Every great one have weakness but what makes them great is that they can expose your weakness or strengths it didn't matter and im pretty sure the creater of this video cannot do nothing the real "GOATS" did.😂😂😂 Now LeBron played the prime spurs team with a cavs team that really didn't like him but he carried them to the playoffs and finals! Next he played the super team Warriors and that warriors team was just too much really nobody could beat them that year. Until bron came back with Irving and went crazy. The Prime Spurs and Super Team Warriors can beat any other teams in any era lol that's how great them 2 teams was and LeBron didn't play scrubs in the finals like other so called "GOATS" did😂😂
@@Blizzyyadigg2112but every goat didn't play scrubs 😭. Magic played Dr J, moses, birds celtics and Isiah and MJ in the finals MJ played magic, MVP barkley, Clyde and Terry, Payton and Kemp. And Stockton and Malone 2x All HOF by the way You can make a case that Magic west competition was just as weak as Bron east comp Neither really had hard paths to get there
Birds final “healthy” season (84-85) is his statistically best season, yes even better than 85-86. If he was healthier and his teammates didn’t have bad injury luck, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Celtics would have been able to win at least another title and compete in the late 80’s and early 90’s, as if they weren’t already
@@jaycob1830 I'd say 87-88 was his best statistical season, though not by much. He averaged 30 9 and 6 on 50-40-90 splits, and it's the second highest scoring 50-40-90 season ever behind 2016 Curry. The Celtics won 6 fewer games, but it's still just as impressive considering that DJ and Parish had regressed quite a bit at that point. He was definitely still in his prime, he played 39 minutes per game in 76 games

@@Post2k69great video! Not trying to make you feel bad or anything but I’d like to share my opinion on lebron. Only one thing about lebron at the end is even though he was 4-6 he had to face teams like the spurs with kawhi, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobill, and Tim Duncan and then the warriors not to mention he was forced to carry the team in multiple years for example the 2015 nba finals, Kyrie was one of the main scorers and was injuried and not to mention that Kevin Love didn’t even play in the 2015 NBA finals because of a shoulder injury against Boston. So if lebron had better teammates he probably wouldn’t have that record I agree in 2011 he was terrible on the court and it was just outrageous and 2013 Ray Allen saved lebron’s career (I guess?) so 2015 should’ve been a ring, and that would mean he is 5-5 including Ray allen’s shot because history is history but I don’t think with Kyrie and Kevin love both healthy that he’s beating 2017 and 2018 warriors but loved the video just subbed! 🔥🔥🔥
This is why the NBA GOAT debate SHOULD NOT exist. Basketball is a team sport, and there are a lot of things to take into context such as eras, rules, talents, gamestyle, health, etc.
I see what you’re saying, but then there shouldn’t ever be a debate on anyone being greater than anyone ever, which we obviously know that players are better than players. But I get it I don’t think there’s a goat in basketball either
The most under rated player of all-time must be Jabbar. Anyone who claims to have had a better basketball career better wake up and slap themselves. With 3 NCAA titles at UCLA and all 3 Naismith awards. He only managed to win a measly 6 NBA MVP's and 6 NBA titles. The disrespect from sport media toward Jabbar has been well documented, and clearly still exist today.
@@BoosterGoldEarth6 Bill did not score like Kareem did. No one has! Perhaps you forgot Jabbar has more FG's made than anyone ever. More points, MVP's and college titles than Jordan as well.

@@infiniteuniverse9528 Kareem played in one of, if not possibly the weakest era in all of basketball and didn't start winning more championships until he had stacked team. Also, Jordan only played 15 seasons, 4 of them he was either not healthy or couldn't even play fully

Check the stats and stop trying to bellittle his accomplishments.
To be honest the watered down argument can be said for the 2010s too. They expanded the roster spots from 12 to 18 adding around 192 players to the league.
watered down in the sense of making it easier to be in the league, doesn't make teams weaker though which is what people are talking about with mj's era

1900s was one of the toughest eras💀 Hakeem, Malone, Kobe, Robinson, Barkley, Shaq, P Hardaway, T Hardaway, Gary Peyton, Alonzo, D Wilkins, Kemp, KG, Duncan, Stockton, Clyde, Ainge, Ewing, and John Starks. They are all greats but MJ was much better than all of them.

