Nick Wright is about to shed tears 😂😂Straight facts u say.. MJ is the only person to ever win DPOY and the scoring title in the same season. And he led the league in steals that same season. Led league in steals 3x, won DPOY, 5 MVPs. And nvr winning against Larry Bird... sure but that was a team with at least 5 HoFers and MJ was alone. And Larry Bird himself after playing against MJ said that he saw *God disguised as Michael Jordan* . MJ didn’t lose for lack of effort. This the same dude who questioned his own coaches and upper management for trying to tank and lose to get good draft picks. He said winning is the point of every game, if we’re not trying to win then why are we playing basketball... he gave everything every single game. LeBron and his ‘load management’ would never fly with MJ.. ever. He nvr cheated the fans out of seeing him play and his greatness. The figure and aura that was Michael Jordan was unlike anything we’ve witnessed. LeBron will never be able to top that
I mean it seems like everything Nick said was true. And he didn’t even mention that during Micheal’s “Dominant Years” when he finally became the legend people believe he is, he DID allow another team to win the finals, unlike what Chris said.
I mean Jordan’s career before Pippin wasn’t great. He kept getting wrecked in the early rounds of the playoffs. I’ll take loses in the finals over loses in the first and second rounds. And I’d bet you a lot of people would agree.
Jordan had a breakdown moment, against the magic when they stole the ball from him and they were saying "45 isn't 23", it wasn't in the finals so it doesn't get attention
agreed, but it ain't quite 8 points, then 17 points, then 21 points in game 4 5 and 6, while scoring an average of 2 points in the 4th quarter. MJ still averaged 31 pts on 48% shooting, that series. Nowhere near as bad as lebron's meltdown. If that's a meltdown for jordan, you just proved why hes the goat. Jordan came back with 17 games left in that season, and was out of shape. Those mistakes he made down the stretch were due to his lack of basketball fitness. Even Nick Anderson said "no 45 ain't no 23, i coudlnt have done that to no 23". Jordan came back the next year 72-10 and three peated
@@skipbayless4375 but he still failed. And you offering explanation is the same thing that Bron critics would say is "jsut an excuse". Rational fans understand things like that but still....if Bron gets a "no excuses" clause then so does MJ.
@@skipbayless4375 i'm not saying it was as bad as lebron, but Jordan had a moment too. It's true that the media will always treat jordan like royalty and act like he played only 6 years, i have him as the goat but it's not unachievable for lebron. You said that he came back and three peated, lebron came back from 2011 and won 2 in a row. Also Jordan in the finals when he won he always had a better team, apart from 2011 lebron wasn't supposed to win and surely jordan hasn't faced the competition that lebron faced in the finals.
@@yourebreakingmyballs4787 lebron went against a dynasty in the Spurs 4 times & a 73 win team in the warriors who added Kd the top 2 best player who didn’t even have to play in the playoffs for them to make the finals & the first year the warriors won the cavs stars all was injured
the fact that the Jazz scored like 54 points in a game is just laughable ... watch the game its not even like the defense was that great they were jagging layups and wide open shots
@@kbwoo8871 Are you seriously laughing at my comment? One based on common sense and obvious facts? Seriously, these types of mindsets ruin basketball debates. If you have facts to prove things, cool, we can agree to disagree but bro...you play to win, regardless of the challenge. Maybe the 90s teams should have been better...you know, since you’re trying to get a title.
You jump right to the Finals and talk about competition lmao 🤦🏽♂️ there’s something called the first second and third rounds you need to go thru to get there. LeBron has NVR aced the same competition level that MJ had to face to even get to the Finals. So chalk up LeBrons Finals opponents but skip over the path to get there.. MJ had to face far superior competition to make the Finals. And MJ kept how many All time great players top 50 players from winning a Ring?? Everyone won on LeBron’s watch as CB said.. against LeBron they won, they ate. If you’re going to proclaim yourself as GOAT (which no real superstar would do and they haven’t other than LeBron) then someone of your stature needs to at least win s couple games vs those KD Warriors, don’t get swept twice in the Finals. You don’t lose with that Miami heat team 4-1 to the Spurs in 2014. And you definitely don’t leave and manufacture a big 3 to win rings only to have a historic meltdown to the Mavericks in 2011, probably the worst we’ve seen from a Superstar of his caliber ever.. in his 8th year
"The points weren't powerful" LMAO Broussard has lost it. Nick said nothing but facts! He has been owning every single argument on this show for a while now!"
Those so called facts are misleading. Jordan got out of the first round after Scottie was drafted but Scottie barely played his first couple of years and averaged around 8 points. Duncan won his first title after Jordan retired so did hakeem.
I think everyone who has their opinion of who the GOAT is isn’t changing their mind, whether it’s Lebron or Jordan. At this point, everything Lebron does is just gonna make it harder for anyone else to join the discussion.
@nabil chowdhury yea but what nick is saying and doing is only because mj fans do that with LeBron but I get what you're saying. Nick has never said those things up until now. Maybe except for the pippen thing. He was just pointing out the double standard.
@AnObviousUsername the reason Lebron's trophycase is much lighter compared to MJ is because of excuses. Valid excuses, but still, same can be applied to almost any player. No I'm not blaming Bron one but for anything besides 2011 (maybe a few other minor instances), but that's just how it is. Let's not forget that Bron also has the luxury to handpick players to play on his team, and very few stars get to do so. Bron's a top 2 player ever undoubtedly but like you said, they worship Jordan but those people like Nick who think Bron is the GOAT do the exact same thing if not even more than those who believe it's Jordan
KD and Steph ate...together. WITH KLAY AND DRAYMOND. Kawhi and Tim Duncan ate...together. WITH PARKER AND GINOBLI. Drexler didn't eat...by himself. When he got with Hakeem he won. Barkley didn't eat...alone. Stop it Chris. No context whatsoever.
@@serenitynow8518 “out of context” lmao “Michael Jordan is probably the greatest scorer to play the game, but I may go as far as to say LeBron James may be the greatest player to ever play the game because he is so potent offensively that not only can he score at will but he keeps everybody involved. You have to be on your Ps and Qs on defense. No guy on the basketball court is not a threat to score with LeBron James out there. Not only will LeBron dominate from the offensive end as well, but he's also doing it on the defensive end, which really makes him the complete package. He's able to get in those passing lanes, shoot those gaps and create transition opportunities where he is pretty much unstoppable.” -Scottie Pippen, when asked how LeBron James and Michael Jordan compare to each other. (For context)
@@wyattps4440 Yeah I hear you meanwhile all that greatness still needed D Wade and Bosh to win 2 then Kyrie and Kevin Love to win 1 and AD to win another which amounts to 4 Mj needed 1 other all star in Pippen for 1 3 peat then Pippen and Rodman for another 3 peat people forget Mj dominated a league that was dominated by super teams and the big man he is the first and only guard before and after to do such a thing at 6'6 with the league rules being way different Lebron is 6'9 plays in a league that gives techs for smaccing the baccbroad after dunking and still manage to go 4-6 take away KD'S super Warriors team still will have him 4-4 let's be honest Pippen said Lebron is better because in certain things he is but if we being honest Pippen is jealous of Mj because he knows as much as people say Mj needed Pippen, Pippen needed Mj as well 94 Pippen went no where and in 95 he asked Mj to come bacc and they took a young dominate Magic team to 6 and that was without a full season of Mj 💯, Mj is a better player on both ends of the court but Lebron is by far a better passer 👍🏼
LeBron James didn't win a championship until Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami Heat and Ray Allen .he didn't win one in Cleveland to he got Kyrie Irving and Calvin love. on the team he didn't win another championship until they create the bubble. He hand-picked ad and some of the other players so you see he hand pick recruit all these players on his own and he still not better than Michael. Jordan.
@@BatmanvsJesus but what Chris was saying was, once Jordan figured out everything he needed he was never losing again nobody in the east or west won. Bron got to the finals but other players still rings lmao not the case for mj
He looks shiny not winning without pippen is stupid 1. MJ only played 2 seasons without Pippen so pippen was part of the losing 2.the bulls were rebuilding new teammates and coach and new system takes time but after 2 seasons with new roster they never lost again
8:00 Jordan scored 50 points then went into the playoffs to face the MAGIC and choked like a girl eating a pretzel. JORDAN total MELTDOWN - Missing FTs, Airballing, Turning the ball over, etc...
Darrell Wilkins Jordan scored 18 points in a first round playoff game against the Celtics. He lost. Jordan went 9-25 in game 7 against the pacers in 1998. Kukoc bailed him out with 7-11 in that game. Pippen also bailed him out a bunch of times.
@@firstlast9916 then what is scoring 8 points vs a team in the finals against a team that shouldn't have even been there? Bron's is no doubt on NBA's Mt Rushmore but he's far from passing Jordan imo
MJ even in the series he’s lost was still the BEST players. Nick pointed out that Bron brought a team with no All Stars to the Finals. Bron got swept by that team and he wasn’t the best player on the floor. The difference is Bron didn’t have to face the Spurs in the first round. MJ faced the Celtics twice in the first round whose won the chip those years and than faced the Pistons in the first round whose won the chip. Imagine if Bron would have faced the Warriors and the Spurs in the first round during his first 7 years with the Cavs. MJ faced these teams his first 3 seasons and still was the BEST player on the court.
@@richardnewsome2324 sounds like to me mJ gets passes and and LBJ Don't. So what. He played who was there to play whenever he played them. He lost. He lost. If you're not gonna give exemption to LeBron about whom he faced then Mike gets none either
Vincent Jackson yeah but MJ never lost a final to a team he was better than, LBJ lost to Dallas in 2011, even though he had 2 all stars, he got outplayed by a 33 year old bench player, which was Jason Terry and lost to the spurs in 5 games, with a 15 point record margin, MJ has never lost a final to a team the bull were better than.
dude ask all the superstars including Lebron who played in the NBA how hard it is to win a championship when your are the leader of the team. That's why titles matter in the GOAT debate.
@nabil chowdhury No all he said was facts, consider 15 years not 6, consider a great team jordan has really superteam in an era with no super teams, in my opinion if we replaced barkley or malone with mj, the bulls at least will get 4 chips
The EAST was so weak during Lebrons time-they had to change the All Star Game format.They were going to change the playoff format too but Lebron begged to Adam Silver not to.Adam had the plan in place.Just couldnt execute it cause Lebron wanted to not have a playoff conferences shuffle.
@@sabryspot youre saying the bulls were a superteam with jordan and scottie. Then what about lebron dwade and bosh or lebron kyrie and love. And now Lebron and AD.
This will forever be my favorite argument on the discussion. In this debate both arguments are forced on aspects outside of rings and fake narratives. Chris saying “Jordan had no weaknesses in his game” is an amazing argument nobody ever says
problem is thought that every point of Nicks either lacks too much context to be credible or is a straight up lie, like how the East (post 1991) had 3x teams (other than the Bulls) with multiple HOF players
Jordan did have weaknesses. He gambled far too often on steals and often left the defender open. He was a poor 3 point shooter even for his era. He didn’t use his passing ability enough because he was an underrated playmaker but he took too many shots. Every player has weaknesses
@@yahiakamel2747 Agreed. There are more weaknesses. MJ didn't trust his teammates to make a shot, so he kept shooting. He also gambled way too much outside the game, which arguably put him out of the league. Also, when claiming that the stage was too big for anyone - that's just an interpretation. When MJ fumbled and turned the ball over against the Magic when they lost, MJ fans simply just ignore that. For some reason, MJ has gotten a series of free passes on his shortcomings. Everyone has weaknesses, MJ fans simply choose to ignore them. I also think that this is a definitional problem. What do people mean when they say "Greatest"? Is it the one with most championship wins? Best win percentage? All-time achievements? How are different achievements weighted against each other? For instance, how do you compare longevity compared to win percentage? If you have a shorter successful career, then it's easier to have a higher win percentage. It's because people are irrational and biased these things get confused, and the debate goes on forever.
lol u talking bout this year ???? howard was bench scrub......hall of famer is counted when u are playing like a hall of famer not for washed up players lmaoooooooo......lakers had 2 - bron and AD.......melo is not a hall of famer on blazers like was for nuggets and knicks lolol
Bron took 9 years to win a chip. Jordan took 6. Remember he was out most of his 2nd season with broken foot. Also bron has to join a super team to break through, mj never did that. Look up the stats all you want all they say is mj was better.

