Lebron hasn't caught Kobe. Look, this Lebron caught MJ debate is the stupidest argument ever. Lebron doesn't even compare to 88 MJ so HOW, literally HOOOOOOW, is this a discussion?
People forget that without Kyrie Irving doing that MJ and Allen Iverson had a baby impression for the Cavs during the 2016 finals, LeBra would have at least one less ring. Just look at all the playoff games where James was basically a no-show, in his prime even. Look back at those Bulls championship runs and most if not all the games that the Bulls lost, MJ was still the fiercest competitor on the court. He simply never mastered the art of being mediocre the way James did.
exactly. Lakers (with Kobe & Fisher) could’ve duplicated that in 2011 if they haven’t lost to Mavs, which was the eventual champs by beating the Heat. but we all know if Lakers and Heat met that year, KB & Fish could’ve won their 6th
I've never understood the "more athletic" argument. How exactly is lebron more athletic than Jordan? He certainly doesn't look like it when we're watching him
Truth! Jordan had a much quicker first step, jumped higher, and had way better hands than LeBron. Nobody ever said "LeBron seems to "hang in the air". LeBron probably bench presses more the MJ, but that's about it.
@@labynoe Exactly He Prob does But What's it Worth when All Lebron does is Cry and Flop A Grown As..s Man Crying "ah Ref" Each time he is even slightly touched is Embarrassing
@@housesavagemafia7504 "Ref the guy clearly fouled me!" As the other team is playing 4v5 because LeBron is crying like a bitch again and not getting back on defense
Every great has done that even mj if someone plays great on both sides of the ball they are not going to play 100% on defense and offense Kobe is by far my favorite player ever but it is times when you didn’t always play defense and offense everyone takes breaks on the court and plus lbj is 39 years old
@@ryanr20091Lol debate is only over to simpletons. This has been explained over and over but the slow can’t understand. Jordan has the best COMBINATION of winning, accolades stats and offensive/defensive dominance. Bill has the winning and defense but not the offensive dominance. He also had a ton of hall of famers on his team. I know even you get this but you’ll pretend you don’t as all people who argue in bad faith do.
Mahomes plays in the AFC who has the best QBs in the NFL right now. This season, he beat statically the best QBs in the NFL. Tua in the Wild card Josh Allen in the Divisional round 2-time MVP Lamar Jackson in the AFC championship game Brock Purdy in the Super bowl Those are all Pro bowl QBs
Be careful- part of the reason the league go softer is because of the "Tom Brady rule" that prevented pocket QB's from being hit anywhere. Tom Brady would've have lasted to 45 if the league didn't protect him after the ACL tear.
@@Arctanis-vt3hl And the colts, manning rule that prompted less aggressive play from defensive backs on receivers. Nevertheless, all qbs have benefited from the Brady rule including mahomes.
Mahomes at least passes the eye test and is insanely CLUTCH, dude LIVES for the clutch moments. you'd never see Mahomes handing the ball off scared to throw the rock in crunch time
Just for the fact that Jordan never requested for any particular help gives him advantage on the GOAT debate. Among all the acomplishments. All other guys in the Goat debates had more help
Yes, but its very simple... if you analyze the eras and just the player Jordan is better at everything except 3 point shooting and that's debatable. And yes Michael Jordan is a better playmaker. You add the accolades and it's not even close
Thats why I always say that its not just about what you accomplished, but HOW you accomplished it, and nobody has ever done it in better than Jordan. Id put Kobe and Curry right behind him. They stayed with their team and built that team into dynasties. They did it the man’s way, unlike lebitch.
Montana in this era would've won more because of the rules to protect the QB. That doesn't take anything away from Brady but Montana took a beating getting hit late in the knees against teams like the Bears and Giants of the 80s. Give him the personal fouls for late hits because he was that dude.
@@TheRealMichaelP Mj fans favorite words are "ifs" and "wouldves" those are hypothetical. Relaity is bad teams made the playoffs by default so it's not wise to make their argument like you did. Lebron lowest win total making playoffs is like 45-46 wins. That's a fact not an if or wouldve
What's Shannon on about this longevity stuff? Nobody is calling Vince Carter the GOAT 🐐 premised on his 22 years in the League. Definitely neither so for Robert Parish nor Kevin Willis. Longevity in the era of LOAD MANAGEMENT? Give me a break!
Media and refs built them those empires, both players were the face of their respective leagues for a global marketing campaign to make the sports international, of course they are great but they were pushed to win more ships because that was good business for everyone.
