Although i do have to say that shady score keeping and home stats raise questions on a lot of older players' records, i think every star player's stats are massively inflated. If you look now on whats officially considered an assist, you can find that modern players like bron are receiving assists for passing to a player who doesnt score until a significant amount of play later. This makes the numbers sensational and makes the players look good. Its still happening now. And even worse when you consider lax traveling rules and foul calls.
@@itzwakk335 I did bruh. His whole thing was "hopefully there's more oversight so stats aren't snuck in like how they used to be" when stats are literally inflated today, the method is just different. Easy to add more numbers when you relax the criteria by absurd levels. Bro's pretending like it's not still a problem. Also when tf I bring up jordan? If anything you sound like a bron fan who's feelings I just hurt.
I think Rondo was just trying to get assists either way sometimes instead of playing the game the right way. No disrespect to the future HOF though, one of the greatest playmakers I’ve ever seen and I personally think he’s the most talented passer ever
@@nonamewillbegiven7228 Bill Bradley (First Ballot HOFer) stats: 12 points, 3 assists and 3 rebounds Rajon Rondo (“Non HOF lock”) stats: 10 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds Rondo is a HOF lock. It’s also odd you say I don’t know ball when you can never prove anything you say but I always do.
The only "sketchy" thing is singling out Jordan for something that (apparently) decades worth of players were guilty of. Sometimes. Maybe. What's also sketchy is the roughly +800 Free Throws LeBron's team has gotten vs his opponents over the last couple years. Maybe we should throw the whole NBA in the toilet if we're going down this rabbit hole. When you just single out Jordan, you look like a click hunter or a LeBron fanboy. Maybe both.
There is video evidence from this year alone that shows scorekeepers are padding LeBron's rebounds and assists. Ya know how Scottie said Jordan would get credit when he tipped a ball to Jordan? LeBron, aaaaaall the way here now in the 2023-24 season, gets credit for rebounds when AD or another teammate tips it to him. His teammates, though, do not get credit for a rebound when he tips it to them - that goes to LeBron too. Funny isn't it 🤔
Also, let's not even go into how most assists are "judgement calls". How many times have we seen LeBron basically hand the ball to a guy on a simple pass and get an assist after the guy shook the opponent with a dribble move and get the bucket? Again, if we really dig deep in this rabbit hole, we won't like what we see. But the point from those digging isn't to expose some grand conspiracy in the NBA. It's to take down Jordan and prop up their false idol because his career is essentially over and he still hasn't caught Mike. If we weren't talking about THIS, we were talking about the Lakers falling apart and LeBron getting a black HC fired for his white friend. Or how toxic LeBron is to teams. Instead, we're now trashing Jordan. LeBron truly is the "goat" of running the media and flipping the narratives.
@@John6-40 Bingo. 100% true. Klutch Sports has tried everything - 90s NBA was weak because of expansion, Scottie Pippen was the real reason the Bulls won, they played against plumbers, now this. It was incredibly stupid of them to go this route since we have lots of video evidence of scorekeepers padding LeBron's stats, but they were backed into a corner when LeBron said he believes he would he the GOAT if he won a DPOY 🤣🤣🤣
@@JeremyGraczykYep. All of LeBron's recent DPOY talk was him setting the table for this. He knew what was coming because he and Klutch are pulling the strings. 10 or 20 years down the road, LeBron is going to be exposed for all of this. You don't even have to scratch very hard beyond the surface to see how much LeBron has corrupted the media to change narratives for him. Eventually, I believe LeBron will be disregarded entirely as a player. Just like the Hit King Pete Rose. The only difference is that baseball had integrity. The NBA and Adam Silver? I'm not so sure. Especially after the free throw discrepancies over the last couple years (at least) favoring LeBron's Lakers.
Now there needs to be an investigation on "fouls" and travels in this last passing and current era. Also all the personal grudge "technical foul" calls against Rasheed Wallace or Tim Duncan on the bench laughing on the bench or Allen Iverson not getting calls because the referees didn't like him. Or all the the technicals called against Westbrook. We can do this all day.
Or the roughly +1000 FT discrepancy by the Lakers over the last couple years. That has helped LeBron rest on defense while stat hunting on offense, meanwhile the Lakers stay competitive despite that because of that discrepancy. Not to bring up politics, but it's a similar deal with the Trump charges. All politicians have dirt if you dig. Biden weaponized the FBI to take down a political opponent. LeBron is weaponizing the media to take down "the ghost in Chicago". Sorry if you're a liberal and I offended you somehow with the analogy, but tbh, it's a perfect analogy.
I love how the entire purpose of that article was to slander Jordan and prop up Lebron in the GOAT debate (the writer Tom Haberstroh has been on record stating he thinks Lebron is the GOAT like 7 years ago btw, before he even won his 4th ring) and yet people in the comments here are saying "why are you bringing up Lebron in a video that has nothing to do with him? Insecure Jordan fans" ... y'all are either delusional and disingenuous. Stop pretending that people aren't trying to discredit the 90s and attempt to tarnish Jordan's legacy for no apparent reason. We all know the only reason why certain journalists and people want to do this, and it has everything to do with Lebron. The end of the article literally mentions the GOAT debate and has a video of Lebron in it... it mentions how DPOY is used by various people as a reason they have Jordan over Lebron in the GOAT debate (the entire purpose of the article at its core is to discredit/devalue Jordan's DPOY), and he specifically mentions instances where people have said this on video (including the likes of Jalen Rose), quoting them. So please stop with that nonsense.
This is why EVERY NBA debate has an asterisk, not just some Rings and some Silverware. Awards are ALWAYS subjective, never neutral. Rings are won by TEAMS, not Players or Coaches alone Unless you saw the man play, you don't know jack about their skill level bc AWARDS that sports and media people VOTE FOR sure as hell aren't how you find out and stats are just stats... Jordan bullied his way to a DPOY, we all know MVP or ROY votes that were nonsensical...NEVER argue by awards, there's NO point and NO WAY I'm just gonna go and count stuff to see who's better. That's not how it works! That ish only tells you who got the most recognition that year or begged for it the hardest
Ok then. So championships, awards and stats don't count. Only eye test, I guess. Then I don't see how any rational person could watch MJ and LeBron and come to any conclusion other than Jordan was better at basketball. He didn't rely on bully ball or lowering his shoulder. Jordan had a better handle than LeBron. A quicker first step. Better in the post. Better mid-range. Quicker laterally. Better free throw shooter. Even Jordan's passing highlights are arguably better. Jordan played passing lanes better. Quicker hands on defense. Gave more effort on defense. LeBron has bully ball on Jordan. Anything else?
@@John6-40 hold on. They do count, it's just not ONE guy who decides if you get a ring or not and awards are CLEARLY given under somewhat biased circumstances. Are you trying to tell me you were okay with all MVPs, DPOYs and ROYs in your lifetime from a somewhat reasonable and neutral standpoint? They're clearly given by narrative. I'm not even gonna go into GOAT territory, LeBron and MJ have had vastly different play styles and careers in vastly different eras, I don't even know how to compare one to the other but sure, if anyone is the GOAT of Basketball, it was always gonna be Jordan since the day he left. Why debate the obvious? We can debate if prime Bron did more for a team than prime Jordan or who would be better in the other's era but all of that is mute. Jordan redefined basketball for the globe, that includes me, after that LeBron could only achieve one thing: redefining longevity. Did that. Okay. What I'm pointing to is the fact that when you know the stats can both be rigged and padded, knowing that people vote for awards based on stats ALONE is a PROBLEM. People are awarded contracts generating generational wealth based on obviously and demonstrably flawed statlines. If that's 'just sports' for you, fine... Another point is strictly for people trying to make bets or give prophecies: don't go by awards or stats, go by what you know or who you know. Bet against them if you know they're worse than the stats and awards make them look. Bet on them if you think they're underrated. Don't bet on the guy with 4 MVPs, he may not even care anymore and be a bad bet ...