This was an Ether to Chris Broussard. It's hard for me to pick one over the other because they are my favorite players but everything here is straight up facts
kind of, but it ain't quite 8 points, then 17 points, then 21 points in game 4 5 and 6, while scoring an average of 2 points in the 4th quarter. MJ still averaged 31 pts on 48% shooting, that series. Nowhere near as bad as lebron's meltdown. If that's a meltdown for jordan, you just proved why hes the goat
@@devdagoat2574 I ain't saying he choked, but there are levels to choking. Jordan choked on a grain of rice, Lebron choked on a cucumber in 2011. Jordan came back near the end of the season to help a 23-25 bulls team. jordan was out of shape and led the team to 24-11 when he came back. The year after the team went 72-10.
@@skipbayless4375 the year after 2011 lebron was mvp and fmvp against prime kevin durant who had won 3 straight scoring titles. no doubt lebron had the tougher competition in 2012 compared to jordan in 96
As a Lakers fan and a Jordan fan, Nick brought some serious heat to Chris and Chris responded poorly. I’m all for this debate. Honestly, idk who’s goat. Nick presented great points, what it comes down to is really preference.
It was lot of waffling Nick made that and u are a LBJ choke fan and not a MJ fan or let alone even an NBA FAN! So let me rebuttal some of them "great points" u thought Nick W did .... 1. MJ a loser without Scottie? MJ played ALONE with 🗑️ teams vs HOF TEAMS that won Championships during the BEAST EAST in the 80's and yet MJ was the best player in the league! 2. Ate at MJ watch? NOBODY ate at MJ watch as that starts with ur 1st Finals apparences until ur last and MJ was from 91-93 (retired in between) 96-98 so thats 2 different 3PEATS! U welcome and stay out of basketball 🏀
Nick was just nit picking. The Eastern Conference was very tough in the 80s, Jordan didn't have the team around him to compete yet. That is what people forget about in these debates; it is a team game. Jordan's ascension to the top was much tougher than what Lebron had to go through. That is another reason why MJ is the GOAT.
This has the potential to become an all-time rant. Nick completely dismantled these skewed Jordan talking points that never really get challenged in the media.
He said all that about MJ but he’s still 6-0 in the finals...think about that. Still have more rings than Bron....Never lost a finals, never been to a game 7, always been the best player on the court OFFENSIVELY & DEFENSIVELY...
@@jamesmurphy4089 And Robert Horry is still 7-0 in the Finals. Horry has more rings than Jordan. Championships are team accomplishments. How many rings you have isn't indicative of how good or bad a player you are in a team sport.

