I am from Akron, a smaller city close to Cleveland where LeBron is also from. I remember being in Cleveland that night watching game 7 with some friends at a bar. When Kyrie made that game winning shot the energy in that bar was absolutely unreal. Beer was flying everywhere lol and everyone was just screaming their heads off. Complete strangers from all walks of life just hugging each other in the streets. It was truly magical and it’s something I’ll never forget. Thank you for another great video!
I love how she has more sense than most of the nba fans when it comes to debating between the two greats in MJ and LBJ… she distinguished the difference in expectations, criticisms and era that they played in, whereas the so called nba fans that debate between the two do not even factor those in…
Fun fact: The year Michael Jordan was drafted (1984), was the year LeBron James was born. The year Jordan retired for the final time (2003), was the year LeBron was drafted.
Your wife made the absolute best assessment and comparison of Lebron and MJ! I’ve lived through both eras of Michael Jordan and LeBron James, and have witnessed both of them in person. Your wife and daughters assessment is the best I’ve ever heard thus far.
I get so much pleasure from watching this wonderful family innocently and honestly assess individuals and events as first time witnesses. It's an absolute joy, the best thing going. Bless you all.
I remember watching your solo videos and I just wanna say you have an amazing family. I can tell you're a great dad to your kids and a loving husband to your lovely wife. Hopefully I get to see more family reactions to basketball in the future lol
GREAT REACTION!!!! Beautiful family.... Babygirl is so Smart, because she caught on by watching, and asked: "Do the ball have to leave your hand before the buzzer goes off" That was so cool to see.... KEEP EM COMING!!! #HAAP2
@@d.eking19he shot the same percentage has the majority of the league at the time, when 3-pointers weren't taking a lot per game. LeBron shoots and makes most of his baskets within 3 ft which is hilarious. Yes I am telling you that the stats show LeBron's points or mainly within 3 ft of the basket. That's why I don't have Wilt Chamberlain. You're talkin about a guy that we shooting hoops from 3 ft. I would say for someone that's 6 ft 8 and above shooting shots within three feet of a basket should be considered simple. If your teammate or somebody like this, then you would naturally assume they're going to make most of their shots within three feet . I'll ask you to go watch the link below which is the best comparison between LeBron and Jordan. I seriously doubt you will watch it. Be prepared if you do what you then you're going to recognize a common theme. LeBron is top 5 maybe. Kareem, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, Kobe Bryant, Bill Russell in the freaking list goes on and on. Every one of those guys are better. Luca and the joker are making NBA players look ridiculous th-cam.com/video/tl3mR6eoEa8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=iXK_4RMTRJi1qDPM
Sam, you were very close. I'm from Cleveland. When LeBron came "home" in 2015 (Akron is about 63 km, or 39 miles south of Cleveland), it was like his 4 years in Miami were college, because he went straight to the pros out of high school. When he got the Cavs a title in 2016, it was the first time our city won a major sports championship since the Browns won the NFL title in 1964...a few years before the Super Bowl was born...52 years! There were 1.3 million people a the championship parade a few days later!
I know you have the comments off on your last video. I just want to say something so say this here. You guys are great. You showed your kids how good people stand up and own a situation and handle it. ❤ Your channel has a lot to offer even without opening 10,000's of boxes lol.
They turned off comments so they would not have to see negative feedback about the poor way they handled the entire situation. They don't want people to spell out the truth, that they grifted people out of money and gifts to sponsor their trips. Then they blame those same generous people for making them fat. LMAO. I would never send them a dime. Sad that they are teaching their kids how to take advantage.
@@joshspeed7794what are you talking about? The fact that they didn’t realize what would happen? That’s not their fault. Things happen, and unforeseen situations are a real thing. They’re not blaming anyone for anything. They just said it happened. They didn’t say “it happened and it’s your fault”. If you don’t want to send them items or money, then don’t. That’s cool
Someone asked Jordan if him, Magic Johnson and Bird could beat Labrons team and by how much. MJ said they would beat them by A few points. When asked why only A few, his answer was " Well we are all in our 60s now. 😂😂😂
Growing up watching Kareem, Chamberlain, Dr J, Magic, Bird, Kobie, Russell, Shaq, Lebron, Curry, and now Jokic. Without a dought, Jordan is the GOAT though I like Kobie better, but the stats Mike.
Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player ever. Love him. I heard he couldn’t even make the Jr Varsity team in High School and was told he would never play basketball. I love how he went on to prove the naysayers wrong. You can do anything you put your mind to.
@areguapiri you forget that none of your favorite stars or players have ever won without another all star on their team? Whenever Michael Jordan had 1 other allstar on his team, he won the trophy every single time. So... BTW it's a team game. Lmao. Lebron has been playing for 21 years & has 4 championships..
@israymervalentin-arias6313 that may be true but Wilt Chamberlain introduced basketball to mainstream audiences. Without him blazing the trail, Jordan wouldn't of had a platform to become a multi-billion dollar athlete on. Actual athletes started joining the nba because of Wilt.
@@israymervalentin-arias6313 Not saying but you sound kinda ignorant and disrespectful and if you do love the game then have respect for it.Ignorant because you sound like you're not old enough to have witnessed anything enough to make such of a comment.
Im from Cleveland, and that night the cavs won the finals is something i will never forget, it didnt matter where you were everyone was celebrating. After Kyrie made that shot everyone was outside storming the streets. No matter how many people saying The Cavs couldnt do it, everyone in Northeast Ohio knew they could.
Jordan was criticized early as not a team-first guy like Magic Johnson and Larry Bird; he was considered just a flashy scorer by the media. But other players and coaches during that time knew the truth. "I didn't think anyone was capable of doing what Michael has done to us," Larry Bird marveled. "He is the most exciting, awesome player in the game today. I think it's just God disguised as Michael Jordan."
I know you guys may not understand necessarily but.. in America, sports are such a HUGE part of people’s lives… and watching this video.. I found myself with goosebumps all over my body a couple tears in my eye, and I felt like a kid again… basketball has been my life since I was kid, and it’s the sport I love the most, and Lebron James was the reason I got into basketball, and was my biggest inspiration all my life, there’s never been a player like him, and no one has ever been on top of his game as long as him.. my inner child that was just a kid with a dream of making it to NBA really came out watching this one, thank y’all for posting this ❤️
As an old timer, I give you my all-time top ten: 1) Michael Jordan, 2) Magic Johnson, 2) Wilt Chamberlain, 4) Bill Russell, 5) Larry Bird, 6) Lebron James, 7) Kareem Abdul Jabbar, 8) Tim Duncan, 9) Kobe Bryant, 10) Shaquille O'Neal. Also, do yourselves a favor and watch the Michael Jordan Historic Bulls Mix Tape. The Jordan video you viewed was sub-par.
Jordan will forever be the GOAT ,,,,,spend a night watching his highlights and listening to the greats that played against him and you'll see 100% hands down not even close!!
I watched the Jordan video and this and I love how the family asks questions and dads like “I don’t know for sure, I can’t really comment but…..” and then proceeds to be 100% correct about whatever he’s saying.
Wilt Chamberlain is the greatest ever in Basketball. He still holds 72 NBA records. No one will be able to be as dominant as Wilt Chamberlain was. He scored 100 points in a game. He averaged 50 points per game one season & like 20 rebounds in that same season. He probably had at least 10 blocked shots a game that season. They did not keep track of that stat back then.
Jordan. I think since he went to college and graduated he took time to mature before coming into league. Lebrun went right from high school. They changed the rules to change that.
