Nobody's does what Michael did daily. He was a highlight reel every game. Nobody's jumping 48 inches, nobody's hanging like Michael. You know nobody's close
His aerial anarchy is like nothing we have ever witnessed. I once saw him change direction in mid-air against Clippers at old LA Sports Arena. He took off baseline and ended up a few feet in front of rim. I had to look at replay on jumbotron to make sure my eyes hadn't deceive me.
Im 53 years old and from chicago. I watched all of MJ's career, all of Kobe's career and some of Lebron's career as much as I could stomach. I can tell you now Lebron can't touch MJ. Those highlights you watched of Jordan, he played like this EVERY GAME. Every game he played was must watch tv! I know you heard this from tons of people in my age group, but Jordan sits on TOP of the GOAT Pyramid.
Stop it haha why can’t they both be great? Lebron is 100% a more all around player. Jordan took the shot. Lebron facilitates. Mj is the goat but saying Lebron doesn’t compare is just stupid haha
LaFlop plays in the NBA with rules that are 100% geared for offense….. Today’s game is nothing more than horse and will the shooter make it or not ..garbage🤪🥴🧐😵💫💩
100% accurate! Mike was faster, smarter, better. No contest. MJ was a better all around player, offence, and especially defense. He was also a lot tougher (compare number of 82 game seasons, knowing Jordan's era was FAR more physical. Had he not quit to play baseball, he would have 8 rings.
First of Michael played with all those guys you were talking about and Mike wasn’t the only guy doing moves like. The biggest difference is Mike did it every single time he played and the whole game he was like this.
If you were to watch LeBron’s best highlights and then watch MJs best highlights, you’ll realize quickly that they are different like day is to night…LeBron’s 3” taller and weighs more than MJ, but MJ was dunking on guys much bigger, stronger, faster, and more athletic than LeBron since his first year in the NBA…MJ was doing all that and more!… in fact, he was doing those kinds of things throughout his entire career against hall of famers, legends, all-stars, and super stars…I’ve seen Dr.J., Bird, Magic, Kareem, Shaq, Kobe, Wade, LeBron and it seems that MJ was so much different in the way he played…MJ played the game as if he was just having fun while dominating whoever he went up against…he was a true UFO/E.T. on the court.✌️🎤🔥🐐👽
@@champagne.bigroeLeBron's play style is different; maybe someone of his size and frame should mimic his shooting, free throw, and driving skills. I think if I copy his play style, I'd look like an idiot. I'm not saying he looks like that because he can score with his unique posture and shooting form, but I feel like it's hard to replicate LeBron's style since it's tailored for him, considering his size, frame, and exceptional skills.
Yeah I'm born in 86 and their ain't nobody more electrifying than Micheal Jordan he made basketball basketball now people don't watch it because they can't find another Jordan
Ok young buck. You say that you’ve never seen MJ play but you’ve seen LBJ play. So when old heads who watch both MJ and LBJ play tell you that MJ was better just accept it. We’re not just saying it to be funny towards the younger generation, we’re saying it because it’s true. Even with all of the athleticism of today’s generation we are still confidently saying MJ was better. It’s because it’s facts.
And it has nothing to do with generational bias. reggie miller has the most beautiful shot that i have ever seen. His stroke was pure his for beauty. Until steph i thought he was the best shooter in the NBA. Steph isn't from this planet, ir the bal has a magnet on it. MJ was an alien
There’s no one today doing it as well as him today or any day. He’s the goat. There’s no thinking about it. Watch the definitive comparison, mixtape, voyager 1 and 2, best defense, best passes, playing point guard, who had the best seasons video. That one makes it obvious who’s the goat, and records that will never be beaten. Then you will have no questions on who’s the goat. If Jordan was playing now a days he’d still be dominating the same way. Probably more due to rule changes and how soft the league is. His competitiveness alone wouldn’t allow Lebron or anyone else being better. He wouldn’t stop until he proved he’s the best. Lebron wouldn’t.
LaBron without DOUBT is one of the GREATEST ball players EVER! But Nobody beats Jordan. I’ve watched dude play from college throughout his NBA career. Kobe is the ONLY player to compare. It’s that KILKER INSTINCT that most don’t have. Kobe had it though. No doubt.
He went through the most scrutiny 😂😂 they said jordan couldnt win when he went against the pistons and celtics.. said he dont pass said he cant shot 3's .. but ig lebron scrutiny from tweets makes him the goat 😂😂😂😂😂
DR. J is where Jordan got some of his moves. There was another player that jordan patterened his play after, Walter Davis. Check him out and you see that he was doing what Jordan was doing before Jordan.
