- Michael Jordan vs Kobe Bryant vs Lebron James - Who Is The Greatest
------------------------The Big Dipper Studio "TBDS"------------------------
I made that mix only for entertainment, not to prove a point on who is the greatest basketball player ever.
Michael Jordan is considered the greatest basketball player ever. He dominated the league for so many years. He won 6 NBA titles.
Kobe Bryant is considered the only one closes to Jordan with a total of 5 rings and the way he plays the game like him. Some say he's better than Jordan.
LeBron James just won his second NBA title recently. He is considered the best all around player in history. Many say he is a freak of nature and no one can stop him.
And you, what do you think?

melvin omar de jesus osorio What does Kobe do better than LeBron or MJ exactly?
I should of been more specific I jus like Kobe More than Mj and Lebron
melvin omar de jesus osorio Word.
lebron surpassed MJ and KOBE at 28 years old. they just got the better team, even the prime bulls wont win against how the spurs played in the 2014 finals .
Except that Lebron had more played games than MJ at 28 years-old and started early in the NBA at around 18 years-old while MJ came later after finishing his college career in North Carolina University.
Speaking about Prime Bulls vs 2014 Spurs, are you joking? Prime Bulls will obliterate them like no tomorrow because the current rule will make Prime Bulls unstoppable especially with Jordan as team leader, Pippen as blocker and stealer, Rodman as the garbage collector in term or rebound, Kukoc as the six man and the rest of bench with sharp shooters like Steve Kerr. 2014 Spurs would have to deal with other 1990's teams first where physical contacts, tougher defenses and big athletic centers ruled before facing Prime Bulls especially the 1996 edition with the historical 72 wins and only 10 losses.
Prime Bulls was THE best team in NBA history. You cant say they couldnt won against the Spurs, becouse its two different era. Anyone who saying thing like that are just retards. Oh and Lebron surpassed neither MJ nor Kobe yet. If he would won this year, then you could mention him with those two, but seeing his performance in the finals, pls just shut up.
look at the stats.
He hasn't surpassed anything, maybe Kobe, but not Jordan. Lebron and Kobe both played right out of high school, Jordan played college and also missed a season and a half when he retired the first time. He would have likely had 8 titles instead of 6 if he hadn't missed that year and a half. Anyone who says that Lebron is better than Jordan or Kobe has not watched Jordan or even Kobe play in their primes, the reality is, James is a top 10 all time player, but not the greatest ever, not even close. Stats don't necessarily tell the story my friend, Anyone who thinks that doesn't really understand basketball.
Yup, your completely right, but trying to convince the modern day Lebron fanboys who never saw guys like Jordan, Magic, Kobe, Bird, etc playing in their prime that he is no where near the greatest ever is like telling a rock to get up and walk, it just won't happen.
MJ > Kobe > LBJ. It's that simple. LBJ ain't even close to the Black Mamba, so putting him and MJ in the same sentence is ridiculous. MJ played in the era of Bird, Magic, and the Bad Boys. That's what made him so GD tough. MJ playing in THIS league in THIS time right now would average 40 a game. He'd be burning alla their asses every night without even trying hard
Kobe=not better then LeBron in any statistical category....well...maybe one...Kobe= the all-time leader...lololol...in....lmaooo...bricks....LOL
Kobe is a winner. Period. MJ is a winner. Period. LBJ? Kinda sorta? Not in the same league with those guys. Plays in a soft era. LBJ would be gettin the hell beat outta him night in and night out back in the days of Barkley and The Worm. And he don't like contact, never has. He may pad his stats, but he'll never be seen as good as MJ or Kobe. That's a fact. LBJ won't win nothing in CLE now that they traded away all that number one picks talent. K-Love? LOL. Great White Hype is more like it.
Spiffy Turtle …. lbj has surpassed kobe so yes he does deserve to be in the same category as mj. Many hall of famers from larry's era said so themselves that lebron would have adapted and still probably the best. Lebron is 270 he would still be doing what he does now in that era. If your going to grade them on anything do it by Finals mvp and reg season mvp that shows who is the best player in the league and best player on their team when they won the championship.
mj played against a lot of washed up players lol. Larry bird was beating that ass until the injuries came. All the players he faced were as old as the fossils still being dugged up. In this era were players are bigger faster and stronger he is not scoring 40ppg sorry.
LBJ surpassed Kobe? How's that? What are you on, acid? LOL
lebrons and kobes defense does not compare to mjs
Jordan Defensive Win Shares - 64.1
Lebron Defensive win shares - 51.5
Kobe defensive win shares - 49.6
Jordan got over 200+ steals in a season 6 times.
- Kobe and James NEVER DID lmaooo
Mj most steals in a season 259. (james 177, Kobe 181)
Jordan got over 100 blocks in an season twice.
- James and Kobe NEVER DID lmaooo
Funny how Jordan is a lot smaller than Lebron and yet is able to get more steals and also get more blocks also
and you say mjs defense can't compare. lmaoo
crack me up you troll
noooooononononono i meant it does not compare because it is so much better then kobes and lebrons.. maybe i should rephrase it lol
Erv Thee Perve there i rephrased it
Ryno7 good because I was going to say you were on drugs or sniffing ass cracks man lmaooo lol lol
lol yea i know mjs defense was the shittt
1. Jordan
2. Kobe
3. LeBron
No I'm fine and also this is just my opinion out of these three.
people like this are annoying!They compare everything!this video gave me good mood after hard work,then saw your comment my all good mood has gone!
Your very enotional
STATIC GRIFFIN thank you
Yeah but I'd rather not
I was a young kid during the Jordan era but I still watched his complete games. I watch Lebron now and he's just top notch. But anyone who's really watched Kobe and the control he can have over the game knows, that man is something else.
look at his career fg%, id beg to differ
Bidwellz9 If you based control over a game on FG% then you really don't know basketball man
Michael Jordan is the greatest player of all time. the only player that should be in the same sentence is Kobe Bryant. Lebron STILL has a long way to go but he will go down as one of the BEST players to play the game. BUT, If you sit there and say you would choose LeBron to have the ball in the last seconds of the game over Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant. You just don't watch basketball.
No.. theres a few players between MJ and Kobe but MJ is the greatest
***** Thank you! West, Robertson, Baylor all could be named over Kobe. Who
In the finals, I would want the ball in LBJs hands first than Kobe as Kobe may chuck it up. For regular season though, Kobe is great at last second shots. Just remember that for every highlight of Kobe forcing shots in, you don't see them misses.
so your saying lebron should be on the same list? not even close
lmao kobe is
Let's just take a look at the NBA Final games records. That's when the games matter the absolute most obviously. Let's see what each record is.