The most impressive thing is LeBron came in as an 18 year old and was giving his contract and 90 mil by Nike, dudes never been in trouble and never gotten more than a speeding ticket in his career.. sounds pretty mature to me
@@codyeble0713 I disagree with you. Lebron was immature in his twenties. I don't remember Kobe or MJ making comedic persona commercials and mocking and making fun of Dirks flu in the 2011 nba finals. As of 2023, Lebron is a bitter and very sensitive person who can't take a joke about him. He also has a hatred towards european/european descent people with his oppressive attitude about it.
@@Trancymind kobe and mj would constantly talk shit to their teammate's and mj was a gambling addict/alcoholic. the only argument you have is him making a joke about Dirk early in his career (which was talking shit about his opponent not his teammates), nostalgia is a hell of a drug
@@lilcookie8 yeah he also didn’t go dick ride Wade and Bosch for two titles 2020 Mickey don’t even count so to me has one chip. Imagine Mike crying to Barkley and Ewing cause he couldn’t win his own team..lol
@@flat_life750huh? Lebron won all of those finals MVPs 🤣🤣 bron Is better than Jordan at passing rebounding shooting and scoring….all time points leader lmfaooooooo
Chicago Bulls also went to Semi-Finals in those 2 years he was gone which means Chicago was always a great team. Lebron's team always go to become the worst team in the NBA whenever he leaves. 🤷♂
@@dakprescottsattorney7906 yeah... if you play long enough... sure you'll get to points leader. Jordan had a higher career PPG and even higher playoff PPG.
New subscriber and love y’all! Jordan is the GOAT!!! If you are the person that they compare others to, aka saying it’s “Jordanesque,” that automatically makes you the best
Though I do agree with you on this specific example, I wouldn't say your statement always rings true. Sometimes they are compared to greats before them simply because those people were before him. lol Who else are you to compare them to? lol Plus, when it comes to sports media here in the US, you have to take it with a grain of salt. lol I am team Jordan, but most of the analysts at that time grew up idolizing Jordan, and were highly sceptical of this teenager coming into the NBA, known as the chosen one. The media, until recently, was heavily biased towards Jordan, whether it was valid or not. lol
Not sure if you've seen the definitive GOAT debate Lebron vs Jordan, but that might be a good reaction for the channel since you've watched videos on both players. It's a very good breakdown although a bit outdated. I believe it's 2 or 3 years old now. Still a good watch! Love the reactions!!
Mike made the team around him better, he knew he couldnt win a championship by hisself so he worked with the whole team and made them better he'd be in the weight room at 5am while his teammates were just coming in, he made the team work their butts off to get better and they did!!
This is the most backwards take ever. I hope this is a troll. He literally punched a teammate in the face and repeatedly demeaned and berated teammates.
Adam Morrison was an elite basketball player. He won 2 NBA rings back to back on the same team. Stockton was overrated 20 years same team= 0 NBA rings. Stockton had all stars in his squad, Eaton, (pedophile) K. Malone, Hornacek.
A "His Royal Airness" vs "King James" with both of them in the prime would be a sight for the ages had it not been for father time placing them in different eras. What would you pay to see these two in their prime battle it out on the ole court?
If you haven't done Steph Curry you really must. He is the best shooter on the league and changed the game. He's most famous for his 3 point shot. He's part of The Golden State Warrior's who have won several Championships over the past few years.
You would love watching “Lob City” highlights. It’s the LA Clippers team around 2011-2014 era where they had Blake Griffin and Chris Paul, and Paul used to throw Griffin so many alley oops and there would be so many crazy dunks they became known as Lob City. You’d have a blast watching those clips!
LeBron grew up in the city next to mine and it’s always cool driving past where he grew up and going to his high school for sporting events. His mom would always go to a restaurant where I live and I’ve saw her about 3 times. But I haven’t seen her in years so idk what happened
Notice the back spin on the ball, Very important, Back spin bring the rebound straight down forward spin the ball rebouds off the back board ... Fun fact
I understand the disabling of comments on "We lost control". I suspected the amount of mail being received was overwhelming. Glad we can all be on the same page and provide space in your home and mental health❤ excited for the unique pieces of mail to come if any
Hard to say, their styles and eras were so different. John Stockton is one of the most underrated players of all time. Other unlikely players to check out would be Spud Webb and Muggsy Bogues.
@@dsarmy1 But they shouldn't have lost. If they hadn't counted Pippin's three pointer, that was clearly late, and had counted Hornacek's three pointer, it would never have made it to game seven. But the Referees didn't have instant replay back then. Of course this is just speculation, maybe being down 3-1 would have pushed the Bulls to play harder, and they would have been the first team to come back from being down 3-1.
You gotta do the Kobe, who is actually built from the same cloth of MJ and who was a direct mentorship and success. They battled each other in their career transitions and Kobe being the torch carrier when MJ retired. MJ was one of Kobe's eulogy speakers at his funeral who couldn't hold back his tears. MJ and Kobe were for a couple decades were that only GOAT comparisons before LBJ was even thought about in that discussion.
i think if kobe was still alive he wouldve passed jordan lebron is just a modern day shaq but shaq was better yes lebron is probably the best of people playing now but definatly not the goat
It’s crazy I remember watching a video so you guys a year or 2 ago and the kids are really growing up I hope all of you guys are doing good. Keep up the good work and content
Please look at Michael Jordan's bulls historic mix tape in addition to the goat debate/ comparison. Many are considered great basketball players, but Jordan was truly an exceptional artist who utilized the court as his canvas. He was drawn to the rim, its like the ball was an extension of his arm. Truly unbelievable, an assisin who demanded respect on the court by many who feared him.
@@MeMyselfI_69 Imagine if Bird didn't play most of his career with a really bad back injury. Even with that though, he managed to get 67% of all MVP votes for the entire 1980s decade despite Jordan and Hakeem both being in the league for 6 of those years and both Magic and Kareem being in all 10 of them.
I have seen both MJ and Lebron play in person. Jordan did things on a court that just left you mesmerized. Lebron has too; but In my opinion, Jordan’s resume is greater and will go down as an overall better player than Lebron
MJ accomplished more in a short time than Lebron has with silverware. Jordan was undefeated in college championship games, nba finals, olympic gold medal matches. While Lebrons 2004 bronze medal, 2007 nba finals, 2011 nba finals... Oh brother...
@@Trancymind LeBron James are the goat every young player say lebron are the goat oustside basket this is what make lebron he help poor people make new house for them Jordan would go in the casino
@@micahjohnson138 Personally as people neither Jordan nor James were my role models. The ones I like are the humble ones who don't think they are important and the ones who don't feel oppressed by other groups or ethnic people.
Anyone who considers this an actual debate doesn’t understand. It is MJ all day. I understand if folks from Australia don’t understand, because they didn’t have the ability to watch. It is refreshing to see a kind family like this explore and try to understand.
I live near where lebron went to high school. I almost transferred to St. Vincent St. Mary’s high school myself. I had family members who used to see lebron play in high school and I got the chance to see him play in Cleveland. It was amazing
Whoever’s reading this, I pray that whatever your going through gets better and whatever your struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
This Lebron MJ debate has been going on for quite some time but just points production isn't the only factor. If you look at the analytics video it puts them into their respective positions and how they rank. Numbers aren't biased so that should put the debate to rest.
Very, very small minority would argue that. The reality is that Michael Jordan was far superior to Bird in skill (both sides of the ball), accolades and championships. Magic/Bird is the appropriate comparison -- Jordan is on a whole different level. MJ is still the benchmark.
@@Jay-bf5iu Lol yeah, I LOVE Larry Bird, but nobody outside of Boston is arguing that he's the GOAT, and even Boston fans (at least the non-racist ones) will likely name Bill Russell as the GOAT.
