MJ did it on BOTH ends of the court. He got a DPOTY, while also getting a scoring title, led the league in steals 3x, was the fastest to 100 steals & 100 blocks by a guard, and had 9 all defensive first team selections. Because of rules changes & play style changes throughout the years, you pretty much have to break down the GOATS into their respective eras. Like LBJ is the goat of this era, MJ was the goat of his era, Kareem was the goat of his era, etc…

@@Femitoodrippy I'm a fan of both MJ and Lebron. I've had the privilege of seeing both live - Lebron mulitple times. Basketball is simple. Score the basket. Stop your other opponents from scoring. Jordan played 13 seasons with the Bulls (13 minus second season with broken foot and more than half the season he was playing baseball) 11.5 seasons. 10 scoring titles, 9 All Defensive First Teams meaning he was the best defender at his position. This included leading the league in steals 3x - stopping other teams possessions. Xs and Os - Jordan could be ball dominant and play off ball in a system like the triangle. lebron is a tremendous talent but he can’t play in a system. He dribbled the ball for 15 seconds for a pick and roll for a weak defender then drives for a layup or a pass to a shooter. With Lebron he never plays well with a point guard cause he needs the ball. He can’t play with true bigs cause he needs the paint open. Bigs become catch and shoot guys. And as a fan, I cannot explain Lebron disappearing against Boston in 2010 and Dallas in 2011. In his second year, gm2 against Boston MJ wanted to be on the line to hit clutch free throws to send it into overtime with a chance to win. Also the final 3-peat - he played all 82 games all three of those years. His last year with the Wizards - he played all 82 games. He never cheated anyone who paid to see him. That’s why between the two I’d say Jordan.

🎯💯 let these casuals who only look at stats and youtube clips talk that junk. Those of us who saw Mj play night in and night out know whats up. This is coming from a Knicks fan, Jordan is the best, period, by any standard of measure. Bob Cousy i think described it best, "Michael Jordan is the Mona Lisa of basketball".

Sorry, but as a person that is from Chicago and has watched MJ from the beginning, I have to tell you that MJ WOULD NOT have struggled in this era....at all. He was way ahead of his time with his style of play. That is why he made guys look like they were standing still. Listen to all of the legends that played against him. This era of ball works in MJ's favor. A prime MJ was EXTREMELY quick. MJ of the late 80s would jump out of the gym. The MJ of the 1990s became a smarter player. Don't forget, MJ played with the Wizards in the early 2000s. Even then, he was STILL putting up numbers! MJ has an exceptionally high basketball IQ. You don't think having that, along with extreme competitiveness coupled with an almost psychotic killer instinct wouldn't put him in the highest ranks? The reason why you have so many of us coming at you young folks is that 1.) Most of you do not know or study Michael's career in depth, then you make assessments based on little to no information. 2.) Those of us that were around to see MJ play KNOW what he's done and are SHOCKED when we hear such outrageous claims. 3.) Many of you cannot except that maybe the greatest player ever WAS NOT in your era. **You may have seen Lebron or Kobe do those moves, but WHERE do you think they came from?? So when I hear you say that, I just think you are finding a way to minimize what MJ was doing. To me, that's just being petty. The fact that reactors like yourself don't know WHY he wore the number 45 pretty much makes my case that you don't know his career well enough to be critical. Warriors had 73-9, but what happened to them in the finals?? 73-9 is cool, but 72-10 has a RING to it...

No. Also, back in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, you had to be a MAN to withstand the rigors of the NBA.

Everybody just wants to shoot 3s. Back in the day you could get close-lined and the refs would look at you and laugh. Now, you might get a flagrant 2 for giving an opponent the side-eye. I hope they keep Kleenex tissues at the scorer's table for all the crying.🤣 I'm pretty sure Lebron could have played during those early eras, BUT he would NOT be dominant vs a prime Shaq, Wilt, Moses, Maurice Lucas, Dave Cowens, Unseld, Olajuwon, Barkley, the BAD Boys of Detroit, Magic, Boston's Big 3, and many, MANY more.

Lebron would've tapped out in the 80's and 90's. Rick Mahorn, Bill Laimbeer and Dennis Rodman would have sent him to therapy.

Every game he played all out.

