Larry Bird Hits Game Winner Over Michael Jordan: czcams.com/video/qm3SLnRSYyY/video.html
Larry didn't win NCAA championship and was essentially done after 9 years.
I like that you give Bird his credit. Shows you actually WATCH the game. My Mt. Rushmore is MJ, Wilt, Bird, Magic...and when people hear Bird...the looks I get are crazy.

Abdul won 6 NBA rings 4 highschool national champs and 3 National college champs prob could have won a 4th if freshman were allowed to play.
LeBron James can be the GOAT , BUT MICHAEL JORDAN IS THE GOD-MAN OF BASKETBALL, REMEMBER, A GOAT IS A KID .MICHAEL JORDAN IS WAY ABOVE THAT .
IS IT A COINCIDENT THAT AIR JORDAN IS ASSOCIATED WITH NIKE ??? IS NOT NIKE A GREEK GOD ? THINK ABOUT IT! NIKE =AIR-JORDEN = GOD-MAN OF BASKETBALL. NOW YOU GO FIGURE!
"He cant play defense and offense for 82 games..." Well jordan did.
FACTS
Basketball isn't 1sided. You got to play both. With the same energy. Otherwise you're just trying to increase your offensive stats. And that to me is only 50% of the game...
Jordan did! You never ever saw Jordan just sitting around during regular season letting players get by.
9 Times.
The last as a Wizard at age 39.
😂😂😂
Anyone who has actually SEEN Jordan play beyond highlight reels, knows the guy was on a completely different level. Both physically, mentally, and spiritually.
The hardest accomplishment was to retire for 18months then come back on a full season and 3peat again! No ones ever done that. And leave back on top again!
😂
I saw MJ play and yes he scored a lot of pts... But MJ also took a lot of shots to score those pts... MJ wasn't a team player he was a l'm going to get mine player... MJ was box office flashy & athletic but not a winner... MJ was labeled as a glorified scorer but couldn't win... Until Phil J, S Pippen, H Grant and the triangle offense was installed and S Pippen started controlling the offense setting up the plays... That's what I remember... All these other made up story trying make MJ look like a super hero... I don't remember... Because if MJ was the super hero ppl say he was why didn't he win anything in the 80s.
@@ruckruck5842 MJ didn't come back after 18 months and 3 peat... MJ came back and lost to the Shaq & Penny Magic... Then the Bulls went out and added Rodman... Now they had MJ, Pippen, Rodmam, Kukco, Harper plus the other supporting cast the only superteam of the 90s... So it wasn't hard to 3 peat... Name another team in the league in the 90s that had 3 to 4 HOF and all-star players and top 2 HC on 1 team in the 90s...So yes MJ & Bulls went 6-0 in the finals they had a clear advantage... Kinda like the Warriors when KD joined them... So was it really that impressive maybe to some ppl... But not to me... I like seeing fare fights not 4 against 1or 2 when U know what the outcome is going to be...
@@gregorylawrence9729 better that than a quitter, Jordan wills his team to win... that's why he's 2x 3-peat team on ONE team...
Him: This is so one sided!!
The rest of us: WE BEEN TRYING TO TELL YALL!
😂😂😂 facts
Lmmfaooooo. Straight facts tho! 😂
💯💀💀💀💀💯
But? But? But? LeBron Is Soooo...Waaaaaah!
Just stop...it's one sided bc Bron clears... Bron definitely is on another level physically, and then mentally, and spiritually...LeBron is the dynasty...and Bron clears on the eye test, even Skip Bayless admitted he's the better on court talent...4-6 isn’t a bad thing lol…u celebrate losing before the finals…being 4-0 isn’t better, this isn't boxing or MMA, if it was we undefeated…only top player with a winning record in terms of chips won to seasons played is Bill Russell…Bron is the greatest…MJ was a complete loser without Pippen and Phil, MJ winning a fake DPOY that should be Hakeem's while Bron deserved his, and shooting the most to get scoring titles in a shit era that even had to shorten the 3pt line means nothing...Bron also deserved more MVPs and faced better comp to win…he also played on a team that won 55 games and made a playoff run without him...Bron’s rings/accolades and stats are way more impressive and valuable bc of the way better era Bron competed in…he clears anyway...LeBron teams was the underdog in 7/10 finals and still did this in the best eras...Bron also has the most playoff wins and playoff series wins in history with a high winning percentage...he has more accomplishments and stats...he is the GOAT...and Bron has a great assist to turnover ratio and is top 4 all time in assists...he also passed MJ in scoring on less shots in both the playoffs and regular season...I rebutted u easy, bc this been known...LeBron wins in the finals>...half of those "losses" are bs bc he won his minutes by far

Here's another stat that wasn't mentioned in the video: Jordan never lost more than 2 games in a row for 8 straight years. I'm not suggesting the Bulls didn't lose more than 2 games but if Jordan was on the floor, which was most of the time since he played all 82 games multiple times, they never lost more than 2 games. That's statistically impossible but Jordan did it.