LeBron had 4 Rings yall need to stop with that bubble nonsense 😂.. Even though he should only have 2 but Ray Allen & Kyrie saved his legacy He has 4 and that’s incredibly great but NOT enough to pass MJ, Kareem, Wilt, Not enough to pass Kobe, Magic , Bird , Russell on the List. Shaq, Hakeem, Duncan, LeBron are all around the same rankings tier Curry & KD follow that tier
Michael Jordan played five seasons without Scottie Pippen 84-85 38-44..First round exit 85-86. 30-52..First round exit 86-87. 40-42...First round exit 01-02. 37-45..out of playoffs 02-03. 37-45..out of playoffs LeBron james carried an absolutely horrific 2007 Cleveland Cavaliers team to the nba finals In the modern NBA era (post 1960) only nine NBA top 75 players have won a championship without another top 75 player as a teammate Rick Barry (1975) Bill Walton (1977) Hakeem Olajuwon (1994) Tim Duncan (2005) (2007) Kobe Bryant (2009) (2010) Steph Curry (2015) (2022) LeBron james (2016) Kawhi Leonard (2019) Giannis Antetokounmpo (2021) As you can see, LeBron James is on the list and Michael Jordan isnt Lebron james has won 17 playoff series, without an nba top 75 teammate. Michael Jordan won ZERO In the year before Michael Jordan and LeBron James joined their team and the year after they left their team, their records were 83-84 bulls 27-55 84-85 bulls. 38-44 92-93 bulls 57-25 93-94 bulls 55-27 98-99 bulls 13-37 without Scottie Pippen 00-01 wizards 19-63 01-02 wizards. 37-45 02-03 wizards 37-45 03-04 wizards 25-57 02-03 cavaliers 17-65 03-04 cavaliers 35-47 09-10 cavaliers 61-21 10-11 cavaliers 19-63 09-10 heat. 47-35 10-11 heat 58-24 14-15 heat 37-45 2013-14 cavaliers 33-49 2014-15 cavaliers 53-29 2017- 18 cavaliers 50-32 2018-19 cavaliers 19-63 2017-18 lakers. 35-47 2018-19 lakers were 20-14 when LeBron James got injured on Christmas day. As you can see When LeBron James joins a team, the team improves more than Michael Jordan and when LeBron James leaves a team, the team always goes into the tank. Michael Jordan, excluding the 94-97 seasons, when the NBA moved the three point line to 22 feet, was a career 28% three point shooter. LeBron James is a career 34% three point shooter Michael Jordan was a great defensive player, in an Era where you could handcheck. Playing defense is much easier when you can handcheck. For nearly 6'9 250 LeBron James' entire career he wasn't afforded the opportunity to handcheck. THE EVIDENCE IS CLEAR..LEBRON JAMES IS THE GOAT!!!!! I have added a Postscript So many have replied, that LeBron james didn't make the playoffs his first two years and Jordan did. What they fail to say is, in 1985, 16 of 23 teams made the playoffs. In 2004, 16 of 29 teams made the playoffs. It was MUCH EASIER. Perfect example is the 1985 86 bulls went 30-52 and made the playoffs and the 2004 05 cavaliers went 42-40 and did not make the playoffs. Also, I don't know, possibly, maybe, Jordan had a HUGE ADVANTAGE considering he played three years of college basketball and LeBron James was 19 years old, and straight out of high school
@@vicepresidentmikepence889also you say Lebron improved? In 2007 wrong or right Lebron had antwun jamison ,big z,Larry Hughes and had a top 5 defense lol stop saying nonsense buddy as long with the 2009,2008,2010 Lebron had Shaq,big z,Larry Hughes,Jamison mind you lol all those players we’re in fact all stars in fact the year prior to stein Jamison joining the Cavs he was a all star lol

Shannon Sharpe's logic basically is that he took a break from basketball because his father was murdered. So that's going to be used against what a damn scummy thing to do. That one statement about him taking a break after his father was murdered is enough to disqualify LeBron from the go conversation forever. This conversation is done I've had my fill of it screw LeBron James and screw Shannon Sharpe

@@ryanr20091 , what did MJ do when he was retired? He played professional baseball. You act like he was just sitting on his couch. And true athlete's know that the longer you're not playing the more rusty you become. The game is always evolving and if you're not playing it's harder to keep up. It's easier to stay on top of your game when you're always playing.
@@ryanr20091 and he accomplished more and more dominantly, nobody's forcing lebron to keep playing but himself. he should honestly quit considering he always "needs help" barely plays any defence and any time he fucks up or performs poorly people cite his age, but then a minute later they'll use that same reason to prop him up double standard dipshits
the only reason LeMickey is still in the league is so he has that "longevity" to throw around as an "argument" in the GOAT debate... but real ones know MJ is still the one and only at the top
Exactly. I watched both players from rookie year and on and there is no way anyone can make a valid case of Lebron being better than Jordan. If they both played during the same years then people would be able to see just how dominating Jordan was compared to Lebron. Today's kids and those who never witnessed Jordan argue that Lebron is better because he is all they got to see. If you didn't witness both then stfu and stay quiet.
How can shannon spout off longevity, when lebron has only played all 82 games once in his career and load manages? Of course when you don't play as many full seasons and you load manage, you're likely to play longer. He's also not playing any defense.
Bingo!!! And it's costing his teammates and the league big time.... the new culture he started.... no heart, no loyalty, no grit, no fearlessness, just focus on yourself and your stats and make winning second
Why do people pretend that the Mj era competition was as good as Lebrons competition? Mj era was full of junkies, and alcoholics to keep it honest. Mj took advantage of addicts and he knew it. Why you think he was able to play golf and smoke cigars after games? The league was horrible
100%, it's why tell the Bron fans Lebron can get 50K points and still no CHIP. It doesn't mean much unless your team is winning. Jordan didn't get the all time scoring title, but won and he was the reason the Bulls won. Jordan was the reason players like Bird, Miller, Magic, Isiah, Barkley or Ewing did not win CHIPS.