What made MJ great were his actual skills. His footwork was immaculate, his movement without the ball was so effective. The way he dismissed double teams was brilliant. And he did it all with fluidity and grace. MJ could go on a massive scoring run any time he wanted, but there were also times where his scoring was so spaced out and within the offense that you'd be surprised at the end of the game just how much he scored. This is how proficient he was : In his last year with the Bulls, MJ averaged holding the ball for just 3 mins 45 seconds per game and still scored a little under 30 a game. So each quarter he held the ball for just a little over 56 seconds. Incredible. MJ dominated in the toughest defensive era in NBA history.

Blessed to have grown up watching this man. No one will ever understand without going back and watching games. He was a gamer. He was built differently from any athlete ive ever seen. This mixtape doesnt do what he was justice.

Watching Bron is like watching a big stiff stick figure that does a bunch of tomahawk dunks. Shit is boring.

You mentioned how people are more versatile in this era. That is true, and it has its pros and cons. A positionless era in basketball is good in terms of the element of surprise, but it also makes the league uniform and stale since no one has a specialty anymore. It's also really rare for players to succeed without focusing a lot of effort into mastering their own style of play. Curry, Giannis and LeBron all have different styles of play unique to them which makes them both exciting to watch and successful in winning games. So having the more "predictable" position-based era in Jordan's career isn't exactly a bad thing. And in terms of talent, I believe the past and present eras are equal. Just different. No one rebounds or plays defense the same way Rodman does anymore. Does that mean this era is less talented in defense than Rodman's era? No. These players from different eras are just built different for different games.

I saw both mj and lj many times live and the biggest difference in my mind and it was an obvious difference is that mj played all out every second of every game as hard as he could win or lose on defense too. He never coasted or played defense a little lazy. You stood the entire game because you knew you were going to see some shit.

Bulls went 15-3 in the playoffs that year. Warriors had more losses than that even before the finals started. At a 15-9 playoff record, they had as many losses in the playoffs as they did in the regular season.

Jordan wasnt washed up in the Wizards. He was really still putting up good states. The team chemistry was totally new. Basically one of the weaknesses of Lebron. Even though hes a team player than a scorer. But he was always trying to find a team with the best lineup but the chemistry wasnt there no matter how much elite players is in his team. During Jordans time with the Bulls. Even though Jordan was a scorer. He had many years to cultivate and understand his teammates and tailor the team to his play style. They uplifted each other to become greater players as time went by. Lebron is too impatient and as soon as there is an opening to get into a team with a better lineup of names. Lebron also had no blood and thunder type attitude to want to defeat the best out there. Instead choose the easy way. Find a team of dominant players and join them. He joins to get a super team. While Jordan cultivated a super team over years with the exception of the addition of Dennis Rodman. Then you talk about people of Lebrons era. They have more lenient rule sets. And even the best out there say with all the rules set before him. He can score even more easily compared to what he had to go against. All the greats say he would easy put up 50 points a game in todays league and you say the players today on another level? YOUR era people are even allowed to travel much less hand check.

Dear Steve Urkel, One thing that this video does not display is Michael's triple threat pull up shot. He could go full speed right, left, or straight ahead with the ability to pull up on a dime. His triple threat combined with his first step made him unstoppable during 84-93. If you pay attention to Lebron's game, he always goes left and likes to drift left on his jump when shooting. Lebron is great, but he has no pull up as a go to move. And do not forget free throws: The man has air balled free throws (3) times as a Laker. The only thing that you got right was Wizards MJ. Wizards MJ was painful to watch and so are you.