@@shawnmichaelsbellybuttonri9871 Exactly! No one. Bird "GOAT" supporters are extremely small but very vocal on TH-cam. Some of his fans embrace the "Great White Hope" sentiment associate with him which ultimately motivates their bias in favor of him. Clearly, racial bias plays a role in some peoples support of him as the "GOAT."
That's false! Jordan never lost in the finals! Jordan won 6 championships! Jordan won offensive and defensive player of the year! Bird won 3 championships!
APPALACHIA is up in the mountains in America ... from New York- Tennessee mountain people. They have a sandwich you may find interesting. White bread, bananas/sliced and mayo. I tried it and love it.

Just a comment: On your " We lost control" video you said you had to remove the expired items from a box. Probably did not need to do that. Most non-refridgerated food items are perfectly good up to a year or more past the expiration date. USA expiration dates are basically sell by dates for retailers. Legally a retailer can not sell the item past that date. Expiration dates in no way means you can not consume after that date. It is more of a freshness check. To insure " freshness" it is consumed before that date. I can go in my pantry right now and grab a jar of unopened jelly that expired a year ago and it is perfectly fine to eat. Same for can goods and even some snack food. Usually a year or two even past the expiration date is just fine. Almost any food anyone sends you that is expired is still 100% safe to eat.
MJ is EASILY the 🐐 for me. It's hard to compare different era's. Not hard, impossible. My personal favorite and my 🐐 is Hakeem Olajuwon. He's pretty much royalty here in Houston. I grew up watching him and I was sooooo very lucky. Sad we never got that Chicago Bulls vs Houston Rockets finals. 😔
One thing they miss is his IQ and how he can literally tell what the other team is running therefore allowing him to control the game .. wish this video explained that for y’all more
That's a lebron narrative. All the greats could do that. I could do that my damn self. You played against the same offenses and players since 14. You should know their tendencies.
@@mostmost1 you do realize over time coaches change, systems change, players change right? .. and maybe you are a genius man I don’t know you so I’m not gonna just be a hater … but if his opponents and his teammates unanimously agree that this skill sets him apart from the rest I’m gonna trust their anecdotal evidence
@@jboogie2212 they speak about him compared to guys they played with. Many more do this was my point. Many are bone heads. I played with guys who didn't know their position let alone everyone's. I agree with that. However CP3, Rondo, Kyrie, Luka, Kawhi have that IQ as well. They had it on both sides of the ball. Bron in no way has a high IQ defensively or the will to make it happen.
Was watching one of your videos ( coney dogs ) thought I would let you know an easy why to get the grease out of the pan when you cook ground meet . Just tilt pan and use paper towels to collect the grease.
There's really no way to compare players who didn't play in same era, unless they played directly against each other, and for multiple seasons... Everyone has favorites of course, next check out some old school players who DID play vs MJ and were great too... Bird and Iverson are both remarkable, no matter who they played...
Except Shaq played with all the greats and said himself, MJ was the goat undisputed. (And thats without even looking at how ridiculous Shaq was as a player)
Beeing from Ohio I saw LeBron when he was in high school and saw his team play in the championship game and he was jumping over guys, but he only won 1 championship while in high school, didnt go to college, he went straight into pros, now in all fairness while in high school his team was traveling all over the country playing the best teams in the country, not even Michael did that, but for me the easiest comparison to make beetween the two is this how many championships did they win, Michael 6 LeBron 3 not to mention Michael won 2 back to back to back championships, I watched Mike beat the Celtics in Chicago right after the Celtics won the NBA championship and Mike put up 65 pts that night, how many 65 pt games did LeBron have???
Lebron has 4 championships. Michael Jordan could not have won a championship with the team that the Cavs surrounded LeBron with. In the first Finals with the Warriors, Kyrie was injured much of the time and the Cavs were playing shorthanded. Mathew Dellavedova was the doing the best he could to fill-in, and ended up in the hospital after one of the games to receive fluids. The Cavs won the second series, so the Warriors went out and got Kevin Durant to go with Draymond Green, Steph Curry, and Clay Thompson (plus Iguodala), while Kyrie Irving went into pouting mode, then left. Michael Jordan and company could not have beaten the Warriiors team that the Cavs faced in the 3rd and 4th championship series.
I'm not sure how close you guys are to Auckland but the New Zealand Breakers play 10 home games at Spark Arena starting up again September 30th. They've had 4 players get drafted into the NBA in recent years and the league they play in (NBL) is one of the top professional leagues in the world. It's become a sort of feeder league into the NBA where top young prospects choose to start their professional careers rather than playing in college in the states. It's VERY GOOD basketball & I think would be worth checking out if you guys have hoops fever!
Jordan and James are 1A and 1B, different players different eras. Also have to remember the career records are different not just because Jordan left to play baseball but he had to play at least 3 seasons of college basketball before turning pro, James got to go straight to the pros from high school. Jordan was a great college player too, made what's known as "The Shot" during his time at North Carolina.
Nice family Jordan smaller skinnier than James but more skilful and more exciting to watch, played the hardest times vs bigger James no skills can push guys with his size. People who plays basketball can see the difference between them technical side
I'm old enough to have watched the prime of Michael Jordan as well as LeBron's entire career, and to me it's Jordan by a significant margin. Watching LeBron play felt like I was watching someone that was superhuman, but watching Jordan play felt like I was watching someone who was inhuman. Jordan also received a lot of criticism especially in his earlier years due to not being able to get past Larry Bird's Celtics and the Bad Boy Pistons, but LeBron played in an era where debate shows and talking heads on TV took over actual analysis and play-by-play, so LeBron was definitely criticized more, excessively so. HOWEVER, a lot of the criticism LeBron faced and faces, he brought and brings upon himself. From calling HIMSELF "King James" and "The Chosen One", from choosing the number 23 as if saying "I'm the next Jordan" (going so far as doing the remake of "Space Jam"), from using a 1-hour special to announce his decision to play in Miami, from guaranteeing "not 5, not 6, not 7" championships in Miami and underdelivering and losing in the first Finals they play in, LeBron is often a victim of his own excessive self-promotion. Talent-wise, there may have been none better, not even Jordan, but Jordan always came off as the guy who wanted to show you he was great, but LeBron is someone who will tell you that he is great, and that I think is the crux of where the LeBron hate comes from. That being said, LeBron is top-3 all time, without question.
I watched both too and let me tell you, Lebron is just better. The thing that sealed the deal for me is when KD joined the warriors because that’s exactly what the bulls were back in the day, head and shoulders better than everyone. You said it yourself, Jordan was nothing without Scottie, Dennis, and Phil. Not to mention people that didn’t see Mj, saw the same exact player in Kobe. Mj was the first of this modern athlete and ahead of his time.