The argument for Jordan is always that his career was 6 years long and he won 6 times lol. Say what you will, but never talking about Jordan's failures is a disservice to every other player that ever suited up in the NBA. In truth we see these debates all the time, but no one ever sets the tone by how we are defining "greatest." What does that word actually mean and how is it truly measured?
@@hananlevis-betancourt7362 and anybody with common sense would see that is what it actually means. If u are more valuable to your team then I don't see how u aren't a better player.
Kareem already had the stats whats your point bro? MJ is the GOAT and after LBJ retires this debate will go away just like it did with Kobe and the media will hype the next person to take their shot at MJ.
The competition LeBron faced has to be absolutely considered. LeBron faces multiple super teams, 08 Celtics, 2013-14 spurs, 2016-17 warriors and beat them all at some point. Jordan never beat the big three Celtics or the bad boy pistons, and never faced another dynasty level team when he went on his title run.
lol, Lebron formed superteams himself, i have no sympathy for him losing to other superteams. He picked his players. Lebron also had some pathetic eastern conferences
That's because MJ kept teams from being Dynasties by beating them. Two three-peats! You know how hard it is to 3-peat? Even the Warriors failed to do that.
@@MeronT13 He knows his stats, but everything he said doesn’t matter. He said MJ never beat Bird, but completely ignored the fact that Bird had 4 other hall of famers playing with him. That while MJ was mostly by himself and was a baby. That’s like criticizing LeBron for losing in 2007 to the Spurs.
People make too much of Jordan's 3-peat. Of the three 3-peats, the common thread was The Great Phil Jackson. Phil proved that the 3-peat success was repeatable, without MJ. Nick makes a great point that Jordan never got far without Pippen. However, Pippen got to the conference finals without MJ, and got success with the Blazers too. When Jordan retired that Bulls team was still great. But when LeBron leaves a team, they don't even make playoffs for years!
the Heat tbf made the playoffs only a year after LeBron left and would’ve made it the year he did leave but Wade and Bosh especially missed 20+ games. Them loss of LeBron didn’t drop them off the map completely
pipin is not better than wade, Bosh, kyrie and Anthony Divis, scotie averaged 20 points and MJ didn’t go and join superteams after Chicago and LBJ east was too weak, coz in 2007 the real finals was in the western conference and Phil Jackson didn’t treepeat twice, after the bulls and Miami still made deep playoff runs After LBJ left and if to say LBJ was in the west, in his early career he won’t make it past the 1st round, Sprur, Lakers, Phoenix, when he didn’t have any help, that’s y 2018 Rockets took warriors to 7 games, and LBJ got swept, and Tim Dunkan, almost swept Lebron in 2014, by the biggest margin, in a final’s history with an average margin of 18 points, b4 he ran back to Cleveland when wade and bosh started declining, b4 the warriors took over.
If LBj would had lost there is no goat convo.... if he wins, oh i don't matter. Lmao. Haters will always hate. LBJ is BY FAR a better all around player than MJ. As the stats indicate. Case freaking closed
@nabil chowdhury well. Stats indicate that. More points. Rebounds. Assists. 3s. Etc. Only stat MJ is better at is free throws. Lebron still has 3 seasons left, by then , he will be ahead by 8k points. 6k rebounds. 6 k assists. And a shitload more 3s, blocks and steals. . So yeah. By far
MJ’s weakness was pretty Obvious, he’s just like every other great player that still needed to have a team built around him And system to be the Cog of. Jordan never was his own system outside of ball hog to death, that’s what it was in Chicago before Jackson and Pippen came to town. Only people that pay attention to the 6 championship runs don’t understand that Jordan was mortal.
that's not a weakness lol... If you want to win you should play within a system....players like Bron and Wilt that decided to be the system never dominated their era...heck Wilt only won when he adjusted his game and played within a system. I'll give Bron credit tho...he's prob the only player to be able to win anything without adjusting his game whatsoever really lol...but it ultimately limited how much he could have won...
@@futurekillerful agreed but LeBron has that over any player in history. And also u can't say they didn't dominate their eras. Because they did. Though sometimes it is to his detriment.
Everyone needs a team built around them to win. No one wins without a team. Wilt Chamberlain didn't win without it, neither did Michael Jordan, nor Magic Johnson and neither did Lebron James. You need a team to win a championship.
Thank you Nick Wright. These are facts that every "Air head" ignores. They make out Jordan only played 6 seasons with the 6-0 argument. Imagine how his resume would look if Pippen didn't sign that ridiculous contract? And signing Dennis Rodman, the guy who helped destroy the Bulls seems to fly under the radar as well. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Jordan fan but there is soo much smoke and mirrors people need to look past...
I bet 1k dollars you never even seen Jordan play a game in you life, that didn't take place on UA-cam. The 2011 nba finals removes Lebron from anything GOAT related
Well wade, Bosh, kyrie, Anthony Davis, we’re all better than scotie piping? MJ didn’t form a superteam, if mJ wanted to chase rings, he would have teamed up with Phil Jackson when he went to lakers but didn’t, Scotty only averaged 20 points and never won any ring without MJ and MJ had scoring Titles and LBJ east was so horrible, thats y he kept getting swept, even in 2009 when LBJ won his 1st MVP there was a commercial highlighting LBJ vs KObe finals, only for LBJ to get eliminated by Orlando margic in the conference finals, Dhight Hayward, Kobe destroyed that Orlando team in jist 5 games
Some facts that might hurt Nicks feelings Lebron and Kobe Played a combined 37 Seasons in the league, with a combined 16 Hall of Fame teammates, to combine for 6 Finals MVPs 5 Regular Season MVPs 3 Scoring titles 0 DPOY Jordan Played 13 seasons with the Bulls, with a total of 2 Hall of Fame teammates, and won 6 Finals MVPs 5 MVPs 10 scoring titles 1 DPOY
It’s a little misleading by you and skews the numbers. This is a more accurate way of depicting their careers.

