@@Rahim.ali80 idk when LJ was a rookie pretty sure Pierce either spit on him or in his direction. But I do agree that some of the rivalry between the two was because LeBron went to another planet
The line that hits me is when KG says “he didn’t step on everyone like he could’ve”…. LeBron could’ve leveraged his position to take the shine from everyone. He could’ve not focused on player empowerment, he could’ve been a jerk to everyone, but he chose the path of unity.. truly the league couldn’t have fell into better hands.. long live the king
Hero worship is highly prevalent in the two prior generation (Kobe, MJ) They thrived on breaking down... Lebron thrived on building up. THAT'S why he's my 🐐
We can debate all we want about Bron vs MJ, i like MJ more but if you think Bron the GOAT I respect it. The one thing though: If you have to explain the game of basketball to somebody, show your kids how to play, or answer who the face of basketball should be all time, it's Lebron. Plays the game the right way, can do anything on the floor, always getting teammates involved, no scandals, no family issues, a great guy in general. He should be the face of basketball: Jordan can be the better player between the two, but if I had to choose an individual to represent basketball in the eyes of others, it would probably be Bron.
Lebron aint no top 5 because he had more help than any other superstar. He whines over calls from refs like a damn child, the refs give him less offensive foul calls, Espn over talk about him as if he is there savior and he used to flip a lot in the first six years of his career. I'm not fooled by just numbers. 2007 and 2018 finals run weren't impressive at all to me. He had a few good games but overall Detroit in 2007 should have made the finals and the young Boston team in 2018 would have better for the league. He has brought the ratings of the NBA down for most of his career. Woke political clown who may make millions but will have to leave it all behind one day.

@kapo2012fb Me? Nah bro, I am a 50 year old man who understands that the game evolves. I would select MJ over Lebron for the last shot of the game; however, I would select LeBron if I had to start a franchise. As great as MJ was, he only got to a championship under one coach and system. LeBron went to a championship at 22 years old with a roster that was worse than what MJ had under Doug Collins. MJ would not have gotten that Cavs roster to a title.
@tru3199 MJ was taught by Dean Smith, Bobby Knight (84 Olympics), and Phil Jackson w/Tex Winters and Red Kerr as assistants. These gentlemen are/were great basketball minds. What great coach did LeBron learn from? The dude averaged 20/5/5 in the league at 18. He has won titles under multiple coaches and systems. Each team he played on got worse after he departed while the Bulls was a phantom call away from beating the Knicks and advancing to the conference championship without MJ.

This is amazing 😂😂😂. PP and KG did a WHOLE 180 on Bron. They were his staunchest critics for his entire career, so for them to call him the GOAT shows just how great the dude is & adds more credence, because both of them were MJ guys. Insane.
I think this is normal though. When you are not far removed from the game that competitive spirit is still alive and burning inside you. You have regrets and what if's on top of that. Some players it takes decades, but the more you are personally removed from your personal career in the game, the more objective you can be. True ballers can easily notice other true ballers, so it's no surprise they came around. Just shows the maturity and respect they have for the game and anyone who plays it at an high level. But to the fans who watch this, it for sure gives Lebrons legitimacy to anyone who isn't sure, because if anyone is to despise Lebron, its these two. lol
It’s great to hear former players give LeBron his props. He deserves it! People are always looking for an excuse to knock LeBron down by comparing him to Michael Jordan. I don’t think it’s fair to LeBron that he gets compared to MJ so often. We should just celebrate both of their greatness and stop putting one against the other. They do this with all of our black entertainers, athletes, and celebrities. Michael Jackson, versus prince, Martin Luther King versus Malcolm X, Jay Z versus Nas. Let’s just celebrate and appreciate them all without having to decide which one is better.
And not just former players but former players who used to dog and belittle his greatness but now they've witnessed Brons strive for greatness. Hell even the haters gotta put some respect on his name now #goatjames 🐐😌
I don’t get it? Lebron is the 2nd best player in history, how is that knocking him down? How can you be greater than someone who accomplished more in a lot less time? Longevity is the ONLY thing Lebron truly has over Jordan. Ok he leads in total points and is 4th in assists right? Now where is he in total turnovers, missed shots, missed free throws, and total games lost? If your gonna count longevity stats than compare all of them, not just the ones to go along your narrative. In every analytic stats Jordan is greater than Lebron. Lebron is 2nd in 95% of them so what’s wrong with being 2nd?
I am shocked to hear the Truth say thus. That’s takes a lot ego wise to humble yourself like that. He has pierced Lebron quite a few times as well, one on one, so very interesting to hear that.