I'll give credit for the thought process and layout of the video, however, one question, how does one equate a NBA that had: Hakeem Olajuwon, Clyde Drexler, Charles Barkley, David Robinson, Penny Hardaway, Shaquille O'Neal, Chris Webber, Glen Rice, Glen Robinson, Dominique Wilkins, Mookie Blaylock, Patrick Ewing, John Starks, Charles Oakley, John Stockton, Karl Malone, Jeff Hornacek, Grant Hill, Joe Dumars, Mark Jackson, Reggie Miller, Latrell Sprewell, Larry Johnson, Gary Payton, Shawn kemp, Nate McMillan, Dell Curry, Kevin Johnson, Dan Majerle, Tim Hardaway, Alonzo Mourning, Mitch Richmond, Derrick Coleman, Clifford Robinson, Kenny Anderson, Dana Barros, Chris Mullin, Kevin Garnett, Eddie Jones...............I can keep going and going You sure you want to stand by "watered down" era for Jordan? 😁
2:43 How tf does that affect the top tier teams? I seriously hate this false narrative that adding teams somehow makes championships weaker. If 5 High School teams were added to the NBA tomorrow, it won't make winning a championship any easier. The top 8 teams from each conference still make the playoffs, the bottom feeding teams will still be bottom feeding, it doesn't make the path to the finals any easier like you claim. You clearly don't know the basics of how the NBA playoffs work. 3:36 MJ still whooped him before his retirement. If he didn't retire, Jordan would still beat the Lakers. Casuals try to push this silly narrative that Magic was out of his prime or something. No.. 91' was one of his better seasons, he literally just won MVP the season prior. In 91' he was All NBA 1st Team, and came 2nd in MVP right behind MJ. 3:40 Bird was already losing to the Pistons by the late 80s. 3:45 Once Jordan got a 1 single developed allstar teammate. The Pistons weren't a threat. People need to understand that the only reason these teams were beating Jordan in the 80s is cause Jordan was on a garbage lottery team with teammates who couldn't even dream of making an allstar team for their entire career. Give Jordan even a decent team and he beats Birds Celtics, Magics Lakers, and Isiah Pistons even if all 3 teams joined together into ONE SUPERTEAM. We literally have evidence of this when Jordan, Patrick Ewing, Chris Mullen, Alvin Robertson, etc whooped an NBA Allstar team that was a combination of the Celtics, Pistons, and Lakers *8-0* 3:48 Len Bias wouldn't have been on Jordan's level. He had good talent but not the work ethic or mindset. While Jordan was improving year by year through rigorous training and playing. Len was out partying and doing drugs. 4:08 It's tough to become an all time greats when Jordan is the one winning everything. Such a poor argument by a clear casual.
@@Yooojayy See, the thing about butthurt casuals like yourself is, you're actually unable to give a rebuttal to anything I said, so you just say pathetic nonsense like "hE dOnT kNo YoU!!!1 u WrOnG!!" cause you're coping.
saying 90s are watered down but then you got teams today tanking to get better draft picks. i was not even alive during the 90s but seeing the footage made it seem more difficult to score during that time given how slow the pace is and how much more physical they are compared to other decades of nba basketball. today's nba is much more favored to cater the offense while it was the opposite during the 90s and early 2000s. heck, nba even made carrying and travelling somehow legal to make today's players look good. lol
@@lakpasherpa2994 you talking about pippen and rodman? yes they are great but those players cant carry teams to a chaimpionship as the main guy. they are talented but not on the offensive end. most of the time MJ was the one carrying the offense for the bulls whether off the ball or on the ball while still playing high level defense. talent today is severly overrated. just because they are better 3pt shooters doesnt mean they are way better players than before. rules cater to the offense now. players allowed to take more than 3 steps, allowed to carry the ball and getting and 1s through minor bumps that the offensive player initiated in the first place. bringing back physicality and you see most of the stars today get exposed how much they struggle. whenever playoffs are around, you see a dipped in their production because the nba allow more some of the physicality used back in the day. suddenly some stars are not as good as you think they are. would be so interesting watching today's players get defended by the bad boy pistons or riley's knicks.
It's facts that the 90s were watered down. How is slow pace and physicality related to talent levels? Slower pace and physicality, are conscious decisions by the league at that time, and independent of talent. Similarly, the league decided that more offense centered games is the norm. Nothing to do with talent levels
@@JayZone23No? Introducing physicality will reduce everyones production. When everyone shines a little dimmer, talent still shines just as bright relative to everyone else
@@FiddleclappedThe jazz were absolutely a challenge lmao. They had prime malone and stockton, and were arguably the favourites to win, especially in 98, when pippen and rodman were in decline.

