playing with real Gs back then Lebron is playing with kids now.. plus the game now is very sensitive while game back then is more physical..
Truth
Let the media tell you that buddy. “The tough 80s and 90s” shut up lad LBJ would dominate in the 90s, he would average 32,10,9
@@liammcdaid2759 You obviously have no clue what you are talking about lol
Jordan’s competition was less athletic, poor shooters, and significantly less quick. Lebron would average 50 in the 80’s and 90’s.
@@rmx01indiana how ?
Jordan is very strong actually, not weight, but strong, with very wide shoulder and big hands. That actually helped him a lot in the air, he has almost flawless body controls on the air because of how strong he was.
We saw Kobe guarding Lebron on the court 1:1 at age 34 with no problem. With MJ it’s even easier.
Exactly Michael Jordan was just as strong as LeBron as a matter of fact I pick Michael Jordan to be better stronger than LeBron
Stop it. In his prime, the most MJ would weigh was 215. Lebron James weighed as much as 275 pounds during his prime. Jordan wasn't stronger than Lebron, and it's not even close.
Bro y’all Jordan fans gotta stop it bro like fr 😂🤦🏾♂️
@@mike2207 well let's not compare Michael Jordan to LeBron as far strength go we just compare LeBron to Wilt Chamberlain
Why do people keep saying there's never been a player like LeBron? Shawn Kemp was just as physically gifted,in his prime,as LeBron.
Aging Kobe Bryant Blocked Prime LeBron James twice in a row.. and who is kobe? The imitation of Jordan.
Lebron can’t even beat Kobe 1 on 1 how tf is he gonna beat Jordan 1 on 1 😂
YaboyRocky stop smoking crack. Kobe wasn't even the best player on his team when they 3peat.
Rumble Jones ok? Lebron still isn’t beating Kobe 1 on 1. Even Kobe out of his prime would beat him
@@bigmacncheez1775 you smoking lol don't be dumb lebron isnt a joke you forget he can play defense when he doesnt have to save his full energy for playoffs
Look up the all star game highlights when Kobe went 1:1 with Lebron. Kobe dominated while blocking him multiple times
YaboyRocky he would’ve beat Mj and Kobe the same day
Based on style of play. I realistically see a Prime Kobe as the "only" legitimate threat to MJ one on one.
I like that, but I don’t think even kobe would be mike
One on one!!! Lebron would eat jordan up so would Shaq so would Hakeem
One on one every time Kobe and LeBron squared up Kobe ate his lunch🤷🏽♂️. There was a statical breakdown of all their matchups and Kobe was hands down the better player. So there’s no way LeBron would dominate MJ one on one, but it would be a great series
Ha he stole MJs moves nah he don’t beat his master
Give me Shaq
Sheer will and competitiveness of MJ is unmatched. There’s no way he’d lose. When Lebron reaches MJ teaches
Same way he lost in '95 against the Magic.
LeBron won't reach. He's a disciplined defender
@@Aintstunyoahh yea and he came back with a vengeance, he didn't run to another team!
But LeBron is a smart player he wouldn't reach LOL
Lebron was not a fierce competitor. MJ is the Goat in every aspect and I hated MJ
LBJ wouldn't take Kobe at an Olympic SCRIMMAGE when the game was on the line! Kobe took him at the other end.. results Kobe wins... Lebron misses
People forget he played:
Magic Johnson 6'9" 220lbs
Dominique Wilkins 6'8" 229lbs
Karl Malone 6'9" 258lbs
I could keep going... did MJ do poorly against these guys? Did he not strip Malone... take it down the court and then win 6th title?
Just because Lebron is a PF playing PG or SF doesnt make him the craziest physical specimen to ever play bball!
To beat MJ 1v1 takes an equally motivated and domineering person... Lebron would be looking for help in that match up from a teammate or a ref... he just wouldn't win
Jalen kneeling and praying should be the thumbnail
Jay Williams, you're making me speak like Stephen A. Smith and I NEVER speak like that.