Never heard Jordan say he needs more people like your boy 🤡🤡🤡

I dont really get the Lebron argument at all. Individually, he doesn’t have the same tools MJ did. He is not a very good mid range shooter and MJ was the most lethal especially during the 2nd 3peat. If you analyze LBJ’s FG%, most of his shots came from within 3 feet from the basket. Even with most of his shots as dunks and layups, his FG% is just a hair better than Jordan. LBJ had 0 scoring titles to support his argument as a better offensive force than MJ. Bron is clearly not a good free throw shooter while MJ was very good considering all the contact he’s had to deal with. Bron is a volume assist guy. He’s not a trick passer like Magic or Nash was. MJ from the video was clearly a good passer if he needed to be. In terms of defense, MJ had so much accolades than Bron. MJ was always relentless on defense and never rested on defense like Lebron. I’m not even going to talk about finals records because its clearly in favor of MJ. I’ve never heard of a GOAT who has a losing record. I dont understand why LBJ can bypass greats like Kareem or even Duncan who had better careers. Like what the guy in the video said, he had so much advantages in terms of training, nutrition, etc. and Bron still fell short. Secondly, the argument that the 2016 warriors is greater than the 96 bulls is the same as the argument that Lebron is greater than Jordan because he was in the finals 10 times. Both did not see it through to the end. They had an opportunity to topple the GOAT and his team but they were not good enough. Otherwise, their arguments would have made sense and not just based on conjecture or what ifs. The facts remain that whether individually or team accomplishments, there is no contest. Lastly, the only thing that Lebron can do to beat MJ is to be a better team owner than him because the latter is terrible as such. Its too late to try and surpass him as a player unless he has a time machine.

I think it all started when Lebron claimed he was the greatest ever during that interview. But dude has played almost and getting close to 20 years, still has not caught up to Jordan yet. I think if anyone was closest to Jordan, it was most likely Kobe.

I'm 11 months late, but he switched to 45 because they had retired number 23 when he retired. If I remember correctly, 45 was his baseball number and Michael is really superstitious and petitioned to get 23 back. When he came out wearing his number 23 jersey, everyone was excited.

Couldn't wait to watch jordan play, every other sport I love my local ny teams but jordan was so fun to watch that I became a bulls fan, havnt really watch basketball since

His role on the bulls was to score. In the 88-89 season he played as a point guard and had a triple double in 7 straight games. (LeBron has never done that.) out of the 11 games he played as a facilitator, 10 of those were triple doubles. He averaged 32ppg 11asts 10reb that month. So it’s not like he was un capable of being all-around, his role was to score & simultaneously lock up the opposition. He’s the only player in league history to have a season with 100+ blocks & 200+ steals. He did that twice. Just keep your mind open, see things for what they are. You’ll see the truth.

The thing everyone who touts Lebron’s passing ability over Jordan seems to forget is that Jordan was a great passer - as you say, when he played point guard for 11 games, he got 10 triple doubles, but even as a shooting guard he handled the ball more than the point guard, the problem is when you pass the ball and get it back, nobody records it.

He retired 23 when he left for baseball. Upon returning, he left it retired in the ceiling.

I actually watched his assist highlights and all of those flashy passes never went wasted.

You made a great point. But to add, when he said that he's said seen Lebron do the things Jordan did, there's not much of it. The "creativeness" that Jordan brought to identify his game is something I've never seen in Lebron nor the moves that this youngster has claimed. A couple of them, yeah but not frequent or a regular to say the least. James' way of playing basketball is rather stiff and a lot of the versatility that people claim he has is a but exaggerated. Jordan was ahead of his time and would continue to do so if he were to play in any era. Not only because of his adaptation characteristic, but his standard of playing/pacing is beyond any player or era we have seen.

I love how you tell the guy to chill while talking about Jordans skill when LeBron is probably in Elementary school at that point.... you took that personal 😆

Listen. I'm in my late 40's. I have played a TON of basketball in my life. Open gyms, parks, I'd be in 4 or 5 different leagues during prime basketball season. I say this not to "toot my own horn", or relive my "glory days", so save your disparaging comments like that. I say that so you know I've played and watched my fair share of basketball. So, I watched Michael his whole career. Also, I'm from the Cleveland area and MJ killed us more times that you can count. Conversely being from the Cleveland area, I've heard all about LeBron since he was in Jr. high and watched his entire career and very much enjoyed the 2016 Championship LeBron brought Cleveland. Having hated MJ for how he destroyed our teams and LeBron giving us a championship... I would unequivocally say that MJ is the GOAT. You crack me up with your stopping the video and say, "oh that's like when Vince Carter did this", or "that reminds me of Steph Curry doing that".. where do you think all those guys got that from?? Why do you think guys like Kobe and LeBron grew up idolizing MJ?? If social media was around when MJ played... there would be statues and shrines all over the country for this guy. Actually watching his career and watch a 20 minute "highlight" clip are definitely 2 very different things. It's not your fault, you only know what you know. You grew up with LeBron and that's what you've seen most of so it's hard to imagine anyone better. I'm sure that's the same as me growing up with MJ and all the old timers at the time saying "Oscar Robertson was better"... or "He ain't got nothing on Wilt"... and I thought that was crazy of them to say. But take it from people who have actually seen BOTH of their careers play out and is from Cleveland area where LeBron is King. MJ is GOAT. MJ averaged 30 in his day...? He would have averaged 50 in today's NBA. No blood, no foul was real back then. Hand checking (or grabbing) was a thing. You had enforcers on teams that their sole job was to inflict pain and protect the paint. You went down the lane and a price was to be paid.