Idk if people realize how insane this is. Their Celtics team and that heat/early cavs LeBron era, had absolute wars. They had no love for each other. For p and kg to crown their biggest foe while they were in their prime as the GOAT, is just unbelievable. Crown the king.
Not to mention these dudes played against Jordan in his PRIME in their early years in the league, and are calling Bron goat. Just stop and think about that for a moment.
@@prolestprod.KG entered the league in 95 and watched Jordan come back to lead the bulls to 72-10 in his rookie season and 3 straight chips in a row lol. Pierce came in right as Jordan retired in 98 so only got to play him as a still great, but declining shell of his former self years later
No this is exactly what old players do to Jordan. If your not considered the goat. The best thing you can do is to say I went against the goat and achieved such and such.
@@NinoBlacks bro they were falling apart by 97-98. They maybe could’ve squeezed out 1 more in the shortened lockout 99 season but would’ve gotten smacked by Shaq and Kobe in 2000.
I will never forget the first time I saw anything about LBJ way back in 01 an article on ESPN I went crazy and started telling everyone about him I been a FAN and following his career every since. I'm happy 😊
I knew long ago that they were afraid of what LeBron James could do. During the playoffs when they claimed to "break" the King, Paul Pierce made the statement that he couldn't "beat all five of us." That right there said everything that I needed to hear.
This right here means so much. From being fierce rivals who came up idolizing Jordan to acknowledging Bron's GOAT status. Of all people, I thought KG and Paul would hold out forever -- but I'm so glad to be wrong. Respect.
watch the 2010 - 2011 NBA championship game. i dare you bron fans and tell me he is the goat ! then watch all 6 bull run as a champion "91 to '93 and '96 to '98. again i dare you bron fans and tell yourself who is the goat ?!
Pierce asking KG if LeBron is the greatest scorer ever then KG responding “yeah, FUCK” let’s you know theirs something personal there 😂 love these guys
Pierce was an offensive beast in his prime on the crappy Celtics (2002-2007), why is he just now gaining your respect? Check his resume. He's a solid Hall of Famer.
I already had a tremendous amount of respect for both of these guys, but to see them just give Lebron his flowers the way that they just did it made me admired them even more🫡🫡
@@xofmetleh6618 Mainly for the fact that Paul has on numerous occasions said Lebron isn't a top five player all time. KG has never been too dismissive of him to be fair but this is Paul finally coming around and paying respect.
Absolutely 💯 bc Garrett wanted to break him in the last championship game they played against him..fast forward now KG & PP both gives LBJ great highlights for his career! Thank you guys!
I appreciate the acknowledgement for Bron, never too late, but I think this shows how they really felt about him this whole time. No way Paul had all those people ahead of Bron when Bron had 1 less point than Kareem. And now that he passed him, he sky rockets to the top?
Sometimes it takes something almost impossible or believed to be impossible for people to belive and that record and him averaging 30 still going at it with some of the greatest talents at 38 thatll fucking do it lol kareem record was believed to never be touched we all watched and I think most are still in miss belief that it's broken and will be extended the effect of extended that record and breaking won't really hit until lebron retire
Some people don't realize greatness until they see something that stands out to them. I think the fact that lebron broke the scoring record without that being the strongest part of his game made pierce realize lebron is truly different.
😊 thats what money can do.....what a clown ! bron is a great player. bit not a goat. annual sale of "air jordan" brand is 150 million and le bron 35M....mind you, MJ retired 20 yrs ago.... here in asia we know who is the true goat. the world knows who is the goat !
To hear two Boston greats with there history of playing against lebron year in and year out in the playoffs say this is mind blowing. Knowing they been jordan guys forever. What a change time can do
I refuse to argue all time, because the comparisons between the eras are so vastly different. People can have those unwinnable debates, I'm good on that. lol But Lebron is for sure this generations greatest player. Plus, I think a lot of people mix up the best player with who they like the best. Growing up in Indiana Reggie Miller was my favorite player. Was he better than Kobe or MJ? Of course not. But you couldn't tell me that growing up. lol
@@YerpDerp17 definitely that. And yeah, everybody’s got their own criteria for it, and it changes like the wind. But definitely the greatest of the 2000s. No one can take that away.
I love this. Much props much respect for these guys for saying this and setting the argument straight. Y’all are a great example of evolution to this upcoming generation. It’s humbling to hear these guys say this knowing their history.
For this to come from Paul one of his biggest rivals means a lot. Even KG. Ppl can go back and forth all day if LBJ is better than MJ or not but the fact remains he’s in the conversation.
