the guarding 1-5 narrative is so exaggerated and cap lol go an watch what happened most of the time when he guarded 1 or 5 Lebron being a more dynamic player than MJ is nothing but laughable.
Dude those guys were not plumbers. The players from the 90’s were just as athletic as the players today. Ball handling may have become a little better however today player carry and travel with regularity so I really don’t think they are any better.
Not only was it 6-0 in the final, but the opponents did not succeed more than 2-4, and the games lost by the Bulls were often only 1-2-3 points difference.
Kobe was in the league for Jordan's 2nd three peat. His game was game was more midrange assassin at that point. Basically he emulated old Jordan. Young Jordan was pure chaos on the court
Great reactions. but Lebron can’t guard 1-5 effectively otherwise he would have guarded and prevented Tony Parker, Iguodala, KD, Kawhi from busting his ass in the finals but instead he let his teammates guard them while he switches off to easier assignments.
MJ was Defense Player of the Year in 1988 (+ MVP+ scoring title + dunk contest winner). He had more years in the first defense team than Lebron (although he played fewer years). Lebron did not take defense seriously in all the years he played. In recent years, he is inert in defense, he has defensive rebounds also because his teammates allow him to take these rebounds. Jordan ranks 4th all-time in total steals and SPG. In the years in Chicago, except the first year, and the years when he returned only at the end of the season, he was actually the best player in the NBA and the best scorer (.. And the other players were aware that Jordan was the best in the league). Lebron had enough years where he wasn't the best player that year.
This is a highlight video they are not going to show every jump shot he took or fade-away......they are going to show spectacular highlights with dunks, passes, blocks, game winners. He is not at all like Giannis....Kobe modeled his game after Jordan's.
If he doesn’t play baseball it’s not two three-peats, it’s an Octo. Which leaves Hakeem with zero. While I personally think it’s harder to get to and win Super Bowls, Tom’s 7 vs hypothetically MJ’s 8 would be a great debate. (No rhyme intended)
LOL...getting dunked on was a big deal. Getting knocked out in the first round of a heavyweight fight was a big deal, but if you were defending Jordan back then or fighting Mike Tyson back then - the choice was not yours. There would be no Kyrie BACK THEN because Kyrie would have not grown up 'being like mike'. Kobe, Kyrie, Anthony Edwards, grew up with Jordan highlights already in existence. Jordan could score with EITHER hand, drive left, right, middle and adjust his shot multiple times while already in the motion of the original idea - often in mid-air....scoring leader and defensive player of the year - in the same year. Just saying...the nickname Rare Air was appropriate. His abilities were unseen before him, and his work ethic was unheard of in that era - definitely not today. He was rare. Stop looking for a replacement. If the replacement ever comes, there will be no debate.
The plays are in chronological order, so in the first years you cannot see Pippen, Rodman, etc. Also. for most of his scoring, MJ does not need assists!
There was not a single point in lebrons career where he could guard 1-5. I’ll give u twos, threes, fours, and SOME pgs. But unless u were playing small ball, there isn’t a single true center that lebron was capable of guarding consistently nor did he ever do it.
You got the wrong information on mj go look at his other films on passing postings and left handed shots and shooting threes and Lebum can’t guard 1-5 eaither stop the cap fella
I don’t fully understand your question. Imo human beings have the highest peak due to our ability to conquer the entire planet, along with adapting to harsh climates more abundantly than any other species. If I use the Lebron argument for accumulating numbers and length of time then it obviously cockroaches 😊
Why would you say it wasn’t a big deal to get dunked on in that era? It has and will always be a big deal. Nobody wants to get dunked on. His shoes didn’t last that long? What are you on? They outsell any of the shoes you mentioned, and just for the sake of truth, who is even wearing Lebron‘s shoes?! I hear crickets. None of the players now would be able to handle the brutal defense of that era. And how does being able to guard 1-5 make Lebron better than MJ? What are you even talking about? And Lebron hasn’t guarded ANYONE in years. MJ never stopped playing defense at the highest level . Lebron can be your favorite player, but you are confusing that with “greatest of all time,” which is an entirely different thing. Here’s a tip: Learn about that era before you say stupid things.
Saying Mj doesn't have a left hand is the equivalent of flat earthers.
indeed
the guarding 1-5 narrative is so exaggerated and cap lol
go an watch what happened most of the time when he guarded 1 or 5

Getting dunked on was a big deal, but players had more pride in trying to block shots
Facts so if you got dunked on it was a major deal and disrespectful
It’s amazing how uniformed you are. Jordan’s shoe out sell everybody else’s combined. Stil to this day 20 years after he retired.
Playing in a hand check/ defensive big man era would make things more difficult for Kyrie.
Isiah Thomas was Kyrie with toughness
His left hand isn't weak at all it's a bunch of bullshit from lebron fans.

Or Jason Terry

kobe was the closest to mj AFTER mj played baseball for 2 yrs
mj BEFORE he played baseball? no ones been able to even attempt to imitate that
Bird and Magic wore converse weapons. Jordan was the first player to get his own shoe.
Da GOAT

Kobe do model his game after mj check out top 50 identical play kobe and mj
Lebron could guard 1-5 he says 😂he barely guarded his own position most of his career
Larry had shoes and magic did too
There was not a single point in lebrons career where he could guard 1-5. I’ll give u twos, threes, fours, and SOME pgs. But unless u were playing small ball, there isn’t a single true center that lebron was capable of guarding consistently nor did he ever do it.
Kobe's game is base on later MJ like 2nd 3peat MJ.
Michael and lebron missed each other in the league by one year. Jordan retired in 2003. Lebron's rookie season was 2004
Lebron was a rookie in 2003
@@waynelaney42 2003-2004 you mean...
only lebrok fans are hating on him and those that lie
You got the wrong information on mj go look at his other films on passing postings and left handed shots and shooting threes and Lebum can’t guard 1-5 eaither stop the cap fella
Nobody hating on only lebron babies
Watch Jordan vs LeBron: The best GOAT comparison. It’s a few years old but it pretty much sums everything up. Jordan is in a league of his own
Yeah he could he ducked on center's and remember you can't compare lebron to mj u compare him to magic
there is nobody even come close to mj . true GOAT 🐐
GOAT🥰 FOREVER ~💫🌟
Not only could LeBron not guard 1-5 but Jordan often did guard 1-5.
Bro today my grandkids want nothing but Jordans
15:43 If Michael Jordan had a higher peak... what animal is at the highest peak??? lol
I don’t fully understand your question.

Kyire isn't shit don't 2ver compare anyone to the real king of all sports 😤 💯
Can't you make the content screen smaller?
Every single reverse lay was left handed. Regardless of the side.
Kyrie wouldn’t be able to play in this era dribbles to much you have to get to point of attack soon as possible
Same type of players
Why would you say it wasn’t a big deal to get dunked on in that era? It has and will always be a big deal. Nobody wants to get dunked on. His shoes didn’t last that long? What are you on?

M j had a left and he could jump off one and two
Lebron isn't dynamic.
