Am I trippin or do people not know that in 2001 the NBA implemented the defensive 3 second rule making it easier for players to score at the rim. That’s part of the reason why players say Jordan would average 40 or 50 in todays game. But regardless congrats to lebron for being an iron man and taking care of his body to be able to play at a high level for so long. Jordan is still the goat though, no debate.
@@diskid3644 Wilt averaged 30ppg regular season, 22ppg in the playoffs and 18ppg in the finals. He also went from an abysmal 50% FTs to 37% in the finals. I'm sure Wilt could average over 40 today but he would still be unplayable in the crunch. And MJ was able to shoot the 3 if he wanted to. It just wasn't his focus. Wilt's blocking would make a difference on D though !
In 20 years time, he also doubled his numbers for divisional & finals defeats. For the sake of Finals appearances, team MJ never gave up! These continued goat arguments needed to end several years ago. LeTravel James.
@@duypham76 but in a league with 10 teams and a scoring pacing higher than today. The top 10 all time rebound averages are all from Wilt's era, because guys shot faster than today and missed more so hell lotta more shots and rebounds. Wilt averaged 30 for his career in regular season and 22 in the playoffs and 18ppg in the finals. Why ? Cos that's when they met good teams. Plus Wilt couldn't make FTs like at all 37% in the finals, even worse than the 50% regular season. He was not a big game player, rather a stat monster, like the 20K women he claimed to have slept with...
If anyone says rings don’t matter, they cannot be taken seriously in this debate. They absolutely matter. If Lebron had the rings, they would certainly matter. Give me a break.
LeBron not having that in his favor is the only reason they say they don't matter. In fact, they eliminate everything from the equation that doesn't favor LeBron. It's basically just individual longevity stats now. Funny that titles don't matter because it's a team sport, yet individual stats irrespective of impact on team success in a team sport does.
The nba was easier back then because lack of skill. Now you have players who can switch onto everybody and defend and shoot. Which means lebron plays in a era where it’s harder to win
His parents said that nobody in their immediate families, on both sides, got over 5'11 tall for four generations. His father was 5'9 and his mother is 5'4. He grew to 6'6 and 200 lbs with strength, speed and agility, every gift he needed. Perfect size for his position. That's GOD. He was destined to be the goat. 😅✊🏿
@@cedricraywilliams Jordan never lost with a allstar teammate Lebron lost with wade bosh Kyrie love davis Westbrook Ingram dlo Russell ect See the difference? Go sit down kid U never saw Jordan play live so why are u talking about something u never saw? Are u that d umb? I will never speak on something I never saw
I'm thankfully in from Chicago and was a Bulls fan in the '90s... So, people might say I'm obviously biased, but facts are still facts, numbers are still numbers. Not only is defense almost non existent in today's NBA compared to how it was played in the 90s, clearly making it easier to score today, but James has been playing for 20 years.... Yet, Jordan still has more MVPs, more scoring titles, more defensive teams, a higher point per game average, a higher steals per game average, an identical block per game average even though James is a much larger man, and Jordan was clearly a much better clutch player. James is also never won defensive player of the year where Jordan has, and James leads the NBA in having the highest turnovers in history. I'm not sure how somebody can consider him the GOAT or even in the GOAT debate when he's played for five more years in Jordan, has not surpassed him in any above mentioned stats, and has a highest turnovers of any basketball player in NBA history. That doesn't make any sense. That is not a complete player. That is a player that clearly has flaws. The only thing you can really say that might favor James is the fact that he is now the all-time leading scorer. Again though, he's been playing for 20 years, has amazing longevity, and has put up very steady numbers his entire career. Just because you've maintained very steady stats, have played for years, and I've taken care of your body, does not make you a GOAT in an sport. That means have great longevity and have maintained steady numbers. That's about it.

