Cause truth from players perspective doesnt need to discuss On tv) They need stats to talk about and LeBron that trying to break All stats in nba except chips))
@@Nick-qq7lk he’s only breaking pts and fts made and attempted. Lebron is never coming close to breaking the assists, rebs, steals, blocks, games played record but he’s #1 with turnovers.
To be fair as of today (8/18/22) lebron has played 20 more games than Kobe. Lebron has over 3000 more points, over 3000 more assists, over 3000 more blocks, 17+ more steals and 400 more blocks. I’m just 20 more games, Kobe is basically Derek Jeter of basketball, great players but compared to actual greats his numbers look kinda blah
Jackson is talking with emotions. He says Jordan and Kobe never let you off of the hook and that’s a ridiculous statement that means absolutely nothing.
@@taheemtownsend1003 what too 75 player did he win the last two with? Better yet who’s going to the Hof from those team? You clearly didn’t watch the Lakers
He's not lying. Everything we say is opinionated. But Jordan and Kobe from what I've seen is better to me than Lebron. I never understood how Kobe got bypassed by the media but Jimmy broke it down perfectly. It's a likeable thing 🤦🏽
After his case, Kobe’s Mamba personality brought an edge to him. He flat out called the media analysts out. & then the Gasol trade happened and 3 straight final trips happened… they had no choice but to do em like this.
They forget that it isn’t about stats. They said Kareem was the GOAT after Wilt. Kareem’s stat’s couldn’t touch Wilt’s. Then MJ became the GOAT and he didn’t pass Kareem’s stats. It was self explanatory that if he played in ‘94, ‘95 and ‘99 he would have passed Kareem’s scoring record. Then Kobe was considered the greatest Laker but he never passed Kareem. Now because Lebron is going to pass Kareem he is the GOAT? How do I pass someone who isn’t a champ and become a champ? I don’t see that a lot. But playing in the easiest era to score and doing well in year 19 somehow makes u better, EVEN WHEN U MISS THE PLAYOFFS! 🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
Jordan is the goat by far but Lebron is better than Kobe was. Look at the stats , Lebron is a better overall player than Kobe. Jerry West said the same thing.
Because of narratives for ratings.. They always wanted lebron to be the best player in the league and the goat and that's why before he even touched the court he was deemed "the chosen one". Lol that tells u everything.. Notice when they talk about lebron they say lebron in year 18 instead of lebron at age 36? That's because at age 35 Jordan was winning a chip!
Its funny how actual NBA players who have been fortunate to play against MJ, Kobe, Lebron in 3 different eras the majority of the time say that MJ and Kobe were tougher, better, more resilient, etc etc but we are supposed to take Nick Wrights word for it because he can read things off a stat sheet...LOL. Hilarious.
It’s even funnier that the vast majority of players from any era, including todays, regard Jordan as the GOAT, and all the advanced metrics and analytics that Nick loves say Jordan is the GOAT, and all the stat averages say Jordan is the GOAT, and the number of accolades say Jordan is the GOAT… LeBron only wins in the longevity criteria, but guess what… He’s only played 82 games once in his career compared to Jordan’s 9 times, and he hasn’t played D for half of his career, so I’d say Mike was more durable as well. MJ is the Goat and it’s not even close!
I love it how Nick says.."the other guy" when he talks about Kobe. The dislike from Nick toward Kobe is soooooo obvious. Did Kobe not sign an autograph for Nick?
It's because Kobe went up against 4 Hall of Famers in the 2010 Finals with 1.5 All-Stars as help, and beat them. LeBron, the very next year, goes against 33yr old Dirk, 38yr old Jason Kidd, and 34yr old Jason Terry, with All Stars Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh... and lost. With one game scoring only 8pts. That's why he hates on Kobe.
Hell you think that was bad he couldn't even say Michael Jordan's name oh boy Nick said begrudgingly his name priceless he's just so upset that he wants everyone to be on his bandwagon 😂
That’s a fact, and it showed this year, the way teams just went after the Lakers like it was a field day, I’ve never seen teams try to go after the Lakers like that when Kobe was still playing, teams looked at the Lakers as a easy win, even when it was Kobe and a bunch of nobodies, teams still knew they was gunna have to work hard for that win.
Nah Jim Jackson actually looked like an idiot on this one lol. Nick Wright 4 years later is still waiting for jim Jackson to answer his question lol!!!!
@@user-gi7ec6ss7t watch the clip again and listen. Jim respectfully was showing Nick why Nick was wrong and answered the question, Jim just gave an answer Nick does not like.
Nick Wright pretty much proved that he knows nothing nor has credibility when it comes to basketball when stating that Kobe Bryant being mentioned in the GOAT discussion is laughable. SMH.
This conversation also ignored on court IQ and the mental warfare that takes place on the court. Kobe got into the heads of opponents like Muhammad Ali. Bird, Magic and Rodman could do that on the court too. Kobe’s b-ball IQ was as high as MJ, Pippen and Kidd. If MJ or Kobe had Lebron’s size and strength, they’d have given opponents a different level of fear.
@@dallasborn8574when you're the main reason a team wins it doesn't matter how many turnovers you have. Bron may have less turnovers than Kobe or Mike but he also has the worse finals record all time, less wins than losses with more appearances
Really said maybe 1 year. It’s like all 5 championships kobe got he sat on the bench and let other people do all the work..Kobe’s always been the best player every night you got the best version of him. Not everyone can have the longevity of lebron
This is where I personally agree with Jimmy Jackson. Writers/reporters will never see or EXPERIENCE what the players experience. Two totally different views on players.
True that, it's frustrating to see that not just in sports? But life in general.we see someone do something from an outward perspective and all of a sudden were expert's or we think it's easy. It's annoying to see guy's who have been on the outside try and discredit someone who actually played against the greats.that would be like a tennis player trying tell someone who plants gardens how to plant a flower
Exactly! Writers and analysts have no idea what it's like actually playing with and against pro competition, forget about the best of the best. How it is in actual game time. How players have to read and perform plays. In those moments when the separation becomes obvious between top level players and the best players. Who gives in just a little under pressure and who actually digs deep down and grinds to elevate to another level. MJ and Kobe separated themselves in crunch time from the rest. LeBron reminds me of a high school athlete I knew. He was a freak athlete in high school. He could hit the baseball out of the park across the street into the parking lot. He could easily slam dunk the basketball in games at 6'2". He was a top conference running back in football. He dominated all three sports, and went on to be picked up by the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball team. However once he saw that other players were just as talented as him if not more. He stopped trying to be the best. He quickly got cut from the team due to personal reasons back home. LeBron is a freak athlete, but...he dominates when it is obviously clear that he is the best on the court. However when he runs up against another athlete who is just as talented if not more, and has much more drive in him. That's when LeBron tends to shrink back. We've seen this in his career more than once. That's one of the main reasons why I have never liked LeBron. Thus part of the reason why he jumps from team to team to chase rings. Kobe gave a subtle diss to LeBron James in his last game speech. He said..."we didn't run when times got tough, we stuck it out and over came those tough times." Mamba out! All the greatest players didn't ring chase and bounce from team to team, like LeBron did. I can never respect a self proclaimed GOAT that chased rings by jumping from team to team.
dude, he already lost once or twice in the 1st round and he also never got to the playoffs 3 or 4 times now.. you can check these channels out here in yt.. skap attack and angry old hoops fan.. they break down all these lebron myths in a lot of videos..