Also, let's remember that once Jordan started winning championships no one else got to eat. Like the video said, Jordan and the Bulls WERE the juggernaut team that everyone wanted to beat but couldn't. Meanwhile Dirk, Duncan, Giannis, Leonard and especially KD and Curry have all won chips on LeBron's watch.
The reality is that LeBron shouldn't be claiming himself to be the GOAT after winning his 3rd chip after 4 losses and one sweep. He's a great player yes, but not the GOAT. Not now, not ever.
Lebron is garbage No we're near A Goat Conversation 29:31
The league was better with Lebron, more dynasties this more of these teams to get through. You didn’t see dynasties back then, only MJ was on one. If anything that point goes more for Lebron being the goat.
MJ played in a weak league never faced a team with more than one HOF player never mind 3…or 4…. MJ played against plumbers
@@benl9775 Hard to create a dynasty when Jordan won everything lmfao. Of course there were no Dynasties in Jordans Era. Because he won everything. That MJ never faced a team like the Warriors is true. But he played in a thougher conference, while putting up battles against the majority of top50 NBA players.
So how does that point go to Lebron? If he played in the West he wouldnt even make it to the finals as often. And on top of that Lebron had a chance to create a Dynasty, a 3 peat etc and happend to be the worst player on the field when it mattered the most. No where near on Jordans level bro.
@@benl9775 Pistons had 3 HOFs???, Magic had 2 HOFs, Jazz had 2 HOFs and I can go on and on bro, you dont even know what youre talking about lmfao
Youre just some casual who has a hard time accepting that Jordan faced great competition. "Plumbers" thats how edgy 10 year olds talk
The closest NBA player to Jordan was The legendary Lakers Legend Kobe Bryant hands down
Hands down
Even Michael Jordan admitted it, Kobe will be his hardest player to beat cos he stole all his moves.
No shit, he imitated everything, and I mean everything Jordan did, lol. If u thought ur the best at what u do based on ur game, what would u think of the person that played exactly like u? Lol.
The only one who can beat me, is me. - Aomini Daiki --Hands down.
Straight facts. Jordan and Kobe are the 2 best to ever do it. Period.
The eye test for me hit home. I grew-up watching Jordan and I grew up watching James since the very beginning of his career. Jordan is definitely the GOAT. It was never a debate for me.
How the hell can you grow up watching Jordan and then still be growing up watching lebron bro yo ass already grown
@@jeszecantu4262 elementary-higshcool-college while watching the transitions
Wat u grew up watching mj nd u grew up watching James😂😂
💯 iykyk
Facts 💯 Not even worth starting the conversation
Great comparison video for sure. One topic I don't think they put enough emphasis on was the fact that Jordan played during an era where the game was extremely physical making his accomplishments that much more impressive and Lebron plays in an era where you can barely lay a finger on a player without them calling a foul.
Lebron would have gotten absolutely DESTROYED in Jordan's error. He's a cry baby, flop artist.
Right! If LeBron had ever played against the Bad Boy Pistons, they would have made his "flops" legit! :)
Yes but if he would have played then he wouldn't have played the way he does so it wouldn't be an issue right?
@@kennethmasters9329 yup..he will be too far on the GOAT debate, Kobe will be then and other better guys lol😂
No lies detected, that was an era where you would get clotheslined, elbowed in the face, and put on your back every time you drive for a basket.
This is the best analysis of the the Goat debate ever! The fact that MJ maintained the juggernaut that was the Bulls to win the first threepeat before he retired the first time and then came back to lead the Bulls to another threepeat is phenomenal and mind-blowing!!! That right there makes him the undisputed GOAT!! LBJ went to 8 straight Finals and couldn't string together a threepeat, only one back to back not forgetting he lost 6 Finals which cancels him from the Goat debate!! LBJ overtaking KAJ as the highest scorer in NBA history is no big deal, because he is a great player who has played for a very long time and it was expected of him to do so. I'd really like to hear Nick Wright respond to this video!! To answer Nick's question: MJ would be the first pick by the world to face the Aliens!! A movie has already been made about it already - Space Jam 1. LBJ tried to copy MJ (as he's tried to do all his life) with the second movie which flopped!!