The fact that they are "comparing" lebron to mike says it all. Jordan is the meter.
This dude really just tried comparing lebron and mjs competition 💀 😂
@@jordansabourin4978 dude forget records of the NBA at the time for a second and just see who MJ played in his finals (only went six times which isn’t that much). He played old Magic and Kareem, a random guy named Clyde, Charles Barkley (who was in prime tbf), old Kemp and baby Payton, and the chokers that are the Jazz. Lebron has faced the warriors who are the best team in nba history, a spurs dynasty team, and an experienced Mavs team. How many HOFers I hear? MJ faced 7 HOFers while Lebron faced 10 HOFers. Face the facts.
@@jordansabourin4978 only idiots think bron is better than jordan
There's no way on this earth that LeBron is quicker than Jordan! Prime Jordan against Prime LeBron- NO WAY! (Well, maybe now since Jordan is 60)
MJ in his prime VS LeBron in his prime in a one on one game. If they play 10 games I believe that MJ would win about 7 out of 10. The reason I believe this is because his physical gifts combined with his killer instinct were not matched by anyone else in the league. He had a 7 foot wing span, some of the best footwork, some of the quickest defensive hands, a lightening quick step, and the ability to literally jump over his opponents while going to the basket. MJ's specialty was ONE ON ONE!!! MJ was never a good 3 point shooter, but his primary strength was at 2 point range.
Just heard Lebron lost one on one to Wade. So I say MJ wins.
*LEBRON IS NOT BEATING KOBE ONE ON ONE* , let alone MJ
Dre Deda Lebron would beat both imo. Kobe and MJ aren’t that efficient of scorers. 30%+ of their points in games were from the line. In a 1 on 1 there aren’t free throws. I don’t see kobe or MJ making enough back 2 back shots to keep the ball out of Brons possession. But I do c Lebron w his size & speed being able to get around/ drive every play.
Kobe do not play defense. LeBron would injury Kobe.
Dre Deda so true plus the NBA league has been so weak in Laboobs career
Tre One -:U tripping like fuck talking bout Kobe don’t play defense

Jalen doesn't get what he saying. One on one James would beat him.Its not comparing how many awards one has.Its playing game.James is physically stronger,faster and a smart player than Jordan. People create the myths like Jordan never lost at anything. James is reality... living breathing reality.That a great big man will always beat a great little man
stan jones no he wouldn’t lol, you’re smoking crack too 🤨
Lebron wasn’t quicker the Mike!!
MJ would be impossible to stop with today's rules.
Facts he would avg 45 PPG
He would be worse. There’s hand checking and he can’t shoot three’s
excellent point

Huh?
LBJ would have had a bigger problems trying to stop MJ with today´s rules too right?
All kinds of hall of famers already confirmed MJ is one of the greatest 1 on 1 players to ever live they said the only person who could possibly beat MJ in a 1 on 1 is Kobe
Right.
"Possibly"
That's what I'm saying if there's anybody that comes comes close to being Michael Jordan would be Kobe Bryant
Give it up MJ is to small for Lebron its no contest Lebron would dominate him.

Understand 1 simple thing please: Jordan and Kobe played against legends (true basketball warriors), let me say again LEGENDS of the game. LeBron is playing this generation (the NBA instagram generation) against college level made pro players, not legends. I repeat, not LEGENDS. Dennis Rodman, Patrick Ewing, Mutombo, would break LeBron’s neck, ankles, nails, teeth, on LeBron’s first try, and James will problem sue them for attempted murder.
@@patlewis7873 in the nba, 6 rings...don't disrespect black Jesus ever again....lebron bandwagon
Why is this even a debate? There is nothing to debate. Only Lebron fans would insinuate such a nonsensical argument.
That T-shirt Guy Under 30 year olds believe LeBron is the goat... Everyone who saw MJ play knows he's the best. There is a reason people call you the "Michael Jordan" of something if you are the best in it.
You call MJ the GOAT because, you all are brainshawed. MJ was the GOAT of marketing but, on the court you guys seem to forget Hakeem Olajuwon. Hakeem is so underrated I cannot believe my eyes that his name is never mentionned. Hakeem was as strong mentally then Jordan and he was very quick for a Center.
Also, you guys forgot how Wilt Chamberlain was strong and how Bill Russell was smart but, they played in a different era wich is why you cannot compare MJ to these guys. MJ is the one of the best of his era but, you simply cannot say he is the GOAT.
Right
TheBrotherTeam-2014 Russell is a legend but come on man played in a league with 8 teams bro.
TheBrotherTeam-2014 okay but as an overall player Jordan is better than all of them.
That thumbnail is legendary

