So should we say LeBron's a better defender than Giannis because he's older? What does age have to do with anything they're comparing who's better not who's the best 35 year old in the league

He’s not the MVP. Here’s why. Giannis doesn’t play with another MVP caliber player. LeBron does, and LeBron is still averaging what? 25 8 and 10.7? He leads the league in assists at 35 years old.. y’all need to give the man credit where credit is due. LeBron is the MVP hands down and he should be every single season but they can’t give that to him every year.
Paul Cangemi oh i’ll give the man credit. it’s unbelievable what he’s doing. he’s absolutely incredible and it’s hard to believe he’s doing it at that age. credit where it’s due. but at the same time, Giannis is averaging 30-14-6... and the man is only playing 30 minutes a night... on a team that has been the “best team” all year... in terms of their record. now obviously it may seem dumb to say that because they lost to the Lakers just last night. but don’t let recency bias win in your argument. Giannis and the Bucks beat the Lakers back in December and don’t forget how Giannis completely dominated that game on both ends of the floor when LeBron didn’t have a great all around game. AD was the guy for the Lakers in that game. and Giannis dominated both of them. last night... Giannis has absolutely no help from his teammates. they didn’t show up. over the course of the entire season, Giannis has been more dominant than LeBron. Giannis is the MVP.
That's fair to say. I think LeBron is better because most of the game he's deferring to AD. We all know that if Bron wanted to average 30 and 10 he probably could
It’s been LeBum‘s league since 2005 but Duncan, Kobe, KG, Dirk, Steph, KD, and Kawhi all won in that time frame. Some even won more than once, and some beat him convincingly.
lmao because when lebron leaves his team they’re in the lottery. Raptors this year don’t need kawhi, and GS will dominate when healthy again. Dirk won one time. Stop hating and appreciate greatness
Max honestly destroys these fools 90% of the times his points are almost never based on emotion but just facts. What he said is true af if it weren't for Kawhi and Gasol last season Giannis would be universally recognized as the best player in the world. Meanwhile Stephen A and the rest of Espn ready to give Lebron Mvp for being the second best player on his team.
Its all about the playoffs...I would choose Lebron until Giannis proves otherwise...the season and playoffs are not the same, completely different animals...
Giannis doesn’t have top 5 player in The world that is superstar on his team every year but Lebron James always need best top 10 or 5 player in the world in his team order to win championship but in the playoff wise Lakers 2nd unit can’t hold the lead till Lebron and AD gets back on the court that gonna be problem. Bucks 2nd unit can hold the lead till giannis gets back on the court
Kancha beni And had Gasol, Ibaka and Siakim had not guarded the paint, Giannis would’ve hade way more success. It works both ways, that’s such a bad way to look at it
If you actually watched the series you would know it was primarily Gasol, Siakam, Kawhi and Ibaka that build a wall at the rim. When Kawhi guarded Giannis one on one, Giannis would regularly win.
I already know If Giannis make's it through the Final's, go againt's the Lakers and lose's the excuses will be he didn't have a MVP candidate with him they always excuses
@@tamarccloughin4916 so we're going to turn AD to a perimeter player? Because that's where he makes his money at right? It's literally going to be a Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons fit.
Lakers with LeBron missing the play-offs. Lakers with AD first in the west. So how can LeBron be MVP and not Davis? Would they made play-offs without AD? Who is the more valuable player now?
Harden has 35 pts vs Warriors and loses: LOOK AT THIS CHOKER! Giannis has 12 pts and locked up by Kawhi: Is Giannis the best player in the league? Make it make sense. Is it oochie wally wally or is it One Mic?
Giannis was tripled and his team couldn’t buy a basket even when wide open. That was also his first time in the ECF he’s only 25 and most all time greats don’t win till about 27-28. Hardens issue is a little biased I think he’s gets discredited a lot for no reason but he shot poor % in some of those crucial games against the warriors on tons of attempts. I think since Harden has come up short for a few years and his style of play kinda made the media turn on him.
