When have you heard someone say it was like playing with god reference a player. Shaq, AI, etc say it’s MJ. How is this even still a conversation. Longevity, James hands down. Greatest player to ever set foot on a court, Jordan. I get it makes for good debates but it’s laughable at this point
Lebron’s is nice, no doubt but imo, his longevity is tied to chasing goat status. Jordan walked away knowing what he did on the court was in a space of its own. If he easily wanted the points title, we all know he could have easily obtained it.
Yeah in 10 years LeBron convo will be like Kareem once was - top 3 player, defined several eras, crazy longevity and unbreakable career scoring record. But MJ is and will continue to be on another level - 6 of 6 with 6 finals mvps, 5 mvps, 10 scoring titles, 3 steals titles, mvp+scoring title+dpoy+all star mvp+dunk champion in the same season.. if Even someone as illustrious as LeBron couldn’t equal MJ, it says a lot.
Jordan was like watching a demi god out there. He was so magical out there it's like he wasn't even real. Like as a kid in the 90s. We literally thought he could fly. If you started playing the bulls intro theme right now I'd get PARALYZING CHILLS. IM 42!!
41 in august…the bulls theme is legendary and MJ is the goat. Witnessing with your own eyes MJ Kobe and Lebron….its no question MJ. Kobe is 2 Lebron can be 3
It’s why it’s so crazy to me how younger lebron fans have this growing narrative that Jordan being the greatest is propaganda and manipulated by the nba. Yo go watch the footage his game looks different than any player I’ve seen. I’ve never seen anyone freestyle a shot reacting to the defense in the air like him and as often as him.
I watched bulls growing up,but I was never in some short shock and awe.This is why I considered Kobe greater than Jordan because he didn't care put jordan on n some pedestal black Jesus?He said you mean Mike?
JJ is so full of shit. He doesn't care? But he constantly talks about it. And he's constantly trying to bring Jordan down. He most certainly does care. And he's also extremely biased.
@@Shaz-Daz JJ may have lost integrity to neutral fans but strengthen it to LeBron fans. The NBA community reminds of politics hollering for their guys and I say MJ is the GOAT 😂
Facts. We will see more guys with 25k pts during this era at any point in the history of the game. The playoffs, look a little better defense wise. But it's still suspect hoops
JJ not star struck, yet everyone one at the top 75 NBA players, All Star weekend were still in awe and star struck when Mike pulled up. JJ out here capping
-- Kobe is great. But the reason why I don't have him in my GOAT list? MJ did it better. 6 rings (w/ 6 FMVPs vs Kobe's 5 rings and 2 FMVP), 5 MVPs (vs 1), 10 scoring titles (vs 2). If I want a killer in the closing minute of a game? MJ, Bird --- then Kobe over LePasser.
@@jlui21 I'm a big Kobe fan, and always knew MJ was a little better. But I also suspect people are ignorant when they don't even put Kobe or Bird in their top 5 or 6. They had that end of game killer mentality, but they were aggressive from tipoff to final buzzer, every game. Offense and defense. Both were smaller than LBJ, but more alpha. Outside of MJ at #1, I think there are valid arguments for MANY greats in the 2-10 spots of all time.
The expansion argument again, holy dumb points JJ. It didn’t water down the entire league lol but it did make a couple wins easier to obtain, but the cream still rose to the top and the competition was relative.
Am I the only one who thinks GOAT, this word is not just enough to explain and describe Michael Jordan? He's more like a descended god himself to show us how to play this ballgame, basketball. He completed this ballgame. We know nobody will show us anything better. It's the mythology in the era of science like a Greek mythology including comedy and tragedyㅡ for people who were born before and around 80s. Lucky us, we'd witnessed the finest play and narrative and...we just get to know that it was last dance, nothing will ever be over his legacy and nothing will be as beautiful and inspirational as his play. THANKS GOD, THANKS MIKE
JJ just lied when he said 90 players got added to the league. 6 teams x 12 roster spots = 72 and those 6 teams didn't pick guys off the street, they picked guys that were playing in the NBA

He also failed to mention that there are more undrated players playing today than at any other time in NBA history. Not only that, the same expansion teams he criticize were better then than they are now. He contradicts himself constantly on the topic.
JJ is always credible but by saying those things about MJ makes him totally the opposite. JJ be careful you are in your start of your journalist career. dont become the next Nick Wright
Where not bringing up 3x Steals leader, 9x 1st team all defense and defensive player of the year? MJ only scored? Over their careers, LeBron average 1 more rebound and 2 more assist.
