Bill Russell could have had 12 rings rather than the measly 11 he ended up with.
Wow, thats super unfortunate 😂
Actually 13 little boy
@@hausiana80actually 12 “little boy”
Only 11? What a loser!
@@hausiana80 dumb
I think the 2013 Championship is very significant for LeBron, almost on par with the 2016 chip. If Ray Allen doesn't hit that 3 and TimmyD went 6-0, you'd have to put Duncan over Lebron on the GOAT list because not only # of rings (6>3), Duncan will be seen as LeBron's Kryptonite since he would've won all 3 meetings in the final
Not to discredit, but lebron helped them get into a situation where it was close, plus ray allen was scoreless in game 7. Ik that is ray didnt hit that shot then his legacy will be kinda ruined but lebron showed up way more than ray allen. I agree with ur Tim Duncan > Lebron if they dont win those finals though
If popivich didn't sub Tim out he would be talked about liked this also quick reminder that if doc rivers allowed Tim Duncan's wife on the game planes and rooms
Idk about Timmy being above lebron in goat ranking even with the perfect finals record I Timmy lacks the stats and the cultural impact to rise above his position here’s my ranking
1.MJ
2.LBJ
3. KAJ
1-3 interchangeable
4. Wilt
5. Bill
6. Bird
7. Magic
4-7 interchangeable
8. Tim Ducan
9. Kobe
10. Shaq
8-10 interchangeable
11. Steph
12. Hakeem
13. KD
All 3 of these guys have asterisks that remove em from top 10 but Steph and KD still active they can break through to the top
Lebron would gain the most and lose the most in this scenario. 10-0 with at least 9 finals mvps (wade was better in the finals in 2011) makes him the undisputed GOAT while losing his 2016 ring or 1 for 4 with Miami drops him probably out of the top 5
Totally agree. Except I think Bron falls to KD levels of disrespect. If he loses that much. He is just a ring chaser creating failed super teams. In a weak conference, he just got lucky 1 time.
only thing about this is every other player was close to going undefeated except for Lebron which makes his scenario wayyy less possible then Currys cuz he could realistically have 6 rings Lebron has no scenario is undefeated
The only way the Heat win the 2011 Finals if LeBron balls out, which automatically gives LeBron the FMVP because a hypothetically good performance LeBron is 99% certain to preform better than Wade
@@metallicarequiem2936 the wrong 🤣😭🤣 “ the only way” WRONGGGG
I wish you talked about Elgin Baylor and Jerry West
1-9 💀💀💀
Same here. A part 2 will probably come fairly soon.
I was abt to say the same as Jerry west is in the opening but he said nothing abt him in the video
If will affect Bill Russell’s rings
Let, me break it down. Jerry west wins 10 rings I don't know if that makes him the goat. But, one thing for sure. Is, that he would probably be the best point guard ever. Bill russell, only gets 4 rings. While, he would still be a top 10 center of all time. He, wouldn't be as big of an icon. He, dosent get his wouldn't have the finals MVP named after him. Which, would likely be Jerry West. Likely, wouldn't have gotten his Jersey retired after his death. Also, the celtics wouldn't have had there dynasty. Would, not be the historical franchise they ate today. Also, Wilt would end up with 5 rings, would be in the debate for the greatest center of all-time. There, you have it. What do you think
If Kevin Durant hadn't moved to the Warriors, LeBron might have won a few championships with the Cavaliers.
Many star players have been expected to be the next Jordan in their youth, including Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and the younger generation Kevin Durant and Dwyane Wade.
But no other player has been compared to Michael Jordan as harshly as LeBron James throughout his career.
It is because of his actions when u come to the league and write chosen one at ur back and declare u are the greatest which even mj doesn’t do then such comparision is going to come from the media harsely.
@@randikochaak the media gave him the nickname "chosen one" not himself.
@user-jw5qj8kv2y Only Penny , Grant Hill, Kobe, Vince and Lebron were considered the "Next Jordan"
@@randikochaakthe media called himself that. Lebron just said he believes he’s the GOAT. Kobe has said that he believes he’s the GOAT and MJ has strongly implied that. Lebron has a stronger GOAT case then Kobe, but no one criticizes him for saying he’s the GOAT, I wonder why.
@d3va383 kobe 9 out of 10 times is humble about it. Says he's not in a league with Jordan, says he's not a goat, says he's not top 5, says others are better. Lebron 9 times out 10 runs with he's the goat narrative.
I love how happy Kawhi and sad Kawhi is the same face.
If you do more of these I would like to see:
Elgin Baylor & Jerry West
Kareem
Bird
Olajuwon
Wilt
Dr. J
Stockton & Malone
Jimmy Butler
Jerry west going undefeated in the finals would rocket him from his current top 25ish all time status to probably top 5 so I think he'd have the most to gain at least out of anyone with at least 1 ring.
I think a few greats that would've benefitted tremendously with a perfect finals record is Wes Unseld, Dennis Johnson and most importantly, Dr. J and Wilt.
