Trebor Hill you're not suppose to compare anything you're supposed to enjoy watching the sport when we compare everyone opinions become irrelevant and bias
Zhang Hui , that's like saying Chess is not about Checkmate..... Basketball Game objective, your team points>their team points.....mate! Oh, & fyi - all those LBJ losses in the finals is because THEY DIDN'T SCORE ENOUGH POINTS! YIKES
Zhang Hui Michael right Jordan has 9 all first team defensive Awards, he led the league in steals 3x times and he won Defensive Player of the Year award if I'm not mistaken LeBron James is number 70th and defense right now, You have to be Elite at both ends to be considered the greatest
It is when the game is on the line and your team needs a basket or made free throws. That's why MJ is the best player and is considered the best player ever.
lol big hater aleart first of jorden is his role model ofc he would want to wear number 23 to meet jorden level man you hater sure are dense in the brain..... understanding level is really low
Kenneth Erickson I never said the man was without flaws. It is a shame that he jumped teams like he has and it has hurt his legacy. I believe he would have been better off staying with the Cavs the whole time and winning 1 or possibly 2 championships, rather than going the route he has.
LeBron, lemme tell you something man, you talking about having a plan to influence basketball player to pass more, you taught me that like 10 years ago! I saw a documentary about how Jordan, Bryant, Iverson making themselves great at the game, but you made the whole team GREAT! Damn, you should know how your impact was on kids like me in my early games of basketball. Here I am now being a basketball coach because of you!
Ege Huncho This is top 10 confirmed! 1- Bill Russell 2- Michael Jordan 3- Magic Johnson 4-Larry Bird 5- Kareem Abdul Jabbar tied 6- Wilt chamberlain or Dr J 7- Kobe Bryant 8- *LEBRON JAMES* 9- Tim Duncan 10- Shaq
MJ still the greatest basketball player of all time. LeBron the greatest of all time. Dudes humble, and selfless off the court. Always looks to help people in need, or help shape his teammates into better people. Say what you want ball wise, but there will never be another like this man. An inspiration through and through.
A quite honest Lebron, from the bottom of his heart. Those who underate him will undrestant what he means to the game once his gone. I watched MJ too since 1988, just enjoy it guys, it wont last forever. LEBRON THE KING-THE CHOOSEN ONE
dionysis e You make a great point! I too watched MJ, I'm young enough (I don't like calling myself old) to have seen the end of Dr. J's career, Magic, Bird, and many more. It's not so much that LeBron isn't as good...its more so the league he's in isn't as physically enforced as Mikes. And I want that for him to elevate his game to where he develops that lacking killer instinct.
Just Respect outta his Idol. Mike's forever the greatest winner of all time had a hell of a coach and the best teammate anyone could ever ask for. Lebron the greatest overall player with size and skill of all time
God Knew There Needs to One more Great Player Like MJ that when LBJ Came into Action When MJ Retired In 2003 and LBJ started in 2003 and once LBJ Retires there will be new LBJ lets see
There is no human being on planet earth that is ready to be the next MJ, or LeBron. It might be 5-10 years. Not a single player in the NBA right now is on the level of LeBron and ever will be. We just have to wait for the next prodigy to emerge.
Top 10 biggest basketball figures 1. Bill Russel the Morgan Freeman god figure of "Basket" & "Ball" 2. Michael Jordan the most dominant modern era player ever. 3. Wilt Chamberlain the most dominant player from an old era of basketball. 4. Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Hard to say if he should be ahead of Wilt. He a Legend. 5. LeBron James the most all around player of All-Time. His career was like an explosive Magic Johnson. Career wasn't perfect but you gotta give props, he played in an era of really competitive basketball, early 2000's to present. The rest of the list should go... 6. Magic Johnson 7. Larry Bird 8. Kobe Bryant 9. Timmy D. 10. Shaq.
You guys are all funny. I was born in '79. I saw Michael's greatness when I was a kid, saw Kobe and LeBron obviously. Here's my take and I'm gonna make it simple. There is no GOAT period. But there are GOHG(Greatest Of His Generation) players. Wilt, Kareem,MJ,Kobe,Lebron... because it's just absurd to compare players that played in different eras, rules, dynamics of the game. We must accept that there are players that are great in their own rights and brand or style of play. Maybe we can say MJ is the most clutch,Shaq the most dominant, Lebron the most all around player, so on on so forth...Just for the record, my top 5 so far right now would be MJ, Magic, Kobe, Duncan and LBJ(based on players that I have seen play). But I can't say who's the best of them all it's just not fair and not right to compare players who did'nt even have the chance to play each other, like MJ and LBJ, Kobe and Magic, Shaq and Wilt. Hope you get my point and let's just enjoy this upcoming Finals!