You can't see who he is debating against so I thought it was MJ
I clicked for that thumbnail
5 years later, and LeClown is not good as Pistol Pete 🙄
He is flopping and flopping and flopping 🤣🤣🤣
Jay Williams played for Duke, Michael Jordan played for North Carolina. Explains everything!
any time a person don't think Jordan a GOD walking, we have to find something out the ass to discredit them.
To begin with, Jordan was playing in a time when the game was much rougher, physical and defensive quite the opposite of the time in which LBJ evolved, Jordan posterized all the biggest centers, Jordan posterized defenses and often had at least two players on the back, planted more than 40pts without shooting at 3 pts was a header and 30 kilos less than LBJ, allowed himself to announce how many points he was going to put and did it, 200 steals and 100 blocks two seasons in a row, in short, MJ was feared by all players, regardless of generation, LBJ never scared anyone.
If Lebron played in that era he would be allowed to play just like them. Hard fouls, hand checking, illegal defense, Lebron would have feasted.
Statistically that's false
As a Trail Blazer fan and knowing Clyde...We all hated MJ and of course the Pistons Bad Boys..The Pistons Bill Laimbeer. Dennis Rodman. and Rick Mahorn. We knew every game someone was going to get it. Laimbeer was a master of screwing with other players heads as well as the fans..lol
Even jason terry aint scared of lbj.
@@MrRGM10 Especially since on this poster LBJ arrives in counterattack three against one to dunk in the back of a guy who is two heads and thirty kilos lighter.
LeBron is not even in the same category with MJ. When it comes to basketball MJ is an artist, while LeBron is a truck driver.
@Trahfk McGhee fuck off
trekteam part of basketball is your physicality and lbj is a better passer and rebounder basically better in every stat except scoring
Jordan would absolutely dominate Lebron 1 on 1. Lebron has always struggled to guard elite offensive weapons such as Tmac, Kobe, Durant, Carmelo etc, Jordan is greater than all those guys I just mentioned. Lebron gets cooked
MJ wouldn't just win, he would take away Lebron's spirit to WANT to win.

Nah, LeBron would win. Suck it up, LeBron is the GOAT. He is better than Jordan. Undoubtedly.
gmmg your a iDoit bro in a one on one lebron would dominate Micheal Jordan he has 50 pounds on him in his prime he was faster more athletic 3 inches taller
I mean LeBron looks up to Jordan so of course he wouldn’t beat him. It’s a mindset thing.