Here is a fun fact, in MJ's 6 championship seasons, he is undefeated in game 7s as you said. He went 2-0. In 6 championship runs Jordan's Bulls only got pushed to a game 7 twice. I think that itself is incredible.
Jus for the record when MJ retired in 93 he wasn't "taking a break"... he busted his ass tryin to get good at baseball, lifting weights and practicing... yall try to make it seem like he retired and was sitting around doin nothin for 18 months... jus resting... he was probably working harder during that 18 months than he would've if he never did retire... so I don't wanna hear this "he took a break" bullshit...
Exactly and LeBron stans always trying to make it seem like Mike was “weak” for retiring. They gloss over the fact that he retired because of his father’s death and it wasn’t that his father just died, he was murdered and left in a ditch. The baseball thing was partially a coping mechanism and the rest a tribute to his father who wanted him to play baseball when he was young. Anybody who can do research knows this.
Let’s assume that LeBum is on steroids and constantly stacking his team, why isn’t he dominating his era? Even at cheating he sucks at it 😂😂😂 Didn’t Lance Armstrong win a bunch of Tour De France races? Nikola Djokovic right now is utterly dominating Tennis. Michael Phelps was beating swimming records, Usain Bolt was breaking track records and Man City keeps annoyingly winning Premier League titles.
@@housesavagemafia7504 That’s what makes it even funnier. He so bad at cheating with having everything in his favor, imagine how bad his natural skillset is. If you’re gonna cheat, at least try to dominate.
@@gambitacioSo not only are you literally blatantly lying about him being on steroids (there’s no evidence), you’re also blatantly lying about him not dominating. 4 mvps in 5 seasons, top 5 peak of all time, 8 straight finals, is not domination?
question: did Jordan deny Shannon an autograph or tickets to a bulls game? (it just makes no sense that Shannon was WINNING SUPER BOWLS AT THE SAME TIME THAT THE BULLS WERE WINNING TITLES for Shannon to ALWAYS be DISRESPECTING M.J. the way he does)
He works for Klutch Sports, a media company that represents multiple NBA players that's owned by James's best friend. Even though it makes sense, Shay is still ridiculous.
@@ryanr20091NBA fans logic on Bron: you forfeited your opportunity to be considered the best ever when you quit Cleveland, decided to jump ship to Miami because it was an easier route to win a chip and effectively turned your settings down from all Madden to pro, but yet want everybody to ignore that and compare your accomplishments to individuals who played on All Madden their entire career… yea FOH
@@ryanr20091No one has ever said rings don’t matter. With Jordan fans it’s rings plus everything else, not just rings by itself. LeBron fans on the other hand downplay rings and at the same time overrate Finals appearances
The Lepropaganda is crazy. An entire generation being brainshwashed into thinking this dude is somehow the goat. Oh well. I have a feeling the next next generations won’t look fondly on lebrons goat case as they’ll have no recency bias or emotional attachment to cloud their judgment. and when they compare, they’ll see one guy that dogs him in the accolades category and was much more successful with the championships.
I disagree - part of the reason he lasted so long is because of the "Tom Brady rule" which extended his career since he wasn't very mobile. I don't think he lasts that long if the rules weren't changed for him.
@@Arctanis-vt3hl TB12 still won with chips stacked against him or for him (which I don’t think happened much if at all). Lebby can’t even win with the chips stacked for him. Gazillion foul calls a game, still loses.
The facts people use Jordan never going to game seven as to say they he was never challenged and that’s a bad thing. Apparently dominating in a bad thing
Dominating against Craig Ehlo and Hersey Hawkins, Jeff Hornacecks of the world, wow, if only those Bulls played the Durant/Curry Warriors, or the Duncan Spurs, not even the Rockets with Drexler and Olajowan, other story would have been written.

@@Paulafan5 Simple he is above Jordon and that's what you Jordan fans hate is the mailman ended up becoming a better scorer along with kobe karrem and bron
@@ryanr20091 Points per game? You know Jordan averaged 30.7 points per game and that is the best of all time. Being a scorer isn't just the amount of points you score. Average points per game is how you determine a scorer not the amount of points you have in your career. Points don't make you great, winning is even more important and I give props to Kareem because he actually won shit while getting all time career stats. Also, remind me who dogged Malone's ass in the Finals? Surely it wasn't Michael Jordan.. How could an MJ fans hate Malone when that dude couldn't beat the Bulls? Career with only great stats and absolutely nothing to show for it.