Lebrons nicknames were not self-proclaimed. I’ve only ever heard Jordan fans say this. He embraced the names but didn’t give them to himself. He wore number 23 because Jordan was his favorite player growing up, and he has said this. Not because he thinks he’s better. The one hour special to announce the decision was for charity and all of the proceeds went to the Boys & Girls club. Lebron may self promote but no superstar in the history of the NBA has given back as much as he has. Jordan was raised in a two parent household and still turned out to be a gambling addict, trash person who punches his teammates. Lebron was raised broke, without a father and overcame the odds to have no scandals or any blemishes of character. Also, Lebron is top 2 all time, no question. He is the greatest statistical player of all time, averages and totals.
jordan is not better. Lebron is good at everything in basketball. Jordan just a good scorer and a perimetrer defender. also he didnt named himself "the king", media did. He never said "im gonna be the next jordan". Also he didnt have the purpose to make space jam. They called him and offered him a lot of money. Yall jordan stans are stupid 🤡🤡🤡 af
@@shawnmichaelsbellybuttonri9871 “Jordan couldn’t get past Bird or the pistons” lol he didn’t win until the guys who actually did what it took to win came along. Anybody can score 35 a game and lose, ask Kyrie Irving
LeBron has 4 titles and 4 championship MVPs with the most playoff wins and playoff series wins in a tougher era to win than MJs while playing in a league where organizations form teams just to try and beat him...he's so mentally tough and clutch it's insane, while also having all time great stats no one can touch...no one has won more than him ever since he got drafted...his total winning percentage is also insane bc he's played 20 years so far and so many games and minutes
Ok, I love you guys but I need to set you straight on a few things. Jordan has 6 rings, James has 4. Not 5 or 6. Jordan still holds the record for highest average points per game. And Jordan got just as much criticism early in in his career as the successor to Magic Johnson.
highest average per game because he shot the ball more than lebron. Dont get it twisted. GF% wise lebron is a better shooter, not just statistically but he actually is. Jordan did not get nearly as much criticism as lebron youre just delusional at this point. There wasn't even social media when MJ was in the league. Not to mention Lebron signed a 90 million dollar contract with Nike before he even joined the league as an 18 year old being deemed the "chosen one" before ever even playing a single game in the NBA. Dont compare jordan to Magic when they were nowhere near the same player. Magic was a PG who passed, MJ was a shooter, and thats it. Lebron statically averaged more blocks, rebounds, and assists than Jordan. Charles Barkley just said there has been no other athlete in history who had the expectations that lebron did, and lebron is the only player in the history of the game as an 18 year old highschooler who went into the NBA and was already great. Jordan had 4 years of college and was cut from his highschool basketball team, barkley also touched on that as well. It took years before Jordan was great, Lebron came in younger and was already better.
@coreyrohrbaugh4673 LeBron has been good for his whole career and still couldn't accumulate the success jordan did. I will put it simply. Jordan, dwade, and bosh would've never lost to the mavericks. Jordan, kyrie, and love would've never made the 3-1 comeback because they wouldn't have went down that badly in the first place. Depsite the amount of talent bron handpicked to play with him he still was less successful. Lebrons also lead in turnovers all time. Jordan is far superior on the defensive end. Lebron only plays off ball defense. On ball he is mediocre. He's an awful leader and will place the blame on anybody else and treats his teamates like chess pieces. But even with him playing gm he still couldn't eclipse Jordan. Instead he's tied with steph who played in the same Era as him and has had just as much success as lebron.
@tyusbrooks9997 steph you mean the dude who has 4 titles and only 1mvp? Don't disrespect lebron by even putting him in the same sentence. Dude literally went and recruited him after he got beat by the cavs. And Durant went to the team that beat him. I don't ever remember lebron going to a team that beat him. A 72-9 team at that. A better team than jordans. Jordan played in a more physical era with less talented players don't get it twisted. Jordans era wasn't shooting the ball like today's era. And Jordan. Tell me what did Jordan do in those 9 years he didn't make the finals? 6 of those 9 came by losses to bird and IT😂😂😂
@coreyrohrbaugh4673 Steph is a 2 time mvp and the only unanimous mvp in nba history. If you're referring to finals mvp even iggy said steph should've won over him. Yes kd won both while he was there but the cabs coach at the time said their goal was to stop steph first so their entire game plan was stopping steph not Durant. Steph is a selfless player so he had no problem letting kd put up better numbers. And lebron invented the recruiting game. And who cares about how many times lebron went to the finals. He has a losing record in the finals. You went to the finals more times then jordan and has less championships. How does that even work? He made all those appearances because the east sucked. When he had to play western conference teams he got beat majority of the time. Including being swept twice. And before you say anything about the warriors being unbeatable james harden almost took them out. Yet lebron couldn't win a single game.
One thing I take into consideration is that LeBron had to find a superteam to win a title but Michael won all his titles with the team he had, he didn't hunt for teammates to win
MJ made Pippen great. He gave him no choice, be great or leave the team. Think that's why a lot of people hate on LBJ. He was always chasing the stacked team so he could easy mode to the finals. Even with help, he couldn't get it done several times. On top of that, his arrogance was out of control. Not surprising though when you're hyped up like that from freshman year of high school.
Actually LeBron is from Akron, Ohio which is mid-sized town about 30 miles South of Cleveland. I am an Akronite and have seen LeBron play in high school years.
Kobe is also a must see he inspired me in many ways by his mentality that he had and I hope he will inspire y’all if they decide to watch him in action
Lebron is probably the most criticized athlete of all time in any sport in America, Since he was in high school he's had the biggest spotlight on him. His stats are GOAT level easily. IMO Lebron is the all around goat. Assists, points, rebounds, defense, great TEAM player as well. Also the fact that this is a debate and He's not even retired yet is wild. I feel after his retirement he will be seen as the greatest of all time. GOOD video
Nobody outdoes Michael Jordan. Kareem Abdul-jabbar is still an awesome guy. I’m a hockey girl myself. The Detroit Red Wings are my team and I live in Colorado.
21:19 He was, but he was very good at protecting his brand. Because David Stern started his stint as Commissioner just before Jordan, he also helped to protect Jordan's criticisms somewhat, especially when nobody really said much just after Jordan returned from foot injuries in his second season.

@stcprecise9540 King Flop.
I am from Akron, a smaller city close to Cleveland where LeBron is also from. I remember being in Cleveland that night watching game 7 with some friends at a bar. When Kyrie made that game winning shot the energy in that bar was absolutely unreal. Beer was flying everywhere lol and everyone was just screaming their heads off. Complete strangers from all walks of life just hugging each other in the streets. It was truly magical and it’s something I’ll never forget. Thank you for another great video!
Kyrie won that chip... LeChina still has never won a ring on his own. Such a shame he'll always go down as LeFraud
I was there and some guy jumped through a window he was so excited and blood just running down his face
@@roudyman777 he will go down as the best player to touch a basketball 🤣
What was your reaction to Brons block prior to kyrie’s championship sealing three?
I’m from the ak too Wassup boi!
I love how she has more sense than most of the nba fans when it comes to debating between the two greats in MJ and LBJ… she distinguished the difference in expectations, criticisms and era that they played in, whereas the so called nba fans that debate between the two do not even factor those in…
Mj a finesse player people just think his game is pretty. They don’t actually understand the game though
The wife🤔………yeah it’s crazy how accurate she was!!🤷🏽♂️
Fun fact: The year Michael Jordan was drafted (1984), was the year LeBron James was born. The year Jordan retired for the final time (2003), was the year LeBron was drafted.
thats why lebron is the chosen one
@@toxicgroup5151naaa is the chosen two!! Space jam bro!!
@@hiphopper4life83?
And LeBron's only two jersey numbers are MJ's traditional number and the number of rings and finals mvp's won by MJ.
Lebron was designed in a lab to beat MJ
Your wife made the absolute best assessment and comparison of Lebron and MJ! I’ve lived through both eras of Michael Jordan and LeBron James, and have witnessed both of them in person. Your wife and daughters assessment is the best I’ve ever heard thus far.
Wifey really smart how she picked up the differences in their game and little nuances in their careers just from these 2 videos 💯❤️
Larry Bird is a must see in this quest.
GOAT
Agreed
Eh
The Hick from French Lick Indiana. The UNDISPUTED King of Basketball !!! They won’t mention him because he’s a White Man.
Bird all the way!
I get so much pleasure from watching this wonderful family innocently and honestly assess individuals and events as first time witnesses. It's an absolute joy, the best thing going.
