None of you guys respectfully are old enough to remember the MJ hate before they started winning chips. Winning and repeatedly winning cures everything
Exactly, not to mention the media running with the rumor that Jordan got his dad killed. THey were acting like Mike was done after the 95 loss to Orlando. None of them know about Tragic Magic? Magic was getting booed in LA. The Celtics might have been the 2nd most hated team behind the Bad Boys. I swear people want to rewrite narratives to make it seem like its been so unfair to LeBron and he's the only one who gets hate or pressure. GTFOH And he's talking about game winners-they have iconic game winners in THE FINALS. LeBron was on the floor watching his teammates hit the biggest Finals game winners/clutch shots.
@derrikoates2318 I'm a Bad Boy Pistons fan but seen all the players from Dr J to Jordan to Lebron to Wemby.... and Jordan is hands down the best player I've ever seen 💯... and I'm a Player, coach, train shooting mechanics, etc... Jordan is better than everybody. Not even a real debate
Gil is right about just hearing MJ's name back in the day. I graduated HS in 1990, got Sports Illustrated delivered weekly to my mailbox throughout the 80s and 90s. Even reading "Michael Jordan" in print within the SI articles boosted your mood. For hoop heads, the closest thing is probably the psychological phenomenon that the Beatles or Elvis had on teenage girls. I actuality saw MJ play in a preseason game against the Wizards for my 18th birthday in 1989. Even that environment was electric. We were right behind the Bulls bench. Other than some pretty lady who kept trying to get Scottie Pippen's attention, all eyes were on Jordan. If he turned and smiled toward your section hundreds of people lit up. You could feel the energy in the air shift every time he touched the ball.
But he was wrong about Journalist gettting fired if the criticized MJ! I don't remember Sam Smith getting fired from the Chicago Tribune after he wrote the Jordan Rules
@@sonnywoods6846 Yeah, you're right. Journalists who critiqued MJ for gambling during the '93 playoffs against the Knicks were also not fired. In general, I do think MJ held sway over the media. They swooned over him in the mid- to late-80s and early 90s. To build off of Gil's point, it's partly the media landscape has changed, but it's mostly that Jordan was photogenic, had a winning smile, could speak effortlessly and engagingly in interviews and commercials, and he was visually majestic on the basketball court. He had God-given gifts that added up to a marketing dream right when Bird and Magic were on the tail end of their careers. It was a perfect storm. So, as far as the media goes: It was like the Babe Ruth phenomenon. The media wrote glorious stories touting the heroics of the supernatural athlete to sell more papers, and all the athlete had to do was keep performing godlike feats in their sport. Everybody wins. Jordan sold newspapers and magazines, so journalists were keen on putting him on their cover. To your point: MJ soured on SI when they wrote that one "Bag It, Michael!" piece about his struggles in baseball and would not speak to them for years, so there is some basis to Gil's assertion, but he was exaggerating.
You right bro!!!! If you grew up late 80’s and 90’s it was electrifying to see him play. He created a blueprint they are all following. Kobe without a Jordan Blueprint is just another good basketball player… He copied every move 😂 WTF.
One book. Bron has dedicated paid haters. Remember what happened to Iverson for saying he wanted to play MJ 1v1 and beat him? They tried to black ball him. Jordan had waaaaay too much power. Bron is doing this while being a good father and getting college kids paid producing motivational content having his bid represent and get players paid. Skip literally making money off that Jordan feeling.
Jordan was getting criticized by the media every season before he won his first championship. Because of the type of players Bird and Magic was. The media was saying Jordan couldn't win a championship while winning the scoring title. That drove Jordan to prove them wrong. After Jordan started to win championships the media shut up because the media never owns up to their mistakes. They just started kissing his a$$.
@@CorneliusFisher-x4gWell apparently he proved something to Isiah in 1989 when he said Jordan was the best he’d ever seen when he was on the Arsenio Hall Show. 👀
Exactly. What are they talking about? Bizarre. So tired of this "debate." This season alone proves that LeBron is not the GOAT. He's playing like Charmin TP.
They're old enough but they're conveniently ignoring it. All you had to do was rewatch film and news. Mj hate was a real thing but it didn't last long because while Jordan was losing, he was torching haters. LeBron doesn't torch haters
Um naw Kobe didn’t resign with Nike and was going to start his own mamba brand and before its launch he died then Vanessa resigned with Nike after his death so now they’ve been releasing Kobe’s the last 2/3 years
Too many things out of a person’s control broke right for Michael Jordan. I mean he went from winning it all as a freshman in college to going undefeated against NBA All-Stars in the Olympic trials to what we all know he did in the NBA. And the cultural impact created by the shoes?!?! Someone would need divine intervention to equal or top that.
Exactly. I think of Jordan's Career as a Career where everything went perfectly. Superstars didn't leave, Perfect Ownership, Great GM, Fantastic Front office, One of the Greatest Coaches of all time. And LeBron's career is if you just brute forced all of it, no matter what team, what coach, what situation, Bron will find some way
@@killacaine9349 and? he was still the best player then, lmao but the fact that his career was 15 seasons and he didnt win anything for 8 and lebron is still playing catchup is insane
@killacaine9349 This is a dumbass take right here. How old was MJ when he won his first championship? Lebron made a finals with people I bet you can't even name at the age of 22. If MJ was greater than Lebron how come Lebron was in the league and lived up to the standards at 18? Lebron came straight from high-school and averaged 20 ppg. High school bro he didn't spend time in college. He went from playing with kids to grown ass men and was still able to have thay average. He doesn't have to be your goat but put some respect on that mother fuckers name. Quit acting like MJ is 1000x's better. Shit is ridiculous.
Brandon Jennings is fighting against everything they are talking about when it comes to Lebron. They are not putting Lebron down, they are just talking about MJ impact, and how the average fan felt about him.
LeBron has been getting killed in the media since before he got to the league all the way until now.... 20+ years later. yet I keep hearing the media is pushing LeBron. No, the media is following LeBron's fans. How can LeBron compete with the great Michael Jordan without facts being shown? The fact that he is even in this conversation is crazy after watching LeBron's entire career. So you know it's not too far behind when folks start asking how is he not the GOAT?
@@troyjohnson9123 Versus Bron's 2 bubble rings? MJ never lost a finals, and never even saw a game 7 in those finals. Even if you want to call the era weak, you have to remember that MJ was always there to take them over the top, even in the flu game. Bron never would have been able to do what MJ did in that flu game, but I'd bet that MJ could do whatever Lebron did in whichever finals performance you want to name. MJ just wanted it more. He stuck with the Bulls, despite the losses, through the first 3-peat, and went back to them for the 2nd 3-peat. Lebron had to bail on the heat to win his first chip, taking the easy way out. So even if you claim that this era is better, the fact that he took the easy way out with his super teams negates that, and don't even get me started on the rules differences. MJ getting put on the floor every time he drove to the basket in his early years, or getting effectively punched in the stomach every time he drove. Did he cry, stay down, or whine to the refs? No, he got up after every hard foul and played his game. Compare that to Lebron flopping, milking every medium hard foul for all it was worth, etc.
Naw, he looked the best because there was no one equal to his prowess offensively or defensively. The 80s we had KAJ, Bird, Magic....the 2000s we has Shaq, Kobe, Duncan....the 2010s we had Bron, KD, Steph...who did the 90s have outside of MJ in the 90s? There wasn't a SG 6'6 and above that was gifted as Mike in the 90's....Clyde Drexler was his "nemesis" and they only played each other twice a year
You asked who played in the 90's except for Jordan. Charles Barkley(6''6 260lbs) early 1990's 28ppg 10rebs Bernard King(6'7-220lbs) early 1990's 28ppg Dominique Wilkins (6'8-230lbs) 28ppg early 90's Shaq(7'1-290lbs) 30ppg 11rebs early 90's OLAJUWON(6'11-255lbs) late 90's 28ppg 11rebs David Robinson (7'1-249lbs) 30ppg 11rebs 93/94 Daughtery(7'1-275lbs ) 22ppg 11rebs 90-93 Alonzo Mourning(6'10-261lbs)23ppg 10rebs 95/96 Karl Malone(6'9 250lbs) 30ppg 11rebs early 90's Larry Bird(averaged 24ppg 10rebs his entire career(6'9 -220lbs) Magic Johnson (6'9 -220lbs) early 90's 21ppg 12assists Ewing(7'0 -255lbs) 25ppg 11rebs 93/94 Clyde Drexler 6'7-222lbs) 25ppg 7rebs 7assists 91/92 Anyone of those players would have dominated this era, without the hand checking rules.
Jordan was the ultimate symbol of success because he didn't argue against the naysayers, he just took the criticism and then proved them wrong. Every. Single. Time. The media first criticized him for being a ball hog while comparing him to Magic, he played PG for a stretch and notched triple doubles. Media then said all he could do was score and not play defense, he won DPOY and got 200 steals and 100 blocks for 2 seasons. Media then said Jordan couldn't win rings, and he won one. They said MJ couldn't shoot 3s and he shot 6 in against Portland in the NBA finals in the first half. Media still said Magic and Bird were better, so he got a 3-peat cause neither of Magic or Bird could do it. When he returned from retirement, media said he was too old. And he came back with the best record ever in the NBA and another 3-peat. At every single turn, MJ proved the media wrong. It is nuts to be able to grind at a perceived weakness and make it a strength and then to do it multiple times? That's insanity. It's not just what he did, but how he did it that made Jordan different. Lebron is a special athlete and deserves all the respect. It is unfair the amount of hate he gets for what? Being in the conversation for the greatest of all time?
My brother is 21. Him and his friends was arguing why Lebron is better than MJ. Then I walked in, and they asked me “why people rate MJ over Lebron”. I said “Lebron is great. But I feel bad for ya because ya never got to see MJ play. Think about the best game 7s you seen or the superbowl. Every time Jordan played, even if it was vs the worst team in the league it felt like that. And once you got to the playoffs, multiply that feeling by 10 again. So, it’s not only the stats, but what you saw him do that nobody else could and how you felt. And the fear he put in the best players of his era” Then i took a swig of my whiskey and walked away. 😂
Pathetic. The competition was much worse back then, that's one thing. Another thing is, you're not about basketball at all. You're about dominating others. 🙄🙄🙄
Mj is 147-170 without Scottie pippen and 1-9 in the playoffs without Scottie. He’s not better than Lebron in any universe it’s all a bunch of mccants who say that dumb shit.
I believe LeBron gets “hate” because he’s being compared to that same guy that made everyone “smile” and had everyone amazed when he played (Jordan). Jordan doesn’t really even have haters fr, at least not as much as LeBron.
Jordan was 1st black player to set the tone. So black ppl were in awe. We don’t have that same awe because it’s being done on multiple levels. MJ is more famous but Lebron is more talented.