Malone happens to be above him because he lasted longer. I cant make this up
@@ryanr20091 Scoring many points is nothing if it doesn't win you the scoring title. I don't know how many scoring titles Malone won but I am adamant that they are less than the 10 that MJ collected. If scoring more points made one a better player, even Carmelo Anthony would be regarded as a greater player than Tim Duncan.
ya cuz MJ was just sitting around lounging when he retired the first time... he wasnt completely changing his body, riding buses across the country, for a grueling schedule on a non-pro baseball team to get a shot at the majors..... shannon dumb and for the life of me i cant figure out how noboyd brings this shit up
The only point of contention I have with your video is that, historically, it would be correct to say that Jordan retired after the first 3-peat following not his father's death or passing, but his murder. Mike wanted the last game his father was alive to see, to be his last game played. We all understood why he retired at the time.
And just to add to that, MJ said at the beginning of the season if he were to do something that Magic and Bird hadn’t or couldn’t do which is win his 3rd chip in a row, he’d consider retirement
My favorite was when they asked if they would take Mahomes vs Brady in a winner takes all game for GOAT, and they all said Mahomes....like Super Bowl 55 didnt exist.
Rings don't matter? That's how you know LeBron fans have become utterly desperate. The thing EVERY player trains for, diets for, travels for, bleeds and sweats for...means nothing. Should they mean everything? No. But to say rings are meaningless not only cheapens the value and the struggle to get them it contradicts LeBrons decisions throughout his career. How many of his decisions from leaving Cleveland to begging the Lakers to trade half the roster for AD were motivated in the pursuit of those "meaningless" rings? Shannon as a professional athlete just insinuated rings are meaningless. Not a fan. Not a news pundit. Not a analyst or agent. A effing HOF professional athlete. Dude will sell his damn soul in his quest to simp for LeBron. It's actually disgusting. Even more so when he had that debate with Tony Gonzalez years ago who's stats lap Shannons and his argument over Tony was literally I got rings.
Jokic passed LeMoron in triple doubles a real team leader stat. 7 1/4 seasons to 21 1/4 seasons. LeMoron got the broom last year. I don’t even put MJ anywhere near leOverrated, there is no comparison. The Minneapolis Lakers, Boston Celtics, and Chicago Bulls dominated in their time, whereas LeBaby has to get traded and trades around him to win 4 on three different teams.
I don't understand why we should care about the opinions of football players on Basketball especially knowing that some suffer brain damage due to playing that game.
@@ryanr20091 They would be well served keeping away from the dafter & more controversial opinions. For instance, if somebody were to say that Robert Horry is now the G.O.A.T & not Michael Jordan because he won 7 rings (7 - 0 in the Finals) and MJ 6 (6 - 0 in the Finals), are we supposed to just keep calm, let that slide & accept that opinion as valid? That said, if you table foolproof, incontrovertible & compelling evidence that convinces us of your premise, no problem! However, if you go on that TH-camr clout chasing malarkey to wind up folk & generate engagement, verily I say unto you, you will get checked and I will be here for it no matter what.
@@ryanr20091 Nope. Eye-test. Did Bill Russel have any flashy and entertaining moves? Did Bill Russell ever win 10 scoring titles? How many Finals MVPs did Bill Russell win among his 11 chips? How many normal season MVPs did Bill Russell rack up in his career? How many times was Bill Russell even the best player in those 11-title winning teams? Did Bill Russell bring worldwide excitement to Basketball? Was there young kids in the park hooping, hoping to be like Bill Russell if they ever got to the League? What sort of competition did Russell go up against? Remember that Bill was in a stacked juggernaut chock-full of Hall of Famers going up against Plumbers, Bakers & coke-heads. MJ went up against fully professional ballers and still won. Who were the great players out of the Celtics in the era Bill Russel played? Juxtapose that against the likes of Patrick Ewing, Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Shawn Kemp, Gary Payton, Reggie Miller, Hakeem Olajuwon, Clyde Drexler, Mad Max, Latrell Spreewell, Rasheed Wallace, Shaquille O' Neal, Jermaine O' Neal, Alonzo Mourning, ZeBo & a host of others who were great players but many retired without a chip primarily due to the bald 'god in baggy shorts' at Chicago. What was Bill Russell's value to his team? How many wins did they get with him in the team against when he was out of the team? MJ is the undisputable G.O.A.T & few others even come close.
This is why people love TNT the most. They don't BS there. Everyone at TNT knows Jordan is the goat. ESPN and Fox BS all the time. They don't want everyone agreeing on a subject. They'd rather debate and argue so they can get more views.
Jordan did 6 rings in 13 years but one season he was out 64 games and returned on a time restriction and another season it was his return to the NBA where he only played 17 games (regular season). So basically in 11 healthy/full seasons, he got 6 rings and everything else.
Those total stats arguments are nauseating. I don't ever recall a coach game planning for a players totals. It was about what your averaging because that speaks to game to game dominance.
MJ with 30.7 per game in his career so you knew who was the guy every night. But even without knowing that everyone just by watching Michael Jordan knew he was "that guy" nearly every game he played.
Remember what that one dude said it’s facts😂 NBA trainer Tim Grover: This has only happened 4 times in the history of the NBA where one player has won the scoring title, MVP, was 1st Team All-Defense, led playoff in scoring and FMVP. You know who those 4 players were? Jordan, Jordan, Jordan, and Jordan.Jul 20, 2023 Now add the double 3 peat then add the best shoe line then how he opened the doors for guys after him to get payed like that on their shoe contracts. Then talk about the defensive aggression he played against.