Kobe,shaq,duncan,and robinson won when he was 40 years old on the wizards and hakeem won after his dad died and he went to play baseball. Nick Wright is Nick wrong as always
I think longevity needs to be taken into account. While MJ might’ve had the highest Peek, LeBron was better than a lot of MJs career for much longer. So it’ll probably come down to if LeBron can win any more chips.
At no point was Lebron ever better than Jordan 😂 Longevity is working against Lebron because he played 6 more full seasons and he is STILLS a full HOF career behind him
I see this a year later and I don’t think longevity is a big thing in the goat debate because if is in another sport like hockey gordie Howe should be the goat since he played in his 50s
He doesn’t have to. He’s won 4 with 3 DIDFERENT teams. That’s already harder than the chip Jordan won because he was on the best team. When Jordan tried to win without Scotties Bulls, he lost 100% of the time. Facts! Bron’s 4 is greater than Jordan’s easier 6
Jordan played on the greatest team in NBA history during a less skilled era. Why do you think Jordan stayed up under Phil and a Scottie. Once he found himself without the greatest teams, Jordan lost 100% of the time.
The Celtics ate, The Lakers ate, the pistons ate, Houston ate, he couldn't even beat Celtics even a single game in the playoffs, maybe Chris doesn't remember that 😂
How do you nitpick lebron but don’t nitpick Jordan? I don’t understand how this goat debate works. Downplay everything lebron does so Jordan can keep his goat status? That’s basically what it sounds like