wrong ma boi, it is not "only" he is being compared of to MJ.. He "TRYING" until TODAY (maybe until he DIE) to C.O.P.Y MJ from NUMBER, MOVIES, SHOTS (which he badly did 😂) and everything. Even saying that he is chasing the ghost from chicago (that would never happen 😂) All of Bronsexual keep on changing narrative that "they are done with 90's", "mj playing with plumbers", to questioning MJ achievements and some stuff to discredit MJ. TBH, ALL Bronsexuals including his FGOAT James FOR M.E. think that they are the one that cannot leave MJ to their F mouth 😂😂😂 it kills and eat them to their CORE. Barkley is right, it is better for him to RETIRE N.O.W to avoid MORE disaster on his FRAUD LEGACY 😂😂😂
@@Thereal_queenjones Wrong! So If I had a 6 inch 🍆 and could drive you crazy compared to having a 11 inch 🍆 that you can’t handle. Then Who has the talent vs. who just has size and ability?
Nah. It's the super teams. Taking the easy way out. Flopping at an incredulous rate. Controlling the media in many ways. Blaming his team mates when he loses and taking all the credit when they win. Choking in big moments.
I think it's time for people to just take MJ out the equation in these comparison and put him to the side because MJ is literally the standard people use in all these comparisons on who is the greatest. Just put MJ on the side and worry about everyone else. Lebron can score 50K and still won't receive the same reverence people have for MJ. You have to have seen Michael Jordan in real time as a player to fully understand. Michael Jordan, before the internet, was more famous than Lebron James is now. What Michael Jordan didin basketball is what Michael Jackson did in music. Their level of excellence and achievement set the bar high in their respective fields and both men transcended their fields and became part of American culture in a way Lebron James will never be. Michael Jordan set the standard so high people bumped the great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar out the way.
Rashad the man averaged 40 against you and is 6-1….that just sounds like hate coming from you lol. Coming from Trevor Ariza…cool , KD or Kawhi I could accept it. But coming from the man that Lebron had his greatest games against your team??? Kobe didn’t average 40 against yall lol
What Kobe got career highs in basically every team in the league ? Like what tf are u talking about. This a Jordan Bron debate don’t smut Kobe in Brons defense thoe. Kobe never team hopped and joined a team with another superstar. So yea don’t bring up Kobe in a Bron Jordan debate cus if u wanna go there out of the 3 life on the line Kobe will seal the deal to hit the shot weather it’s a layup and1 middy 3pt shot or a 4point play so stop the Kobe slander
Michael Jordan didn’t play in the finals against one dynasty, he ducked the Rockets, look what the warriors built just to beat Lebron because he went to the finals for nearly 10 years in a row. There’s levels
@@choyblack528 Even now, nobody can do MJ moves. And the NBA supposedly has the most skilled and talented players now and yet MJ moves still more adavanced.
Wouldn't say great. His most iconic plays were offensive fouls. They were also plays that he used outside the clutch. Being favored by refs outside the clutch and in the clutch isn't that great.
@@penkima4923 "Both/and" MJ was clutch AND the referees gave him breaks unlike any other before or since. I hated that. But only Larry Bird was a better clutch game-on-the-line shooter imo tho. MJ hit his game winners and went hype..Bird hit his and it was just another day at the office.
@@penkima4923 wow the refs favour the superstar; have you watched the NBA at all in the last 10 years my nga? You act like LBJ hasn't got the same favouritism. Jordan was clutch, arguably one of the most to do it. The reason ppl can't take you Lebron dickriders serious is because in lieu of DEFENDING your guy, you attack the other guy (weak era, not clutch, etc). The bias is just unreal when he is the gold standard
Jordan was just a total package. Let's put away the stats. His swag, charisma, and game style and through the roof. Bruh, people were copying the way he chewed his gum, the way he stuck out his tongue, the way he walked, Kobe even copied the way he talked. It was crazy.
Smh.....yall are the niggas I hate to hear/see in this conversation. Talking about swag and charisma.....yall think them niggas cute and that sways how you feel about their game. That's weird af😂
@CrisJunkie these are the worse type of opinions on this conversation. Swag and charisma? Yall just think he's cute and letting that factor into how yall view the game. Shit is weird man
Stephen Curry responded to Michael Jordan saying he's "not a Hall of Famer yet," by saying, “I know I have more to prove to myself. When you hear a guy like that who’s the Greatest Of All Time (GOAT), it’s kind of funny. Since we’ve been on this stage, we’ve heard a lot of retired guys chiming in on this generation of basketball players and evaluating talent and saying their generation was better and all that.” - Stephen Wardell Curry II 👀🔥🔥🔥🔥
13:07 them beating the 73-9 Warriors is tainted by Draymond's ejection and suspension, Bogut getting hurt and Iggy getting hurt JUST LIKE Bron fans say the Warriors winning the season before is tainted by Kyrie and K-Love being hurt. But biased Bron fans like to be hypocrital
Also, Warriors put EVERYTHING into beating the bulls record, I think they were tired in the playoffs. Bulls did 72-10 without this problem. 😎💪 And it wasn't The Last Dance season, these guys are hopeless. 🤦♂️
@anthonywillis3676 that's a lie yal just talking and don't know shit... Kobe had a relationship with rashad... Every bball player is a fan of kobe he's a god... Yal couch potatoes need to sthu
ULTIMATE ANSWER To answer Jennings question: what has Bron done to make people hate him? HE CHALLENGED MJs LEGACY as the goat! That's why they hated on him. They didn't hate shaq...kobe, tmac, Vince, duncan etc.....BRON is the only one who has really challenged Mj as the goat.
The media dubbed LeBron the GoaT, and LeBron got his Chosen 1 tattoo, before LeBron played his first NBA game. That's why so many hate LeBron. And hate the corrupt media.
I'm not sure if you remember but they were comparing Kobe to MJ before it was LeBron's turn especially because Kobe tried to copy MJ's moves and mannerisms. LeBron stole his number and movie lol. After LeBron's turn is up, there will be someone else. LBJ and KB are the best of the bunch so far though.
I think the hate comes from the media trying to make him greater than what he really is and former players and fans can see straight through the media bs
Also afraid to lose in the dunk contest. I think that actually hurt his legacy in some people’s eyes. Jordan was the ultimate competitor. Lebron always wanted to put himself in the most appealing situation.
true and Iverson is the best player under 6'1.. Lebron ain't an all time top 5 player let alone on the level of Michael Jordan.. I don't care if he can pass like Magic Johnson.
He does that when he doesn’t get push back. When he had Aries spears on he choked on a lot of those arguments. Gil is usually quick and funny with jokes but Aries does that better. It was a great episode I would to see him there again.
That’s not true about the media not being able to talk negatively about mj. The accused him of gambling. That he got his dad killed because of gambling debt. They said mj couldn’t win a championship. They said he sucked at baseball and I could keep going but u get the point
It's so sad that people can't just accept the fact that Michael Jordan happened and he was just that good and the players of that era we're also better players than today
Can you show or have 1 piece of article that confirms this? This is a lie. Peter Vecsey just like every other media member was not allowed to criticize Mj
@@raymondbaker9529 definitely not a lie you may be too young to remember it they was calling Jordan selfish player he will never win like magic or bird he’s just a stats player etc, it was a interview a while back where Peter spoke on Jordan’s gambling it’s hard to find a bunch of this stuff due to it’s so dang old but I remember bro
@@perennialviralbasketball24 yall go off two seasons but not lookin at the career, back on okc he choked against bron and westbrook was having o takeover
@@Captain_ObviouslyRight 😂😂 no it wasn’t it was just ppl couldn’t search and see it all day , these days everybody has a opinion so ppl that stay in the house all day can make up bs and criticize everything about lebron from the way he tie his shoe Just like kids these days is more disrespectful or they say kids these days kill ,like it wasn’t going on in the 80’s and 90’s the difference is they didn’t have cameras in ya face all the time and watch everything you do , these days they do so you know how that go
People will say a player's shoes doesn't matter, but that player's influence to the culture is why people buy them in the first place. Growing up I wanted all the Jordans for casual wear and all the Kobes to play ball. There is a reason why everyone wanted to be "Like Mike" on and off the court. Don't forget, people used to kill/steal/rob just for a pair of Jordans. In classrooms playing paper-ball basketball everyone saying "KOBE!" with every shot. We used to witness greatness with our own eyes but nowadays people just see 1 minute long edited tik-toks and believe the narratives they see. With algorithms on social media, once you like a video pushing a certain narrative that is all your feed will show so that's what they will continue to believe.
Y’all are so dumb and don’t even understand why Jordan shoes got popular. It was more than Jordan it was apart of hip hop culture. Kids that wear Jordan’s now don’t even know who he is. They could care less about his career or how many rings he got. People only wear Jordans because it’s a popular shoe in our culture not because they like Jordan the player. I saw this video online and they asked this white girl who was wearing Jordan’s if she knew how he looked and she said no. It’s only us older people who have an emotional connection to his shoes. And wanted to be like Jordan on the court. None of that has anything to do with basketball.
Bron has a better over all. When you talk pure offense it’s KD even Bron passing it to KD for the win if he need to. KD likes to play off other stars. Bron can manage a game way better than KD can. And that’s what makes Bron better.
In the 90s, Jordan changed the way me and my friends looked at life. We felt like anything that we had a gift or talent in, we could be like Jordan in that. Jordan’s swag, his charisma, his professionalism, his clutch performances, his greatness; the media capitalized and promoted that. Gatorade even made a SONG ABOUT HIM; “Like Mike, i wanna be like Mike… i wanna be, i wanna be like Mike” They wrote a SONG about him.
I'm 25 born '98 ..... Grew up through bron era🔥🔥🔥being in baltimore your whole life you see a lot ish been through a lot of ish I'm pretty sure that was every era in every city..........watching the last dance opened my eyes on how the world viewed Mr. Jordan & how he viewed himself... Can't be f*** with. Every older person I get around I have to ask (MANDATORY) what were they doing during Jordan era & have they ever watch or seen him play... Everybody today is MJ no Debate....
I watched Bulls since '86 at 10 years old. I've seen him play only 3 times in person. I was at the Scottie Pippen charity game in 1994 before they tore down the old Chicago Stadium, Jordan came back from baseball for that one. There is no one like Michael Jordan. His basically the physical embodiment of the competitive spirit in sports.
@@christopheb.6121 theres people that have voting rights that hate on lebron like you. lebron had to face the best team to ever exist and then got kd the very next year
Bron averaged 37ppg for his career against Rashad. Kobe avenged 28. Lebron also busted Kobe’s ass 16-6 time(Kobe had under 10 in 3 of those wins). Rashad’s arguments are purely based on emotion.
Kobe still had a 3 peat plus a back to back Without Shaq!!! Plus Kobe stayed with one team plus Kobe won more with less 😅 Also he scored 67 with a torn Achilles WHUT!!!!

