Great point if you never lived through the Jordan era and watched him play night after night no KZread video highlight reel could ever let you know how great MJ was. To summarize the experience imagine for a minute watching someone play and you saying man I wish we could win this game and your favorite athlete delivers every time, living up to all expectations, and never coming up short. That is what makes Jordan the GOAT.

The reason why MJ went so hard on blocking Patrick is because pat blocked his shot in the play before so MJ gave it right back to him

When this video gets into ANALYTICS... what goes over peoples heads are the side by side is actually much further apart than they seem. Tale Win Shares for example. MJ has led the league 8 times to Lebron's 5. But at the time the video was made MJ only played 13 full seasons, and Lebron 17 Full Seasons. So Lebron had an extra 4 years on MJ and still didn't match or beat MJ's number. MJ = 8/13 VS Lebron = 5/17.

Lebron just has more seasons on his side. His recent playing has even done worse for his "legacy". And as for Nick's comment at the beginning about Lebron being bigger and faster, how come he loses as much being that physically blessed in an era with smaller players and different foul-calling? MJ is smaller, but clutchness and winning is what matters most.

@SonicBoomC98

I think Nick's argument is weak anyway. Being bigger, stronger, and faster than someone does not mean you will be better. Also, I'm not even sure Lebron his quicker and faster. I would need to see his 40 time and other measurables.

I totally agree with your comment about Mount Rushmore. I've researched this myself and you're right. the game was very very different back in Wilt's time. I still don't have LeBron in my top five though. There is far too much disrespect shown to Kareem. I DID see him and bird and Magic play in a very tough era. The defense had so many things they could get away with, and damn near killed players. Hence the Jordan Rules. Watch the Bulls Mixtape. Watch how many players would be on defense against him. THAT is why that era was so popular with fans. It's was brutal. And in all that brutality, Jordan, Kareem, Bird and Magic STILL shone brightest. LeBron is close to Magic now. I will give him that. But this business of chasing titles by trying to create super teams. And the complete lack of defense played by LeBron. Sorry, I have him somewhere around 6th, fighting with a place with Kobe. But Jordan... There's NO debate. It's just a me generation who want to think they have the best player in THIS generation. They never saw Jordan or the others play. He would have destroyed LeBron. WHY? Because even if he wasn't better (although he would have been) he had such a ridiculous killer instinct, he would have worked overtime to become better, then on the court, he would have smashed LeBron with skills, speed, and killer mentality. He was the definition of a bad man on court.

I was fortunate enough to watch Jordan in his prime. Even growing up in NY we always got Bulls games on WGN & I became more a Jordan fan than a Bulls fan. Kids today will never understand how great he was. No disrespect to LeBron but he's no comparison to MJ, no one is. I understand LeBron fans will say this video was biased against LeBron from the clips but regardless of the visuals in the video, the stats, facts & figures don't lie. LeBron is & will go down as one of the greatest in NBA history but he doesn't & never will stack up to MJ.

I am 41, and saw many player’s play. Jordan was the best I’ve ever seen. When he played the Rocket’s I could feel doom for my Rocket’s, even though the Rocket’s bested the Bull’s a lot, but I’ve never felt that for any Lebron team’s.

I was born in 79 and watched all of these careers. I’m still mad that I never had tickets to a Jordan game when in NY. I seen LeBron in Miami 4 times and it wasn’t him that got me excited.

I think the reason for that is because this “debate” makes us talk about LeBron’s few weaknesses. Free throws, 3 point shooting, etc. that’s why this whole debate is so stupid. It’s disrespectful to LeBron James (one of the greatest players to ever play the game of Basketball) to compare him to Jordan.

I’m 55 years old and live in Cleveland. I watched both their careers and even though Lebron helped us win Cleveland’s only championship in my life, he does not compare to Michael Jordan. Lebron is great until the pressure is on, then he is a choke. He is not even close to Jordan.

