Lebron's career is soo impressive mostly because his longevity. If it wasn't for his longevity, if him and Mike both had 15 seasons, when you compare Jordan's 15 seasons and Lebron's 15 seasons, you understand how far Lebron James is from Jordan. Jordan in his 15 seasons had 6 championships, Lebron in his 15 seasons had half as many😭😭🤣, Jordan in his 15 seasons had 6 Finals MVPs, Lebron only had 3. Jordan had 5 MVPs, Lebron had 4. Now, only with these 3 segments Jordan is ON ANOTHER LEVEL FROM LBJ, and than when you add Jordan's 10 scoring titles compating to Lebron's 1, when you compare Jordan's 9 first defensive teams comparing to Lebron's 5, when you compare Jordan's 3 stealing titles to Lebron's 1 assist title... That gab is huge. So that's I'm talking about, now when you add Lebron's 20 seasons some people think they might've been close, but when you at the context... It's only an illution and Jordan is the clear GOAT of this sport.

It's because LeBron has done nothing to pass Jordan & people Lowered Standards for LeBron. Every LeBron argument REQUIRES Compromise. LeBron is below 40% CAREER shooting past 3 feet! That alone disqualifies him
@@LeetraviusMcKay-q6m At halftime in the Bulls Sonics finals, Larry Bird said the league expansion (adding six teams) had really hurt the league. Magic agreed. The league put 90 players into the league that couldn't make it before. And Doctor J joined with both in saying their best team could beat the 72 win Bulls. Because the Bulls couldn't match up with their front lines. Who did the Bulls get to replace Jordan? A journeyman player they brought up from the old G League, Pete Myers. Myers played all 82 games, starting 81.
The reason the Bulls were favored in every finals is BECAUSE of Michael Jordan. He was the mismatch. He was so great that he was expected to win every time, and he did.
Thats actually pretty wild to say for a current player rival 2-time MVP and champion. Shows how dominant and how long Lebrons been at it. Many of the best players literally grew up watching Lebron as fans.

No one grew up idolizing even kids today will still look at MJ no cap. Players today many many of them was inspired by MJ and still cooking ( Curry, Bron, KD, Dame, DB, JT, Antman, Mitchell, Klay Thompson, Ja Morant the list goes on and on)
@@kai6952nope....mj was trash after their last championship....same with kobe whos team lakers were dead last after last championship....those older folks simply played a very very inexperienced therefore weak era
@@sportstalkonly1442 again built a time machine first then let them play together. The problem with the internet today is that we can say anything on it thinking it's a reality but it's not. Warriors with KD is really a great team but because of their team roster and injuries they lost to Kahwi Raptors. And because of Durant Ego realizing Warriors will not be his team, he jump to another team even though their team just made the finals.
@ProvenHueMan no that's based off of stupidity. You can try to frame it otherwise but there is a difference between saying someone is your goat and saying someone is my favorite player of all time.
They forget about how Jordan didn’t play against more than 2 All Star at a time. And when did any team in the 90s deal with a team that had 3 superior shooting and scoring power?????? Hm?
Exactly. Let’s be real. If at their peaks, LeBron, Kawhi, Kobe, T-Mac, KD, D-Rose, Dirk, etc were in the league at the 90s…in their peaks, they too would have been said by many to have been the best players in the league despite Jordan also being at his peak in the league.
@@marcusb.1482 This just isn't as clever a response as you think. The first time the Goat debate was brought up over 10 years ago, it was stupid. To act like it's not a legit debate now is to ignore all of the context and just make surface level arguments. When the man is showing that on any given night he can still be the best player on the floor at 39, you don't acquit yourself by just pretending the debate is laughable. The thing that makes the debate so compelling IMO is the difference in style of the players. The irony is that the people who love MJ are the type that would hate to work with such a shitty team player at their work. They would complain about the arrogant prick they work with, but love MJ's "killer" personality or "Mamba" mentality even if they shit on others around them. LeBron is the guy that makes everyone better and makes everyone look better while giving them the credit when asked. He's the ideal teammate and co-worker, but people hate that in a sports guy. Obviously people will hate LeBron for his political activism and outspokenness on certain topics, but if we limit it to just basketball (which is borderline impossible nowadays) it's a worthwhile debate and much closer than fixed mindset Jordan supporters will ever admit it is.