Okay but what about the stat keepers' bias against the away team players? Is there any research lets say, if the Pistons' stat keeper put the correct stats for Jordan playing against them at Detroit? Do you think it can cancel out the home team stat keeper's padding?
Honestly I want to see a video on Nick Van Exel Because he is a very interesting player especially when he was on the lakers pre three peat Shaq and Kobe
I don't feel Home vs Road can be considered as solid evidence for inaccurate stat keeping. It'd have been much better if you took the film, recorded it with today's standards, and compared it with the box scores at the time.
This is some LeBron fandom, when you look at LeBron's assists they are highly inflated either home or away. He gets a steal when player knocks the ball to his hands. He gets the rebound when somene knocks the ball to his hands. Each game they remove couple of his shots to boost his fg percentage, and they do that for his entire career.
Interesting, any clips or certain game you could remember? I'd love to check it out. Especially the removing shots to boost FG% Any particular game comes to mind? Imma go find the full game
Why are you bringing up lebron? I legit wanna know why mj fans think about lebron so much? Also showing proof of your claim would be nice but just like all mj fans you won't show a shred of proof.
@@quelaagging8532 I'm nobody's fan. I bring him up because his media fanboys are creating this fake narrative. Yet everyone knows that Lebron's stats are tuned and fake
@@branislavlukic3919 this video has nothing bout Bron. Why are you bringing him up? It makes no sense lol but having Bron on your mind all day everyday will do that to a man.
FGM / FGA should also be corrected, especially in shooting foul. when a player is foul while taking a shot, FGM & FGA will be recorded he makes the shot, but NOT when he misses.
In the 2005 season, LeBron has 74% more blocks credited at home than on the road. The stats are freely available online to anyone who wants to question that
Fine, take away Jordan's DPOY. It doesn't downgrade Jordan from an A+ defender to just an A defender. It doesn't get LeBron more votes in any GOAT poll which was CLEARLY the point of the whole thing.
There are numerous examples on youtube alone of LeBron James getting credit for assists and rebounds that he does not deserve. Uncut Hoops and Angry Old Hoops have video evidence and examples from this year itself. So you're just flat out wrong about sports gambling "cleaning up stat keeping." If you want to argue that the league relies much more on interpretation nowadays to get around stat-padding, sure go ahead, but it still means a stat that would count today would not have been counted in the past
@@peter2oo151 no we not good. Tom HaBronsexual consulted and worked with Nick Wright on the story. Nick Wright is an employee of Klutch Sports. Tom HaBronsexual was immediately interviewed by Chris Broussard, an employee of Klutch Sports. To say Uncut Hoops - who provides video evidence of LeBron getting credit for stats he does not deserve - can't be trusted, while Tom HaBronsexual - who provides no video evidence of his claims - can be trusted, would only come from a complete moron. Like you 😘
bro the 2 people you named are some of the most biased basketball “content” creators you could find. Angry old Hoops is literally obsessed with lebron in the weirdest way possible, but yea let’s use his videos as a credible source 😂.
@@mr.longjohn0014 I don't care what their view is. They provide video proof that LeBron gets his stats padded, as recently as this year. You can disagree with literally everything they have to say, but video doesn't lie. By the way, I'm still waiting on Tom Haberstroh to upload those Jordan tapes he watched. Because no one else can find them. What people have been able to find for Bulls' home games from the 87-88 season online (THE FULL GAME, not just a 5-minute highlight reel) though, shows that the steals totals match with the box score 😶
Just to say about Jordan, he wasnt a perfect guy or basketball player and its honestly fine. At his very worst you could say he was a selfish, butthurt, crybaby who was supremely talented, skilled and consistent. At his best, hes the best we've ever seen and classy and a team player. Usually, the truth is a mix of the two or appreciating both.
Hakeem averaging 4 BPG was interesting. One of the best defensive players in NBA history and an elite rim protector in his career. Him averaging 5.7 BPG compared to just 3.5 on the road is outrageous. That home arena scorekeeper seemed kind of sketchy.
Before, assist is only counted with less than 2 dribbles. Now, you can take a pass, dribble more than thrice, jab and take a fade. Still counts as an assist. And we're here talking about stats inflation 😂
I like how Lebron was not mentioned once in the video but is the most commented topic. Interesting. Tells a lot about the insecurity of MJ fans In my 32 years of life MJ lore went from "he has never missed a shot" to "six for six, nuff said" to "well, he's the BEST scorer of all time" to "Well, no, it was never about the total, it's about the PEAK" to "You see LeBron flop there?? MJ would NEVER" to "It was his defense that really set him apart" to "yeah, his defensive player of the year award was BS, and yeah, somehow Bron lost DPOY to a guy who was on the all NBA 2nd Defensive team, but I'd like to see Bron play BASEBALL"
Wow, there is so much lack of common sense here that my brain nearly exploded reading this. 1. LeBron himself can't keep Jordan out of his mouth. Your favorite media actors like Shannon Sharpe, Nick Wright and countless others can't keep Jordan out of their mouths. Everything used against Jordan is to prop up LeBron. Then when Jordan fans pop up for the latest attack, you fake surprise so you can pretend that Jordan fans are insecure? Laughable. 2. Who said Jordan "never missed a shot"? 3. Only idiots think "6 for 6" is the only argument Jordan has. 4. If this was ever about the total stats, then Kareem would've been the best ever, and still would be. He was 1st in points, with 6 championships and 6 league MVP's. Only after LeBron got the points record did yall try to act like it's about the totals. 5. Jordan averaged more points, steals and blocks with fewer turnovers. In both reg season and playoffs. Jordan has a higher PER and win shares per 48 in both reg season and playoffs. Jordan has 2 more championships, 1 more MVP and 3 more all-defense teams than LeBron, despite playing 6 fewer years. There. I just wrapped this "debate" up without even mentioning the DPOY, which still counts. 👍
Of course he is in the comment, since it’s Klutch sport propaganda and an already debunked one at that ( let’s analyze 7 games that no one can see but me…lol) Meanwhile LBJ gets assist after a guy received the ball, dribble 3 times then stop and shoots.
Finally someone debunked Stockton's statpadding myth. Thank you. Even today that bs is still spread. Btw, one reason the record is so hard to brake its because Stockton played 19 seasons snd in 17 of those he played all 82 games.
1 reason for Stockton having the assist record cause he played with Karl Malone, both were insanely healthy they played 1400 games together and with one being a pretty efficient assister and the other being a super effecient scorer i mean he was 1400 points of the record
If we look close enough today, LeBrons assists are easily inflated. He passes the ball and then his team goes into an iso possession and scores. How is that facilitating the offense at all?
@@quelaagging8532Dumb reply. We all know who is pushing the anti-Jordan stuff, and who is taking this hit piece against Jordan as legitimate evidence of anything. You are a LeBron fan, yourself.
That's because LeFraud actually complains for no good reasons and is mad at refs for not giving him good calls. Search up a video titled: "lebron literally complained more than he played defense" It pretty much sums up LeBum's entire career.
@@cafelatte1124you’re using a YT video are your source lol dude they’re cherry picked. U could do the same with MJ. Also mj complained ALOT as well, it’s just not being televised for current viewers. There’s literally a clip of him complaining and a ref changing his ruling in favor for MJ
@@angelsibrian5085 lol then provide the video. What's the title? Also, it's not cherry picking when LeFraud has been doing that for years. The same channel has video after video of LeFlop doing exactly the samething, but you are still making excuses. Show me a video where MJ dropped to the floor and acted like he got hurt or shot when the opposing team did nothing to him, just like LeFlop does all the time.
It was inspired by all the negative media focus being on LeBron for being a team cancer who got a black HC fired for his white podcating propaganda slinger. I wouldn't doubt at all if Pippen is getting payouts from Klutch now. Hating on Jordan is mutually beneficial to both LeBron and Pippen now. An enemy of an enemy is my friend. I don't trust anybody in the public eye anymore. No one seems to have integrity. At least Jordan mostly remains silent and doesn't have a shady agency changing narratives for him. That article was a hit piece and the games he "researched" he didn't even list.