Bron became a billionaire AND the leagues all time leading scorer WHILE STILL PLAYING....let that sink in...you gonna have to be super super great early and in yo mid years to even get to half of the things he has done!!! Amazing and inspiring and also insane!! Im from Ohio and I remember when I first heard about him...to see this now is a sight to behold!!💪🏾💪🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😎😎✊🏾✊🏾✅️✅️💯💯
he is a great player....that already sink in. le bron has 63 NBA accolades in 21 yrs of playing. 21 long yrs. Michael Jeffrey Jordan has " SIXTY EIGHT (68) NBA ACCOLADES IN jUST LESS THAN 13 YRS OF PLAYING! " and another 2 more with the wizards - thats what you call - LET THAT SINK IN ! in just less than 15 yrs.... le bron is a great player..his nike brand apparel annual sale is $35 Million michael jeffrey jordan RETIRED 20 yrs ago. air jordan brand annual sale is - one hundred fifty (150) million dollars....now let that sink in. oh by the way, he is the first NBA player to be a billionaire...
@Tru 319 Oldheads are dying, MJ is running out of documentaries to drop every time LeBron does anything great. 2000 babies side with LeBron. You can keep MJ as your goat. Others will have LeBron as theirs.
lmfao getting swept twice and gentlemen swept twice in the finals and scoring 8 points in 2011 finals against J.J. Barea, losing to Dwight Howard in playoffs man to man who is not even top 75 sure makes you the GOAT
The most amazing thing about him is his durability. I understand the league isn’t as physical but he hasn’t had a freak injury or anything. And it all goes back to how he takes care of his body .
Man seeing guys who had HEATED battles with this man Hall of gamers give this man his Credit and Love is what the matters, they should celebrate & no hate on somebody who accomplished all you can in the game off basketball is Dope
Wow! I never thought I’ll see the day these 2 would give Bron his due respect. I knew once he broke the record the conversation was gonna change, and it should. We saw something incredible! Man! If Bron manages to get another ring some way some how it’s gonna really put pressure on the GOAT debate. I love MJ, but man Bron is shifting things around.
Is Emmitt Smith the greatest running back of all time? Has he ever been mentioned in that conversation? Is John Stockton the greatest passer of all time? You guys are 🤡 lol unbelievable. We started measuring greatness by totals not by per game numbers. LOL.
@@HT-sm9dm you sound absolutely dumb! We are not talking about Emmit and we sure ain’t talking about John Stockton. We talking about Bron. Don’t act like he ain’t making a compelling case for himself. You don’t have to like it, but it’s happening. I’ve seen MJ in his prime, so I’m not hating at all. I personally got …. 1. MJ 2. LeBron
@@HT-sm9dm if the definition of goat for you is about the # of rings then Jordan shouldn't even be in the conversation. You jordan ccksuckers always discredit other players just to make michelle look better lol come to your senses manchild
2 of the NBA's 75th Anniversary All-Time Team members who played against LeBron are admitting that he's the GOAT all in one sitting. It doesn't get better than this. 🐐 👑
Only thing I would say is they beat Bron. So it makes them look better. The debate will never die, two greats no matter what anyone says. GOAT is a fantasy conversation
Wow, I thought these guys hated Lebron. I wasn’t expecting this but kudos to the both of them for putting this in perspective. That’s rational thinking.
No lie, I turned 38 last week and everyday is a project to keep this body running and going at its maximum production. Shit we didn’t pay attention to at 28. One injury and we out for months. Father Time is undefeated
For those younger ones Paul Pierce isn’t LeBron fan boy. Search for their story between them and then you will understand how incredible this videos is. I am amazed.
Can't take anything away from Jordan, but to go 20 years for how ever many games to play AND to appear in how ever many finals he was in, that in itself is pretty impressive. And he the main guy is n the team and not on the bench.
He's top 10 in like 6 stats #1 in points #4 in assist And did this with multiple teams. Stockton is #1 in assist but played in one system the whole time. You can say that may be different in a different situation. Mike may not have 6 rings if he was on the pacers bcuz he only had success in Phil's system. Lebron moving around and being great wherever he went makes him the goat to me
No, it doesn't. Mike could have gone to Lakers, houston, portland, etc. That would made him quit. He never jumped ship. Lebron didn't it a different way & he his goated aswell. Let's celebrate lebrons greatest, but he ain't better than Mike.
@@sportstalkonly1442 too easy if jordan hoped teams. I don't get your point. Those 2 3peats were bloody hard work. Which ever way you look or analys or dig it out, it all falls back to jordan being the goat. I know it's hard for you to believe, but it's OK son you will get there one day.