I will take the Bulls 72-10 season ending in an NBA Championship over the Warriors "soft era" 73-9 and 2nd Place.

Mj is the greatest midrange shooter of all time. Lebron shoots 37% outside of 3 feet. MJ was a better finisher in a league where the paint was congested and full of bigs. Lebron is a great finisher but its not the same for obvious reasons. Jordan was a better defender and had 9 trible doubles in 11 games shooting 50% when he played pg for a few games. He did everythnig and played harder, top 3 all time defender. In todays league his skills would be even more enhanced if he could bring the ball up and have no 1 at the rim

When you compare eras you gotta imagine then playing in the same game. Youve seen mjs highlights, the way he manuevers between multiple heads in the paint. IN todays league with no one in there(where lebron makes majority of his buckets) thats money, and hed be a way above 3Pt shooter cause why wouldnt he be? He would actually practice it. Hes the greatest mid range shooter in history. Shot over 40% as a injury riddle shell of himself on the wizards, still better then lebrons prime numbers. Also, lebron is below average 3Pt shooter in a era where its a big part of the game, where jordan was average when it wasnt, he shot like 1 a game.

@@cano21 How can you measure lebron's strength in this era? By his muscles? By his look at me workout videos? There's no big men to give him a little second thought when waltzing into the lane. He handles the ball so much that most likely he'll find some smaller match up and take advantage by running said smaller player over to a wide open basket. He doesn't bang for rebounds and he doesn't post up. Yeah he's strong but he doesn't take full advantage of it. Jordan, while having a different body type than James, was known to be very strong especially as he got older. But he used his strength advantage. Finishing over 2, 3, 4 guys in the paint is a sign of being very strong. Getting hammered and still finishing is a sign. Posting up and guards can't move you off your spot is a sign.

It’s generally a good idea to hold off on having an opinion when you have to say you “didn’t know” as often as you did.

Another thing kids don't get is that when MJ was in the NBA, his fame was Beatles level, Michael Jackson in the 80s level. People used to go crazy. I don't think really any player currently in the NBA gets that. Maybe in the city they play with, but I don't think that there has been that type of reaction to a player maybe since Shaq.

This guy is crazy. Lebron colluded with super star players to play in Miami. Pippen came to the bulls organically through the draft

Lebron has clear weaknesses, where MJ had literally none. You can say shooting 3's was the weakest part of his game. Which is still just barely worse, then Lebrons %. In an era where shooting 3s is actually important. I dare you to react to the Mj vs Lebron debate video thats popular on here.

On his drives, it was the fact that a guard was leaping and moving like a forward but with the same power.

Only one other player had that stat line going into the break….Kobe. The team that had gone 19-63 without him was 30-30 and in playoff position. After he got hurt that same team went 7-25.

He felt it was hard for him to play knowing he was not there and coming back it was hard for him to wear that 23 for a good while 😢

Theres no shame on being a Lebron fan. There is no shame in Lebron or anyone else being your favorite player, hell Larry Bird is my favorite of all time, but that doesnt mean he is the GOAT. Lebron has longevity....which will give him the end up stats. Take Lebrons best 15 years and i am willing to bet they dont beat MJ's numbers for his career. Ontop of that I just cant stress enough that MJ...actually played both sides of the court...he played damn near every single game. Compared to Lebron that refuses to play defense in most of his games because he doesnt have the stamina to go ham on both sides of the court. Lebron doesnt want to guard the best guy, or have the best guy guard him. MJ DEMANDED this. Again there is nothing wrong with loving Lebron, just look at him for what he is not what you glaze him up to be. Same goes for Jordan fans, he wasnt a god that made every shot and won every game

In fact, you are reacting to emotion. Your emotions told you to NOT say that Jordan is the GOAT even after you watched this. It was clear in your face that you were struggling with your emotions and chose to not admit that you believed Jordan was the GOAT after watching this. Your EMOTIONS are with Lebron. Those are the facts. And I'm not a person that argues Jordan or Lebron as the GOAT. There are at least 3 GOATs to me that can be argued either way. Oh, and I'd rather have 5 people who are a master at their positions rather than 5 people who are 70% good at each position. So that argument about mastery vs versatility only holds up in certain circumstances. That is one reason why it's impossible to argue who is the one and only GOAT.

