      The problem is that these kids grew up in the internet era...30 second clips truly don't explain the greatness of MJ. I'm 50 plus, literally watch every game he's ever played. WGN Chicago tv station on cable, when there wasn't 500 bullshit channels, had every Bulls game on, and then every Sunday ABC or NBC game featured the Bulls. TNT, etc..if you watched this man play the game, not just highlights, no body touching him. I give Kobe the nod over LeBron as far as skillset goes. Can't take anything away from LBJ but Kobe career cut short by injury last couple years. I always say, best players I've ever seen skill wise is MJ and Kobe! The era of physicality alone i give to MJ and Kobe. Lebron's IQ and Longevity can't be denied but no way he touches these guys..but again, just my opinion. Curry considered the best Shooter ever, will never be considered the best player ever. Feats don't tell the whole story or we'd have Westbrook as the man..4 yrs average trip dubs!!! Still, not the best to ever do it.

      @@rcdoubleu i actually used to the words "in my opinion" in my statement, that's a preference of whom I think is the best skilled player I've ever seen. You're right MJ didn't have to run and score 30 every night ..but he did! MJ didn't have to rim protect ( i can only assume you're referring to LBJ rundown blocks)..but he did, check highlights of those also. Your right MJ didn't play 18 straight..just dominated as scoring champ and all defensive basically his whole career which i dont know, a father's murder came into play, only to comeback and say it with me, win how many chips!?! And again, in my opinion, at the NBA level, coaches are just Ego baby sitters and situational X and O guys. And LeBron defended which Centers and when on a nightly basis??? Stop it! My whole statement acknowledged everyones attributes. I even preferenced Lebron's longevity and stats, again qualifying his over achievements, but the overall skillset and mindset to win doesn't compare to MJ. Hell, there's even a playoff game where Mark Jackson literally says Lebron's giving up, he doesn't think they can win this game after basically throwing up a bs 3pointer with time on the game clock to legitimately get into the game..the not so funny thing was, 3 seconds before he said it, i thought it to myself. You've stated a couple true statements, we thought we'd never see another Magic Johnson and we still haven't, Ben Simmons, please! Just being Tall and can dribble doesn't make you Magic! Ask the 76er staff and you're right again by not saying Lebron's better than MJ. You can't be equal and better, it's either or! Oh yeah, i also watched a 39/40 yr old Jordan bust young guys asses in the league as well. Bias, i don't think so, again, at 52 yrs old, having watched both careers, literally every game of each man, yeah..i most definitely think one is the best "I've ever witnessed"!

      Phil Jackson said that MJ's hands were the biggest difference between him and Kobe. Michael could catch the ball with one hand and make a fake without using his other hand, that gives him an advantage over the vast majority of his opponents. Over the years I have seen loads of ultra athletic players come along that were compared to MJ but none could truly walk in his shoes and that includes Kobe. MJ had the closest thing to a perfect all-around game, he had no weakness in his game.

    I've watched both, and I respect Lebron for his raw abilities. He's done some great things for basketball, and I've watched him hit some clutch shots, in big games. But, tbh, Jordan was that EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. It was an absolute pleasure to be able to have watched so many of the Bulls games, in the 90's via satellite tv. You had to have watched Jordan play an entire game to feel the magnitude of his presence on the court. It was unmatched. As good as this compilation video was, watching him play an entire game does more justice, to MJ. And, then to understand, he did that every single game. He was like watching a comic book super hero come to life. Just unreal.

Well that then prob carried into his adult career. So yea would say it shows more of how big Jordan was than anything. But he’s not the only one who did it!

When I see guys like him and Kobe who looked like just about every other NBA player body and size wise but their elegance to the game and flare they brought. Unmatched. The sheer will and work ethic to be the greatest is what makes them legends forever. I’m 38 so I got see MJ prime, Kobe prime, Lebron prime. IMO it’s MJ all day not even close 🐐. Lebron is 6’8 280lbs. With freakish ability he should be dominating the way he does but guys like MJ and Kobe had that instinct that can’t be taught that’s what separates them.

      Jordan came in as a rookie and said he had to work to be great. Lebron came in as a rookie with "The King" and "Chosen One" tats. Before the NBA Jordan had a coach that taught him that greatness requires work and the effort you put into that work. Before the NBA lebron had sponsors and handlers telling him he was the best ever before he even had stats in the NBA history books. But at least lebron got to play with his step dad early in his career

      The dude averaged 30+ ppg for his career in an era when scoring 20 ppg made you a star. His percentages from inside the arc were otherworldly for a guard. For a more modern perspective, Michael is like if you take Kobe, and make him 15-20% better stats-wise and with more winning intangibles. LeBron is good, but I think there's a pretty decent gap between him and Michael.

      And let's not forget, it got to the point where the league had to snub Jordan on various awards where he had better numbers than whoever won the award, because if the league didn't do that, then nobody else would have gotten fed much of anything. Jordan's D in statistical terms, was actually even better than his offense and the level he played offense at is the all-time best. Only Kobe can come even close to Jordan's all around offensive game (including being clutch and having the mental toughness not to flop and be a crybaby who skips games over minor injuries), and that's because Kobe modeled a lot of his game after Jordan, and Jordan mentored him on the mental aspects of the game.

He could do everything at an elite level. Everything he did was so smooth and fluid: every dribble, every drive, every dunk, every layup, every shot. It’s beautiful to watch. Kobe had that same fluidity. He imitated Jordan’s game and was a competitor just like him. But he wasn’t quite the same.

    So enjoyed the clips and your reaction. Watching your emotional journey was quite entertaining. And I respect you turning off the tape rather than have to lie.

    I've watched both of these player's careers, and for me it's MJ all day long. Don't get me wrong, Lebron is one of the best to have ever played, but MJ was transcendent. When Michael Jordan was on the court, you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was simply better than any other player. It didn't matter who he was facing, or if it was game 26 of the regular season or game 7 in a playoff series, Michael Jordan was the man every night, never took it easy in a single game. For those that weren't around to watch MJ, the only player since that had anything close to MJ's constant intensity on a nightly basis was Kobe Bryant.

      @Andre Davis For anyone in his position no matter what age. If your not averaging at least 20 points a game, your not going to survive in the NBA. 20 points a game is still good and he was still pulling off 40 point games some games too. For his age he was average and he really only wanted to join the wizards to help promote the team. He played the entire season for free.

    I’m a 52 years old guy. And, take it from me. Jordan was a beast-No-for real! This guy dunked on everyone no matter how tall you were. He came from the top of the key. That’s what you all need to see. Because, I don’t think that you all know exactly how much hang time MJ has. And, he elevates like a fucking bald Eagle. That’s what I use to call him. But, anyway, he’s one of a kind-in a class all by himself. No one comes even close to him in performance nor athleticism. No one!