MJ 6 for 6, never loss in the finals Kareem 6 chips, 6 mvps Kobe 5 chips, didn't team hop around the league to win. Tim Duncan 5 chips , & beat bron twice Bron - 3 chips, 1 bubble ring that I personally don't count. Didn't even have a parade. All time scoring title. Forms superteams & stacks the deck.
Just wait until his J Kidd years. He could fall back and have 2-3 seasons of 600+ assists per season. So a minimum of 1,800 added to his total. He’s going to end his career #1 in points, #2 in assists, and could possibly be top 20 in rebounds. It’s just crazy
I thought this was clickbait, but after listening my jaw dropped. KG & Paul Pierce saying this?!?? I can't think of two people who hated on Bron more than them besides Skip Bayless. Glad to see people finally seeing the light on this one.
I bet y’all saying this means a lot to him, and any one who follows basketball knows his story doesn’t happen without you all beating him and continuing to challenge him. Awesome players and awesome perspective
Why isn’t Kareem the “goAt”you can make the case🤷♂️that’s why I don’t like the “goAt” debate it’s so stupid to me!!! There’s to many players you could mention lebron obviously, Kareem obviously, magic, bird, Kobe, Jordan probably as well! It’s a tough discussion! I say we just give all those greats their respect and flowers that they’ve earned
I’m not a Bron hater but MJ accomplished more in less time with less superstar support in a league that plainly said they making scoring easier. Bron is in fanatic shape and it’s a testament to him and his longevity but the goat, naa man.
MJs teams were more dominant. MJ is more accomplished but LeBron reached his accomplishments faster. He just coasted therefore resulting in less accolades. He won 4 mvps in 5 years and reached 4 mvps at the same time as MJ. He also already had more finals appearances by 2016. He also was the underdog in the finals more than Jordan was. Jordan was always the favorite.
Is it LeBron fault that Jordan didn’t have the same love for the game as him. Nobody made him retire twice and one being in his prime. Not goat activities brother
Mannn this is REAL!! PP used to go ALL THE WAY IN on LbJ on and off the court!!! KG wad fearless against everyone but when it came to the CAVS and LbJ, dude always found another gear. To hear these two bruthas give any love to LbJ let's you know what they are saying is fo' real. Much respect to you two!!!
I waited that part when he starts singing Desmond Dekker songs but that didn't happened. But suddenly these guys started to love Lebron. What could possible happened? Nothing bad love is a amazing thing. Peace&...
For those who know how much Paul Pierce hated LeBron to see this it's something amazing.
Gave you a like but still I wouldn’t say it was hate lol I think for a while Paul was salty couldn’t let the past go.

@@feldadon2965 dude what even mention that?😂😂😂😂 bro played 8 total hofers in 6 nba finals 😂😂😂
@Tru 319 playing nobody 😂
I will never forget the first time I saw anything about LBJ way back in 01 an article on ESPN I went crazy and started telling everyone about him I been a FAN and following his career every since. I'm happy 😊
The guy has been on the spotlight since he was 14 that's crazy
You're lucky to have followed the goat his whole career! Wish I was old enough to have done that!
Been my favorite player since I was a kid as well
That's actually so dope
Facts me too!!!
I knew long ago that they were afraid of what LeBron James could do. During the playoffs when they claimed to "break" the King, Paul Pierce made the statement that he couldn't "beat all five of us." That right there said everything that I needed to hear.
This right here means so much. From being fierce rivals who came up idolizing Jordan to acknowledging Bron's GOAT status. Of all people, I thought KG and Paul would hold out forever -- but I'm so glad to be wrong. Respect.
watch the 2010 - 2011 NBA championship game. i dare you bron fans and tell me he is the goat !
then watch all 6 bull run as a champion "91 to '93 and '96 to '98. again i dare you bron fans and tell yourself who is the goat ?!
le bron is a great player...thats a fact.
but not a goat!
mj when he was the best player on a bad team: never even made the conf finals
bron when he was the best player on a bad team: made the finals twice
Yawn Bron stan
@@micapalma9532 that's not a fact
Pierce asking KG if LeBron is the greatest scorer ever then KG responding “yeah, FUCK” let’s you know theirs something personal there 😂 love these guys
I gained a lot of respect for Paul Pierce after this✊🏾🤝
Why, because you agree with him?
They’ll do a top 10 list @ Paul will put Kobe above Bron
Pierce was an offensive beast in his prime on the crappy Celtics (2002-2007), why is he just now gaining your respect? Check his resume. He's a solid Hall of Famer.