We live in an era of hate. Instead of giving LeBron props for having the second most FMVPs of all-time, people focus on his many championship losses. We don't even hear people talk about Jordan's many bad shooting nights. One gets trolled for having 50+ in a finals loss against a significantly better team and the other gets praised for dropping 60+ in a 1st rd loss against a significantly better team. That man legit can't win and I'd bet the house the public would destroy Jordan for his failures if he played today too. The era of hate.
Jordan failures was what people loved about him. He didn’t run or joined up, he put the wrk In and kicked everybody’s ass bro. Real Talk. Plus Jordan wasn’t obsessed on being CALLED the Goat like Bron is, Jordan wanted to prove to his peers he’s the best. Plain and simple.
@@FeiLong82 his organization got him the talent he needed. Why does everyone conveniently forget that? The off-season Bron decided to go to south beach free agency was stacked and the Cavs did NOTHING. Dwight had a team, Boston had their big 3 with Rondo emerging as a real problem with his vision & IQ, and you still had the west being the west.
Jordan won 🏆....period......Bron didn't win like Jordan..there was no team hoping like that...and Brons game not special ...he's just big and athletic...
MJ won in 1991 with ZERO all stars on his team. ZERO. Jordan did it again inn1998. Won with ZERO all stars. Lebron always needed an all star lol. Shit, he needed 2 in Miami. He was playing with multiple all nba caliber teammates every time he won. MJ only played with one, and only in 4 outta his 6. Gtfo.
Bron had vets on his team hating on em as a 18 year old rookie expected to be the savior of a franchise GMs hate him former teammates hate em and all he wanted to do is play ball and win. 20 plus years of elite play I’ve never in my Life heard of anybody in any profession get criticized for being good at something for a long time shit is sick
Crazy how everyone got there own opinion of Bron but if you go look at the numbers 🤔 just saying they be acting like Bron a bum, almost 40 and still doing more then some of the younger guys Mike or kobe wasn't doing that in there late age nope.
I remember when Brandon was objectively critical of Lebron 5 or 6 yrs ago. Now he has become a Bronsexual, it's like a virus that infects people. Lebron was the Drake of rap, can't deny his talent but real ones aint respect him like THAT. From Deshawn Stevenson making fun of him and his "crab dribble" that one time, to Lance Stephenson blowing in his ear, to Jason Terry trash talking him in The Finals, it's just things players wouldn't do to MJ or Kobe.
Like punch his bitch ass in the face like they did? Or slam his bitch ass to the ground and whoop his ass in the playoffs like they did. Yea they would never. Stupid as fuck.
MJ caught hard fouls all day and was trash talked. Kobe was the biggest b!tch on the court as he allowed a dude to 2 piece him. What is you even saying??
@@ozonespec it’s very simple actually.. Kobe did more in less time. LeBron is like a Kardashian desperately chasing what he will never catch. It was MJ or Kobe and Kobe didn’t measure up. Then this phenom kid from Ohio showed up with crazy potential. He dominated the league for 21 years, but in the end didn’t match up. You always get backlash when you say something people don’t want to hear, but it is what it is. Besides that all time scoring record he didn’t do anything the others haven’t done. Unpopular truth is it goes Michael Jordan Kobe Bryant LeBron James
If i wasn't working at footlocker in the 90s i definitely would've been in that long ass line😂🤦🏾aint nobody standing in line for LeBrons 😂😂🤔dont even know when they drop🤦🏾
Some of these young men don’t get it. The following words are from Lebron’s James: "When I started playing basketball, I was like 'Man, that 2-3 looks good,'" James said in 2019. "'I want to be able to fly like him.
Yeah so overall, Bron is fighting against Jordon’s Iconography, not even Jordan as just the player. Which is why he’ll forever be fighting a losing battle. Jordan is the Epitome of right place right time along with a little bit a luck. His talent and preparation was unveiled at the PERFECT time in the NBA. No one can usurp that!
@@dalecarson645 skill set is better Jordan did his damage against ppl that weren’t as athletic as him that’s just the facts the average player in the league now have his talents just not his mentality that just the truth