@@malikwilson7387 "leflop" is what 60 yr old grandpa's call him lol yall just mad lebron the GOAT. Bringing him up in a video not about him is rent free buddy.
@@quelaagging8532 It is about him. Andy is basing this video on a hit piece written by Tom Haberstroh. Tom consulted with Nick Wright, a Klutch Sports employee, while writing the article and went on Chris Broussard's show, also a Klutch Sports employee, to promote it. Tom also goes out of his way in his article to question Jordan's DPOY award *in relation to LeBron James, who never won one.* Gee, why would Tom do that? And double gee, why would Andy leave that important piece of context out of his video? I wonder 🤔🤔🤔
@@Dottor_J Biased and unreliable? The whole article was based on 6 games which aren’t findable on TH-cam or the internet. The stats were counted by watching ”some dude’s VHS tapes”. Now that’s the definition of biased and unreliable.
This is just another tiktok style trend for the brainrot crowd. "Let's question statistics, but only for Jordan and old players, not LeBron and new players". Let's not look at how current players can freely travel and commit offensive fouls. Let's not look at LeBron and current player's padded assists and rebound totals. Let's not look at the Lakers outrageous free throw discrepancies. If we want to get really technical about this, let's be fair, right?
Maybe these idiots should pull up 6 random games from last season and apply old traveling and offensive foul rules and let us know how many violations there were. I'm guessing those stats would blow some minds. That doesn't suit the Klutch narratives, though.
@@IDK-0402 He was in the article that Andy stole from and repeated basically word-for-word in this video - Andy just left out that part for "reasons." In the original article this video is based on, Tom HaBronsexual has a whole section devoted to LeBron _really, really wanting_ a DPOY award because then that would _for sure_ make him the GOAT! Tom intimates that if Jordan _didn't actually_ deserve his DPOY, then LeBron is really the GOAT!! Tom "consulted" with Nick Wright on this "project", and he was immediately interviewed by Chris Broussard about the article. Both are employees of Klutch Sports. What's even further, a few months ago while sipping wine with JJ Redick on his podcast (who's now the Lakers head coach btw 😮💨), LeBron said he deserved to win DPOY in 2012-13 over "that other guy", and he's upset he didn't win it because it's the one award he doesn't have for the GOAT conversation. LeBron is such a petty, weak individual, he couldn't even say Marc Gasol's name. So that's why people are bringing up LeBron. Hope that helps champ 😘👍👍
The only good thing I can possibly speak of when it comes to sports betting's impact on sports is that, now that money is on the line, people are actually paying attention to how stats are recorded.😮
Have you ever personally looked into your claim, or do you just take is as implicit truth? Because it's completely wrong. Can't post links on youtube so look up the following from Defector. It was published on March 5, 2024 about this most recent season: "We Tracked A Night’s Worth Of NBA Assists, And Many Of Them Are Baloney"
There is that completely opposite of stat padding that Clippers scorekeepers allegedly did during Sterlings ownership. Players would get less assists and rebounds at home, so there would be a reason to pay them less. Am I remebering a real thing? It sounds so stupid.
Timmy's Almost Quadruple-Double in 2003 NBA Finals first comes to my mind for the most skeptical moment in NBA and he should have that one but statistician srewed up
@@itzwakk335 Jordan was already a superstar before Pippen even joined and Pippen was a role player during his first few seasons. Also, the Bulls were terrible during Jordan’s first few years. How do you think the Bulls were able to draft him in the first place? Even against the Pistons, Jordan still had to carry a weak supporting cast against a much more stacked Pistons team. Pippen was never a player who could carry a team as a first option. When Jordan temporarily retired the first time to play baseball, yes Pippen and the Bulls won 55 games, only 2 less than the Bulls had with Jordan the previous season. But going from a 3 time champion with Jordan to a second round exit without him is a huge difference. No regular season record is going to hide how they weren’t nearly as effective without Jordan. Another thing is that MJ is one for the most elite defenders ever at a guard position: 2nd most blocked shots for a guard, 4th all time in steals, and 9 all defense 1st teams. Also, for anyone who would argue the Pistons were weakened by the flagrant foul rule, that’s bullshit too. The Pistons allowed less PPG on defense in 1991 than 1990. Jordan faced 4 60+ win teams in the Finals and the other 2 won 55+ games, 5 out of 6 Finals series went to 6 games. Michael Jordan. If the refs actually favored Jordan and the Bullsto win championships, why did he average less FTAs during his losing seasons than his title winning seasons? Jordan only averaged the most FTAs in one season (which wasn’t during a championship season) and he was ejected once during 1992 (his second championship year). In 4 out of 6 Finals, his primary opponent shot more FTs despite taking less FGAs, in the other 2 Finals, Jordan did take more FTs but also took much more FGAs so that’s to be expected. The officiating was also highly biased towards Dennis Rodman during his time playing on the Chicago Bulls.
Tom Haberstroth has no credibility, dude graduated high school in 2004, a yr after bron dude was a MIAMI HEAT reporter during the yrs LeBron was there and he used a 6 game sample size out of 41 home games Jordan. Are we this stupid we can see the agenda here? Question the validity of the only award bron never won but only questions MJs validity, not any other DPOY recipient, let's not be stupid here
What’s next, Bronny Sr was stat padded on road games for his turnovers?? If they have to work this hard to discredit Jordan, speaks volumes on how far ahead he is. Take the DPOY from Jordan, does that not make him the GOAT now??
@@nicedudefrfr How would you know? Did you watch his 1987-88 season? I doubt your mom's bf had even glazed her to pop you out by the time Jordan had already retired
@@nicedudefrfrEven according to dipshit's fraudulent article, Jordan averaged 2.1 steals (4th) and 1.2 blocks (1st among guards and 21st overall) on the road. Those are DPOY type of stats anyway. 🤷♂️
They shorten the 3 point line for MJ too and his 3 point percentages were at his best those years that they did it. Meanwhile they gave Tyson Chandler and Marc Gasol the DPOY in 2012, 2013… neither one of them could even make the FIRST TEAM ALL DEFENSE… it’s sad, these individual awards are honestly starting to become very meaningless. The media pushes narratives and it’s not fair. Bron should have ATLEAST one DPOY, which would obviously help is goat case ALOT… topic for another day but Jordan is also so blessed that he didn’t play in the social media era. One example, is that they would’ve crucified him for that 1991 ring. Pippen switching on to Magic changed the series and what’s even crazier.. Worthy and Scott were hurt and both missed games that series… if this was Bron, we’d hear how this was a Mickey Mouse ring or something… the NBA community has to be better
The nba shortened the 3 point line because scoring was decreasing but it didn’t do anything so they changed it and ,just guarded magic in games 3,4,5 if you watch the proper thing magic was only guarded by Scottie in game 2
1. Jordan was playing baseball when they shortened the line. 🤦♂️ 2. Jordan shot .343 (LeBron's career %) in the 4 seasons prior to his retirement. He was fine from 3 and didn't need the league's help. Dumb take. You were looking for likes and just came up with whatever asinine bullshit sounded cool. That's the problem with you kids and the internet. You don't care about actually thinking things through or saying the (actual) correct thing. You just care about saying something profound (right or wrong) that gets you noticed by others. Do better.
Hate it, love it, believe it, discredit it. it still happened. And so, that's what I take away from it, is being yourself on purpose in public all the time is the most important thing you can do as a human being and Michael did it with grace and humility on the grandest stage. If you are one of those people who disparage the great minds and talents of the past to get recognition for yourself or acknowledgement of your existence, then that's on you, it reflects your poor character and culture. Lebron may end up in the history books not as an ambassador for his achievements, but for discrediting others to get there. The difference is that fans wanted Jordan to win. LeBron, on the other hand, has his hand and fingerprints all over the narratives. For a player to do something that vile is simply the lowest of the low.
Lebron is my generation, I'm just ashamed of it. Simply distasteful. Jordan played even before I was born. Similar to other great people Einstein, George Washington, but we all give our respect to them as they paved the way for us. Learn from them.
The best thing about Jordan's stat-keeping is the game where he was credited with 4 steals, and the opposing team only had 3 turnovers. Lack of video evidence is the only thing keeping the Jordan acolytes vocal about their prophet.
@@skymav6 No, he wasn’t ”telling the truth”. This whole ”research” on the 1987-88 DPOY was based on a sample size of six games, conveniently games which aren’t available on the internet or TH-cam. Instead, the stats were counted by watching ”some dude’s old VHS tape”. Seems legit. Play by play was introduced to the NBA during the 2nd 3-peat. You can go watch those; there’s hundreds of games to go through. Doing so, you’ll find out that there is no discrepancy between how stats are counted for all other NBA players, and Michael Jordan’s stats. Nice try, misinformation is a key part of LeFraud’s fanbase and their attempt to undermine the GOATs of previous eras. Do better next time.
@@mirrorportal1587 He had the largest home road steal differential of all time. There's footage of games of him getting 28 steals where he only got 12. Those are facts the games are in HD. And I'm not trying anything I didn't even say nothing bad about MJ.

