As you can see When LeBron James joins a team, the team improves more than Michael Jordan and when LeBron James leaves a team, the team always goes into the tank. Michael Jordan, excluding the 94-97 seasons, when the NBA moved the three point line to 22 feet, was a career 28% three point shooter. LeBron James is a career 34% three point shooter Michael Jordan was a great defensive player, in an Era where you could handcheck. Playing defense is much easier when you can handcheck. For nearly 6'9 250 LeBron James' entire career he wasn't afforded the opportunity to handcheck. THE EVIDENCE IS CLEAR..LEBRON JAMES IS THE GOAT!!!!! I have added a Postscript So many have replied, that LeBron james didn't make the playoffs his first two years and Jordan did. What they fail to say is, in 1985, 16 of 23 teams made the playoffs. In 2004, 16 of 29 teams made the playoffs. It was MUCH EASIER to make the playoffs in 1985, as opposed to 2004. Perfect example is, the 1985 86 bulls went 30-52 and made the playoffs and the 2004 05 cavaliers went 42-40 and did not make the playoffs. Also, I don't know, possibly, maybe, Jordan had a HUGE ADVANTAGE considering he played three years of college basketball and LeBron James was 19 years old, and straight out of high school
@@vicepresidentmikepence889dude, y'all talk about Pippen like he's so great. Be honest, is he as good as Kyrie, D Wade or AD? Pippin never averaged more than 17 points in the playoffs. Just stop LeBron hasn't even been the best player during some of the years of his prime! C'mon man.
How do you 90's fans not understand the concept of expansion? Players were drafted off current teams. Creating vacancies on those very teams, in which players not technically NBA-caliber anymore (old NBA players/fringe overseas guys) were needed/brought in, to fill those spots. What does this mean? Rosters were weaker across the league, with players who were not NBA-caliber without the expansion spread across teams. Teams could only protect a set number of their rosters. This left good role players available (like BJ Armstrong) who were drafted via expansion. What does this mean? Those top teams got considerably weaker via less depth in the 90's. There is a strong argument the 80's had more talent than the 90's because top teams got to keep their deep benches. The 90's only had 1 stacked team- Chicago. Whose roster was considerably better and deeper than any other team in the 90's. Lastly, both Larry Bird & Dennis Rodman publicly have said expansion weakens the league- it is common sense. Unfortunately, common sense is not so common anymore.

The 90s had the most 60 win teams and 55 win teams out of any era yet some want us to believe that Jordan’s competition was weak? Jordan’s Bulls took out 7 of these 60 win teams in the playoffs, 4 of them were in the Finals! And the Bulls were doing this while winning 60 or more games themselves. 93 was the only championship year where they won less than 60.
He was 12-14 during Jordan's 2nd 3 peat. Not even old enough to comprehend 75% of his career but he likes to pretend he's an authority on the 80s and 90s. His opinion on that era holds about as much weight as my 8 year old nephew's does.
IF LeBalco spent more time on his game instead of trying to convince people he is the best he might have gotten further. He wants to hold up 6 fingers so bad like MJ, but he knows people will think that he is talking about his 6 Ls in the finals.
Those teams were added in part due to how much Michael Jordan green the league, I mean he made the NBA even more of a nationwide phenomenon and a worldwide phenomenon, bringing so much revenue in that the league could expand to other cities.
@@bigsam0069 you clearly don’t watch him then . Jj is actually smart and know ball , don’t need stay relevant people watch and listen to him because he super smart
pretty sad really. When JJ first started appearing on ESPN shows, he was liked by most people because he was calling out stupid takes. Now, he's making them. Doesn't really matter if he's done that 20 years, ONE scoring title is ONE scoring title. He was the best scorer in the league ONE TIME. He has the most points, but is he the best scorer? NO
John Stockton has more assists and steals than anybody. Is he considered the best PG or best defender of all-time? Nope. He's top 5 PG but he wasn't better than Magic or Robinson or maybe even Thomas.