If u just look at jordan playing its poetry in motion. The man is smooth and is effortless. Would not pay to see LBJ play. But will pay my last dollar to see mj. Look at those moves and dunks!! Awesome
Only a small minority of Jordan fans have rings as the sole factor, but LeBron fans act like it's all of us no matter how many of us make our arguments without bringing up rings until the end if at all.
It’s not even about the rings, it’s HOW he got those rings. 2 Three-peats, I don’t think people realizes how hard it is to even win a championship back to back. Jordan won back to back to back 2 separate times lol. Dude is the goat
MJ was 9 time def 1st team while being a scoring champion that same year.. the only other player to do that was Kobe at only 2.. put that into perspective.. MJ was the best two way player ever.. which is another big reason MJ is 🐐
Acting like synonymous was this groundbreaking high IQ perfect word to describe this situation right here...he comes of as a fool that just runs his mouth.
Michael Jordan became bigger than basketball after his second three-peat in the 90s. With five regular-season MVPs (only Abdul-Jabbar has won more, with six), six Finals MVPs (NBA record), and three NBA All-Star Game MVPs, Jordan is the most decorated player in NBA history. And the impact of Jordan is stamped in nba for ever
Still, awards are awarded by other people. I prefer the eye test. Look at him playing, look at him in clutch situations...and you get the same result. MJ is the GOAT.
The fact that lebron (at age 38) is scoring more and putting up better numbers these last 2 years than when he was younger and in his Prime and Peak... says all you need to know about how ridiculously EASY it is to put up stats in this NO DEFENSE league.
It’s called PEDS, allegedly. Everyone that got caught with PEDS, got better with age. Bonds, McGuire etc. no one gets better with age. When you see it, bets believe it’s aided feats of strength and endurance and not purely human as history shows. Allegedly.
another one that gets me is "lebrons the greatest scorer of all time now" really??? he has one scoring title and averages 27... jordan has 10 scoring titles and averaged 30
He literally grew up with Bron, they are friends going back to their AAU days. Hes always been bias as hell regarding Lebron, he doesn't even try to hide it.
LeBron doesn't even transend his own Era. Curry has had more of an impact on today's game than LeBron. Jordan had no equal in his Era. He was the NBA, and nobody disputed that.
Imagine watching him do it in a whole game... people only watch the highlights when they could watch whole games if they didn't grow up in that era! If they did they'd NEVER choose LeBron over MJ!
@@C_71 nah, highlights don't show the shots missed. i watched mj, and i still watch lebron. mj took more shots, but he also missed more shots. check the career stats, lebron is 50% and mj 49% FG. per 1k shots taken, bron will have more pts. mj had less than 1% higher winning %, so per 1k games played, mj won less than 10 more games than lebron (all most anyone will argue mj's teams were better, yet statistically they r about as close to even as you can get). i feel like they're both the best of the era they play(ed) in.
@@gggyy7104 Well most Jordan fanboys have trouble with the basic tenements of the English language. Probably spent too much time watching Space Jam 1 instead of doing their English homework.