It’s MJ, clearly. I shared season tickets from about 1988 through 92 and was at the hands switch scoop shot game 2 in 91 finals and at the six 3’s, 35 pts in one half game against the Blazers and the 15 pt fourth quarter comeback against the Blazers in Game 6. Game seven against the Knicks too. It’s like telling people i saw Jimi Hendrix live not once, not twice, but four times.

You're comparing an ounce of silver to an ounce of gold. MJ's achievements overshadows Lb.

Chris, I appreciate the intelligence level you brought to this video. You even made a lot of points right before DANGERProductions made the case for it. That's what's up. I forgot to mention the MJ ranks 6th All-time with 5.4 assists per game at the SG position and was an excellent passer. It is impossible to be ranked that high and not be good at assists, so that is a myth. Also, earlier in MJ's career his teammates were not good at scoring. MJ would pass to teammates and they wouldn't execute the score, so if he had the benefit of playing with all-star teammate like Lebron has had his assists would be even higher had those players been around him to scored once they got that feed from MJ. Also, today's position-less game continues to blur the lines between the positions. Lebron is listed as PF/SF... but he's a really a Point Forward like Scottie Pippen was. He did all the things a Point Guard would do.. bring up the ball and facilitate the offense. But at the Forward position and not the Guard position.

He played great consistently night after night, year after year. People tend to gravitate to the players they grow up watching...and if you were lucky enough to watch both Jordan and James play...MJ is obviously a much better player.

On the winning side, lets also not forget that Jordan is 1-0 playing in the NCAA finals and he’s 4-0 internationally with a gold at the PanAm Games, the Tournament of the Americas and 2 golds at the Olympics.

At best Lebron can only chase #2. But in my book, Bird is # 2, so Lebron can only chase #3.

Warriors Beat LeBron Without K.D also. Let’s not get it twisted.

Not only did he have Love and Irving, he SNITCHED on Draymond to get an advantage. He was 6-for-6 in NBA Finals with 6 Finals MVPs. This means that he was the reason each time that his team won the title.

Love the video. Awesome. If you haven't seen them, check out 'Michael Jordan's Best Rare Video Ever' or 'Michael Jordan Best Passing Highlights' Between those, his defensive highlights or even 'Michael Jordan's Historic Bulls Mixtape', no one can watch those videos after watching 'LeBron James Ultimate Career Mixtape', and (then say with a straight face) that LeBron James is better at dunking, scoring, passing, blocking, stealing, overall defending, or that he jumps higher, is a better ball handler, has better footwork, is better at misdirecting fakes, etc. The only people who can say that are the LeBron fanboys who see the red apple but insist it's actually blue. Most of them refuse to watch MJ highlights because deep down, they know. They'd rather act like children, use their fingers to plug their ears and say 'la-la-la I'm not listening la-la-la'. LeBron will pass Kareem as #1 on the all-time points leader, and he'll do it in fewer games than Kareem did. But he'll also pass Kareem as #1 all-time in Missed Shots... and he'll do that in fewer games too. Hell, a player who averages just '3' ppg can eventually become the #1 all-time leading scorer.

Sorry but I need my GOAT playing defense into his thirties. LeBron fans always quiet about that. Just throw up what he did on offense and hope people just ignore it. As the video shows Jordan out there making defensive first team and leading his position in defensive win shares and LeBron hasn't made a defensive team since 2014 and his rank plummets. And it's clearly due to lack of effort. He wasn't injured that whole time and he wasn't 37 for the last 7 years. The fact you can make a highlight video of him standing on the opposite side of the court watching hos team play 4 v 5 disqualifies him from being the GOAT in my eyes.

actually Jordan was good at assists, he was 4th overall for all shooting gaurds. He also played point guard for 24 games and he averaged: 30.4 points, 10.7 assists, 9.2 rebounds, and 2.4 steals. Compare that to Magic Johnson's career averages: 19.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 11.2 assists and 1.9 steals, Meaning Jordan got 2 more rebounds a game, a half a steal more per game, and only a half an assist less with 11 more points per game. All this at a position he was not as familiar with.