If MJ and the Bulls had faced and beat these Nuggets in 1997 or something, people would say MJ faced a slow flat footed clumsy plumber and the rings don't count
Exactly! But because he beat LeBron's team, that "slow flat footed clumsy plumber" is one of the greatest ever in their minds. I wouldn't be surprised if they put him in the all time top 10 in a year or 2.
JJ reddick doesn't even know how expansion worked. When a team is added thru expansion, every team had to leave 3 players unprotected for that team to choose. That team also got a top pick in the draft. So they weren't just adding players off the street. They were actual NBA players and college players.
Calling someone a greater scorer simply because they averaged fewer points over a longer period is such a weird argument. I could play against Lebron 1-on-1 at a random playground, get dominated 0-21, then when he leaves after 1 game I beat my lil cousin 15-10 five times and that makes me a greater scorer than Lebron? JJ using arguments like this is not doing Lebron any favors..
Extremely great video. I will be saving, and rewatching this one. - Excellent observation that Reddick is trying to change the narrative after LeBron gets destroyed round 1.

JJ Reddick would have been physically destroyed in the 80s and 90s. He's a soft spot up shooter lived on the perimeter. The era Reddick played in is a horrible excuse For bball
@@mpetkovic26 Steve Kerr did get destroyed... That's why Steve Kerr was a bench warmer and role player who averaged like 10 mins per game. Steve Kerr never made 1 All-Star team. Steve Kerr was the same player as John Paxson. Both were role players that would come in for 1 purpose and then get benched. What set players like Isiah and Stockton apart, was that they had great mid-range game, transition game, and could drive. JJ and Kerr were abysmal inside the 3 point line.

You know whats funny the pistons who had the number 1 pick lost to a jazz team with a bunch of g leauge players with no collin sexton and john collins 😂😂 and they wanna talk about the 90s were watered down pfft what a joke
He absolutely lied about adding 90 players and he knows it. When there's expansion, they have a expansion draft. You're picking from other nba teams players that aren't protected from the expansion draft. There's no 90 guys just walking off the street because the nba needed more players. They already were nba players
These guys will say "Bill Russell not the GOAT because he only had 8 teams back then", "90s was watered down with expansion", and "2010s/2020s is the greatest and most skilled era ever" in the same breath. They discredit Bill's league for not being big enough, MJ's league for being too big, and LeBron's league as the best despite being the biggest league ever.
Remember Kobe learned from Jordan. Everyone says Kobe was a killer. Kobe dominated the league til he couldn't take it anymore before Lebron took over. If you think MJ wouldn't do the same or worse you are insane...lol If anyone looked at Jordan the wrong way he's dropping 40. If you talk smack you gettin 50. You piss him off he's going for 60.
Bro your videos have been top notch lately. Love the edits. Keep up the great work 👍Btw you should look up Rick Barry's latest quote about today's NBA. He talks about the no defense, the carrying the ball, the traveling, and all the moving screens.
What's actually watered down was lebron's entire career spending most of it on a weak eastern conference playing with two more all stars in their prime and still losing more than winning.. that's what watered down actually means
I dont get how a role players opinion is regarded so high. He's not even elite amongst his peers. He was almost a bust for how how the magic drafted him
My man you are absolutely crushing it with these videos lately. You deserve 1 million subs. You are one of the best in the business. Keep it up. We appreciate you.
Let’s not forget, they changed the defensive rules about hand checking and zone defense. The reason why LeBron lasted in the the NBA until now, is because he didn’t get hacked, pummeled when he drove to the hole.
With 23 teams it means top 345 players in the world are playing in the NBA, if you add to 30 teams it means top 450 players in the world are in NBA just like today. It all comes down to the same thing.

I'm 34 and I remember being glued to the screen as Jordan put on a show every night.
Lmao shut up you’re just a fan
IF LeBalco spent more time on his game instead of trying to convince people he is the best he might have gotten further. He wants to hold up 6 fingers so bad like MJ, but he knows people will think that he is talking about his 6 Ls in the finals.
🤣🤣🤣
dawg what aree u saying he spends so much time and is getting better
Those teams were added in part due to how much Michael Jordan green the league, I mean he made the NBA even more of a nationwide phenomenon and a worldwide phenomenon, bringing so much revenue in that the league could expand to other cities.