They watered down the league with other NBA players from other teams, and those team you mentioned were in the playoffs shortly after they were made as teams. Only two teams sucked, Grizzlies and Raptors.
@@KingoftheLions-z87 Michael, Pippen, and Rodman still had to face the best of the best the nba had to offer. Karl Malone and John Stockton were the BEST pick and roll duo in NBA HISTORY! Stop it
i saw the thumbnail and i wanted to say that in the 90s the nba could literally fight without getting a tech, so jordan wasnt "weak", it was that he was hurt by people physically. the entire pistons roster that year would literally fight jordan everytime he was close to scoring
When addressing claims about a "weak" era, you can assert that Michael Jordan’s success with only one primary All-Star, Scottie Pippen, highlights his exceptional individual talent and ability to lead his team to greatness under competitive conditions. This perspective underscores that Jordan's achievements are significant and reflective of his extraordinary skill and impact, regardless of the era's perceived strength. Michael Jordan’s combination of fundamentally sound skills and extraordinary athleticism, coupled with his high basketball IQ, made him a uniquely complete player. His fundamental skills allowed him to excel in various aspects of the game, while his athleticism provided him with the edge to outperform defenders. His basketball IQ enabled him to make smart decisions and maximize his impact on both ends of the floor. Together, these qualities made Jordan not just a great player, but arguably the greatest of all time. Respect the Goat!!
@@TyroneNBAFanThis is what people leave out of Michael Jordan’s GOAT discussion “oh he never lost in the finals” but he has lost in the earlier rounds. LeBron has lost one single time in the first round his whole career which is insane, the times he’s did lose in the finals were arguably against some of the greatest teams of all time. Let’s not forget Michael was surrounded by great players but when LeBron took down the unstoppable Warriors down 3-1, how many HOF’ers did he have on his team? Kyrie Irving, the rest all role players. Yet they took down arguably the greatest team of all time, which the other team in the argument for GOAT is Jordan’s Bulls. LeBron has always done more with less and for that reason he’ll always be the GOAT to me. Also he’s 40+ still dominating.
@ It took Michael Jordan 6 years to even reach the finals and when finally did he had a stacked team around him, LeBron made it to the finals in his first 4 years with one of the most MID teams of all time. Even when he did get a solid team built around him he played against some of the greatest modern teams. As a part of a team Jordan is great but by himself he doesn’t stack up to LeBron lmao
@@McklienDela-md5bp stop being delusional, Steph curry is a beast and heck of a player. The disrespect is crazy considering he is the best shooter of all time and carrying his team while being older than most players in the roster
Prime Michael Jordan would teabag LeBron. LeBron ain't quick, they part way for him. Jordan had to earn his stats under actual pressure. Jordan and LeBron is like Patek Philippe and Rolex. Jordan keep LeBron in check.
Lebron is quick, lebron won against 2016 warriors, and mj is just scottie pippen but better at offense... Never compare lebron to mj again. Lebron is LEVELS above jorbum.
Here is a list of All-Star teammates Lebron has had: Shaquille O'Neal, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, Mo Williams, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Kyle Korver, Derrick Rose, Isaiah Thomas, Ray Allen, Antawn Jamison, Anthony Davis, D'Angelo Russell, Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony, not to mention NBA 6th Man Of The Year JR Smith. BTW, Michael Jordan played with ONE All-Star - Scotty Pippen.
Personally the 2011 finals is the only finals series I hold against him because the other times he lost the GOAT power forward twice with once having a horrendous Cavs team and the other with the heat who weren't in their best days. He then lost to a warriors team who was better than his own and there is only so much one player can do. I'll address the elephant in the room and say that he choked so badly in the 2011 finals it is almost unforgivable, but I think it's forgivable after he proved that he can be good in the finals because the stretch of finals from 2016-2019 showcases lebron's best even with a bad team. Averaging a triple double in the 2017 finals is nothing to scoff at plus he also defeated the greatest team of all time so cut him some slack for 2011
Lebron James yes he didnt do good. But you didn't go over his other stats. Luka Doncic has to play for 25 year and average 25 points and not get injured to pass lebron in scoring.
If it was that much watered down in the 90s, it was for everyone. Saying he dominated weak teams is a complete disrespect to the Knicks, the Pacers, The Lakers, the Suns, The Blazers, The Sonics, The Magic and the Jazz. Those were ALL amazing teams and it was watered down for all of them too. And he dominated them all. The reason they are considered weak today is because of the Bulls because they were amazing teams.