With an abundance of MJ documentaries, Personal testimonials, videos, and social media platforms available, I respect

Speaking of Turnovers, Lebrick has the most of any player in ABA and NBA history. kzread.info/dash/bejne/oqynpqSIc7LVmKg.html&t He was asked to score that's what he did, when he was asked to be the point and pass more the vid is what happens.

You place kareem over them, but he played in their era? lol People question who's the best because it's human nature to want to see the best ever in person, not some guy from 20-30-40 years ago.

When you see highlights of lebron finishing, you see defenders just standing there watching. When you see MJ’s highlights, unless it’s a fast break, he’s battling and winning through all sorts of heavy contact. Defense, hustle, are not a part of the modern game.

And also Chicago built thru the draft. LeFlop takes people on vacation, convinces stars to leave there team before there contract is up and forms a super team...... Smh. I'm not a Jordan fan but I know he's better

Thank you, most won't even mention this fact. The All Stars on those teams.

My pleasure! It was a great vid to watch!

People need to get off the assists thing with Jordan. Jordan was an elite passer, the difference between Jordan and Lebron or Bird is that Jordan was the finisher and he most often passed to get himself open so he got the ball back - no assist. Lebron is almost never the best finisher on teams he played on so he gets assists instead of buckets. Bird played with McHale, Parish and Walton - who could all finish as well or almost as well as he could so he racked up a lot of assists.

I didnt know that advanced or pure stats. But watching the games... Man, MJ 's games were OUT OF THISWORLD. James games- just few of them are great, and others- there are at least 10 players who have such an effort+result consistantly. He is NEVER EVEN CLOSE to g.O.a.T. NEVER EVEN CLOSE.

Bill Russell played when there was only 9 teams in the league and only a couple rounds of playoffs lol Some players ( if you look up information on this) showed they didn't have enough players and people like construction or other jobs would fill in teams back in the day. Wilt?? Wilt only had to deal with initially Bill Russell and George Mikan (Russell was only 6'9) There were NO 7ft monsters and then Kareem came in but still, just those three guys. Imagine if wilt had to deal with Hakeem, Ewing, Robinson, Shaq, yao ming, i mean the list goes on and they all were over 7ft. How would he defend and stop Shaq backing in with 350 lbs ? he wouldn't. Wilt and Russell , those two (before Kareem and if you watch the old videos all over KZread) wilt looked like a GIANT compared to the other players. Would wilt score a 100pts in Jordan's generation? HELL NO NOT EVEN CLOSE. Kareem was great but can you imagine him playing against all those centers i just mentioned. Would HE have had the same stats? NO he wouldn't. Lebron, playing in Jordan's physical generation of basketball, would he put up the same stats as he does now in a soft league and where if you sneeze its a foul? NO he wouldn't. BUT, if you put Jordan in current times, we all know what would happen. I don't mean to sound harsh, i just deal with facts over emotions and opinions.

Its all facts! No lies 💪🏽

Michael to Leflop. . .As long as i'm MJ you will have to live in my shadow.

I'm pretty sure you can mix the audio of the video as well as your own so that they're kind of equal, so you don't have to turn it all the way up just to hear the video but then you have your comments coming in at 1000% volume.

Draft Michael because he can win with pieces he didn’t have a say in.

5:10. Horry got 7 rings, but no league MVPs, Finals MVPs, all star games, or Olympics. Not the GOAT lol. However, when it comes to winning, he’s arguably more valuable than an all star like Westbrook. It’s crazy but true. Horry was a great role player.