Don't forget the part that LBJ never played on a team where all he had to do is score... And never played for a top 3 all time grt8 HC Like MJ did for those 6 chips... U MJ fans always bragging about what MJ did... Tell the ppl what MJ did b4 and after he got help & that top 3 HC... Then I'll be impressed
@gregorylawrence9729 He won the defensive player of the year award the same season he won mvp and the same season he won the scoring title. No other player in nba history has ever accomplished that. He also set the single game playoff point record of 63 points against the Boston celtice with 5 hall of fame player. While averaging 44ppg. And had larry bird call him God disguised as Michael jordan. He also won rookie of the year averaging more points then prime LeBron james and finished 3rd in ppg while in his ROOKIE year. He did all this before he won a single ring. Lebron james is in no way even close to Michael Jordan. Mj had 1 all star teammate throughout his entire career. Rodman averaged only 5ppg and was there for only 3 years. After mj first 3 peat and he retired Pippen took the lead. They had the same exact team that won a 3 peat minus Michael jordan and guess what they lost and when mj came back they won 3 chips IN A ROW for the second time
@@KamrenMCOC U just told a flat out lie H. Grant had left b4 the 1994 season... And tell the ppl did MJ win while scoring those 63 points against the Celtics or did he get swept... And the yr the league give MJ the DPOY... Olajuwon defensive numbers were Superior... The league also give MJ the dunk contest title in 1988 that was in Chicago... The Human Highlight outperformed MJ that yr he should have won the dunk contest... And also tell the ppl why MJ never won anything b4 or after Phil J. & S. Pippen... Now I like MJ but I can't stand liars and ppl that make stuff to fit their narrative🤔🤷🤦
@gregorylawrence9729 so what your saying is Horace grant and mj are the reason they 3 peated which is why when Horace left they couldn't win again. Mj didn't hop from team to team to get rings he waited and was patient and guess what the team that 3 peated basically all drafted by the bulls. Mj, pippen, Horace grant and a few other role players. Lebron needed a super team in Miami with 2 other multiple all Stars. Pippen wasn't an all star until 1990 averaging 16ppg. Mj never had to ring chase to prove how great he is year after year after year, year after year after year
@@KamrenMCOC MJ didn't leave the Bulls because they were the only superteam in the 90s... That's why MJ retired after Phil J. & S. Pippen left after the 98 season... The Grt8 MJ remember what it was like b4 Phil J. & S. Pippen joined the Bulls...
You can’t be the G.O.A.T if you’ve ever walked off the court with 5 minutes left while you’re team was losing. The best of all time would never quit .
EXACTLY...CLEVELAND WAS DOWN BY 12 OR MORE WITH 6 + MINUTES LEFT HE SAT DOWN AND GAVE UP,GAME 3 AND GAME 4 OF THE FINALS AGAINST GOLDEN STATE
See The Flu Game for the opposite.
JORDAN QUIT BASKETBALL 3 TIMES
@@bossmanjohnson8240 He reymtured 3 times, twice after winning championships, and one of those because his father had been murdered. He never quit when the team was down and the clock was ticking. He usually fought for the last shot, win or lose.
Well said it's the go hard 180 percent at everything
"I didn't know the difference between LeBron and Jordan was this much" --- The power of the media when they want to push a narrative, my friend
Funny you said that! The media is a tool used to push a narrative. This video proves LeBron isn't even close (statistically) when I saw this video I was even shocked to see how far apart they are, I honestly though LeBron's stats would be alot closer then they are. As I said in my comment, I guarantee Kobe and a few others rank higher then LeBron "statistically" this just proves that other players are more deserving to be in conversation than Lebron. But as u said the media is a powerful tool..
lmao, look at you
hell mj was ready for another season but the nba said no because think about how much revenue the other teams would lose just because every fan would be at jordan's games. then after he leaves fans wouldnt be as interested coming to games. so they had to take him down a notch and make him seem human by making him lose ha.
WOW!!!! YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!!!!! LEBRON MUST BE A "DEMORAT"!!!!!
facts yep
Bro, I'm from *New Zealand* and when *Mike* played, we watched.
When Mike retired we stopped
Nba is so borring now 😂😂😂
Same here..I'm from the Philippines...when Jordan stopped, i stopped watching too...
And this is the absolute "why" Jordan is in a class of his own. People tuned in to see Mike play. He transformed all aspects of basketball from Shoes to Card collecting. James is a top 15-20 in my opinion. I was a fan until his decision and the not 1 not 2 not 3 BS championships. Since then, I have waited for him to retire, hope he loses as much as possible and the NBA will be better when he is gone.