My son 17 & we’re huge lebron guys & even he says lebron will take the easy route down the stretch at times, when I was 17, I couldn’t say nothing like that about mj or Kobe
I watched Kobe from beginning to end. I was a fan. BUT if you don’t acknowledge that killer-instinct and the FACT That ppl counted him out after Shaq left (back-to-back Championships) AND NOT listen to the ACTUAL players that played against him… Then you’re a C L O W N!
Yeah straight from high school so of course he has an advantage in numbers but that literally it Michael jordan was a better player all around better finisher ball handler shooter ft shooter steals only thing Lebron has advantage in is blocks which is barely and rebounds due to his position on court
How about LeBron is human and maybe he actually gets tired sometimes 🤔 or maybe just sometimes you fail and don't have it at the exact time you needed it! Do people's failures define them EVEN when they have succeeded more than they have failed🤔 Seems to ONLY be the case with LeBron! Jordan played for 15 years and won 6 championships so, that means he DIDNT win it 9 times. He also didn't MAKE the finals 9 times and got SWEPT IN THE 1ST ROUND TWICW!!!!!! LET'S see LeBron made it to the FINALS 10 times (9 straight), winning 4 Chips! Made the playoffs 14 in 15 year with 3 different teams!
@@vladimirjackson1272 It astonishes me how anyone can try to justify that a losing finals record is better than a undefeated finals record. Lebron made it to the finals 3 more times mostly playing in the inferior east yet still comes up short 2 chips. Jordan on the other hand never experienced a game 7 in the finals & is also undefeated in finals MVPs Wanting to team up with a rival ( super team ) was frowned upon back then & is nothing that anyone who has a competitive spirit should brag about.
@@vladimirjackson1272 Lol really he’s human, you don’t say. The hell outta here with your phony self. A Vladimir phrasing me out with a boy bye comment, simply hysterical!
He is a James bitch from Cleveland ..lol joke Kobe far better got robbed of MVP Nash? Look at the junk teams they gave Kobe Bryant wilt bird maloan James sucks no Defense traveling flopping crybaby
@@auburnfan4life589 That's because James was busy feeding his teammates. James is too built to be smooth. He could always score if he had too...remember he is now over 1000 straight games of scoring 10 or more. 1000 let that sink in. Jordan and Kobe were both ball hogs...ESPECIALLY Kobe who shouldn't even be in this conversation. When they played together in Dream Team games Lebron was the clear star and ALPHA.
@@Veggamattic in the Olympics they literally said in the documentary Kobe was the alpha and leader... most players say Kobe>LeBron and as far as footwork, fluidity, bag, etc. Kobe and Jordan have clear advantages
This debate shows why Nick Wright should always preference his statements as my opinion not fact. Jackson destroyed him logically and used Nick's own sh*tty arguments to beat him over the head.
@@taheemtownsend1003 Michael Jordan played in a lot less games than Lebron - Lebron will of-course have all time stat advantage, compare him to Kareem if you want to compare careers but peak vs peak and per game its clearly Jordan and Jordan played in a time where you could get beat up - like Jackson was trying to say just ask the players... Jordan could have won 8 straight finals if he didn't take a break and was motivated, thats just crazy to think about
Nick doesn’t see what Jimmy is talking about but when you listen to the PLAYERS they will tell you who they think is better and it’s not even a discussion with LeBron and MJ. And the ones that played against all three have Kobe over LeBron. Nick don’t know he’s like Stephen A just a outside opinion
🙄Michael Jordan was defended by 2x All defensive wings in 6 finals. Maybe those are the players that feared him. Kobe took 3 shots in the second half of a game 7 after being up 3-1 in a series. But according to Jimmy Jackson who was on the team he never let his opponents off the hook. This is insanity
@@Veggamatticno it doesn’t Jim is a guest trying to make his point… if Jim Jackson would’ve stop talking When nick interrupted him we would’ve never knew what Jim Jackson point was
Prick Wright had said enough BS in many shows. Why do we need to hear his hateful weak sauce again? Kobe carried Bron and the other greats in the Olympic, when they won gold. Kobe dominates Bron's stats on defense. While Bron dominates in phantom foul calls, flopping, turnovers, and pretty soon, missed shots. @@Veggamattic
Kobe was robbed of it least 2 mvps's Jordan ,Kobe and Lebron are all top 5 people just hate and don't like Kobe therefor he don't get the credit he deserves on The court.
This was an EPIC beat down by Jimmy...I absolutely LOVE that he basically told nick. "Look dude..I actually played against all 3 of'em..so U cant tell me sh**!"😆Players need to do that to some of these cornball analysts more often.💯
Any reasonable person watching this can see that Jim destroyed Nick. He was calm, convincing and very knowledgeable in outlining 20 different ways of why Nick's arguments were shi*.
What's laughable is Nick can criticize Kobe for not being one of the best when Nick is not even good at what he does. His takes are some of the worse right there next to Ryan Hollins.
Nick can scream Kobe blew a 3-1 lead all he wants. Kobe averaged 35 a night, there are only two other players to do that in league history and their names are Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlin, yet somehow he didn't win MVP. Nash had 18 and 10 pedestrian numbers, Chris Paul averages that on a down year and yet somehow was a back to back MVP. Furthermore, that Suns team had Nash Stoudemire Hill Marion Bell and a ton of other elite role players. By comparison, Kobe had Smush Parker, Kwame Brown, Chris Mihm Luke Walton as STARTERS, these players would not start in the D League let alone an NBA team. The fact that team even made the playoffs at all is still the biggest mystery to me and Kobe will never get the credit he deserves for carrying one of the worst NBA playoff teams ever assembled as far as he did.
Kobe didn't carry that team to the NBA finals when both Iverson 2001 and lebron carried their sorry team's to the NBA finals and that's what Kobe has never done before and Kobe didn't have any identity nor his own playing style and he didn't have any impact on the NBA culture and history and both Iverson and lebron both did because when you mimic another player's identity and style then you are seriously not being yourself at all and Kobe can never be Jordan..real talk 💯
@@kingcali6507 kobe has never led a sorry team to the finals like Iverson did in 2001 and like lebron did twice with the cavs and he got swept twice by the spurs the first time and then by the warriors with Kevin Durant,,,lebron has 4 league mvps to kobe 1 and 4 finals mvps to kobe 2 and lebron has been into the finals 10 times to kobe 7 and lebron has always been the leader of his team were as kobe was in the side kick mode until he threw shaq under the bus 🚌 lebron was the NBA rookie of the year in 2004 and kobe wasn't because kobe came out that same draft that Iverson did in 96 and Iverson was the rookie of the year and kobe was on the bench coming out of high school backing up Eddie Jones and lebron coming out of high school started you kobe fans overrate kobe big time and for the record kobe didn't have a impact on the NBA culture and history like lebron or Iverson because he didn't have his own identity nor style,and just because you mimic Jordan's identity and style doesn't make you him and as we say in the hood..do you and kobe damn sure didn't do that because truthfully you can't be what you're not..real talk 💯
I never heard a player in the LEBRON ERA say LeBron is the goat. LeBron actually said "I FELT like I was the goat". All this debate is over a high performing pro athlete talking about how he felt.