At this point, the media isn't even moving the goal post, they're breaking that shit down lol
JJ is a CLOWN.
Lebron is not even a top ten player of all time. He’s not clutch, he’s not a leader, he always passes blame.
Clown take buddy . JJ knows ball
@@poppatheegoatJJ knows what to say to make the media happy so he can keep his revenue up😂
@@bigsam0069 you clearly don’t watch him then . Jj is actually smart and know ball , don’t need stay relevant people watch and listen to him because he super smart
@@poppatheegoatJJ knows LeBron’s balls on his chin.
@@poppatheegoat JJ only knows LeBrons bawls on his chin.
One of the funniest intros i've ever seen about Lebron and Klutch.
I lost it at the KLUTCH helicopter 🤣
You ain’t a fan if you on payroll. Know the difference 😂
Why are we talking about what a role player says, who at his best was not even the best 6th man of NBA in his entire career?
By this same logic you can’t even discuss basketball because you didn’t make the nba
are u in the nba no so stfu
JJ Redick sure is in a hurry to get blamed for loosing and fired.. wild times 😂
JJ stands for JaJoke 😂
James' Jockstrap
Yikes lol
JJ Ride-dick
Just juggling
If the 90's was so bad then why did Reddick get rolled by players from the 90's era.
"Most clutch player ever" bricked a WIDE OPEN GAME WINNER THREE POINTER.
People like this prove, that an opinion can be both wrong and stupid
If it wasn’t for the bubble he’d be stuck with 3 rings.
pretty sad really. When JJ first started appearing on ESPN shows, he was liked by most people because he was calling out stupid takes. Now, he's making them.
Doesn't really matter if he's done that 20 years, ONE scoring title is ONE scoring title. He was the best scorer in the league ONE TIME. He has the most points, but is he the best scorer? NO
John Stockton has more assists and steals than anybody. Is he considered the best PG or best defender of all-time? Nope. He's top 5 PG but he wasn't better than Magic or Robinson or maybe even Thomas.
“MJ ALL DAY.” They never mentioned MJ was a first team defensive player for multiple years. Basketball is a two way game
Does that mean the LeBronze finals run was watered down as a result of expansion, JJ? 🤔
Now a days job security means shitting on the 90's and glazing Lebron.
So why Stephen a still got a job
"You play to win the game!"
HELLO 😅
Bu-but-but, "its just basketball" LoL
It’s almost like the people forgot that winning is the point of the game!!!!
"Check my stats" - LBJs legacy
Do u pay a game ticket to watch a guy dropping 35p or to read a 21 years stat sheet?
Lebron couldn't hold MJ'S jock strap
If MJ and the Bulls had faced and beat these Nuggets in 1997 or something, people would say MJ faced a slow flat footed clumsy plumber and the rings don't count
Exactly! But because he beat LeBron's team, that "slow flat footed clumsy plumber" is one of the greatest ever in their minds. I wouldn't be surprised if they put him in the all time top 10 in a year or 2.
@@jtremaine23 yep
A 70-year old Jordan would beat a prime JJ Reddick via fundamentals🤣
Just wait this is just the beginning. Once Lebron retires the full on propaganda trying to discredit Jordan will begin.
Jordan is the goat because he has never been dethroned in 2 separate 3 peats! No other player in history has done that!
It’s been 2 decades since a professional sports team won a 3peat…ppl don’t bring up how insanely difficult it is to win 3 championships in a row
Klutch Sports got diddy tapes on JJ redDICK
JJ reddick doesn't even know how expansion worked. When a team is added thru expansion, every team had to leave 3 players unprotected for that team to choose. That team also got a top pick in the draft. So they weren't just adding players off the street. They were actual NBA players and college players.
Uncut Hoops= common sense, due diligence, smart.
Lebron stans= paid cents, due idiocracy, brains like bart.
JJ has a podcast with LBJ. So I already knew that he was on the bron over jordan train
JJ always sounds like he’s on the verge of crying.
JJ Reddick is the biggest Lebron James jock sniffer in the media today.