Same here from NZ , whole high school team would go round to the guys family with skysport 🎉
Sir you are the first LeBron fan to actually watch this with an open mind and truly accept facts. I’m 34, and I had the pleasure to experience Jordan’s career as a kid when he came back to the Bulls for his 2nd threepeat. Everyone where I grew up watched the Chicago Bulls and I joined my school basketball team inspired by him. LeBron is a phenomenal player and it will be a long time before we see another one like him, but Jordan is truly the GOAT. Hands down. If anything, Kobe comes close and can be in the conversation, at least
it would take a special kind of retard (nick) to keep arguing after watching something like this.
MJ is in a class all of his own.
Big facts
U IN THEM CORNER CLASSES OF UR OWN
F-A-C-T-S 👍👌✌️
🐦 the closest thing to MJ
@Mighty Fire I guess, but nobody really cares about longevity stats. Emmitt Smith is the all time leading rusher in the NFL, nobody thinks he's the GOAT running back. Kareem has been the all time leading scorer in the NBA, almost nobody calls him the GOAT. Its that way in all sports and its just the way it is.
"You can't play defense every game, every play..." why not? Jordan did.
I said the exact same thing
😂😂😂
Right Jordan played oth offense and defense
And the biggest sport fool on TV nick wright said that Jordan was never a better defender than Lebron and he was "barely" the 3rd best defender on his own team... and mofos say that Skip Bayless is out of his mind SMH 😂
Because everyone he played against was slower, shorter, less athletic them
Using these metrics, which I think are valid (great OP video) I think Magic is higher up on GOAT arguement than Lebron. They were roughly the same size, but Magic had superior handles, passing, shot percentages, and championships, IIRC. Let's also keep in mind that the NBA changed the rules to eliminate the physical play (hard fouls) that dominated the 80's.
1)Michael Jordan
2) Magic Johnson
3) Larry Bird
These are the 3 most dynamic, dream killing, clutch players I ever saw. Absolute artists in a league that was ready for a fist fight at any time. Youngins don't know lol
Id 100% argue Larry over both Magic and Lebron, and Larry played the same position as Lebron...
Love that you said, "where's Larry bird?". He doesn't get nearly enough credit for what he was to basketball.
Some additional things to consider...
7 of the top 10 players in Blocks per game and 8 of the top 10 in Total Blocks played their primes during Jordan's era. He was posterizing some of the greatest rim protectors that ever played. By comparison, there are no top 10 rim protectors in LeBron's era. This is actually quite telling in itself because LeBron gets the majority of his points at the rim with dunks and layups.
In regards to longevity and TOTAL stats, the players that are CURRENTLY #3 in Points, #1 in Assists, #1 in Steals, #1 in Blocks, #1 in FTA & FTM, played their entire careers against Jordan. He accomplished more than all of them COMBINED!
Also, MJ is 11-0 in championship play (1 NCAA title, 6 NBA titles, 4 gold medals). Whenever he made it to the final round, he walked away as the champ.
Sir, u did well 👏
I have to point out while this is a comparison to LBJ and MJ... MJ success is still apart of a team and Bill Russell still had more championships. Also Bill Russell said MJ wouldn't have stood a chance against Wilt. Can't be the GOaT if you can't beat Wilt one on one. All I'm saying stop Disrespecting Wilt.
@@elishan4 Basketball is a team game, so a player MUST have BOTH individual AND team success if they want to be in the GOAT debate.
With regards to Wilt, there was no disrespect for him in my original comment, but if would like to compare MJ vs Wilt, we can... I've debated with others regarding these two, and it never ends well for Wilt because he is the ORIGINAL stat padder. He willingly chose individual accolades and records over team success, and even he admits this in his autobiography. This is why his teams failed more often than not and why he went 2-4 in the Finals. He was known for chasing records, and while Wilt has some of the most ridiculous feats, he also has his fair share of shortcomings. He would put up monster numbers in the regular season, and then get outplayed by guys like Bill Russell and Willis Reed in the playoffs. Wilt is known as one of the greatest scorers ever, and yet, the ONLY time his team had success is when he wasn't the MAIN scorer. It's like Magic only winning rings when he DIDN'T lead his team in assists.
@@oacevedo81 everyone plays for records and stats. Look at early Mike vs Detroit. He was not dominant nor able to make it to the finals. LBJ made it to how many finals ina row. True his teams did not always do well in the finals but it was clear LBJ was the reason they were there. When he moved to the heat he got a chance to play team basketball. The Heat ownership had a commitment to winning . In Wilts case his owner was just happy to have Wilt which is why he left his original team. Same as LBJ. The comparison in both players LBJ and Wilt being stuck on organizations not committed to winning. To many other factors to consider when talking about team success being factored into the GOAT conversation which is why they should stop.