Hate to tell ya, MJ didn’t start all that stuff. He was so good at it that it feels that way. People have been doing that stuff for a long time. It’s just more readily available for viewing now. For example, Magic, Bird, and Dr. Jay were people Mj learned from and picked up lives from while adding his own flair. That’s how things have always been bro. “We stand on the shoulders of giants.” I forget where that quote comes from but it applies to sports.
That's one reason why they called him air Jordan. Just wondering if you've watched Michael Jordan's historic bull's mixtape. Watch all Michael Jordan's videos and you'll see why I'll always consider Michael Jordan the G.O.A.T
If you go way back you should see how Dr. J on how he palmed and dunked the ball. Before Michael Jordan there was Julius The Doctor Erving 😊 Michael Jordan and Dr. J had something in common, they both had hangtime and big hands to palm the ball.
Luka idiolize bron but he isnt as dominant as bron nor athletic as bron but dude is crazy gifted with talent and skills tho luka never said he want to be like bron and he also said mike the GOAT, like you can be their inspiration but they knew jordan is the GOAT.
Videos that prove MJ is the GOAT: -MJ Rare Voyager -MJ Best Defender -MJ vs Pistons “The Jordan Rules” -MJ Trash Talking with KG -MJ As A Wizards Player -Best GOAT Comparison by Danger Productions
I respect what you said in your intro. At least you are going back and checking MJ out. As someone who has seen MJ play on TV and in person, just trust me man, he's the GOAT
That is a low-resolution highlight. The same plays and others are better presented in Bull's mixtape, edited by the NBA. Then you can try rare video Voyager part 1 and part 2, defensive highlights, rookie highlights, and MJ to the MAX (IMAX) if is available (high-resolution movie about the 1998 championship/playoff).
I love that you are appreciating Michael’s play you watch the highlights I watch every second of every minute of every game I’m going to raise the cargo, so yeah, I watch him play North Carolina want to play with two gold medals with the Olympic team yeah people keep forgetting about that right to gold medals six MVP six MVP finals yeah MJ all day according to Larry Bird, any Michael Jordan is god disguised as Michael Jordan for real
If Jordan played in this era he would stand out just the same. He outworked everybody else. Players in this era do not have the same laser focus and especially lack the ravenous hunger for victory on the biggest stage.
Only resistance to Jordan in this era would be zone defense...I remember when he made his second comeback, rules had changed that eliminated the 'illegal defense' rule which then allowed zone defenses and I remember Jordan not being a fan of it.... likely because zone defenses make it harder to attack the basket and forces more perimeter shots.....it was a ploy to slow shaq down as well as entice more 3s and points in general.... But as we saw, that still didn't slow Mike down, even at the age he was at, surrounded by bums
How good? You mean GREAT. 2- 3 peats, 6 championships w/6 finals mvps, 2 Olympic gold medals, never have to go to game 7, undefeated in championship @ 6 and 0, ncaa championships, he has too many accolades to even list in a 500 word essay. And not to mention he's the most clutch player ever....... the only thing LeBron has done that Jordan hasn't is stayed in the NBA that long if Jordan would have stayed in that long there's nobody could ever touch his records..... but most importantly, Jordan had no weakness in the game of basketball LeBron had a bunch. Not to mention nowadays you can't even hang around in the paint and Jordan was slamming on the whole teams under the goal now it's just a watered-down version of a bunch of three-point shots
He's the GOAT because he's the blueprint for all guards and he has the skills, athleticism, accolades, stats, and championships to back it up. Watch some David Thompson or Dr.J if you wanna see what MJ's game is modeled after. He took what they did, elevated it, and dominated his era.
MJ has the highlights and the three-peats and gold medals and an NCAA championship. Warming up for the '84 Olympics he and some other college players went around the country beating up NBA teams.
Just notice how the majority of his dunks in these highlights are met with resistance.... nowadays, most players get out the way or just fail to try to stop you once that dunk animation starts
im an average baskteball fan and watched nba basketball since the 80s. it was not ez to get the vhs tapes with the games in the late 80s early 90s and ive watched all the playoff games. never was a jordan fan! always bird and then later dirk... if lebron was the goat i would tell you imediately..... mj is the goat, it was jjust insane, often i couldnt believe my eyes.