JJ’s the next head coach/scapegoat of the Lakers. Their little show isn’t a podcast, it’s a job interview.
JJ “Klutch Sports” Reddick
JJ Reddick is doing damage control for his buddy. LeBron is desperate for his legacy as the goat, but its never gonna happen.
90 PRO Basketball Players, not dudes from the YMCA.
LeJJ probably gives Leblam a nice slow reach around.
JJ really wants that head coaching job.
Great !! Im glad u have a platform to say what i was thinking. Thanku
Calling someone a greater scorer simply because they averaged fewer points over a longer period is such a weird argument. I could play against Lebron 1-on-1 at a random playground, get dominated 0-21, then when he leaves after 1 game I beat my lil cousin 15-10 five times and that makes me a greater scorer than Lebron? JJ using arguments like this is not doing Lebron any favors..
Extremely great video. I will be saving, and rewatching this one.
- Excellent observation that Reddick is trying to change the narrative after LeBron gets destroyed round 1.
THE POST 2020 NBA IS 90 PLAYERS MORE WATERED-DOWN THAN THE 90s.
90s: 12-man roster, 15 under contract.
Post 2020: 15-man roster, 18 under contract.
Net difference of 3 players times 30 equals….?
By Reddit’s own standard he’s got no argument.
The delusion is strong with Lebron enablers/supporters/fans.
Listen to JJ Redick, we must not.
Only enablers/supporters the guy runs trolls and bots all over the place
JJ Reddick would have been physically destroyed in the 80s and 90s. He's a soft spot up shooter lived on the perimeter. The era Reddick played in is a horrible excuse
For bball
Like 170 pounds Steve Kerr that got destroyed
@@mpetkovic26 Steve Kerr did get destroyed... That's why Steve Kerr was a bench warmer and role player who averaged like 10 mins per game. Steve Kerr never made 1 All-Star team. Steve Kerr was the same player as John Paxson. Both were role players that would come in for 1 purpose and then get benched. What set players like Isiah and Stockton apart, was that they had great mid-range game, transition game, and could drive. JJ and Kerr were abysmal inside the 3 point line.
@@JonHop1 nah he did fine in his role. The era Reddick played was far better more complex than anything 80s showed both in terms of offensive schematics and defensive
@@mpetkovic26 LOL "complex"... "far better"... LMAO... Bud, the ratings say otherwise.. The 80's and 90's had better ratings, and half the people didnt even have cable back then... The 80's and 90's were the best era of the NBA and its not really even up for debate. The numbers speak for themselves. Also, the rating for the NBA were 35-40% higher, because 35-40% of people watched the NBA at bars back then because cable was expensive. Whereas now, 90% of people watch the NBA on TV/phone/computer and every single ratings metric is used to count every single viewer. No one cares about offensive "complexities".... People want ENTERTAINMENT... which the 80's and 90's provided. There was a ton of fighting, a ton of bully ball, and physical play. Competition was better, and rivalries were actually real back then. Teams hated each other. In the 2000's everyone was best friends...
@@JonHop1 ok, maybe you want wwe i want sport. You are taking a stance which non basketball purist would take which is fine. Im talking only about gameplay and on court stuff. I dont care really about bipolarism rivalry i want best actual product. I dont want to be entertained and would not be entertained watching guards that cant dribble to the left, people guarding nobodies in the corner due to illegal defence and so on. Not denying entry passes on post. Its funny cause the other day i was thinking Steph Curry that is considered player you can bully weights more than rookie mj
Lets be honest if JJ played in the 80's and 90's he'd be that era's Thanasis
This is the guy who called Larry Bird overrated and the players from the 50's and 60's plumbers. The disrespect is unbelievable, shame on you Espn!
I'm not a sports guy, I don't pay that much attention to this stuff but to me it seems like this:
For the GOAT, the fans choose MJ, the media chose LJ
Isn't this guy suppose to be the Basketball savant whose purpose in life is to be a student of basketball?
How can he come up with this stupid takes and people take him seriously is beyond me.
He got bought just like most of the media. It's so obvious.