Jerry West too, he would've had 9 rings, taking away most of Bill Russell's while putting up insane stats the whole time
The thing about this is, if LeBron in Miami won 4 straight, do you think he would go back to Cleveland or stay in Miami to try and win more? It really felt he ditched the Heat because he thought their window closed due to Wade's injuries & decline.
6:23 Shaq beat MJ bulls in 95 when Jordan was playing tho, en route to the finals
Kareem: 71 AND 74 with the Bucks on top of the 8 he had with Magic, unless, against all odds, he came back to play in 1991 as well.
3:26 wth is going on with James leg lol
Great what if vid
It's not even a question.....in these hypothetical situations, clearly, LeBron would benefit the most. 10-0 with an 8peat, and most likely 8-10 finals MVPS....that scenario would make him the undisputed GOAT of basketball, and possibly of professional American sports....10-0 NBA champ vs 7-3 Tom Brady, vs 7 WS titles for Babe Ruth, Wayne Gretzky with 4 Stanley Cups.....a case could be made
now i would like to see what if the legends had not won a single finals series
Bron would have been Chasing Bill instead of Chasing Mike 😂😂😂
In terms of rings yes, but LeBron is still the GOAT
@@metallicarequiem2936debatable.

1. MJ
2. LeBron
3. Kareem
4. Magic
5. Tim Duncan
6. Shaq
7. Kobe
8. Bird
9. Bill Russell
10. Steph Curry
Fun fact, Bill Russell lost those final series because he got injured
6:46 Darko Milicic would be ringless.
what was the bg music during kobe's part
If magic went 9-0, kareem would have 10 rings. Would be a hard case to make for magic to be the goat. This is a very cool video. 😂
MJ >> Curry on Defense but Curry >> MJ @ Golf, which must sting much more.
"make the shooting guard debate even close"
Mamba Meat Nation wouldn't let you
Don't forget about the ringless players who made it to the finals but lost
Barkley, CP3, Westbrook, Harden, Reggie Miller, etc…
But if Bob Petit and the Hawks lost to the Celtics in 1958, Russell and the Celtics would had a 9-peat!
actually, no because bill russell won 9 chips in 10 years and that win would have give him that 10th chip
actually, 10-peat from '57 to '66
I hate KD for joining an already stacked warriors team, he could've done his rings with OKC but he just had to join 4 future HOF just to beat LeBron. If Lebron won 2 of those rings + a ring with the dallas, he'd be totally the no-brainer GOAT.
3:26 6:44 Derek Fisher would had got 1 more ring than Kobe anyway. They have the same number of rings despite Fisher leaving the Lakers twice.
frankly i'd have duncan as the goat if he won 2013 and 2014 but 2014 was the team getting together and working harder *because* of that loss
The fact that they didn't make a what if scenario for Michael Jordan illustrates why he's the GOAT.
When Lebron is crying because he lost to KD Kaw hi is just staring with no face at all
Aint no way i thought that was sushi on the thumbnail 😭😭😭😭
Good video. But how can you completely dismiss Kareem Abdul Jabbar?!?
I wish Lebron and magic had perfect record personally
I think if Duncan would go 6-0 he would be easily top 5 player maybe even top 3 all time. He would beat Lebron 3 time which would be the great argument against Lebron who is second greatest player off all time, so i think he would be number 2. Also we need Larry Bird, Kareem, Jerry west and Hakeems episode
Duncan is already top 5; 1. MJ, 2. LeBron, 3. Kobe, 4. Duncan, 5. Kareem.
@@xArkseyx No i don't think so. I think Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and Kareem are still better. But I respect if someone say he is top 5 because he is so underrated 2 way player and have winner mentality
@@xArkseyxLebron at 2 is kind of an exaggeration.
Jerry West and Elgin Baylor. 8 in a row.
Kareem is underrated no mater what. 2nd All Time leading scorer and 6 rings
Jerry West :)
What about jae crowder??
7 time champion, Andre Iguodala
If Jerry West went 9-0, Phil Jackson would have had 0 rings as a player.
If LeBron won three in a row in his early career, he would never have left Cleveland.
Maybe he would've gotten in beef with the franchise or something
3:23 harden's leg injury
I hate that people underrate bill Russel. 11-1 should have him in the goat debate IMO and 12-0 with a decade-peat would seal the discussion to me. If the point is to win, why not call the winningest player ever by a large margin the GOAT?
It's the opposite phenomenon that happens between McHale and Horry. Both were role players but Horry has more rings. Why is McHale a top 75 player but Horry isn't?
NBA discussions are strange
Russel's rings are such a hard debate because he played when there were only 8 teams in the league. If you were on the best team, you didn't have to fight through quality competition to get to the finals, and even in the finals, you might not be playing a team that's all that great.
He is a great, for sure, but he is absolutely the poster of "Rings don't mean everything," and why he's constantly out of top-10 all-time debates.