Out of his own mouth he said Michael Jordan is the greatest player of all time but then turn around and said he wasn't trying to be like Mike cuz he thought that was impossible but then he turns around and he contradicts that and says he was trying to be like Mike look. Y'all quit putting that boy under all his pressure. Okay he got the scoring title. He is not surpassed Michael Jordan and anything but that because he's been there so long. But LeBron has missed a lot of games. We know for a fact Mike wouldn't missing games, not even when he was sick. Not even when he had the fraction big toe. Not even being beat. The death on the court might still showed up every game whether he was sick, hurt or whatever. Some kind of way throughout the game but this man being injured or sick. He still did better than everybody on the floor. He still outran people dunked on PB played as if nothing was wrong with him but we all know some was wrong with him. His doctors are telling you something wrong with him and we advised him not to go out there but Mike's still went out there. LeBron James is a good basketball player and astounding basketball player. A relentless basketball player LeBron James is. I don't think I can put no more titles on that for him but he is not. I repeat he is not not better than Michael Jordan. Imagine that Mike wouldn't have been missing games. Imagine if they wouldn't have never killed Michael Jordan's father because we all know anybody would sense. We all know the only reason why that man left when he retired. The first time is cuz they killed his father. Any fool could see that it has nothing to do with his gambling hell he been doing gambling. It has nothing to do with him wanting more money. The man lost his father, his best friend. I don't know if people know what that means, but I'm going to tell you the burden of losing your father who is actually your best friend. I'm surprised he didn't leave as soon as that happened because we all know that they killed Michael Jordan father. They murdered him because the mob wanted Mike to lose that game. They wanted him to lose and not win the championship and Mike wasn't going for it. Basically they wanted Mike to take a dive and Mike wasn't going. But I'm just saying if these things wouldn't happen then Michael Jordan's life he wouldn't have never retired. He'd have those eight championships if they wouldn't have got rid of Phil Jackson. Mike would have played at least four more years in Chicago and I guarantee out of those other four years at either played after the 3 Peat Yes, I'm going forwards to say that they would have beat the Houston rockets they would have. It probably wouldn't have been easy. But then again we're talking about Michael Jordan and the Chicago bulls. They would have beaten Houston
He said it right. He felt like mike was a god that's how people think of him as a basketball god. No matter what Lebron does people won't let themselves believe that he's surpassed him smh.
Monte Augustine no, that's not what is happening..... he just has not yet passed Jordan..... even if he passes him statistically in a specific area..... Karl Malone scored more career points than Jordan...... because he played a lot longer of course...... but my point is that even if you pass Jordan in a particular area, that doesn't mean that you have passed Jordan...... I'm not saying that LeBron can never pass Jordan....... maybe he will..... but he would need to be in a streak of several consecutive finals in which he wins all the ones he is in and gets the Finaks MVP in each of them, and then he will truly be right up there with Jordan...... but as it stands...... he is by far the greatest player of our era..... but Jordan is still greater........'
Andrew Goering this is false. Individually as a player, LeBron James is a better basketball player in every single aspect of basketball except maybe scoring. This is an absolute fact. Championships is a team accomplishment, I want to give Mike props for 6-0 but he kept getting destroyed in the first round before he acquired pippen in his 3rd year who is one of the 50 greatest players ever. LeBron on the other hand played with garbage players for the first 7 years of his career. What LeBron did last year, coming back from 3-1 to defeat the greatest regular season team ever was so much harder than anything jordan ever accomplished in his entire career. Jordan is 6-0 yeah but he never faced a team as good as the modern day warriors in the finals so, meh.
he got destroyed by bird as a rookie and lebron had the weakest conference i dont think any rational person would hold that against him only insecure lebron fans
LegendInThaMakin you guys need to stop downing Jordan's victories. He beat who he beat, the same way bron beat who he beat. You can't sit up here and say "Jordan didn't beat great teams" when he beat the show time lakers, swept the bad boy pistons along the way, and beat one of the greatest duos of all time in Stockton and Malone. That did happen. No one is lessening what Bron did so stop doing it to Jordan. Remember Bron beat an injured GSW igodala (back) Steph (knee) Bogut (out) Draymond suspended for game five. But people still call it the greatest team of all time. And I agree because he still had to best that team, so stop trying to take things away from other players to bolster another, it's just plain disrespectful.
John anderson see that? See how people make excuses for Jordan's failures and criticize bron for everything he ever does wrong? Doesn't that further prove my point? Jordan didn't start wining anything until he had the help of pippen and bird and magic got old.
No matter what this bro is a joy to watch!! we don't need to compare him to ANYONE!!!!! He will be missed when he retires just like all the greats, so enjoy him while he is still playing......
M.J., Pelé, Ali, those guys are above all in their respective sports category. Those are the GOATS. PS - anyway, LeBron is a legend, there's no discussion about that too, ok?
I really admire how humble he is. Every time I hear him talk about a record, he is always so grateful. He sets a great example to all the league. Great man.
that's why Jordan the goat, when his double digit scoring streak ended he said he didn't care. when lebron gets a stat achievement he cares bout it and the game isn't bout stats.
There’s this idea Jordan only impacted the game from scoring. When he played PG he was averaging 30.4-10.7A-9.2R-2.4St in 24 games, including 12 triple doubles. He would simply have been the greatest PG of all time if he’d stayed there. He was All Defensive every year from 1988 right to 1998. Lebron hasn’t made All Defensive since 2014. Jordan just needed one All Star to win 6/6. Magic had two HoFers, Bird had four, Isiah always had 2-3 HoFers. Lebron had to join Wade, Bosh & Allen to win his rings. Jordan is seriously one of a kind. No match, no comparison.
I’m not a basketball fan, but from what I watched on youtube for both players MJ and LeBron, I don’t see big differences between them, in fact I like LeBron playing more.
The post-game conference alone shows LBJ has an All Time great kinda stigma attached and aura about him that will intimidate Durant. No one else on the Warriors is intimidated besides Curry and Durant. Just LeBron's presence will take them out of character, that's 1 thing you can count on this match up, they both will tense up and become tentative in adverse situations, long as LBJ has the same depth production as those 2 he comes out the winner 10/10, hes far better leader than both.
me too.. I fell he in love in the game because of MJ and the Bulls. As LeBron said, he was like a god to us young kids playing basketball. You could probably never convince me that somebody is better than MJ even if they really were... but at the same time you cannot compare two so different players from different eras. LeBron is the best player of his generation and he is just awesome to watch...just enjoy it (:
No matter how much hate lebron will get in his career, i will always be grateful for what he's done for the game of basketball and for the NBA as a whole.