You can't be a real student of the game if you are so disrespectful to the guys that paved ways to you
Great work as usual. Great analysis too. 👏👏👍👍
He’s got the most points all time.. does NOT make him the greatest scorer of all time.. what a joke
$ makes a lot of people change their tune.
JJ Reddeck promoted to leader of the LeMinions
JJ Redick critisizes Jordan and the "Jordan Era" with far too much passion and anger. There is no way he doesn't care about the GOAT debate as he claims.
Great Job bro, thanks for always put context and facts to all your material
10:30 Shaq's face 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Because JJ is catching Shaq in the crossfire. He even says that Shaq played in that era as well. Lol, what an idiot JJ is.
Shaw know he sayin some bull sh t 💩 😅
JJ is literally shitting on his era and his team with obvious bullshit and then asks Shaq to cosign it. It's crazy gaslighting.
Does Shaq at least defends his era?
Did players in the 90s shit on players in the 70s and 80s like this?
JJ Reddick sold his integrity for money. How come you trust this guy in any shape or form.
Glad JJ being called out on that nonsense. SaS and few others. JJ making out like they added some bums. What about now with G leagie players, is that watering down the league ?
You know whats funny the pistons who had the number 1 pick lost to a jazz team with a bunch of g leauge players with no collin sexton and john collins 😂😂 and they wanna talk about the 90s were watered down pfft what a joke
These players who are benefitting from the popularity Jordan brought to the league need to sit down and show some respect
COOK🔥
He absolutely lied about adding 90 players and he knows it. When there's expansion, they have a expansion draft. You're picking from other nba teams players that aren't protected from the expansion draft. There's no 90 guys just walking off the street because the nba needed more players. They already were nba players
These guys will say "Bill Russell not the GOAT because he only had 8 teams back then", "90s was watered down with expansion", and "2010s/2020s is the greatest and most skilled era ever" in the same breath. They discredit Bill's league for not being big enough, MJ's league for being too big, and LeBron's league as the best despite being the biggest league ever.
Remember Kobe learned from Jordan. Everyone says Kobe was a killer. Kobe dominated the league til he couldn't take it anymore before Lebron took over. If you think MJ wouldn't do the same or worse you are insane...lol If anyone looked at Jordan the wrong way he's dropping 40. If you talk smack you gettin 50. You piss him off he's going for 60.
Love the vids man. Keep’em coming. Keep stepping on their necks with the TRUTH.
Bro your videos have been top notch lately. Love the edits. Keep up the great work 👍Btw you should look up Rick Barry's latest quote about today's NBA. He talks about the no defense, the carrying the ball, the traveling, and all the moving screens.
😂😂😂😂 the beginning of this video is hilarious.
0:02 BOOM!!! 💥
What's actually watered down was lebron's entire career spending most of it on a weak eastern conference playing with two more all stars in their prime and still losing more than winning.. that's what watered down actually means
I dont get how a role players opinion is regarded so high. He's not even elite amongst his peers. He was almost a bust for how how the magic drafted him
The intros to your videos are getting better and better.
I like to think Uncut Hoops is the same guy that does those food review videos in a suit, makes the experience that much more enjoyable!
JJ Rhetoric
I used to respect JJ Reddick for his insight as a former player. But this LeBron glazing has completely erased all of that.
JJ Redickhead
What is going on with these bots on youtube LOL
they annoying
That Mike Pence account is 100% a boy, he has been copy pasting that same comment for over a year.
Bro 😂😂😂 love your channel, You and Skap been on it 🫡💯
My man you are absolutely crushing it with these videos lately. You deserve 1 million subs. You are one of the best in the business. Keep it up. We appreciate you.
Klitch Sports is in damage control
Let’s not forget, they changed the defensive rules about hand checking and zone defense. The reason why LeBron lasted in the the NBA until now, is because he didn’t get hacked, pummeled when he drove to the hole.
Jj only mentioning the one expansion team that was made in Lebron’s time is comical.
With 23 teams it means top 345 players in the world are playing in the NBA, if you add to 30 teams it means top 450 players in the world are in NBA just like today. It all comes down to the same thing.
Who still watches ESPN/Disney outside of live sports? JJ has always been a dbag clown.