"It means one and the same" - Lol, one and the same means one figure and another figure turn out to be the same person (like a best player on the team also being the coach of that same team). The star and the coach are "one and the same". What he should've said is that synonymous means "two things are closely associated with one another and share similar meanings". lmao, what a buffoon
The one thing no one seems to mention that is the biggest difference between Jordan and LeBron is the killer instinct. Jordan simply refused to lose, the harder things got the higher he seemed to rise. LeBron just makes excuses and at times seems to fade into the nether.
I love jordan, especially, because I was 12 in 98. Having grown up and lived a little longer has made appreciate every stage of nba history even the ones that came before my time. Bill russell and wilt made it a league in the 60s. The 70s is the dark era where the game almost disappeared because cocaine use is the legacy of the 70s. But bird and magic made the game national and border line continental. Jordan made it global. And kobe and lebron contributed a little more to make the nba close to soccer (soccer is still world's ahead) but basketball is close to a universal game. Jordan is the greatest ever and maybe the most important piece because no player was easier to market as Jordan.
I love his logic of saying "ITS A TEAM SPORT" so championships dont matter that much. Which.....it takes a TEAM to do. But somehow individual scoring record matters in a TEAM SPORT?!!?
No Individuals won rings by themselves, but individuals win scoring titles, but you need more than one scorer for team success, 60 pts from Big 3 is way better than 30 pts from one guy.
Lebron played with more all stars than jordan and had to go to Miami to learn how to win. Jordan made his teammates better, bron needs his teammates to make him look good
@@bmla88 You're right, but MJ played with more guys who already had rings. Championship experience is better than All Star experience, just ask Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing and Allen Iverson. Think about it, Pippen was with MJ for every ring (i'm too lazy to see how many Rodman, Kerr, Kukoc, Horace Grant, Ron Harper, and others). Yes, LBJ went to Miami and Coach Riley stepped in and taught him how to win (but not right away). MJ had Phil Jackson teach him how to win (so did Kobe) Kobe. In fact, MJ had Phil and Pippen for all 6 titles.
@@gonzielovesspanish8989 Pippen, Jackson and the rest won together. Pippen and Jackson were both unproven coach and players. SCottie being a rookie coming to the bulls and jackson a rookie coach they won and built it together while LBJ had established superstars on the teams he jumped ship to.
Funny thing is, Jordan hitting the GAME WINNING shot in his freshman year to give NC a Title is not mentioned a lot because of his NBA Standards. But to me, that shot shows the glimpse of what's to come
I watched that game live on TV. I didn't remember who that freshman was who hit the shot until years later and was shocked to hear it was Michael Jordan! That was one of the great finals games ever.
Regular season stats are a good way to measure how great a player is. But I always say they are just regular. The post season is where legends are made. The playoffs and especially the Finals because that’s where the most pressure is. Making it to 10 straight finals is good. But winning 6 finals in 8 yrs, and those are 2 threepeats, and being MVP in all 6 finals!!! That’s legendary dude!
MJ has the better regular season stats, playoff and NBA Finals stats. LeBron will win a couple categories like FG% in a small ball Era, but MJ has better stats in more categories. Not close
People forget than Jordan’s bulls played against Lakers with Shaq, Kobe, Eddie jones, fisher, nick vanexel, etc. That lakers team was so loaded and jordan dominated them. Check out old footage, it’s amazing!!
I bet MJ fans would brag about MJ being the All Time Leading Scorer if he did that. Be always bringing up he scored 3 more ppg taking 3 more shots per game, but just couldn't keep playing because the league was so much more physical and MJ only weighed like 200 lbs. Booo Hooo!!!
@@gonzielovesspanish8989 Being 6'6 and 200 lbs. That's the ideal height and weight for a shooting guard. I love the fact that MJ won 10 Scoring Titles and LeBron won just 1 single Title - BOOM!!!!

At 11:21 Perkins asks -- "you know why lebron is able to average 30 right now at the age of 38?" Yes, I know why = because the NBA has BANNED DEFENSE!!! It's no coincidence that he has scored more and put-up better numbers these past 2 years than when he was younger and in his Prime and Peak!! He isn't the only one either. When teams are giving up over 140 points in Regulation, Stats will follow!!
Yeah, aften seeing how inflated the scoring state is for the last decade, the NBA is only a shadow of itself. The same phenomenon occurred on other sports.
I hate the "bron needs help" argument from bron fans. 1998 Jordan won with a hurt Pippen and the oldest team in the league. You think Bron even sniffs a ring with Dwade or kyrie hurt?
Well, thats an obvious fact. But it seems that some people dont think that way. They say "MJ never won without pipen!". For me, is like saying that he didnt won without a basketball...is much more meaningfull to say pipen never won without MJ, cause, as everyone knows, MJ was there and the bulls won. MJ left, they didnt won. MJ returns, and they win again. I mean, is like 1+1=2, but some people seems to not know that.