@@robertdouth8979 it’s not lol… Jordan accomplished more in way less time… the only reason it’s a “debate” is because Lebron has Jordan on longevity… he was able to sustain his great level of play longer than Jordan was… but if that’s the measuring stick we’re using John Stockton is the goat point guard over Magic 🤷♂️
I am a huge Kobe fan and had planned to name one of my sons after him (my wife was not going for it). Michael Jordan, on the other hand, is the greatest basketball player I've ever seen. Not only was he extremely gifted, but the guy was amazingly entertaining, even as a child growing up in a Knicks household. You despised him, but he was beyond great. I'm purple and gold forever, but to me, LeBron is a great player who has lasted longer. Even though Emmitt Smith is the all-time leading rusher, I don't think he was better than Barry Sanders. You can see the talent difference between the two, and that's how I view both Michael and LeBron.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to these NBA debates with Shannon. I feel like by this time next year, Unc will be officially added to the desk full time. Their chemistry is too good.
I like Lebron as well, but I think MJ is the GOAT too. Lebron is closer than anyone has ever been though, and he's still playing. I'm different than Steven in the fact that if Lebron won a championship and a finals mvp then I would say that would be enough to be equal to Jordan, and if he got anything else after that then I would give Lebron the GOAT over Jordan. Steven doesn't think Lebron could do enough to get there, or it sounded that way. I believe it's pretty close between the two. Most people thought no one would ever get near a guy like Jordan, and Lebron is doing it.
The chemistry between Stephen and Shannon is getting incredible ….”Pick ya head up…””😂😂😂 funny

@@LeetraviusMcKay-q6m At halftime in the Bulls Sonics finals, Larry Bird said the league expansion (adding six teams) had really hurt the league. Magic agreed. The league put 90 players into the league that couldn't make it before. And Doctor J joined with both in saying their best team could beat the 72 win Bulls.
Because the Bulls couldn't match up with their front lines. Who did the Bulls get to replace Jordan? A journeyman player they brought up from the old G League, Pete Myers. Myers played all 82 games, starting 81.
The league wasn't ass. It just shows his pure dominance.
The ending had me crying “ its a two man conversation but he aint two”
Haha so true. 😅🤣💯
Gotta say Shannon brought the energy to this channel. Skipp beat less is not the same thing without Shannon cohosting ✨
Shannon Sharpe and Stephen A chemistry is godlike
Stephen A and Shannon might be one of the greatest duos of all time and it’s only been 3 months 😂😂😂
It’s not even been 2 months, what you mean? Lol
@@rich5950 Black math, we round up we coming up on 3 months. this duo started in august and its almost November.
@@jtsbonetemplestarted sept 4 lol so he’s right but its all good no big deal you still right about them being a great duo
No: west & Baylor are the greatest duo of all time!
Been waiting in anticipation for these debates and this did not disappoint 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is just the beginning 😂😂
The reason the Bulls were favored in every finals is BECAUSE of Michael Jordan. He was the mismatch. He was so great that he was expected to win every time, and he did.
So why they were not favored his other years wasn’t he on the team ?
It’s actually funny that as football player Shannon’s basketball takes are the more classic ones 😂
Shannon always shows love for Lebron.
He was wearing a goat mask when he was on the show with Skiiiiiiip.
Shannon does not play when it comes to the research
@@72Dexter72Manley72I miss the GOAT Mask😢
as a handegg player*, and his takes are the more stupid ones
You can see all of them having fun. Never seen Legler smile so much in a segment hahah they having fun.
These 3 somehow made a MJ and Bron debate in 2023 entertaining 😂😂
Agreed!
Thats actually pretty wild to say for a current player rival 2-time MVP and champion. Shows how dominant and how long Lebrons been at it. Many of the best players literally grew up watching Lebron as fans.
Lebron been losing for a long time
@@TimothyGray-o3dlosing lmao ? Dudes been breaking record after record, most people respect the dude, even the legends, then here comes mj meat riders who wants to downplay lebrons legacy just because lebron gets compared to mj. Mj is my goat, but it’s dumb to try to act like lebron don’t deserve to be compared against mj
But the difference remains Jordan gone be compare to the best of every era since he paved the way for modern basketball
No one grew up idolizing even kids today will still look at MJ no cap. Players today many many of them was inspired by MJ and still cooking ( Curry, Bron, KD, Dame, DB, JT, Antman, Mitchell, Klay Thompson, Ja Morant the list goes on and on)
@stevenwalton1586 Liar. Majority of those guys didnt grow up watching MJ.