watered down era arg for Jordan is kind of dumb. the main reason being while his competition was not the same it was still good. Shaq, Karl Malone, Patrick, Stockton and plenty of other Hof level players. yes the league did lose greats but it was still decent and of that time Michael Jordan got mvps over people like those. Hof players. he did not get "lucky" even though he was better off by no means was it watered down. it was still great and Jordan dominated the 90s which is why he is the best. how about that time he won mvp in the 1987 to 88 which was when magic and bird were doing amazing. that same season he was dpoty, got his second scoring title and was an all star. he was doing exceptionally well in the 80s and that was not his prime. he came second in mvp voting in 88 to 89. in 90 to 91 he won mvp over David Robinson, magic Johnson(Non prime) and Charles Barkley. He also carried a dogcrap bulls to to the playoffs onwards from 1985 until Scottie Pippen came and then plenty more where by that time the bulls would not be bad by itself (without Jordan). but they still needed Jordan. here is the roster for the 93 to 94 season where the bulls did not have Jordan. Armstrong, BJ Blount, Corie Cartwright, Bill English, Jo Jo Grant Horace Johnson, Dave Kerr, Steve Kukoc, Toni Longley, Luc Myers, Pete Paxson, John Perdue, Will Pippen, Scottie Wennington, Bill Williams, Scott .....It was a good team but without Michael they did not make it past the conference semifinals in 7 against the knicks. Then in the 96 season which was the bulls best season and one of the most dominant teams their competition was the Seattle supersonics which had: Gary Payton and Shawn kemp leading the team. two top players Askew Vincent Brickowski, Frank Ford, Sherell Hawkins, Hersey Johnson, Ervin McMillan, Nate Perkins, Sam Scheffler, Steve Schrempf, Detlef Snow, Eric Wingate, David were the rest of the roster, now this finals went to six in the end Jordan and the bulls prevailing. now imagine Jordan was not there, the outcome would have been different. Scottie Pippen and Dennis (while being the best rebounder), that was it. so them two against Gary Peyton and Shawn kemp would not be favorable. however Jordan led the team in points two times in that finals while Dennis was an x factor leading that finals in rebounds. however again that shows that Dennis is the greatest rebounder while Michael Jordan leads in point averages as well that finals. Jordan is goated and I'm doing this for fun so don't really mind me. just speaking some of my mind and personally think that there could be a better argument ig but nice vid.
The competition is good but his only big L is vs mavs. He carried a trash team on his early career but got beaten by stronger team. The warriors in 2015 is good competition but his teamates got injured and got no help and the 2017-2018 warriors is just unfair bruh. Just my perspective how crazy to do it in era like this where the skills and talents cant be compared on older era
I get it’s your opinion but at least during his mvp seasons, Bird was BY FAR the best player in the league. His lethal scoring, clutchness, and will for the game was unmatched. Magic had Kareem, and was a bit shakey at times. He would mess up in big moments, especially from 82-86. Bird was the man who wanted to take the final shot, and most of the time, it was going in
Magic was a rookie when he won his first title so that does not hurt Kareem and lebron being 4-6 lacks context.2015 kyrie and love got injured and 2017-2018 the warriors had kd and stacked the deck. Even draymond said they weren't going to beat the Cavs without kd
Pippen had his best and most efficient years under Jordan, he never averaged above 50% FG in a season without Jordan, only made 1 All-Star team without Jordan, was mediocre at best during his first few seasons (including his rookie year where he came off the bench averaging 8 ppg), played very inconsistently during the Bulls' 2nd 3 peat, and regularly disappeared against the Bad Boy Pistons. Magic had top 5 player of all time Kareem and James Worthy who was better than Pippen. Kareem had two of the top 5 PGs, Magic and Oscar. Wilt had Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Hal Greer, and Gail Goodrich. Bill Russell had multiple HOFers on his stacked teams. Bird had McHale who was better than Ppppen in his prime and Robert Parish. Kobe had prime Shaq, who had a top 3 prime ever and Pau Gasol. Shaq had Kobe and Wade. LeBron had Wade, Bosh, Kyrie, Kevin Love, and a prime AD. Duncan had Parker, Ginobli, and young but still solid Kawhi Leonard, Curry and Durant played with multiple stars. In reality, Jordan had less help than pretty much any consensus top 12 player outside of maybe Hakeem Olajuwon.
@@HugoSoup57 so much false narratives, but I wont get into details as time is money. Jordan never ever won a championship without pip. Pip without Jordan had more success in terms of basketball than MJ without Pip, facts!
this is unironically one of the reasons why lebron IS the goat. on of if not THE biggest reason why he isn’t the goat is because of his losing finals record. that’s impressive. and even more than that his only finals that we really look at as bad is the one where he went against a literal greek god of a player. dirk literally SWEPT the defending champion lakers and steamrolled through everyone. that’s the one series lebron did bad in. the series that a dude literally got a gods blessing to win. lebron made it 10 times. that’s impressive.
Saying Michaels era was watered down is a joke. Even if there were new teams still developing he still had to beat the best of the best the NBA had to offer to win the championship. Karl Malone and John Stockton were THE BEST PICK AND ROLL DUO IN NBA HISTORY and they still couldn't beat Michael. You didn't expose Michael, you made a bunch of jokes, it would've fit the mood better with clown music in the background