When i think of MJ, i think of all those huge Nike marketing billboards. As Lebron said it, he was like a God. Someone larger than life. Now all of you guys who are saying Lebron is the goat here & there. Are you guys fkn serious
Lebron is not the goat yet. As Charles Barkley said: "If he wins his 4th ring this year, he might not have as many rings as Kobe but i would still put him up there with him." Lebron still needs to surpass Kobe, then we'll start talking.
I still cannot understand how can you hate on such an intelligent player and not only a player but a human being. He's probably the best role model in the world of basketball. I'm glad he's made it to such a big podium so that he can influence so many young people. Heavy is the crown but he keep caring it with confidence and caution.
He beat Jordan by playing 53 more playoffs than him .. Jordan only played 12 full seasons and total. Of 15 seasons.. gtfoh, LeBron is great There is noway like Jordan
three-time NBA Finals MVP and champion (2012, 2013, 2016)…NBA postseason all-time leaders in triple-doubles with 22 2nd all-time) 9 finals triple doubles ,Only player in NBA history to average a triple double in the NBA Finals. 🙌🙌💪✊King
Who cares who is best, Just be grateful that both black men are doing extremely well considering the black man's history and the struggles black men have faced then and now.
Enigma I see so many people say this lately, and guess what, it's not just about rings because if it was, clearly Bill Russell would be widely considered the GOAT...but he's not!!! So there is more to it than that.
Because when the factor of MJ vs Lbj comes in to mind it is ABOUT THEM and not other players. Its like you are comparing who is a better shooter Curry or Ray Allen but then the topic will change to Kerr is better. I mean what? Stay on topic.
Raymond Bautista What is wrong with your logic? He is staying on topic LOL For example, when you're discussing who is the best shooter of all time, Curry or Ray Allen, and the main argument in favor of Curry is his higher 3-point shooting percentage (in the case btw Lebron and Jordan being the number of rings), it seems reasonable to bring up Kerr as a counter-example to this whole debate. Using the "3-point %" criterion as the point of issue, one can make the argument that since Kerr has the highest 3-point shooting percentage of all time at 45.4%, the best shooter would be Kerr, not Curry or Allen.
Reguardless. 7 times to the fucking finals. Straight. You know how hard that is with new raw ass talent every season after another? He gonna end up being great in the end but it'll be way better of a history to watch once he's gone.
Lebron will never be Jordan and I realize many of you were too young to see the dominance of Jordan so here's some proof.... 10 scoring titles (nearly straight), DPOY in an era ran by centers, 6 championships and FMVP's including 2 3-peats, the first 3-peat which they had grandpa Cartwright at center. Michael Jordan has 6 of the top 10 playoff series scoring AVERAGES of all time. Kobe doesn't have 1. Lebron doesn't have 1. Not even Wilt has one. In his prime, Jordan was ridiculous and it's a shame that he retired midway through. Jordan has most of the important winning records - highest winshares in playoff/reg season history, highest regular season PER, highest playoff PER, highest scoring average regular season, highest post season. His prime finals performances were utterly ridiculous and had legendary moments almost every finals - 1991 puts up 31 and 11.4 on the Lakers with 13 FG straight not missing and "the move", 1992 against the Blazers hits and sets finals record 6 3's in a half and points in a half, 1993 sets finals record 41 PPG.... all on blazing efficiency. The pat-on-the-butt consecutive steal and game winner on the jazz? Another game winner and so on, all in the finals Playoff records Jordan - 47 Russell - 15 Lebron - 7 Kareem - 5 Kobe - 5
Dude. Russell had TWELVE teams in the league. Jordan had over double to compete against! Not to mention Russell had multiple hall of famers each championship. Russell's not even top 3! Even Russell admitted Wilt was better than him.
bledredwine and your showing this to say what? Do you not see some of the comments in here say it's not about the comparison? Still one of those who feel the need to throw shade huh.NEWS FLASH NO ONE GIVES A DAMN ABOUT JORDAN EXCEPT YOU AND THR STUPID T.V.ANALYST,KING JAMES THE G.O.A.T.!!!!
i was born in 80's, i watched MJ in the 90's, he was the god not only in the basketball world but in the sports.. i've seen KB's in his greatness and idolizing him even up to now.. now we have seen Lebron in his prime.. he's the greatest player in this generation, probably when he was in the miami HEAT team.. but if you want me to pick in all against team in all era of all time? no one could beat CHICAGO BULLS in Michael Jordan's ERA..
Good luck with that, you'll need it. watching LBJ you know he has a presence that makes KD tense up and choke when it matters most. KD not a real baller just like PG. will never win a ring
Alex D. Yo fuckin dumbass, Bron Bron has only been to seven straight cause the east is so goddamn weak. No competition. I think lebron would've been better off in a competitive east so that he wouldn't make the finals every year as a weak assed team that loses more than they win
Y'all dumbfucks who keep saying hurr durr if he was in the super packed and superior and full of beast teams west hurr durr... but wouldn't he be on a beast west team too? It's already proven that you can take shit teams, put lebron on them, get to the finals. In the so full of beast teams west, wouldn't he be on one too? Anyways, getting back to my comment, and your response. So, your argument is that perfect finals records are a relevant point only when you decide if it's easy or not to get there. So you're basically saying a first round exit in the west is more of an accomplishment than thhis east dude going to 6 finals and winning half of them. That's a bright mind of yours, I'd like to hear more of how it works LMAO Next time, if you're trying to make it sound like you have a point at least make sure the logic behind your so call arguments works.