Bless you all.
THANK YOU SO VERY VERY VERY MUCH FOR COMING BACK ON TO THE FAMILY.
I remember watching your solo videos and I just wanna say you have an amazing family. I can tell you're a great dad to your kids and a loving husband to your lovely wife. Hopefully I get to see more family reactions to basketball in the future lol
GREAT REACTION!!!! Beautiful family.... Babygirl is so Smart, because she caught on by watching, and asked: "Do the ball have to leave your hand before the buzzer goes off" That was so cool to see.... KEEP EM COMING!!! #HAAP2
I may not have watched it but I remember hearing about it 🎉🎉🎉 everywhere... MJ and LJ are both legendary in there own way.
You’re right. Lebron can’t shoot free throws. That’s legendary.
His flopping is legendary too
@@GlendonPerkinsgpMj can’t shoot three points that’s way more legendary 😂
idk why people cant just leave it at that, people always wanna compare, like just enjoy greatness
@@d.eking19he shot the same percentage has the majority of the league at the time, when 3-pointers weren't taking a lot per game. LeBron shoots and makes most of his baskets within 3 ft which is hilarious. Yes I am telling you that the stats show LeBron's points or mainly within 3 ft of the basket. That's why I don't have Wilt Chamberlain. You're talkin about a guy that we shooting hoops from 3 ft. I would say for someone that's 6 ft 8 and above shooting shots within three feet of a basket should be considered simple. If your teammate or somebody like this, then you would naturally assume they're going to make most of their shots within three feet . I'll ask you to go watch the link below which is the best comparison between LeBron and Jordan. I seriously doubt you will watch it. Be prepared if you do what you then you're going to recognize a common theme. LeBron is top 5 maybe. Kareem, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, Kobe Bryant, Bill Russell in the freaking list goes on and on. Every one of those guys are better. Luca and the joker are making NBA players look ridiculous th-cam.com/video/tl3mR6eoEa8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=iXK_4RMTRJi1qDPM
Sam, you were very close. I'm from Cleveland. When LeBron came "home" in 2015 (Akron is about 63 km, or 39 miles south of Cleveland), it was like his 4 years in Miami were college, because he went straight to the pros out of high school. When he got the Cavs a title in 2016, it was the first time our city won a major sports championship since the Browns won the NFL title in 1964...a few years before the Super Bowl was born...52 years! There were 1.3 million people a the championship parade a few days later!
2016 was the greatest finals ever man
And JR Smith still hasn't put a shirt on since then lol
2016 NBA Finals was rigged. Game 6 Currys 6 fouls calls. Loll! Ridiculous. I know 3 of them were fouls calls but the other 3 'controversy'.
I remember when Cleveland won the finals we was celebrating all night in Akron
@@TrancymindNigga, quit crying goofy 😂😂🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡
Discussion over! MJ Even a lovely family form NZ knows.
I know you have the comments off on your last video. I just want to say something so say this here. You guys are great. You showed your kids how good people stand up and own a situation and handle it. ❤ Your channel has a lot to offer even without opening 10,000's of boxes lol.
They turned off comments so they would not have to see negative feedback about the poor way they handled the entire situation. They don't want people to spell out the truth, that they grifted people out of money and gifts to sponsor their trips. Then they blame those same generous people for making them fat. LMAO. I would never send them a dime. Sad that they are teaching their kids how to take advantage.
@@joshspeed7794what are you talking about? The fact that they didn’t realize what would happen? That’s not their fault. Things happen, and unforeseen situations are a real thing.
They’re not blaming anyone for anything. They just said it happened. They didn’t say “it happened and it’s your fault”. If you don’t want to send them items or money, then don’t. That’s cool
I know I’m Late but LeBron as Over 40k Points 11k Rebounds 11k Assist first players to ever do that in the NBA 🐐🐐🐐
Someone asked Jordan if him, Magic Johnson and Bird could beat Labrons team and by how much. MJ said they would beat them by A few points. When asked why only A few, his answer was " Well we are all in our 60s now. 😂😂😂
Now THAT'S a burn!
Lol
Jordan was a legendary trash talker...nice to see him still havin' fun! 😂
I'm not here to debate who the goat is, but I will say MJ is the undefeated champ of trash talk lol
@@travisboman7531corny
Growing up watching Kareem, Chamberlain, Dr J, Magic, Bird, Kobie, Russell, Shaq, Lebron, Curry, and now Jokic. Without a dought, Jordan is the GOAT though I like Kobie better, but the stats Mike.
I would agree if you wasn’t spelling Kobe like “Kobie” lol
@@sjwilliams5883 spell check always make that mistake.
MJ & LJ are both legends of their time.
I agree with Mrs at 17:05, footage quality and camera angles do a lot of job today compared to the 90s videos.
Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player ever. Love him.
I heard he couldn’t even make the Jr Varsity team in High School and was told he would never play basketball. I love how he went on to prove the naysayers wrong. You can do anything you put your mind to.
He also couldn't win without Scottie Pippen.
@areguapiri you forget that none of your favorite stars or players have ever won without another all star on their team? Whenever Michael Jordan had 1 other allstar on his team, he won the trophy every single time. So... BTW it's a team game. Lmao. Lebron has been playing for 21 years & has 4 championships..
Wilt Chamberlain is often overlooked and even dismissed. Check him out for yourself 🏀

@israymervalentin-arias6313 that may be true but Wilt Chamberlain introduced basketball to mainstream audiences. Without him blazing the trail, Jordan wouldn't of had a platform to become a multi-billion dollar athlete on. Actual athletes started joining the nba because of Wilt.
@@israymervalentin-arias6313 Not saying but you sound kinda ignorant and disrespectful and if you do love the game then have respect for it.Ignorant because you sound like you're not old enough to have witnessed anything enough to make such of a comment.
Im from Cleveland, and that night the cavs won the finals is something i will never forget, it didnt matter where you were everyone was celebrating. After Kyrie made that shot everyone was outside storming the streets. No matter how many people saying The Cavs couldnt do it, everyone in Northeast Ohio knew they could.
Do you watch cricket 🏏
Jordan was criticized early as not a team-first guy like Magic Johnson and Larry Bird; he was considered just a flashy scorer by the media. But other players and coaches during that time knew the truth. "I didn't think anyone was capable of doing what Michael has done to us," Larry Bird marveled. "He is the most exciting, awesome player in the game today. I think it's just God disguised as Michael Jordan."
Jordan only won with Scottie Pippen.
I know you guys may not understand necessarily but.. in America, sports are such a HUGE part of people’s lives… and watching this video.. I found myself with goosebumps all over my body a couple tears in my eye, and I felt like a kid again… basketball has been my life since I was kid, and it’s the sport I love the most, and Lebron James was the reason I got into basketball, and was my biggest inspiration all my life, there’s never been a player like him, and no one has ever been on top of his game as long as him.. my inner child that was just a kid with a dream of making it to NBA really came out watching this one, thank y’all for posting this ❤️
Really astute analysis by the misses, impressive to recognize the nuances of the eras and skills for someone who doesn’t watch basketball
I highly recommend The Last Dance and Air if you haven't seen them. Great insights into what MJ did for the game and very entertaining overall.
As an old timer, I give you my all-time top ten: 1) Michael Jordan, 2) Magic Johnson, 2) Wilt Chamberlain, 4) Bill Russell, 5) Larry Bird, 6) Lebron James, 7) Kareem Abdul Jabbar, 8) Tim Duncan, 9) Kobe Bryant, 10) Shaquille O'Neal. Also, do yourselves a favor and watch the Michael Jordan Historic Bulls Mix Tape. The Jordan video you viewed was sub-par.