MJ - 24-11, Kobe - 23-15, Lebron 11-15. This really marks who's the greatest. How you perform in the big time moments. That separates the best from the rest
Kobe played with the greatest center in the NBA during the time of his first 3 championships.. the finals MVP in every year of their 3peat
Ricky Moss and Lebron had Wade and Bosh. The 2 guys who he thought would help him win championships in Miami. So my post remains accurate.
Ehh , the 2007 finals can't really be counted. On paper sure but if you watched that series it was 1 vs 5 , everyone can honestly say that. D wade isnt the same. After the 2014 finals its oblivious to even say d wade produced anything. Chris Bosh as well.
So i guess bill russel is the greatest, he never lost in the finals.
leading your team into the playoffs doesnt matter?(season MVPs)... stats? finals MVPs? whos more clutch? whos the better leader? better teammate? EVERYTHING matters..
LeBron isn't as good as Jordan or Kobe.
Jordan.
It's not about rings. It's about the player. And no-one has EVER done it better than Michael Jordan.
how can that be?he was phenomenal player,hands down,but would he be able to carry that miserable cavs 2007 team even to playoffs?
A miserable team doesn't get the best record in the league.
Lebron didn't score every bucket. Make every pass, get every rebound. He had a strong team around him. They weren't stars, but they were playing above their level that season. Yes, he elevated their play, but they were simply nothing more than a well oiled unit that year.
Similar to the 94 Houston Rockets. Outside of Hakeem - they had no big hitters, yet they still steam rolled everyone and won a championship because they played TEAM ball.
Of course Jordan could have done the same with the Cavs.
daveberg69 he went to miami and cavs won maybe 20 games,thats not miserable for you?
So again - I ask, did Lebron score every point for Cleveland? Did he get every rebound? Did he play 48 minutes every game? Did he play 1v5?
Of course he didn't - it was a TEAM effort. Of course he was the defining factor, but the team played out of their minds that year, I watched enough of their games to know that. It's just a fan boy myth that LBJ did it 'all on his own'.
Nobody does it alone. Teams win games, not individuals.
antonio basic when you say miserable how about the bulls back then? they were 2nd worst team in the season for jordan got drafted then came MR. jordan then what happened? the CITY EXPLODE w/ hopes.... so tell cavs was miserable than bulls
MJ was the innovator Kobe was the imitator Lebron loves his vibrator. Amazing video
Dr j invented mjs style of play don't get it twisted..diff is Mj perfected it
cray 3K for sure Elgin Baylor as well
Omg that's the closest thing to the truth that I've ever heard 😂😂
Wilson Pereira r england iz gud
cray 3K Dr. J didn't invent shit. MJ didn't "steal" his moves. Everybody can "steal" moves, but only a few can do them. And MJ didn't even watch footage of Dr. J growing up.
Learn this formula kids
23>24>6
That's not a formula. It's also wrong.
*correction* 23>8>6
correct.....
LeBron's number was 23 at first
LeBron's number was 23 at first
Lebron James is not even in the discussion!!! The Illuminatit has chosen him and he is the man at the time. Nothing more nothing less. Great Player and all but he is not better the Jordan or close to it and not even better then Kobe. If it wasnt for Wade, Ray Allen and Chris Bosh helping bail him out he wouldnt even have those Rings.
Basketball is a the team orientated sports so when we argue about the greatest the only thing you can bring up is the statistics n_b_a championships take a team to win not 1 player so rings is definitely the wrong way to rate a player Championships were all that mattered Bill Russell would be the greatest player of all time and Robert Horry would be better than the Charles Barkley and we all know that's not the truth facts are LeBron is a career 27 points per game with seven rebounds and seven assists Michael Jordan is 30 points per game with 6 rebounds 6 assit and Kobe is 25 points per game with 5 assist and five rebounds
Men lie women lie numbers just don't and please keep in mind that basketball is a team sport in just because a player has more rings than you doesn't mean he's better than you that's like saying dereck fisher is better than allen iverson
Just because you are a fan of a player doesn't mean the player that you back is better then the player you don't like it's extremely clear that you are a Lebron hater
If you put Mike, Kobe, and Lebron Career stats up against each other Lebron wins in no category, i mean nothing!!! So how in the hell is he better then MIKE or KOBE. The man didnt even win the MVP this year, he is not even the best now. KEvin Durant is killing him. Men lie, Woman lie..numbers dont.
marshbey lebron averages more points per game rebounds steals blocks and assist then kobe look it up on google #FACTS
1 000 000 views on my channel !! Thank you so much !!!!
And stay tune, big projects are coming =)
It's unfortunate that some people down voted the video. You really put a lot into this video; some people just can't appreciate and many don't understand the time put in.
Lebron no fight for MJ that's all......
Music like that , Pearl harbord soundtrack!!! But, Jordan's the god, LJ and KB are simple mortal...
JOHAN ACOSTA good comment but sorry man LBJ is the only mortal for walking off the court in the finals for a cramp. Kobe shot two clutch free throws with a torn Achilles. But without Dr. J there would be no Jordan, without Jordan there would be no Kobe or Lebron.
Arthur Gomez without Larry bird, Magic Johnson and others there would be no Jordan. Genius in the place smh
Best video on RUclips hands down!!!
KJ2832 Thank you !
KJ2832 i agree
Alvaro Merino yup Uzbekistan rn BBQ y TX fb TX f WV t even sends Web Da WV Fa sc Z eh ta ra gm ta go TX tv gf tv TX ta ra Dc ra eff ra sec
There you have it folks the answer is simply Kobe Bryant
1985 - 1998 MICHAEL JORDAN
1998 - 2011 KOBE BRYANT
2011 - present LEBRON JAMES
Worlds peace you were right about shaq but kobe was the best from 03-10 in 2009 or 2010 reporters went around the league asking the leagues players kobe or lebron all of them said kobe except 1 and magic took back what he said about lebron being better than kobe and kobe was better hands down until 2011
myles hernandez They're just giving kobe the benefit of the doubt since lebron was only like 24 years old and hadn't had a chnace to compete with the team he had
Lebron might have more sheer ability and Kobe might have more pure grit, but nobody can put it all together like Michael Jordan did. That's why he is the greatest.
FACTS!
50+Win Teams Beaten In The Playoffs(SERIES won NOT games):
Kobe - 24
Jordan - 20
Lebron -7
Jordan is GOAT! Jordan and Kobe faced harder competition, Lebron is GREAT and GOAT SF, but he has always had cakewalks to the finals!