Bron is so far beyond any player in his era and even though he threw shade at Jordan....He KNOWS BETTER than to say he is better than Jordan on national tv.
Mike played with another top 50 all timer in Scottie Pippen if LeBron gets these "bums" in the finals you have to include him in the discussion. Yes LeBron did play with Dwyane Wade but he is NOT a top 50 all timer like Scottie was.
I ain't a fan of the Cavs but you gotta respect LeBron and everything he has accomplished in his career. When his career comes to an end, he Will definitely one of the greats.
I'll always be a Michael Jordan fan but this interview I think is one of his best being humble and giving mike honor
This commend didn’t aged well.
@@Gounesh why he can be as cocky as he wants he’s played the most minutes and most points in nba history
They're both great so please just stop comparing them.
Why yo profile pic john wall but you're name Kelly oubre jr
tray baldwin John's my daddy
Kelly Oubre Jr. you're supposed to compare great players ,idiot. Same thing with rappers, actors, etc. Conversation is good
Trebor Hill you're not suppose to compare anything you're supposed to enjoy watching the sport when we compare everyone opinions become irrelevant and bias
So you prefer comparing great players to a bad one? Like MJ vs Sacre?
The best interview he has ever held, every thing he said I respect 💯%...
What a touching speech! It's OK to make extra pass, totally agree, this game is not only about scoring.
Zhang Hui , that's like saying Chess is not about Checkmate..... Basketball Game objective, your team points>their team points.....mate!
Oh, & fyi - all those LBJ losses in the finals is because THEY DIDN'T SCORE ENOUGH POINTS! YIKES
Zhang Hui Michael right Jordan has 9 all first team defensive Awards, he led the league in steals 3x times and he won Defensive Player of the Year award if I'm not mistaken LeBron James is number 70th and defense right now, You have to be Elite at both ends to be considered the greatest
Sounds llike Magic.
It is when the game is on the line and your team needs a basket or made free throws. That's why MJ is the best player and is considered the best player ever.
Tristan's face when LeBron said he wasn't bald like Michael was hilarious 😂
Very well said Bron. This future Hall of Famer always takes every interview seriously, great guy. #GoCavs
Ronie Lebron James is a classy dude.
lol big hater aleart first of jorden is his role model ofc he would want to wear number 23 to meet jorden level man you hater sure are dense in the brain..... understanding level is really low
@Kenneth Erickson never said lebron was a role model i said jorden was LeBrons role model
Kenneth Erickson I never said the man was without flaws. It is a shame that he jumped teams like he has and it has hurt his legacy.
I believe he would have been better off staying with the Cavs the whole time and winning 1 or possibly 2 championships, rather than going the route he has.
Kenneth Erickson Seriously! The G.O.A.T. is off limits until someone better can dethrone him. Hasn’t happened
LeBron, lemme tell you something man, you talking about having a plan to influence basketball player to pass more, you taught me that like 10 years ago! I saw a documentary about how Jordan, Bryant, Iverson making themselves great at the game, but you made the whole team GREAT! Damn, you should know how your impact was on kids like me in my early games of basketball. Here I am now being a basketball coach because of you!
I'll say this .. JORDAN And LEBRON think differently as Ballers ..
How can you not respect this man? He's definitely top 3💯
Ege Huncho hell naw!!! more like top 10 at #8
Anthony Young nah he's top 5
Ege Huncho This is top 10 confirmed!
1- Bill Russell
2- Michael Jordan
3- Magic Johnson
4-Larry Bird
5- Kareem Abdul Jabbar
tied 6- Wilt chamberlain or Dr J
7- Kobe Bryant
8- *LEBRON JAMES*
9- Tim Duncan
10- Shaq
Anthony Young that's a horrible list
Ege Huncho How????? what the fuck
MJ still the greatest basketball player of all time. LeBron the greatest of all time. Dudes humble, and selfless off the court. Always looks to help people in need, or help shape his teammates into better people. Say what you want ball wise, but there will never be another like this man. An inspiration through and through.
People can hate LeBron all they want but we are witnessing greatness.
division100 AND THEN YOU WOKE UP !!! FUCK LEBRONS
Who the fuck said lbj was bad?
Definitely. But so you know, I’ve already witnessed the greatest of the greatest. Michael Jordan.
@Aaron9 4-6 bitch lmao
@Aaron9 1-9 in the postseason isn’t greatness
I love listening to every Lebron interview!! This guy always knows what to say, always positive, a true leader!
Tristan Thomas' face when LB says he aint gone bald got me ded
LeBron so humble
Red Demon no, he really isn't...
+Andrew Goering how???? HOW? fse give me a legit reason because you already sound like a hater 😂
not in the game when he's yelling at the refs
+Potatoman that doesn't have nothing to do with humbleness,that's a whole nother thing,hater
+Potatoman man u sound ignorant go to bed dummy 😂
A quite honest Lebron, from the bottom of his heart. Those who underate him will undrestant what he means to the game once his gone. I watched MJ too since 1988, just enjoy it guys, it wont last forever. LEBRON THE KING-THE CHOOSEN ONE
dionysis e undrestant?
Won't miss him, can't wait until he retires.
dionysis e You make a great point! I too watched MJ, I'm young enough (I don't like calling myself old) to have seen the end of Dr. J's career, Magic, Bird, and many more. It's not so much that LeBron isn't as good...its more so the league he's in isn't as physically enforced as Mikes. And I want that for him to elevate his game to where he develops that lacking killer instinct.