Wilt Chamberlain is the greatest ever in Basketball. He still holds 72 NBA records. No one will be able to be as dominant as Wilt Chamberlain was. He scored 100 points in a game. He averaged 50 points per game one season & like 20 rebounds in that same season. He probably had at least 10 blocked shots a game that season. They did not keep track of that stat back then.
Bro that era was trash💀😭😭😭
Jordan. I think since he went to college and graduated he took time to mature before coming into league. Lebrun went right from high school. They changed the rules to change that.
The most impressive thing is LeBron came in as an 18 year old and was giving his contract and 90 mil by Nike, dudes never been in trouble and never gotten more than a speeding ticket in his career.. sounds pretty mature to me
@@codyeble0713 I disagree with you. Lebron was immature in his twenties. I don't remember Kobe or MJ making comedic persona commercials and mocking and making fun of Dirks flu in the 2011 nba finals. As of 2023, Lebron is a bitter and very sensitive person who can't take a joke about him. He also has a hatred towards european/european descent people with his oppressive attitude about it.
@@Trancymind kobe and mj would constantly talk shit to their teammate's and mj was a gambling addict/alcoholic. the only argument you have is him making a joke about Dirk early in his career (which was talking shit about his opponent not his teammates), nostalgia is a hell of a drug
Michael had the flu and still won. He also won 3 in a row, left for 2 years, came back, then won 3 more in a row.
he also hasnt won without scottie and also in the flu game was left wide open and went sub 50% watch the game bud

@@dakprescottsattorney7906 yeah... if you play long enough... sure you'll get to points leader. Jordan had a higher career PPG and even higher playoff PPG.

Jordan is the GOAT!!! If you are the person that they compare others to, aka saying it’s “Jordanesque,” that automatically makes you the best
Though I do agree with you on this specific example, I wouldn't say your statement always rings true. Sometimes they are compared to greats before them simply because those people were before him. lol Who else are you to compare them to? lol Plus, when it comes to sports media here in the US, you have to take it with a grain of salt. lol I am team Jordan, but most of the analysts at that time grew up idolizing Jordan, and were highly sceptical of this teenager coming into the NBA, known as the chosen one. The media, until recently, was heavily biased towards Jordan, whether it was valid or not. lol
Not sure if you've seen the definitive GOAT debate Lebron vs Jordan, but that might be a good reaction for the channel since you've watched videos on both players. It's a very good breakdown although a bit outdated. I believe it's 2 or 3 years old now. Still a good watch! Love the reactions!!
ANGRY OLD HOOPS FAN is out there to fill in that 2-3 year gap. That guy is priceless.
Happy Father’s Day!! But the way you guys reacted to some person honking was somehow funny 😂💀❤
Mike made the team around him better, he knew he couldnt win a championship by hisself so he worked with the whole team and made them better he'd be in the weight room at 5am while his teammates were just coming in, he made the team work their butts off to get better and they did!!
So did bron

@@MrToyman79 EXACTLY! Taken way to young.

Adam Morrison was an elite basketball player. He won 2 NBA rings back to back on the same team. Stockton was overrated 20 years same team= 0 NBA rings. Stockton had all stars in his squad, Eaton, (pedophile) K. Malone, Hornacek.
This family is fun to watch. Their reactions are priceless. lol
You guys should look at how identical MJ and Kobe’s game was. There’s many videos on them doing the exact same plays lol.
Considering the mentorship between both, and that Kobe modeled his game after Jordan, are you surprised?
@@bobul2Nope. But it’s freaky how similar Kobe played compared to MJ lol.
A "His Royal Airness" vs "King James" with both of them in the prime would be a sight for the ages had it not been for father time placing them in different eras. What would you pay to see these two in their prime battle it out on the ole court?
If you haven't done Steph Curry you really must. He is the best shooter on the league and changed the game. He's most famous for his 3 point shot. He's part of The Golden State Warrior's who have won several Championships over the past few years.
You would love watching “Lob City” highlights. It’s the LA Clippers team around 2011-2014 era where they had Blake Griffin and Chris Paul, and Paul used to throw Griffin so many alley oops and there would be so many crazy dunks they became known as Lob City. You’d have a blast watching those clips!
LeBron grew up in the city next to mine and it’s always cool driving past where he grew up and going to his high school for sporting events. His mom would always go to a restaurant where I live and I’ve saw her about 3 times. But I haven’t seen her in years so idk what happened
Larry Bird is the GOAT team player! Can you fix the sound on the videos that you show so the volume is louder?
LARRY! They all were in awe of Larry Bird.
Notice the back spin on the ball, Very important, Back spin bring the rebound straight down forward spin the ball rebouds off the back board ... Fun fact
I understand the disabling of comments on "We lost control". I suspected the amount of mail being received was overwhelming. Glad we can all be on the same page and provide space in your home and mental health❤ excited for the unique pieces of mail to come if any
Hard to say, their styles and eras were so different. John Stockton is one of the most underrated players of all time. Other unlikely players to check out would be Spud Webb and Muggsy Bogues.
The Spud Webb dunk contest is a must watch for anyone even remotely interested in basketball. Just iconic.
I’m with you on Stockton and Bogues. I loved watching them play.
If Stockton won a championship he would be brought up more. No doubt he was great and his assist and steals records have now held for 20 years.
Also at least Stockton can say he lost to the best player of all time and the best team.
@@dsarmy1 But they shouldn't have lost. If they hadn't counted Pippin's three pointer, that was clearly late, and had counted Hornacek's three pointer, it would never have made it to game seven. But the Referees didn't have instant replay back then. Of course this is just speculation, maybe being down 3-1 would have pushed the Bulls to play harder, and they would have been the first team to come back from being down 3-1.
Larry Bird. He'd have every player in the league today on the bench with their face in their hands crying their eyes out.
You gotta do the Kobe, who is actually built from the same cloth of MJ and who was a direct mentorship and success. They battled each other in their career transitions and Kobe being the torch carrier when MJ retired. MJ was one of Kobe's eulogy speakers at his funeral who couldn't hold back his tears. MJ and Kobe were for a couple decades were that only GOAT comparisons before LBJ was even thought about in that discussion.

Please look at Michael Jordan's bulls historic mix tape in addition to the goat debate/ comparison. Many are considered great basketball players, but Jordan was truly an exceptional artist who utilized the court as his canvas. He was drawn to the rim, its like the ball was an extension of his arm. Truly unbelievable, an assisin who demanded respect on the court by many who feared him.
Larry Bird is the GOAT. What the Making the Case video on Larry Bird.
LOL as great as he is, he is never in the GOAT conversation. In fact didn't Bird all Jordan "God disguised as Michael Jordan"
@@MeMyselfI_69 Imagine if Bird didn't play most of his career with a really bad back injury. Even with that though, he managed to get 67% of all MVP votes for the entire 1980s decade despite Jordan and Hakeem both being in the league for 6 of those years and both Magic and Kareem being in all 10 of them.
I have seen both MJ and Lebron play in person. Jordan did things on a court that just left you mesmerized. Lebron has too; but
In my opinion, Jordan’s resume is greater and will go down as an overall better player than Lebron
MJ accomplished more in a short time than Lebron has with silverware. Jordan was undefeated in college championship games, nba finals, olympic gold medal matches. While Lebrons 2004 bronze medal, 2007 nba finals, 2011 nba finals... Oh brother...

I live near where lebron went to high school. I almost transferred to St. Vincent St. Mary’s high school myself. I had family members who used to see lebron play in high school and I got the chance to see him play in Cleveland. It was amazing
Whoever’s reading this, I pray that whatever your going through gets better and whatever your struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
This Lebron MJ debate has been going on for quite some time but just points production isn't the only factor. If you look at the analytics video it puts them into their respective positions and how they rank. Numbers aren't biased so that should put the debate to rest.