Fck that shi. Everyone who ain't completely biased knows that Bron is greater than Kobe. Stop letting your emotions get into these conversations!!! Kobe is a great player, but he is not even Top 5 cmon now.
LeBron is a Boule member!! How didn't you know LeBron is chosen to controll the black peoples voice! Wake up! They hate KD Kobe & Kyrie because they can't be controlled ❤
Kobe was a Jordan clone, all his moves he took everything including the triangle offense plus he played with Shaq who was the finals mvp in all 3 of the chips they won together
Lebron is better then kd that's not a fcking debate.. if the question is who's a better scorer then yes kd is the best scorer of all time it's either him or melo and I lean more towards kd
The next great in the GoaT discussion is probably already born and in the NBA. It was Wemby's fault that France lost to Team USA. But MJ, Kobe and LeBron all needed to mature for years before they started winning chips. The CP3-move to the Spurs will hinder Wemby's development, and probably prevent Wemby from reaching his full potential. But Wemby is already a top-10 player in the league, so he indeed is a prodigy. The only question is health, and unfortunately Popovich is too old at this point to give any sensible advice to Wemby.
People are gonna replace bron soooo quick in 10-15 years. Gonna say it was all longevity, he was just bigger/faster than everybody, easier league, he had no jumper, he stacked teams etc… when the league is full of Giannis and wemby types they’ll look back and laugh.
It not about lebron being a physical specimen. Lebron mindset wouldn't be the same. Center stay in lane and your defense player riding your side all the way too the goal. Lebron skillset is basic.back then you have to be a man. Lebron skillset is weak don't have abcd moves like a jordan. Lbj play in era where you breathe on you wrong foul😂. Just think if shaq play in this era he avg 70 and that without making a freethrow
it’s impossible to compare eras. Medicine, training methods and knowledge now isn’t the same as they were back in the 90s. So you just cant drop LBJ in the 90s w/o wondering if the same medicine, training methods and knowledge were available for Jordan in the 90s
The defense in that time was foul hard cause we aren't actually skilled. Defense was tough when LBJ came in and he didn't have a problem with it then. He would probably look the same or better in the 80's-90's.
They change rules for a lebron fast break is where he get alot pts from. Why grab technical foul and ball back ,because nba was looking for the next jordan and they did everything for a lebron.like they say lebron do steroid and many high profile ppl say they buy from same distributor and nba not testing because they nor trying to ruin there bread and butter. Didn't let kobe get a chris Paul but let bron,wade,ray and bosh join each other 🤔
Anybody that saw them both play or is old enough knows that that Michael Jordan is the greatest player to ever play the game. Facts no debate both defensively and offensively. LeBron James is Karl Malone with Magic Johnson’s passing ability .
They(Bron loyalist and the newer generation) wants to make it a conversation. MJ is just in another galaxy. There's video stats and analytics that blows Bron, Kobe and any other NBA in history out the water. You don't have to tell led who to chips or off the court stuff to prove your case. There was no player ever that did most insane, creative, magical, incredible stuff on the court than mj. period.

