I agree, but I do think he choked once, though you could argue it was because he wasn't in basketball shape. That one let down is the only time he was LeBron-esque, ha ha. And that was against Orlando in the '95 playoffs when the Bulls had chances to win but MJ came up short in clutch time. It actually enhances his legacy though in terms of telling a heroic story because unlike LeBron, MJ didn't blame teammates or jump teams (and he didn't say "check my stats" either, lol). He actually took responsibility for the loss and then went on to avenge the defeat in the best way (with a sweep) in route to three more championships in a row.

Only a few Lebron fans think he's the Goat- that little group includes some in the media and probably himself. While most people that think that Jordan is the GOAT are not even Jordan or Bulls fans, the bulk of people claiming that he is the GOAT are the fans of the other teams- the ones that were humiliated and defeated year after year and did not win any rings because of Jordan. I'd say simply that they are Basketball fans not necessary a fans of MJ.

Defensive Impact is where the real substance of the the "Jordan is the GOAT" argument can be found. Everything else is kinda colored with some kind of *extra* factor. Like "clutch" or "Finals Losses"...all the other arguments have a certain amount of subjective influence going on. But Defense...NOPE It's open and shut. Jordan was twice the Defensive Player Lebron is and Lebron has the length and size to be to be twice the Defensive Player that Jordan was. And for that reason alone: Jordans defensive impact, numbers, and effort in comparison to Lebron's; makes him the better player. The only way to make an argument for Lebron is to make the argument that defense doesn't count when it comes to GOAT... which is ridiculous, like saying Frank Thomas (a non fielder) was the better player than Ken Griffey Jr cuz he had a few better hitting seasons.

the flop, the tantrum and the grab the ball like a running back and buldoze your way to the rim are my favorite lebron go to moves. what a talented basketball god.

If LBJ was so concerned about his legacy, maybe he should have learned how to shoot beyond 3 feet from the basket. And hit his free throws. And develop a post-up/mid-range game. And hit more than 20% of the shots he takes at clutch time (that is, when he actually has the balls to take the last shot because Ray Allen and Kyrie Irving aren't around to bail him out). And not turn the ball over more than any other player in NBA history. And play consistent defense. And not flop so bad that even FIFA is embarrassed when they see him. And not promise 7 rings with the SuperTeam he put together, then go 2 for 4, with the first loss the direct result of his own choke job. You know, do all of the great things without all the crappy things, like MJ did throughout his career. LBJ should have shored up his legacy on the court, NOT in the media.

He wasn't just lucky, he made it happen. He whined about being called a b**** in the post game presser and dared the NBA to do something about it. That's when the NBA retroactively assigned the extra technical and suspended Draymond after the fact (which was ridiculous and unprecedented in a situation of championship magnitude). There's no doubt about it: The NBA was hoping to extend the series. Cleveland was almost certainly going to lose in 5 games after LeBron and Kyrie choked away game 4 in Cleveland. Instead they gained new life and also an inside advantage for the rest of the series after Bogut went down (which probably wouldn't have happened had Draymond played that game). The icing on the cake was that when injured Curry finally got it going in game 6, he was instantly hit with foul trouble. At that point the NBA was going to get their 7 games no matter what. 2016 Warriors vs Cavs to me was on the level of 2002 Lakers vs Kings. The officiating was worse in the latter, but the the series altering interference was the same. And the NBA tried again last season to get LeBron to the finals with some absurd officiating as well (the free throw stats for the Lakers after LeBron complained about the one Boston non-call were outrageous; they shouldn't have even made the playoffs). Thank goodness Denver was a great enough team to stifle that nonsense.

They forget, MJ was already being called the GOAT before he even played 1 game in the NBA. Remember the 1984 Olympics, the 8 warm up games against NBA All Stars, team USA, college kids, won all eight. Bobby Knight was just one of many who said MJ is the best there has ever been. And MJ was only 21 yrs old.

Those who speak the loudest tend to be the most insecure in themselves. There's a difference between speaking something into existence and just claiming to be something, I think Michael knows his game speaks for itself he doesn't need to say anything because everyone already has their opinions and out of respect he's not trying to take away what others have done before him and during his time. It feels like LeBron is almost trying to convince other people if not also himself that he's he's the greatest and that's always going to be a losingvl argument

LeCon standing there at espy dressed like Michael Jackson with female necklace and his family seemingly held hostage to celebrate his greatness is peak insecurity 😆

My favorite MJ vs LeBron stat: (especially for those wanting to bring up "MJ fans don't talk about the times he didn't win the championship" Jordan played 15 seasons and won 6 rings. That means there are 9 seasons that he didn't win. LeBron played 20 seasons and won 4. That means there are 16 that he didn't win a ring. You can now fit Jordan's ENTIRE CAREER in the amount of seasons LeBron didn't win a ring, and still have a year left over to ride the bench.