Michael played in an era where getting fouled hard was part of the game. Getting pushed around constantly both on offense and defense. Hand checking was a huge part of the game. Fouls back in the day would beat you up every game and throughout the seasons and it got worse in the playoffs. Lebron would have got the crap beat out of him. How would have Lebron reacted no one will ever know this. But we do know Michael would have been the greatest in this era and would have racked up a good 10+ more avg points per game if he wanted. Plus he was if not one of, depending on who they were playing, the best defender on the court as well. With the physicality that was played during that era most players were done by 35 because their bodies couldn't take it. Even at 40 Jordan still had the skills and determination.

MJ's favorite number is 45. But in high school his older brother was wearing 45 so he did half of that number and rounded to 23. So when he came back from retirement he wanted to wear his favorite number. But like you said for a few games.

I get where you are coming from but seeing MJ and Lebton play live do you think Lebron would or could play all 82 games back in 96 while in his prime? I mean Levron has missed over 3 seasons in his career so let's not inflate or durability too much. Players back then rarely missed a game even with injuries. They didn't have a massive pool of rookies and international players that play on a week-long contract. You just played or you get the boot.

Lebron having the higher stat totals simply boils down to more games played. Yes longevity is obviously a plus, but when talking numbers it has to be mentioned in context. Lebron took far more games than MJ to amass those same numbers. Also, with the whole longevity thing, all athletes from this generation are going to play longer than those of past eras simply because of the advances in medicine and science. There’s a reason Lebron is still able to play at the level he does at his age, Brady the same and countless others.

Comparing Lebron team hopping and going to Miami to the bulls having and DRAFTING Scottie pippen is as about as foolish as an argument one could make. That means they started from the UNKNOWN. Nobody knew what Scottie would become. We do know that Dwyane Wade was a finals MVP and NBA champion. We do know that Chris Bosh had his own team down in Toronto and that he was an All-Star. Those are the things we do know. You might want to think before you start making foolish comparisons. Jordan did everything better than LeBron and Jordan was stronger than people give him credit for it. Better footwork, better mid-range. Was able to adapt his game from high flying dunker when he was younger to being able to post up and hit the mid-range at will. The three pointer wasn't big back in the day but I don't think it would have been a problem for any of the players back then to adapt. Honestly that's what's wrong with today's game anyway. Big man are soft because all they want to do is pull up from the three-point line. You admitting that LeBron had to adapt to something that another player did shows that he ain't the goat. Curry basically stole his shine and it ain't over because I believe the warriors probably will win one or two more. Meanwhile LeBron just gave the Lakers their worst season of all time if I'm not mistaken. Two top 75 players and couldn't even make the playoffs.

If you think Michael Jordan couldn't play in today's era, I raise you a Westbrook that averaged 30/10/10 in a season. He's not as smart as Jordan, they're the basically the same in athletic ability, Jordan is a much better shooter and Jordan also plays much better defense than Westbrook. If Westbrook can average 30/10/10 on a trash team, what would MJ do ? Note that MJ averaged 32/8/8 in 1988 when the game was harsher, slower and also there was no hard foul call, that was also the first year Pippen came to the league. Now imagine what Jordan would average on Russ' OKC team with Russ replaced by MJ. He's averaging 35/10/10/2/1.

Today’s NBA is powderpuff versus what it was in the 1980s / 1990s

Regarding his number change from 23 -> 45, then back -> 23. He retired because he was tired of being constantly hounded by fans and the media. Especially, when the question of gambling arose. But, what pushed it over the top was when his father was murdered from being car-jacked and robbed in a car that Michael had bought him. When he decided to return, he changed to #45 (highschool #) because his father always saw him in #23 while he was alive. He changed back to #23 because being out of the game for so long, he wasn’t playing at the level that he used to play. So, for superstitious reason he changed back.