Not thinking about the point of the video , not thinking that be it a myth or fact, it cant take that award/accomplishment away; its already cemented 😂😂
Everyone will be labeled a Lebron fanatic when you doubt something about MJ 😂 im a forever MJ fan but i welcome facts like this. Inconsistency are being raised to the stars. Do you think there is an interest of inconsistency if its done with an unknown player? 😅 No one will care.
So many hurt guys in the comments not actually paying attention to the acc video smh. Every GOAT level player warps the game and stats a little bit. But in this case it seems to be worse in the 90s and earlier. Thats okay. Jordan was still great and he said of his own award that its based off of reputation. Not the best award is all
MJ averaged similar stats in 1987 so home stat-keepers weren't required to "juice" up MJ's stats at home, especially when considering the fact that MJ played more minutes in 88 40.4>40.0
Yeah because we watched the guys that you guys know nothing about. Imagine if I walked up to an astronaut and told them that no, you actually CAN breathe in space. And then refused to change my opinion despite being shown more and more evidence. That's what it's like with you guys 👍

Players don't "win" awards like DPY , they are given those awards by journalists. Which is why you should never take any of them seriously. Personally, I try to judge players on what they win on the court , the eye test and the advanced stats. The rest I find unreliable.
Anyone who actually watches the game notices a lot of sh*t! It’s way worse today than ever before. Refs allow traveling and bend the rules in certain teams’ favors. They say you can’t “dislodge” a defender when driving. That’s literally how Lebron has scored the vast majority of his points. LOL
Defensive player of the year award doesn't mean you are the best defensive player! Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant are both elite defenders and also LeBron James! I've seen Lebron James playing defensively and I was shocked! I said that is the greatest player ever!😺
Stockton to Malone was the bread and butter of Utah’s offense for almost twenty years. Ain’t no stat padding there