Black Intelligence me to bro.lebron try to act humble saying he want to be like mike,bullshit.
he cannot surpass mj at all,,curry surpass 3 point shooter of all times..not this one..
3:44 That mentality is great. We need more of that approach. Dropping the ego and playing as a team player.
He even said MJ is the GOAT. Respect. LeBron is one of the greatest players ever, but even he knows the truth.
@Juan Perez MJ was way better PERIOD...He would beat Lebron one on one 10/10. This era ain't even close
to MJ era.
@zee ee yea ok?......... Mike kept Hall of Famers from getting rings!!!! Hall of Famers took rings from Bron!!!!! 6 of them to be exacted.
Morgan Andred bro basketball is just about one on ones. Shaq would kill anyone whoever played the game one on one but he’s not the goat.
Just Respect outta his Idol. Mike's forever the greatest winner of all time had a hell of a coach and the best teammate anyone could ever ask for. Lebron the greatest overall player with size and skill of all time
He’s an easy #2 but no one will ever be Jordan. He was a God and had all the intangibles that LeBron can’t replicate.
Humble and respectful. What a great sportsman.
LeBron is such a fan boy of Michael Jordan and its amazing:)
LeBron James is honestly the best player in the league hands down Goat #respects 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
afaq ahmad ur right
He is more like the best Player in the Softest ever Eastern conference .. yup u right #Goat-cheese
East aint weak LeBron just make it look easy for him. white ass chocolate don't know basketball
Clorox Maestro if you got to be racist, you dont know basketball.
Utah would make Eastern Final if they were in the East
GOATS!
Jeeper D you dont know the meaning of Greatness so sad :(
so sad you don't know basketball and greatness at its best
Allen Iverson is one of the All Time Greats too
Jeeper D boat
@3:49, one of the greatest advise a great athlete can give to a youth. Truly a great role model and a great human being.
LeBron James is in a class of his own, He is setting his own path.
Yes he is, a class below MJ.
He is not MJ. He is Lebron James The GOAT.
God Knew There Needs to One more Great Player Like MJ that when LBJ Came into Action When MJ Retired In 2003 and LBJ started in 2003 and once LBJ Retires there will be new LBJ lets see
but who??
vikram reddy Giannis
Wiremu Hemera Giannis , Ben Simmons, etc
There is no human being on planet earth that is ready to be the next MJ, or LeBron. It might be 5-10 years. Not a single player in the NBA right now is on the level of LeBron and ever will be. We just have to wait for the next prodigy to emerge.
No one. There are some potential players right now. But no one has convinced me yet.
Top 10 biggest basketball figures
1. Bill Russel the Morgan Freeman god figure of "Basket" & "Ball"
2. Michael Jordan the most dominant modern era player ever.
3. Wilt Chamberlain the most dominant player from an old era of basketball.
4. Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Hard to say if he should be ahead of Wilt. He a Legend.
5. LeBron James the most all around player of All-Time. His career was like an explosive Magic Johnson. Career wasn't perfect but you gotta give props, he played in an era of really competitive basketball, early 2000's to present.
The rest of the list should go...
6. Magic Johnson
7. Larry Bird
8. Kobe Bryant
9. Timmy D.
10. Shaq.
_BOTH GOATS_ *#FAXXXXX*
You guys are all funny. I was born in '79. I saw Michael's greatness when I was a kid, saw Kobe and LeBron obviously. Here's my take and I'm gonna make it simple. There is no GOAT period. But there are GOHG(Greatest Of His Generation) players. Wilt, Kareem,MJ,Kobe,Lebron... because it's just absurd to compare players that played in different eras, rules, dynamics of the game. We must accept that there are players that are great in their own rights and brand or style of play. Maybe we can say MJ is the most clutch,Shaq the most dominant, Lebron the most all around player, so on on so forth...Just for the record, my top 5 so far right now would be MJ, Magic, Kobe, Duncan and LBJ(based on players that I have seen play). But I can't say who's the best of them all it's just not fair and not right to compare players who did'nt even have the chance to play each other, like MJ and LBJ, Kobe and Magic, Shaq and Wilt. Hope you get my point and let's just enjoy this upcoming Finals!

i agree. I say:
1Jordan

I'm surprised he didn't leave as soon as that happened because we all know that they killed Michael Jordan father. They murdered him because the mob wanted Mike to lose that game. They wanted him to lose and not win the championship and Mike wasn't going for it. Basically they wanted Mike to take a dive and Mike wasn't going. But I'm just saying if these things wouldn't happen then Michael Jordan's life he wouldn't have never retired. He'd have those eight championships if they wouldn't have got rid of Phil Jackson. Mike would have played at least four more years in Chicago and I guarantee out of those other four years at either played after the 3 Peat Yes, I'm going forwards to say that they would have beat the Houston rockets they would have. It probably wouldn't have been easy. But then again we're talking about Michael Jordan and the Chicago bulls. They would have beaten Houston
Enjoy both there greatness don’t compare them they both played different times
You can't compare players, from different era's but you can tell who are the goats from that decade
He said it right. He felt like mike was a god that's how people think of him as a basketball god. No matter what Lebron does people won't let themselves believe that he's surpassed him smh.
Monte Augustine no, that's not what is happening..... he just has not yet passed Jordan..... even if he passes him statistically in a specific area..... Karl Malone scored more career points than Jordan...... because he played a lot longer of course...... but my point is that even if you pass Jordan in a particular area, that doesn't mean that you have passed Jordan...... I'm not saying that LeBron can never pass Jordan....... maybe he will..... but he would need to be in a streak of several consecutive finals in which he wins all the ones he is in and gets the Finaks MVP in each of them, and then he will truly be right up there with Jordan...... but as it stands...... he is by far the greatest player of our era..... but Jordan is still greater........'
