The Phoenix Sun were a excellent team , you should check them out!! It is obvious you haven’t!! The Seattle Super Sonics were a excellent team the Detroit Pistons we’re running thru teams ! The reason why they beat the bulls initially was because Pipen and Horace Grant were so inconsistent and Jordan was on there case to improve and the Piston were beating them up to a point it was pretty much illegal!!! The bull’s should of won the series the year before they won the championship! In that game Pipin suddenly Khadijah a migraine, which Jordan had a fit!!!!! Jordan made Grant and pipen strong and made them take responsibility!!!!!! The Boston Celtic were a great team but when Jordan played them he was the only one on the team!!! Jordan always was double teamed he never head another player that was also double teamed !!! Lebron shy away from contact in the 4th quarter because of his free throws percentage was so terrible!! He always avoided shooting if he could!!! Albert Enstien was a GENIUS!!!!! Michael was good at everything !!! People passing , free throws blocking , stealing , shooting , layups !!!!! They say may the right play . When you take the shoot or pass and you win isn’t that the point , to when!!! Not pass it to avoid going to the foul line because you might miss it! Even if you go back and listen to the player , sport caster’s there were many people who weren’t sure the bull’s were going to when but The things that Jordan did made people into believer’s Seattle , Portland , Pacer’s and many more team’s felt like they were better and some of them felt that way even after they were beaten by the Bulls!!!! If you watch all the games and they showed the coaches they looked defeated because they tried everything! When Jordan was beaten by the Celtics Larry Bird said it was god playing Michael Jordan and that was before Pipen and Grant , look at the rooster!!!! Coaches, sport casters, fans, player’s! Isaiah said they didn’t know what to do! The Bulls swept them that year! The last thing if you look at even half of the games most of them were close bot at the end the bulls would come back and at the end Michael Jordan time, and everybody in the world new it. !! The league at that time was playing football not even close to what it was now!!!! There is so much more why he is better!!! That is why Kolbe is so good !!!and they would alway back that shit up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm old enough to have watched both Bird and MJ in their prime and being from Chicago I do have my favorite, however Bird is my second choice, if I was building my greatest of all time team. Both players could beat you both physically and mentally on the court, they were assassins. I would have loved to see the 72 win Bulls team go up against the Bird Gang, that would be a very interesting series. The question no every asks with the LB vs. MJ debate is, could LB have averaged his numbers in MJ's NBA? Back then Jordan was basically assaulted every time he drove the lane, now imagine MJ playing in today's NBA where you can't even put a hand on a guy or it's a foul.

I agree with most of what you say, I just don’t believe Lebron is great. This is a guy who has quit on his teams repeatedly. Travels almost every time he puts his hands on the ball. Doesn’t even try to play defence. He flops like a European soccer player and he plays in an era where there are more uncontested drives to the basket happen more often in a game than Rodman changed his hair colour in a season. There is way too much emphasis placed on Lebron’s supposed offensive capabilities and not nearly enough placed on the rest of his game or lack of….

While I consider Jordan the undisputed GOAT, I do think Kobe is a lot closer to him than Leflop James. Lebron is the most overrated player in history in my book.

How can a player like that be in the GOAT conversation at all?? How can a player who isn’t even the greatest small forward in NBA history be the greatest ever?