@Craig and what happened once he got some help aka scottie pippen lebron got sweep more than once in the finals so what is your point plus jordan never got outplayed in the finals
What always get me is some people are saying when he passes Kareem in scoring that would make him the GOAT, but most people don't even consider Kareem the GOAT and he has six rings and James has four (three really).
The only argument Lebron fans have is 1) He got bounced out the NBA playoffs in the 80s, nevermind Boston had 5 HOFers and Detroit had 4. 2) He needed Pippen to win. The only All Star who didn’t need another All Star was Kawhi and Dirk. KD & Klay were hurt in that Toronto/GS Finals, so it was just Steph and Triple Single Draymond. Why did Dirk not need another All Star and led Dallas back from 2-0 in 2011? Lebron’s epic meltdown is why. 3) Lebron played in a more skilled era. Yet, the defense is some of the worse ever, especially big men and shotblocking. Anyone who has seen elite playground ball, knows it’s 75% offense, 25% defense. This is almost what the modern NBA has devolved to.
my problem is that since LBJ has passed kareem now that is all his fans will see.... and since his fans cant think for themselves if hes the all time leading nba scorer he must be the best.... when in reality he only has 1 scoring title and averages 27ppg..... last time i checked 10 scoring titles is better than 1 and 30ppg is more than 27ppg but I know thats extremely difficult to figure out for ppl who cant make change for 1$
LBJ - massive respect on achieving a statistical record, however, that is of no meaning when your team can't put together some wins to qualify for the play-offs. I'm surprised that the media is not focusing on the fact that the king could not take his team to the finish line. Again respect for his career achievements, though he's still a long way to catch up with MJ and on current form doesn't look like he would be anywhere close to the real milestone

The LBJ fans don't realize that MJ even without the Rings still accomplished and achieved more than LBJ. MJ has more individual achievements than LBJ. And yeah MJ lead his team in a team sport to 6 rings no game 7 lol
Why haven't Carl Malone, Ewing, Stockton, Barkley and others greats never won a title? MICHAEL JORDAN. Everybody who was decent beat lebron to win a title

@@melvynsngltn27 that was his avg for the entire series against the spurs in 2007 go look it up most of those games was close and lebron was shut down because he didn't have a jump shot, and as far as magic it doesn't matter if it was one game he did it as a rookie and got the job done and was the mvp no excuses!!!

Im just wondering, how will Lebron handle Shawn Kemp if ever he faced that same Sonics team. Kemp was unstoppable at that time. The only reason they can't beat the Bulls is because of the guy called "The Worm," who rebounds relentlessly.
I really don't think some of those commentators, like Perk or other LBJ supporters, should be allowed to speak their biased thoughts on air. They don't even sound like they watched MJ properly which should disqualify them as analysts on TV. Perkins just sounds dumb tbh. I just don't understand how lebron has the greatest career. just mindless. I mean would you honestly have Lebron's career or MJ's career with more rings, awards? To me it's no-brainer
Putting Lebron James in an era were there are guys like Dennis Rodman, Pippen, Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, Dekimbe Motumbo, Shawn Kemp, Tim Duncan, Derrick Coleman, Clifford Robinson, Chris Webber, Larry Johnson, and Vin Baker, Shaquille O'neal. With this people guarding you and the way the game was played and officiated, It would be a long day each game for Lebron but for Michael Jordan it will be just another day in the office.
Not to mention Charles Oakley, Anthony Mason, Xavier McDaniels, Rick Mahorn. So many other physical players that would have made LBJ life just a little more difficult.
What people don’t seem to understand is that Lebron grew the nba with the help of social media and advanced cable tv. Mike never had social media and even regular cable wasn’t widespread.
Bill Russell had the greatest career ever if winning is important anymore. Times have changed. We judged greatness on team success, now no one cares about how your team does because if u lose they will say your team is trash instead of the best player taking accountability. Being the best now means throw everyone under the bus to save your own legacy if u have to.
Bill Russel was a great player but it was only 8 - 14 teams during his playing days in the NBA and no free agency, so he kept his entire team for that run.

