      Danny Green Is A BRICK you’re just supporting his point. Jordan is compared to everyone who has an argument for GOAT. In this era, Lebron is just the leading candidate to the GOAT convo. Plus this video is about GOAT so it has a lot of things to do with lebron and Jordan.

      Danny Green Is A BRICK “Typically” the top two all time players amongst fans, media and other basketball watchers, is argued between Jordan and Lebron. Therefore it makes sense that somebody would mention the name Lebron in a Jordan video. People always mention Bird when they talk about Magic. Admittedly for different reasons, as they played each other, but they are mentioned together nonetheless. The fans and media will compare MJ and LBJ for talent reasons etc. Don’t blame me for simply explaining the situation. I’m literally saying it how it is

      My go-to argument against Bronsexuals on Twitter now (besides 6-0, 3-6) is Jordan's stretch playing at PG under Doug Collins. I never seen that broken down like Jonny does here and I'm amazed by that. If Jordan played the game like LeBron, Westbrook, etc. plays the game now he'd easily have 3-5 year stretches averaging a triple double WITH 30+ points a game.

Very well done...CHECKMATE!!!

    What a fantastic breakdown. The stat about MJ's rookie year having identical numbers to Kobe's MVP year is ASTOUNDING. I will say this as well. MJ NEVER backed down. He never got lost in the bright lights of the big stage. Lebron is my 2nd favorite player of all time. I rooted for him his entire career and I still root for Lebron. He is a great human being. And a great role model. But Lebron had moments where he didn't show up even though he was by far the most talented player on the floor. I'm not questioning his heart but it's undeniable that he had moments where he over-thought and under-played. Jordan never, not even once, didn't leave it all on the court. NOBODY matched his drive. NOBODY matched his heart. And NOBODY beat him on the biggest stage.

      That's bullshit, first of all I want to say that I think Jordan is the GOAT and there's no discussion there. The problem I have is that joke of a point he was making with the kobe MVP Stat, a few minutes before he was talking about how stats can't paint the picture completely regarding how dominant you game actually was or is because there are factors that can't be taken into account from one generation to another. For example (and I hope he likes this) here's wilts rookie stats 37.6ppg 27rb 2.3ass and here's MJs 1998 MVP season 28. 7ppg 5.8rb 3.5ass, you see the problem with the picture you're trying to paint? + his own rookie stats were better than his MVP season, that doesn't make him a better player. This is the same thing that LeBron fans who seem to not understand that these are just stats (which are good indicators but not everything) try to do to prove his point.

      The one fact that I learned in this video which proves Jordan's dominance over LeBron once and for all, was his stent as the point guard in the late '80s. Think about it. The guy gets like 15 triple doubles in 24 games. And he averages over 30 points a game while doing this. That's insane! If he was orchestrating the offense like LeBron did for his whole career, Michael Jordan might have averaged a triple double for his career.

      One of the other knocks about Jordan's titles is "he beat old teams", yet that same logic is never used towards LeBron. So if Jordan's first title against the Lakers is downgraded because they're "an old team", then shouldn't LeBron and the Heat beating the Celtics get downgraded since the Celtics were an old team as well? Shouldn't his loss to the Mavs be considered even worse since the Mavs were the older team(oldest in the league that season, in fact)? What about the loss to the 2014 Spurs since the Spurs were the older team as well? If Jordan beating older teams is considered bad, then shouldn't losing to the older team be worse?

    • @davidmartinez52420
      @davidmartinez52420 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      The whole "Jordan only beat older teams" is overplayed anyway. The Bulls were the younger team in all of the first 3peat and the older team in all of the second 3peat. In the first 3peat, the only age gap of significance was to the Lakers. Against the Blazers and Suns, it was such a minute difference that they might as well have been the same age. It's also funny how they'll call Stockton and Malone "old as hell" when Stockton was only 1 year older than Jordan and Malone was the same age(if you wanna get technical, Jordan's birthday is 5 months before Malone's so he's technically older). LeBron fans love grasping at straws to find any edge to give LeBron over Jordan, and that's exactly how you know that Jordan is the GOAT.

      True, and it is not even close. People can argue all they want about who the best is: Wilt , Kareem, Kobe, Lebron, Magic, Bird, Robinson, they are all bias...overall statistical analysis of players' stats show that he is the best by a wide margin, not even close. For example: Kobe's highest shooting percentage is equivalent to MJ lowest shooting percentage (not including his wizards years), highest PER of any player that ever existed, averaged nearly 40-points a game in the Finals (against the the second best team in the NBA) with the hand-check rule intact, etc...
      Anybody has the balls and the brain to conduct a statistical analysis using MJ numbers against other players?
      The media is full of Jews telling the sport commentators what to say, they don't even know basketball as much as fans...Look at 2007 for example, no one on ESPN or any other media outlets predicted the warriors would beat the mavericks, yet almost every NBA fans that year were certain it would happen, and it did.

    Great job! I have made the same arguments for MJ over the years. Just think of this fact alone... he has 6 finals MVP awards which is the highest honor an NBA player can get. It not only shows he won a championship, it also means he was the main reason why. Who's in second place with that award? Shaq, LeBron, Magic and Duncan who all have 3. HALF of what MJ has! That alone makes him the GOAT but there is so much more like his unique ability to raise the level of his game at will. Look at the Jeff Van Gundy game, the George Karl game, the game where Jerry Stackhouse had been talking trash about Jordan prior to it. He scorched everyone and anyone who would badmouth him and was the only player that people were literally afraid to trash talk! He could just turn up the jets any time he wanted to and I don't know of another player who had that ability to that extent. He could also raise parts of his game at will while still maintaining his regular stats. Look at the 1991 finals where he averaged 11.4 assists to offset Magic Johnson, the 1992 finals where he hit a record breaking 6 three's in a half when they said that Clyde Drexler was a better 3 point shooter, the 1993 finals when Charles Barkley was the league MVP and was putting up crazy scoring numbers in the playoffs so MJ averaged 41 against him in the finals! The list goes on and on. That man was something special. GOAT!

Well, this is a bad argument for two reasons: 1st, the Bulls were really the best team, but one of the reasons for that was ... Jordan himself; and 2nd, being in the finals with the best team does not guarantee victory. LeBron made four finals with the best team and still lost two of them.

I would run everyday (every single day, for months), worked 80 hour weeks (and paid off student debt) - I was making the same amount of money as my peers do now 10 years later, and made killer friends and stories I can't share on a public forum.