LeBron is the king of flop in an era where everything is a foul to begin with. Jordan averaged 30 points a game in the rough and tumble nineties in a league that allowed hand checking. Despite the hand checking Jordan managed to win 10 scoring titles compared to Lebrons 1. LeBron would have been man handled by people like Ewing and Rodman if he player during the Jordan era. Lebron has zero killer instinct and has said numerous years he would participate in the dunk contest just to bail out early the following year every single time simply because he was afraid of losing. Jordan won back to back slam dunk contests. "The decision" just made him look like an even bigger jerk before he made it even worse by proclaiming himself the greatest ever which made everyone cringe including his agent. If LeBron was truly the greatest he wouldn't ever have to say it just like Jordan never has. Lebron can dish it out bit he can't take it. The first game after Lebron came back from a suspension for elbowing Stewart he was in Indiana and a woman was heckling him. Lebron couldn't handle it so he had the woman ejected proving what we already know, that hes a big cry baby. LeBron has acted like a jerk his entire career and no one but him and his girlfriend Shannon Sharpe thinks 4-6 is better then 6-0 in the finals. And let's not forget, "not 1, not 2, not 3." Instead of taking leadership he would rather make excuses just like all of his fellow LeBronians. Jordan never made excuses or ever said he was the best because he let his career speak for itself. LeBron has the most turnovers in league history and he's still padding that stat. If LeBron wanted to be the best ever then he should have played defense or at least act like he was at least trying to. Lebron would rather throw cheap elbows then play defense. The only thing that caught fire in his career is his Jerseys from fans who got fed up of the childish ways he handles situations. I myself tried to root for him multiple times but every single time he has let me down with his ignorance and immaturity. I still remember when LeBron and Dwayne Wade fake coughed at Dirk to make fun of him for being sick just to lose to him and the Mavericks in the NBA Finals. Here's what LeBron said about NBA fans after his loss to the Mavericks in 2011. "At the end of the day, all the people who want to see me fail, they gotta wake up tomorrow and have the same life they had when they woke up today. Same personal problems they had today. I am going to continue to live and do the things I want to do and be happy with that." How can you root for a guy like that? LeBron has yet to pass Kobe who was a better athlete and by the way has 5 rings. LeBronians need to pump their brakes permanently on this discussion. LeBron thinks winning a series against a team with a suspended Draymond and an unhealthy Steph Curry cements him in as the GOAT, lol! The only thing LeBron has in common with the GOAT is the number he chose to copy and wear on his back. LeBron is not chasing a ghost in Chicago, LeBron is being haunted by all the stupid decisions he made in the past. The most unbelievable fact about LeBron's career is that he actually found a way to make an even worse Space Jam movie then the first. When the Kyle Rittenhouse trial was going on LeBron tweeted a video of him mocking Kyle for crying which made himself look like a jerk once again and how can we forget the time when LeBron spoke up about the Hong Kong protests. Lebron being LeBron actually took the side of the Chinese government and proved that he cares more about money then people. Just think how great LeBron could have been if he had just learned how to get out of his own selfish, narcissistic way.

He’s very good and has been for a long time, but the 🐐 title will never be his. This video is clear and accurately so, that Jordan was better than anyone who came before him or since.

Agreed. There was no debate back then. People who watched Jordan all agreed he was the goat.

Three things always stick out to me with the Jordan Lebron debate: 1. Can’t leave out career stats when talking about other career stats. At the end of his career Lebron will be the all time leader in points. But he is already the all time leader in turnovers - giving the opposing team possessions. Jordan isn’t even in the top 30. I think this is due to Jordans ability to play in a system and not dominate the ball every possession. 2. The 2011 Finals. He got outplayed by role players on the Mavericks. And he was the third best player on his own team. I think this also points to me previous point that Lebron cannot play in a on offense where he has the ball all the time. 3. Jordan played with one other All Star in his prime - Pippen. When Lebron went to Miami he was the Cleveland’s franchise player. He took Toronto’s franchise player, Bosh. And they joined another franchise player, Wade. They watered down the Eastern conference. Of course they got to the Finals four years in a row. Then he joined to other franchise players - Irving and Love. Now he teams with Anthony Davis.

Well he blew a 21 point lead to Orlando and lost by one point. Going on to lose the series and he was favored to win since you know he had the better record. MJ was never favored to beat the Pistons especially after they were 2 time champions. Boston was old as hell and LBJ was favored to beat them as well but he checked out cause INSERT REASONS HERE! Blew the series and packed his bags for Miami! But MJ beat the Pistons cause they got old right. Well facts every player on the Pistons team was younger then KG, Ray, and Paul so why didn't he win as the favorites against an older team then MJ faced??? And because LBJ couldn't get his shit together we never got to see him and Kobe in the finals like the Puppet Commercials promised damn it!

Now thats not to say that Scottie wasnt an allstar caliber player because he made it in 89-90 then again from 91-97 so missing those 2 years means nothing to me. But LeBron fans love to use that narrative to discredit Love and Kyrie because they didnt make the allstar team during certain years.

That 92-93 Phoenix team was for real. Sir Charles was in the best shape of his life, had won the MVP that season, and lead his team to the best regular season record that season.