There are a lot of spectacular players in Jordan period: Drexler, Barclay, Shaq, Dominique Wilkins, Penny Hardaway, Grant Hill. Others were not spectacular, but unstoppable such as Karl Malone. Others were just great, such as Stockton and Gary Payton.
LeBron has only won 40% of the NBA titles he competed for. He’s lost more than he’s won. That alone disqualifies him from the GOAT debate. His all-time points lead is due to longevity and playing in the current cup cake era, not scoring prowess. Most of his points come from within 3 feet of the basket. If you force him to shoot beyond that, his best shooting percentage is about 35%. He’s also the all-time turnover leader, and he shoots a poor 75% free-throw percentage for someone as ball dominant as he is. It never really was a debate. LeBron is a great player, but is not in the GOAT conversation. He is in the greatest of “his” draft class or era conversation.
Just to name a few, players like Pete Marovich, Wilt Chamberlain, Dr. J, Bird/Magic's passing, Clyde Drexler, James Worthy, Penny Hardaway, Shawn Kemp, Dominique Wilkins, Vince Carter, young stars such as Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Jason Williams, Shaq (for big men), etc. were all players with amazing talent, skills and flash. It wasn't only Jordan that had athleticism... he just had the biggest WILL TO WIN, and he NEVER let up (even as a 39-40 yo with the Wizards)! MJ was soo driven that in his last season with the Bulls (1997-1998) and before his second retirement, at AGE 35, he performed and achieved the following: - played ALL 82 reg season games, - led the Bulls to a 62-20 reg season record, - led the Bulls in Winning 6th Eastern Conference Championship, - won his 10th NBA Scoring title, - selected All-NBA First team, - selected NBA Defensive First team, - Regular season MVP, - All-Star game MVP, - NBA Championship WIN, - NBA Finals MVP - 2nd Three-Peat, 6 NBA Championships
You need to look at more MJ highlights. There are more to see to see his full game. Look at his defensive highlight reel as well. See how rounded he was. He was way more than just a scorer.
MJ is The G.O.A.T Scoring Titles.. Defensive Player of the Year.. 6 - 0 in the Finals🏆 & all of his Praise, given by Others.. Lebron is constantly trying to convince people about himself... Thats called Insecurity... MJ let his GAME do all the convincing.. 👑
you like the part when jordan fake stark with his post shake and went for posterizing ewing. stark is a notable player, if you look at his highlights, he was also a great athlete, he is great dunker and trash talker but he wasnt as popular as jordan or any other hall of famers.
People don't realize that Jordan started that shooting shit from half court but he didn't do it as much because that wasn't the system they played but Jordan had it all the man was incredible, a bulls game was like Sunday football, must see tv
EVERY KID FROM 1982 TO 2003 WOULD SING " I WANNA BE LIKE MIKE". WE THOUGHT WEARING JORDAN SNEAKERS WOULD SOMEHOW MAKE US PLAY BETTER. WHEN WE HAD TO THROW OUT THE GARBAGE AS PART OUR CHORES, WE WOULD SAY "JORDAN" AND SHOOT THE GARBAGE INTO THE GARBAGE CAN, TRYING TO HANG IN THE AIR. GOOD OLD TIMES, MAGICAL, MJ, HIS AIRNESS
Unfortunately, u didn’t pick a very good video that shows MJ’s greatness. I suggest u watch Michael Jordan Best Rare Video Ever (Voyager)1/2. Good to see a young open mind that’s willing to do the research & learn the truth. That will put all ur doubts to rest!!
LeBron only WISHES he was as great as Jordan. Hint; LeBron will NEVER be as great as MJ. LeBron was a little bigger, that's all. Period. I watched MJ throughout his entire career, No one comes close. MJ, IS the G.O.A.T.
Running to the Heat ruined any conversation for him. Then losing with them twice and having Ray Allen save them was even worse. Then Kyrie and AD were the real MVPs of the last 2.
Well, he said he is humbled because he was being recognized and putting his name around the Hall of Famers at that time. He also mentioned that he did what Jordan did in terms of style and other aspects. He wanted to be like Mike, but Bron did it in his own way. He wasn't Mike; he was Bron. All of those accomplishments he achieved weren't just because he won them alone, but as a team, much like Mike. Winning FMVP and MVP are part of the comparison, and winning individual accomplishments is also part of the comparison. thats why if you compare jordan and bron, bron isnt close to jordan.
Lebron lost all claim to any goat argument after 2011. Can't disappear in multiple 4th quarters on a super team and be the goat. I'd have more respect for his career if he stayed in Cleveland and just got one. He couldn't get one in Miami until they got Ray Allen on top of the big 3. The comeback on Golden State was great, can't front on that. And the bubble chip was a joke. The only reason AD was healthy was because they had like 4 months off lmao. And I am a Lakers fan.