What's funny about hearing Nick's take on this is he literally just dug lebron a grave for his 2021 laker season without trying. So question nick, you're telling me a team with the greatest player on the planet can't even make the play in, let alone the playoffs. Thanks for always flipping the scripts nick to prove just how idiotic your takes really are.
LJ isn’t the greatest player on the planet today. When he was the greatest player on the planet, he would have done it, ie: 8 straight finals, who else done that
@@kennethli8 To me the best players in the NBA was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and then LeBron James”” LeBron James was a crybaby always blaming someone else for his mistakes.. when they need a shot in the last five seconds, LeBron can’t stand the pressure and he defers to someone else so he doesn’t look bad….
Oh my god. Just watch the two. One is strong, big, fast and great. The other is just spectacular, amazing, artistic on both ends of the floor. Simply the best.
@@ManOfYah-work-in-progress in another universe, it does matter, Jordan 15 seasons (with a 1.5 yr break then 2more yrs b4 playing for washington) wow a lot of YEARS resting 3.5 and only 15yrs!total (way smaller sample than the other contenders of all time greatest)🤔🤔...LBJ still grinding finishing 20 YEARS! & waiting now for next year...in my opinion. To my disappointment MJ quit to protect his record & to be the Greatest Of All Time.. You have to go thru the grind 15yrs-3.5 not playing=11.5 yrs total years actually played disqualifies him for the title..WILT & Karrem played 20yrs too. Again Mike gets a huge pass. Sorry to end the debate. Any GOAT shld not be a quiter it's a gladiator sport, the weak is not invited.😁😁 (just kidding on last note 🤔🙄🤨
It's crazy when these analysis , talk , talk and talk about this Topic and NEVER PLAYED against ANYBODY ! Just wanna talk NUMBERS ! Well spoken Jimmy J !
@@George-qy9jj don't get me wrong I love kobe and I think he's been historically underrated by a lot of pundits but notice Jim never responded to nicks question about "letting the suns off the hook" in 2006. The media for some reason pushes this narrative that lebron is less of a "killer" than kobe or mj because of his personality but the numbers speak differently...
@@amac9044 heres the thing with kobe, and this is my stance as to *why* he is one of the best to ever do it. If someone comes up to you and gives you a 'top 5" list, and kobe isnt on there, you think "ok cool, I accept that." If they give you that same list and kobe IS on it, then you will think "ok cool, I accept that." And listen to the why(unless you are a fan girl like Nick Wright). Here's my why: just names out of a hat, here is a common top 5: Jordan, Lebron, Magic, Kareem, Wilt. Ok, what is something they all share in common? HIGH draft picks, instant starters. These men came into the league DESTINED for god status. Now, Kobe was taken, 8th i believe by charlotte, I'd have to check, but I think its 8th, if it isnt I'll come back and edit it, but Kobe was the backup to a backup. Del Harris refused to play him. Kobe and DFish backing up eddie jones and nick van exel at the start of his career. And Kobe, who WAS a better basketball player than Shaq, played 2nd option for the 3 peat, but if you go back and look at the numbers, kobe was leading the team after that first year. Its just Shaq was SUCH a mismatch, its easy buckets going against fucking Rik SMits and Todd McCoullagh. But looking at how Kobe was basically handicapped by being a 6th man for 3 years, and that he literally willed himself to be the #3 all time scorer, that is some next level shit. His career avg is liek 25 ppg, think about that. first 3 years as a non starter but appearing in 82 games that hit his averages, and yet he still ends his career at 25 ppg, considering the fact that his first 2 years was a non starter and had 7 and 15 ppg, the fact that he went on such a tear to end his career the way he did, qualifies him for the conversation
Jim Jackson sounds stupid. He made a claim about Kobe never letting players off the hook and then when Nick brought up examples he recanted. It’s not even a close argument between Kobe and Lebron.
That’s a whole fact….. he wouldn’t even let anybody off the hook at his hall of fame speech. He wouldn’t even let the United center employees off the hook gambling in the locker room in the last dance. This guy was a basketcase.
@@williamalexander9485 yeah right ….. your smoking crack …… Larry bird, shaq , Kobe Barkley , the admiral David Robinson , Hakeem olojuwan …. Isaiah Thomas ….. you millennials are on the syrup.😂😂😂😂😂😂
And Kobe shouldn't have been. If every one remembers, in that game nick brought up, Kobe was beefing with Phil Jackson. He was letting his opponents of the hook. He was trying to hold management accountable
@@williamalexander9485 end of the day, Lebron had Jordan’s poster on his wall growing up and only works hard one month before the season starts so he can cycle out 😐 Kobe and MJ were killers ….they worked at least 8 hours a day all year long and didn’t waste their time tweeting nonsensical bullshit and hanging out with rivals …if you hung out with a rival off-season in Jordan’s era you were probably sleeping with that man in their eyes Lebron doesn’t have to work as hard because he was born with the tools that’s why he will never have the heart Allen Iverson would have sonned his ass same era ….the worm would have folded him I don’t care if I am dying I am not being carried out of my job because I have cramps ….I’ll die or crawl out of anywhere before I ask for help like a little ass kid
Kobe's team was trash, they were rebuilding in a conference that was tougher than any that Lebron has ever played in his entire career...This narrative Nick drives that you can't be the best player in the league if your team gets beat in the first round is ridiculous..This is a player who has 7 Finals appearances with 5 Championships won in 2 different eras and countless accolades but Nick Wright would have you thinking he's a glorified role player...I'm a die hard Kobe fan and Nick's part of the reason why a lot of people have a hard time just enjoying the Greatness of Lebron...He's exactly who Jim was talking about, someone who dismisses everything about Kobe because he didn't like him as a person obviously and pushes the narrative that everything Lebron does is greater than everyone else with numbers that lack context and a lot of times are false
M Pheonix definitely agree about the last part but for someone who has watch the NBA religiously for the last 30 years one Conference being stronger than the other is not a myth...During Kobe’s career it was a considerable difference between his competition than lbj..having to play in Conference that had 8 50 win teams at one point compared to 2 plays huge come playoff time, for example James Harden Beat the Durant Warriors more times than LBJ in the playoffs but Harden will get no recognition for it but LBJ will forever be praised and excused by the likes of Nick Wright because he got to play them in the Finals but he beat who to get there? In 2018 LBJ didn’t play not 1 top 20 player to get to the Finals.. I have eyes, the media don’t move me
Media hated Kobe. He was threatening to topple MJ and all his records. Media loves Lebron. He stuffs the stat sheet every game but played in the weaker conference. How many titles has Lebron won playing in the western conference.