Ppl that love Bird by watching or cheering him on seem to fully understand as great as Larry was, and he was great..most of it doesn't make any sense..yes he was 6'9 but we all know him dominating the league is very hard to explain. Because yes, he was slow, couldn't really jump..virtually everything you wanna say is likely true but he got 35pts last night w 10 boards and 12 assist. It probably drove his opponents crazier than the fans. The physical gifts of MJ and the difference between the too is far beyond obvious..Larry couldn't dream of MJ's aerial game in the 80's and early 90's. Yet MJ couldn't beat him when Larry dominated the league. I wouldn't have considered MJ over Larry for a late game shot probably until the early to mid 90's..Larry was just lights out..had it..MJ always had it..but you b have to play long c enough and hit enough of those big ones in big situations to be on or surpass Larry in that last shot area.

"Hustle" really should be a category in the goat debate. No matter how *phenomenal* you are, I don't think you deserve the title is you half-ass it when you don't feel like it. Dedication should be a goat attribute. If "Longevity", which really has nothing to do with talent, is a category, Dedication definitely should be.

They'd get wrecked in the paint, they just don't have enough big bodies to compete in there. I like Draymond, but he'd need to provide Rodman-level defense On the other hand, I could definitely see the Celtics being coached into today's playing style, with the main difference being that they probably wouldn't start Parish and McHale together, but use them alternatively with Larry as stretch-4 or all-around 3.

For the face off with Barkley, I dont actually remember but if this was like 91 or 92, it could very well have been close. Barkley is a severely underrated player. He's not on Michael's level obviously but he is a Hall of Famer and deserves to be one. He was also on the Dream Team with Jordan, Magic and Bird.

I really started following the Heat when they got Wade. I always noticed that Bron would shy away from contract at the end in close games. He’ll drive just to kick out after he spent the last 10 minutes forcing and dominating at the rim. When Dallas won he passed it out multiple times when he was in the post and had small guard JJ Berrea on him. And you see how the Spurs handled him in the clutch. Lucky 2nd ring. Should’ve been 1 out of 4 title trips.

I would rather be good at many things rather than great at a couple of things because in a 5 on 5 game of basketball = your team may need you to fill gaps and help in a variety of ways in order to compete and to win a game - depending on the match ups of the 5 vs 5. As far as the 86 Celts vs the GS Warriors = that is a tough call, but if I had to choose I think I would choose the 86 Celts as that team could play any style needed and given time could make adjustments to the "3-ball" era of today IMO. Also FYI the 86 Celts had a player named Scott Wedman who was Bird's back up. Wedman on any other team would have been a starter. Wedman should get the best unsung teammate award! For instance in game 1 of the 85 Finals vs LA, Wedman came in to give Bird a rest and ended up making all 15 shots of the 15 he attempted. He was another sharp shooter on that 86 team that nobody remembers!!! I am not a Lebron hater at all but have always had Jordan as the #1 player and Bird as my favorite because of his all around skills and ability to lead his teammates by caring about them and getting them involved. Look at what Bird did at the small ISU college team! Love your videos.