Meet the G.O.A.T of all G.O.A.Ts we call him Air Jordan, His Airness, Black Cat,Black Jesus, Flight 23 or simply the greatest basketball player in the history of the game. #23.
Let's put it like this,there were others who played flashy("Pistol" Pete Maravich), Dr.J(Julius Irving)but to combine the elements of intensity,drive,blacktop style and flashiness,MJ was the best- and had two three- peats to prove it
ofc there no internet before so saying thered no one doing those clutch lay up that time is normal but everyone can also do the same thing, its just that there werent as popular as player like jordan, shaq, rodman, pippen, stockton etc. but lay ups and those dunks are just common that day, everyone doing that shit.
3:17 young man you do not know your NBA history Michael Jordan did not start moving the ball from one hand to the other twisting and turning with hang time not even close, bro… But Michael is the goat
I watched MJ , Kobe play and I have watched LeBron play as well ..LeBron is Not even comparable to kobe never mind MJ ..MJ was a different breed ...Player's feared him and if you pissed him off.....it went to another level of play. Complete package to win basketball games ..Look at what MJ did in really only 13 seasons ......LeBron is still playing and he is not even close...MJ is the only Goat
MJ was ALSO crazy on DEFENSE even in his last couple of years as a 40 year old. LeBron, not much at all. Seeing MJ live was unbelievable, which I did. I HATED him as a Knicks fan in the 1990s, but I knew then and know now MJ has been and always be the GOAT.
No one is doing what he did. Average 30+ per game for a career, 10 scoring titles on career 50% shooting, a DPoY, and 9 all-defensive teams. None of those cats played both ends like he did. That's before we get to the winning and MVPs.
The scrutiny is from people old enough to have watched both careers. Anyone who watched mj play knows. Most youngins haven't even watched mjs highlight reels which is wild. Mj and it's not even close
Nobody's does what Michael did daily. He was a highlight reel every game. Nobody's jumping 48 inches, nobody's hanging like Michael. You know nobody's close
In all my days I have never heard anyone say they wanna be like lebron
ABSOLUTELY...."N.E.V.E.R..!!!!!!!!
What gets me to this day is his sense of orientation in mid air. MJ didn't even need to be looking at the rim to make shots. That's insane!
His aerial anarchy is like nothing we have ever witnessed. I once saw him change direction in mid-air against Clippers at old LA Sports Arena. He took off baseline and ended up a few feet in front of rim. I had to look at replay on jumbotron to make sure my eyes hadn't deceive me.
Im 53 years old and from chicago. I watched all of MJ's career, all of Kobe's career and some of Lebron's career as much as I could stomach. I can tell you now Lebron can't touch MJ. Those highlights you watched of Jordan, he played like this EVERY GAME. Every game he played was must watch tv! I know you heard this from tons of people in my age group, but Jordan sits on TOP of the GOAT Pyramid.
Every game! It feels good to see ppl think like me reading comments is refreshing.
💯 Jordan was once in a life time experience..
I saw MJ play and I'm seeing Lebum play, it's no debate... MJ the G.O.A.T
You wasting your time looking at LeBron highlights he don't compare to MJ!!!!!

100% accurate!
Mike was faster, smarter, better. No contest.
MJ was a better all around player, offence, and especially defense.
He was also a lot tougher (compare number of 82 game seasons, knowing Jordan's era was FAR more physical.
Had he not quit to play baseball, he would have 8 rings.

Absolutely
First of Michael played with all those guys you were talking about and Mike wasn’t the only guy doing moves like. The biggest difference is Mike did it every single time he played and the whole game he was like this.
The one thing you need to know that separates MJ from anyone else is that he gave this kinda effort EVERY time he stepped on the court
Young man no one was doing it then and no one is doing it now I've seen 55 years of NBA basketball no one has did it in that time frame.
No one compares to MJ I believe he will be the goat a thousand years from now

I have never heard anyone say that they want to be like LeBron. In fact there is more players copying Curry's style of game than Lebron's game.
You do have a point. 💯
Great point. The only player who probably modeled his game after Lebron is Luka
@@ericg3065 Not really. He always said that he take a little from everyone, americans and europeans players, but especially from Vassilis Spanoulis.