@lite codes Thassa fact. He's not capable of putting his envy to the side for very long. It'll be back 🤣😂🤣
That's what he wants, coz many people doesn't respect paul as a person anymore.
I already had a tremendous amount of respect for both of these guys, but to see them just give Lebron his flowers the way that they just did it made me admired them even more🫡🫡
Why did you assume they dont like Lebron? Theyve always respect him but hate them him when they play each other.
@@xofmetleh6618 Mainly for the fact that Paul has on numerous occasions said Lebron isn't a top five player all time. KG has never been too dismissive of him to be fair but this is Paul finally coming around and paying respect.
Absolutely 💯 bc Garrett wanted to break him in the last championship game they played against him..fast forward now KG & PP both gives LBJ great highlights for his career! Thank you guys!
@@xofmetleh6618 That's not an assumption. Lol. They hated Lebron. Just had to evolve a bit
They didn’t tell not one lie. They stopped ignoring and pretending like what he’s doing isn’t crazy.
I appreciate the acknowledgement for Bron, never too late, but I think this shows how they really felt about him this whole time. No way Paul had all those people ahead of Bron when Bron had 1 less point than Kareem. And now that he passed him, he sky rockets to the top?
Sometimes it takes something almost impossible or believed to be impossible for people to belive and that record and him averaging 30 still going at it with some of the greatest talents at 38 thatll fucking do it lol kareem record was believed to never be touched we all watched and I think most are still in miss belief that it's broken and will be extended the effect of extended that record and breaking won't really hit until lebron retire
Some people don't realize greatness until they see something that stands out to them. I think the fact that lebron broke the scoring record without that being the strongest part of his game made pierce realize lebron is truly different.
Those two are the last two guys I would ever hear show so much respect to him
now we just need skip to admit it
@@brettmg4995 NAW man Skip Bayless is gonna die on that hill 😅😅😅.
Man, to hear this from Paul and KG, which they competed against him, means so much more
KG also competed against MJ
@@pikabk8829 So did Pierce
😊 thats what money can do.....what a clown !
bron is a great player. bit not a goat.
annual sale of "air jordan" brand is 150 million and le bron 35M....mind you, MJ retired 20 yrs ago....
here in asia we know who is the true goat. the world knows who is the goat !
To hear two Boston greats with there history of playing against lebron year in and year out in the playoffs say this is mind blowing. Knowing they been jordan guys forever. What a change time can do
Finally two top legends give the respect to the King
LBJ isn’t my GOAT, but I can definitely acknowledge his greatness, longevity, business acumen, etc. It can’t be denied. Dude deserves his flowers.
yeah not the goat but the best all around, most versatile player of all time
I refuse to argue all time, because the comparisons between the eras are so vastly different. People can have those unwinnable debates, I'm good on that. lol But Lebron is for sure this generations greatest player.
Plus, I think a lot of people mix up the best player with who they like the best. Growing up in Indiana Reggie Miller was my favorite player. Was he better than Kobe or MJ? Of course not. But you couldn't tell me that growing up. lol
@@b1bbscraz3y yeah no beef with that. He’s definitely that.
@@YerpDerp17 definitely that. And yeah, everybody’s got their own criteria for it, and it changes like the wind. But definitely the greatest of the 2000s. No one can take that away.
@@b1bbscraz3y so what the GOAT have then if he is the best all round player and most versatile. I wonder u even listen to urself
2 HOF players telling you this but you at home on your couch with 0 NBA points going "LeBum"
I love this. Much props much respect for these guys for saying this and setting the argument straight. Y’all are a great example of evolution to this upcoming generation. It’s humbling to hear these guys say this knowing their history.
I actually thought that this was a fake video. Mad respect to these two.
Me too 😆 glad to see it was real tho💯💪🏾
For this to come from Paul one of his biggest rivals means a lot. Even KG. Ppl can go back and forth all day if LBJ is better than MJ or not but the fact remains he’s in the conversation.
Wasn’t expecting this . I thought y’all two was his mortal enemies. Lol respect for giving him flowers🙌🏾
Players tend to respect their contemporaries the most. They know their peers' game with certainty.
I watched this twice just to make sure it’s real. I think this is all everyone needs to hear. If you know the history, you know what this is.
Yes. Its all theatre... those who know basketball, know that lebron cannot hold a candle to jordan...
@@thinkcritically6373 go give your mom her phone kid, you ain't ready for the internet as yet.

@@Wyndamn they are getting kickbacks from klutch sports to push their agenda...