@@HakunaMatataHakuna_matata069he’d average more considering he’s took a 2 year break in his prime and retired in his prime as well lol Scottie even aid if he hadn’t retired they win.2 more and he still lowered his oof playing at an older age than lebron is now stfu
People also forget that they had MJ at point guard in 89 towards the end of the season and during that stretch he was one rebound off from avg a 30 point triple double. Lebron benefited massively from how the league has become position less, which allows him to be a point forward.
What I noticed about MJ’s film is he guarded the point of attack, if you ever got the ball, you were going to have your nuts checked by MJ himself at some point in the game, and that’s where fear would come in
The league was not watered down by adding a couple teams in the 90s. They didn't take random guys off their couches to fill those rosters. They took players from every other team.
You just agreed that it is really hard to keep a wining competitive edge, if that is so, then what does it say about a MJ for doing it in 2 three-peats?
He was never better than Kobe when they were at the peak of their powers. Newer fans and people who didn't actually watch the era like to retroactively say Duncan was on the same level or even better but they clearly haven't watched a single game from that era.
Draymond is forgetting that 01 team had Ron Harper & Horace Grant in that starting lineup. And had shooters Fisher, Horry, Rick Fox, Brian Shaw, even Glen Rice the prior season. That KD Warriors team losing in 6! ✔
Scoring 25 now doesn't mean the same as... scoring 25 in 1990! No one is allowed to play defense in today's NBA.... period. The NBA now is only flag football with nearly everyone travelling.
@@poocrayon4588 of course the bulls could do that, all they have to do is double team malone and it's over😂, lol try this today double team other players and boom three's would be raining 😂😂
What are you talking about JJ? Jordan's era watered down compared to what? Compared to before '88 maybe. But not compared to today. Did number of teams shrink after MJ?
Hey JJ there’s a quote from Lebron saying the league has too many teams early in his career so that was watered down. Those teams back in the day added were good. Shaq was one of one
JJ: when you're 22 and play against people you have on a pedestal, it's different. Shaq: That was Jordan for Mr. JJ: Really? REALLY?! MAN WHAT! LIKE YOU SURPRISED 🤣🤣🤣
We get it JJ, you got a podcast with the man… we’ve seen the episodes… chill Fuck out of here with “water down” Shaq and the magic reached the finals and weren’t even close to a decade of existence
Jj wants to prove LeBron is the greatest so bad.. he can never give MJ any props. MJ in his prime, if he heard JJ talk, MJ would have that day circled for LeBron just to make JJ eat his words. Don't overlook Mikes competitiveness. That man kept his college roommate up all night until he won in monopoly lol. The game has evolved... you don't think MJ wouldn't evolve more in today's game? Yes.. yes he would
But Lebron doesn’t win and chooses who to play against and has injuries when he has to play dominant teams. Longevity 🤦♂️, it’s the worst argument eveeeerrrrr.
Lebron is a great, great player and in my own personal rankings he's actually no.2 in my books. But MJ is no. 1 and I can't even see anyone coming close. MJ is a once in a lifetime player. There's the stars we all know about already, but for me what people forget about is how MJ played during the 80s and early 90s. MJ CAPTIVATED you. There's great skilled players today like Kyrie, Luka, Anthony Edwards, etc etc but they still don't excite me as much as MJ did. Something about the way MJ used to float in the air and do creative layups and dunk. There's a reason why they say, 'Wanna be like Mike' or 'Fly like Mike'.
Bill Russell and Kareem have to be in the conversation too. 6 rings, 5 MVPs, all time leading scorer for the longest time. Russell has 11 rings, would've been MVP many times if it existed back then. The problem with Kobe is he doesn't have the stats, accolades and never dominated the league like MJ, Lebron and Russell. MJ never lost in the finals, Lebron went 10 times, Russell won 11 times. Kobe was only #1 for two of the finals and it doesn't matter what anyone says: it's a fact. Shaq was finals MVP all 3 years they were together, and regular season MVP once. Phil built the team around him and told Kobe to scale back because Shaq was #1. Shaq's finals numbers were crazy and he was one of the most dominant players ever. They had to hire players just to foul him because the only chance they had was him shooting free throws. Then look at Magic: he was finals MVP in his rookie year as a center when Kareem was injured. He has 3 MVPs, 3 finals MVPs including in his rookie year. And he revolutioned the PG position. Kobe is considered a copy of Jordan and not even the best SG ever. How is he above Magic?