There’s no real purpose in longevity if productivity is stagnant and stale. MJ did far more individually for the league itself and himself, in less time. The debate is so pointless.
Shannon has turned into a clown. Skip Bayless (for all his faults) made Shay Shay into who he is in the media today. He was just a humble ex-NFL player, and Skip gave him a platform on Undisputed on FS1. His ego grew and grew. He left the show because he wanted to branch out and do his own podcast and make his own brand. He used the Hamlin tweet (Skip saying how the NFL game not counting would affect the playoffs) rather than worrying about the young man’s health… as a way for Sharpe to exit the show and claim he couldn’t work with Skip anymore. Just abandoned the show that made him.
Here's a simple FACT nobody can dispute, from day one of MJ playing in the NBA he was cleary the best player in the league, and remained the best in the league until his last shot in the finals against the Jazz. MJ became the greatest of all time when his accolades and accomplishments merged with his God given gift of basketball prowess. This was never a debate with anyone who has a sound mind, and clear vision. MJ 🐐
The title GOAT should be given to those players who has records that expand their lifetime. Like Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell. Imagine having set records that at still unbroken more than an average NBA players career after your death. That's what it means to be the Greatest of All Time. Wilt and Bill set some of these records before MJ, LBJ and so on were born. And some of those records still stand.
If you played 5 years and averaged 40 15 and 10, you're better than someone who played 10 years and averaged 23 8 and 6. The second player have more total stats, but the first player played better. Quality of averages matters more than total stats. You could be an average player for 50 years and eventually be on an all time list lol
I think right now though as far as the Mahomes/Brady vs Lebron/Jordan goes. It still is Lebron/Jordan ATM. But Mahomes is definitely making a good case and is closing the gap quickly. Brady however does hold a super bowl win vs Mahomes. They are even in head-to-head match ups. Will be interesting to see how Mahomes keeps playing from here on. I definitely think he has a shot to do it.
MJ has 10 scoring titles MJ is a better scorer than LBJ. LBJ has the most points scored due to playing over 20 years where MJ played 14 and retired twice. MJ has 9 1st team defense and a DPOY, LBJ has 5 and 0 DPOY MJ is the better defender. MJ played with Pippen, LBJ had played with multiple allstars
You really can't take somebody serious who has a LeBron James blankie and pillow. And I do love Shannon Sharpe but he's got to stop because he's making himself seem like he just wants LeBron to leave Savannah for him
Can't this Shannon character get a clue? MJ is way more athletically skilled and is naturally gifted. Michael is a 100X more exciting and, LeBron is just so-so late in his career.
If MJ in his prime, hadn’t played baseball for 2yrs-He’d of had 8 straight Championships. And he also succeeded in Washington too. He made them relevant. By that I mean, he sold out the stadium-which had the lowest attendance, before he signed with them. He also increased the value of the Wizards Franchise. Which is a success. People forget that In his first season with the Wizards, Jordan averaged 22.9 points per game, the 10th-highest mark in the NBA, along with 5.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.4 steals per game. His efficiency was down compared to his prime years (41.6 percent shooting from the field), but he was the leading scorer on a team that lacked any sort of offensive firepower outside of a young Richard Hamilton. He also poured in a 51pt night at over 40 years old. In his first season with the Wizards, Jordan averaged 22.9 points per game, the 10th-highest mark in the NBA, along with 5.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.4 steals per game. His efficiency was down compared to his prime years (41.6 percent shooting from the field), but he was the leading scorer on a team that lacked any sort of offensive firepower outside of a young Richard Hamilton. As a member of the Wizards, Jordan had eight games with 40 or more points while shooting at least 50 percent from the field. To put that in perspective, Kawhi Leonard has five 40-plus point games in his career. Oh, and regarding Washington's record? Those 37-win seasons look a lot better when you remember that the Wizards went 19-63 before Jordan picked up a jersey and 25-57 after he left it in the locker room for good. Those squads weren't going to win rings, but they weren't basement dwellers, either. It's crazy to think the 2001-02 team was even close to the playoffs. So that would be a success. Goat debate CLOSED! We don’t even need to talk about the fact that he never had to play a game 7 in the finals He had the major awards of MVP, Defensive Player of The Year, Led the League in Steals, Scoring Title, and was Finals MVP in the 92-93 Season with : Points per game Rebounds per game Assists per game Steals per game Blocks per game Player Efficiency Rating Regular Season 32.6 6.7 5.5 2.8 0.8 29.7 Scoring Champion, All-NBA, All-Defensive, All-Star, Playoffs 35.1 6.7 6.0 2.1 0.9 30.1 NBA Champion, Finals MVP. Which he elevated all his regular Season Stats Once again GOAT DEBATE CLOSED!!!
In the 90s, Jordan played six full seasons and won six championship, six final MVP'S, named the league MVP in four of those years. If you only count the 1990s, Jordan basically did more in those 6 years than LeBron has in his 21 years and counting.