Bron became a billionaire AND the leagues all time leading scorer WHILE STILL PLAYING....let that sink in...you gonna have to be super super great early and in yo mid years to even get to half of the things he has done!!! Amazing and inspiring and also insane!! Im from Ohio and I remember when I first heard about him...to see this now is a sight to behold!!💪🏾💪🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😎😎✊🏾✊🏾✅️✅️💯💯
he is a great player....that already sink in.
le bron has 63 NBA accolades in 21 yrs of playing. 21 long yrs. Michael Jeffrey Jordan has " SIXTY EIGHT (68) NBA ACCOLADES IN jUST LESS THAN 13 YRS OF PLAYING! "
and another 2 more with the wizards - thats what you call - LET THAT SINK IN ! in just less than 15 yrs....
le bron is a great player..his nike brand apparel annual sale is $35 Million
michael jeffrey jordan RETIRED 20 yrs ago. air jordan brand annual sale is - one hundred fifty (150) million dollars....now let that sink in.
oh by the way, he is the first NBA player to be a billionaire...
KG is a Top 5 PF all-time. The man knows what he speaks of
@Tru 319 Oldheads are dying, MJ is running out of documentaries to drop every time LeBron does anything great. 2000 babies side with LeBron. You can keep MJ as your goat. Others will have LeBron as theirs.
@tru3199 hahaha you mad AF lol it's over and 20 years from now it's going to be laughable when you say that
@tru3199 you make it seem like it's 1 on 1 lol. So MJ is 0-6 in playoffs against the Celtics so Bird is better then Jordan
@@flawless39 they don’t bring this up though bird stayed sweeping jordan ass 😂💯
@Tru 319 Over 50 with still no wisdom or maturity
lmfao getting swept twice and gentlemen swept twice in the finals and scoring 8 points in 2011 finals against J.J. Barea, losing to Dwight Howard in playoffs man to man who is not even top 75 sure makes you the GOAT
Correct
It's surreal watching Bron's rivals give him his flowers when we all saw our lives same happen to Jordan all the time. How times fly by.
U guyz made me a fan. Thanx!
That’s the clutch part about lebron he lived up to the hype and past it
It honestly means so much more coming from these two guys
The most amazing thing about him is his durability. I understand the league isn’t as physical but he hasn’t had a freak injury or anything. And it all goes back to how he takes care of his body .
This was beautiful to watch ❤
Tbh im so happy they of anybody says this is so amazing honestly
And let’s not forget to mention the fact that he carried himself solid off the court as well. 👑
Jordan is the 🐐
These two giving lebron his flowers should really explain how big this situation is.
I’m actually surprised they have switched up on Lebron to this degree 😂
They never switched up on bron. Niggas both have a relationship with bron. They simply just competed for over a decade
Cause they getting paid lol 😂
@@Bigbizzle I mean they are getting paid to give their opinion.
@@Bigbizzle I love how MJ fans try to make people seem un-credible whenever they believe LeBron is the greatest. Ya’ll are sad.
@@Bigbizzle Uh huh they’re getting paid to diss MJ?
Y’all mfs sound dumb af
Amazing 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I’m so proud of these too
I think hell froze over 😂😂😂 Never thought I'd see the day
Man seeing guys who had HEATED battles with this man Hall of gamers give this man his Credit and Love is what the matters, they should celebrate & no hate on somebody who accomplished all you can in the game off basketball is Dope
This show how much equity LeBron has in the league.
Cope
Wow! I never thought I’ll see the day these 2 would give Bron his due respect. I knew once he broke the record the conversation was gonna change, and it should. We saw something incredible! Man! If Bron manages to get another ring some way some how it’s gonna really put pressure on the GOAT debate. I love MJ, but man Bron is shifting things around.
Is Emmitt Smith the greatest running back of all time? Has he ever been mentioned in that conversation? Is John Stockton the greatest passer of all time? You guys are 🤡 lol unbelievable. We started measuring greatness by totals not by per game numbers. LOL.
@@HT-sm9dm you sound absolutely dumb! We are not talking about Emmit and we sure ain’t talking about John Stockton. We talking about Bron. Don’t act like he ain’t making a compelling case for himself. You don’t have to like it, but it’s happening. I’ve seen MJ in his prime, so I’m not hating at all. I personally got ….
1. MJ
2. LeBron
@@HT-sm9dm if the definition of goat for you is about the # of rings then Jordan shouldn't even be in the conversation. You jordan ccksuckers always discredit other players just to make michelle look better lol come to your senses manchild
@@HT-sm9dm yes
@@HT-sm9dmthank you bro thank you!!