With the way they count assists today, if Stockton was playing he would average 20 assists a game.

That MJ article is bs produced by Klutch sport. The “writer” handpicked games that only him could see and no one else. Not suspicious at all…
"Gargantuan"... as a literature fan I felt that.
The first name that came to my mind on this topic is Rondo and his Celtic home assists. Wasn't that a thing back then?
I think Rondo was just trying to get assists either way sometimes instead of playing the game the right way. No disrespect to the future HOF though, one of the greatest playmakers I’ve ever seen and I personally think he’s the most talented passer ever

It’s also odd you say I don’t know ball when you can never prove anything you say but I always do.
The only "sketchy" thing is singling out Jordan for something that (apparently) decades worth of players were guilty of. Sometimes. Maybe.
What's also sketchy is the roughly +800 Free Throws LeBron's team has gotten vs his opponents over the last couple years.
Maybe we should throw the whole NBA in the toilet if we're going down this rabbit hole.
When you just single out Jordan, you look like a click hunter or a LeBron fanboy. Maybe both.
There is video evidence from this year alone that shows scorekeepers are padding LeBron's rebounds and assists.
Ya know how Scottie said Jordan would get credit when he tipped a ball to Jordan?
LeBron, aaaaaall the way here now in the 2023-24 season, gets credit for rebounds when AD or another teammate tips it to him. His teammates, though, do not get credit for a rebound when he tips it to them - that goes to LeBron too.
Funny isn't it 🤔
Also, let's not even go into how most assists are "judgement calls". How many times have we seen LeBron basically hand the ball to a guy on a simple pass and get an assist after the guy shook the opponent with a dribble move and get the bucket?
Again, if we really dig deep in this rabbit hole, we won't like what we see.
But the point from those digging isn't to expose some grand conspiracy in the NBA.
It's to take down Jordan and prop up their false idol because his career is essentially over and he still hasn't caught Mike.
If we weren't talking about THIS, we were talking about the Lakers falling apart and LeBron getting a black HC fired for his white friend.
Or how toxic LeBron is to teams.
Instead, we're now trashing Jordan. LeBron truly is the "goat" of running the media and flipping the narratives.
@@John6-40 Bingo. 100% true. Klutch Sports has tried everything - 90s NBA was weak because of expansion, Scottie Pippen was the real reason the Bulls won, they played against plumbers, now this. It was incredibly stupid of them to go this route since we have lots of video evidence of scorekeepers padding LeBron's stats, but they were backed into a corner when LeBron said he believes he would he the GOAT if he won a DPOY 🤣🤣🤣
@@JeremyGraczykYep. All of LeBron's recent DPOY talk was him setting the table for this. He knew what was coming because he and Klutch are pulling the strings.
10 or 20 years down the road, LeBron is going to be exposed for all of this.
You don't even have to scratch very hard beyond the surface to see how much LeBron has corrupted the media to change narratives for him.
Eventually, I believe LeBron will be disregarded entirely as a player. Just like the Hit King Pete Rose.
The only difference is that baseball had integrity. The NBA and Adam Silver? I'm not so sure.
Especially after the free throw discrepancies over the last couple years (at least) favoring LeBron's Lakers.