A news reporter asked MJ is he thought the 90's Bulls teams could beat Lebron's lakers. MJ said yes. The reporter asked by how much. MJ replied 2 or 3 points. The reporter asked why such a close game? MJ replied...well most of us are almost 60 now.

NOT a pushoff. I was expecting you to say that. Russell had already overcommitted. His momentum had taken him out of good defensive position and his shoulders were not even close to square with Jordan. The hand on Russell's hip was barely touching. Not a push-off and not a foul. Also, this doesn't show the series of previous plays including the brilliant steal from Karl Malone that led up to this shot.

When MJ left to play professional baseball in the minors the Bulls retired his 23. But after struggling to play baseball at a high level he came back as 45. That only lasted awhile before they unreturned his 23.

Some more background of #45. His older brother larry wore that number so michael took #23 hoping he could be half as good as him when he was growing up.

He played with NBA players, but was NOT able to get them to come together as a team. That is 99% on him. Lebron is even worse, he needed to create a superteam to compete for a title. MJ had to take what he was given to "earn" his rings. P.S. Having a prime Pippen and adding Dennis Rodman was unfair to the rest of NBA at the time. Rodman did everything (the best ever) that MJ didn't!

Michael Jordan isn't the GOAT because of emotion. He simply did things that no other player did or is doing period. His game was historic in every facet and every player after him has been and will continue to be measured by his greatness.

The fact when this man quit basketball to play professional baseball, got bored, and won 3 more rings is amazing!!!

Jordan changed the criteria for guards and he would be even better in this era. His numbers would be astronomical especially since you can't even touch them without a foul being called. Sure they might be talented but they all have to team up in order to beat each other so that totally negates anything you said. The only team who's won organically since Mike left has been the Spurs and that's what their phenomenal drafting. We can say the Lakers as well but Shaq was traded there other than that they had organic parts. They they didn't piece together all stars like LeBron has in his career to win championships only to have a losing record and for people like yourself to Gloat over his individual accomplishments only because his finals record is so pathetic. MJ is the undisputed goat and it ain't even close. Steph Curry has the same amount of rings on a team that he was drafted by in the same era as LeBron. The Lakers were projected to win the west and couldn't even make the playoffs. Two top 75 players on his team and couldn't make the playoffs? 🤣🤣 Jordan has never been the favorite at the beginning of the season and lost. And LeBron wouldn't be as great as he is in Jordan's era because his problem is teams with big man who anchor the paint. Nowadays centers s like to step out and shoot threes so he usually has a clear path to the hole because not many centers play defense in today's League. Back then they were camped out in the paint. You need to go back and do your research homie. Talented doesn't always equate to being better. Westbrook is talented but I would still rather have John Stockton running my PG duties even in today's time because he could at least hit an open shot and he wasn't turnover prone he'd be setting these guys up in today's era for three as a thing of beauty. Jordan is to goat. Period!!

He wore 45 because when he retired, he also retired his number...so when he came back, he had to wear a different number until he could retrieve his legendary 23 back.. He chose number 45 because it was the next two numbers after 2 and 3

Bro, hand checking was outlawed and it’s easier for offensive players to get off due to rule changes. Did you say Mike didn’t do “dribble moves?”

Jordan is the GOAT, did all of that in 13 years vs LeBron's 19. LeBron has longevity on his side which helps with the numbers but Jordan's peak was far better. He kept many great HOFers from winning titles in the 90s. You are down on Jordan's competition compared to what LeBron is facing but in truth guys like Olajuwon, Ewing, Charles Barkley, etc would have their way with dudes right now. Jordan really had no weakness and was a true two way player, in addition to being the most athletic guy on the floor he was also the most fundamentally sound. So picture a guy that is bigger, stronger and faster than a current popular player like say...Ja, could jump higher than Ja and had elite footwork and was lethal mid-range (better than D. Wade who you mentioned), and one of the best perimeter defenders ever with an almost psychotic level of competitiveness and you have Jordan. LeBron is an all time great and the best player of my generation (we are the same age) but there's a reason why Jordan is still the gold standard, it's no secret why Bron wore number 23 for most of his career.