Jordan > Kobe > Lebron
RBTheBreakThrough Ah, the greatest SF thing is debatable, but nice to see a productive comment on this video XD
***** Does it? I believe it does. If Larry Bird is a better small forward, in what way could Lebron be a better player?
***** Okay.
Shooting: Bird-9 Lebron-7
Passing: Bird-8 Lebron-8
Rebounding: Bird-8 Lebron- 7
Athleticism: Bird- 5 Lebron-10
Defense: Bird- 7 Lebron-8
Mentality: Bird- 9 Lebron-6
Ball Handling: Bird- 7 Lebron-8
Bird: 53
Lebron: 52
Bird>Lebron :)
***** Bird was averaging 6-7 ast most of his career
Very similar passers tbh
***** Lebron is 6'8.. Bird is 6'9 xD
But I agree yes LBJ is a more skillful passer but Bird was just as good at MAKING plays :P
Incredible video. Respect to each of these players. The game wouldn't be the same without any of them
I like what was said here: "they deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Michael Jordan" true, but MJ STILL is the greatest. Never forget that he played on the hardest era of the NBA, where hall of fame talent was spread all over the states, where defense wasn't limited by stupid rulings, where teams were so much physical than it is today and Jordan could play on both sides of the court not just offensive.
i feel like lebron couldve dominated in tha era too. he plays both sides of the ball very well and todays nba has got it in his head that everything is a foul back then he wouldve adapted his shooting game a lot faster since he knew he'd have contact every play. but yeah mj will be better until lebron gets the rings a far as skill in my opinion the are just about equal. kobe is just a scorer so in the mj lebron kobe list he is
I am a huge LeBron fan; however, the glaring difference between LeBron and MJ are those defining last 2-4 minutes of the game. MJ had that intense mental toughness and LeBron wasn't born with that. Instead, LeBron is trying to develop it and he has surely come a long way (but still not close to Michael). In the end, LeBron is a much nicer person than MJ was... and 'Nice guys finish last'.
Next, Kobe was cut from a similar cloth as MJ, but he will never reach the level of admiration that MJ does. Simply because many people discount 3 of his 5 rings as being won by Shaq (avg. 36 pts in 3 Finals) and not Kobe (avg. 23 pts in 3 Finals).
***** He played a role for sure. But being a role player is different than being the team's MVP. Jordan was Finals MVP with all 6 rings. He was never ever a role player as Kobe was with Shaq.
MJ IS THE GREATEST OK. He can't be surpassed unless Lebron wins 4 more titles and becomes clutch as MJ
TheGiantKiller8 In my eyes, Jordan is the best individual player and had better teams. But Lebron is the best overall player who makes his teammates much better than they are. For instance, when Jordan left the Bulls to play baseball the team still made it to the eastern conf finals. When Lebron left the Cavs they became the worst team in basketball (over 60 wins with him, the over 60 losses without him the next year).
CDiP2277 MJ was a 1 man team bro. Remember he left the bulls, the bulls lost that year, MJ came back and they won.
Solito/AllMyPeopleLoco I would pay money to see MJ play against 5 other NBA guys, please. Overall, the Heat were not the best team. They had no rebounding or down low presence. Any one of Jordan's Bulls teams (without Jordan) would crush last year's Heat (without LeBron). Wade is done and Bosh is maybe a top 20 player. Why does everyone forget all of the Hall of Famers Jordan played with? I'm not knocking Jordan, individually he is better than LeBron. But we could speculate and argue all day. The single fact in all of this is the Bulls made it to the Eastern Conf Finals after Jordan went to play baseball. That is irrefutable. Saying the game was harder then only proves my point more that the Bulls were a great team. Saying who is better at defense in certain situations is speculation, NOT FACT. Were are the numbers to back that statement?
Lastly, some people may forget Jordan's ridiculous talent, but most give him so much credit it makes me sick. Case in point, saying he could beat 5 NBA players single-handedly. That comment is pure stupidity.
Damn dude, Michael talking at the end with the music you put in. Fucking gave my goosebumps. Really beautiful way to end the video bro. Amazing mix showcasing 3 of the best players to ever play the game. Re-watching MJ's speech at the end as I type, goosebumps all day.
MJ is the greatest and it`s already over for Lebron to catch him, just like Kobe. So the conversation is between Kobe and Lebron and as of right now, Kobe is better on pure career. At the end, I suspect Lebron will be ahead of Kobe but you never know what can happen. Injuries etc.
MJ, game for game, stat for stat and the era he played in objectively show his as the GOAT.
MJ - 41011 minutes played.
Kobe - 45567 minutes played.
Lebron - 33276 minutes played.
Kobe ran out of time and Lebron is soon to follow. MJ's stats are insane if you consider he only really played 11 seasons with what he did.
your basing your opinion on championships which is wrong. I'm not saying they don't matter but they arnt everything.
averagehotguy Championships are everything, that's what they're playing for, that's all that matters in the end
so what you are saying is that mj is not the best basketball player because he doesn't have the most championships.
mj left nba for 2 years.
To end the discussion:
Lebron - Greatest physique.
Kobe - Greatest Scorer.
Jordan - Greatest Player.
This discussion will never end.
MJ and Kobe have the most heart in basketball i have ever seen, their passion in the game inspires me, they created what is known today as the NBA and basketball itself, words cannot describe as much greatness and skill these two individuals have in something that is just a game but then more then one.
1.MJ
2.Kobe
3.LBJ
*As of now.
MJ and Kobe. No one else is on that level. Lebron is on the level with Bird, Magic, Kareem, Wilt and Durant. I like all the guys. Jordan was rare and amazing. But Kobe has done things with
a ball that is insane. This guy was easily the most naturally gifted. Ask Phil Jackson.
Did you just put Kobe above Magic AND Bird? Kobe isn't even the greatest Laker, Jordan is the GOAT but LeBron COULD surpass him but the way people/media put a certain criteria on him, I doubt that he'll do it. Larry AND Magic are way better than Kobe and both were all around players, Durant isn't even up there with Larry, Magic, or Wilt. Kobe is great but don't be so disrespectful. I can argue that LeBron has already surpassed Kobe on the all-time list.
samonthecreek
You as a Lakers fan put Kobe over Kareem and Magic? Shame on you!
TheULMOnaut Kobe has more rings than those two, but Kareem and Magic TOGETHER are more valueable that Kobe.
Dennis Leavitt Kareem alone in his prime or Magic alone in his prime are both better than Kobe alone in his prime. Magic has 5 Rings and 3 Finals MVPs, Kareem has 6 rings and 2 Finals MVPs.
TheULMOnaut
BAHAH. Okay.