Giannis mentioned Lebron personal life as well. He seems to have done a great job all around in life.
The fact that Lebron has 2 stages of his career, and both parts can qualify as hall of fame careers. Truly impressive
Kareem does as well
@@jay3253 very true.
most of these high lv players have that, kobe, jordan, bill, kareem
@@kai6952nope....mj was trash after their last championship....same with kobe whos team lakers were dead last after last championship....those older folks simply played a very very inexperienced therefore weak era
@@jay3253no one cares about Kareem he played plumbers
Shannon killed it “ all I know is 2018 warriors where voted best team…ever”. 😂😂😂😂 that pause had me dead
2017 Warriors is what he meant. They went 16-1 in playoffs.
@@DennardC_27 Shaq and Kobe did too, but I agree that the Warriors had the better team
Built a time machine first then let them play against other. As for now hypothetical conclusion will not prove anything
@@dx5garu234kd warriors are better than any team. Ever
@@sportstalkonly1442 again built a time machine first then let them play together. The problem with the internet today is that we can say anything on it thinking it's a reality but it's not. Warriors with KD is really a great team but because of their team roster and injuries they lost to Kahwi Raptors. And because of Durant Ego realizing Warriors will not be his team, he jump to another team even though their team just made the finals.
Why is this still a topic. This is crazy. Everyone has an opinion.
I just couldn't stop laughing at SA and Shannon's banter. This is entertaining.
I live for this debate with Shannon and Stephen A😂😂😂
I mean you have young guys coming up calling Paul George their GOAT. At least Giannis picked someone who’s actually in the discussion.
Literally everyone has there goat you like who you like
That is still wild to me. Paul George!!! That's crazy.
@@tylerwest3161 Thank you for pointing out everyone has "their" own GOAT Captain Obvious.
Allen Iverson is my Goat 🐐
We all live in our own reality. That’s a fact. Based off our own perception.
@ProvenHueMan no that's based off of stupidity. You can try to frame it otherwise but there is a difference between saying someone is your goat and saying someone is my favorite player of all time.
The best!!!! These guys should always be together.
Love these two debating! It’s actually funny and entertaining. It doesn’t feel hostile at all compared to Skip and Shannon either the goat debate
Give it a yr
U people complain and compare everything just watch and shutup
AYO at 6:53 when shannon looks around and swivels in his chair HAS ME DEAD 💀💀😭😭😭 WHY DID ESPN WAIT SO LONG FOR THIS SEGMENT
His high pitch voice yelling Goat 😂
This was so entertaining. Thank you for finally bring on Shannon!
You can tell they love having Shannon on the show😂
Y’all can’t tell me Shannon didn’t practice his Stephen A impression all day 😂😂😂
Freaking funny stuff man, the SAS/Sharpe dynamic, brilliant 😂😂
Shannon funny af 😭😂😭😭😭
They forget about how Jordan didn’t play against more than 2 All Star at a time. And when did any team in the 90s deal with a team that had 3 superior shooting and scoring power?????? Hm?
Exactly. Let’s be real. If at their peaks, LeBron, Kawhi, Kobe, T-Mac, KD, D-Rose, Dirk, etc were in the league at the 90s…in their peaks, they too would have been said by many to have been the best players in the league despite Jordan also being at his peak in the league.
The psychology of Shannon acknowledging how Stephen A lowered his voice saying prince is mind blowing and accurate
Because Prince and mj is more of a debate than mj and Lebron lol
@@marcusb.1482 This just isn't as clever a response as you think. The first time the Goat debate was brought up over 10 years ago, it was stupid. To act like it's not a legit debate now is to ignore all of the context and just make surface level arguments. When the man is showing that on any given night he can still be the best player on the floor at 39, you don't acquit yourself by just pretending the debate is laughable. The thing that makes the debate so compelling IMO is the difference in style of the players. The irony is that the people who love MJ are the type that would hate to work with such a shitty team player at their work. They would complain about the arrogant prick they work with, but love MJ's "killer" personality or "Mamba" mentality even if they shit on others around them. LeBron is the guy that makes everyone better and makes everyone look better while giving them the credit when asked. He's the ideal teammate and co-worker, but people hate that in a sports guy.
Obviously people will hate LeBron for his political activism and outspokenness on certain topics, but if we limit it to just basketball (which is borderline impossible nowadays) it's a worthwhile debate and much closer than fixed mindset Jordan supporters will ever admit it is.