MJ could do everything he could've passed the ball more or played point gaurd but here is the thing sometimes doing everything instead of focusing on 1 thing hurts your team more than it helps! Scottie was more effective with the ball, MJ could be effective without it so he allowed Scottie to become the main ball handler so he could maximize his effectiveness and he developed into one of the top 75 players in NBA history while playing with the greatest player ever for most of his career! Isnt that leadership. He focused on his role! Played good defense got out on the break and scored when he needed too! That is what the shooting gaurd does! As a result they won 6 championships! The way LBJ plays effects role players more than anything! A superstar can create there own shot, play off the ball and take over when neccessary but role players, play there ROLE! Thats why LBJ loses without superstars! A point gaurd is supposed to distribute the ball but LBJ does that! Big men are suppose to rebound and post up but LBJ needs the lane clear so they became shooters and as a result weren't able to grab offensive rebounds or be where they are most effective on the court! Where as Dennis was able to focus solely on his position, playing defense and rebounding, since MJ scored so much he never had to focus on anything else, he lead the league in rebounds and is again consider one of the top 75 greatest players of all time. Not doing something doesn't mean you can't MJ averaged 11assists in his first NBA finals more than LBJ ever has! He raised his level of play on both sides of the floor when Scottie was dealing with back problems in 98! He was brutal in the way he motivated them in practice but every player was ready to preform in big moments. Kerr knocking down open shots, Toni who had his best scoring seasons with MJ became a HOF and six man of the year! His dominance at his position allowed everyone to shine in there own roles! And it took nothing away from them even though he was so dominant in scoring because that was his role! If LBJ was going to play point gaurd then why the hell is Kyrie here? If Love and Bosh are not gonna post up or be in the paint to rebound effectively why are they on the team? IDK if you watched Love in Minnesota but he grabbed so many offensive rebounds that he was averaging 20 and 20 at one point there. LBJ forces everyone into positions they don't play and then everyone blames them when they don't win! No other superstar in the history of the NBA has ever done that! That's why his stats are amazing but his team can't win! The best example I can give is the LA Lakers team that he shredded! Lonzo is a pass first defensive PG he is not a spot up shooter LBJ needed the ball and Lonzo became usless on offense. Ingram is a shooting SF who works well on and off the ball but needs to get going early or he's less effective down the stretch, Kuzma is a defensive slasher but he can't go to the paint because LBJ needs the lane open. Ruzo is a defensive nightmare and a decent shooter! Every player got better once they no longer played with LBJ! Every single one including Randall in NY. Ruzo and Lonzo helped lead the Bulls to the top of the East and Kuzma is doing much better in Washington! Ingram was playing well for the Pelicans. LBJ killed thier confidence by not letting them play their positions, then leaked the news they would trade anyone for AD and as a result they stopped covering for LBJ on defense and the team was demolished every night. Now they are all playing extremely well! Is that a coincidence? That all five of them have gotten significantly better without LBJ mean while Wesbrook is stinking up the place and AD is out so LBJ and the Lakers are losing. I'm just saying if I'm wrong let me know because that's just what I see! Larry was different because Larry could shoot. He didn't need the paint open to, he was clever rebounder and fantastic passer that's why I loved him! Im my opinion he is a far better SF then LBJ. SF are suppose to do a little of everything and Larry did it perfectly he rebounded, shot open shots, found the open guy and he was effective from anywhere on the floor! He could adapt to whatever the team needed LBJ WON'T , NOT CAN'T WON'T!

I'm Bird Gang. I'm Magic Gang. I'm Jordon Gang. Unless you're from one of the players cities, you loved all three. Lebron isn't worthy to be their water boy. He doesn't have their heart.

I can see him stopping Rose, but not Parker: Rose was quite similar to him, playing with a lot of emphasys on athleticism, and that's a good match-up. Parker on the other hand, while not having that vertical, was still incredibly nimble and agile, and looked more to pass it, rather than scoring it. Plus, Parker was used to be the smaller man in most match-ups. Plus, while talking about 2011, he was the only player, besides maybe Bosh, who had a chance to stop Dirk physically, but stayed on Terry and Barea and struggled against them, much like against Parker. The Heat's issue was that they didn't have a 4 to put on Dirk: Haslem was too short/slow, Anthony was too slow, Bosh was not a good enough defender, they even put DWade on him for a couple of possessions... too short. Lebron, maybe the only one who could have had a chance physically, albeit giving up about 5", completely refused that matchup, and rarely even made an effort to help out on Dirk.

He didn’t stop anything, he guarded Rose in the final few moments. The entire time he was trapping Rose with multiple defenders. Rose was on his own being doubles and tripled unlike Bron, Wade and Bosh who you couldn’t because it would leave one of the 3 open. His shutting down Rose is all false, just a narrative that if anyone watched the series saw how it really went.

10:16t back then during the finals series, Charles Barclay said that he really first realized there was a better basketball player than himself when he played against Jordan in the finals series.

And I acknowledge MJ got awards in the 80s but he also dominated awards in the 90's! MVPs Championships Finals MVPs first team all defense and nba scoring titles you get the picture. And everyone says it was like he was just faster then everbody else like no one can stop him, he didn't have no competition, I be like thank you I know he made it look easy and that is the most competitive Era of basketball! Then they say but LBJ gotta deal with all these other players in the league and it is so much more talent now. I be like bro that is some backwards thinking aint it MJ was so good there is nobody else to mention. But LBJ is so good because we can name half the NBA that beat him??? Like really what is the best thing he did that can't be contributed to him playing so long? He won a title with a franchise that hadn't won before but so did Kawhi! He had the Miami Heat but the Warriors win that one! He got 2 MVP's but so did KD and Curry!