I don't think they realize still avgd 20 points pg. Plus a 50 point, and multiple 40 point games at age 38-40 . ..still kicking young ones' asses :) #23
Kobe been playing since 1996 before Lebron james fans where born jordan retire from the nba when Lebrons fans where 3 yrs old. Mj and Kobe are 1. And 2. Lebron just quits on a team when they lose and finds the easy way out.
***** young buck, take a seat. the manh as spoken the truth
So what that you are 25? Ive been in basketball for a long time, and i for one can state the fact, that you can only compare MJ to mamba, because 1st of all LBJ is a forward not a guard, and second. 50+ teams won against (KOBE 24 MJ 20 LBJ 7) winning is what matters, case closed.
Your comment should have 1 million likes
+Logan blue hell naw for you to say Kobe is not near lebron for one is very disturbing how can you be a great but can't dribble properly?? Kobe WILL go down top 3 he's already considered greatest Laker.....only stat that matters are 6-0, 5-2, 2-4
+internet thug 😂😂 we are talking about lebron crybaby James if he's such a great we're does he show up in crutch time??? He's good not better then Kobe.....when his team is down he runs let Cleveland mess around and have a bad season....lebron gone be🚶🏾✈️
I have watched this way too many times lol. Very nice job on the video!!!!!
You guys are totally underestimating Kobe. He is a better shooter than Lebron and Jordan put together and he is the most clutch out of all of them. Kobe is the best one on one player EVER and WILL go down as the BEST BASKETBALL PLAYER TO EVER LIVE. Period.
We are not underestimating Kobe he is ONE of the greatest to ever play the game no questions asked all you haters can fuck of but I'm just saying that there is a reason why Jordan is know as THE greatest of all time…plus I have disagree on Kobe being more clutch than jordan
How is Kobe a better shooter than Jordan or LeBron when he is the only one out of the 3 players that has never shot over 50% in the regular season and is currently #1 in the history of the NBA for missed shots?
Kobe shoots around 30% FG in game-winning situations for his career regular season or playoffs, Jordan shot 58% in the regular season and 50% in the playoffs for his career.
Kobe is as unclutch as everybody else in the league today.
dmana3172
There is nothing wrong with Kobe Bryant, he is a legend, but at his age an injury as he had can mean the end of the good times. But aside from the injury problems, in years past Kobe has virtually stopped playing both ends of the court. His defensive aggressiveness only came in spurts, which is not enough, when you're a team leader. I think, even before the achilles injury, Kobe had slown down a bit stamina wise and therefore he concentrated more on his offense.
jordans numbers and fg% even 3pt % is higher. would you like to edit your comment now?
Jordan had to deal with the best players who ever played the game,Mourning,Ewing,Robinshon,Bird,Barkley,Parish,Rodman,Olajuwon...and many others
Is that Lebron or Kobed fault that thay werent born in that era then?
Literally none of those players guarded him and he never guarded any of them genius. He couldn't even guard Magic his buddy Pippen had to take it to him.
Arthur McArthur are you sure he couldnt guard magic? hahah being funny?
When Lebron career is finally done, he'll have done it against the best to ever play the game..talking about Durant, Kobe, CP3, Camelo, Tim Duncan, Paul pierce, PG and many others.. lol
so....????
We are seeing who is the greatest right now in these NBA Finals.
Nah son
Shawn Johnson yeah, he did a really great job in game 4 LOL
And his excuse? he got cut by tackling a camera and not having enough sleep. LOL, Jordan play a game with a Flu before, collapsing after the game. Kobe shot free throws even though he got a career-ending injury, while Lebron? saying he isn't playing well because the air conditioning is not functioning properly xD.
Shawn Johnson in your dreams
MJ had better shot selection than Kobe. Pure physical basketball talent; I think they are equal. Ive seen Kobe physically do everything Mike could do. But Kobe emulated his game after MJ. MJ emulated no one. He created the phenomenon of himself (the gold standard). Mike wasnt trying to be better than someone else, Kobe has always been aspiring to be Mike (not his fault just the way it is) If Kobe would have stayed with Shaq and won 7 or 8 rings? I dont know if it would have helped is case. Maybe. 81 points against any team is certainly a feat that Ill always remember Kobe for.
Finally someone doesn't think MJ wipes the floor with everyone
And if Jordan don't want to experiment with baseball got 9 rings Lord's of the rings
We are not talking about Dr j
Actually MJ said himself that he emulated his game from watching David Thompson.
one word, PER, these are the career averages for Per for each player
Lbj: 27.8
Mj: 27.9
Kobe: 23.4 nuff said
Also these are the top defensive ratings among the players(the lower the better)
LBJ: 102
Kobe:105
MJ:103
Mj PPG 30.1
Linh Nguyen OK that was Random
not enough said dont forget steal rebounds assist... plus lebrons career isnt over once his career is over we will see who the best is
Justin Marquez Per includes steals assist and rebounds
1 jordan 2 lebron 3 magic 4 bird
What a great video! It is edited and put together beautifully. I thoroughly enjoy this piece and look forward to viewing your other works. Keep up the good work Big Dippy Studio!
Adam Butt Thanks !
The definitive list
1.MJ
2. Kobe
3. LeBron
End of story
lol nigga u wrong
MJ >> Lebron >> Shaq >> Kobe
Kobe was shaq's sidekick...........MJ & Lebron are leaders of their team.
lebron has not earned the right to be in this argument yet
He earned more than just the right. It's an insult to basketball if you don't include him.
***** Absolutely. Kobe's strong suit is scoring, LeBron's is basketball.
Kobe has 59 game winners to lebrons 4
Kobe can play great defense
***** sensitive lebron fans...
the greatest player is ..................................... KOBE BRYANT
the greatest dumbass is ..................................... Qasagesrg Sqerger
William Wong no need to be angry just because you love LJ.
***** LOL, I don't like either Kobe nor L.J. But I respect their talent and skills.
lol
MJ BOY
Y'all all arguing who is this best...I'm just sitting back admiring 3 of the greatest basketball players to ever live...
That was beautiful. I have my opinions, but will keep them to myself. Good job on the vid!
N° 1 Michaerl Jordan ( clearly)
N° 2 Kobe Bryant
N° 3 James.
numbers wise Lebron should be number one
Dane Chauvin ya lebron is da best
So you're telling me that Lebron is Better than M.J and Kobe?
Llama Liban when Lebron retires, yeah mine is Jordan,Lebron, Kobe (statistcally),
Now it makes more sense, but still Kobe will be better then Lebron just my opinion.
