yeah but lebron didnt have teammates till 2011 either and he made the finals in 07. When he got teammates like Jordan did in his prime, his opponents were harder aka Golden State, not one of Jordan's opponents that he beat come close to golden state or san antonio.
Lebron wasn’t being guarded by Jason Terry or Jason Kidd, the mavs played a zone (which they couldn’t do when Jordan played).

Nothing like seeing a guy on TV getting paid millions who doesn’t know anything about basketball
Jordan faced a zone. Stop listening to LeBron fans. Thats like saying how are NBA players traveling when it's not being called. The NBA played a masked zone. Theres even video of Jordan discussing the zone he faced.

Get over yourself!
I don’t understand how you can say in one hand that Jordan didn’t win in the 80’s yet LeBron literally had the same path his first seven years and went out and picked his team in order to finally win a chip. Make it make sense.
Because lebron's story is only looked at as negatives. Jordan's career is only looked at as 6 years. But Jordan's story is told as if he beat those 80s dynasties.
MJ also picked his teammates, difference was recruiting to Chicago was way easier than recruiting to Cleveland. Major city and media market or the middle of nowhere. To act like MJ had no say in who the team recruited would be straight 🧢
You can turn on the telecast back in 1997 with Isaiah Thomas on commentary. And you will hear Isaiah Thomas refer to Michael Jordan as the greatest basketball player of all time. You can also pull up an interview in the '80s Isaiah did on The arsenio Hall show. And listen to how he talked about Michael jordan. In the '80s. When he talks about what happened in 1987 since 1987 was his best year. Jordan 1 MVP defensive player of the Year slam dunk championship steals leader average 1.8 blocks per game at shooting guard All-Star game MVP. See the only thing that they can bring up is well he lost before he had a team. But he was dominating the league by himself. He was a cultural phenomenon in the 80s even before he started winning! The Celtics had five or six Hall of famers on it. He was the only All-Star on the team of course he didn't beat them. But he gave them everything they wanted and then some. He never faced Philly in the playoffs with Dr j. He gives the Detroit Pistons credit for making him into who he became. Including Isaiah Thomas. And sour grapes make you take back everything that you have already said that someone tape about him being the greatest of all time? Now as far as I can remember if Kareem Abdul jabbar is the greatest of all time and back in 1997 you were calling Michael Jordan the greatest of all time and Kareem hadn't played any more games since 1989, that makes you a liar one way or the other
In 2015 in the month of Jan, Stephen a said that lebron was the greatest. Go look it up. He changed his views when lebron choose Chris Broussard to do the interview.
@@FanaticForFanta that would make sense except Isaiah Thomas now says that Kareem is the goat. And last I checked, Kareem hasn't played since the 89 -90 season
@@FanaticForFanta once objectivity go out the window, your opinion no longer matters. Because you are in your emotion.

Are you mad because Michael Jordan said something about you that you didn't like
Isiah Thomas never beat Magic Johnson Magic injured his hamstring in Game 2 didn't play Byron Scott didn't play injured and Kareem was like 42 and no where near his prime! Lakers beat them in 1988 with healthy team!

@@Daddy_Savage23 Yeah, where he is still constantly hyped up and talked about in the media and claims to be the Goat and then makes excuses for his losses oh and meanwhile has a top 75 player on his squad and other good pieces there.

Yes, he wasn’t what he was before but he still had more great games than was remembered. He was playing because he was trying to help his team and for the love of the game. There were no championship expectations with those Wizard squads and he didn’t have players as good as AD on them either.