Andrew Goering this is false.
Individually as a player, LeBron James is a better basketball player in every single aspect of basketball except maybe scoring. This is an absolute fact. Championships is a team accomplishment, I want to give Mike props for 6-0 but he kept getting destroyed in the first round before he acquired pippen in his 3rd year who is one of the 50 greatest players ever. LeBron on the other hand played with garbage players for the first 7 years of his career. What LeBron did last year, coming back from 3-1 to defeat the greatest regular season team ever was so much harder than anything jordan ever accomplished in his entire career.
Jordan is 6-0 yeah but he never faced a team as good as the modern day warriors in the finals so, meh.
he got destroyed by bird as a rookie and lebron had the weakest conference i dont think any rational person would hold that against him only insecure lebron fans
LegendInThaMakin you guys need to stop downing Jordan's victories. He beat who he beat, the same way bron beat who he beat. You can't sit up here and say "Jordan didn't beat great teams" when he beat the show time lakers, swept the bad boy pistons along the way, and beat one of the greatest duos of all time in Stockton and Malone. That did happen. No one is lessening what Bron did so stop doing it to Jordan. Remember Bron beat an injured GSW igodala (back) Steph (knee) Bogut (out) Draymond suspended for game five. But people still call it the greatest team of all time. And I agree because he still had to best that team, so stop trying to take things away from other players to bolster another, it's just plain disrespectful.
John anderson see that? See how people make excuses for Jordan's failures and criticize bron for everything he ever does wrong? Doesn't that further prove my point? Jordan didn't start wining anything until he had the help of pippen and bird and magic got old.
How could you hate this guy. Humble and professional. A real role model.
it depends on how you measure greatness.. they are all greatest in their own right
The finals better be legendary to make up for the boring playoffs. 💍
it was boring
Boring! I don't think they were boring.
Lol.... Boy stop the playoffs haven't been boring
Nothing Has Been Boring Bro
this isn't 2016-2017 playoffs.
No matter what this bro is a joy to watch!! we don't need to compare him to ANYONE!!!!! He will be missed when he retires just like all the greats, so enjoy him while he is still playing......
Jordan is and always will be the GOAT but LeBron is definitely one of the best to ever play the game! Mad respect to him for being a humble dude!
lebron so humble and all Mike ever has to say is "he'll never be as good as me" Well Mike he is so stfu. on and off the court I take LeBron any day
M.J., Pelé, Ali, those guys are above all in their respective sports category. Those are the GOATS. PS - anyway, LeBron is a legend, there's no discussion about that too, ok?
I want to be like lebron
gatorade need new commerical
Brennan Fugate u want to have a fucked up hairline nah just kidding in 2018 he got it fix up
You want to flop?
Gambit nah hit game winners
Brennan Fugate fuck him
I really admire how humble he is. Every time I hear him talk about a record, he is always so grateful. He sets a great example to all the league. Great man.
Labron humble? Dude. Actions speak louder than words.
@@eking5715 How? Give me one example, other than wanting to dominate the game, in not being humble?
@@SinisterMud he called himself the goat. period.
@@matteovaretto9081 that's like 1 time he did that, lol majority of the time he does call MJ the GOAT
@@FreshPrincex4 but it's recent, so i think he still belives that
that's why Jordan the goat, when his double digit scoring streak ended he said he didn't care. when lebron gets a stat achievement he cares bout it and the game isn't bout stats.
DUDE HANDLE PRESSURE BETTER THAN ANYONE.... TEACH ME HOW YOU DO THAT LEBRON... I GOT ANGER ISSUES
There’s this idea Jordan only impacted the game from scoring. When he played PG he was averaging 30.4-10.7A-9.2R-2.4St in 24 games, including 12 triple doubles. He would simply have been the greatest PG of all time if he’d stayed there.
He was All Defensive every year from 1988 right to 1998. Lebron hasn’t made All Defensive since 2014.
Jordan just needed one All Star to win 6/6. Magic had two HoFers, Bird had four, Isiah always had 2-3 HoFers. Lebron had to join Wade, Bosh & Allen to win his rings.
Jordan is seriously one of a kind. No match, no comparison.
fac
big fax
MJ IS STILL THE GOAT 🐐
I’m not a basketball fan, but from what I watched on youtube for both players MJ and LeBron, I don’t see big differences between them, in fact I like LeBron playing more.
Very well said Lebron ....
Jordan
Iverson
Lebron
Goat .......
Even LeBron says MJ is the GOAT
Just what the Warriors do - FIND the thing in each game that makes the TEAM better. Lebron gets it. He is the GOAT IMO.
The post-game conference alone shows LBJ has an All Time great kinda stigma attached and aura about him that will intimidate Durant. No one else on the Warriors is intimidated besides Curry and Durant. Just LeBron's presence will take them out of character, that's 1 thing you can count on this match up, they both will tense up and become tentative in adverse situations, long as LBJ has the same depth production as those 2 he comes out the winner 10/10, hes far better leader than both.
Lmao Durant isn't afraid of anyone. He averaged 30 on 55% on Bron as a 22 yr old. Lebron has never stopped KD and never will.
Lebron ain't no leader lmaooo foh
It will be a long time before we see another Michael Jordan. And an equally long time before we see another LeBron James.
Very humble guy, I like it!
Damn....this dude is way too humble...this is what Greatness sounds like!