Of course. The game is faster, so more scores, so there are more passes made. Its all relative

@@jervoskitzin The way assists are counted now is different from how it was back then.
@@jervoskitzinYou see it all the time ,a guy catches the ball , pauses , takes 3 dribbles and they still write it down as an assist.
Now there needs to be an investigation on "fouls" and travels in this last passing and current era. Also all the personal grudge "technical foul" calls against Rasheed Wallace or Tim Duncan on the bench laughing on the bench or Allen Iverson not getting calls because the referees didn't like him. Or all the the technicals called against Westbrook. We can do this all day.
Or the roughly +1000 FT discrepancy by the Lakers over the last couple years. That has helped LeBron rest on defense while stat hunting on offense, meanwhile the Lakers stay competitive despite that because of that discrepancy.
Not to bring up politics, but it's a similar deal with the Trump charges. All politicians have dirt if you dig.
Biden weaponized the FBI to take down a political opponent. LeBron is weaponizing the media to take down "the ghost in Chicago".
Sorry if you're a liberal and I offended you somehow with the analogy, but tbh, it's a perfect analogy.

I love how the entire purpose of that article was to slander Jordan and prop up Lebron in the GOAT debate (the writer Tom Haberstroh has been on record stating he thinks Lebron is the GOAT like 7 years ago btw, before he even won his 4th ring) and yet people in the comments here are saying "why are you bringing up Lebron in a video that has nothing to do with him? Insecure Jordan fans" ... y'all are either delusional and disingenuous. Stop pretending that people aren't trying to discredit the 90s and attempt to tarnish Jordan's legacy for no apparent reason. We all know the only reason why certain journalists and people want to do this, and it has everything to do with Lebron. The end of the article literally mentions the GOAT debate and has a video of Lebron in it... it mentions how DPOY is used by various people as a reason they have Jordan over Lebron in the GOAT debate (the entire purpose of the article at its core is to discredit/devalue Jordan's DPOY), and he specifically mentions instances where people have said this on video (including the likes of Jalen Rose), quoting them. So please stop with that nonsense.

Bubbles arent rings

This is why EVERY NBA debate has an asterisk, not just some Rings and some Silverware. Awards are ALWAYS subjective, never neutral.
Rings are won by TEAMS, not Players or Coaches alone
Unless you saw the man play, you don't know jack about their skill level bc AWARDS that sports and media people VOTE FOR sure as hell aren't how you find out and stats are just stats...
Jordan bullied his way to a DPOY, we all know MVP or ROY votes that were nonsensical...NEVER argue by awards, there's NO point and NO WAY I'm just gonna go and count stuff to see who's better. That's not how it works!
That ish only tells you who got the most recognition that year or begged for it the hardest
Ok then. So championships, awards and stats don't count. Only eye test, I guess.
Then I don't see how any rational person could watch MJ and LeBron and come to any conclusion other than Jordan was better at basketball.
He didn't rely on bully ball or lowering his shoulder. Jordan had a better handle than LeBron. A quicker first step. Better in the post. Better mid-range. Quicker laterally. Better free throw shooter. Even Jordan's passing highlights are arguably better. Jordan played passing lanes better. Quicker hands on defense. Gave more effort on defense.
LeBron has bully ball on Jordan. Anything else?
@@John6-40 hold on. They do count, it's just not ONE guy who decides if you get a ring or not and awards are CLEARLY given under somewhat biased circumstances. Are you trying to tell me you were okay with all MVPs, DPOYs and ROYs in your lifetime from a somewhat reasonable and neutral standpoint? They're clearly given by narrative.
I'm not even gonna go into GOAT territory, LeBron and MJ have had vastly different play styles and careers in vastly different eras, I don't even know how to compare one to the other but sure, if anyone is the GOAT of Basketball, it was always gonna be Jordan since the day he left. Why debate the obvious? We can debate if prime Bron did more for a team than prime Jordan or who would be better in the other's era but all of that is mute. Jordan redefined basketball for the globe, that includes me, after that LeBron could only achieve one thing: redefining longevity. Did that. Okay.
What I'm pointing to is the fact that when you know the stats can both be rigged and padded, knowing that people vote for awards based on stats ALONE is a PROBLEM. People are awarded contracts generating generational wealth based on obviously and demonstrably flawed statlines. If that's 'just sports' for you, fine...
Another point is strictly for people trying to make bets or give prophecies: don't go by awards or stats, go by what you know or who you know. Bet against them if you know they're worse than the stats and awards make them look. Bet on them if you think they're underrated. Don't bet on the guy with 4 MVPs, he may not even care anymore and be a bad bet ...

This is some LeBron fandom, when you look at LeBron's assists they are highly inflated either home or away. He gets a steal when player knocks the ball to his hands. He gets the rebound when somene knocks the ball to his hands. Each game they remove couple of his shots to boost his fg percentage, and they do that for his entire career.

I hope we going through Lebrons home and away stats to see his home scorekeepers probably did the same thing
In the 2005 season, LeBron has 74% more blocks credited at home than on the road. The stats are freely available online to anyone who wants to question that
Fine, take away Jordan's DPOY. It doesn't downgrade Jordan from an A+ defender to just an A defender. It doesn't get LeBron more votes in any GOAT poll which was CLEARLY the point of the whole thing.