Gil is right about just hearing MJ's name back in the day. I graduated HS in 1990, got Sports Illustrated delivered weekly to my mailbox throughout the 80s and 90s. Even reading "Michael Jordan" in print within the SI articles boosted your mood. For hoop heads, the closest thing is probably the psychological phenomenon that the Beatles or Elvis had on teenage girls.
I actuality saw MJ play in a preseason game against the Wizards for my 18th birthday in 1989. Even that environment was electric. We were right behind the Bulls bench. Other than some pretty lady who kept trying to get Scottie Pippen's attention, all eyes were on Jordan. If he turned and smiled toward your section hundreds of people lit up. You could feel the energy in the air shift every time he touched the ball.
But he was wrong about Journalist gettting fired if the criticized MJ! I don't remember Sam Smith getting fired from the Chicago Tribune after he wrote the Jordan Rules
@@sonnywoods6846 Yeah, you're right. Journalists who critiqued MJ for gambling during the '93 playoffs against the Knicks were also not fired. In general, I do think MJ held sway over the media. They swooned over him in the mid- to late-80s and early 90s. To build off of Gil's point, it's partly the media landscape has changed, but it's mostly that Jordan was photogenic, had a winning smile, could speak effortlessly and engagingly in interviews and commercials, and he was visually majestic on the basketball court. He had God-given gifts that added up to a marketing dream right when Bird and Magic were on the tail end of their careers. It was a perfect storm.
So, as far as the media goes: It was like the Babe Ruth phenomenon. The media wrote glorious stories touting the heroics of the supernatural athlete to sell more papers, and all the athlete had to do was keep performing godlike feats in their sport. Everybody wins. Jordan sold newspapers and magazines, so journalists were keen on putting him on their cover. To your point: MJ soured on SI when they wrote that one "Bag It, Michael!" piece about his struggles in baseball and would not speak to them for years, so there is some basis to Gil's assertion, but he was exaggerating.
Man !!! So Awesome Memories In The 80's & 90's
You right bro!!!! If you grew up late 80’s and 90’s it was electrifying to see him play. He created a blueprint they are all following. Kobe without a Jordan Blueprint is just another good basketball player… He copied every move 😂 WTF.
And that’s in 89
There was a whole book called “Jordan Rules” which slandered Jordan…
One book. Bron has dedicated paid haters. Remember what happened to Iverson for saying he wanted to play MJ 1v1 and beat him? They tried to black ball him. Jordan had waaaaay too much power. Bron is doing this while being a good father and getting college kids paid producing motivational content having his bid represent and get players paid.