People should stop using the free throw case. That's pointless. It's only a flaw, when the free throw percentage is lower than the field goal percentage. If you foul to much, you are not only allowing easier points, you also can't defend that aggressive anymore, because of foul trouble. LeBron is also not running from the free throw line. He is always looking for high quality shots. He is complaining about so many uncalled fouls for a reason, which kept him away from the free throw line.

Duncan , Robinson, shaq, Kobe won when Jordan was 40, drexler, Hakeem won when he retired. That’s a joke. Jordan never lost once he got one all star. Lebron lost 5 finals with atleast 2 other active all stars on his team. That’s the difference
I hate the part of Chris’ argument where he says that once Jordan started winning titles, no one won on his watch. Outside of the Lakers (and even they dealt with injuries), which team did Jordan face that was superior to the Bulls in the Finals? Now granted, a big part of the reason the Bulls were better than everyone else is because they had Mike, but other teams don’t stack up. Plus, if we put Jordan in LeBron’s shoes, he doesn’t accomplish what LeBron has. Jordan would’ve beat the Mavs if he was in LeBron’s place, for sure. But Jordan wouldn’t have taken the first or last Cleveland team to the finals. Wouldn’t have made a 3-1 comeback (but it can be debated if that team would’ve been in a 3-1 deficit), he would’ve won the same championships, and lost the same ones (outside of the Mavs one I already excluded). And if LeBron was in Jordan’s place, he would’ve won the same championships, and maybe more because he wouldn’t have retired. So the Finals record argument should really die because it’s a team sport and while they were both the best players during their eras, they both didn’t face the same level of competition in the Finals
@nabil chowdhury Jordan wouldn’t have been able to carry those same weak teams in a weak conference. The weak east is another, separate conversation. I was only talking about one part of Chris’ argument
I swear even THE BIG IF Lebron ended his career with 7 rings. MJ fans will say Lebron got it easy and MJ is the GOAT. I can see this is happening after they were bashing Lebron for having lesser rings in the past lmao
98'finals pippen scored 8 points. Jordan put up 45 points, stole the ball, hit the game winner. Seems to me he did it without him. Rewind back to the 98' regular season Pippen was injured for 48 games, MJ led the bulls to the playoffs by going 36-12 without him. Rewind back to pippens 1st two seasons where he averaged 8 points per game and was a bench warmer. Yes MJ was 1-9 "without pippen", but a solo MJ went against the 67 win celtics and the bad boy pistons. Lebron couldn't even make the playoffs his first two years.
Lack context again. Jordan’s Bulls were under 500 when they made the playoffs both his first two years. Lebron got the Cavs over 500 by year 2. He missed the playoffs because it was a little tougher to make the playoffs in those years than it was in Jordan’s first two years.
People could assert that Michael Jordan could still play at a similar level during the 1994-1995 season as opposed to the subjective argument that he was not ready to play high level basketball because his body did not meet his previous basketball standards since he played baseball the year prior. For example, Michael Jordan’s best scoring game was a 55-point performance during the 1994-1995 regular season. His best scoring game in the Chicago Bulls’ historic 1995-1996 regular season was a 53-point game. People can assert that he played at a similar rate in both years because of this. His team loss to the Orlando Magic in six games in 1994-1995 playoffs but for some reason media members don’t criticize him for melting down during that series. His numbers may have not been similar because the Magic played well enough to prevent that from happening. Correct me if I’m wrong but the NBA Finals is the biggest stage. It would be worse to melt down in prior series. Him melting down during the Eastern Conference Semifinals is worse compared to LeBron James melting down during the 2010-2011 NBA Finals. This is just one instance of the media controlling the narrative in Jordan’s favor. Media members like Broussard can’t say, “When you are debating the GOAT, you nitpick” and don’t nitpick other player’s careers other than Jordan’s.
How did Michael have a meltdown in 1995, when he scored 38, 40, 39, 26, how is that a meltdown? Compared to LBJ that averaged 19 and got outscored by Jason Terry, a bench player, in fact mJ averaged more points than shaq in that 1995 conference semifinals, thats y no1 talks about it, coz it’s not a meltdown just because they lost and he came back and swept them in 1996, and blew them out.
Who do you think is the GOAT: LeBron James or Michael Jordan?