Lol they put lebron in here,kobe and jordan are just on a different lvl
The competition factor has to come up, MJ had to go up against better comp. back then when they were playing actual defense. Besides Spurs, Thunder, and maybe Clippers what other legitimate championship teams do kobe and LeBron face?
pacers maybe bulls
yes less teams that are good but the tams that are good way surpass most teams when mj played the thunder and rockets could beat every team but maybe two from MJs era but the spurs would have beat the bulls
countrysinger89
the spurs probably would've beat the team that helped him get his first 3 championships, but the 96-98 teams I don't see it. And I could see the Knicks, Rockets, Suns, Sonics, Jazz, and Pacers from MJ's era giving the rockets and the thunder from this era hell in a 7 game series
MJ played vs the best, bird, magic, hakeem, malone, stockton
Jordan DID NOT playgainst better competition than Kobe and LBJ , dont even try that , watch the tape ..only difference was hand check
If there is one thing that can shut up the Lebron lovers is... Lebron's shooting form looks like a high-school freshman center that's shooting a basketball. Especially the ones that just started playing. It looks like dirt that's what I'm trying to say. Plus, MJ and Kobe changed the game of basketball by becoming the icon of NBA. Lebron hasn't reach that level, yet. In my opinion, Lebron isn't even half as influential as Allen Iverson who revolutionize they way people look at NBA basketball.
Agreed!!
ok,his shooting form isnt as beautiful as kobes or mjs,so what?he shoots 3s 40% this season
Who gives a crap about how it looks? It should be based on if it gets the job done, and it does. And don't bring in being influential when we're talking about skill at BASKETBALL, not how much you can change people looking at it.
It should be noted that most kids like cool things. And if it looks cool they do it. Nobody likes to have their shooting form to be called ugly in this new generation. People like to say MJ and Kobe when they shoot for a reason. Anyways, I do like Lebrons dunks they look powerful.
Matt Nussbaum Jordan at age 39-40 had a better jumper than LeBron has right now. God Damn Jordan at age 40 shot better % from Mid range than James did right now in his prime. lmao
This vid is amazing!!! You earned a subscriber!
W8 Entertainment Thanks !
LEBRON JAMES IS THE BEST PLAYER TO EVER PLAY THE GAME EVER EVER EVER, LIKE EVER
Richmon Banaag Really Mature coming from someone whos name is Richmon Banaag the u hve no room to talk
Idiot
***** who?
***** ? whats an owls? wht do u mean
***** ???????????/ im so lost i dont get what ur saying
U need to watch basketball kid
one of the best videos i've seen
Les J D Thank you !
Lebron doesn't take the final shot in games. no clutch gene.
3:15
DoU EvenLift lol nice
***** posting a time in the video makes me an idiot? Interesting.
Did u see mast years nba finals game 7? LeBron took the last shot that basically sealed the championship smh also there was two LeBron game winners in this video *facepalm*
David Jung er, no he didnt- no Ray Ray, no title in game 6.
Jordan kobe lebron
You know what's sad about these constant MJ/Kobe/Lebron comparisons? Larry Bird had a better career than both Kobe and Lebron. Yet Larry always gets left out and people talk MJ/Kobe/Lebron like they're the 3 greatest swingmen of all time.
That's true. But it's just young kids on the internet, that don't know anything about history. They don't care about anything that happened pre Justin Bieber.
Kobe and mj are guards doe
mcoeif dude larry bird would be dominated by these guys kobe and lbj are super athletic and would blow past him
cuz larry bird is white
Marvin Hidalgo just like dirk and zach randolph are dominated like the unathletic scrubs they are. Dominique wilkins was as athletic as they come and bird toyed with him. Stupid logic
Nice Vid... All great players, but Kobe has put in WORK in 3 eras (MJ,Kobe,LBJ) Good Video The Big Dipper Studio for not being bias...
MJ and LBJ cannot be compared. They played in different eras plus they're two different players. LBJ= Size/Strength over Skill. MJ= Skill over Size
they can be compared, who left their losing team to go to a sure thing instead of working for it? who would you choose to take the last shot down 2 with 1.2 seconds left? would lebron play even though he has a fever and riddled with the flu? all these things can be compared and to me i dont care if lebron scores the most points ever, hell never be jordan or kobe
Bidwellz9 haha your just another person that hates lebron for what he did and won't ever give up mj
yeah i do hate lebron, but that has no bearing on what i said...lebron will never be mj and thats the opinion of hall of famers so ill go with them.
Bidwellz9
Dude are you seriously ripping on LeBron for leaving a team the he could not win with? May I remind you that Michael Jordan left not just his team, but the entire NBA and went to play baseball. What is the goal of every NBA player? TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP. LeBron knew that he wasn't going to get another chance with the Cavs and left because he wanted a championship, its not like he did it to be a dick.
*****
He didn't leave to 'be a dick', of course. But the manner in which he left, he presented himself as nothing but 'A dick'.
W/o getting into a year long debate, Kobe is the goat.
Thats healarious
What arguments do you have to say that kobe is better?
RIGHTEOUS! Kobe is the GOAT everyone
heydood1000 Jordan has 6 :)
Erlend Torås eye sea water youtube diddle there
That was an AMAZING video!
1. MJ
2. Kobe
3. Lebron
kobe vs jordan would be the greatest one on one, not jordan vs lebron. skill vs skill not skill vs Force and size
you think LeBlowJob Queen, could muscle his way around MJ, that's cute :D
lol
lebron makes his teammates better, without lebron in miami. miami heat players are already a better player. the only reason why lebron makes his teammates better in our eyes is be ause he shares the ball pass the ball isnt it?? but the true about that is, when he is double team or in a rough D. he will not hesitate to pass the ball because he cant move shoot the way kobe jordan tmac iverson dwade even durant do. thats why lebron is efficient cause he choose his shots wisely, easy layup fastbreak dunk open shot, thats what also seperate kobe and mj to lebron. mj and kobe can handle that no matter how tough the situation is. what can they do if their teammates BELIEVE or RELY on them if theres no one who is open to make shots, ATLEAST kobe n mj prove to us many times how good they are without the help
and lebron fans call ot ballhogging which is really not.
I had a feeling you would post on one of these videos again. I didnt even go to your profile. lmfao!
Your last sentence defines why Lebron is better than them for a team. He doesn't force anything.
Lebron 99 rating on 2k
Micheal Jordan 99 rating on 2k
Kobe 93 rating on 2k
nuff said
that comment made me sick, that was the dumbest and stipidiest comment, he use video game as his basis? That was Fucking stupid.
1.Mj 2.Kobe 3.Lebron
Michael Jordan is the best in terms of everything from skill to rings to dominating the game
JORDAN>KOBE>LeBRON
brace yourselves LeBron hate comments coming in hot.
Ikr lol smh
Very beautiful video. Good work.