Jordan was getting criticized by the media every season before he won his first championship. Because of the type of players Bird and Magic was. The media was saying Jordan couldn't win a championship while winning the scoring title. That drove Jordan to prove them wrong. After Jordan started to win championships the media shut up because the media never owns up to their mistakes. They just started kissing his a$$.
Even after his second, they said he was behind Magic and Bird.
Right... I remember after jordan won his first isiah Thomas saying he hasn't proved anything until he wins two
@@CorneliusFisher-x4gWell apparently he proved something to Isiah in 1989 when he said Jordan was the best he’d ever seen when he was on the Arsenio Hall Show. 👀

They're old enough but they're conveniently ignoring it. All you had to do was rewatch film and news. Mj hate was a real thing but it didn't last long because while Jordan was losing, he was torching haters. LeBron doesn't torch haters

And the cultural impact created by the shoes?!?! Someone would need divine intervention to equal or top that.
Exactly. I think of Jordan's Career as a Career where everything went perfectly. Superstars didn't leave, Perfect Ownership, Great GM, Fantastic Front office, One of the Greatest Coaches of all time.

@killacaine9349 This is a dumbass take right here. How old was MJ when he won his first championship? Lebron made a finals with people I bet you can't even name at the age of 22. If MJ was greater than Lebron how come Lebron was in the league and lived up to the standards at 18? Lebron came straight from high-school and averaged 20 ppg. High school bro he didn't spend time in college. He went from playing with kids to grown ass men and was still able to have thay average. He doesn't have to be your goat but put some respect on that mother fuckers name. Quit acting like MJ is 1000x's better. Shit is ridiculous.
Brandon Jennings is fighting against everything they are talking about when it comes to Lebron. They are not putting Lebron down, they are just talking about MJ impact, and how the average fan felt about him.
BJ is not very educated nor bright even in the sport he played in but most importantly he’s not a champion either!

LeBron has been getting killed in the media since before he got to the league all the way until now.... 20+ years later. yet I keep hearing the media is pushing LeBron.