Led league in steals 3x, won DPOY, 5 MVPs. And nvr winning against Larry Bird... sure but that was a team with at least 5 HoFers and MJ was alone. And Larry Bird himself after playing against MJ said that he saw *God disguised as Michael Jordan* . MJ didn’t lose for lack of effort. This the same dude who questioned his own coaches and upper management for trying to tank and lose to get good draft picks. He said winning is the point of every game, if we’re not trying to win then why are we playing basketball... he gave everything every single game. LeBron and his ‘load management’ would never fly with MJ.. ever. He nvr cheated the fans out of seeing him play and his greatness.

Jordan had a breakdown moment, against the magic when they stole the ball from him and they were saying "45 isn't 23", it wasn't in the finals so it doesn't get attention
agreed, but it ain't quite 8 points, then 17 points, then 21 points in game 4 5 and 6, while scoring an average of 2 points in the 4th quarter. MJ still averaged 31 pts on 48% shooting, that series. Nowhere near as bad as lebron's meltdown. If that's a meltdown for jordan, you just proved why hes the goat. Jordan came back with 17 games left in that season, and was out of shape. Those mistakes he made down the stretch were due to his lack of basketball fitness. Even Nick Anderson said "no 45 ain't no 23, i coudlnt have done that to no 23". Jordan came back the next year 72-10 and three peated
In that "breakdown momente" he averaged 31p - 6r - 4a on 48%fg, is not like he averaged 17ppg or shot 35%fg like lebron did in 2007 and 2011.

This will forever be my favorite argument on the discussion. In this debate both arguments are forced on aspects outside of rings and fake narratives. Chris saying “Jordan had no weaknesses in his game” is an amazing argument nobody ever says
problem is thought that every point of Nicks either lacks too much context to be credible or is a straight up lie, like how the East (post 1991) had 3x teams (other than the Bulls) with multiple HOF players
Jordan did have weaknesses. He gambled far too often on steals and often left the defender open. He was a poor 3 point shooter even for his era. He didn’t use his passing ability enough because he was an underrated playmaker but he took too many shots. Every player has weaknesses
@@yahiakamel2747 Agreed. There are more weaknesses. MJ didn't trust his teammates to make a shot, so he kept shooting. He also gambled way too much outside the game, which arguably put him out of the league.
Also, when claiming that the stage was too big for anyone - that's just an interpretation. When MJ fumbled and turned the ball over against the Magic when they lost, MJ fans simply just ignore that. For some reason, MJ has gotten a series of free passes on his shortcomings. Everyone has weaknesses, MJ fans simply choose to ignore them.
I also think that this is a definitional problem. What do people mean when they say "Greatest"? Is it the one with most championship wins? Best win percentage? All-time achievements? How are different achievements weighted against each other? For instance, how do you compare longevity compared to win percentage? If you have a shorter successful career, then it's easier to have a higher win percentage. It's because people are irrational and biased these things get confused, and the debate goes on forever.
MJ also has the weakness that he burns out easily. He also can’t carry a team without a HOF coach.
Chris totally forgot Dwight Howard, a surefire Hall of Famer, when he talked about Lakers Hall of Famers.

the same reason Bron is GOAT people ignore the fact that he wasn't winning all those years in Cleveland or all those years vs golden state

This has the potential to become an all-time rant. Nick completely dismantled these skewed Jordan talking points that never really get challenged in the media.
Bro please make more vids 🙏
He said all that about MJ but he’s still 6-0 in the finals...think about that. Still have more rings than Bron....Never lost a finals, never been to a game 7, always been the best player on the court OFFENSIVELY & DEFENSIVELY...
@@jamesmurphy4089 And Robert Horry is still 7-0 in the Finals. Horry has more rings than Jordan. Championships are team accomplishments. How many rings you have isn't indicative of how good or bad a player you are in a team sport.

The argument for Jordan is always that his career was 6 years long and he won 6 times lol. Say what you will, but never talking about Jordan's failures is a disservice to every other player that ever suited up in the NBA.
In truth we see these debates all the time, but no one ever sets the tone by how we are defining "greatest." What does that word actually mean and how is it truly measured?
exactly what I think!
Saed Hill i think it should be measured by how valuable the player is to his team and i think without question lebron is more valuable

The competition LeBron faced has to be absolutely considered. LeBron faces multiple super teams, 08 Celtics, 2013-14 spurs, 2016-17 warriors and beat them all at some point. Jordan never beat the big three Celtics or the bad boy pistons, and never faced another dynasty level team when he went on his title run.
lol, Lebron formed superteams himself, i have no sympathy for him losing to other superteams. He picked his players. Lebron also had some pathetic eastern conferences
@@skipbayless4375 08 celtics and 2014 spurs were not superteams and lebron played on superteams himself. Jordan sweept the bad boys pistons.
That's because MJ kept teams from being Dynasties by beating them. Two three-peats! You know how hard it is to 3-peat? Even the Warriors failed to do that.
@@Shady00018 yea against what competition? what team in the EAST did jordan play with hall of famers?