Everyone’s great I didn’t even watch basketball before Kobe died but his work ethic is second to none and that why I choose Kobe because he inspires me to get shit done
When the discussion is about " Who's the greatest? " for sure its always subjective. But Mike's influence in Basketball is the greatest! Everyone wants to be like him. You want to play like him, you want to wear his shoes. I mean common man. He is second to none. His colleagues knows the magnitude Mike brings to the table. Even if he is with celebrities, they tell you, Mike is more famous than them. 😂
And it's only in the USA that people debate this trust me I am from India and the Basket Ball community is quite small compared to Cricket but almost everyone who knows and loves Basket Ball considers MJ the GOAT cuz he is the reason we started playing the sport

Shaq: " a lot of people don't know this but I wanted to be like magic johnson... a 6'9'' point guard" ... I saw shaq live at the palace, the year he won his title with the Heat. I think it was D miles that said it best, you can be 7 feet tall... still look at shaq and be like... god damn thats a big MF.... The dude did the nastiest reverse I ever seen IRL then gave a wink to Ben Wallace afterwards
JJ needs to research more before saying things - how many roster spots then ? … 12 and now it’s 15 plus 10 day contracts so is it more watered down now? No - nba level players are the elite and always have been since it became professional… Stop pretending to be impartial while elevating Lebron and down playing MJ we can see what you’re doing
JJ's argument doesn't quite hold weight because you're still adding the best players in the world to those teams. Yeah you'll have that team struggle for a few years but it's not unlike the ordinary doings of the NBA.
The whole argument of adding teams might lead to a water down league may have merit. BUT makes no sense when debating LeBron and MJ; it's not like the league has detracted in LeBron's era.
LeBron so great.... People are really starting to sound dumb when they say that because his career and where it has gone...the way LeBron and the Lakers just got swept out the playoffs.... That greatness really doesn't exits at this point, not at the level these people are trying to put it. Hell, if you take LeBron's numbers and divide by his years in the NBA, that's not even that impressive because he's been playing for a millennium now. LeBron's another first ballot hall of fame player... Lets leave it at that and stop trying to make him something he never was. It's silly at this point trying to push him over MJ23. Hell, I wouldn't put LeBron over Kobe, let alone MJ.
Lebrons level is impressive all these years but you can’t guard anymore. Jordan would get takin TF out and it would be a regular call, he couldn’t run a get people ejected like Lebron 😂 mj body went through hell night after night. Lebron gets an eyelash in his eye he needs a wheelchair

Lebron is a great, great player and in my own personal rankings he's actually no.2 in my books. But MJ is no. 1 and I can't even see anyone coming close. MJ is a once in a lifetime player. There's the stars we all know about already, but for me what people forget about is how MJ played during the 80s and early 90s. MJ CAPTIVATED you. There's great skilled players today like Kyrie, Luka, Anthony Edwards, etc etc but they still don't excite me as much as MJ did. Something about the way MJ used to float in the air and do creative layups and dunk. There's a reason why they say, 'Wanna be like Mike' or 'Fly like Mike'.
Bill Russell and Kareem have to be in the conversation too. 6 rings, 5 MVPs, all time leading scorer for the longest time. Russell has 11 rings, would've been MVP many times if it existed back then.
The problem with Kobe is he doesn't have the stats, accolades and never dominated the league like MJ, Lebron and Russell. MJ never lost in the finals, Lebron went 10 times, Russell won 11 times. Kobe was only #1 for two of the finals and it doesn't matter what anyone says: it's a fact. Shaq was finals MVP all 3 years they were together, and regular season MVP once. Phil built the team around him and told Kobe to scale back because Shaq was #1. Shaq's finals numbers were crazy and he was one of the most dominant players ever. They had to hire players just to foul him because the only chance they had was him shooting free throws.
Then look at Magic: he was finals MVP in his rookie year as a center when Kareem was injured. He has 3 MVPs, 3 finals MVPs including in his rookie year. And he revolutioned the PG position. Kobe is considered a copy of Jordan and not even the best SG ever. How is he above Magic?
not even shannon sharpe can SUC* Le-flops James so much as this JJ reddick dude
Everyone’s great I didn’t even watch basketball before Kobe died but his work ethic is second to none and that why I choose Kobe because he inspires me to get shit done
Shaq be cussing like crazy 😂😂😂
JJ is probably really high in this conversation.
MJ is just made different. He had the IT factor there has been nobody since. It is like seeing a fictional TV character brought to life.
There were not 90 players added to the nba, that's not how the expansion process worked
JJ, you were not in MJ caliber period. You cold not contain MJ. JJ struggle to give MJ his props. Opinion
JJ is lost in Lebronda mangina sauce
Totally Positive
“I don’t care about the goat debate.” But I’m trying my damndest to put Lebron as the goat. Shut up JJ.