LOL Stephen A just likes to hear himself say “you’re wrong” to max , max fully said lebrons better in the playoffs because Giannis lost in the playoffs
@@boochtron If you say that Kobe wasn't the best player for many years you're not being honest. I've always been a Lebron fan but I'm not a blind hater.
Just because you have high assist doesn't mean that you make everyone around you better. Giannis is already doing it when he steps on the court cause you can feel his intensity that makes everyone around him better.
No u cant blame Giannis for not playing well in the ECF. The best defender in the league named Kawhi Leonard was defending him. Lebron 2014 game 3 finals only scored 22 points against Kawhi. Mind u Kawhi was only 22 (going on 23) not even his prime against a prime lebron. Last year, Kawhi had hit his prime so he played even better then in the 2014 finals. If Lebron was up against the same prime Kawhi, he would've struggled too.
Who's team is more successful? Which team will win more games with AD? Who influences their team more in a situation where the team performs better and had more success when their MVP candidates on the bench? Giannis has proven he has more patience than Lebron and waited until all the pieces are put together like Steph Curry and the GSW, MJ and the Bulls and now Giannis and the Bucks. Lebron just keeps jumping from a superteam to a superteam or trade everyone to create a superteam. Is that really the definition of an MVP? Lebron is not living in "Dog" years so stop mentioning his age each time his name is mentioned.
I like how no one in the comment section cares about the subject because it doesn’t even matter. It’s all just making fun of the idiots up on your screen. Best comment section ever!
Max needs to not talk about the nba. Dude literally has been wrong so many times it’s ridiculous. He literally just follows popular opinion/perspective like saying kawhi and giannis are better then lebron. Closest person to being better than lebron is KD. And there’s a small gap now between him and KD and an even larger one between KD and the next guy.
Stephen a is the type of teacher to ask u to write a 10 page research paper then say “you’re wrong” after reading the first 2 lines and asks u to make another paper
It’s hard to compare Giannis and Lebron they talk about how James has More experience and is clutch but Giannis hasn’t been here as long so everything Lebron has Antetokounmpo will get they are saying and talking about Lebron prime not him now and that ain’t fair
Barry Boy Giannis is 25 and better than everyone in the league. If he had just one more all star on the bucks last year; the bucks win the chip. Giannis is the best in the world and will be until the end of his prime unless he is injured.

For the 1 million time stop talking bout this omg I’ve had enough
You've "had enough" yet ur still watching smfh
Who asked u to watch?
Hes not the mvp lebron just dogged him beat his team and defended hin the whole game more or less
Cracc 216 hes still the MVP
@@kalumhawkins no he's not
Dr. Doofenshmirtz yes he is. one game doesn’t change an award meant for a whole season. giannis is still head and shoulders above everyone else
He’s not the MVP. Here’s why. Giannis doesn’t play with another MVP caliber player. LeBron does, and LeBron is still averaging what? 25 8 and 10.7? He leads the league in assists at 35 years old.. y’all need to give the man credit where credit is due. LeBron is the MVP hands down and he should be every single season but they can’t give that to him every year.
Paul Cangemi oh i’ll give the man credit. it’s unbelievable what he’s doing. he’s absolutely incredible and it’s hard to believe he’s doing it at that age. credit where it’s due. but at the same time, Giannis is averaging 30-14-6... and the man is only playing 30 minutes a night... on a team that has been the “best team” all year... in terms of their record. now obviously it may seem dumb to say that because they lost to the Lakers just last night. but don’t let recency bias win in your argument. Giannis and the Bucks beat the Lakers back in December and don’t forget how Giannis completely dominated that game on both ends of the floor when LeBron didn’t have a great all around game. AD was the guy for the Lakers in that game. and Giannis dominated both of them. last night... Giannis has absolutely no help from his teammates. they didn’t show up. over the course of the entire season, Giannis has been more dominant than LeBron. Giannis is the MVP.