The fact that he is even in this conversation is crazy after watching LeBron's entire career. So you know it's not too far behind when folks start asking how is he not the GOAT?
Magic couldn’t have clowned Jordan for losing in the finals because he never lost a finals. 😂
Weak era. I remember Rodman at the conclusion of the Seattle championship admitting as much.
@@troyjohnson9123 Versus Bron's 2 bubble rings?
MJ never lost a finals, and never even saw a game 7 in those finals. Even if you want to call the era weak, you have to remember that MJ was always there to take them over the top, even in the flu game. Bron never would have been able to do what MJ did in that flu game, but I'd bet that MJ could do whatever Lebron did in whichever finals performance you want to name. MJ just wanted it more. He stuck with the Bulls, despite the losses, through the first 3-peat, and went back to them for the 2nd 3-peat.
Lebron had to bail on the heat to win his first chip, taking the easy way out. So even if you claim that this era is better, the fact that he took the easy way out with his super teams negates that, and don't even get me started on the rules differences. MJ getting put on the floor every time he drove to the basket in his early years, or getting effectively punched in the stomach every time he drove. Did he cry, stay down, or whine to the refs? No, he got up after every hard foul and played his game. Compare that to Lebron flopping, milking every medium hard foul for all it was worth, etc.
People think MJ career started in 90s. He struggled getting to the finals.
Nope @@troyjohnson9123

It’s the eye test Mike looked like the best cause whenever the moment called for it he delivered

Naw, he looked the best because there was no one equal to his prowess offensively or defensively. The 80s we had KAJ, Bird, Magic....the 2000s we has Shaq, Kobe, Duncan....the 2010s we had Bron, KD, Steph...who did the 90s have outside of MJ in the 90s? There wasn't a SG 6'6 and above that was gifted as Mike in the 90's....Clyde Drexler was his "nemesis" and they only played each other twice a year

Jordan was the ultimate symbol of success because he didn't argue against the naysayers, he just took the criticism and then proved them wrong. Every. Single. Time. The media first criticized him for being a ball hog while comparing him to Magic, he played PG for a stretch and notched triple doubles. Media then said all he could do was score and not play defense, he won DPOY and got 200 steals and 100 blocks for 2 seasons. Media then said Jordan couldn't win rings, and he won one. They said MJ couldn't shoot 3s and he shot 6 in against Portland in the NBA finals in the first half. Media still said Magic and Bird were better, so he got a 3-peat cause neither of Magic or Bird could do it. When he returned from retirement, media said he was too old. And he came back with the best record ever in the NBA and another 3-peat.
At every single turn, MJ proved the media wrong. It is nuts to be able to grind at a perceived weakness and make it a strength and then to do it multiple times? That's insanity. It's not just what he did, but how he did it that made Jordan different. Lebron is a special athlete and deserves all the respect. It is unfair the amount of hate he gets for what? Being in the conversation for the greatest of all time?

My brother is 21. Him and his friends was arguing why Lebron is better than MJ. Then I walked in, and they asked me “why people rate MJ over Lebron”. I said “Lebron is great. But I feel bad for ya because ya never got to see MJ play. Think about the best game 7s you seen or the superbowl. Every time Jordan played, even if it was vs the worst team in the league it felt like that. And once you got to the playoffs, multiply that feeling by 10 again. So, it’s not only the stats, but what you saw him do that nobody else could and how you felt. And the fear he put in the best players of his era”

Just put MJ on the side and worry about everyone else. Lebron can score 50K and still won't receive the same reverence people have for MJ. You have to have seen Michael Jordan in real time as a player to fully understand. Michael Jordan, before the internet, was more famous than Lebron James is now.

The media dubbed LeBron the GoaT, and LeBron got his Chosen 1 tattoo, before LeBron played his first NBA game. That's why so many hate LeBron. And hate the corrupt media.
I'm not sure if you remember but they were comparing Kobe to MJ before it was LeBron's turn especially because Kobe tried to copy MJ's moves and mannerisms. LeBron stole his number and movie lol.

People will say a player's shoes doesn't matter, but that player's influence to the culture is why people buy them in the first place. Growing up I wanted all the Jordans for casual wear and all the Kobes to play ball. There is a reason why everyone wanted to be "Like Mike" on and off the court. Don't forget, people used to kill/steal/rob just for a pair of Jordans. In classrooms playing paper-ball basketball everyone saying "KOBE!" with every shot. We used to witness greatness with our own eyes but nowadays people just see 1 minute long edited tik-toks and believe the narratives they see. With algorithms on social media, once you like a video pushing a certain narrative that is all your feed will show so that's what they will continue to believe.
True!!!! 💯
Wanting to “be like mike” was also a marketing campaign.
@@theonlykingA It’s all marketing LeBron being posted on social media. Every 5 minutes is marketing. 🤷🏽♂️
People buy jordans are the same reason why people hate lebron people are followers
Y’all are so dumb and don’t even understand why Jordan shoes got popular. It was more than Jordan it was apart of hip hop culture. Kids that wear Jordan’s now don’t even know who he is. They could care less about his career or how many rings he got. People only wear Jordans because it’s a popular shoe in our culture not because they like Jordan the player. I saw this video online and they asked this white girl who was wearing Jordan’s if she knew how he looked and she said no. It’s only us older people who have an emotional connection to his shoes. And wanted to be like Jordan on the court. None of that has anything to do with basketball.
Bron has a better over all. When you talk pure offense it’s KD even Bron passing it to KD for the win if he need to. KD likes to play off other stars. Bron can manage a game way better than KD can. And that’s what makes Bron better.
That's why he 4 and 6 and had close games against g league olympic teams..his playing style wack
In the 90s, Jordan changed the way me and my friends looked at life. We felt like anything that we had a gift or talent in, we could be like Jordan in that.
Jordan’s swag, his charisma, his professionalism, his clutch performances, his greatness; the media capitalized and promoted that. Gatorade even made a SONG ABOUT HIM;
“Like Mike, i wanna be like Mike… i wanna be, i wanna be like Mike”
They wrote a SONG about him.
Exactly!
I'm 25 born '98 ..... Grew up through bron era🔥🔥🔥being in baltimore your whole life you see a lot ish been through a lot of ish I'm pretty sure that was every era in every city..........watching the last dance opened my eyes on how the world viewed Mr. Jordan & how he viewed himself... Can't be f*** with. Every older person I get around I have to ask (MANDATORY) what were they doing during Jordan era & have they ever watch or seen him play... Everybody today is MJ no Debate....
I watched Bulls since '86 at 10 years old. I've seen him play only 3 times in person. I was at the Scottie Pippen charity game in 1994 before they tore down the old Chicago Stadium, Jordan came back from baseball for that one.
There is no one like Michael Jordan. His basically the physical embodiment of the competitive spirit in sports.