Nick Wrong
@@MeronT13 He knows his stats, but everything he said doesn’t matter. He said MJ never beat Bird, but completely ignored the fact that Bird had 4 other hall of famers playing with him. That while MJ was mostly by himself and was a baby. That’s like criticizing LeBron for losing in 2007 to the Spurs.
I love this Nick Wright take!! 😂
People make too much of Jordan's 3-peat. Of the three 3-peats, the common thread was The Great Phil Jackson. Phil proved that the 3-peat success was repeatable, without MJ.
Nick makes a great point that Jordan never got far without Pippen. However, Pippen got to the conference finals without MJ, and got success with the Blazers too. When Jordan retired that Bulls team was still great. But when LeBron leaves a team, they don't even make playoffs for years!
the Heat tbf made the playoffs only a year after LeBron left and would’ve made it the year he did leave but Wade and Bosh especially missed 20+ games. Them loss of LeBron didn’t drop them off the map completely
Pippen did nothing for the Blazers. And Cavs stripped down the whole roster after Lebron left the 1st time. Get your facts together bro.
pipin is not better than wade, Bosh, kyrie and Anthony Divis, scotie averaged 20 points and MJ didn’t go and join superteams after Chicago and LBJ east was too weak, coz in 2007 the real finals was in the western conference and Phil Jackson didn’t treepeat twice, after the bulls and Miami still made deep playoff runs After LBJ left and if to say LBJ was in the west, in his early career he won’t make it past the 1st round, Sprur, Lakers, Phoenix, when he didn’t have any help, that’s y 2018 Rockets took warriors to 7 games, and LBJ got swept, and Tim Dunkan, almost swept Lebron in 2014, by the biggest margin, in a final’s history with an average margin of 18 points, b4 he ran back to Cleveland when wade and bosh started declining, b4 the warriors took over.
If LBj would had lost there is no goat convo.... if he wins, oh i don't matter. Lmao. Haters will always hate. LBJ is BY FAR a better all around player than MJ. As the stats indicate. Case freaking closed
@nabil chowdhury well. Stats indicate that. More points. Rebounds. Assists. 3s. Etc. Only stat MJ is better at is free throws. Lebron still has 3 seasons left, by then , he will be ahead by 8k points. 6k rebounds. 6 k assists. And a shitload more 3s, blocks and steals. . So yeah. By far
MJ HAS 0 triple doubles in the finals how is he better all around than LBJ who has 11!!
I like the 1-9 without pippen but nobody mentions the teams that jordan has played!!
@@nickyborda3986 stats are overrated!
So Bron went from arguably 6-8 to now being 5th. Oh okay

LeBron would have won more Championships but he ran into possibly one of the greatest teams ever the Golden State Warriors 4 years in a row....
Thank u...
Facts!
Not to mention that team was formed because of him.
Because of weak KD
@False Email straight facts!
MJ’s weakness was pretty Obvious, he’s just like every other great player that still needed to have a team built around him And system to be the Cog of. Jordan never was his own system outside of ball hog to death, that’s what it was in Chicago before Jackson and Pippen came to town. Only people that pay attention to the 6 championship runs don’t understand that Jordan was mortal.
that's not a weakness lol... If you want to win you should play within a system....players like Bron and Wilt that decided to be the system never dominated their era...heck Wilt only won when he adjusted his game and played within a system.
I'll give Bron credit tho...he's prob the only player to be able to win anything without adjusting his game whatsoever really lol...but it ultimately limited how much he could have won...
It's possible that everyone will just trash this comment so I'm just gonna say it. Thanks for saying this and I agree
@@futurekillerful agreed but LeBron has that over any player in history. And also u can't say they didn't dominate their eras. Because they did. Though sometimes it is to his detriment.
Everyone needs a team built around them to win. No one wins without a team. Wilt Chamberlain didn't win without it, neither did Michael Jordan, nor Magic Johnson and neither did Lebron James. You need a team to win a championship.
@@dewayne33us but you can make a case that lebron has done better than anyone else when he hasn't had a co star

They make out Jordan only played 6 seasons with the 6-0 argument.
Imagine how his resume would look if Pippen didn't sign that ridiculous contract? And signing Dennis Rodman, the guy who helped destroy the Bulls seems to fly under the radar as well.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Jordan fan but there is soo much smoke and mirrors people need to look past...

Some facts that might hurt Nicks feelings
Lebron and Kobe
Played a combined 37 Seasons in the league, with a combined 16 Hall of Fame teammates, to combine for
6 Finals MVPs
5 Regular Season MVPs
3 Scoring titles
0 DPOY
Jordan
Played 13 seasons with the Bulls, with a total of 2 Hall of Fame teammates, and won
6 Finals MVPs
5 MVPs
10 scoring titles
1 DPOY
THATS A NICE TRY ALTHOUGH HALF OF THOSE HALL OF FAMERS WERENT HOF CALIBER WHEN LEBRON PLAYED WITH THEM
KOBE DID YES
JORDAN HAD PRIME HOF GUYS
It’s a little misleading by you and skews the numbers. This is a more accurate way of depicting their careers.
Number of seasons playing next to a HOF teammate:
MJ: 10 of 15
Lebron: 13 of 21
Number of seasons playing next to multiple HOF teammates:
MJ: 3 of 15
Lebron: 5 of 21
Number of HOFers beaten in the playoffs:
MJ: 23
Lebron: 24 locks (not counting multiple fringe candidates that could one day make it)
@@omieg89 this is completely factually incorrect. 4 seasons with Bosh & Wade, 3 Seasons Kyrie and Love, & 4 straight seasons with multiple HOF teamates for Lebron from 2020-2023. That’s 11 seasons for Lebron with multiple HOF team mates
Nick added Hakeem, Drexler, Shaq, Kobe, Duncan & Robinson when Jordan was retired 😩🤣😂 this generation will run with any lie

Jordan played on the greatest team in NBA history during a less skilled era. Why do you think Jordan stayed up under Phil and a Scottie. Once he found himself without the greatest teams, Jordan lost 100% of the time.