You could make an argument that Kareem is the GOAT overall. He won championships in High School, College, and The pros. What is overall greatness, Winning chip in every league on r being able to see ass good. The only thing Bron will eventually lead is scoring.
Hold on 🤡LeBron lost 2 chips to the Spurs a team that had three HOF players and 3 chips to the Warriors 1 with an injured Kyrie and Kevin Love and 2 times to the greatest team ever assembled when KD joined the warriors that’s 5 championships right there come on man get real. He didn’t have any business playing the spurs at 22 years old pretty much by himself but he was there.
The point that Thomas always refuses to bring up: he himself took 8 seasons to win a championship and then only won 2. Jordan took 7 seasons to win his first and then won 6. Thomas’s dishonesty also comes out in his attempt to bring up the best teams of the 80s (Pistons, Celts, Lakers) that Jordan never beat in the 80s, as if that is relevant to Jordan/Bulls greatness.
They changed the game for you to win - wilt chamberlin said that to Jordan in 96 that’s a fact!!! Let’s be honest the pistons beat everybody in they’re prime in the 80s would’ve went 3 peat in 88-90 they cheated them out that championship in 87-88 season look up the facts bro Zeke was that dude
Where are the Lebron Rules? When did MJ have a solid big in the 80s? Again, this stupid stat, has Russell Westbrook over Larry Bird, over Allen Iverson, over Scottie Pippen…man please
Steven A, make me sick. Jordan has never made any of his teammates better. And five champions is a team sport. He never beat a team by himself. So get off that Jordan shit.
Dr J won 1 title 1983..BIRD WON 3 ..81 ,84, 86. ISAIAH WON 2 89, 90, MAGIC WON 5 WITH KAREEM AS THE GO TO GUY...80 ,82,85 ,87,88 ..MJ WON ZERO...NOTTA 0..UNTIL BIRD RETIRED..
@@donham2540you must be in your feelings cause it’s a different between a team beating him up then beating him in a real game plus it was just Jordan vs yall whole team smh
Well he said magic & Kareem , two great players then Isaiah never been by himself but MJ was alone . Isaiah without dumars & Rodman and laimbeer & Rick never win championship.
Bro what I’m talking about MJ in he’s first 4 seasons or 5 his alone in same time pistons is championship team so Isaiah is not alone otherwise he never win champion …don’t forget Jordan rules. Well Isaiah is great player no adout but his not MJ level sorry…
LeBron James is a better all around player than Michael Jordan? Opinions vary, I don't think so. Isaiah laughing at Jordan getting swept by boston. They swept your a** out of the Eastern conference finals. You beat magic and Kareem when Kareem was 40 and you beat Boston when bird was 35 or 36 with a bad back. Stop telling that lie about the pistons were old. You are only 2 years older than Jordan.
It’s 5 on 5 Jordan couldn’t be 3 places at once but at times he was lol it’s a team game Jordan needed a team to beat a team like Boston lakers pistons but those teams needed they whole squad to beat him he just didn’t have no team. Jordan was killing those team individually but he couldn’t beat a team he was one man he needed a team to beat a team. I would have loved to see his 96 bulls team against that pistons team or that lakers team or Boston team because that young Jordan was unstoppable no one couldn’t see him. But I tell you this it took the whole lakers team pistons team and Boston team to stop him and they still couldn’t if those teams wasn’t so great he would have beat them by himself that’s facts because he was avg 39 to 50 points on those teams every time he played them. Those wins pistons had against him wasn’t blowouts
I didn't.believe isaiah thomas say 🤭🤣 M.J. is The Greatest of All Time. not LeBron 🤭 40k poinst is not a achievement it is a decorations not Championship Title 😂
Look I don't know why people always talking about Isaiah Thomas he played with a competitive spirit example I had people i played with at other highschools when I play football and when I got on the field they wouldn't my friends anymore until the game was over but like I said they played a certain way and if you couldn't handle them then they broke you down I respect the fact that people had to go in and try to figure out how to change gameplay just to get through these bad boys of Detroit cuz they were playing street ball in the NBA at that time.
If Stephen A. Smith is great friends with Isiah Thomas and he loves him then I say that's great. However, I also say who cares. That doesn't change the fact that Isiah has acted like the a-hole that so many people have accused him of being. His actions and some of the things he has said over the years all point to the fact that he has been an a-hole time and time again. By the way, very few people care that you hate Michael Jordan and that in you opinion Lebron is the GOAT. A famous line from a movie years ago says "opinions are like a-holes, everyone has one", and you are one.
Isiah Thomas and NBA industry knows he the biggest legend thats a MJ Hater because of 96 Dream team but in all he needs to blame himself for 91 Lost to Bulls he was the Leader of Detroit but he pulled a snake move by walking off court without shaking the opponent hand bad was just bad sportsmanship. Gotta think great coach Bailey R.I.P was the coach of the Greatest Dream team ever in 96 and he probably didn't want Isiah Thomas to pull snake shyt on Dream team honestly the Coach new his PG IT.. was great but a snake. But do you really believe LeBron better than David Thompson. We know he not better than Goat and stats can't compare what Goat has done that's why the new era NBA Media only can speak about STATS facts it a business and MJ still the highest rating too talk about for the NBA see Goat still making them money been retired 30 years nows.
Lol! last time I checked Isiah Thomas, basketball was and is still a team sport. Lemonade was also a popular drink and is still is... The weighted averages of most basketball statistical metrics for offense and defense can easily prove that between 86-87 and 90-91, not just in 88, Jordan outperformed or crushed those 80s teams and the best players on each of those teams. Now, yeah..."the Chicago Bulls" as a team and organisation did not though By no means, am I a Michael Jordan fanboy or what have you. As a former NY Knicks fan, dude was at the time our Nightmare on Elm Street But, truth be told, stop using those early career "team" playoff losses to manipulate the story at the expense of his own historical greatness.
MJ were a one dimensional player. As far as not being able to score with his left hand. Can BRON score with both hands?. Yes. Hmm!. Stephen A needs to stop it.
Zeke is my Homey and in my book #2 Point Guard in NBA History behind Magic, but my Homey is full of it. Isiah answer and perspective is and always will be rooted in jealously, denial and refusal to accept that MJ and the Bulls surpassed the accomplishments of the Bad Boys Pistons and him personally. There always arrogance and cockiness which made the Bad Boys think they were superior to the Bulls and could never be beaten by them. They were wrong! This crank story about they beat us in the end of our prime is b.s., and if that is the case it's because the Bulls rose higher and better and beat them so badly (4-0 sweep) that they did look old. They were still Prime and they were playing once again in the Eastern Conference Finals. Not old wealth and beat in the 1st or 2nd Round, but still Dominant and back in the Conference Finals and "get knocked the "F" out". 😂 Bulls would go on to win 6 Titles in 8 years compared to The Bad Boys 2 Titles in two years. So, let's just keep it all real. The Bad Boys were revolutionary game changers that physically dominated and intimidated the league like no other franchise ever did for a few years or ever will, and was lead by Isiah and he was one tough bad Mo-Fo... but the Bulls surpassed that and dominared for an "Era" lead by Michael Jordan who is the Goat. That era was so dominant, only that of the 60s & early 70s Boston Celtics surpass it. So dominant, people quickly forgot about the Bad Boys, Isiah and their amazing accomplishments, and that's what has Isiah in so much denial, which actually began immediately after the game 4 embarrassing sweep and loss to MJ and the Bulls and continues to today.
Thing is Jordan didn't have teammates in the 80s . And Pistons already had Hall of famers vs a 20-23 year old .