Mj goat
Why does the audio cut in and out?
In the eyes of the beholder LBJ is the greatest flopper and crybaby. The guy cant score without travel smh
He learned from Mj. MJs best shot he even pushed off.
Feel good about yourself now??? Smh 😂🤣💯
You're not wrong.
When the discussion is about " Who's the greatest? " for sure its always subjective. But Mike's influence in Basketball is the greatest! Everyone wants to be like him. You want to play like him, you want to wear his shoes. I mean common man. He is second to none. His colleagues knows the magnitude Mike brings to the table. Even if he is with celebrities, they tell you, Mike is more famous than them. 😂
And it's only in the USA that people debate this trust me I am from India and the Basket Ball community is quite small compared to Cricket but almost everyone who knows and loves Basket Ball considers MJ the GOAT cuz he is the reason we started playing the sport

MJ GOAT
JJ RedDICK riding Lebron.
It must be so miserable knowing the only way you can make money is by being a troll.
Jordan was drafted in 1984 and that’s the lakers coach
JJ is so insufferable sometimes man
Shaq: " a lot of people don't know this but I wanted to be like magic johnson... a 6'9'' point guard" ... I saw shaq live at the palace, the year he won his title with the Heat. I think it was D miles that said it best, you can be 7 feet tall... still look at shaq and be like... god damn thats a big MF.... The dude did the nastiest reverse I ever seen IRL then gave a wink to Ben Wallace afterwards
JJ and Bron started the done with the 90s
WTH is his comment on water down? So if his argument is true then its still watered down now, no? Its more players now then back then, no?
JJ needs to research more before saying things - how many roster spots then ? … 12 and now it’s 15 plus 10 day contracts so is it more watered down now?
No - nba level players are the elite and always have been since it became professional…
Stop pretending to be impartial while elevating Lebron and down playing MJ we can see what you’re doing
We get it JJ you're a Lebron guy 😂
I dont wanna get in the goat debate.
(Feels like 2 different vibes though:)
'He was the best young leader.' 😎
'So... what was his aura like...?' 😮
JJ's argument doesn't quite hold weight because you're still adding the best players in the world to those teams. Yeah you'll have that team struggle for a few years but it's not unlike the ordinary doings of the NBA.
He doesnt wanna do the goat debate but keeps talking about lebron, what he did etc... stfu JJ
The whole argument of adding teams might lead to a water down league may have merit. BUT makes no sense when debating LeBron and MJ; it's not like the league has detracted in LeBron's era.
JJ follows the current money.
JJ is a Bron Agent. The goal is always to downplay Jordan’s career…to lift up Bron’s.
LeBron so great.... People are really starting to sound dumb when they say that because his career and where it has gone...the way LeBron and the Lakers just got swept out the playoffs.... That greatness really doesn't exits at this point, not at the level these people are trying to put it. Hell, if you take LeBron's numbers and divide by his years in the NBA, that's not even that impressive because he's been playing for a millennium now.
LeBron's another first ballot hall of fame player... Lets leave it at that and stop trying to make him something he never was. It's silly at this point trying to push him over MJ23. Hell, I wouldn't put LeBron over Kobe, let alone MJ.
Mike, LeBron and Kobe (MLK)
Lebrons level is impressive all these years but you can’t guard anymore. Jordan would get takin TF out and it would be a regular call, he couldn’t run a get people ejected like Lebron 😂 mj body went through hell night after night. Lebron gets an eyelash in his eye he needs a wheelchair
True. 90s basketball was brutal. Dem pistons bad boys, oakley mason starks of the knicks damn no blood no foul
When Jordan was on the wizards who could he guard lol
@@comencme1 you mean the one who lived the 80s&90s? 😂😂 what’s your point? They might as well be playing with fisher price goal and basketball how watered down the physical side is. The game is not the same.
@@Leland387 i agree the NBA is just like the NFL no defense is allowed I was just saying that you said Bron can't guard anyone anymore and he can't but he's old and Jordan was with the wizards too they are both legends but again I agree the defense sucks I actually liked the low scoring games but apparently that doesn't sell tickets
@@comencme1 my bad, I got what you saying. lol I be hating on Lebron but on the real tho he changed the game when he came in, mj is the goat I don’t see how anybody can argue it but bron is for sure top 3 all time. As much as I don’t like to admit lol. It’s just his attitude over the years how it’s changed I don’t like really. I use to be a big fan of