@@elishan4 The problem isn't playing for records or stats... The problem is when a player is willing to sacrifice team success in order for them to chase individual records and stats. Wilt's records often came at the expense of his team's success. As great of a scorer as Wilt was, he never won a ring while leading the league in scoring. Coincidentally, the FIRST time Wilt won a ring was the first year that he did NOT lead the league in scoring. Wilt wasn't even able to lead his own team in scoring when he won his rings - Jordan led the ENTIRE LEAGUE in scoring when he won his rings. The years that Wilt was winning scoring titles, his team had a 22-30 playoff record and only made the Finals 1 time where they lost to the Celtics 1-4. As for him not being on teams that were committed to winning, Wilt played with numerous HOFers like Gail Goodrich, Hal Greer, Nate Thurmond, Jerry West, Chet Walker, and Elgin Baylor. Wilt had ample help on his teams, but he wasn't able to capitalize and convert all his amazing numbers into team success.
LeBum couldn’t even win in 2016 without getting saved by Adam Silver
Curry fouled out of 2 games the entire year. Fouled out in 2 games in a best of 7 in the finals. That finals was rigged as all hell.
You can't explain his brilliance and dominance. Those who lived to see it know why the GOAT debate isn't a debate
Whoever put this analysis together is a genius! Wow, so in-depth!!
In Jordan's rookie year, after a game, Larry Bird said "that's not Michael Jordan. That's God disguised as Michael Jordan" those are Larry Legends words about the rookie
It was actually after game 2 of the playoffs in Jordan’s second year. He scored 63 points that night (still the playoff scoring record). He missed like 62 games of the regular season and came back a few weeks before the playoffs. Oh, he also scored 49 pts in game 1 of that series
Larry would talk that trash 2 holmes
@@kevinwheesysouthward9295 The organization had 2 keep him off the court. Dude wanted 2 win
LeBron James did the same thing
His rookie seasons
Jordan had to retire twice for 5 years total, just to let anyone into the conversation. 5 productive seasons that all would have been title-contending seasons. Twice retired with the league's best team. Let that sink in.
He’s miles away from anybody who could be 2nd
Over total 10k points 2500+ assists/rebounds and 1000+ steals and his fg% would’ve been OVER 50% another mvp or two since we all saw if he didn’t get injured in Washington his first year he was going to win mvp
@@mannyneva1760 yes sir
Absolutely agree
@@MarcTheSparcTV agreed. That 19 for 94 stat on late game situations by lebron is eye opening
Your closing narration gave me chills bruh.. It’s true, all of the greats in the other sports are considered the Micheal Jordan of their Sport
Yeah I never get tired of watching this break down. And feel bad for anyone that tries to compare any player to the Goat. Just setting themselves up to be let down. Good job
It just confirms what I could tell just by the eye test. I think most of us who watched both know how ridiculous this comparison is.
Yeah but i still didn’t know the hall was THAT big
You can go look it up .. Jordans avg FG assist rebound go higher in playoff and higher in the finals and even higher in the finals on fourth quarter.. his game elevated when it is more important. That doesn't apply to most other players
And I doubt LeBron would be as dominant if he played back in the 80s&90s Rodman would destroy him
that’s how we know this new generation that grew up watching only LBJ is the one who needed to invoke this useless debate like there was something to discuss
U just RIDICULOUS buddy bud
The "longevity" argument here is still skewed being that Bron came straight from high school graduation to the league while Jordan was a player out of North Carolina.
And Jordan got beat on daily.. LeBron doesn't get fouled lol
Also as the video touch on, games per season is huge. The amount of times Jordan played 80, 82 games in a season is crazy. Pretty sure he has the most. The longevity stat in favour of Lebron is massively flawed here.
Ask yourselves this... When the game is on the line and your lives are at stakes, who would you want to shoot the ball's last shot?
Be honest please...
Subtract 4 years and take 10% off the top then 😂 tomato/tomato
LeBron James wasn't that great. If he was, the teams he played for would of kept him.
Great reaction! People who did not grow up in the MJ world have no clue. He is the greatest,not just basketball, but he was inspiration to a generation. If I ever said something was too hard, I would get the same response "they told Michael he wasn't good enough, and look at him now". MJ was a symbol of greatness that isn't really around any more. M J isn't going to sit out or act hurt just to push his stats like james.
I've watched a few reactions to this: this is by far my favourite, you cracked me up a few times 😂 subbed!
There’s never been a “debate” for those of us who saw Both players in real time.
It’s not close. Never has been. That’s just the media needing something to talk about.
LeBron got exposed by Jason Terry of all ppl.
Jordan’s playoff win/Loss record speaks for itself. And he didn’t have to change teams repeatedly to do it.
IMAGINE
if Jordan didnt retire. they win 8 in a row
and a sophomore kawhi
That's exactly what I've been saying. People /fans who have watched both these guys play knows it's not even close as to who's the GOAT. LeBron can play for the next 20 years and still won't come close to Jordan.