Wilt played as the coach said When the coach said he must play assist, he's assist goes up Hes a versatile player He doesnt want to be fouled out as he is not only an offensive machine. He is very important in defense
He's got a point about Jordan the weak teams were very weak but I mean the Spurs the rockets the nicks the Cavs there were a lot of good teams back then.
Kobe was not getting by Shaq and was robbed kobe average 29.4 ppg 7.6 rebound 6.1 assist shap average 30.1 ppg 15.4rebound 2.1 assist as you see Kobe Holds his own and Kobe was robbed out of 3 mvps 2003 2006 2007 he 100% deserve 2008 and arguably 2013 thank you very much Kobe is the goat
What all of this tells you is that there’s eras among other variables and most importantly - basketball is a team sport, you might be the star and a center piece, however you’re nothing without your team.
Jordan would dominate in today’s NBA too. He is the greatest player in NBA history. There is no debate, or at least there shouldn’t be. He is the greatest offensive player to ever play, and to be honest one of the greatest defensive players as well. He has won many awards for defense, not just offense. So, I’ll say once again. There is no debate. It doesn’t mean that Lebron, Kobe, and others mentioned aren’t amazing players, because they absolutely are, but Jordan is just on another level.

The Celtics won 6 fewer games, but it's still just as impressive considering that DJ and Parish had regressed quite a bit at that point.