@@robertdouth8979 it’s not lol… Jordan accomplished more in way less time… the only reason it’s a “debate” is because Lebron has Jordan on longevity… he was able to sustain his great level of play longer than Jordan was… but if that’s the measuring stick we’re using John Stockton is the goat point guard over Magic 🤷♂️
@@marcusb.1482casual 😂
@@marcusb.1482 lmao Lebron would achieve more if he was battling with plumbers
4:36 "He the reason y'all know about basketball in Greece" 💯🤣 UNc had to smile at that one
These two need there own show😅😂
They do????
Nah Fr thooo🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I am a huge Kobe fan and had planned to name one of my sons after him (my wife was not going for it). Michael Jordan, on the other hand, is the greatest basketball player I've ever seen. Not only was he extremely gifted, but the guy was amazingly entertaining, even as a child growing up in a Knicks household. You despised him, but he was beyond great. I'm purple and gold forever, but to me, LeBron is a great player who has lasted longer. Even though Emmitt Smith is the all-time leading rusher, I don't think he was better than Barry Sanders. You can see the talent difference between the two, and that's how I view both Michael and LeBron.
The disrespect Scottie get is ridiculous!! No Scottie no chips!!
No Wade, Allen, Irving and Mickie Mouse 👎 0 Championship
@@westrubio1 Lebron is playyyyyy better teams though lol so of course it will be harder for him to win chips Jordan fans are actually stuipid.
@@lilpamper2365lebron also swipe 2x by Old spurs and young denver, thats how difficult IT is lol
@lilpamper2365
Stupid? Did LBJ face the Bad Boys? He formed Boys teams and lost with a superuser in the Finals...TWICE!
The disrespect Lebron teammates get is downright sad.
Unc and SA are seriously the greatest thing to happen to this show lmao 😂 never laughed so hard . Chemistry unmatched lol
This 'debate' will never end 😂
At this point it’s pointless to argue people are gonna have their guy and that’s it 😂
this will end once lebron retire , then the next cycle will be MJ vs Jokic, MJ vs Giannis , the next best thing will be compared to MJ
@@joeymannyyou keep telling yourself that. when Lebron retires it will be the rest vs Lebron not Mj
@@kashmxney631 maybe if rich paul will do the comparison, otherwise its still MJ
@Apocalypse2031lol
Legs was getting off listening to SA talk about Jordan no diddy
This is going to go down as a classic 😂
I can’t wait for the first time when Stephen A sees Shannon wearing the Goat mask and shouts, “Old Goat James!” 🐐😂
😂😂😂 yes!
Bruhh I’m wait when that happens when it does I’m going be laughing my butt off 😂😂😂
Hehe😃😄👌
This one is the best so far, it was hilarious 😂 Shannon said, OF COURSE!!!!!.
Is like a debate/comedy show. I could watch these 2 guys debate alll day!!!
We skipping over that jabron line 😂😂😂
Lmao at Shannon mimicking Stephen A 😂😂😂😂
Yeah, I'm looking forward to these NBA debates with Shannon. I feel like by this time next year, Unc will be officially added to the desk full time. Their chemistry is too good.
MJ is a not a 5x Finals MVP. He is a 6x Finals MVP Stephen A
Stephen a smith face when Legler said LEBRON is priceless 😂😂😂
😂
This is the perfect debate duo 👏👏👏👏👏
Now this is FIRST TAKE!!! Fire debate right here, Stephen A and Shannon got me rolling here hahaha
This Episode Was Great!! Couldn't Stop Laughing With The Back & Forth Between Them.
My Goat Is Still Michael Air Jordan
Why is he ur goat ...???
I like Lebron as well, but I think MJ is the GOAT too. Lebron is closer than anyone has ever been though, and he's still playing. I'm different than Steven in the fact that if Lebron won a championship and a finals mvp then I would say that would be enough to be equal to Jordan, and if he got anything else after that then I would give Lebron the GOAT over Jordan. Steven doesn't think Lebron could do enough to get there, or it sounded that way. I believe it's pretty close between the two. Most people thought no one would ever get near a guy like Jordan, and Lebron is doing it.
"i dont give a damn, i dont give a damn" 😂😂😂 Stephen A funny as hell man lmao
SAS…”go ahead with the blasphemy…”😂😢😂 hilarious
Wow Legler arguments ended goal debate for ever
Bro Stephen A got me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 @11:13 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