Now, yeah..."the Chicago Bulls" as a team and organisation did not though
By no means, am I a Michael Jordan fanboy or what have you. As a former NY Knicks fan, dude was at the time our Nightmare on Elm Street
But, truth be told, stop using those early career "team" playoff losses to manipulate the story at the expense of his own historical greatness.
He sounds salty and jealous. Who cares about the 80s. He played on a sorry team
😂😂
MJ were a one dimensional player. As far as not being able to score with his left hand. Can BRON score with both hands?. Yes. Hmm!. Stephen A needs to stop it.
LBJ is the GOAT as of noe. How many active or non-active pro-basketball players have to let Stephen A know what's up?.
Zeke is my Homey and in my book #2 Point Guard in NBA History behind Magic, but my Homey is full of it. Isiah answer and perspective is and always will be rooted in jealously, denial and refusal to accept that MJ and the Bulls surpassed the accomplishments of the Bad Boys Pistons and him personally. There always arrogance and cockiness which made the Bad Boys think they were superior to the Bulls and could never be beaten by them. They were wrong! This crank story about they beat us in the end of our prime is b.s., and if that is the case it's because the Bulls rose higher and better and beat them so badly (4-0 sweep) that they did look old. They were still Prime and they were playing once again in the Eastern Conference Finals. Not old wealth and beat in the 1st or 2nd Round, but still Dominant and back in the Conference Finals and "get knocked the "F" out". 😂 Bulls would go on to win 6 Titles in 8 years compared to The Bad Boys 2 Titles in two years. So, let's just keep it all real. The Bad Boys were revolutionary game changers that physically dominated and intimidated the league like no other franchise ever did for a few years or ever will, and was lead by Isiah and he was one tough bad Mo-Fo... but the Bulls surpassed that and dominared for an "Era" lead by Michael Jordan who is the Goat. That era was so dominant, only that of the 60s & early 70s Boston Celtics surpass it. So dominant, people quickly forgot about the Bad Boys, Isiah and their amazing accomplishments, and that's what has Isiah in so much denial, which actually began immediately after the game 4 embarrassing sweep and loss to MJ and the Bulls and continues to today.