Mahomes or Lebron aren’t even in the conversation yet, they played their peak during the weakest points of both sports organizations
Mahomes plays in the AFC who has the best QBs in the NFL right now.
This season, he beat statically the best QBs in the NFL.
Tua in the Wild card
Josh Allen in the Divisional round
2-time MVP Lamar Jackson in the AFC championship game
Brock Purdy in the Super bowl
Those are all Pro bowl QBs
Mahomes is definitely closer though, and at least he's the best ever talent-wise at the position.
Be careful- part of the reason the league go softer is because of the "Tom Brady rule" that prevented pocket QB's from being hit anywhere. Tom Brady would've have lasted to 45 if the league didn't protect him after the ACL tear.
@@Arctanis-vt3hl And the colts, manning rule that prompted less aggressive play from defensive backs on receivers. Nevertheless, all qbs have benefited from the Brady rule including mahomes.
Mahomes at least passes the eye test and is insanely CLUTCH, dude LIVES for the clutch moments. you'd never see Mahomes handing the ball off scared to throw the rock in crunch time
"Rings don't matter" but taking games off against the Celtics and other top teams while stat-padding against the Hornets and the Pistons does matter.
Lol good point. Thank you for remembering that and putting it out there for the LeTard meat riders 😂
Just for the fact that Jordan never requested for any particular help gives him advantage on the GOAT debate. Among all the acomplishments. All other guys in the Goat debates had more help
Yes, but its very simple... if you analyze the eras and just the player Jordan is better at everything except 3 point shooting and that's debatable. And yes Michael Jordan is a better playmaker. You add the accolades and it's not even close

That is entirely wrong, but okay.
Thats why I always say that its not just about what you accomplished, but HOW you accomplished it, and nobody has ever done it in better than Jordan. Id put Kobe and Curry right behind him. They stayed with their team and built that team into dynasties. They did it the man’s way, unlike lebitch.

As you can see When LeBron James joins a team, the team improves more than Michael Jordan and when LeBron James leaves a team, the team always goes into the tank.
Michael Jordan, excluding the 94-97 seasons, when the NBA moved the three point line to 22 feet, was a career 28% three point shooter. LeBron James is a career 34% three point shooter
Michael Jordan was a great defensive player, in an Era where you could handcheck. Playing defense is much easier when you can handcheck. For nearly 6'9 250 LeBron James' entire career he wasn't afforded the opportunity to handcheck.
THE EVIDENCE IS CLEAR..LEBRON JAMES IS THE GOAT!!!!!
I have added a Postscript
So many have replied, that LeBron james didn't make the playoffs his first two years and Jordan did. What they fail to say is, in 1985, 16 of 23 teams made the playoffs. In 2004, 16 of 29 teams made the playoffs. It was MUCH EASIER. Perfect example is the 1985 86 bulls went 30-52 and made the playoffs and the 2004 05 cavaliers went 42-40 and did not make the playoffs. Also, I don't know, possibly, maybe, Jordan had a HUGE ADVANTAGE considering he played three years of college basketball and LeBron James was 19 years old, and straight out of high school

the only reason LeMickey is still in the league is so he has that "longevity" to throw around as an "argument" in the GOAT debate... but real ones know MJ is still the one and only at the top
Exactly. I watched both players from rookie year and on and there is no way anyone can make a valid case of Lebron being better than Jordan. If they both played during the same years then people would be able to see just how dominating Jordan was compared to Lebron. Today's kids and those who never witnessed Jordan argue that Lebron is better because he is all they got to see. If you didn't witness both then stfu and stay quiet.
How can shannon spout off longevity, when lebron has only played all 82 games once in his career and load manages? Of course when you don't play as many full seasons and you load manage, you're likely to play longer. He's also not playing any defense.
Bingo!!! And it's costing his teammates and the league big time.... the new culture he started.... no heart, no loyalty, no grit, no fearlessness, just focus on yourself and your stats and make winning second
Do you rank Grant Hill over Paul Pierce?
Why do people pretend that the Mj era competition was as good as Lebrons competition? Mj era was full of junkies, and alcoholics to keep it honest. Mj took advantage of addicts and he knew it. Why you think he was able to play golf and smoke cigars after games? The league was horrible

100%, it's why tell the Bron fans Lebron can get 50K points and still no CHIP. It doesn't mean much unless your team is winning. Jordan didn't get the all time scoring title, but won and he was the reason the Bulls won. Jordan was the reason players like Bird, Miller, Magic, Isiah, Barkley or Ewing did not win CHIPS.

The only point of contention I have with your video is that, historically, it would be correct to say that Jordan retired after the first 3-peat following not his father's death or passing, but his murder.
Mike wanted the last game his father was alive to see, to be his last game played.
We all understood why he retired at the time.

I don't understand why we should care about the opinions of football players on Basketball especially knowing that some suffer brain damage due to playing that game.
😂
by your logic you tubers shouldn't have opinions either since they haven't played
@@ryanr20091 They would be well served keeping away from the dafter & more controversial opinions.