MJ during his prime 1st 3 peat championship - 1991 32 and 11 APG average, 1992 35 and 7, 1993 finals record 41 PPG and 9 rb… all on blistering efficiency and .450 from 3, ridicullous steals + turnover ratios. Lebron hasn't even sniffed that once. When Lebron has a 45 point playoff game, its one of the best games of his career. MJ AVERAGED 45 PPG in a playoff series (1992 against Miami). It's really not close. 10 scoring titles damned near consecutively, the year MJ played point guard he averaged 32, 8 and 8, closer to a triple double average than Lebron or Kobe's ever had. He has more legendary moments in the finals than anyone by far - 1991 12 field goals straight and "the move" against the lakers, 1992 the 6 3's in a half finals record and "shrug" 1993 the record PPG and game winner, 1998 the "flu game" a game winner, game winning assist, and of course last game as a bull the consecutive lay-up, steal, and game winner pad-on-the-butt to Russell. Lebron and Kobe are amazing, but MJ was legendary. Winning DPOY and scoring title in the same year? Meaning he was best on both ends of the court? That's insane. NBA record 72 win season? 2 3-peats straight, ALWAYS outplaying his opponent? Lebron's let his matchup Kawhi win finals MVP, Kevin Durant outscore him, his own teammate Wade and Dirk outplay him, as well as Duncan/Parker all in the finals. Who ever outplayed MJ? Exactly. Most amazing - he did it in an era where rules allowed big men to dominate, wait in the lane, and guards could not score as easily. He did it at the shooting guard position, unstoppable midrange game. As Lebron ages, he will decline fairly rapidly. He won't be averaging 30 at age 34 like MJ, let alone 23 at age 39, shattering oldest player scoring records. Can you imagine Lebron averaging only 3 PPG less 9 years from now?
6-0 finals , and MVP
KB vs LJ = KB win, MJ vs LJ= MJ win but I think the best one on one ever will be MJ vs KB.
on one on one. no place for lebron. kobe vs jordan !
1 on 1 Battles
LeBron vs Jordan = Jordan
LeBron vs Kobe = Kobe
Jordan vs Kobe = Kobe ( believe me )
What a great video. Congrats
MJ,Kobe,Lebron..but that is just those three,for those of us who have watched many players that get left out of this equation such as West,Baylor,Robertson,Kareem,Wilt,Russell,Bird,Magic are just a few that should be in the conversation but many 30 and under always leave them out. The game changes,styles change and the older taped footage may look a bit dated and comical to the youth,however,you take any of the great players and put them in this era and they would be just as good and probably much better! Why? Imagine those players with todays rules where you cant hand check or use a forearm on defense the way you could back in the day? Kobe played when that kind of defense was still played but guys like Bron,Melo and todays players have no idea of how physical the game was back then. Yes,players may get bigger and stronger but if the past generations had the same nutritional info,workout equipment and supplements one can only imagine how great they would be! Imagine Wilt with todays advantages! Imagine a Jerry West that is even stronger and faster and with a 3 point line..how many would he average? How bout Nique with some of today's equipment..how much higher would he jump? He already jumped higher than most can imagine..unless you ever watched him play live!! So,yes,its fun to compare and that is what sports is about,however,it is very unfortunate that today's youth totally forget the past,heck,Kobe was considered the best in the game as recent at 2010-11 and even after one of his best seasons ever last year,he was totally left out of the conversation despite changing his style to a Lebron style for a stretch and doing it as well as any! All of them are great but there is that competitiveness that you see in MJ and Kobe that I think separate them a tad from Bron. Last years all-star game was a perfect example,can you imagine had another great player challenged MJ or Kobe in that game and blocked their shots on consecutive attempts?? They would have KILLED to get some revenge...Bron just sort of shrugged it off and that was it. I think that is the one thing lacking from the package for Lebron. He is competitive but doesn't have that "win at all costs or die trying" attitude that MJ,Kobe or even Bird and Magic possess. I don't think he was quite as tough mentally as those two. Well,we can debate forever and it will remain a matter of opinion. Peace.
we all know MJ is the GOAT. the real question is "who is the next best to MJ" for me it's KOBE. But i know that lebron is gonna pass MJ and KOBE statistically based. but the talent, the love, the impact, the passion that mj and kobe had. i think no one is comparable to them.. maybe in future :) for me MJ>>>>KOBE>>> then the next generation is LEBRON=,KD ROSE=CURRY=HARDEN=WESTBROOK ETC. :) :) :) LOVE NBA! :)

Stop comparing and just appreciate greatness
look ppl. I'm a Laker diehard, but I say that Kobe is the closest to being the next MJ, HOWEVER he still has a long long way to go. In fact, I agree with what he said, he's not trying to be the next MJ, he wants to be the first Kobe. as for who is the best between MJ, Kobe and LeBron, why don't we wait until both Kobe and LeBron retire then we'll debate who's the best.
True
good idea
Lebron James is one hell of an athlete. A stud but he has no heart. Kobe Bryant wants it more, Lebron hopping from team to team thats what killed it for me....
No-one will ever be as good as Michael Jordan not in my lifetime at least
I don´t need to know know who is best of these guys, I just enjoy what they are capable of...
Jordan is king LeBron is not worth calling king Kobe is 2nd by Jordan because of mental skill Jordan all the way
LeBron is better than both of them...by far.
***** Haha Ok. Whatever you say.
***** "Not counting his last two years" ahha. Good thing that you took out his two worst years.
***** You can't conveniently leave out injury years. Otherwise Grant Hill would be better than Larry Bird. Secondly, LeBron plays in an era that is far superior to both the 80's and 90's. Defensively and thereby offensively(since it's harder to score). Also athletically and that's not even debatable.
LeBron > Jordan
***** Wow in 2006. That's a big difference when it's half a decade later. And if you replace Jordan with LeBron in the 90's he would have won as much if not more due to MJ playing baseball.
Jordan carried the load? Is that why he won a single playoff game before Pippen came to the Bulls? His record was 1-9 across three different playoff series. Jordan's team was so good that whenever he went to play baseball, the Bulls only lost two more games the following season without him. Yeah, it sounds like he really carried the load.
JORDAn- work so hard to improve their skills footwork technique and jumpshots .
KOBE- just read the above
lebron- work so hard to improve his body physique to use , not footwork skills like kobe n mj, FORCE
5
6 x NBA Finals, 6 x wins, 6 x Finals MVP.
Says it all really...
At the end of the day, kobe bean bryant will be the best who ever lived.
anyone who says that has no idea about basketball
*****
I agree. Not everyone likes Kobe Bryant. So people stop trying to make us like someone that we don't and that's KOBE BRYANT. Great response to the other person.
well MJ said kobe is better so..