You forgot LeBron and Kobe grew up in that era of kids who idolized MJ also
There are a lot of spectacular players in Jordan period: Drexler, Barclay, Shaq, Dominique Wilkins, Penny Hardaway, Grant Hill. Others were not spectacular, but unstoppable such as Karl Malone. Others were just great, such as Stockton and Gary Payton.
He practiced on his game and got better and better.
There’s nothing unbelievable about what Lebron is doing. They changed the rules for players to last much longer in the nba and nfl
Jordan is the most popular athlete of all time
I highly recommend this. Michael Jordan's era vs LeBron era hard fouls vs hard flops by random tv
LeBron has only won 40% of the NBA titles he competed for. He’s lost more than he’s won. That alone disqualifies him from the GOAT debate. His all-time points lead is due to longevity and playing in the current cup cake era, not scoring prowess. Most of his points come from within 3 feet of the basket. If you force him to shoot beyond that, his best shooting percentage is about 35%. He’s also the all-time turnover leader, and he shoots a poor 75% free-throw percentage for someone as ball dominant as he is. It never really was a debate. LeBron is a great player, but is not in the GOAT conversation. He is in the greatest of “his” draft class or era conversation.
MJ just moved different.
They were doing it but they wasn’t consistent and in the competitive moments he would just take over the game.
i personally never heard anyone say they wanna be like Lebron now Mike had a whole commercial about people wanting to be like mike lol
Goat debate dunk party vs flop party...
Just to name a few, players like Pete Marovich, Wilt Chamberlain, Dr. J, Bird/Magic's passing, Clyde Drexler, James Worthy, Penny Hardaway, Shawn Kemp, Dominique Wilkins, Vince Carter, young stars such as Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Jason Williams, Shaq (for big men), etc. were all players with amazing talent, skills and flash.
It wasn't only Jordan that had athleticism... he just had the biggest WILL TO WIN, and he NEVER let up (even as a 39-40 yo with the Wizards)!
MJ was soo driven that in his last season with the Bulls (1997-1998) and before his second retirement, at AGE 35, he performed and achieved the following:
- played ALL 82 reg season games,
- led the Bulls to a 62-20 reg season record,
- led the Bulls in Winning 6th Eastern Conference Championship,
- won his 10th NBA Scoring title,
- selected All-NBA First team,
- selected NBA Defensive First team,
- Regular season MVP,
- All-Star game MVP,
- NBA Championship WIN,
- NBA Finals MVP
- 2nd Three-Peat, 6 NBA Championships
Doesn’t matter what you believe cuz the truth is MJ didn’t start all that.
Look at the Ultimate mixtape,best rare video pt.1&2 and best defender video of MJ
Hey Champagne..speaking of Jordan's layup package, please react to "Michael Jordan Total Reverse"........it'll blow your mind.
Nobody will ever be like MIke HE IS THE GOAT!!!
No one ever said, "what happened to Jordan" in a playoff series or otherwise.
You need to look at more MJ highlights. There are more to see to see his full game. Look at his defensive highlight reel as well. See how rounded he was. He was way more than just a scorer.
Watch the achievements comparison
48" vertical. 4.3 40 speed. Alien.
Michael Jordan is the goat 🐐 no doubt
there is no player today doing layups like mj
They can do it. But they don't do it as much as Jordan did. Every game, Jordan was doing all this.
MJ is The G.O.A.T
Scoring Titles..
Defensive Player of the Year..
6 - 0 in the Finals🏆
& all of his Praise, given by Others..
Lebron is constantly trying to convince people about himself...
Thats called Insecurity...
MJ let his GAME do all the convincing..
👑
Jordan is by far the goat...it's weird that anyone puts lebron in the same breath....if your gonna put anyone close it's kobe
you like the part when jordan fake stark with his post shake and went for posterizing ewing.
stark is a notable player, if you look at his highlights, he was also a great athlete, he is great dunker and trash talker but he wasnt as popular as jordan or any other hall of famers.
Cap! What Kobe went through was pressure dealing with the Colorado incident. 😮
💯
Nobody doing what MJ did in todays game 😂
Young bro, you will never see LeBron do half of the moves Jordan did, and Jordan did it when it was a contact sport
People don't realize that Jordan started that shooting shit from half court but he didn't do it as much because that wasn't the system they played but Jordan had it all the man was incredible, a bulls game was like Sunday football, must see tv
EVERY KID FROM 1982 TO 2003 WOULD SING " I WANNA BE LIKE MIKE". WE THOUGHT WEARING JORDAN SNEAKERS WOULD SOMEHOW MAKE US PLAY BETTER. WHEN WE HAD TO THROW OUT THE GARBAGE AS PART OUR CHORES, WE WOULD SAY "JORDAN" AND SHOOT THE GARBAGE INTO THE GARBAGE CAN, TRYING TO HANG IN THE AIR. GOOD OLD TIMES, MAGICAL, MJ, HIS AIRNESS
Lebron dont move like mike I'm sorry MJ was style bruh we'll never see anything like that again wow wow
How did he do that is a question you will never hear someone ask about LeBron
It's only the young kids that have ZERO clue the highlights are all you need it's not even close!!! Mj is the GOAT period!!