For instance, if somebody were to say that Robert Horry is now the G.O.A.T & not Michael Jordan because he won 7 rings (7 - 0 in the Finals) and MJ 6 (6 - 0 in the Finals), are we supposed to just keep calm, let that slide & accept that opinion as valid?
That said, if you table foolproof, incontrovertible & compelling evidence that convinces us of your premise, no problem!
However, if you go on that TH-camr clout chasing malarkey to wind up folk & generate engagement, verily I say unto you, you will get checked and I will be here for it no matter what.
@@dennismukoyatv welll evidence shows bill russel has 11 rings so we have to accept him as goat of championships enough about Jordan
@@ryanr20091 Nope.
Eye-test. Did Bill Russel have any flashy and entertaining moves?
Did Bill Russell ever win 10 scoring titles?
How many Finals MVPs did Bill Russell win among his 11 chips?
How many normal season MVPs did Bill Russell rack up in his career?
How many times was Bill Russell even the best player in those 11-title winning teams?
Did Bill Russell bring worldwide excitement to Basketball? Was there young kids in the park hooping, hoping to be like Bill Russell if they ever got to the League?
What sort of competition did Russell go up against? Remember that Bill was in a stacked juggernaut chock-full of Hall of Famers going up against Plumbers, Bakers & coke-heads.
MJ went up against fully professional ballers and still won.
Who were the great players out of the Celtics in the era Bill Russel played?
Juxtapose that against the likes of Patrick Ewing, Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Shawn Kemp, Gary Payton, Reggie Miller, Hakeem Olajuwon, Clyde Drexler, Mad Max, Latrell Spreewell, Rasheed Wallace, Shaquille O' Neal, Jermaine O' Neal, Alonzo Mourning, ZeBo & a host of others who were great players but many retired without a chip primarily due to the bald 'god in baggy shorts' at Chicago.
What was Bill Russell's value to his team? How many wins did they get with him in the team against when he was out of the team?
MJ is the undisputable G.O.A.T & few others even come close.
The same way Tom Brady would get closelined by linebackers and Mahomes didn’t. Jordan got closelined by power forwards and Lebron didn’t.
Great video! Thanks for speaking facts!
"Died" isn't a good description for Jordan's father. He was carjacked and murdered.
anyone that says Lebron is better than MJ either didn't watch Jordan play or on the Klutch payroll
Shannon considers himself the greatest tightend of all time because he had 3 rings with 2 different teams
Exactly. He uses his rings as his reason to put him over Tony Gonzales even tho Tony has better longevity and stats.
This is why people love TNT the most. They don't BS there. Everyone at TNT knows Jordan is the goat. ESPN and Fox BS all the time. They don't want everyone agreeing on a subject. They'd rather debate and argue so they can get more views.
They like to talk about him having the most points but turn their head when you bring up the most turnovers and most missed shots.
Jordan did 6 rings in 13 years but one season he was out 64 games and returned on a time restriction and another season it was his return to the NBA where he only played 17 games (regular season). So basically in 11 healthy/full seasons, he got 6 rings and everything else.
Those total stats arguments are nauseating. I don't ever recall a coach game planning for a players totals. It was about what your averaging because that speaks to game to game dominance.
MJ with 30.7 per game in his career so you knew who was the guy every night. But even without knowing that everyone just by watching Michael Jordan knew he was "that guy" nearly every game he played.
Remember what that one dude said it’s facts😂
NBA trainer Tim Grover: This has only happened 4 times in the history of the NBA where one player has won the scoring title, MVP, was 1st Team All-Defense, led playoff in scoring and FMVP. You know who those 4 players were? Jordan, Jordan, Jordan, and Jordan.Jul 20, 2023
Now add the double 3 peat then add the best shoe line then how he opened the doors for guys after him to get payed like that on their shoe contracts. Then talk about the defensive aggression he played against.
“So now 3 peats matter?” - Shannon sharpe
INSANE
That's my favorite argument: How many three-peats? Kobe and Shaq got one, so they're up on Lebron too.
There’s no real purpose in longevity if productivity is stagnant and stale. MJ did far more individually for the league itself and himself, in less time. The debate is so pointless.
Shannon has turned into a clown. Skip Bayless (for all his faults) made Shay Shay into who he is in the media today. He was just a humble ex-NFL player, and Skip gave him a platform on Undisputed on FS1. His ego grew and grew. He left the show because he wanted to branch out and do his own podcast and make his own brand. He used the Hamlin tweet (Skip saying how the NFL game not counting would affect the playoffs) rather than worrying about the young man’s health… as a way for Sharpe to exit the show and claim he couldn’t work with Skip anymore. Just abandoned the show that made him.
Here's a simple FACT nobody can dispute, from day one of MJ playing in the NBA he was cleary the best player in the league, and remained the best in the league until his last shot in the finals against the Jazz.
MJ became the greatest of all time when his accolades and accomplishments merged with his God given gift of basketball prowess.
This was never a debate with anyone who has a sound mind, and clear vision.
MJ 🐐
I actually like LeBron but 2011 and 2022 knock him completely from this argument.