LeBron the last year-year and a half: "I'm gonna play with Bronny. Whoever gets Bronny is going to get me. It's the ultimate moment as a father. I've also signed a two year $90+ million dollar extension." LeBron right after the game, not the season, after getting swept: "Screw all that. I'm thinking I might retire." Nobody believed him. It was almost as bad as the cast on his arm after he got swept in 2018. I'm surprised he didn't come out in a walking boot before he said this at the presser. I have too much respect for his intelligence to believe he didn't know what saying that would do. Every agency's top story became about his fake retirement plans.

I follow multiple sports (NBA, MLB, Fútbol and NFL) since I was a kid, this thing started since Lebron got to the league even without winning anything he called himself the King and with Kobe (who was considered the GOAT or 2d best player [debatable] still playing, then when he got his first title and won the gold medal in the redeem team (his momentum in his career was in an all time high), [this is what I think] he and his fans thought he was on track to surpass MJ but San Antonio then Golden State gave him a losing record (Dallas gave him his first loss but then he win two in a row), that losing record to some fans disqualify him even if he eventually ended Cleveland drought and even if he got the bubble chip. But Lebron and his fans dismissed those criticism rebutting that passing Kareem, Lebron longevity playing at a high level and Lebron's stats make him the GOAT. In correlation some fans composed by a new generation have disrespected old generations of basketball players calling them plumbers, trash players and other negative adjetives/names, making it unbearable to debate in forums. Much different when fans (even in disagreement the majority of fans debate with respect) & players from other sports engage in the GOAT debate MLB, Fútbol and NFL tend to be polite (especially ex-players) when talking about past generation of players that play the games and to those who are potencial candidates to be The Greatest Of All Times... and I never hear a player (Willie Mays, Babe Ruth, Hank Aron, Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Roberto Clemente, Nolan Ryan, Pelé, Maradona, Ronaldo 'The Phenomenon', Zidan, Messi, John Elway, Jim Brown, Joe Montana, Jerry Rice or Tom Brady) call himself the GOAT. I also think that it's not for a player to call themselves the GOAT, that's for their peers and the fans.

@kingvagar thank you for such a detailed answer. I had no idea it was a hot topic from pretty much the beginning of LeBrons career. I get that people enjoy the debate around GOAT's, but there is no single or even combined criteria that everyone will agree upon, so spewing bile at someone because they think differently isn't going to change anything. All that being said, a player should not be the one declaring themselves the GOAT.

Great video bro

Lebron made his wife introduce him to the stage as the GOAT on the recent espy awards. I was like yo this dude is corny as hell for that.

Micheal Jordan, like most great athletes, was a physical phenomenon with unbelievable basketball talent. I can say the same for Lebron. The biggest thing that separates them is what's between the ears. Micheal didn't just do this for the rings and the money. The fans meant something to Mike, as they did to most stars back then. Jordan was smart enough not to ever talk politics, religion, social issues, and intimate relationships. It only causes friction and you loose fans that may not watch anymore or become haters. As great a player as Lebron is, he stuck his foot in his mouth with those issues one with his public stature should remain neutral in. Like Golden State not going to The White House after winning the championship. That's just lame and not indicative of what real men do. That's what wussies do.

LeBron isn’t even the greatest small forward of all time. Larry Bird eats him for lunch every time. LeBron may be more athletic, but Bird was more skilled at every part of the game; Bird was mentally tougher than LeBron; and Bird elevated teammates in ways LeBron never has. Only 3 people have averaged 28+ while shooting 50/40/90. Steph and Durant have done it once, I think. Bird averaged that over a four year stretch. LeBron has never done it. Bird averaged about the same number of assists as LeBron with a much lower usage rate than LeBron, and Bird was a much better rebounder and more committed defender than LeBron in spite of the apparent difference in “athleticism.” Bird’s status as a teammate is also measured in that he is still friends with his former teammates, and they all gush about playing with him and how important he was. LeBron leaves guys just wanting to get away from him.

Bird is a better shooter from all areas of the floor (50/40/90) and a better shot creater than LeBron. The only place LeBron has an edge is in the locomotive down-hill power drive to the basket, and that's era-dependent, too, because LeBron doesn't have to meet Rick Mahorn or Anthony Mason at the basket. Bird was a much better passer than LeBron. They average about the same number of assists in spite of LeBron dominating the ball. As much as LeBron controls the ball, he should get gobs of assists. Bird could create for teammates out of the normal flow of the game. Bird and Magic both had superior basketball IQs to LeBron. It's really not a close comparison if you have watched the entirety of all their careers. Bird, Magic, and Michael were all just flat superior basketball players to LeBron. They had better skills, They were better leaders. And, they raised the levels of their teammates in ways that LeBron never could.

This is, without question, the softest era EVER in the NBA. Same in the NFL. The league decided that scoring would make them more money so they basically abolished meaningful defense.