Facts
And those that saw both players in real time also saw some top shelf basketball.
When Jordan and the Bulls figured out how to win, it was a wrap for the league. When he retired the first time after the 93 season, the rest of the NBA said "He's gone. This is our chance". Houston took advantage of his absence. When MJ had an off-season to get back into basketball shape, and after losing the way they did to Orlando in 95, he wanted revenge. 72-10 with a ring is what occurred. Then 2 more rings after that to claim his title as the goat.
This Comment Belongs On Mount Rushmore
I believe the 72-10 with a ring chased Shaq out of the east. Shaq knew the Bulls would own the east for as long as Jordan wanted.
boom 🤯
SHAQ TOOK HIM OUT
@@edmondlau511 Shaq recently admitted as much while also admitting that he feared Jordan. Shaq wanted no part of Jordan during and it showed. In fact, Shaq was swept out of the playoffs when Jordan returned in ‘96 and didn’t win a title until the Bulls version of MJ was gone.
“That was a masterpiece.” That’s the best description of it. It might be one of the greatest CZcams breakdowns in the history of the internet, and for good reason.
I agree. The only thing not mentioned here is the number of All-Star appearances LeBron's teammates have made compared to those of Jordan. Jordan never stacked his teams by picking players, LeBron has.
You said he can't play defense all 82 games while doing everything else? First, he's never played 80 plus games a season more than twice. Second, why can't he do it? MJ did it all 82 games plus the 10-15 playoff games year after year. MJ went 100% in every facet of the game every game while playing an avg of 38.25 minutes per game.
The media manipulated ppl into comparing Lebron to Jordan and in real life he never surpassed Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul Jabar, Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan
Thank you. I believe he has paid plants in the media because a lot of these celebrities know how much the media shaped people's opinion.
That's why people need to read for themselves. Been a fan since Bull's expansion draft in 67.
Underrated comment 👏
I don’t think LeBron even passed Bird. Bird did more in his 11.5 seasons than LeBron did in his 18 seasons. If you compare Bird and LeBron using those 5 criterias for greatest SFs I bet Bird stands above. LeBron was stronger, faster and had longer career, but just like Jordan, Bird had better accomplishments, winning, stats, and eye test than LeBron. Bird had the toughest competitor in Magic’s Lakers. Otherwise Bird would surely have a lot more rings. Next to Jordan, Bird was the second best clutch shooter ever. And he was one of the toughest and smartest players ever. For those of you who actually watched Bird play and know a lot about him, you know what I mean.
@@timmyg831 how did bird accomplish more than bird lol and winning 0r stats you don't know its ok
I've said it before and ill say it again. When lebron says hes the greatest of all time, he looks down at the floor, because he knows it isnt true
One of my patient was a former NBA player, who played against Michael Jordan in the early 90's. I asked him what would you remember about playing against him and he straight up told me,....man that dude was really really strong and it was impossible to contain him. His forearm was something else.
That's cool. Micheal has explained hand check and how u could literally steer people with that hand check. I miss the hand check tbh. They Made it was to easy to crossover and score with out thr hand check
Which player was it?
@@glen7137They can't tell you that because that would be a breach of ethics.
The worst thing you can say about Jordan was that he was an OK baseball player....
Jordan broke the game for me.. growing up watching the GOAT in his prime, i thought this was normal, then he retired, i tried watching post airness, it was just... wasn't the same.
I swear it wasn't
you sir ARE CORRECT shortly after jordan was gone i quit watching the game it was just boring to watch. i tried to get into the game but it was just bleh....
@@dvvaughn564 yeah, Kobe almost filled that void for me but it just wasn't enough.
Then the physicality of the game dropped and went to 3 point shooters dominating the game, don't get me wrong they're great teams but the adrenalin rush watching shooters just don't cut it for me..
no wonder LBJ dominates the post
@@iskuter even kobe was boring the beginning of hand off the ball and pick while kobe shoots the mid range jump shot it got old quick.
was constant kobe would run to the ball handler he hands the ball off and picks while kobe shoots. at least 5 times a game.....
ughhhhhh... srsly 6 months into the next year after jordan 2nd retirement i quit watching.
bulls broke up nothing exciting happening was blah.
@@dvvaughn564 yeah, it wasn't the same
When Lebron said "That's what made me the greatest player of all time". Prevented him from ever being considered the GOAT.
No that don't. Why the hell do u think that's always going to be a debate. Same reason why mj fans always troll lebron.