Let me ask you this, where do you have Kobe ranked on you’re list of all time greats? Because if you have him anywhere outside the top 3 then you can’t really say Nick is wrong about it being laughable that Kobe should be in the GOAT argument. Laughable was a disrespectful way to put it by Nick but Kobe is anywhere from 5-10 on MOST peoples list and that includes former players and former all time great players so Nick isn’t exactly wrong because Kobe isn’t the discussion for being THE GOAT
who said Kobe isn't in the GOAT conversation, when he played almost exactly like Mike? Many great players put him there. You must listen to writers and fans huh? @@svk_5104
Funny that Nick wrights argument is Kobe is not considered one of the greatest because he didn't make it past the 1st round to Phoenix. LeBron got swept in the 1st round and followed that by not making the playoffs but I'm sure he will act as if it never happened. His heads so far up Lebron's ass that he can see what he had for dinner last night.
You can’t win a playoff series against a great team by yourself, no matter how good you are as an individual player. And commentators always say that the best team will win a seven game series every time. So, there was no difference back then, even with the Lakers being up three to one
Nick cracks me up, they can’t get out of the first round without a good team lol 😂, Lebron couldnt win anything without wade and bosh, kobe couldnt win without gasol and shaq, jordan couldnt win without pippen. The difference is, jordan and Kobe would go 1 on 5 when they were out matched and single handily take on an entire team by themselves and drop 40-60 pts on them. Lebron has to use his teammates whether they are good or bad and if they’re bad he can’t win. He doesn’t have it in him to be the offensive guy to go 1-5. That’s what the difference is and that’s what Jim Jackson is trying to say here. When you play kobe or jordan your always worried, no matter the talent on your team because they’re just going to keep coming after you and not let up for all 4 quarters where Lebron if you pressure him enough he will be more passive and try to get another guy to hit the big plays for him.
"if theyre bad he cant win" What did lebron do in 07, 17-18 then? you cant tell me that 07 team was any good without lebron. Put jordan against the 17-18 warriors or the 07/14 spurs in three of his 6 finals appearances and he goes 3-3
@@jacobkirkner645 How did that 07 team even GET to the Finals if Lebron didn't have some help? Lebron wasn't that good in his 4th season to play all 5 positions. He didn't average 35+ pts like MJ did in 87-88, to get to the Finals in 07, so clearly he had help. The Spurs were never unbeatable like the Warriors with KD. I don't see the 2nd 3peat Bulls beating GS with KD, but they could beat the Spurs.
I wish y’all RUclips posters, would stop using clickbait words in your captions. Nobody got “checked”. These ain’t street niggas, or rappers, nobody got “CHECKED”. This was just a passionate discussion.
Nick is dead wrong on this one. The fact that Kobe got the Lakers into the playoffs and achieved a 3-1 lead on the #1 seed Suns was an accomplishment on its own. Anyone remember the lakers starting lineup from that year?
Jim is so right on this video. Lebron is great at putting up stats, but that doesn’t mean he is the greatest player and it doesn’t always win championships. I have news for Nick, Jordan, Bird, Wilt, and Kareem are all better players than Lebron. I have watched them all play and Jim is right Lebron will always let you off the hook, those other 4 players will not. I would also rather have Kobe on my team instead of Lebron.
@@midnytemassacre, yeah, I said Bird right after Jordan. Bird had better numbers than Lebron on rebounds and free throws. Bird was a better shooter and was more clutch.
Thanks Jim Jackson for checking Nick Wright, players who competed against players have a better perspective on other players. They don't just base it on numbers.nick Wright just be talking because he has lips and a platform that the masses listen too
LeBron is a numbers guy, not that he tries to be, but with his skill set and style of play, he's going to always fill up the Stat sheet, but when it comes to Kobe, and Jordan, they wanted to beat you with their offensive arsenal, they could have facilitated more but that was not their game or way of attacking, and Kareem just had a unstoppable shot that put him in the record books, I mean, imagine a guy who is already 7 feet with a long wing span, that has a shot that is basically unblockable, because it goes up and away from his body and he's perfected the shot so that he hardly ever misses it
You cannot compare the current stats to pre-2004 rule change stats. It's almost as if league scoring is up 30% because defenders can't touch you and bouncing the ball is optional. Bron aint even top 10, and it's not his fault, the league is just set on easy mode so his accomplishments are diminished. Would have been sick to see him play in the 90s. It would have either brought out the dog, or he'd have gone to University.
Mj would never give up, Lebron was called out several times as being a quitter. the coach of the cavs called him out and questions his toughness....you would never ever hear anything like that against MJ.
@@edgewoodaldridge no he retired cause the manger didn’t want the winning lottery ticket. You break up a team cause they are bad. Not because they are going for their 4th straight title
Nick Wright won't let him get a point across without interrupting... Then he forgets several FINALS where somebody may have gotten swept.... may have disappeared.... may have been SAVED by a last second shot.... may jave missed crucial free throws....
When you have to choose the same number mj the you ain’t the Goat. Even Kobe knew that. Kobe had his own number and made it own. Lebron just copies lebron can’t stay on one team. MJ stayed on one team and is 6-0. Lebron has been defeated 3 times.
Why is LeBron ahead of Duncan? Overlapping careers. His team beat LeBron 2 to 1 in finals. He has more rings. The Spurs ran Miami off the court and ended the heat run in the middle of his prime.
He had the best coach ever and four HOF . Thier primes if dwade was in his prime they would have beat the spurs the second time lebron was clearly the best player in those series
Interesting that Nick states that if you’re the best player in the league you should always get beyond the first round of the playoffs. Fast forward to the last three years, two of which the Lakers with Lebron lost in the first round and didn’t make the playoffs at all one of those years,and yet he still was declaring Lebron the best in the league. Hypocrite Nick stop it!!
You can add to that people who never actually saw Jordan play in his prime. The only people who are qualified to be in this conversation or debate are the players who played against both and the people who actually witnessed both players in their prime Good point
It's amazing how actual players can give such a comprehensive explanation on how they judged their opponents, particularly the ones considered as the greatest, and emphatically say how they rate them HAVING PLAYED AGAINST THEM but these statistical analysts try to drive their own narrative down your throat based on "numbers"
Jim didn’t give a comprehensive explanation. He just regurgitated “I played against these guys.” You see the outrageous stuff players say nowadays? Nobody is more qualified than the next guy to talk about basketball. It’s either you know what you’re talking about or you don’t (and that’s proven very quickly). Some of the best in their fields are horrible at teaching, relaying, and passing on information. That doesn’t mean they weren’t great at what they did. Bias’ will exist in every party, and the first step is to acknowledge that whilst also striving to live in as objective a realm as you can possibly be.