You sure you want to stand by "watered down" era for Jordan? 😁
2:43 How tf does that affect the top tier teams? I seriously hate this false narrative that adding teams somehow makes championships weaker. If 5 High School teams were added to the NBA tomorrow, it won't make winning a championship any easier. The top 8 teams from each conference still make the playoffs, the bottom feeding teams will still be bottom feeding, it doesn't make the path to the finals any easier like you claim. You clearly don't know the basics of how the NBA playoffs work.
3:36 MJ still whooped him before his retirement. If he didn't retire, Jordan would still beat the Lakers. Casuals try to push this silly narrative that Magic was out of his prime or something. No.. 91' was one of his better seasons, he literally just won MVP the season prior. In 91' he was All NBA 1st Team, and came 2nd in MVP right behind MJ.
3:40 Bird was already losing to the Pistons by the late 80s.
3:45 Once Jordan got a 1 single developed allstar teammate. The Pistons weren't a threat.
People need to understand that the only reason these teams were beating Jordan in the 80s is cause Jordan was on a garbage lottery team with teammates who couldn't even dream of making an allstar team for their entire career. Give Jordan even a decent team and he beats Birds Celtics, Magics Lakers, and Isiah Pistons even if all 3 teams joined together into ONE SUPERTEAM. We literally have evidence of this when Jordan, Patrick Ewing, Chris Mullen, Alvin Robertson, etc whooped an NBA Allstar team that was a combination of the Celtics, Pistons, and Lakers *8-0*
3:48 Len Bias wouldn't have been on Jordan's level. He had good talent but not the work ethic or mindset. While Jordan was improving year by year through rigorous training and playing. Len was out partying and doing drugs.
4:08 It's tough to become an all time greats when Jordan is the one winning everything.

saying 90s are watered down but then you got teams today tanking to get better draft picks.
i was not even alive during the 90s but seeing the footage made it seem more difficult to score during that time given how slow the pace is and how much more physical they are compared to other decades of nba basketball.
today's nba is much more favored to cater the offense while it was the opposite during the 90s and early 2000s. heck, nba even made carrying and travelling somehow legal to make today's players look good. lol
Facts.
But still its the same dude mj had 2 all time greats by his side
And the talent level between 90s and today are not even close
@@lakpasherpa2994 you talking about pippen and rodman? yes they are great but those players cant carry teams to a chaimpionship as the main guy. they are talented but not on the offensive end. most of the time MJ was the one carrying the offense for the bulls whether off the ball or on the ball while still playing high level defense.
talent today is severly overrated. just because they are better 3pt shooters doesnt mean they are way better players than before. rules cater to the offense now. players allowed to take more than 3 steps, allowed to carry the ball and getting and 1s through minor bumps that the offensive player initiated in the first place.
bringing back physicality and you see most of the stars today get exposed how much they struggle. whenever playoffs are around, you see a dipped in their production because the nba allow more some of the physicality used back in the day. suddenly some stars are not as good as you think they are.
would be so interesting watching today's players get defended by the bad boy pistons or riley's knicks.
It's facts that the 90s were watered down. How is slow pace and physicality related to talent levels? Slower pace and physicality, are conscious decisions by the league at that time, and independent of talent. Similarly, the league decided that more offense centered games is the norm. Nothing to do with talent levels
@@JayZone23No? Introducing physicality will reduce everyones production. When everyone shines a little dimmer, talent still shines just as bright relative to everyone else

I don’t see Brian Scalabrine getting exposed, I guess he’s the GOAT.
Nah get out
When addressing claims about a "weak" era, you can assert that Michael Jordan’s success with only one primary All-Star, Scottie Pippen, highlights his exceptional individual talent and ability to lead his team to greatness under competitive conditions. This perspective underscores that Jordan's achievements are significant and reflective of his extraordinary skill and impact, regardless of the era's perceived strength.
Michael Jordan’s combination of fundamentally sound skills and extraordinary athleticism, coupled with his high basketball IQ, made him a uniquely complete player. His fundamental skills allowed him to excel in various aspects of the game, while his athleticism provided him with the edge to outperform defenders. His basketball IQ enabled him to make smart decisions and maximize his impact on both ends of the floor. Together, these qualities made Jordan not just a great player, but arguably the greatest of all time. Respect the Goat!!