Been bucks fan since the 80s my young teen years, I’m glad Giannis is in my team who cares about the other nba players
How about the rest of the country who does not live in Milwaukee?
If Giannis “ain’t close” on offense. Then Lebron “ain’t close” on defense , at all.
That's fair to say. I think LeBron is better because most of the game he's deferring to AD. We all know that if Bron wanted to average 30 and 10 he probably could
Literally everybody who plays with Giannis get better...everybody
Not eric bledsoe and malcolm brogdon
Same with Lebron though🤣
Shut up😭😂😂😂Eric Bledsoe is doin what exactly?
40 Savv who? Giannis is obviously great but he’s not a playmaker.
soulja T.g choking..he still more efficient than he ever been playing with Giannis
Steven " I disagree and heres why" Smith
It's "I agree with you but you are wrong and here's why"
Stephen*
It’s been LeBum‘s league since 2005 but Duncan, Kobe, KG, Dirk, Steph, KD, and Kawhi all won in that time frame. Some even won more than once, and some beat him convincingly.
Spurs Warriors Boston had a better overall team with better coaches
Dallas team was better overall then the heat team Dirk team swept the 2x lakers that year
Takes a team to win. Just because you’re the best individual in the game doesn’t mean your team is. Man you’re stupid.
lmao because when lebron leaves his team they’re in the lottery. Raptors this year don’t need kawhi, and GS will dominate when healthy again. Dirk won one time. Stop hating and appreciate greatness
@@TakablePond that 2011 heat team had more hall of famers than either of kobe lakers teams
Who’s here after the Lakers demolished the bucks? ✌🏻❤️
Demolished? That's the wrong word to use.
It’s kinda crazy how in the past 12-13 years Lebron has been in the conversation as the best or one of the best in the league
4:42 Max is like someone's agreeing with me for once?
Bobby Joe Jr. His face he looks like he saw a ghost😂😂😂😂
Max honestly destroys these fools 90% of the times his points are almost never based on emotion but just facts. What he said is true af if it weren't for Kawhi and Gasol last season Giannis would be universally recognized as the best player in the world. Meanwhile Stephen A and the rest of Espn ready to give Lebron Mvp for being the second best player on his team.
And last time you saw LeBron in post season was being swept
bobtista88 against a loaded warriors team when his second best player was a rusty K love not to mention he actually made it to the finals
@@4ransom437 still lost 4 straight
Its all about the playoffs...I would choose Lebron until Giannis proves otherwise...the season and playoffs are not the same, completely different animals...
Basketball Bios max kellerman is that u?
Too bad Kawhi is better than both.
I agree. LeBron had the same standard as a young lion when he was being compared to Kobe.
@@magodtrick3166 I would take Kawhi
Giannis doesn’t have top 5 player in The world that is superstar on his team every year but Lebron James always need best top 10 or 5 player in the world in his team order to win championship but in the playoff wise Lakers 2nd unit can’t hold the lead till Lebron and AD gets back on the court that gonna be problem. Bucks 2nd unit can hold the lead till giannis gets back on the court
"it wasnt kawhi it was also toronto raptors" = richard jefferson, had kawhi not guard giannis raptors woulda got swept. like firrst 2 games
Kancha beni And had Gasol, Ibaka and Siakim had not guarded the paint, Giannis would’ve hade way more success. It works both ways, that’s such a bad way to look at it
Kancha beni it was the raptors as a whole. They built a wall. One person can’t build a wall.
@@Jay-dn2pg they had them the first 2 games guarding the paint.
Dudes act like it was all kawhi
If you actually watched the series you would know it was primarily Gasol, Siakam, Kawhi and Ibaka that build a wall at the rim. When Kawhi guarded Giannis one on one, Giannis would regularly win.