"The team with the best player in the world didn't make it out of the 1st round." I can't express enough, how happy it makes me that youtube suggested this video to me, after what just happened to Nick's man crush. L M F A O
The thing that irks me about Nick Wright is that he doesn’t use CONTEXT. He is so quick to dismiss LeBron’s failures from the first eight years in his career (like when he went 0-2 in the Finals on below 40% shooting in one of them, or when in 2009, Cavs with 66 wins were the favorites to win yet they lost to the Magic or in 2010 when LeBron played terribly in a close-out game causing his team to not go to the Finals, etc) but gives Kobe a hard time for not making it out of the first round in the next three years. First of all, his team was straight trash. Absolute garbage. Y’all think LeBron had a trash team for the Finals this year when he had an All-Star, one of the greatest shooters of all time and other good players. The talent was there. Cannot say the same for the 05-07 Lakers. After Kobe, Lamar was probably the most talented and he hadn’t reached his full potential as a player yet (and is generally much more efficient coming off of the bench). Anyways, his team was trash, he was playing in a much tougher conference than the LeBron’s cakewalk of an Eastern Conference and in 2006 specifically, was up against a 60+ win team (a rare thing for LeBron to see in the playoffs). Yes, he was up 3-1 (a freaking miracle) and yes he ended up only shooting three shots in the second half of Game 7. But Lakers were never the favorites to win and Kobe was trying to get his teammates involved. It failed. We all know that. But to use that to say it’s laughable for Kobe to mentioned with these dudes is stupid and uninformed. But, it’s Nick Wright so what else is new?
An anonymous poll by “The Athletic” was taken in 2019 of 27 NBA players that played with or against Lebron, Kobe and Michael Jordan. Out of those 27 NBA players, 22 picked Michael Jordan, 4 picked Lebron and 1 picked Kobe as the Goat. Like Jimmy Jackson these are players that had firsthand experience on how Kobe, Lebron and Jordan played the game of basketball. Jordan was overwhelmingly selected as the Goat by 22 of 27 NBA players that played with or against all 3 players!
Lebron with the Lakers Year 1 Missed Playoffs Year 2 Wins Finals in Bubble Year 3 Knocked Out First Round Year 4 hand picked teammates Missed Playoffs Nick what’s up???
Jim Jackson, Lebron is playing in an era where the slightest bump, push, or touch is a foul. If Jordan played in the era that was gifted to Lebron; there wouldn't even be a debate about GOAT. Jordan would be the UNDISPUTED GOAT KING!
Fast forward to march 2022. A team consisting of Lebron, AD, Westbrookes, Carmello, Dwight Howard, have a record of 31-44 as of today and likely wont make playoffs. This is after getting rid of Rondo and DeAndre Jordan. Lebron no longer plays defense. Spends time on bench looking at HIS stats so he can keep padding them. Nobody give a shit about stats when you lose like this. Literally every all star player traded to a Lebron team plays worse and has worse stats than prior to being traded. So lets stop saying “Lebron makes a team better”. Because if this was true, they would e at LEAST made playoffs w the lakers full of upcoming good rookies. Team w Ball, beasley, caruso, ingram, kuzma, mcgee, rondo, stephenson, hart. Either vets who won a chip, or uprising players that were developing into stars. Im not saying he shouldve made finals but fucking didnt even make playoffs
That’s funny Nick Wright said the team with the best player missed the playoffs Kobe Bryant but he tend to forget the team with the best player in the world LeBron missed play in figure that out lol
I wonder if Nick Wrong look back at these clips? Remember this is Lebron 4th year as a Laker and he missed the playoffs twice and went into the play in tournament one of his year and he was bounced in the first round.
Jackson : Kobe never let people off the hook Wright : what about the year Kobe didn’t shoot in the 2nd half against Phoenix in game 7 Jackson : what about Lebron against Dallas
kobe didnt want to shoot lebum cant really shoot got locked up got choked, Kobe sending message to lakers management that time lebum just got choked🤣😂😂

how do they allow ppl like this on tv?
To be fair as of today (8/18/22) lebron has played 20 more games than Kobe. Lebron has over 3000 more points, over 3000 more assists, over 3000 more blocks, 17+ more steals and 400 more blocks. I’m just 20 more games, Kobe is basically Derek Jeter of basketball, great players but compared to actual greats his numbers look kinda blah
Jackson was spot on when he stated that the GOAT conversation was generational.
Im sorry but this dude is being a dick. Players always stick up for players. It’s Nick Job to be annoying.
Jackson is talking with emotions.

He's not lying. Everything we say is opinionated. But Jordan and Kobe from what I've seen is better to me than Lebron. I never understood how Kobe got bypassed by the media but Jimmy broke it down perfectly. It's a likeable thing 🤦🏽
After his case, Kobe’s Mamba personality brought an edge to him. He flat out called the media analysts out. & then the Gasol trade happened and 3 straight final trips happened… they had no choice but to do em like this.
They forget that it isn’t about stats. They said Kareem was the GOAT after Wilt. Kareem’s stat’s couldn’t touch Wilt’s. Then MJ became the GOAT and he didn’t pass Kareem’s stats. It was self explanatory that if he played in ‘94, ‘95 and ‘99 he would have passed Kareem’s scoring record. Then Kobe was considered the greatest Laker but he never passed Kareem. Now because Lebron is going to pass Kareem he is the GOAT? How do I pass someone who isn’t a champ and become a champ? I don’t see that a lot. But playing in the easiest era to score and doing well in year 19 somehow makes u better, EVEN WHEN U MISS THE PLAYOFFS! 🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
Facts
Jordan is the goat by far but Lebron is better than Kobe was. Look at the stats , Lebron is a better overall player than Kobe. Jerry West said the same thing.
Because of narratives for ratings.. They always wanted lebron to be the best player in the league and the goat and that's why before he even touched the court he was deemed "the chosen one". Lol that tells u everything.. Notice when they talk about lebron they say lebron in year 18 instead of lebron at age 36? That's because at age 35 Jordan was winning a chip!
Kobe, Kareem, and Tim Duncan we’re all better than lebron
I would rank Kobe as 8th greatest player of all time! Just my opinion
Its funny how actual NBA players who have been fortunate to play against MJ, Kobe, Lebron in 3 different eras the majority of the time say that MJ and Kobe were tougher, better, more resilient, etc etc but we are supposed to take Nick Wrights word for it because he can read things off a stat sheet...LOL. Hilarious.
Exactly
Good point
Man you Are Spot On.
It’s even funnier that the vast majority of players from any era, including todays, regard Jordan as the GOAT, and all the advanced metrics and analytics that Nick loves say Jordan is the GOAT, and all the stat averages say Jordan is the GOAT, and the number of accolades say Jordan is the GOAT… LeBron only wins in the longevity criteria, but guess what… He’s only played 82 games once in his career compared to Jordan’s 9 times, and he hasn’t played D for half of his career, so I’d say Mike was more durable as well. MJ is the Goat and it’s not even close!

It's because Kobe went up against 4 Hall of Famers in the 2010 Finals with 1.5 All-Stars as help, and beat them. LeBron, the very next year, goes against 33yr old Dirk, 38yr old Jason Kidd, and 34yr old Jason Terry, with All Stars Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh... and lost. With one game scoring only 8pts. That's why he hates on Kobe.
It’s like nick on clutch pay roll
Kobe probably walked by and.knocked his pen off his desk
Hell you think that was bad he couldn't even say Michael Jordan's name oh boy Nick said begrudgingly his name priceless he's just so upset that he wants everyone to be on his bandwagon 😂
What Jimmy is saying is that any or most NBA player would rather play against Lebron than play against scary Jordan or scary Kobe.