I wanted him to play for Lakers ever since he was in Cleveland One of my favorite players
game changer period.
me too.. I fell he in love in the game because of MJ and the Bulls. As LeBron said, he was like a god to us young kids playing basketball. You could probably never convince me that somebody is better than MJ even if they really were...
but at the same time you cannot compare two so different players from different eras. LeBron is the best player of his generation and he is just awesome to watch...just enjoy it (:
This man is the greatest ball player of all time. Hes character alone. Gentleman, A man. They dont make Alphas like this anymore
Truth Speaker He just said it himself that Jordan's the greatest of all time moron 😂
Ur crazy man lebron is definitely king of flop hahaha mj 6 of 6 in finals and he never leave the bulls in his prime to go to much stronger team
Red Cortez Pippen bulls had 50+ wins Pippen and Jordan? As the least 10 or maybe 20 more wine but when Rodman Is there too? Yea... What competition?
Truth Speaker jordans the goat sit your new school soft nba ass down
Did you ignore everything he just said?
Lebron is amazing, him being such a humble guy with his level of success is mind blowing.
Like Lebron said that Michael Jordan is a God mode. No one can surpass Michael Jordan. Greatest Of All Time.
100 like and 1000 view👌💯🔥 Cavs 🔥
I've alwyas wanted to play like you Lebron, you my favorite player rn ❤💯
Humbleness I like that
Jordan A+
Kobe A
Lebron A-
No matter how much hate lebron will get in his career, i will always be grateful for what he's done for the game of basketball and for the NBA as a whole.
When i think of MJ, i think of all those huge Nike marketing billboards. As Lebron said it, he was like a God. Someone larger than life. Now all of you guys who are saying Lebron is the goat here & there. Are you guys fkn serious
Aykut what that means is, even though he's the greatest no one will accept it because mj was the first to be the greatest and he's everybody's idol
Lebron is not the goat yet. As Charles Barkley said: "If he wins his 4th ring this year, he might not have as many rings as Kobe but i would still put him up there with him." Lebron still needs to surpass Kobe, then we'll start talking.
Anyways who cares, just enjoy the finals
I still cannot understand how can you hate on such an intelligent player and not only a player but a human being. He's probably the best role model in the world of basketball. I'm glad he's made it to such a big podium so that he can influence so many young people. Heavy is the crown but he keep caring it with confidence and caution.
they didnt have the help of Isaiah thomas in the game because of his hip but they tried
did you watch the series? they played better when thomas didn't play
yea i did
Thomas is the worst defender in the entire league the Celtics would have been swept if he played game 4.
yea thats true even he said he was so yea
But still Michael Jordan is the best!!!🐐🐐💪💪🙆
He beat Jordan by playing 53 more playoffs than him .. Jordan only played 12 full seasons and total. Of 15 seasons.. gtfoh, LeBron is great There is noway like Jordan
did lebron say he better than jordan? who you talking to cuz
three-time NBA Finals MVP and champion (2012, 2013, 2016)…NBA postseason all-time leaders in triple-doubles with 22 2nd all-time) 9 finals triple doubles ,Only player in NBA history to average a triple double in the NBA Finals. 🙌🙌💪✊King
🐐
Yeezy taught me I should report you for putting that up! Lol
Jordan 🐐
lebron > jordan
Boat
@2:20 lebron admits Michael is the Goat.
Who cares who is best, Just be grateful that both black men are doing extremely well considering the black man's history and the struggles black men have faced then and now.
если с рашки ставь лукас
I'm 22 and I think Jordan better but congrats to Lebron, he's a legend top 5 all time
Its not every year we Experience the GOAT
LeBron the best playera of play-off
Daniel Klisz Fuck no 😂
Daniel Klisz our we watching the same games because so far they have lost 3
Yalonda Owens i see game 3 and i so sad
Ever heard of wilt chamberlain?
i love what lebron said that michael jordan is like a god ..before he explode jordan is the one who is he idolize
If yall comparing mj to lebron of who is the goat from rings then mj isnt the greatest, bill russell is 😂
Enigma
I see so many people say this lately, and guess what, it's not just about rings because if it was, clearly Bill Russell would be widely considered the GOAT...but he's not!!! So there is more to it than that.
Tony Boots Exactly thats why I said it, cause when people compare them they bring up rings/finals most of the time.
Tony Boots which player has the most finals mvp
Because when the factor of MJ vs Lbj comes in to mind it is ABOUT THEM and not other players. Its like you are comparing who is a better shooter Curry or Ray Allen but then the topic will change to Kerr is better. I mean what? Stay on topic.
Raymond Bautista What is wrong with your logic? He is staying on topic LOL For example, when you're discussing who is the best shooter of all time, Curry or Ray Allen, and the main argument in favor of Curry is his higher 3-point shooting percentage (in the case btw Lebron and Jordan being the number of rings), it seems reasonable to bring up Kerr as a counter-example to this whole debate. Using the "3-point %" criterion as the point of issue, one can make the argument that since Kerr has the highest 3-point shooting percentage of all time at 45.4%, the best shooter would be Kerr, not Curry or Allen.
Reguardless. 7 times to the fucking finals. Straight. You know how hard that is with new raw ass talent every season after another? He gonna end up being great in the end but it'll be way better of a history to watch once he's gone.
The GOAT has just spoken.
JoseDavid281 sadly he's 3-5
MJ was not in the video tho... clickbait much?
JoseDavid281 you get it... Suspicious MJ fans !.. Only rings ?
We talking about statistics about the players themselves-!!
JoseDavid281 in your dreams...MJ is a real GOAT 6 rings 6 final MVP never lose in finals...
Jordan is goat. Even Lebron knows it.
Lebron will never be Jordan and I realize many of you were too young to see the dominance of Jordan so here's some proof....