What about Tracy McGrady?
but i mean he is as still good maybe even better as these guys being portrayed up their
yea true and they were more healthy but now kobe is starting to shut down
McGrady was an offensive monster, but not that great on defense !
Adam de leon HAhahahha
People act like Jordan invented the post fadeaway.....
why are people arguing over who is better?just enjoy watching them play.we should be happy,who knows when we`ll see such great players in the future
Kobe and Lebron have played basically their entire career under lax defensive rules that intentionally favor perimeter players. No handchecking and the middle opens up every 3 seconds equals inflated stats. Jordan did it in the toughest defensive era in NBA history. #1 all time in PER, #1 all time in PPG (regular season AND playoffs), #1 all time in blocks for a guard, #2 all time in steals, #3 all time in rebounds for a guard, multiple steals titles, only player to have won the scoring title and DPOY in the same year, 6 championships in 8 years, 2 3peats, 6 Final MVPs, 5 reg. season MVPs, at one point posted 10 triple doubles in 11 games, etc. His Bulls had beat the most number of 60 win teams on their way to the titles. Jordan had to work much harder to earn his championships. I have seen him literally get punched in the air then punched again on the ground. In comparison, Lebron and Kobe had/have it easy.
lets not act like the reason the nba is soft today wasn't because of jordan. He made it soft with the jordan rules remember the bad boy pistons? glad were on the same page now
gerizzyYMcrew then you must not have seen jordan play for his WHOLE career
Are you kidding me bro? Rules got lax around 2006 to now.... Kobe played half his career with Jordan like contact and to this day doesnt flop at all. Lebron started his career with real contact but became a flopper and a foul go getter...
No point stating the obvious to uneducated NBA fans,they will,and always will have no idea on how terrible the modern NBA is.
Could you imagine what a prime Jordan or Bird could do in todays league,lol.
there is just one thing that put leBron behind MJ nd kobe... LeBron flop toooo much....
kobe flopped and so has mj so stfu
mj flopped?? you dont know what you talking about lil boy... go play with your toy and let the adults talk
edgar morales lmaoooo
Oh my god
Could you imagine MJ in lebrons body=UNSTOPPABULL
differents competitions, differents players, differentes time, that all i need to say
I think MJ and Lebron are the two best players of all time. They are equally skilled in different areas. Kobe is 2nd because he was just like MJ play wise just not quite as good. Out of all three of them neither is a lot better than the other, they are all relatively close in skill level which is why this video exist. So please if you are going to make an argument over whos better than who at least give all 3 their respect.
Point wise is Kobe because he scored the 3rd or something like that of most points in the nba, A great teammate and shooter is Lebron no contest and Micheal is both so Micheal= Kobe+ Lebron
Cameron Kennard Kobe isn't really a better shooter. His shot percentage never ever reached 50 in his career. He passed Jordan in term of total FGs but he played 200+ games more and has more seaons.
kobe more skilled then both doe
just not as good as mike? man kobe has all around game better ball handler and shooter then mike look at numbers and avoid competition all u want
Cameron Kennard Fool if kobe is such a much better shooter than Jordan why does he hold the record of most missed shots in the nba. Seriously he holds the record of most missed shots in the nba.
Michael Jordan is the greatest without a doubt.
But to say Kobe Bryant is better than LeBron James is just wrong, Kobe is/was a great player and all but he is no LeBron James. The ONLY argument for Kobe Bryant being better is the fact that he has 5 championships and LeBron only has 2. However, Kobe Bryant had significantly better teams throughout his career, All-Stars/All-NBA WHILE on his team (Yes I know All-Star Selections hardly matter but people like them):
Eddie Jones (2x All-Star 1997-98)
Nick Van Exel (All-Star 1998)
Shaquille O'Neal (7x All-Star 1997-2004, All-NBA 3rd 1997, All-NBA 2nd 1999, 6x All-Nba 1st 1998,2000-2004, MVP 2000)
Pau Gasol (3x All-Star 2009-2011, 2x All-NBA 3rd 2009-10, All-NBA 2nd 2011)
Andrew Bynum (All-Star 2012, All-NBA 2nd 2012)
Dwight Howard (All-Star 2013, All-NBA 3rd 2013)
LeBron James played with:
Mo Williams (All-Star 2009)
Dwyane Wade (4x All-Star 2011-2014, 2x All-NBA Third 2012-2013, All-NBA Second 2011)
Chris Bosh (4x All-Star 2011-2014)
Kobe Bryant teammates: 14 All-Star, 4 NBA Third Team, 3 NBA Second Team, 6 NBA First Team, AND A LEAGUE MVP ON HIS TEAM.
LeBron James teammates: 9 All-Stars, 2 NBA Third Team, 1 NBA Second Team.
Of course Kobe Bryant has more championships, he has had better teammates, basketball is a TEAM game.
Kobe Bryant is a great player, one of the greatest, top 15 of all time without doubt, probably top 10, and even top 5 depending on how you look at it, my opinion top 10-15.
But I am sorry, LeBron James is just better. He might not be top 5 yet but will most likely end up there (I can see an argument for him being there right now already).
LeBron has 4 MVPs, Kobe has 1.
LeBron has 2 Finals MVPs, Kobe also has 2.
LeBron has better regular season AND playoff stats than Kobe, he has a better FG % and 3-point FG %, he has more rebounds, steals, blocks, points, and assists per game in both the regular season and playoffs. Only stat Kobe has better is Free Throw shooting and only by a little. LeBron also has better "clutch shot" percentage (last 24 seconds of close game).
People love to blame LeBron for losing in the finals 3 times, but Kobe Bryant also lost twice in the finals, it happens to everyone. The only "real" loss that LeBron could have changed was 2011, but he played poorly, it happens to everyone, Kobe Bryant shot 6/24 in a NBA Finals game 7 but they still won (Not taking anything away from Kobe, he was incredible that playoff run). The 2007 Finals was a joke, and LeBron played great in the 2014 Finals but his team just wasn't with him and got beat down by an incredible Spurs team.
I'm not a die-hard LeBron fan or a Kobe hater, both players are great, but facts are facts.
LeBron James is the better player.
MJ IS THE BEST
Fuck it, its my choice of a starting 5
PG - Magic
SG - Kobe

Kobe had 3 of 5 better defensive seasons WHILE not in his prime
What we will never see but I feel is the true measuring stick would be seeing how Jordan played today, with today's competition (in his prime). True Jordan was ahead of his time in terms of ability and the game was very physical in terms of fouls that were allowed during Jordan's time. Nonetheless we cannot ignore the 1 HUGE factor that simply can't be denied. Player's today are bigger, stronger, and faster than they've ever been which means there would be less need to foul a player to stop him. Instead we're seeing them flat out play defense. Every now and again you will see the "smart foul" to stop the easy score but in most cases players are WORKING for the points they earn on the court today (as they should).