@@benjamink7105 case close for me too. I got LBJ . Now what lol
I made 91 of 100 free throws…not in my mind or driveway games…but in games..don’t tell me he can’t. If we didn’t make 75 percent of our free throws in a game, regardless of our schedule, we’d run 100+ sprints the next day, so come on now.
Here are the opponents, who were also all-stars and perennial competitors Jordan played against.
You see most here that are always looking to contest that Lerum is better or played against better or tougher competition, didn't watch 90's basketball.

There are many more names that Jordan played against who were exposed to his work ethics.
During Jordan's reign he didn't flop, he didn't melt down, he didn't flee, he didn't make excuses, he didn't defer, he didn't fake injuries, he didn't have players signed and then traded, he didn't miss layups, he didn't have his shot blocked by bums, he didn't get dunked on by bums...
Now why are we talking about Lerun in comparison to Jordan again?
The only thing you need to know about Lebron in a GOAT conversation: He got outplayed by Jason Terry in the Finals while guarding each other. Jason Terry......
Lmaoo
And JJ barea 😫😩😩😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅
Imagine a prime relentless MJ! As he said, he will separate himself from the competition
czcams.com/video/V-QTiByTKaI/video.html
Another stat that sums it all up: MJ went 6 for 6 in the NBA Finals w/ 6 Finals MVP’s (& never let it go to a game 7). By contrast, Lebron has lost 6 NBA Finals 🤷♂️
Feel happy I never mentioned how lebron james in the past few years has been known for leaving his teammates high and dry with 2 to 5 minutes left the game, the real G.O.A.T NEVER did that crap
Dude, great video, loved your reaction, I’m not really even a big basketball fan, but this was very entertaining. Great job.
Best argument-"Jordan never faced any juggernaut in the playoffs!" Bc Jordan's Bulls WERE the Juggernaut! So what's good, beating the Juggernaut once as the underdog? Or being the Juggernaut favored 6X?
Let me say this: I was born in Poland in 1985 and no matter when and to whom Michael Jordan is compared, the answer is simple! To anyone, he's out of this world... If you asked me who you wanted to be during my entire high school years, I'm sure MJ was the best basketball player in the world. Times play a big role! Everyone wanted to see him when he played on the field ... Hovering in the air, tongue drawn in, dunks and the most unbelievable chews and one of the most iconic feints during the match against Juta Jazz
NBA commissioner David Stern once called MJ "the standard by which basketball excellence is measured ", Perfectly explaining how great MJ was. The GOAT without a single doubt. No argument will ever stand up to the facts.
Excellent reaction and ending Synopsis!!! Well done! You deserve the 600K plus views😊
Great job, Marc. Thanks for a fun video.
They didn't have advanced stats when Jordan was playing too. For him to be 1st in all of them tells you a lot.
Out of all the reaction channels if have watched, that have reacted to this video, you are the first one to say that getting to the top is easy, it’s harder to stay at the top. You sir are 100 percent correct.
You learned today. M.J is in a class alone. Nobody before or after has been a great, and Kobe would be the closest thing to him, Kobe aligned his game after Mike and was mentored by the goat throughout his career
Anytime someone says LeBron is better than Jordan I'll send them this lmfao
Lebron the self-proclaimed GOAT and his fans,would hate to see this video, they would say that this video is made by a Jordan fan
😅right… even though it’s just pure facts
Even if the dude was the biggest Jordan fan on the planet he has the stats, analytics, and data to back up his claims. Unless they have their own proof to either refute his points or stats to bolster Lebrons they can say "Jordansexual" all they want. Ain't changing the facts.
@@tmoney360 yep
they HAVE seen the vid and still say lebron is the G(L)OAT… like they suddenly don’t believe in stats…
that's why lebron fans always bring up some goofy ass stat that nobody cares about. "he's been to finals waaaaay more"....yah lebron is the goat..goat of the "every kid get's a trophy" era
Never understood why there was a debate in the first place. I get pissed when anyone is compared to MJ and I just won’t argue with anyone about who’s the GOAT. It’s not even close across the board. Lebron is arguably the second greatest of all time but when you add context…..🥴, Lebron barely makes top 5.
Right! It’s blasphemy
The debate started Bc the nba was desperate to get fans back and invested. Nothing more nothing less. Plus there is leaks coming out that lebron pays tv talk show people to make the claim for him as the best.
My son did a project on LBJ being the best. Not my proudest moment smh 😪
Could name 10 players better than Lebron. MJ, Bird, Magic, Wilt, Kareem, Timmy, Steph, Kobe, Russel and I can argue Isiah Thomas. Then would you take Lebron over Pistol Pete or Hakeem the Dream?