The same can be seen in the number of single-game 3-point records broken over the past few years, both in the regular season and the playoffs.

That being said , I was never a hard core Kobe fan but , I never looked passed his talent , basketball IQ & especially that MAMBA 🐍 mentality . He was definitely great in his own lane . I feel as if they (fans of LJ & certain sports castors) are tryin to get MJ out of conversation and replace it with LeBron... and , I'm sorry but that's just not gonna happen ! It's like takin hot wings out of the conversation of the best thing to eat while watchin sports . 🤦🏽 SMH - also MJ NEVER said he was the goat of basketball , all he ever said was he deserved to be in the NBA to show his talent and what he could do . Fans and his peers are the ones who say he's the best player and the goat , not him . And honestly , LeBron sayin that moment made him the greatest of all time is not only cringe but that and among other things has made me lose respect for him . I don't care if he surpasses everyone that has ever played in the league , he will NEVER hold the status of or above MJ . Celtics >>> Warriors 1985-86 season for Boston was insane for that era and the warriors are great in their own right , however , Celtics had D . Ainge , R . Parish , K . McHale , D . Johnson & B .

@@HenDawgTV triple ot game 5, John Paxon game winner for Bulls. It had it all.

I got you bro, LBJ only has one scoring title because KD, Curry, Harden all those guys are better more efficient scorers from outside the paint where as LBJ is most effective when at the rim as a result they all be winning scoring titles over him even though he scores alot! As far as the most points all time yes he will pass everyone because unlike KD or Curry he never had a major injury to keep him out from playing! So he will finish with a 20 plus year career where he scored in the top of the league but was never the best and the players that were the best missed significant time so they have less opportunities to go after the scoring all time record! Every player at the top of the all time scoring list were 19-20 year players who didn't suffer any major injuries or in Kobe case suffered an injury later on in his career but was such a good scorer he still passed MJ! Except MJ, MJ had 2 major injuries that kept him out most of 2 seasons and he had the comeback season with 17 games. His career lasted 15 years but he only actually played 11 full seasons with the Bulls and 1 full season with the Wizards and still made the top 5 all time scoring list because he was just that good! It's a longevity record it doesn't mean he is better or even the best it means he was good enough for a longer period of time and stayed healthy. Its why I could care less if he breaks the record its impressive but it doesn't put you in GOAT status. Same for all career totals every player with the most career anything just played forever and was kind good but not really great. Take Magic without a doubt the best passer in NBA history he racked up assists like MJ racked up points but his career was short. John Stockton has the most assists all time has anyone ever called him the greatest passer of all time?

About Charles Barkley and the Suns. In 93 the Suns had the best record in the NBA and Charles Barkley got the MVP. The Bulls on the other hand looked a little bit tired, mentally and physically, probably because both Jordan and Pippen spend the summer playing with the legendary "Dream Team" in the Barcelona Olympic Games. The Bulls didn't even have the best record in the east that year. The Knicks were the team to beat in the east and when they won the first two games against the Bulls in the eastern cinference finals many people thought that this is the end of the Bulls dynasty. It was some sort of a surprise that the Bulls then went on to win 4 straight games against the Knicks including the infamous "Charles Smith" game" (in my opinion the greatest game of the 90s). As I recall it the Suns were slight favorites going into game 1 of the NBA finals. Charles Barkley was at the peak of his powers and the Bulls seemed to be vulnerable. However, these were probably Jordan's best NBA finals and the Suns were not ready for him. As Jordan said in the last dance he wanted to make a point because they made Charles Barkley the MVP. With the tip off it was obvious that the Bulls were the better team. Actually, I think that the Bulls should have swept them but the Suns fought very hard and grinded out two victories scratching and clawing (including on ein triple overtime) and went down swinging in 6 games. All the games were great two watch. It was very similar to the Bulls 98 championship. You could see that during the regular season the Bulls were no longer the most dominant team but come playoff time, Jordan, who felt disrespected because he wasn't the MVP, switched to another gear. In general one thing that seperated Jordan from the rest was that in the playoffs against better teams he played even better than in the regular season.