True

You cannot put LeBron James on your Mount Rushmore over Kobe, five championships versus 3 1/2, LeBron has only scored over 60 points one time, Kobe Bryant has more scoring titles, more more finals titles, and let’s not forget the second best scoring performance of all time. On two separate occasions Kobe Bryant has out scored the opposing team by himself. The only reason LeBron has more MVPs, is because BronSexual moby Smoochers like Nick Wright, Shannon Sharp, and Rachel Nichols have been key voters. You can put him on there next to Kobe, but you can’t put him on there over Kobe. Kobe never had to have a bubble to win a championship, and Kobe‘s worst season was nowhere near as atrocious as this past season was off of the team that LeBron constructed. Kobe has beaten more 50+ win teams than LeBron in a tougher conference. Personally as weak as this era is I can’t even put LeBron on my Mount Rushmore. Adam Silver has done everything but lower the hoop 2 feet and shorten the court 20 to help LeBron push past most of these players. In fact if you were to switch Scottie Pippen and LeBron James Era‘s i’m pretty sure the fan base would be trying to put Pippen in the goat conversation, in fact I know they would because Pip it is a far better defender than LeBron ever dreamed about being. In fact with is shooting intensive as this era is, I am dead sure that if you had Larry Bird or Reggie Miller they would probably be on 73 wind teams and arguably the best shooters of all time over Curry. I would love to see this guys analytics comparing Magic Johnson, Larry Bird or the guy who is scoring record LeBron is going after in Kareem Abdul Jabbar to LeBron just to show you how insignificant he really is. Nobody has ever had it as easy as LeBron ever has.

Bill, wilt and Lebron not on my mount Rushmore. Awesome video with nothing but facts. MJ is simply the Goat. :) and this was never a debate for me. I've watched both them play in their prime. Lebron not on MJs level. no one is. Good reaction bud. Glad to see young dudes learning and knowing about MJ.

Wilt imo is overrated. Just a tall athletic guy playing in the weakest era of all time. Nun special. I could go to the 60s and score tons since I'm more skilled than a 60s player. Bill got 11 rings but thats all i count for him since there were like 10 teams.

@@ChrisCanHoop You are partly right, but the rulebook states these things on traveling. Once a pivot foot is established, if you pick it up, it is considered one step. Your next move after that must be a pass or shot attempt. Essentially, it is 1 1/2 steps. Anything beyond that is (or was) called traveling. Announcer Chich Hearn called it "taking a bunny hop through the pea patch." The exception to this is catching the ball while running. Once caught, you have two steps to establish a pivot foot, or to pass and shoot. the same 1 1/2 step rule applies. If you seek to pass or shoot while on the fly, you, at that point, have 3 1/2 steps.

@@ChrisCanHoop Well, it's the catching the ball on the fly part where things get sketchy on whether or not to blow the whistle. If you are a good player, you can greatly take advantage of that and pull off some highlight reel stuff. However, in my day, they were tighter on traveling. Nowadays, a travel call is like sighting a unicorn. I've watched some shots were I guy clearly takes five or six steps, and I think, "Um, Mr. Ref, that thing in your hand is called a whistle. You're supposed to blow it on infractions as well as fouls? Right?" (Hey, to be fair, I've seen a Larry Bird highlight were her posterize dunked a center, and it was clear he took about five steps and should have been called!)

Jordan >>>>>>>

One other thing that isn’t even mentioned in this video is the difference of the eastern conference between the 90s and the time that LeBron played in it. Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic were not anywhere near as hard to get through as the 1980s Boston Celtics, the bad boy, pistons, Reggie Miller and the Pacers, don’t listen to Gilbert Arenas. He has a biased or he’s flat out being paid like everyone else to say that the 90s were soft. also they never once touching the video about the amount of All-Star and Hall of Fame help that LeBron had versus the amount of help that Jordan had. So he did a good job with proving that Michael was the goat without even bringing up those two things.

Since you brought up bird vs durant. Outside ppg bird is better in every other category. Lets also take into account larry player half his career with a broken back. Yet he was only 3 ppg below durant because he was unselfish and a team player.