10 scoring titles (nearly straight), DPOY in an era ran by centers, 6 championships and FMVP's including 2 3-peats, the first 3-peat which they had grandpa Cartwright at center.
Michael Jordan has 6 of the top 10 playoff series scoring AVERAGES of all time. Kobe doesn't have 1. Lebron doesn't have 1. Not even Wilt has one. In his prime, Jordan was ridiculous and it's a shame that he retired midway through.
Jordan has most of the important winning records - highest winshares in playoff/reg season history, highest regular season PER, highest playoff PER, highest scoring average regular season, highest post season. His prime finals performances were utterly ridiculous and had legendary moments almost every finals - 1991 puts up 31 and 11.4 on the Lakers with 13 FG straight not missing and "the move", 1992 against the Blazers hits and sets finals record 6 3's in a half and points in a half, 1993 sets finals record 41 PPG.... all on blazing efficiency. The pat-on-the-butt consecutive steal and game winner on the jazz? Another game winner and so on, all in the finals
Playoff records
Jordan - 47
Russell - 15
Lebron - 7
Kareem - 5
Kobe - 5
Dude. Russell had TWELVE teams in the league. Jordan had over double to compete against! Not to mention Russell had multiple hall of famers each championship. Russell's not even top 3! Even Russell admitted Wilt was better than him.
its okay he dont have to be just let him be LBJ
Well said!! Good job! Keep letting these millennials know. There’s a reason y that man Jordan still gets brought up on this league at 55 years old
Lebron has way more than 7 records in the playoffs idk where you got your “facts”
bledredwine and your showing this to say what? Do you not see some of the comments in here say it's not about the comparison? Still one of those who feel the need to throw shade huh.NEWS FLASH NO ONE GIVES A DAMN ABOUT JORDAN EXCEPT YOU AND THR STUPID T.V.ANALYST,KING JAMES THE G.O.A.T.!!!!
3:08 - 3:21 that's all, Stop the hate and spread fairness and love!!!
i was born in 80's, i watched MJ in the 90's, he was the god not only in the basketball world but in the sports.. i've seen KB's in his greatness and idolizing him even up to now.. now we have seen Lebron in his prime.. he's the greatest player in this generation, probably when he was in the miami HEAT team.. but if you want me to pick in all against team in all era of all time? no one could beat CHICAGO BULLS in Michael Jordan's ERA..

Great interview. My favorite player since Mike
his PPG in playoffs no where near MJ. mj missed two seasons of prime.
thats great.
That's because Lebron is a pass-first kinda player. His assist are way higher than MJs.
Joey sukhi He still did it on 120 less attempts, more rebounds, more assists, and more blocks. Your point is?
Jordan is a scorer. Bron is an All-Around type.
Jordan is a scorer, LeBron is a basketball player.
Hero. Mentor. Inspiration. #StriveForGreatness🚀
in the 23rd liker of this vid
Cloneme12 nah, all good here..
LeBron is a great player and so are many others, but MJ is a legend and he will always be remembered as the greatest player ever.
He will never be better than GOAT Michael Jordan
5th Finals loss coming
2PACLosAngeles nah
Good luck with that, you'll need it. watching LBJ you know he has a presence that makes KD tense up and choke when it matters most. KD not a real baller just like PG. will never win a ring
Hey, at least is not a first round exit that nobody seems to notice or remember, mr "finals stats".
Alex D. Yo fuckin dumbass, Bron Bron has only been to seven straight cause the east is so goddamn weak. No competition. I think lebron would've been better off in a competitive east so that he wouldn't make the finals every year as a weak assed team that loses more than they win
Y'all dumbfucks who keep saying hurr durr if he was in the super packed and superior and full of beast teams west hurr durr... but wouldn't he be on a beast west team too?
It's already proven that you can take shit teams, put lebron on them, get to the finals. In the so full of beast teams west, wouldn't he be on one too?
Anyways, getting back to my comment, and your response.
So, your argument is that perfect finals records are a relevant point only when you decide if it's easy or not to get there.
So you're basically saying a first round exit in the west is more of an accomplishment than thhis east dude going to 6 finals and winning half of them. That's a bright mind of yours, I'd like to hear more of how it works LMAO
Next time, if you're trying to make it sound like you have a point at least make sure the logic behind your so call arguments works.
Bron is so far beyond any player in his era and even though he threw shade at Jordan....He KNOWS BETTER than to say he is better than Jordan on national tv.
im early
1. Jordan. 2. Kobe. 3. Lebron
Why is Lebron talking like he won another Championship ? He got 3 & been to the Finals 6 times Jordan went 6 for 6 stop comparing this Kat to Jordan .
*8 times
LeBron with rodman an pippen in his team would have 10 championships at least.
Mike played with another top 50 all timer in Scottie Pippen if LeBron gets these "bums" in the finals you have to include him in the discussion. Yes LeBron did play with Dwyane Wade but he is NOT a top 50 all timer like Scottie was.
Brandon Wilson not more finals mvp
Anthony Sykes then lbj isn't top 50 either. Because that was list of all time greats came out in 96 so your argument invalid
I really love this guy personality... go king James
the crazy thing about it is lebron passed jordan in playoff points but still don't have 5 rings
Brandon Hill it's 6 rings
Damn he’s the man...just a down to earth guy
Stop comparing them,they the goat in their eras,But all time it is MJ,he even knows its MJ,Just shows why he chose #23
I ain't a fan of the Cavs but you gotta respect LeBron and everything he has accomplished in his career. When his career comes to an end, he Will definitely one of the greats.