Jalen's played against MJ. He knows from experience that MJ is undoubtedly better than LeBron.
😂😂😂😂😂 I've watched that part 50 times in a row.
Kobe has a better chance of beating Jordan one on one 🤷🏾♂️
Jdp_ 1597 how? Jordan would just predict all the moves Kobe stole off him
@@Wormholt Yea exactly, Lebron is a mismatch for Jordan so he has a chance, Kobe is just a worse version of Michael jordan
@@Wormholt Jordan said the only one who can beat him 1v1 is Kobe.
sooooooo true!!!
Michael Jordan is on record saying Kobe is the only player in the world that could beat him one on one
What they fail to mentions is that when Jordan played he dominated a PRISON FOUL DEFENSE( NO BLOOD JO FOUL) and now James is the KING OF FLOPPING. No matter how bigger and stronger James is than Michael he is not faster and more atheistic. They cloaking Michael and he STILL MADE THE BASKET OR EVEN DUNK.
People who disagree with Jalen don't understand 1 on 1. That's why Kobe without hesitation said he would beat Lebron one on one. Its just between you and him, no teammates to give screens or to pass to when you're in trouble. Its very much a mentality as it is skills or size. I say it's even more a mentality.
Exactly, he asked if MJ played anyone like James. Question has James played anyone like MJ?
@Adam ok with the exception of Kobe, i don't think Leonard has the same level of killer mentality and derozan?
It has nothing thinking anything less of others but one on one, with MJ obsessive mentality and his ability to get in others head. He'd get in James head add to that Jordan found ways to score against the Jordan rules/pistons, sure James is bigger but compared to tha being defended by James is kinda meh. It would be close but skill set+mentality MJ would edge it out.
@@stephenramos2824 You are absolutely right. James isn't and never has been known for his one on defense. He's more of a help defender. They credit him for locking up D Rose who with all due respect wasn't a very skilled scorer like a Kyrie, Lillard, Curry etc. He relied mostly on athleticism.
Like you said the Jordan rules were made by the most defensive team and still couldn't stop him.
Plus lets be honest, Lebron while great bag isn't that deep like Jordan.
@@Godaboveal LeBron's bag is way deeper than Jordan's, Jordan played in a league where zone defense was banned lmfao
@Adam ok karl malone hello?? Also shaq, a much more powerful version of lebron. So what's ur point?? And this is a one on one match so dont ever include lebron's passing lol
Jalen won that debate 10/0 period.
Lebrons defense is overrated, who has he ever shut down? He does not tell the coach give me the best player on the opposite team , I got him!
MJ didn't really play he Reacted. Sam Perkins going to hold out 7'5" wingspan fine I'll have enough Airtime to switch left and put mustard on it...Bad Boy Pistons won't let you score Fine I'll shoot FT 90% and get 12 assists making Paxson best FG%
Look yes it would be close MJ/LeBron. Both Jalen/JWilliams have been able to compete at highest level. What's confusing as all heck is when J. Williams says at 6'9" dominate etc. This has got to be fact both those (Jalen/JWilliams) have played and beat bigger players. How you manage the mental (decide how your going to attack players strength/weakness) playing into Inside/Outside...
@Abi jordan didnt built his team
@@antwalker9430 he cant guard even terry haha
I love Lebron as a person and I love his game. What LBJ is doing this year by putting up 50-spots at 37 is ridiculous. But in a one v. one matchup, it's hard to argue Rose's point about prime MJ being the best offensive AND defensive player. Plus, Jordan at the top of his game would have simply gotten inside of prime Lebron's head. MJ is probably one of the top three trash talkers of all time and that matters in one-on-one. You ever play one-on-one against a bully who has the game to back it up? It's brutal. If past-his-prime Shawn Marion could get inside prime Lebron's head during the Miami-Dallas championship, what's prime Jordan going to do to Lebron? Under the brightest spotlight, Jordan doesn't have those Marion/Jason Terry moments. At the peak of their respective powers, I'm taking MJ.
Nah…
Plus we're talking about a player who would do anything to win (MJ) vs a player who's never cared about winning!!! It's MJ all day!!!
Jordan is only known as one of the top defenders of all time bcuz he could hand check in reality lebrons defense is virtually better and more versatile than Jordan’s according to advanced metrics and he should have a dpoy too. In todays league to be a good defender u have to kno the opposing teams scheme have good footwork and movement while back them u could just arm bar someone into a corner
@@squag3359 I've literally never seen LBJ play defense!!! He's even said in Miami he doesn't get paid to play defense!!!
@@bigdaddystovepipe3314 you’ve never seen him play defense bcuz his defensive lapses have always been highlighted no matter what these past few yrs in Cleveland and Miami he was an unstoppable defender and even had a higher defensive iq while playing help defense and not on ball but he got robbed of a dpoy bcuz of voter fatigue and they didn’t want Lebron to catch they golden boy mj in anything
Michael stopped a lot of legends from winning championships. No way Lebron is quicker than a prime Jordan. Jordan is a one on one player Lebron is not. Lebron is no killer! He don’t even want the ball in the clutch. Lebron doesn’t come close to being a better offensive player than Jordan. Jay Williams is ridiculous. Lebron had two chances in one game against the Nuggets and blew both of them. He even had a wide open shot to win in game one and blew it.
Mr Jalen Rose is absolutely correct. Prime vs prime, Mr Michael Jordan's ultra competitiveness and killer instinct would absolutely annihilate a milk toast, sugar water LeBron James one on one. (MJ was born of competition; James wasn't---remember how he had to defeat his brother Larry and came to blows? And later on vanquish the Pistons after many bitter battles? This guy MJ refused to lose after these victories when it mattered most!!!) MJ would be a nightmare for LBJ to guard. And let's not forget Michael Jordan's defensive prowess! DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR-SOMETHING JAMES HAS NEVER ACHIEVED WITH HIS SPORADIC DEFENSE. If James managed to muster up enough fortitude to even remotely challenge JORDAN, then Mr Jordan would use that slight to turn completely psychotic and demoralize James!-remember what Jordan and Pippen did to their then new teammate Tony Kukoc at the 1992 Olympics? And if a one-on-one championship was at stake, Jordan would simply turn it up even furthur to another level. Superman Jordan simply has too many superpowers, and James has no kryptonite! Jordan would go undefeated, as he did with his own FINALS history. Down goes LeBron..... 💯%. WITHOUT VARIANCE.
This is some weird fan fiction
Question- what rules would be in place, both were products of their era
@@3X3-n3j irregardless of the rules in place, I suspect that LeBron wouldn't have much of a chance against Michael Jordan in any given scenario. I just don't feel that he has the competitive drive and spirit that Michael Jordan has. Although he may be physically larger than Michael Jordan, he certainly doesn't have an advantage over Michael Jordan in athleticism nor in competitive mindset. And certainly not in killer instinct and defensive consistency. Remember how Michael Jordan has locked down on defenders he was guarding? .......

But Shaq is nowhere near fast as Lebron
The point is, beyond all of the stats (which largely favor Jordan anyway), Jordan was tougher mentally. Even in a one on one, that makes all of the difference. It's not just about size. With that mental advantage Jordan could defeat James psychologically and have him fold by the end of the game. The greatest athletes have that; think Tiger, Muhammad Ali, Larry Bird...it's not just size and physical ability.