MJ, Kobe, Kareem, Magic, Tim, Bill all better then LeBron
The title GOAT should be given to those players who has records that expand their lifetime.
Like Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell.
Imagine having set records that at still unbroken more than an average NBA players career after your death. That's what it means to be the Greatest of All Time. Wilt and Bill set some of these records before MJ, LBJ and so on were born. And some of those records still stand.
If you played 5 years and averaged 40 15 and 10, you're better than someone who played 10 years and averaged 23 8 and 6. The second player have more total stats, but the first player played better.
Quality of averages matters more than total stats. You could be an average player for 50 years and eventually be on an all time list lol
The question is "CAN LEBRON GUARD JASON TERRY??"
Lebron haven’t caught Kobe, he’s many moons away from Kobe
I think right now though as far as the Mahomes/Brady vs Lebron/Jordan goes. It still is Lebron/Jordan ATM. But Mahomes is definitely making a good case and is closing the gap quickly. Brady however does hold a super bowl win vs Mahomes. They are even in head-to-head match ups. Will be interesting to see how Mahomes keeps playing from here on. I definitely think he has a shot to do it.
12 years 6 champions, scoring titles, DPOY, vs 20 years 4 champion ...
and you told me 20 years is better? really? how
MJ has 10 scoring titles MJ is a better scorer than LBJ. LBJ has the most points scored due to playing over 20 years where MJ played 14 and retired twice. MJ has 9 1st team defense and a DPOY, LBJ has 5 and 0 DPOY MJ is the better defender. MJ played with Pippen, LBJ had played with multiple allstars
Lebum Lames will never fill MJs shoes. He tries so hard by copying his jersey #, salt celebration etc...
If your GOAT is the greatest runner up of all time. Then you do you🤷
You really can't take somebody serious who has a LeBron James blankie and pillow. And I do love Shannon Sharpe but he's got to stop because he's making himself seem like he just wants LeBron to leave Savannah for him
Can't this Shannon character get a clue? MJ is way more athletically skilled and is naturally gifted. Michael is a 100X more exciting and, LeBron is just so-so late in his career.
If MJ in his prime, hadn’t played baseball for 2yrs-He’d of had 8 straight Championships. And he also succeeded in Washington too. He made them relevant. By that I mean, he sold out the stadium-which had the lowest attendance, before he signed with them. He also increased the value of the Wizards Franchise. Which is a success. People forget that In his first season with the Wizards, Jordan averaged 22.9 points per game, the 10th-highest mark in the NBA, along with 5.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.4 steals per game. His efficiency was down compared to his prime years (41.6 percent shooting from the field), but he was the leading scorer on a team that lacked any sort of offensive firepower outside of a young Richard Hamilton. He also poured in a 51pt night at over 40 years old. In his first season with the Wizards, Jordan averaged 22.9 points per game, the 10th-highest mark in the NBA, along with 5.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.4 steals per game. His efficiency was down compared to his prime years (41.6 percent shooting from the field), but he was the leading scorer on a team that lacked any sort of offensive firepower outside of a young Richard Hamilton. As a member of the Wizards, Jordan had eight games with 40 or more points while shooting at least 50 percent from the field. To put that in perspective, Kawhi Leonard has five 40-plus point games in his career. Oh, and regarding Washington's record? Those 37-win seasons look a lot better when you remember that the Wizards went 19-63 before Jordan picked up a jersey and 25-57 after he left it in the locker room for good. Those squads weren't going to win rings, but they weren't basement dwellers, either. It's crazy to think the 2001-02 team was even close to the playoffs. So that would be a success. Goat debate CLOSED! We don’t even need to talk about the fact that he never had to play a game 7 in the finals He had the major awards of MVP, Defensive Player of The Year, Led the League in Steals, Scoring Title, and was Finals MVP in the 92-93 Season with :

Once again GOAT DEBATE CLOSED!!!
This video sounds like Skip using a voice mod to make fun of sharpe 😅
Jordan Wizard years was to 911 as the last dance was for the pandemic. We needed that.
The pic of Shay in the thumbnail made me lol
"I got three Super Bowl wins, I am in the freaking Hall of Fame!!" "So what? " Put your GLASSES BACK ON!!!"
So sad they never mention Tim Duncan 5-1 championships
It‘s not about how many rings - it‘s about how impressive these rings were achieved…
From 91 to 98, Micheal Jordan played over 600 hundred games without ever losing 3 straight.
Lebron>Jordan
Mahomes>Brady.
Mr. 4-6, that one right there made me the greatest loser of all time 😂
In the 90s, Jordan played six full seasons and won six championship, six final MVP'S, named the league MVP in four of those years. If you only count the 1990s, Jordan basically did more in those 6 years than LeBron has in his 21 years and counting.
The greatest is about the peak of player Shannon knows this he’s getting paid
He forgot to add misses and turnovers😂😂
ESPN segments are super stupid.
When did the Denver broncos tight end become an expert on Basketball
Advanced stats >>>>>>>>>> total career stats. Total stats and basic box score numbers dont properly account for different eras