U never saw Jordan play live so why are u talking about something u never saw?
Are u that d umb?
I will never speak on something I never saw
As a Utah jazz fan.
I still have to say that Mike is easily the best (it was like watching a cat playing with mice)
Yeah, literally. He's called the "Black Cat" for a reason. Dude moved with agility and swiftness.
As a Knick fan who disliked MJ I would agree he is the greatest to lace up sneakers.
I'm thankfully in from Chicago and was a Bulls fan in the '90s... So, people might say I'm obviously biased, but facts are still facts, numbers are still numbers.
Not only is defense almost non existent in today's NBA compared to how it was played in the 90s, clearly making it easier to score today, but James has been playing for 20 years.... Yet, Jordan still has more MVPs, more scoring titles, more defensive teams, a higher point per game average, a higher steals per game average, an identical block per game average even though James is a much larger man, and Jordan was clearly a much better clutch player. James is also never won defensive player of the year where Jordan has, and James leads the NBA in having the highest turnovers in history.
I'm not sure how somebody can consider him the GOAT or even in the GOAT debate when he's played for five more years in Jordan, has not surpassed him in any above mentioned stats, and has a highest turnovers of any basketball player in NBA history. That doesn't make any sense. That is not a complete player. That is a player that clearly has flaws. The only thing you can really say that might favor James is the fact that he is now the all-time leading scorer. Again though, he's been playing for 20 years, has amazing longevity, and has put up very steady numbers his entire career. Just because you've maintained very steady stats, have played for years, and I've taken care of your body, does not make you a GOAT in an sport. That means have great longevity and have maintained steady numbers. That's about it.

It's due to idiots like Skip Bayless who mindlessly repeat "6 for 6 in the final with 6 mvps " without mentioning anything else.

AMEN!!!!
Great argument. Your emotional bias over how watching Jordan makes you feel is proof that he is a better NBA basketball player than LeBron.
Michael Jordan became bigger than basketball after his second three-peat in the 90s. With five regular-season MVPs (only Abdul-Jabbar has won more, with six), six Finals MVPs (NBA record), and three NBA All-Star Game MVPs, Jordan is the most decorated player in NBA history. And the impact of Jordan is stamped in nba for ever
Still, awards are awarded by other people. I prefer the eye test. Look at him playing, look at him in clutch situations...and you get the same result. MJ is the GOAT.

Jordan made basketball popular and basketball made LeBron popular
This is why Mj will always be GOAT
I love jordan, especially, because I was 12 in 98. Having grown up and lived a little longer has made appreciate every stage of nba history even the ones that came before my time. Bill russell and wilt made it a league in the 60s. The 70s is the dark era where the game almost disappeared because cocaine use is the legacy of the 70s. But bird and magic made the game national and border line continental. Jordan made it global. And kobe and lebron contributed a little more to make the nba close to soccer (soccer is still world's ahead) but basketball is close to a universal game. Jordan is the greatest ever and maybe the most important piece because no player was easier to market as Jordan.

Clearly his bias took over whatever logic he has in his brain.
No Individuals won rings by themselves, but individuals win scoring titles, but you need more than one scorer for team success, 60 pts from Big 3 is way better than 30 pts from one guy.
Lebron played with more all stars than jordan and had to go to Miami to learn how to win. Jordan made his teammates better, bron needs his teammates to make him look good
@@bmla88 You're right, but MJ played with more guys who already had rings. Championship experience is better than All Star experience, just ask Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing and Allen Iverson. Think about it, Pippen was with MJ for every ring (i'm too lazy to see how many Rodman, Kerr, Kukoc, Horace Grant, Ron Harper, and others). Yes, LBJ went to Miami and Coach Riley stepped in and taught him how to win (but not right away). MJ had Phil Jackson teach him how to win (so did Kobe) Kobe. In fact, MJ had Phil and Pippen for all 6 titles.
@@gonzielovesspanish8989 Pippen, Jackson and the rest won together. Pippen and Jackson were both unproven coach and players. SCottie being a rookie coming to the bulls and jackson a rookie coach they won and built it together while LBJ had established superstars on the teams he jumped ship to.
Funny thing is, Jordan hitting the GAME WINNING shot in his freshman year to give NC a Title is not mentioned a lot because of his NBA Standards. But to me, that shot shows the glimpse of what's to come
I watched that game live on TV. I didn't remember who that freshman was who hit the shot until years later and was shocked to hear it was Michael Jordan! That was one of the great finals games ever.
Of course, rings don't matter when you can't win as many as MJ even though you've tried to create a superteam wherever you've gone.