Lebron James the GOAT! WE DONE WITH THE 90s!!
Unfortunately, u didn’t pick a very good video that shows MJ’s greatness. I suggest u watch Michael Jordan Best Rare Video Ever (Voyager)1/2. Good to see a young open mind that’s willing to do the research & learn the truth. That will put all ur doubts to rest!!
Agree. Voyager!!!!
LeBron only WISHES he was as great as Jordan.
Hint; LeBron will NEVER be as great as MJ.
LeBron was a little bigger, that's all. Period.
I watched MJ throughout his entire career,
No one comes close. MJ, IS the G.O.A.T.
Running to the Heat ruined any conversation for him. Then losing with them twice and having Ray Allen save them was even worse.
Then Kyrie and AD were the real MVPs of the last 2.
Well, he said he is humbled because he was being recognized and putting his name around the Hall of Famers at that time. He also mentioned that he did what Jordan did in terms of style and other aspects. He wanted to be like Mike, but Bron did it in his own way. He wasn't Mike; he was Bron. All of those accomplishments he achieved weren't just because he won them alone, but as a team, much like Mike.
Winning FMVP and MVP are part of the comparison, and winning individual accomplishments is also part of the comparison.
thats why if you compare
jordan and bron, bron isnt close to jordan.
To give you an idea in the age of information and even Lebron is not more popular than Jordan in a time when the internet did not even exist
Check out Jordan's Mix tape
Lebron lost all claim to any goat argument after 2011. Can't disappear in multiple 4th quarters on a super team and be the goat. I'd have more respect for his career if he stayed in Cleveland and just got one. He couldn't get one in Miami until they got Ray Allen on top of the big 3. The comeback on Golden State was great, can't front on that. And the bubble chip was a joke. The only reason AD was healthy was because they had like 4 months off lmao. And I am a Lakers fan.
Meet the G.O.A.T of all G.O.A.Ts we call him Air Jordan, His Airness, Black Cat,Black Jesus, Flight 23 or simply the greatest basketball player in the history of the game. #23.
Let's put it like this,there were others who played flashy("Pistol" Pete Maravich), Dr.J(Julius Irving)but to combine the elements of intensity,drive,blacktop style and flashiness,MJ was the best- and had two three- peats to prove it
Dr. J started those lay ups
ofc there no internet before so saying thered no one doing those clutch lay up that time is normal but everyone can also do the same thing, its just that there werent as popular as player like jordan, shaq, rodman, pippen, stockton etc.
but lay ups and those dunks are just common that day, everyone doing that shit.
3:17 young man you do not know your NBA history Michael Jordan did not start moving the ball from one hand to the other twisting and turning with hang time not even close, bro…
But Michael is the goat
I watched MJ , Kobe play and I have watched LeBron play as well ..LeBron is Not even comparable to kobe never mind MJ ..MJ was a different breed ...Player's feared him and if you pissed him off.....it went to another level of play. Complete package to win basketball games ..Look at what MJ did in really only 13 seasons ......LeBron is still playing and he is not even close...MJ is the only Goat
MJ was ALSO crazy on DEFENSE even in his last couple of years as a 40 year old. LeBron, not much at all. Seeing MJ live was unbelievable, which I did. I HATED him as a Knicks fan in the 1990s, but I knew then and know now MJ has been and always be the GOAT.
No one says they wanttobe like LeBron especially not current playersno they absolutely do not
No one is doing what he did. Average 30+ per game for a career, 10 scoring titles on career 50% shooting, a DPoY, and 9 all-defensive teams. None of those cats played both ends like he did. That's before we get to the winning and MVPs.
The scrutiny is from people old enough to have watched both careers. Anyone who watched mj play knows. Most youngins haven't even watched mjs highlight reels which is wild. Mj and it's not even close
Look, Michael Jordan is the goat. The hard question is, has lebron passed kobe, yet that's the difficult one