Agreed. Lebron averaged and still doesnt more assists and rebounds a game as well.
Watch A Larry Bird highlight reel. He didn't fly like Mike but some may argue he's the Goat because of his abilities.
Very, very small minority would argue that. The reality is that Michael Jordan was far superior to Bird in skill (both sides of the ball), accolades and championships. Magic/Bird is the appropriate comparison -- Jordan is on a whole different level. MJ is still the benchmark.
@@Jay-bf5iu Lol yeah, I LOVE Larry Bird, but nobody outside of Boston is arguing that he's the GOAT, and even Boston fans (at least the non-racist ones) will likely name Bill Russell as the GOAT.
@@shawnmichaelsbellybuttonri9871 Exactly! No one. Bird "GOAT" supporters are extremely small but very vocal on TH-cam. Some of his fans embrace the "Great White Hope" sentiment associate with him which ultimately motivates their bias in favor of him.

That's false! Jordan never lost in the finals! Jordan won 6 championships! Jordan won offensive and defensive player of the year! Bird won 3 championships!

Just a comment: On your " We lost control" video you said you had to remove the expired items from a box. Probably did not need to do that. Most non-refridgerated food items are perfectly good up to a year or more past the expiration date. USA expiration dates are basically sell by dates for retailers. Legally a retailer can not sell the item past that date. Expiration dates in no way means you can not consume after that date. It is more of a freshness check. To insure " freshness" it is consumed before that date. I can go in my pantry right now and grab a jar of unopened jelly that expired a year ago and it is perfectly fine to eat. Same for can goods and even some snack food. Usually a year or two even past the expiration date is just fine. Almost any food anyone sends you that is expired is still 100% safe to eat.
They aren't even reading the comments. Lol. This family is grifting and then blaming their victims for being fat. Lmao
MJ is EASILY the 🐐 for me. It's hard to compare different era's. Not hard, impossible. My personal favorite and my 🐐 is Hakeem Olajuwon. He's pretty much royalty here in Houston. I grew up watching him and I was sooooo very lucky. Sad we never got that Chicago Bulls vs Houston Rockets finals. 😔
One thing they miss is his IQ and how he can literally tell what the other team is running therefore allowing him to control the game .. wish this video explained that for y’all more
That's a lebron narrative. All the greats could do that. I could do that my damn self. You played against the same offenses and players since 14. You should know their tendencies.
@@mostmost1 you do realize over time coaches change, systems change, players change right? .. and maybe you are a genius man I don’t know you so I’m not gonna just be a hater … but if his opponents and his teammates unanimously agree that this skill sets him apart from the rest I’m gonna trust their anecdotal evidence
@@jboogie2212 they speak about him compared to guys they played with. Many more do this was my point. Many are bone heads. I played with guys who didn't know their position let alone everyone's. I agree with that. However CP3, Rondo, Kyrie, Luka, Kawhi have that IQ as well. They had it on both sides of the ball. Bron in no way has a high IQ defensively or the will to make it happen.
Mom gets it more than anyone! Insane athlete
I was in Cleveland when Lebron helped us with the 2016 Championship. First time in over 50 years. That night was insane.

Happy Father's Day! from a fan in the USA.
There's really no way to compare players who didn't play in same era, unless they played directly against each other, and for multiple seasons... Everyone has favorites of course, next check out some old school players who DID play vs MJ and were great too... Bird and Iverson are both remarkable, no matter who they played...
Except Shaq played with all the greats and said himself, MJ was the goat undisputed. (And thats without even looking at how ridiculous Shaq was as a player)
Magic would be a great one too. He's the only 6'9" point guard I've ever seen!
Beeing from Ohio I saw LeBron when he was in high school and saw his team play in the championship game and he was jumping over guys, but he only won 1 championship while in high school, didnt go to college, he went straight into pros, now in all fairness while in high school his team was traveling all over the country playing the best teams in the country, not even Michael did that, but for me the easiest comparison to make beetween the two is this how many championships did they win, Michael 6 LeBron 3 not to mention Michael won 2 back to back to back championships, I watched Mike beat the Celtics in Chicago right after the Celtics won the NBA championship and Mike put up 65 pts that night, how many 65 pt games did LeBron have???
Lebron has 4 championships. Michael Jordan could not have won a championship with the team that the Cavs surrounded LeBron with. In the first Finals with the Warriors, Kyrie was injured much of the time and the Cavs were playing shorthanded. Mathew Dellavedova was the doing the best he could to fill-in, and ended up in the hospital after one of the games to receive fluids. The Cavs won the second series, so the Warriors went out and got Kevin Durant to go with Draymond Green, Steph Curry, and Clay Thompson (plus Iguodala), while Kyrie Irving went into pouting mode, then left. Michael Jordan and company could not have beaten the Warriiors team that the Cavs faced in the 3rd and 4th championship series.
Lebron is the Goat 100%
I'm not sure how close you guys are to Auckland but the New Zealand Breakers play 10 home games at Spark Arena starting up again September 30th. They've had 4 players get drafted into the NBA in recent years and the league they play in (NBL) is one of the top professional leagues in the world. It's become a sort of feeder league into the NBA where top young prospects choose to start their professional careers rather than playing in college in the states. It's VERY GOOD basketball & I think would be worth checking out if you guys have hoops fever!
Man i love how much you like the suns bro. I lived in arizona from 8 - 22 years old. Its a great place.
We need Kobe Bryant next please
MJ never could never win against Larry Birds Celtics.
Lebanon could never stay on 1 team
Jordan and James are 1A and 1B, different players different eras. Also have to remember the career records are different not just because Jordan left to play baseball but he had to play at least 3 seasons of college basketball before turning pro, James got to go straight to the pros from high school.
Jordan was a great college player too, made what's known as "The Shot" during his time at North Carolina.
Exactly, Jordan was mentally more prepared and more experienced than Lebron going to the NBA.
kobe is better
2 legend that can’t be compared honestly 🫡
Nice family Jordan smaller skinnier than James but more skilful and more exciting to watch, played the hardest times vs bigger James no skills can push guys with his size. People who plays basketball can see the difference between them technical side
I'm old enough to have watched the prime of Michael Jordan as well as LeBron's entire career, and to me it's Jordan by a significant margin. Watching LeBron play felt like I was watching someone that was superhuman, but watching Jordan play felt like I was watching someone who was inhuman. Jordan also received a lot of criticism especially in his earlier years due to not being able to get past Larry Bird's Celtics and the Bad Boy Pistons, but LeBron played in an era where debate shows and talking heads on TV took over actual analysis and play-by-play, so LeBron was definitely criticized more, excessively so. HOWEVER, a lot of the criticism LeBron faced and faces, he brought and brings upon himself. From calling HIMSELF "King James" and "The Chosen One", from choosing the number 23 as if saying "I'm the next Jordan" (going so far as doing the remake of "Space Jam"), from using a 1-hour special to announce his decision to play in Miami, from guaranteeing "not 5, not 6, not 7" championships in Miami and underdelivering and losing in the first Finals they play in, LeBron is often a victim of his own excessive self-promotion. Talent-wise, there may have been none better, not even Jordan, but Jordan always came off as the guy who wanted to show you he was great, but LeBron is someone who will tell you that he is great, and that I think is the crux of where the LeBron hate comes from. That being said, LeBron is top-3 all time, without question.