That was in 1993 when the Phoenix Suns lost to the Bulls I remember Charles Barkley saying God told him they was go win the championship I remember that I was 8 in 93

I really enjoyed this reaction video. I've been labeled a LeBron hater. Truth does not have feelings. If I say LeBron is not as good as MJ. Even if I am unable to break it down like they did in this video. I watched MJ play. I'm a Rockets fan and I was ecstatic when Jordan retired, but deep down the chips the Rockets have come with an asterisk because Jordan was out for those 1-1/2 years. Jordan was just on another level. No two ways about it. Thanks for the reaction video btw the guy in the gray shirt cracked me up when he said him being a Jordan fan and this video made him kind of mad too. That's the biggest way to prove Jordan's dominance. When he was playing and at his best no one else was going to have a chance to win.

Interesting little caveat Lebrons finals opponents has actually dropped after the Heat finals in the bubble..its now 59.1

Nice reaction. I like to address the Suns team. You are too young to know but I can tell you, I'm an MJ and Bulls fan and I remeber the 93 finals very well, actually that's the first time I've ever saw an NBA final, I was 13 and in Italy the NBA before 92 Olympics was not very popular. Anyway, all 6 finals series were pretty close, the other teams were very very good, after these many years people think like as if Barkley was the only player on his team against the Bulls or Clyde was the only player against the Bulls etc and that's why MJ won in 6, but actually that Phoenix team in particular was outstanding and they were always one of the best team in the league even before Barlkey went to play there and they could have won that searies, if it wasn't for MJ. Everyone remember that last shot by Paxon, but actually in the whole 4th quarter those where the only 2 points scored by the Bulls by anyone other than MJ, so at least the Bulls were at risk of a game 7 in Phoenix and that would be very hard as the Suns would have been pumped up by the home court and that's true for most of the 6 finals besides 1991 with the Lakers and 96 with the Sonics. If you got time, I suggest to anyone to watch all those series if you really want to appreciate how the 90s NBA was and how really good MJ was other than some top plays videos on youtube!

He said at the end of games not the fourth quarter. I'm thinking that means the last 2 minutes.

Trying to answer your questions, that weren't already answered in the video... 1.) The reason why Lebron has more points than Jordan, is because even though Jordan averaged 30+/game for 11 years + whatever he scored as a Wizard, Lebron averaged 27+ for 17+ seasons he's played. Jordan's high scoring average skyrocketed him into the total points leader list quicker than anyone. 2.) The Suns had a better record than the Bulls that season by ~20 games... and Charles Barkley was the season MVP. MJ losing the MVP really gave MJ motivation to smother Barkley's hopes. 3.) Which rules are you using for your theoretical Celtics vs Warriors? If you allow hand checking, they're beating the Warriors... those guys won't be friendly with the Warriors. If there's no hand checking, then probably the Warriors with their youth. 4.) Bill Russell's Celtics won 8 consecutive, I believe. 5.) The reason why the analytics favor Jordan so much, is because Jordan played offense AND defense... all game, every game. 6.) Jordan thrived on contact. He didn't need to shoot 3-pointers. I'd be willing to bet he's got more 3-point plays by making a bucket and the foul... than most 3-point shooters have made in their career. BTW... I agree that Kobe is ahead of Lebron. Give me Shaq, Rodman, Pippen, Kobe, and Jordan as a point guard... and you got my Rushmore. Point guard Jordan is even more impressive.

Rodman and Pippen are two of the best role players ever. Imo, Rodman's skill set included in any all-time team makes them better, he provides so many extra shots for superstar scorers and can lock down the other team's best player. In today's game his complete lack of floor spacing would be a big liability though. Judging Pippen's greatness might be harder than anyone else ever, he was never given the opportunity to truly lead a team. Love those guys but i couldn't put them on my mount Rushmore, gotta be the best player on their team first.

what era are they playing in? in todays super soft no D era, I'll take the warriors; go back to the 80's rule set, and they aren't in the finals, let alone ever beating that Celt's team. It's almost unfair to compare bc neither team has their rosters based on the different rulesets. Stats and analytics only work if you use them like this person did, as a whole, not cherry picking 1 or 2, same w/stats. Stats don't work if you ignore some while using others. The reason MJ ranks so high on these analytics, and same for Lebron being a close 2nd, is that they both dominate the ball, the O goes through them. Add in that MJ never took time off or time to rest on def. He made sure whoever he was guarding wasn't going to have a good game that day.

my two favourite all-time teams are, in order: jordan's bulls (with rodman) the detroit pistons of around 2002. with the no superstar roster that whooped the lakers superteam.