Before, assist is only counted with less than 2 dribbles. Now, you can take a pass, dribble more than thrice, jab and take a fade. Still counts as an assist. And we're here talking about stats inflation 😂

I like how Lebron was not mentioned once in the video but is the most commented topic. Interesting. Tells a lot about the insecurity of MJ fans
In my 32 years of life MJ lore went from "he has never missed a shot" to
"six for six, nuff said" to
"well, he's the BEST scorer of all time" to
"Well, no, it was never about the total, it's about the PEAK" to
"You see LeBron flop there?? MJ would NEVER" to
"It was his defense that really set him apart" to
"yeah, his defensive player of the year award was BS, and yeah, somehow Bron lost DPOY to a guy who was on the all NBA 2nd Defensive team, but I'd like to see Bron play BASEBALL"
Wow, there is so much lack of common sense here that my brain nearly exploded reading this.
1. LeBron himself can't keep Jordan out of his mouth. Your favorite media actors like Shannon Sharpe, Nick Wright and countless others can't keep Jordan out of their mouths. Everything used against Jordan is to prop up LeBron. Then when Jordan fans pop up for the latest attack, you fake surprise so you can pretend that Jordan fans are insecure? Laughable.
2. Who said Jordan "never missed a shot"?
3. Only idiots think "6 for 6" is the only argument Jordan has.
4. If this was ever about the total stats, then Kareem would've been the best ever, and still would be. He was 1st in points, with 6 championships and 6 league MVP's. Only after LeBron got the points record did yall try to act like it's about the totals.
5. Jordan averaged more points, steals and blocks with fewer turnovers. In both reg season and playoffs.
Jordan has a higher PER and win shares per 48 in both reg season and playoffs.
Jordan has 2 more championships, 1 more MVP and 3 more all-defense teams than LeBron, despite playing 6 fewer years.
There. I just wrapped this "debate" up without even mentioning the DPOY, which still counts. 👍
For the generation saying this Era is soft it's funny how they are the most sensitive lol.
Of course he is in the comment, since it’s Klutch sport propaganda and an already debunked one at that ( let’s analyze 7 games that no one can see but me…lol) Meanwhile LBJ gets assist after a guy received the ball, dribble 3 times then stop and shoots.

1 reason for Stockton having the assist record cause he played with Karl Malone, both were insanely healthy they played 1400 games together and with one being a pretty efficient assister and the other being a super effecient scorer i mean he was 1400 points of the record

@@itzwakk335 Jordan was already a superstar before Pippen even joined and Pippen was a role player during his first few seasons. Also, the Bulls were terrible during Jordan’s first few years. How do you think the Bulls were able to draft him in the first place? Even against the Pistons, Jordan still had to carry a weak supporting cast against a much more stacked Pistons team. Pippen was never a player who could carry a team as a first option. When Jordan temporarily retired the first time to play baseball, yes Pippen and the Bulls won 55 games, only 2 less than the Bulls had with Jordan the previous season. But going from a 3 time champion with Jordan to a second round exit without him is a huge difference. No regular season record is going to hide how they weren’t nearly as effective without Jordan. Another thing is that MJ is one for the most elite defenders ever at a guard position: 2nd most blocked shots for a guard, 4th all time in steals, and 9 all defense 1st teams. Also, for anyone who would argue the Pistons were weakened by the flagrant foul rule, that’s bullshit too. The Pistons allowed less PPG on defense in 1991 than 1990. Jordan faced 4 60+ win teams in the Finals and the other 2 won 55+ games, 5 out of 6 Finals series went to 6 games. Michael Jordan. If the refs actually favored Jordan and the Bullsto win championships, why did he average less FTAs during his losing seasons than his title winning seasons? Jordan only averaged the most FTAs in one season (which wasn’t during a championship season) and he was ejected once during 1992 (his second championship year). In 4 out of 6 Finals, his primary opponent shot more FTs despite taking less FGAs, in the other 2 Finals, Jordan did take more FTs but also took much more FGAs so that’s to be expected. The officiating was also highly biased towards Dennis Rodman during his time playing on the Chicago Bulls.
Tom Haberstroth has no credibility, dude graduated high school in 2004, a yr after bron dude was a MIAMI HEAT reporter during the yrs LeBron was there and he used a 6 game sample size out of 41 home games Jordan. Are we this stupid we can see the agenda here? Question the validity of the only award bron never won but only questions MJs validity, not any other DPOY recipient, let's not be stupid here
Karl Malone got them assist from Johnny
For an assist it’s usually 2 dribbles
Just 2 steals and 1 block

What’s next, Bronny Sr was stat padded on road games for his turnovers?? If they have to work this hard to discredit Jordan, speaks volumes on how far ahead he is. Take the DPOY from Jordan, does that not make him the GOAT now??
This is a very interesting topic~
Andy cooking with this one, let them old heads cry upon hearing the truth 🔥
I’m not an old head and still think the old Rea is better than this era
Not truth found little boy
@@crashbandicoot5636 Too bad that article was debunked. You Jordan haters will resort to anything to try and discredit his legacy.
Why does it matter? The NBA isn’t going to go back and change anything
They can if they want to but that alot of work. They do it now in the present because of betting.

@nonamewillbegiven7228 yes they can, that year is not certify for him. According to the report I read few days ago.