I watched both too and let me tell you, Lebron is just better. The thing that sealed the deal for me is when KD joined the warriors because that’s exactly what the bulls were back in the day, head and shoulders better than everyone. You said it yourself, Jordan was nothing without Scottie, Dennis, and Phil. Not to mention people that didn’t see Mj, saw the same exact player in Kobe. Mj was the first of this modern athlete and ahead of his time.
@@gandalfhodl8723 i respectfully disagree. Also, I didn’t say that lol
Lebrons nicknames were not self-proclaimed. I’ve only ever heard Jordan fans say this. He embraced the names but didn’t give them to himself. He wore number 23 because Jordan was his favorite player growing up, and he has said this. Not because he thinks he’s better. The one hour special to announce the decision was for charity and all of the proceeds went to the Boys & Girls club. Lebron may self promote but no superstar in the history of the NBA has given back as much as he has. Jordan was raised in a two parent household and still turned out to be a gambling addict, trash person who punches his teammates. Lebron was raised broke, without a father and overcame the odds to have no scandals or any blemishes of character. Also, Lebron is top 2 all time, no question. He is the greatest statistical player of all time, averages and totals.
jordan is not better. Lebron is good at everything in basketball. Jordan just a good scorer and a perimetrer defender. also he didnt named himself "the king", media did. He never said "im gonna be the next jordan". Also he didnt have the purpose to make space jam. They called him and offered him a lot of money. Yall jordan stans are stupid 🤡🤡🤡 af
@@shawnmichaelsbellybuttonri9871 “Jordan couldn’t get past Bird or the pistons” lol he didn’t win until the guys who actually did what it took to win came along. Anybody can score 35 a game and lose, ask Kyrie Irving
LeBron has 4 titles and 4 championship MVPs with the most playoff wins and playoff series wins in a tougher era to win than MJs while playing in a league where organizations form teams just to try and beat him...he's so mentally tough and clutch it's insane, while also having all time great stats no one can touch...no one has won more than him ever since he got drafted...his total winning percentage is also insane bc he's played 20 years so far and so many games and minutes
Ok, I love you guys but I need to set you straight on a few things. Jordan has 6 rings, James has 4. Not 5 or 6. Jordan still holds the record for highest average points per game. And Jordan got just as much criticism early in in his career as the successor to Magic Johnson.
highest average per game because he shot the ball more than lebron. Dont get it twisted. GF% wise lebron is a better shooter, not just statistically but he actually is. Jordan did not get nearly as much criticism as lebron youre just delusional at this point. There wasn't even social media when MJ was in the league. Not to mention Lebron signed a 90 million dollar contract with Nike before he even joined the league as an 18 year old being deemed the "chosen one" before ever even playing a single game in the NBA. Dont compare jordan to Magic when they were nowhere near the same player. Magic was a PG who passed, MJ was a shooter, and thats it. Lebron statically averaged more blocks, rebounds, and assists than Jordan. Charles Barkley just said there has been no other athlete in history who had the expectations that lebron did, and lebron is the only player in the history of the game as an 18 year old highschooler who went into the NBA and was already great. Jordan had 4 years of college and was cut from his highschool basketball team, barkley also touched on that as well. It took years before Jordan was great, Lebron came in younger and was already better.
@coreyrohrbaugh4673 LeBron has been good for his whole career and still couldn't accumulate the success jordan did. I will put it simply. Jordan, dwade, and bosh would've never lost to the mavericks. Jordan, kyrie, and love would've never made the 3-1 comeback because they wouldn't have went down that badly in the first place. Depsite the amount of talent bron handpicked to play with him he still was less successful. Lebrons also lead in turnovers all time. Jordan is far superior on the defensive end. Lebron only plays off ball defense. On ball he is mediocre. He's an awful leader and will place the blame on anybody else and treats his teamates like chess pieces. But even with him playing gm he still couldn't eclipse Jordan. Instead he's tied with steph who played in the same Era as him and has had just as much success as lebron.
@tyusbrooks9997 steph you mean the dude who has 4 titles and only 1mvp? Don't disrespect lebron by even putting him in the same sentence. Dude literally went and recruited him after he got beat by the cavs. And Durant went to the team that beat him. I don't ever remember lebron going to a team that beat him. A 72-9 team at that. A better team than jordans. Jordan played in a more physical era with less talented players don't get it twisted. Jordans era wasn't shooting the ball like today's era. And Jordan. Tell me what did Jordan do in those 9 years he didn't make the finals? 6 of those 9 came by losses to bird and IT😂😂😂
@coreyrohrbaugh4673 Steph is a 2 time mvp and the only unanimous mvp in nba history. If you're referring to finals mvp even iggy said steph should've won over him. Yes kd won both while he was there but the cabs coach at the time said their goal was to stop steph first so their entire game plan was stopping steph not Durant. Steph is a selfless player so he had no problem letting kd put up better numbers. And lebron invented the recruiting game. And who cares about how many times lebron went to the finals. He has a losing record in the finals. You went to the finals more times then jordan and has less championships. How does that even work? He made all those appearances because the east sucked. When he had to play western conference teams he got beat majority of the time. Including being swept twice. And before you say anything about the warriors being unbeatable james harden almost took them out. Yet lebron couldn't win a single game.
@@tyusbrooks9997 😂😂😂😂 and lebron himself almost beat the warriors in 2015. Don't compare apples to oranges.
The daughter knows . Lebron and mj are different eras. Loved how she put that out. Smart young woman. Proud
Y’all need to watch the slam dunk contests! The most amazing thing ever! What these athletes can do is unreal!
Larry Bird
One thing I take into consideration is that LeBron had to find a superteam to win a title but Michael won all his titles with the team he had, he didn't hunt for teammates to win
The Bulls gave MJ help. The Cavs gave Lebron Boobie Gibson.
Yeah but he also had Pippen. Bron had a bunch of bums
MJ made Pippen great. He gave him no choice, be great or leave the team. Think that's why a lot of people hate on LBJ. He was always chasing the stacked team so he could easy mode to the finals. Even with help, he couldn't get it done several times. On top of that, his arrogance was out of control. Not surprising though when you're hyped up like that from freshman year of high school.
@@Out-Of-Serviceno he didn’t. Pippen made MJ better
@@dakprescottsattorney7906Jordan was the best player in the league before Pippen was drafted. Pippen was riding the bench as a rookie
I've noticed that the people who pick LBJ over Jordan, are younger people that never watched Jordan play.
Or they know ball🤷🏻♂️
Actually LeBron is from Akron, Ohio which is mid-sized town about 30 miles South of Cleveland. I am an Akronite and have seen LeBron play in high school years.
Kobe is also a must see he inspired me in many ways by his mentality that he had and I hope he will inspire y’all if they decide to watch him in action
As a man that grew up as a Magic/Lakers fan, MJ is the Goat! Hands down!
Lebron is probably the most criticized athlete of all time in any sport in America, Since he was in high school he's had the biggest spotlight on him. His stats are GOAT level easily. IMO Lebron is the all around goat. Assists, points, rebounds, defense, great TEAM player as well. Also the fact that this is a debate and He's not even retired yet is wild. I feel after his retirement he will be seen as the greatest of all time. GOOD video
Now do Larry Bird.
Nobody outdoes Michael Jordan. Kareem Abdul-jabbar is still an awesome guy. I’m a hockey girl myself. The Detroit Red Wings are my team and I live in Colorado.
LeBron outdid Jordan.
21:19 He was, but he was very good at protecting his brand. Because David Stern started his stint as Commissioner just before Jordan, he also helped to protect Jordan's criticisms somewhat, especially when nobody really said much just after Jordan returned from foot injuries in his second season.
4:40 That was Chauncy Billups, who is the current Portland Trailblazers head coach.