@@TyroneNBAFanThis is what people leave out of Michael Jordan’s GOAT discussion “oh he never lost in the finals” but he has lost in the earlier rounds. LeBron has lost one single time in the first round his whole career which is insane, the times he’s did lose in the finals were arguably against some of the greatest teams of all time. Let’s not forget Michael was surrounded by great players but when LeBron took down the unstoppable Warriors down 3-1, how many HOF’ers did he have on his team? Kyrie Irving, the rest all role players. Yet they took down arguably the greatest team of all time, which the other team in the argument for GOAT is Jordan’s Bulls.

BTW, Michael Jordan played with ONE All-Star - Scotty Pippen.
Lebron needs help dude how can he farm stats without help
Rodman was an all star lol
Harper Grant rodman pippen
Personally the 2011 finals is the only finals series I hold against him because the other times he lost the GOAT power forward twice with once having a horrendous Cavs team and the other with the heat who weren't in their best days. He then lost to a warriors team who was better than his own and there is only so much one player can do. I'll address the elephant in the room and say that he choked so badly in the 2011 finals it is almost unforgivable, but I think it's forgivable after he proved that he can be good in the finals because the stretch of finals from 2016-2019 showcases lebron's best even with a bad team. Averaging a triple double in the 2017 finals is nothing to scoff at plus he also defeated the greatest team of all time so cut him some slack for 2011
facts
Lebron James yes he didnt do good. But you didn't go over his other stats. Luka Doncic has to play for 25 year and average 25 points and not get injured to pass lebron in scoring.
If it was that much watered down in the 90s, it was for everyone. Saying he dominated weak teams is a complete disrespect to the Knicks, the Pacers, The Lakers, the Suns, The Blazers, The Sonics, The Magic and the Jazz. Those were ALL amazing teams and it was watered down for all of them too. And he dominated them all. The reason they are considered weak today is because of the Bulls because they were amazing teams.

watered down era arg for Jordan is kind of dumb. the main reason being while his competition was not the same it was still good. Shaq, Karl Malone, Patrick, Stockton and plenty of other Hof level players. yes the league did lose greats but it was still decent and of that time Michael Jordan got mvps over people like those. Hof players. he did not get "lucky" even though he was better off by no means was it watered down. it was still great and Jordan dominated the 90s which is why he is the best. how about that time he won mvp in the 1987 to 88 which was when magic and bird were doing amazing. that same season he was dpoty, got his second scoring title and was an all star. he was doing exceptionally well in the 80s and that was not his prime. he came second in mvp voting in 88 to 89. in 90 to 91 he won mvp over David Robinson, magic Johnson(Non prime) and Charles Barkley. He also carried a dogcrap bulls to to the playoffs onwards from 1985 until Scottie Pippen came and then plenty more where by that time the bulls would not be bad by itself (without Jordan). but they still needed Jordan. here is the roster for the 93 to 94 season where the bulls did not have Jordan.

.....It was a good team but without Michael they did not make it past the conference semifinals in 7 against the knicks. Then in the 96 season which was the bulls best season and one of the most dominant teams their competition was the Seattle supersonics which had: Gary Payton and Shawn kemp leading the team. two top players
Askew Vincent
Brickowski, Frank
Ford, Sherell
Hawkins, Hersey
Johnson, Ervin
McMillan, Nate
Perkins, Sam
Scheffler, Steve
Schrempf, Detlef
Snow, Eric
Wingate, David were the rest of the roster,
now this finals went to six in the end Jordan and the bulls prevailing. now imagine Jordan was not there, the outcome would have been different. Scottie Pippen and Dennis (while being the best rebounder), that was it. so them two against Gary Peyton and Shawn kemp would not be favorable. however Jordan led the team in points two times in that finals while Dennis was an x factor leading that finals in rebounds. however again that shows that Dennis is the greatest rebounder while Michael Jordan leads in point averages as well that finals. Jordan is goated and I'm doing this for fun so don't really mind me. just speaking some of my mind and personally think that there could be a better argument ig but nice vid.

I get it’s your opinion but at least during his mvp seasons, Bird was BY FAR the best player in the league. His lethal scoring, clutchness, and will for the game was unmatched.