Jordan earned his DPOY fair and square 🏀
Thats sum big time GLAZING
@@nicedudefrfr How would you know? Did you watch his 1987-88 season?
I doubt your mom's bf had even glazed her to pop you out by the time Jordan had already retired
@@nicedudefrfrEven according to dipshit's fraudulent article, Jordan averaged 2.1 steals (4th) and 1.2 blocks (1st among guards and 21st overall) on the road.
Those are DPOY type of stats anyway. 🤷♂️
@@JeremyGraczyklol nice it's mostly Gen Z saying Jordan has a fake DPOY
No, he really didn’t. I love Jordan, he’s my GOAT but let’s not tell lies. He did not deserve that award at all.
Cool story bro. Is it just me or does this guys voice sound AI generated?
They shorten the 3 point line for MJ too and his 3 point percentages were at his best those years that they did it. Meanwhile they gave Tyson Chandler and Marc Gasol the DPOY in 2012, 2013… neither one of them could even make the FIRST TEAM ALL DEFENSE… it’s sad, these individual awards are honestly starting to become very meaningless. The media pushes narratives and it’s not fair. Bron should have ATLEAST one DPOY, which would obviously help is goat case ALOT… topic for another day but Jordan is also so blessed that he didn’t play in the social media era. One example, is that they would’ve crucified him for that 1991 ring. Pippen switching on to Magic changed the series and what’s even crazier.. Worthy and Scott were hurt and both missed games that series… if this was Bron, we’d hear how this was a Mickey Mouse ring or something… the NBA community has to be better
The nba shortened the 3 point line because scoring was decreasing but it didn’t do anything so they changed it and ,just guarded magic in games 3,4,5 if you watch the proper thing magic was only guarded by Scottie in game 2
1. Jordan was playing baseball when they shortened the line. 🤦♂️
2. Jordan shot .343 (LeBron's career %) in the 4 seasons prior to his retirement. He was fine from 3 and didn't need the league's help.
Dumb take. You were looking for likes and just came up with whatever asinine bullshit sounded cool.
That's the problem with you kids and the internet. You don't care about actually thinking things through or saying the (actual) correct thing.
You just care about saying something profound (right or wrong) that gets you noticed by others. Do better.
Try harder trolll with these usual false narratives
Hate it, love it, believe it, discredit it. it still happened. And so, that's what I take away from it, is being yourself on purpose in public all the time is the most important thing you can do as a human being and Michael did it with grace and humility on the grandest stage.
If you are one of those people who disparage the great minds and talents of the past to get recognition for yourself or acknowledgement of your existence, then that's on you, it reflects your poor character and culture.
Lebron may end up in the history books not as an ambassador for his achievements, but for discrediting others to get there.
The difference is that fans wanted Jordan to win. LeBron, on the other hand, has his hand and fingerprints all over the narratives. For a player to do something that vile is simply the lowest of the low.
Lebron is my generation, I'm just ashamed of it. Simply distasteful. Jordan played even before I was born. Similar to other great people Einstein, George Washington, but we all give our respect to them as they paved the way for us. Learn from them.
So lebron assist numbers not inflated 🤔
The best thing about Jordan's stat-keeping is the game where he was credited with 4 steals, and the opposing team only had 3 turnovers. Lack of video evidence is the only thing keeping the Jordan acolytes vocal about their prophet.
Wow. Someone found a single stat keeping anomaly and now you think we can just disregard a man's entire career.
Being a LeBron fan must be rough.
That game doesnt exist you trolll
Andy Hoops was a closeted LeBron stan all along 🙈🤦🏻 Who woulda guessed?!
It's so crazy how telling the truth about Michael Jordan makes you a LeBron fan lmao
If you watch his other videos he also criticize LeBron James a lot.
@@skymav6 No, he wasn’t ”telling the truth”. This whole ”research” on the 1987-88 DPOY was based on a sample size of six games, conveniently games which aren’t available on the internet or TH-cam. Instead, the stats were counted by watching ”some dude’s old VHS tape”. Seems legit.
Play by play was introduced to the NBA during the 2nd 3-peat. You can go watch those; there’s hundreds of games to go through. Doing so, you’ll find out that there is no discrepancy between how stats are counted for all other NBA players, and Michael Jordan’s stats. Nice try, misinformation is a key part of LeFraud’s fanbase and their attempt to undermine the GOATs of previous eras. Do better next time.
@@mirrorportal1587 He had the largest home road steal differential of all time. There's footage of games of him getting 28 steals where he only got 12. Those are facts the games are in HD.
And I'm not trying anything I didn't even say nothing bad about MJ.

What about LeBron's stat padding? The stuff he gets credited with is sometimes ridiculous to put it mildly. Or are you another LeBron fanboy?
Everyone will be labeled a Lebron fanatic when you doubt something about MJ 😂 im a forever MJ fan but i welcome facts like this. Inconsistency are being raised to the stars. Do you think there is an interest of inconsistency if its done with an unknown player? 😅 No one will care.
Yawn Lebron fanatic
You are not a MJ fan so nice try trolll
No facts found
So many hurt guys in the comments not actually paying attention to the acc video smh.
Every GOAT level player warps the game and stats a little bit. But in this case it seems to be worse in the 90s and earlier. Thats okay.
Jordan was still great and he said of his own award that its based off of reputation. Not the best award is all

WHAT? Jordan cried about not winning the award and the NBA gave it to him? 😂😂😂
No he didnt. Try harder trolll
MJ averaged similar stats in 1987 so home stat-keepers weren't required to "juice" up MJ's stats at home, especially when considering the fact that MJ played more minutes in 88 40.4>40.0
Ngl.. I never believed wilts 100 point game
It happened at an away game

So Jordan needed inflated bullshit stats to win his only DPOY of his career. MJ fans are crying right now 😭

Players don't "win" awards like DPY , they are given those awards by journalists.
Which is why you should never take any of them seriously.
Personally, I try to judge players on what they win on the court , the eye test and the advanced stats.
The rest I find unreliable.
I will go to my grave saying I would rather have Zack Randolph on my team that half the people that make All NBA on any given year.
@@andreasl_fr2666be quiet smooth brain
Michael Jordan never should've won dpoy. It's been proven. He's not as great of a defender as mj fanboys make him out to be
"It's been proven" is the most rock solid evidence I'll ever need. 😆
Yawn as usual trolll
You like to watch the world burn 😂
Anyone who actually watches the game notices a lot of sh*t! It’s way worse today than ever before. Refs allow traveling and bend the rules in certain teams’ favors. They say you can’t “dislodge” a defender when driving. That’s literally how Lebron has scored the vast majority of his points. LOL
It’s just kids on TikTok that try to make bron look better
Defensive player of the year award doesn't mean you are the best defensive player! Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant are both elite defenders and also LeBron James! I've seen Lebron James playing defensively and I was shocked! I said that is the greatest player ever!😺