What do you mean what does that say? It says he skipped college when every other super star had to go to college and waste part of their prime years. He is also a stat stuffer who has been chasing numbers his whole career rather than trying to win every time

I'm curious if you work in basketball stat tracking how have you not heard of these categories?

I don't recall ever seeing MJ shy away from pressure, give up on his team, or pout and stop playing defense. Forget stats, accomplishments, ect. You take MJ for his mental toughness alone over Lebron. If Lebron had the mentality of a MJ, Kobe, Bird, ect. He may just be the best player of all time by far. Bill Russell won 8 straight titles. I have a million counter arguments to the "weak era" and such misconceptions, but you should check out Bill's Making The Case 😉I will keep requesting till you make it there haha. It will help open your eyes to why Bill is the GOAT. It's very well done with only a couple mistakes to Bill's athleticism. #bleedgreengang

Bill is great but they didn't play as much back then! There was like 10 teams and 3 playoff rounds. Im not saying it was easy but damn it has to be harder with 82 games, more teams, more travel and all that. I like the making the case series and I like how he layed it out but I always had the utmost respect for Russell and Wilt, all that they cant play in this Era stuff kill me because great players find a way to be great regardless of rules. So I do believe he could play in any Era but MJ had 2 three peats in the modern Era the Era with the toughest competition thats tough!

Yes, the '93 Suns were "a Team of Destiny." Absolutely EVERY Suns fan believed, the Suns DEFINITELY believed, and a lot of people around the league believed that the Phoenix Suns could be the team to bring down the Bulls. Sir Charles won the MVP trophy that year. So there ya go.

Makes sense

I'll take the 86 Celtics. Today's players are AMAZING. But, they don't take the same beating. The ability to overcome that 80s/90s kind of physicality is more impressive to me.

That 72 win Bulls team is the greatest squad ever. That squad not only put points on the board but could clamp anyone. All time lowest score in the Finals is cuz of that Bulls squad.

No former great player has EVER said they were the greatest!!! Even "The Great One" has never made that claim, even though there's no question that he's the greatest to play hockey. Also, The Suns were the best team in the league(record wise), and Barkley was the MVP. They actually were one of the first teams to shoot the 3 at a higher clip. So yes, they could've won the series.

No former great player had to demand respect it was freely given! I really do wonder how the next generation will view LBJ? He is an anomaly in history and I wonder if that would be considered greatness when in reality it is a weird bunch of nonsense that I Witnessed. 🤣🤣🤣 If Antetokounmpo is the next generation then we may be going back to building Dynasties from the ground up and how did he put it winning it the right way! If so LBJ will be the biggest anomaly in NBA history!

@@letarivera203 How is being considered the 2nd greatest player of all time by many(not me) disrespectful? He's a great player...he's just not MJ.

This is true, cause truthfully Gretzky is the Goatiest Goat of all Goats...unless you count racquetball which has Wesleunchuk or however you spell his name who has only lost like 5 times in last 10 years or something crazy.

If you don't know winshares, PER, value over replacement, etc, you don't know many of the common analytics. These are the standard analytics used to compare players. And, MJ was just a damn monster. The stats aren't made for him.

Mt. Rushmore: KAREEM. High school, college, pros, the championships, the accolades, the points… he cannot NOT be on there. MICHAEL JEFFREY JORDAN. GOAT. (Almost) no debate. BIRD/MAGIC. You have to take both as one. Neither would exist without the other. They LITERALLY saved the entire NBA. Literally. Who else can say that? WILT. I mean, a force of frickin’ nature. Wouldn’t say, “freak” but his presence was almost scary. 100 points in a single game. TOSS UP. So many players could compete and knock out one another on any given day with any given argument. Pick one: Duncan, Lebron, Kobe, Shaq… it’s nearly endless.

If you're great at 2 things, you're a role player. If you're just good at everything, you're a bench warmer. The trick is to be great at a lot of things, so that you can exploit your opponents' weaknesses.