In the last year, he learned the word synonymous 😂😂😂 Jock through and through
The only argument Lebron fans have is 1) He got bounced out the NBA playoffs in the 80s, nevermind Boston had 5 HOFers and Detroit had 4.
2) He needed Pippen to win. The only All Star who didn’t need another All Star was Kawhi and Dirk. KD & Klay were hurt in that Toronto/GS Finals, so it was just Steph and Triple Single Draymond. Why did Dirk not need another All Star and led Dallas back from 2-0 in 2011? Lebron’s epic meltdown is why.
3) Lebron played in a more skilled era. Yet, the defense is some of the worse ever, especially big men and shotblocking. Anyone who has seen elite playground ball, knows it’s 75% offense, 25% defense. This is almost what the modern NBA has devolved to.
my problem is that since LBJ has passed kareem now that is all his fans will see.... and since his fans cant think for themselves if hes the all time leading nba scorer he must be the best.... when in reality he only has 1 scoring title and averages 27ppg..... last time i checked 10 scoring titles is better than 1 and 30ppg is more than 27ppg but I know thats extremely difficult to figure out for ppl who cant make change for 1$

And MJ lost to a better team than Orlando, and his team was worse than what Bron had when he lost to Orlando. Lebron fans are constantly moving the goalposts, and are never consistent.
@@mattonkeyz341 bro i ain't even a lebron fan, MJ is easily the goat. I'm just giving an objective take on that. You can lose while playing great, it's possible lol.
@@paranoia_xo This is exactly my point. You can play great and lose, but Lebron fans never ever say that about Mike, they use that to attempt to tarnish his legacy. Sorry I thought that included you. My apologies.
Ironically, they're discussing this on MJ day lol For hockey fans out there, LeBron is like Mark Messier. One of the best players to play but longevity and weaker defensive league helped his stats.
This man really had a whole prologue for the word “synonymous.”
"Perkins" is now synonymous with "idiot"
Dude Jordan is lucky social media is not available in his time ..if it is... 😂😂😂
MJ forever.
10 scoring titles. 9 1st all NBA defensive team. AaaaanD, HE RETURNED TWICE! Mike possibly would have won 8 straight in the modern NBA. Perk is the time of guy Jordan would've POSTERIZED!
MJ had a worldwide impact when he played ... even to this day with his brand ! Imagine if he played today ... with the social medias covering everything or if we had social medias back then. Shit would go crazier than what it was
Man, do you know how brauds would’ve tried sleep wit that man in the process ✌🏿
Fellas the only way to win a game is to score the most points. This makes the scoring champion the G.O.A.T........
"Rings don't matter." Damn the bar sure has shifted in the last 10 years...
Didn't even mention those dunk contest wins💯
The LBJ fans don't realize that MJ even without the Rings still accomplished and achieved more than LBJ. MJ has more individual achievements than LBJ. And yeah MJ lead his team in a team sport to 6 rings no game 7 lol
Perk: Stat padding is better than championship rings.
Why haven't Carl Malone, Ewing, Stockton, Barkley and others greats never won a title? MICHAEL JORDAN. Everybody who was decent beat lebron to win a title
That is damning. If a player won the gap in accolades between MJ and LeBron, the would be a certified top 15 player of all time looking at those alone, top 10 if you rate man like Steph and KD highly.
I don't understand why people talk about 2007 championship against the spurs , lebron was awful, 22 ppg 34 percent from the field and 20 percent from the 3 and 5 turnovers, yea he was 22 but magic was a rookie at 20 years old and lead his team playing center when kareem got hurt and won a championship without their best player
and Dwayne wade essentially managed to overcome adversity a year prior unlike LeBron !!!!!!
That was 1 game and LA was way better than Cleveland was