@@jahleelx9270and to me, the Lebron fans are not as emotional. Most Lebron fans admit that 2011 was a low point. By Lebron standards. They don’t lie about it. But Jordan fans worship MJ and refuse to admit to any failures.
People should stop using the free throw case. That's pointless. It's only a flaw, when the free throw percentage is lower than the field goal percentage.
If you foul to much, you are not only allowing easier points, you also can't defend that aggressive anymore, because of foul trouble. LeBron is also not running from the free throw line. He is always looking for high quality shots. He is complaining about so many uncalled fouls for a reason, which kept him away from the free throw line.
You can't be top 1 in yo class if you have one failing grade 🤷🏽♂️ People acting we disrespecting Bron for saying he is Top 2 all time. 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
good point. Plus he leads all players in the playoffs so free throw is not a weakness.
@@GG-vp6qo so what would you grade Jordan as a playmaker? Passing the ball and getting others going wasn't really Jordan's thing. Magic showed the world Jordan couldn't handle a big aggressive guard. Keep him in foul trouble. So we really need to stop this lie that Jordan was basketball perfection wrapped in flesh. He was super athletic in a not so athletic league. Just like folks try to knock Wilt since he was just head and shoulders more athletic than the rest, that was Jordan in the 80s and early 90s. Jordan was no more dominate than Kareem at 5 or James at 3 or Magic at 1 or Duncan at 4.
@@antuanleach6762 as a playmaker? well, Jordan had seven consecutive triple-doubles games as a point guard in 1988. He can pass if he wanted to but playmaking wasn't his thing. I don't see that as a weakness, buddy.

Nick Wrong is a pathetic excuse for an analyst
I hate the part of Chris’ argument where he says that once Jordan started winning titles, no one won on his watch. Outside of the Lakers (and even they dealt with injuries), which team did Jordan face that was superior to the Bulls in the Finals? Now granted, a big part of the reason the Bulls were better than everyone else is because they had Mike, but other teams don’t stack up.
Plus, if we put Jordan in LeBron’s shoes, he doesn’t accomplish what LeBron has. Jordan would’ve beat the Mavs if he was in LeBron’s place, for sure. But Jordan wouldn’t have taken the first or last Cleveland team to the finals. Wouldn’t have made a 3-1 comeback (but it can be debated if that team would’ve been in a 3-1 deficit), he would’ve won the same championships, and lost the same ones (outside of the Mavs one I already excluded). And if LeBron was in Jordan’s place, he would’ve won the same championships, and maybe more because he wouldn’t have retired. So the Finals record argument should really die because it’s a team sport and while they were both the best players during their eras, they both didn’t face the same level of competition in the Finals
@nabil chowdhury yeah but guys literally had to be together to eat. Jordan beat 1-2 star teams

Nick Wright bodied Jordan with the facts.
98'finals pippen scored 8 points. Jordan put up 45 points, stole the ball, hit the game winner. Seems to me he did it without him.
Rewind back to the 98' regular season Pippen was injured for 48 games, MJ led the bulls to the playoffs by going 36-12 without him.
Rewind back to pippens 1st two seasons where he averaged 8 points per game and was a bench warmer.
Yes MJ was 1-9 "without pippen", but a solo MJ went against the 67 win celtics and the bad boy pistons.
Lebron couldn't even make the playoffs his first two years.
But he won more games
Lack context again. Jordan’s Bulls were under 500 when they made the playoffs both his first two years. Lebron got the Cavs over 500 by year 2. He missed the playoffs because it was a little tougher to make the playoffs in those years than it was in Jordan’s first two years.
Back in Jordan years nobody was teaming up times are different
exactly. Player empowerment. Imagine if the Sonics got Malone or something
LeBron gave players the power to move. Before then it wasn't so easy
Skipping over Kobe is the only tragedy here

People could assert that Michael Jordan could still play at a similar level during the 1994-1995 season as opposed to the subjective argument that he was not ready to play high level basketball because his body did not meet his previous basketball standards since he played baseball the year prior. For example, Michael Jordan’s best scoring game was a 55-point performance during the 1994-1995 regular season. His best scoring game in the Chicago Bulls’ historic 1995-1996 regular season was a 53-point game. People can assert that he played at a similar rate in both years because of this. His team loss to the Orlando Magic in six games in 1994-1995 playoffs but for some reason media members don’t criticize him for melting down during that series. His numbers may have not been similar because the Magic played well enough to prevent that from happening. Correct me if I’m wrong but the NBA Finals is the biggest stage. It would be worse to melt down in prior series. Him melting down during the Eastern Conference Semifinals is worse compared to LeBron James melting down during the 2010-2011 NBA Finals. This is just one instance of the media controlling the narrative in Jordan’s favor. Media members like Broussard can’t say, “When you are debating the GOAT, you nitpick” and don’t nitpick other player’s careers other than Jordan’s.
How did Michael have a meltdown in 1995, when he scored 38, 40, 39, 26, how is that a meltdown? Compared to LBJ that averaged 19 and got outscored by Jason Terry, a bench player, in fact mJ averaged more points than shaq in that 1995 conference semifinals, thats y no1 talks about it, coz it’s not a meltdown just because they lost and he came back and swept them in 1996, and blew them out.