Max looks more and more done with Molly with every show
Big Marf Facts! 😂
Giannis is like James Harden lol they both great in regular season and bad in playoffs lol 😂
Stephen A is so delusional about lebron I’m scared he’s lost his mind
Nathan Pitek what about when he brings lakers a championship and finals MVP lebron is still the best player in the world
SAS , The last time we also saw lebron he was missing the playoffs, if you gonna use Giannis losing in the playoffs against him.
I’m watching this after LeBron destroyed the bucks
Last time lebron was the mvp he won the finals in Miami
Chad Lewis last time there was an unanimous mvp bron won the finals too 🤷🏾♂️
@@blackcasperF4E4L 💯💯
@@blackcasperF4E4L Nah, Adam silver the real MVP of that finals.
Stephen A “ your wrong” smith
I already know If Giannis make's it through the Final's, go againt's the Lakers and lose's the excuses will be he didn't have a MVP candidate with him they always excuses
LeBron is still better...thanks for listening
If giannis had AD over middleton .. they would have at least 3/4 loses to this point.
They wouldn't fit.
Giannis is good with Brook Lopez. AD would clog the lanes up
Michael Zaine no he wouldn’t,
Hugh Hefner clown they would fit
@@tamarccloughin4916 so we're going to turn AD to a perimeter player? Because that's where he makes his money at right? It's literally going to be a Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons fit.
I don´t need to watch the video in order to know that they LOVE Lebron and hate Giannis. Let's play it and confirm my theory...
Max: *breathes*
Stephen A Smith: You’re wrong and here’s why
Stephen A is biased with Giannis. Come on man, he has historically the highest PER.
Lakers with LeBron missing the play-offs. Lakers with AD first in the west. So how can LeBron be MVP and not Davis? Would they made play-offs without AD? Who is the more valuable player now?
Injuries
Stephen A said Giannis was the best in the wolrd in the All star weekend lmaoooo
Harden has 35 pts vs Warriors and loses: LOOK AT THIS CHOKER!
Giannis has 12 pts and locked up by Kawhi: Is Giannis the best player in the league?
Make it make sense. Is it oochie wally wally or is it One Mic?
Giannis was tripled and his team couldn’t buy a basket even when wide open. That was also his first time in the ECF he’s only 25 and most all time greats don’t win till about 27-28. Hardens issue is a little biased I think he’s gets discredited a lot for no reason but he shot poor % in some of those crucial games against the warriors on tons of attempts. I think since Harden has come up short for a few years and his style of play kinda made the media turn on him.
What’s there to debate... no one’s talking about “dethroning” Giannis... it’s all about Bron. 🤷🏾♂️
LOL Stephen A just likes to hear himself say “you’re wrong” to max , max fully said lebrons better in the playoffs because Giannis lost in the playoffs
I can’t wait til KD comes back so I can stop hearing these conversations
I'm a Lebron fan but I agree with you, once Durant is back these conversations will stop.
because? he has one mvp. i loved KD, but no idea if he will be the same player
@@boochtron Kobe had one MVP and was the best player for a long time.
@@marcoenrique8309 bad example, not for me.
@@boochtron If you say that Kobe wasn't the best player for many years you're not being honest. I've always been a Lebron fan but I'm not a blind hater.
Did SAS say la lakers had the best team before the season n now he’s saying Giannis has better pieces around him than lebron 🤦🏿♂️
I can’t stand Stephen A talking about these European players. He’s a straight hater smh Giannis is the better player as of right now!
The fact they're comparing a 35 y/o 17 year vet to someone 10 years younger than him is pretty astounding.
They're comparing someone who's past their prime to someone who hasn't hit their prime yet. I don't see a problem.
@@RL-es6gg Who said it was a problem?