This video is beautiful, seriously. Love to see it.
2 of the NBA's 75th Anniversary All-Time Team members who played against LeBron are admitting that he's the GOAT all in one sitting. It doesn't get better than this. 🐐 👑
Played against LeBron at the highest level may I add. Giving him his flowers now is absolutely amazing.
Prison of the moment
I think a lot of the top 75 players think MJ is the GOAT and majority of current players also think MJ is the GOAT.
@@TheAliisawesome You're probably right. It's changing up. I'll have to do the research on that.
@@MistahUnknown I still would say about 75-80% do
The best interview I’ve ever seen
Only thing I would say is they beat Bron. So it makes them look better. The debate will never die, two greats no matter what anyone says. GOAT is a fantasy conversation
I share the same sentiments as well. Bc Paul said this make me that more underrated later on Twitter.
Wow, I thought these guys hated Lebron. I wasn’t expecting this but kudos to the both of them for putting this in perspective. That’s rational thinking.
I'm so glad they finally kept it real!
This might be the most amazing video in Basketball.
To hear these dudes flip on their opinion of Bron.
This is super humble. Really cool to see this.
No lie, I turned 38 last week and everyday is a project to keep this body running and going at its maximum production. Shit we didn’t pay attention to at 28. One injury and we out for months. Father Time is undefeated
For those younger ones Paul Pierce isn’t LeBron fan boy. Search for their story between them and then you will understand how incredible this videos is. I am amazed.
Seeing the Boston guys respect him is awesome man.
KG a genuine guy man
HOLY SHIT, this was all time! Outstanding...keepin it 💯
Can't take anything away from Jordan, but to go 20 years for how ever many games to play AND to appear in how ever many finals he was in, that in itself is pretty impressive. And he the main guy is n the team and not on the bench.
Yeah LBJ is from another planet. Alien level.
You gotta be a dawg to put up 38k for those saying he ain’t have a killer mentality. I’m glad they finally gave him his props
Nobody said the scoring title has anything to do with killer mentality.
To have these 2 agree Bron the GOAT means a lot if you know their history.
I like seeing when people hate or hated an individual but will show respect. I gained a lot of respect for these two
to hear those 2 say that is wild, because you know that pains them to say it, but they kept it real. Mad respect to them
Not to forget he gonna finish 40000+ points 10000+ assists 10000+ rebounds 2000+ steals which is ridiculous and blows my mind
He's top 10 in like 6 stats
#1 in points
#4 in assist
And did this with multiple teams. Stockton is #1 in assist but played in one system the whole time. You can say that may be different in a different situation. Mike may not have 6 rings if he was on the pacers bcuz he only had success in Phil's system. Lebron moving around and being great wherever he went makes him the goat to me
No, it doesn't. Mike could have gone to Lakers, houston, portland, etc. That would made him quit. He never jumped ship. Lebron didn't it a different way & he his goated aswell. Let's celebrate lebrons greatest, but he ain't better than Mike.
Stockton also had karl malone, thats like cp3 having bron his entire career.. you'd see cp3 @ like 20k assists.
@@MrOlarayyea it does
@@MrOlarayjordan threatened to quit if pippen left. Jordan had the chance many times to go to different teams and prove that
@@sportstalkonly1442 too easy if jordan hoped teams. I don't get your point. Those 2 3peats were bloody hard work. Which ever way you look or analys or dig it out, it all falls back to jordan being the goat. I know it's hard for you to believe, but it's OK son you will get there one day.
Dude I'm happy that this is happening but I've been saying this since 2016. Finally yall are coming around
Mad respect for "rivals" of LeBron giving deserved praise to the GOAT. That's grown man shit right there! ✊
Lebron is no goat lol
Big respect to kg, I always have the same reaction whenever I have a conversation about lebron. Ridiculously the most talented.
The thing that doesn’t get mentioned enough either are the assists. Add another 25,000+ points that he orchestrated to the 40,000+ he scored.
Unfortunately LeBron is the all time leader in turnovers too, want to bring that up?
Utter gibberish.
@@samueljlarson Sure. We can absolutely subtract points off turnovers from the 65,000+ he’s responsible for creating.
Just pulled some numbers out ya ass.
@@robyhartland852 LOL you're insane.
Yo appreciate this take fellas 🙌🏽. Cool to hear you guys recognize greatness 🔥
I thought it would take lebron his retirement before he got appreciated by KG and Pierce, It's amazing hearing these words on them
MJ 6 for 6, never loss in the finals
Kareem 6 chips, 6 mvps
Kobe 5 chips, didn't team hop around the league to win.
