1.Mj 2.Kobe 3.Lebron
Kobe is not a top 3 nba player of all time he’s continuously jumped into those discussions when he wasn’t on that level
Kobe vs Duncan is more of a debate
The top 3 is
MJ
LeBron
Kareem
Michael Jordan The Greatest The Goat 🐐 Of Basketball Period.....!!!!!!!
If you’re the bar then there’s no comparison
More LeBron James weaknesses
Free-throws
Turnovers
Quiting
Flopping
Outside of 3 ft shooting
You left out lazy defense.
Still the goat
@@keithmitchell8372lol hes not. DANGERproductions already put out an in depth comparison. Its not even debatable. Lebrons still a beast though dont get me wrong. Check that vid out. Its 4 years old now. Still holds up.
Also is more known for losing than winning. 4-6 in the finals. Swept twice in the finals and 2 more gentleman sweeps in the finals.
Jordan is still the goat! Followed by Kobe! Then LeBoo-Boo!
1 MJ
2 Bird
3 Kobe
4 Hakeem
5 Magic
6 Kareem
7 Duncan
8 Isiah Thomas
9 Jerry West
10 Shaq
good rage bait
No LBJ ??
seems like someone who has youtube as his main media would say
I'm no great fan of LBJ but the hate he gets from idiot Jordan stans is just dumb.
He's easily top 3 all time and like it or not, he has a real goat case.
@ what’s his goat case ?? Nobody’s taking nun away from him the thing wit us Jordan fans is yu lbj fans sit and say he’s the greatest just becuz bro is altime scoring leader and he’s done more when in reality it doesn’t even come close even for people who’s seen all three play say Jordan has the better career he was the juggernaut of his era they were for a certain period of time
6 > 5 > 4
6 fmvps > 4>2
Yes. That's one aspect.
Basketball fans boiling greatness down to rings is so tiring.
1. Jordan
2. Kobe
3.Everyone else
MJ
Kobe
Shaq
Someone else but Lebron
90% ofLebron'sgame isjust barreling his way to the rim overand over because outside of 3 feet he only shoots 37% for his career in the regular season and in the playoffs it gets worse at 35%. He's literally a one trick pony. He's just so damn big, strong and fast and he's played in an era with no handchecking and no bigs in the lane so he's been able to get to therim consistently throughout his career. It shows he has a weakness though in hisgame and MJ and Kobe had none.
Facts
There's a little bit of a comparison you can have with MJ and Kobe but LeBooboo James is not on they're level.
Yeah u right LeBron is better
@keithmitchell8372 LeBooboo James is a three generational player and he has never been the best player in any of the generations he played in.
@jamalrahmaan9804 good points LeBron has the most MVPs of his era and fmvp can Kobe say that 😆 🤣 😂 😹
@keithmitchell8372 Kobe Bryant beat LeBooboo James ass in the All-Star game I don't want to hear MVPs anybody can win an MVP. LeBron James was the MVP of the four championship games that they won but he never was the true reason. He couldn't win a championship without the way he couldn't win a championship without Kyrie he couldn't win the championship without Anthony Davis. MVP's please, but I did need to laugh thank you for that one.. Lol
@jamalrahmaan9804 U are so delusional first off i wouldn't care about MVPs either when Steve Nash has more MVPs than Kobe a guy who went behind him in his draft u can't find a player with more than LeBron all those players u named LeBron won a chip without them Kobe fans are easy work
You got a 6 time NBa champ as Alpha with no NBa finals.losses, a 5 time NBa champ and a co alpha for his 3 and 2 times loss in NBa finals and a 6 times NBa finals loser.and won 3.5 NBA titles where he was a co alpha to all of it. Why is the 6 NBa finals.loser and a co alpha to those all NBa finals apperance compared to MIke and Kobe? Use.common sense please!.Balco aint in GOaT convo, in top 17 NBa greats or comparable to.Mike.and Kobe. Stats don"t cover failures.
I would go MJ Kobe Bird Magic then maybe LeBron
So Michael’s weakness was that he was just too good? And LeBron can’t shoot a free throw. Got it.
LeBron has a lot of weaknesses free throw is one of them
Kobes career was the most unique. He had to find a way to dominate under different situations, and he did.
Two had no flaws accept two furst second couldnt shoot deep outside shootin kobe a little risk taker added to his game from his two mentor m j mag❤ that other guy cant play without the ball cant make another star better cant shoot period cant post game mami for short period
Goat,Goat Jr., NANNY GOAT QUEEN JAMES WAAAAAYYYYY BACK
Lebron didn’t just lose in his first year with the heat, he was literally trash in the finals. That’s a huge blemish on his legacy
Jordan never lost to a #3 seed or lower in his career.
In his 13 bulls seasons, Chicago had another team in the division that won 50+ games, 24 times.
In lebron 15 years in the east, another team in his division won 50+games only 8 times.
Lebron streak of 10+ points in a game should have an ✳ by it as during the streak he scored fewer than 10 points twice including one game in the finals.
Jordan however never scored fewer than 15 points in the playoffs and scored under 20 only 6 times while scoring more than 50, 8 times.