Ivan Morales. They’re comparing two of the biggest players in basketball rn.... lol
@@jayloncollins9681 Kawhi's one of the league's biggest stars and they dont compare him to Giannis... so nah it's more than that
Ivan Morales. Because they’re not similar at all
Age shouldn’t matter in MVP it should really be who had the best season everything counts
Yesss exactly bro preach there should he no excuses
Giannis is better 🤷🏾♂️
LMAO
Paidway Jay yeah he’s way better offensively and defensively
6:14 I don't believe it Stephen A.
DELETE THIS AFTER TODAYS GAME HAHAHAH LEBRON OWNED GIANNIS AND LOCKED HIM UP ON DEFENSE LOL
Man scored 32 n ppl say he was locked down
@@chatasyuhlike3116 lebron defended giannis and he was 2/7 my man he didnt guard him the whole game only when ad was out so get your facts straight
Somewhere in another universe Stephen a smith says “You’re right and here’s why”
Just because you have high assist doesn't mean that you make everyone around you better. Giannis is already doing it when he steps on the court cause you can feel his intensity that makes everyone around him better.
Jefferson: I agree with you
Stephen A. Smith: Hold my beer
No u cant blame Giannis for not playing well in the ECF. The best defender in the league named Kawhi Leonard was defending him. Lebron 2014 game 3 finals only scored 22 points against Kawhi. Mind u Kawhi was only 22 (going on 23) not even his prime against a prime lebron. Last year, Kawhi had hit his prime so he played even better then in the 2014 finals. If Lebron was up against the same prime Kawhi, he would've struggled too.
Stephen A love reminding ppl he covered AI😂
This is now a weekly debate focus on other issues man, how about comparing Middleton and Siakam's importance to their teams?
I'm not watching anything about Middelton just being honest.
Well that escalated quick after today’s game lol
Who's team is more successful? Which team will win more games with AD? Who influences their team more in a situation where the team performs better and had more success when their MVP candidates on the bench? Giannis has proven he has more patience than Lebron and waited until all the pieces are put together like Steph Curry and the GSW, MJ and the Bulls and now Giannis and the Bucks. Lebron just keeps jumping from a superteam to a superteam or trade everyone to create a superteam. Is that really the definition of an MVP? Lebron is not living in "Dog" years so stop mentioning his age each time his name is mentioned.
Stephen "your wrong" A Smith
I like how no one in the comment section cares about the subject because it doesn’t even matter. It’s all just making fun of the idiots up on your screen. Best comment section ever!
Same debates everyday
Stephen A Smith be like
YANIS ATETOKOMPO
DENNIS SHRAYDER
LUKA DONCHICK
KAWHI LENNID
Hayley Williams jack nicholas
Giannis I rest my case and I'm closing this vid
Chief 34 bye 👋
Giannis can't lead a team in the playoffs
Why is this even a conversation??
Max: Regular Stats matter
Stephen A: Post season stats matter
Max needs to not talk about the nba. Dude literally has been wrong so many times it’s ridiculous. He literally just follows popular opinion/perspective like saying kawhi and giannis are better then lebron. Closest person to being better than lebron is KD. And there’s a small gap now between him and KD and an even larger one between KD and the next guy.
Max “cold take” Kellerman
Stephen a is the type of teacher to ask u to write a 10 page research paper then say “you’re wrong” after reading the first 2 lines and asks u to make another paper
It’s hard to compare Giannis and Lebron they talk about how James has More experience and is clutch but Giannis hasn’t been here as long so everything Lebron has Antetokounmpo will get they are saying and talking about Lebron prime not him now and that ain’t fair
Barry Boy Giannis is 25 and better than everyone in the league. If he had just one more all star on the bucks last year; the bucks win the chip. Giannis is the best in the world and will be until the end of his prime unless he is injured.
Barry Boy that’s right. Don’t compare giannis to lebron because giannis ain’t there with lebron.
Stephen A is going to pick LeBron and Max is going to pick Giannis
Edit: 4 minutes later I was right 😂🤷🏿♂️💯