That’s a fact, and it showed this year, the way teams just went after the Lakers like it was a field day, I’ve never seen teams try to go after the Lakers like that when Kobe was still playing, teams looked at the Lakers as a easy win, even when it was Kobe and a bunch of nobodies, teams still knew they was gunna have to work hard for that win.

Bird, Magic and Rodman could do that on the court too. Kobe’s b-ball IQ was as high as MJ, Pippen and Kidd.

This is where I personally agree with Jimmy Jackson. Writers/reporters will never see or EXPERIENCE what the players experience. Two totally different views on players.
Facts let's talk about it on Sports Fire 🔥... See you there.
True that, it's frustrating to see that not just in sports? But life in general.we see someone do something from an outward perspective and all of a sudden were expert's or we think it's easy. It's annoying to see guy's who have been on the outside try and discredit someone who actually played against the greats.that would be like a tennis player trying tell someone who plants gardens how to plant a flower
Exactly!
Writers and analysts have no idea what it's like actually playing with and against pro competition, forget about the best of the best.
How it is in actual game time. How players have to read and perform plays. In those moments when the separation becomes obvious between top level players and the best players. Who gives in just a little under pressure and who actually digs deep down and grinds to elevate to another level.
MJ and Kobe separated themselves in crunch time from the rest.
LeBron reminds me of a high school athlete I knew. He was a freak athlete in high school. He could hit the baseball out of the park across the street into the parking lot. He could easily slam dunk the basketball in games at 6'2". He was a top conference running back in football. He dominated all three sports, and went on to be picked up by the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball team. However once he saw that other players were just as talented as him if not more. He stopped trying to be the best.
He quickly got cut from the team due to personal reasons back home.
LeBron is a freak athlete, but...he dominates when it is obviously clear that he is the best on the court.
However when he runs up against another athlete who is just as talented if not more, and has much more drive in him.
That's when LeBron tends to shrink back.
We've seen this in his career more than once.
That's one of the main reasons why I have never liked LeBron. Thus part of the reason why he jumps from team to team to chase rings.
Kobe gave a subtle diss to LeBron James in his last game speech.
He said..."we didn't run when times got tough, we stuck it out and over came those tough times." Mamba out!
All the greatest players didn't ring chase and bounce from team to team, like LeBron did.
I can never respect a self proclaimed GOAT that chased rings by jumping from team to team.
Arguments for LeBron almost always are "moral victories". He didn't lose in the 1st round, he made it to the finals, he had a great series, etc.
dude, he already lost once or twice in the 1st round and he also never got to the playoffs 3 or 4 times now.. you can check these channels out here in yt.. skap attack and angry old hoops fan.. they break down all these lebron myths in a lot of videos..

Nash had 18 and 10 pedestrian numbers, Chris Paul averages that on a down year and yet somehow was a back to back MVP. Furthermore, that Suns team had Nash Stoudemire Hill Marion Bell and a ton of other elite role players. By comparison, Kobe had Smush Parker, Kwame Brown, Chris Mihm Luke Walton as STARTERS, these players would not start in the D League let alone an NBA team.

To my disappointment MJ quit to protect his record & to be the Greatest Of All Time..
You have to go thru the grind 15yrs-3.5 not playing=11.5 yrs total years actually played disqualifies him for the title..WILT & Karrem played 20yrs too. Again Mike gets a huge pass.

It's crazy when these analysis , talk , talk and talk about this Topic and NEVER PLAYED against ANYBODY ! Just wanna talk NUMBERS ! Well spoken Jimmy J !
I don't think I ever seen Nick Wright so helpless in a sports discussion. Good times.
Jim was all feelings though. Nick was all facts.
@@amac9044 man shut up
What facts? 😂😂😂
@@George-qy9jj don't get me wrong I love kobe and I think he's been historically underrated by a lot of pundits but notice Jim never responded to nicks question about "letting the suns off the hook" in 2006. The media for some reason pushes this narrative that lebron is less of a "killer" than kobe or mj because of his personality but the numbers speak differently...
@@amac9044 heres the thing with kobe, and this is my stance as to *why* he is one of the best to ever do it. If someone comes up to you and gives you a 'top 5" list, and kobe isnt on there, you think "ok cool, I accept that." If they give you that same list and kobe IS on it, then you will think "ok cool, I accept that." And listen to the why(unless you are a fan girl like Nick Wright). Here's my why:
just names out of a hat, here is a common top 5: Jordan, Lebron, Magic, Kareem, Wilt. Ok, what is something they all share in common? HIGH draft picks, instant starters. These men came into the league DESTINED for god status. Now, Kobe was taken, 8th i believe by charlotte, I'd have to check, but I think its 8th, if it isnt I'll come back and edit it, but Kobe was the backup to a backup. Del Harris refused to play him. Kobe and DFish backing up eddie jones and nick van exel at the start of his career. And Kobe, who WAS a better basketball player than Shaq, played 2nd option for the 3 peat, but if you go back and look at the numbers, kobe was leading the team after that first year. Its just Shaq was SUCH a mismatch, its easy buckets going against fucking Rik SMits and Todd McCoullagh. But looking at how Kobe was basically handicapped by being a 6th man for 3 years, and that he literally willed himself to be the #3 all time scorer, that is some next level shit. His career avg is liek 25 ppg, think about that. first 3 years as a non starter but appearing in 82 games that hit his averages, and yet he still ends his career at 25 ppg, considering the fact that his first 2 years was a non starter and had 7 and 15 ppg, the fact that he went on such a tear to end his career the way he did, qualifies him for the conversation
Jim Jackson is spot on. I love these silly pundits that never played telling players who the best is.
Dumb m. Jim Jackson is being a dick and I don’t like Nick.
Jim Jackson sounds stupid. He made a claim about Kobe never letting players off the hook and then when Nick brought up examples he recanted. It’s not even a close argument between Kobe and Lebron.
Jordan not even in conversation of “letting players off the hook”
That’s a whole fact….. he wouldn’t even let anybody off the hook at his hall of fame speech. He wouldn’t even let the United center employees off the hook gambling in the locker room in the last dance. This guy was a basketcase.