Magic was a rookie when he won his first title so that does not hurt Kareem and lebron being 4-6 lacks context.2015 kyrie and love got injured and 2017-2018 the warriors had kd and stacked the deck. Even draymond said they weren't going to beat the Cavs without kd

Jordan was selfish he not only got lucky, he also had an all time great by his side who was not selfish at all
Pippen had his best and most efficient years under Jordan, he never averaged above 50% FG in a season without Jordan, only made 1 All-Star team without Jordan, was mediocre at best during his first few seasons (including his rookie year where he came off the bench averaging 8 ppg), played very inconsistently during the Bulls' 2nd 3 peat, and regularly disappeared against the Bad Boy Pistons. Magic had top 5 player of all time Kareem and James Worthy who was better than Pippen. Kareem had two of the top 5 PGs, Magic and Oscar. Wilt had Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Hal Greer, and Gail Goodrich. Bill Russell had multiple HOFers on his stacked teams. Bird had McHale who was better than Ppppen in his prime and Robert Parish. Kobe had prime Shaq, who had a top 3 prime ever and Pau Gasol. Shaq had Kobe and Wade. LeBron had Wade, Bosh, Kyrie, Kevin Love, and a prime AD. Duncan had Parker, Ginobli, and young but still solid Kawhi Leonard, Curry and Durant played with multiple stars. In reality, Jordan had less help than pretty much any consensus top 12 player outside of maybe Hakeem Olajuwon.

@WhiteGirlJessica Even if they are weak now, that is now, not then. Men played basketball in the 90s. Boys like LeBron play now
@@BenjaminJ707 Literally all they do is foul in the 90's. Is that your so called "defense"?
Unpopular opinion:i think steph could be in the GOAT debate, he got 4 championship trophies, is the best shooter in the league plus changing how the game is played is phenomenal, 1st unanimous mvp. He may not be the GOAT in others eyes, but he needs to be considered in the GOAT debate
Wilt played as the coach said
When the coach said he must play assist, he's assist goes up
Hes a versatile player
He doesnt want to be fouled out as he is not only an offensive machine. He is very important in defense
"it's gonna sound crazy"
Nah just sounds stupid
0:49 why tf is tmac there

😂@@powerbom6
Where is Steph Curry
Because he can't expose him
10 finals appearnces with 6 losses is better than 6 finals appearences with 0 losses
no the hell it’s not
He's got a point about Jordan the weak teams were very weak but I mean the Spurs the rockets the nicks the Cavs there were a lot of good teams back then.
Kobe was not getting by Shaq and was robbed kobe average 29.4 ppg 7.6 rebound 6.1 assist shap average 30.1 ppg 15.4rebound 2.1 assist as you see Kobe Holds his own and Kobe was robbed out of 3 mvps 2003 2006 2007 he 100% deserve 2008 and arguably 2013 thank you very much Kobe is the goat
@@godwinmarandu8474 Not the goat but he was robbed 😔
@@_M1-9 it's your opinion kobe's my goal that doesn't mean it's your goat I understand you coming from
Curry
He sucks at defense.
@@victorseda8847 top 12 or 11
Tldr: Tim Duncan is the GOAT
My boy Kawhi will never be caught lacking like this
What all of this tells you is that there’s eras among other variables and most importantly - basketball is a team sport, you might be the star and a center piece, however you’re nothing without your team.
Jordan would dominate in today’s NBA too. He is the greatest player in NBA history. There is no debate, or at least there shouldn’t be. He is the greatest offensive player to ever play, and to be honest one of the greatest defensive players as well. He has won many awards for defense, not just offense. So, I’ll say once again. There is no debate. It doesn’t mean that Lebron, Kobe, and others mentioned aren’t amazing players, because they absolutely are, but Jordan is just on another level.
Greatest offensive player is cap
For every like this comment gets, I’ll do one push-up
See how he didnt bring up the player with the highest win percentage all time. MY GOAT! YOUR GOAT! DRAYMOND GREEN!!!!!
THE DONKEY
This looks like a great UA-cam recommendation pull.
I don’t see thanasis getting exposed, he’s the real goat