Bron averaged 37ppg for his career against Rashad. Kobe avenged 28. Lebron also busted Kobe’s ass 16-6 time(Kobe had under 10 in 3 of those wins). Rashad’s arguments are purely based on emotion.
Kobe still had a 3 peat plus a back to back Without Shaq!!! Plus Kobe stayed with one team plus Kobe won more with less 😅 Also he scored 67 with a torn Achilles WHUT!!!!
No team Lebron had before the Miami heat run was better the Kobe’s championship teams or MJ’s championship teams so stop it.

Gilbert is spittin' in this episode. Now, you're dissecting the eras properly.
We live in an era of hate. Instead of giving LeBron props for having the second most FMVPs of all-time, people focus on his many championship losses. We don't even hear people talk about Jordan's many bad shooting nights.
One gets trolled for having 50+ in a finals loss against a significantly better team and the other gets praised for dropping 60+ in a 1st rd loss against a significantly better team. That man legit can't win and I'd bet the house the public would destroy Jordan for his failures if he played today too. The era of hate.
Jordan failures was what people loved about him. He didn’t run or joined up, he put the wrk In and kicked everybody’s ass bro. Real Talk. Plus Jordan wasn’t obsessed on being CALLED the Goat like Bron is, Jordan wanted to prove to his peers he’s the best. Plain and simple.
@@FeiLong82 his organization got him the talent he needed. Why does everyone conveniently forget that?
The off-season Bron decided to go to south beach free agency was stacked and the Cavs did NOTHING. Dwight had a team, Boston had their big 3 with Rondo emerging as a real problem with his vision & IQ, and you still had the west being the west.
A bad shooting night and a championship loss are put on the same pedestal???

I remember when Brandon was objectively critical of Lebron 5 or 6 yrs ago. Now he has become a Bronsexual, it's like a virus that infects people. Lebron was the Drake of rap, can't deny his talent but real ones aint respect him like THAT. From Deshawn Stevenson making fun of him and his "crab dribble" that one time, to Lance Stephenson blowing in his ear, to Jason Terry trash talking him in The Finals, it's just things players wouldn't do to MJ or Kobe.

Exactly. How did he, LeBron, pass Magic?
Kobe was a Jordan clone, all his moves he took everything including the triangle offense plus he played with Shaq who was the finals mvp in all 3 of the chips they won together
He passed Kobe in 2013&14. He got 🐐'd in 2016
Kobe’s death elevated the myth. In reality, when he was alive no one had him in the 🐐 conversation.
Lebron is better then kd that's not a fcking debate.. if the question is who's a better scorer then yes kd is the best scorer of all time it's either him or melo and I lean more towards kd
Lebron fans hate MJ fans now but wait until they get old and there’s a new NBA superstar born. They’re really going to get tight. 😂😂😂
No one will pass jordan..The economy crashing and all the foreigners still gonna buy Jordan's because they think that's what Americans like
Funny thing is people who have MJ as GOAT are fans of basketball, whereas 99% of those that have LBJ as GOAT are his fans or MJ haters.
The next great in the GoaT discussion is probably already born and in the NBA. It was Wemby's fault that France lost to Team USA. But MJ, Kobe and LeBron all needed to mature for years before they started winning chips. The CP3-move to the Spurs will hinder Wemby's development, and probably prevent Wemby from reaching his full potential. But Wemby is already a top-10 player in the league, so he indeed is a prodigy. The only question is health, and unfortunately Popovich is too old at this point to give any sensible advice to Wemby.
People are gonna replace bron soooo quick in 10-15 years. Gonna say it was all longevity, he was just bigger/faster than everybody, easier league, he had no jumper, he stacked teams etc… when the league is full of Giannis and wemby types they’ll look back and laugh.
@@dapper892 - 10-15yrs?? It would be much quicker than that
Everybody asks how Jordan would do in today games. how Lebron would do back in the 80-90`s
It not about lebron being a physical specimen. Lebron mindset wouldn't be the same. Center stay in lane and your defense player riding your side all the way too the goal. Lebron skillset is basic.back then you have to be a man. Lebron skillset is weak don't have abcd moves like a jordan. Lbj play in era where you breathe on you wrong foul😂. Just think if shaq play in this era he avg 70 and that without making a freethrow
it’s impossible to compare eras. Medicine, training methods and knowledge now isn’t the same as they were back in the 90s. So you just cant drop LBJ in the 90s w/o wondering if the same medicine, training methods and knowledge were available for Jordan in the 90s
The defense in that time was foul hard cause we aren't actually skilled. Defense was tough when LBJ came in and he didn't have a problem with it then. He would probably look the same or better in the 80's-90's.

They(Bron loyalist and the newer generation) wants to make it a conversation. MJ is just in another galaxy. There's video stats and analytics that blows Bron, Kobe and any other NBA in history out the water. You don't have to tell led who to chips or off the court stuff to prove your case. There was no player ever that did most insane, creative, magical, incredible stuff on the court than mj. period.
The analysis doesn’t reflect who he was guarding and who was guarding him nor the level of talent in the league smh