Tim Duncan 5 chips , & beat bron twice
Bron - 3 chips, 1 bubble ring that I personally don't count. Didn't even have a parade. All time scoring title. Forms superteams & stacks the deck.
The last two dudes on earth I expected to talk about Bron like this. Insaneeee
Yet Kareem had the record with all those first teams defense, an unstoppable move in the skyhook, 6 MVPs and 6 championships. What am I missing here?
A couple chromosomes apparently
pipe down old head no one is denying kareem’s all time greatness but he isn’t in the top 2 which is what this video was abt
Kareem got 3 of those rings with not being the head person leading the way
Kareem wasnt the best player half the time. Thats 1 thing you cant say about bron or mj
How many bum teams did Kareem put on his back all the way to the finals
Just wait until his J Kidd years. He could fall back and have 2-3 seasons of 600+ assists per season. So a minimum of 1,800 added to his total. He’s going to end his career #1 in points, #2 in assists, and could possibly be top 20 in rebounds. It’s just crazy
Man if ends his career like that it would impossible to deny him that title. Total points is one thing but coupled with assist and rebounds....wow!
Honestly awesome to see two of Bron’s great rivals on KG and The Truth give such praise. If only fans could do the same.
I thought this was clickbait, but after listening my jaw dropped. KG & Paul Pierce saying this?!?? I can't think of two people who hated on Bron more than them besides Skip Bayless. Glad to see people finally seeing the light on this one.
Respect and thank you to the both of you for the flowers
Two of Bron's Greatest Rivals, to be hearing this from them, this is BIG TIME as a LeBron fan. Respect.
Paul's reasons for him being the GOAT, is not what defines the GOAT.
It's impressive, but not to surpass a couple guys before him.
King James like so many greats before him was destined to be one of the greatest of all and he continued to do so fulfilling the expectations!! 🙌
KG is so lit in this video it's hilarious!!!
Cocaine lol
I bet y’all saying this means a lot to him, and any one who follows basketball knows his story doesn’t happen without you all beating him and continuing to challenge him. Awesome players and awesome perspective
Hats off to paul pearce and KG always thought they hate lebron
BS when Kareem had the scoring title no one gave Kareem the GOAT. So Lebron is not the Goat. Period nothing to discuss.
Why isn’t Kareem the “goAt”you can make the case🤷♂️that’s why I don’t like the “goAt” debate it’s so stupid to me!!! There’s to many players you could mention lebron obviously, Kareem obviously, magic, bird, Kobe, Jordan probably as well! It’s a tough discussion! I say we just give all those greats their respect and flowers that they’ve earned
I’m not a Bron hater but MJ accomplished more in less time with less superstar support in a league that plainly said they making scoring easier. Bron is in fanatic shape and it’s a testament to him and his longevity but the goat, naa man.
They just victims of the moment, lebron is top 3
MJs teams were more dominant. MJ is more accomplished but LeBron reached his accomplishments faster. He just coasted therefore resulting in less accolades.
He won 4 mvps in 5 years and reached 4 mvps at the same time as MJ. He also already had more finals appearances by 2016. He also was the underdog in the finals more than Jordan was. Jordan was always the favorite.
Is it LeBron fault that Jordan didn’t have the same love for the game as him. Nobody made him retire twice and one being in his prime. Not goat activities brother
“Less time” I don’t care about that shit. Bron was amazing for 20 years and been to 4 more finals.
@@Wh4L205 of the moment? He been in the league since 2003. Why u guys just cant accept the fact that it’s people that believe bron the goat 🐐
Mannn this is REAL!!
PP used to go ALL THE WAY IN on LbJ on and off the court!!!
KG wad fearless against everyone but when it came to the CAVS and LbJ, dude always found another gear.
To hear these two bruthas give any love to LbJ let's you know what they are saying is fo' real.
Much respect to you two!!!
And Lebron having the scoring leader title while being in the top 10 all time assist is crazy
This is amazing seeing these greats giving Bron his flowers 💯
Haha I love how straight forward KG is with no filter on this podcast 😂
I waited that part when he starts singing Desmond Dekker songs but that didn't happened. But suddenly these guys started to love Lebron. What could possible happened? Nothing bad love is a amazing thing. Peace&...
For these two to give Bron flowers means a lot
Salute to the king, and give credit to this two guy who explained it well, more power...
P Pierce saying that LBJ is the GOAT is the biggest argument for his greatness. Literally, PP has been one of the biggest LBJ haters ever.