@@TaQa04 Russell is not the GOAT but I have yet to see people who don't have him in the top 10. That is plain stupidity
James Jones AND LeBron would had both won 7 rings, and Jones may sign an extra year for ring no.8 just for sitting on the bench.
2:00 what are you talking about KD does have 0 rings.
How if some went up against each other
1:20 don’t you mean 2?
No, because in those 3 times they faced, Duncan won 2 of them. So he'd have 2 less
@@sir_sack Oh yeah, I completely forgot about 2005
Where is MJ?
Oh.
Waiting for his Pippen just to make to finals
He already got perfect finals record
Where's John Havlichek?
Oh.
@@beefpares810 so you are telling there is someone in this video who won a ring without another strong teammate on his team? At least Pippen was drafted AND he was far from being great at the beginning of his career.
@@kolovikon2118 SO YOU'RE TELLING ME IT'S NOT A FACT THAT MJ DIDN'T WENT TO THE FINALS WITHOUT PIPPEN? THE FACT THAT MJ ALWAYS GOT SEND HOME ON 1ST OR 2ND ROUND? EVEN POST CHICAGO MJ. HE COULDN'T WIN SHIT
LBJ, KD, Magic, and Steph all would benefit so much I can't call a clear winner.
aye real question tho who is better? MJ or Lebron
Mj boy
doing this more
4:31
That was an unnecessary diss to 2020 lol. It's not a fake ring.
Sorry, but this is a dumb discussion. Succeeding in the playoffs IS part of your legacy! Asking “what if” is odd. These players all had their chances and didn’t win when the opportunity came. If you can’t perform in the playoffs, that is a reflection of you as a player. There are too many rabbit holes here.
Not to mention, KD Would have probably stayed with golden state if they had won that 2019 finals.
You can't have GOATS, it defeats the purpose.
if that was the case with curry only getting the 1 ring he would still be above dame because he went to the finals all those years prior to finally winning 1
Mj goat
I lost it when I heard that if lebron was undefeated in the finals , jr would have 5 rings .😂 Is jr the goat now ?
This why mj the best. No hypotheticals. No what ifs like the title suggest. Dude 6-0
Uhhh yeah. It's easy to be a goat in an eastern conference that was the weak Conference til just a few year
,s ago.
Its easy to be the greatest of something that has existed since the 1890s?
@@justinholland6132 Huh?? Bruh greatest of what. Make a point don't just say dumb sh*t.
There is no point on making this video. What are we talking about? Imaginary scenarios
Man you forgot to talk about Jordan
When you get swept in the first round instead, you get to keep a overhyped “perfect finals record”
You forgot Kareem
Where is Larry Bird?
What about wilt
LeBron has the most benefit from it in my honest opinion
He'll be a true king with a 10-0 record
Where is Kevon looney? He is better than all these player!!!!!
It’s hard to watch your videos man when you’re always throwing subs at players like Bron. Mickey Mouse ring and Baby thunder really? Do u watch the league man? That thunder team was READY.
They were favorites and all. People keep trying to rewrite history though. And that 2020 ring was the hardest ring of all time after the 1995 rockets and MAYBE 2011 Mavs
you shouldve did wilt
What separates Lillard and Curry is NOT just a trophy case, this has been proven multiple times when they faced off in the playoffs… Curry is better by far and I’m a heat fan. I want Lillard badly, but they’re not close. That was a false narrative people we’re trying to create
3/4ts of lebrons opponents in the east would not even make it to the playoffs if u put them in the west standing
Jordan already has
Where’s wilt and larry
Olajuwon would have 3 rings
You guys forgetting Robert Horry. 7 rings more than Jordan,lebron and kobe. 😂😂😂😂he also have more rings than Kareem Abdul jabber. 😂😂😂😊
I don't think this is a good video topic. Seems like you've covered everything now 😂
But they didn't, you know who did tho, MJ
Meat rider
But that doesn't mean that hes greater
With Pippen. Without he got 0
@@beefpares810lebron with wade bosh and allen, love and irving, davis and howard
@@VITOG17howard was kinda washed when he played with Lebron though
You're the goat if you're reading this
What if Jordan had a Perfect Finals Record?
Sorry we dont have to imagine that cause he has.
If Steve kerr was undefeated he would be 11-0 with chances to win more rings, that isn’t talked about enough
Lebron is the goat
This is why Jordan is the GOAT of GOATs
11-1 >>> 6-0
Bill Russel is the GOAT according to MJ fan logic 😂
Sound like u got some Jordan hate buddy 🤨
This video is pretty flawed, winning a ring who change many time in history, for example KD probably wouldn’t leave OKC if they won the 2012 championships
On the subject of Curry vs Lebron, most of us know that the series was rigged to give LeBron the 🏀🏀
The only time Lebron can ever be the GOAT is in “what if’s”…
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lebron being 10-0 still wouldnt make him the Goat because he had to go make a super team just to win a chip
He would still had 1 in 2007
That's why it's a whit if it's only a whit if so it never happened wake up from your dream already😂😂😂😂😂😂