Jordan in the conversation with weakest competition ever
@@williamalexander9485 yeah right ….. your smoking crack …… Larry bird, shaq , Kobe Barkley , the admiral David Robinson , Hakeem olojuwan …. Isaiah Thomas ….. you millennials are on the syrup.😂😂😂😂😂😂
And Kobe shouldn't have been. If every one remembers, in that game nick brought up, Kobe was beefing with Phil Jackson. He was letting his opponents of the hook. He was trying to hold management accountable
@@williamalexander9485 end of the day, Lebron had Jordan’s poster on his wall growing up and only works hard one month before the season starts so he can cycle out 😐 Kobe and MJ were killers ….they worked at least 8 hours a day all year long and didn’t waste their time tweeting nonsensical bullshit and hanging out with rivals …if you hung out with a rival off-season in Jordan’s era you were probably sleeping with that man in their eyes
Lebron doesn’t have to work as hard because he was born with the tools that’s why he will never have the heart
Allen Iverson would have sonned his ass same era ….the worm would have folded him
I don’t care if I am dying I am not being carried out of my job because I have cramps ….I’ll die or crawl out of anywhere before I ask for help like a little ass kid
Kobe's team was trash, they were rebuilding in a conference that was tougher than any that Lebron has ever played in his entire career...This narrative Nick drives that you can't be the best player in the league if your team gets beat in the first round is ridiculous..This is a player who has 7 Finals appearances with 5 Championships won in 2 different eras and countless accolades but Nick Wright would have you thinking he's a glorified role player...I'm a die hard Kobe fan and Nick's part of the reason why a lot of people have a hard time just enjoying the Greatness of Lebron...He's exactly who Jim was talking about, someone who dismisses everything about Kobe because he didn't like him as a person obviously and pushes the narrative that everything Lebron does is greater than everyone else with numbers that lack context and a lot of times are false
Countless accolades? Not to be that guy but he has 1 mvp
Sam Hopkins So? That’s the most subjective award there is but he has one along with many other accolades as stated
Pook B were u talking about like all nba teams and all defense teams?
M Pheonix 05,06,07...No Shaq, No Gasol, Bynum was just developing
M Pheonix definitely agree about the last part but for someone who has watch the NBA religiously for the last 30 years one Conference being stronger than the other is not a myth...During Kobe’s career it was a considerable difference between his competition than lbj..having to play in Conference that had 8 50 win teams at one point compared to 2 plays huge come playoff time, for example James Harden Beat the Durant Warriors more times than LBJ in the playoffs but Harden will get no recognition for it but LBJ will forever be praised and excused by the likes of Nick Wright because he got to play them in the Finals but he beat who to get there? In 2018 LBJ didn’t play not 1 top 20 player to get to the Finals.. I have eyes, the media don’t move me
Media hated Kobe. He was threatening to topple MJ and all his records. Media loves Lebron. He stuffs the stat sheet every game but played in the weaker conference. How many titles has Lebron won playing in the western conference.
I always find it funny when people try an downplay what Kobe did man it’s genuinely laughable to me
Let me ask you this, where do you have Kobe ranked on you’re list of all time greats? Because if you have him anywhere outside the top 3 then you can’t really say Nick is wrong about it being laughable that Kobe should be in the GOAT argument. Laughable was a disrespectful way to put it by Nick but Kobe is anywhere from 5-10 on MOST peoples list and that includes former players and former all time great players so Nick isn’t exactly wrong because Kobe isn’t the discussion for being THE GOAT
@@svk_5104 nick is exactly wrong. players universally have kobe higher than fans/writers.
who said Kobe isn't in the GOAT conversation, when he played almost exactly like Mike?
Many great players put him there. You must listen to writers and fans huh? @@svk_5104
Nick said Kobe can't show being MVP on three different teams 🤣
In that case, Lebron can't win multiple championships with one team
He won multiple with Miami

@@cmpbrooks6920 yeah thanks to wade and Ray Allen
2011 happened. Lebron is one of the greatest ever but Jordan was never checked by a role player like Jason Terry. /debateover
@@Dan_the_Great_ please..kobe had shaq whobwas the mvp every year they won. Would not have 5 rings without shaq.
Funny that Nick wrights argument is Kobe is not considered one of the greatest because he didn't make it past the 1st round to Phoenix. LeBron got swept in the 1st round and followed that by not making the playoffs but I'm sure he will act as if it never happened. His heads so far up Lebron's ass that he can see what he had for dinner last night.
You can’t win a playoff series against a great team by yourself, no matter how good you are as an individual player. And commentators always say that the best team will win a seven game series every time. So, there was no difference back then, even with the Lakers being up three to one
Nick cracks me up, they can’t get out of the first round without a good team lol 😂, Lebron couldnt win anything without wade and bosh, kobe couldnt win without gasol and shaq, jordan couldnt win without pippen. The difference is, jordan and Kobe would go 1 on 5 when they were out matched and single handily take on an entire team by themselves and drop 40-60 pts on them. Lebron has to use his teammates whether they are good or bad and if they’re bad he can’t win. He doesn’t have it in him to be the offensive guy to go 1-5. That’s what the difference is and that’s what Jim Jackson is trying to say here. When you play kobe or jordan your always worried, no matter the talent on your team because they’re just going to keep coming after you and not let up for all 4 quarters where Lebron if you pressure him enough he will be more passive and try to get another guy to hit the big plays for him.
"if theyre bad he cant win" What did lebron do in 07, 17-18 then? you cant tell me that 07 team was any good without lebron. Put jordan against the 17-18 warriors or the 07/14 spurs in three of his 6 finals appearances and he goes 3-3
@@jacobkirkner645 How did that 07 team even GET to the Finals if Lebron didn't have some help? Lebron wasn't that good in his 4th season to play all 5 positions. He didn't average 35+ pts like MJ did in 87-88, to get to the Finals in 07, so clearly he had help.
The Spurs were never unbeatable like the Warriors with KD. I don't see the 2nd 3peat Bulls beating GS with KD, but they could beat the Spurs.
Lol this is stupid. There's way more to basketball than Scoring. Jordan and Lebron weren't even efficient scorers.
@@kylechamberlain2246 Jordan was. Lebron really isn't because most of hus shots come from 3ft and less to the rim
@@jacobkirkner645 how do you know MJ would go 3-3. It will never be known. That's the truth.
I wish y’all RUclips posters, would stop using clickbait words in your captions. Nobody got “checked”. These ain’t street niggas, or rappers, nobody got “CHECKED”. This was just a passionate discussion.
Nick is dead wrong on this one. The fact that Kobe got the Lakers into the playoffs and achieved a 3-1 lead on the #1 seed Suns was an accomplishment on its own. Anyone remember the lakers starting lineup from that year?
didnt they have kareem rush at starting point lol
That lakers roster was terrible smh
Smush Parker
Jim is so right on this video. Lebron is great at putting up stats, but that doesn’t mean he is the greatest player and it doesn’t always win championships. I have news for Nick, Jordan, Bird, Wilt, and Kareem are all better players than Lebron. I have watched them all play and Jim is right Lebron will always let you off the hook, those other 4 players will not. I would also rather have Kobe on my team instead of Lebron.
Bird. Don't forget Bird.
Same position, nearly identical stats, but one stat pads and his name ain't Larry.
@@midnytemassacre, yeah, I said Bird right after Jordan. Bird had better numbers than Lebron on rebounds and free throws. Bird was a better shooter and was more clutch.
Jim never made a valid point, and I’m 7 minutes into this.
@@officialtbhoops, okay, I will help you. Take off your Lebron T-shirt and watch it again.