Jordan 🐐
Kobe 🐍
LeBron
When u said I got to see all 3 play im like so I’m that 🏀ld LMAO
4:58 This move is ridiculous every time I see it. LeBron doesn't seem to realize it's traveling at all, considering he does it in his commercials. It's four steps under the old rules, and three steps even under today`s rules that allow for the gather step. 😂
Wilt Chamberlain is the GOD of basketball, greater than all the GOATS.
Is LeBron truly a point forward? He only averages two more assists per game than the original point forward despite almost anything being an assist during his playing time? Why didn't he lead the league in assists more often? He took an above average team to the Finals because the East was trash. The pandemic helped him more than it hurt.
❤💛💙
Kobe fans are strange thinking that he's even in this conversation. He's borderline Top 10 at best.
Kobe's the ultimate in narrative building. There's just no objective case to be made that he's anywhere near Jordan or Lebron. Heck, we have Lebron and Kobe as contemporaries, and the advanced stats say Lebron was better than Kobe in 12 of the 13 seasons they played in the NBA together (Lebron's rookie season being the exception). Usually, it wasn't even close.
Easy to stat pad when you have the ball in your hands for most of your career playing in a very weak conference even easier to put up numbers not playing any defense. And despite stacking the deck front running, he's a loser. He has to resort to flopping. Getting away with illegal screens and using his off hand to fend off defenders going to rim. Getting away with constant traveling. Even having the league create a new defintion what counts as an assist for him.
Lebron isn't even in the top ten. That's how many prime all stars he has played with now? Not better than MJ,Kareem, Magic, Bird, Kobe, Olajuwon, West, Duncan, Wilt, Robertson, Dr.J, Moses Malone....
@@TheDudeAbides1998 If it were so easy, you'd think everyone would do it.
You're making excuses to ignore dominance. Again, he played with Kobe and Duncan. He was better than them almost every year they were in the league together despite their prime years overlapping with his youth. Comparing someone across eras is one thing, but when they don't even match up in the same era, there's no excuse.
And if he wished to stat pad, he would have a heck of a lot more points. That's one of the sillier arguments. Lebron's play resulted in a lot of wins. Including at least two runs to the Finals and 60+ win seasons with a supporting cast that would have been one of the worst teams in the league without him on the roster.
@@JonSmith-hk1bq Context matters. That's the reality. I didn't lie in anything I stated. Video tape tells the truth. The longer he plays for fraudulent stat padding and playing no defense, the more he exposes himself. There is no way you can defend this. And if you do, that says a lot about you. 2014 finals really highlighted who he truly is and what he has been doing these last few seasons.
They were winning and he wasn't. He lost against a bunch of old teams.
3-6 and Mickey Mouse Bubble ring. Without AD, Lebron doesn't even get into the playoffs. He won a lot against scrub teams. How much help does he need? That's why he call him lehelp.
@@TheDudeAbides1998 What video tape? That you don't like the current rules for traveling or screens? That's not on Lebron. Those are the current rules. And, BTW, if anything Lebron absorbs as many no-calls as anyone since Shaq. That you say that he's stat padding when he could easily have spent his career scoring empty stats and putting up 30ppg seasons instead of taking pride in his passing? That you're eliminating a whole championship out of pettiness? That you have incredible performances where he's carried a team on his back to the Finals as somehow a mark against him. That you're marking anything against a player in his 40s when he's leaps and bounds better than anyone who's ever played past 37. A player, I might add, who once was dominant because of his athleticism and who has had to change his game as its left him. Yeah, he's not as good as he was anymore, that doesn't mean what he's doing isn't something that no one's done before. If it were so easy, everyone would do it.
This is all a Lebron hater problem. You're in a bubble that doesn't function within reality. You all have gotten together and laughed at cherry-picked videos to laugh within that bubble, but in the end you have no idea the actual merit of anything.
bronstans are the people within their own bubble dude..,the minority. a bunch o 10 yr old sensitive,emotional fangirls
Bron Jordan Kobe
😂😂😂mj Kobe Hakeem bird wilt LeBron is #9
How sway?
Kobe shouldn’t even be in this conversation
lebron* he’s clearly the least skilled of the 3. passing is the easiest skill in the game and his slightly higher rebounding is because he’s bigger. you can’t even breakdown his game because it’s just “here he runs straight to the rim” “here he runs straight to the rim” “here he takes a random pull up 3 that bricks” “here he runs straight to the rim” all the highlights of him in the post and hitting middys are maybe once a game. check his shooting stats outside of 0-3 feet. there’s a reason he scores most of his points there. if he took more shots outside of the paint he would average 20 points a game for his career and would have 40% fg. he is supremely talented, but very unskilled
you just stupid lol
@@jacoblee5796 straight up stupid
@ Bricks a 3!? He is the best 3 point shooter out of the 3 of them!? And if getting to the rim is so easy, why doesn’t everyone do it? LBJ isn’t the biggest or the fastest player in the NBA.
@ he’s the most protected. and a lot of people do it, but the difference is they don’t have to rely on it like he does. the stats are there, we can all go see them. you can tell if a player is a pure shooter or not based on their free throw %
1. MJ 2. Kobe 3. Kareem