@@melvynsngltn27 that was his avg for the entire series against the spurs in 2007 go look it up most of those games was close and lebron was shut down because he didn't have a jump shot, and as far as magic it doesn't matter if it was one game he did it as a rookie and got the job done and was the mvp no excuses!!!
@Eazy Money Mane first off Magic Johnson is my favorite player ever. Secondly I don't like LeBron. Yet gave Cleveland a chance in those finals. Even if he played well they still would of got manhandled.
@@melvynsngltn27 you are being emotional speaking about who you like and my favorite player is I don't care about that, lebron avg 22pts shooting 35percent from the field, 7 rebounds 6.8assists, 6turnovers a game shooting 20percent from 3 and 69percent from the free throw line, game one 103 to 92, game 2, 95to 86, game 3 was 72 to 75, and game 4 was 82 to 83 all those games was winnable I watched the series, greg popvich played the same strategy in 07,13,14 clogg the paint and make lebron shot his jump shot that's why the cavs loss if lebron shot a lil better they wouldn't have gotten swept and probably could have won get out of you're feelings and go look at the games and the stats
Im just wondering, how will Lebron handle Shawn Kemp if ever he faced that same Sonics team. Kemp was unstoppable at that time. The only reason they can't beat the Bulls is because of the guy called "The Worm," who rebounds relentlessly.
The rainman!
@@billpogi23 Reign Man bro. Hehe
I really don't think some of those commentators, like Perk or other LBJ supporters, should be allowed to speak their biased thoughts on air. They don't even sound like they watched MJ properly which should disqualify them as analysts on TV. Perkins just sounds dumb tbh. I just don't understand how lebron has the greatest career. just mindless. I mean would you honestly have Lebron's career or MJ's career with more rings, awards? To me it's no-brainer
Putting Lebron James in an era were there are guys like Dennis Rodman, Pippen, Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, Dekimbe Motumbo, Shawn Kemp, Tim Duncan, Derrick Coleman, Clifford Robinson, Chris Webber, Larry Johnson, and Vin Baker, Shaquille O'neal. With this people guarding you and the way the game was played and officiated, It would be a long day each game for Lebron but for Michael Jordan it will be just another day in the office.
Not to mention Charles Oakley, Anthony Mason, Xavier McDaniels, Rick Mahorn. So many other physical players that would have made LBJ life just a little more difficult.
Imagine the only championship that lebron brought to the lakers was during the bubble😂
and imagine if he did not join wade and bosh in miami..🤷
What people don’t seem to understand is that Lebron grew the nba with the help of social media and advanced cable tv. Mike never had social media and even regular cable wasn’t widespread.
If someone says rings don't matter then LeBron is padding stats.
Did he say he came up with the word synonymous? Dude sound slow af
I love your work brother. Great analysis and critique of two great players.
Kareem had a better longevity. He was competing for titles at 41. Lebron is done competing for titles.
Bill Russell had the greatest career ever if winning is important anymore. Times have changed. We judged greatness on team success, now no one cares about how your team does because if u lose they will say your team is trash instead of the best player taking accountability. Being the best now means throw everyone under the bus to save your own legacy if u have to.
Yea bro. Society has turned into trolling and faking your own knowledge levels. History books don't matter.. facts are twisted or ignored.
@@KaineTremaine yeah. Jordan got his props for the 3peat. No one cared about his stats lol
@@Quazey8 Jordan has the better stats regular season, playoffs and NBA Finals.
If LeBron had better stats, they'd get into every conversation
jordans accolades outside of championships far surpasses Lebron
Bill Russel was a great player but it was only 8 - 14 teams during his playing days in the NBA and no free agency, so he kept his entire team for that run.
It took Perkins years to learn that one new word.