Kobe didn’t shoot because media was he wouldn’t pass, He passed on purpose to show the media what happens when he does
Thanks Jim Jackson for checking Nick Wright, players who competed against players have a better perspective on other players. They don't just base it on numbers.nick Wright just be talking because he has lips and a platform that the masses listen too
LeBron is a numbers guy, not that he tries to be, but with his skill set and style of play, he's going to always fill up the Stat sheet, but when it comes to Kobe, and Jordan, they wanted to beat you with their offensive arsenal, they could have facilitated more but that was not their game or way of attacking, and Kareem just had a unstoppable shot that put him in the record books, I mean, imagine a guy who is already 7 feet with a long wing span, that has a shot that is basically unblockable, because it goes up and away from his body and he's perfected the shot so that he hardly ever misses it
You cannot compare the current stats to pre-2004 rule change stats. It's almost as if league scoring is up 30% because defenders can't touch you and bouncing the ball is optional. Bron aint even top 10, and it's not his fault, the league is just set on easy mode so his accomplishments are diminished. Would have been sick to see him play in the 90s. It would have either brought out the dog, or he'd have gone to University.
I am saying this for years now, this guy and Skip Bayless are HOFs and GOATs of bad takes and sports understanding! Period.
they're the Tucker Carlsons of sports news.
Mj would never give up, Lebron was called out several times as being a quitter. the coach of the cavs called him out and questions his toughness....you would never ever hear anything like that against MJ.
MJ would ask to be put in the tough spot so that he can guarantee the job gets done personally
Lebron even had to be pushed by HIS OWN teammate to guard his man and play defense. Thats Nick's "goat" 🤣😂. Nick's a loser.
Or kobe
@@edkriss1 Jordan retired when the team wouldn’t bring back his coach. Y’all be saying anything lmao
@@edgewoodaldridge no he retired cause the manger didn’t want the winning lottery ticket. You break up a team cause they are bad. Not because they are going for their 4th straight title
Nick Wright won't let him get a point across without interrupting... Then he forgets several FINALS where somebody may have gotten swept.... may have disappeared.... may have been SAVED by a last second shot.... may jave missed crucial free throws....
When you have to choose the same number mj the you ain’t the Goat. Even Kobe knew that. Kobe had his own number and made it own. Lebron just copies lebron can’t stay on one team. MJ stayed on one team and is 6-0. Lebron has been defeated 3 times.

These old nba players hating on lebron is really gotten pathetic. Jim and the rest of these bums shouldn't even be allowed to say Lebron's name.
Interesting that Nick states that if you’re the best player in the league you should always get beyond the first round of the playoffs. Fast forward to the last three years, two of which the Lakers with Lebron lost in the first round and didn’t make the playoffs at all one of those years,and yet he still was declaring Lebron the best in the league. Hypocrite Nick stop it!!
Facts and he missed the playoffs in 19
He’s a clown 🤡
Lebron was injured doesn’t make any sense
Kobe is better then lebron ...if I had to choose who I want on my team im going kobe tf
Listen to what he said people “who’s writing the script”
People who have not played against or together with these greats should be the last people we listen when choosing the GOAT
You can add to that people who never actually saw Jordan play in his prime. The only people who are qualified to be in this conversation or debate are the players who played against both and the people who actually witnessed both players in their prime Good point
It's amazing how actual players can give such a comprehensive explanation on how they judged their opponents, particularly the ones considered as the greatest, and emphatically say how they rate them HAVING PLAYED AGAINST THEM but these statistical analysts try to drive their own narrative down your throat based on "numbers"
Jimmy wasn’t an elite defender. And Kobe never had a season shooting better than 45% from the field. He was a high volume inefficient scorer.
Jim didn’t give a comprehensive explanation. He just regurgitated “I played against these guys.” You see the outrageous stuff players say nowadays? Nobody is more qualified than the next guy to talk about basketball. It’s either you know what you’re talking about or you don’t (and that’s proven very quickly). Some of the best in their fields are horrible at teaching, relaying, and passing on information. That doesn’t mean they weren’t great at what they did. Bias’ will exist in every party, and the first step is to acknowledge that whilst also striving to live in as objective a realm as you can possibly be.
Everyone had an opinion but if the Goat is based on rings then, Jordan, Kobe or LeBron is the goat
Nick wright’s a joke😂😂😂
Someone putting Nick in his place thanks Jim Jackson. You should switch places with Nick Fucking Wrong
I saw Michael play against Orlando front row seats with our basketball team and I saw lebron play in Cleveland it’s not even close.

How you gone PUT LEBRON over Kareen when winning is the Narrative*
The thing that irks me about Nick Wright is that he doesn’t use CONTEXT. He is so quick to dismiss LeBron’s failures from the first eight years in his career (like when he went 0-2 in the Finals on below 40% shooting in one of them, or when in 2009, Cavs with 66 wins were the favorites to win yet they lost to the Magic or in 2010 when LeBron played terribly in a close-out game causing his team to not go to the Finals, etc) but gives Kobe a hard time for not making it out of the first round in the next three years. First of all, his team was straight trash. Absolute garbage. Y’all think LeBron had a trash team for the Finals this year when he had an All-Star, one of the greatest shooters of all time and other good players. The talent was there. Cannot say the same for the 05-07 Lakers. After Kobe, Lamar was probably the most talented and he hadn’t reached his full potential as a player yet (and is generally much more efficient coming off of the bench). Anyways, his team was trash, he was playing in a much tougher conference than the LeBron’s cakewalk of an Eastern Conference and in 2006 specifically, was up against a 60+ win team (a rare thing for LeBron to see in the playoffs). Yes, he was up 3-1 (a freaking miracle) and yes he ended up only shooting three shots in the second half of Game 7. But Lakers were never the favorites to win and Kobe was trying to get his teammates involved. It failed. We all know that. But to use that to say it’s laughable for Kobe to mentioned with these dudes is stupid and uninformed. But, it’s Nick Wright so what else is new?
In 2006 Lebron was up 3-2 not 3-1

Your favs were in retirement in year 19, go sit somewhere loser haha
Nick is the guy that sits behind the computer and thinks he knows stuff. In reality, he can't do anything on the court or field AT ALL.
Jim Jackson, Lebron is playing in an era where the slightest bump, push, or touch is a foul. If Jordan played in the era that was gifted to Lebron; there wouldn't even be a debate about GOAT. Jordan would be the UNDISPUTED GOAT KING!
Fast forward to march 2022. A team consisting of Lebron, AD, Westbrookes, Carmello, Dwight Howard, have a record of 31-44 as of today and likely wont make playoffs. This is after getting rid of Rondo and DeAndre Jordan. Lebron no longer plays defense. Spends time on bench looking at HIS stats so he can keep padding them. Nobody give a shit about stats when you lose like this.
Literally every all star player traded to a Lebron team plays worse and has worse stats than prior to being traded. So lets stop saying “Lebron makes a team better”. Because if this was true, they would e at LEAST made playoffs w the lakers full of upcoming good rookies. Team w Ball, beasley, caruso, ingram, kuzma, mcgee, rondo, stephenson, hart. Either vets who won a chip, or uprising players that were developing into stars. Im not saying he shouldve made finals but fucking didnt even make playoffs
When you say Kobe being in a greatest player debate is "laughable", how in the world are you still on television? ✌️💙