Smh. MJ is the ONLY player in NBA history who could take a time machine from the 1980's and play today 30 YEARS later. AND yes HE WOULD still lead the league in scoring and steals.
Greatness is something you DO NOT understand. ALL the greatest player's in the last 20 year's have been studying MJ. ALL have failed....
MJ IS a nuclear bomb in the history of the NBA. He was beating the best player's BEFORE he even was in the league (1983 usa vs nba all stars). His 12 seasons stats with the bulls ARE better & WAY BETTER in the playoffs then Lebron's Lebron NEEDS more work and reminds me of a Karl malone/Scottie pippen hybrid. Scottie was a BETTER defender also. And as if you didn't know MJ would put 60+ points FREQUENTLY on Scottie in their many practices.
The size of Lebron is overstated, Shawn Kemp would dunk right on his ass. The league today has DEVOLVED just like people today. It's soft, and just like studies have PROVEN, people today are LESS smart then before due to reliance on TECHNOLOGY. While people have more multitasking abilities, their memory and individual thought HAS DECREASED.
EVERYTHING NEW *IS NOT* BETTER. And even non athletic Larry Bird would give Lebron trouble. It's about SKILL, IQ, CREATIVITY. Lebron like a lot of players are just manufactured copies, robots. He WILL NOT be remember as MJ has been and will continue to be.
TranscendingPolygons you clearly have some feelings and thoughts that shouldn't be directed towards me and because of this I started not to answer but I'll say this: I'm an MJ fan first of all and I truly recognize what it is to be GREAT! This is why in no shape, form, or fashion would I attempt to discredit Lebron even though I'm a bigger fan of Kobe. Both of them are greats. Another thing is that if there's anybody who says time and physicality has nothing to do with the advancement or progression of the game is simply CLUELESS. I'm not taking shots at you man but the denial of such is just insane!!!
TranscendingPolygons addressing the technology statement: We aren't talking about robots here, talking humans and the 2 besides MJ in this discussion are individuals with very high basketball IQ's. If Kobe's moves aren't creative enough for you then I don't see how MJ's moves would even make for discussion here. REALLY! Especially when MJ claims he's stole all of his moves.
J. Thomas Prolifyk J
1) My apologies first of all. It would seem I was directing my thoughts on the subject directly at you.
2) Clearly, there are things for you to still learn about BB. Kobe for example ONLY copied the "old MJ" from 95-98. Kobe *could not* have copied young MJ, because *no one* has done some of things he did. Not before his time and not since. We see pieces of it here and there in all the players of the last 20 years.
3) Having watched MJ start out and the following...
Grant Hill
Penny
Allen
Kobe
Vince
Tmac
Lebron
Durant
MJ in many ways is still better then these players. And not just statistically and achievements either. But on so many other levels also.
4) A few interesting facts not many people mention. Look at the beginning and end of ALL the greatest players in NBA history. You will notice how most of them start off slow like Kobe for example (not Jordan) and when they get to the end of their career, "the new upcoming" players beat them as they get older. In Kobe's case it's Lebron and Durant. This occurrence happens *a lot* in the NBA history. BUT when MJ left the Bulls he was still top dog at the end of his career, even though MANY players tried to show him up. And when he was a rookie (unlike Kobe) he was schooling the MVP of the league.
Even when MJ was 40 years old and still breaking records with the horrible Wizards, he would still hold his own against all the top guns. Usually by that time you're lucky if you can come off the bench and put up 10 points. You'll understand this as you get older.
MJ changed his game after his first retirement comeback, into a more post up/shooter player and still lead the league. Just in case you don't know, that has NEVER happened before in the NBA. Everything Kobe is doing MJ already has done, *BUT* Kobe has great longevity, which cannot be denied. Here's hoping he can play well for a couple seasons.
5) Lastly, what are the most athletic players today in the league? Because I think I know the answers to that question, and I can of a number of players who can match those players in speed and leaping from the 80's, 90's, 00's. How much more athletic is today's game? Is it sooo much more athletic really? Don't bother bringing up Griffin, Jordan, Westbrook, I've already got counterparts for those guys.
Btw it's a GREAT thing you like Kobe, diversity is everything. When people have different favorite players, that's a good thing for the NBA in imo.
you are out of your mind. Jordan played in the era of the NBA that has the best players who ever played. Todays NBA dont hold a candle to what those days had. I can tell you are a youngster just by your comment.
6>5>2
11>7>6 Russell and Horry are better than MJ then. And steve kerr is Kobe's equal too. According to your ridiculously moronic logic.
raul Rolon dude your a moron if you think Russell is better than mj
raul Rolon
What's the title of the video dumb ass?
So just because the video only mentions Jordan LeBron and Kobe makes what Russell did irrelevant?
Go and comment that in a Bill Russel video or Horry
What a video!!! Great job. THE REAL BIG THREE
This video might be the best video I've ever seen!!
Kobe Bryant is a better shooter than Mike and LeBron
Better shooter then LBJ YES! MJ HELL NO! Look at who had the better field goal % between them. MJ by far!
Ruben Santana Think about it Kobe is the greatest shooter. We aren't talking about layups we're talking about mid range and 3's fadeaways tell me whose better in that category mister.
Mister? Easy choice MJ! At the end of the day votes come in Michael Jordan is the G.O.A.T!
Well MJ is the best but still SHOOTING!
Davin Herrmann Kobe only shoots more 3ys, that's about it. From mid range even 3pnt % MJ is better, and this is all according to NBA shooting charts that only go down to 96, leaving MJ's best years out.
OK let's get one thing straight, Lebron James IS NOT FASTER THAN Michael Jordan. Period.
Yes he is
No he's not lmfao you've seriously got to be kidding me if you think he is.
Lebrick is technically faster but mj is better
No. Lebron said he can run a 40 in 4.6 MJ was clocked at 4.3. MJ's first step is legendary
Lebron ran a 4.3 in highschool... Just go look at scouting reports and yeah now he's a 4.5 but he's gotten stronger over speed which in the NBA you don't need great speed to get in the lane Lebron can go in the post if he really wants to so yeah speed isn't the most important thing to Lebron now if he was a pg who would have to drive to get in the paint and mj wasn't as physically big so yes he needs speed of power to get in the paint
Here's how I see it:
Michael = Legend
Kobe = Greatness
LeBron = Potential