Me neither bro. Especially when u actually watched the games. Sometimes stats don't tell the full story. MJ,Kobe, Ai, etc. Didn't care about stats they cared about winning. Either 1 could score 80 points & still walk off the court pissed. I seen Lebron the other night score 50 but they lost & he still walked off the court smiling smh 🤦🏾♂️These new guys are intentionally stat padding. The dog alone takes Lebron out of the goat argument, I've seen him pass multiple times when it was time 2 seal the deal. In reality Kyrie hitting thay shot in 3 saved him, & Ray Allen hit that big shot in Miami. When I seen Lebron not take the opportunity to shot & passed it to Eric Snow, I knew he could never be the goat. I despised Eric Snow when I was a kid kuz I was a super Iverson fan & he would always miss the easiest shots smh
Michael Jordan is the only athlete in which his name is used as an adjective!
He's the 🐐
This was an amazing video. The only thing i thought i the end was "What a great video"
My guy, Jordan was one of the best passers of all-time. This man played against Magic Johnson in the finals and literally averaged the most assist per game the finals by any player not named to Magic Johnson in that series.
Jordan is the type of nigga to listen to dumbasses calling him a bad passer then break passing records just to spite you.
Just like when they said he couldn't shoot 3s and then drained 8 or 9 on the Blazers!
@@tduniven77 the man set a then finals record of 6 3s in the first half of the finals leading to the now famous "shrug" just to prove a point, that's how cold MJ was
@@tduniven77 One game.
an ultra competitive guy who worked out maniacally shot 32% ish but somehow we just assume he would score 45% if he played today.
maybe 32% is where he'd be. MAybe he'd be stubborn and still take 2s. that means he'd need even more shots than HArden did in houston to match his 36.
dumb folks have no idea that there are a limited number of shots a person can take.
Kobe got 60 in his last game ( an amazing feat ) but also took 50 shots or something.
I started watching the NBA in 1992 when Jordan first won. I’ve seen everything since. As amazing as LeBron is, he doesn’t come close to Jordan. I’m a Laker fan. And frankly, I think Kobe was better than LeBron. But Jordan is King as much as I HATE that. FACTS
I agree Kobe was more intense, more fight , and better at moves than LBJ and Kobe still has more Championship then LBJ
U know because you have seen them both play, I was in 10th grade in 92. Jordan was better ... Kobe is better than Lebron
You speaking Facts
Kobe my favorite player ever but how is he better than LeBron?
@@Slapshot544 5 champion rings out of 7 appearances and with one team. Kobe's killer instinct, intensity, and wanting the ball when the game is on the line. Didn't recruit other super stars to win. Plus he won with and without Shaq
The fact anyone even considers arguing Lebron being better than Mike is laughable. Its not even close to being not even close. Without even looking at stats, just seeing both of them play is enough to know its a joke.
Second time I watch that in this year what a feed what watch you the man bro thanks for the insight 😊🎉
Jordan had that EXTRA thing that all greats have, the extra 10% as some elite level athletes call it. Jordan had clutch and nerves of steel, but mostly (and this is the most important) a psychotic level of competitiveness that also elevated his team mates.
Yessir
This was never an argument. Because the conversations have all started like this:
Who is the next Michael Jordan ? (Kobe)
Who is the Michael Jordan of this basketball era ? (Lebron)
Who is the Michael Jordan of wresting ? (Hogan)
Who is the Michael Jordan of soccer ? (Messi)
If he had any more recognition, the name Jordan would be a verb synonymous with domination.
EXACTLY!!!
Hey it's Football not Soccer get it right lol
the michael jordan of football(soccer) is pele. not messi. pele had no weaknesses like mj and won the most. in brazil mj is the pele of basketball. noone is called the "messi of anything."
Jordan of football - Tom Brady lol. MJ is the goat of goats
NUFF SAID!!!
26:35 when I was younger my dad said exactly this. He said, “there job is to shoot. That’s the thing they spend several hours on on a daily basis and you have guys shooting 60% from the free throw line? That’s virtually impossible”. He pointed to that as to why he felt like games were rigged.
Someone said if you practice something 10,000 hours you should be able to perfect it. Expecting anyone to never miss is just unrealistic but for every single NBA player to shoot a bare minimum of 80% from the foul line (ESPECIALLY with the emphasis on 3 point shooting today) it does seem almost impossible to have players who have been doing this for a living or spending as much time on it as they do sleeping on a day to day basis for over a decade to near two and a half decades shouldn’t be much to ask.
I got to say this I'm 40yrs I grew up watching Jordan play but the thing people forget he played against all time greatest players ever that are in the hall of fame and beat them with team work and skill James thinks it's only him that win games one on one in both their prime Jordan all day just watch MJ's moves and his ball control.!!!!+
That was a MASTER piece! And I got the privilege to see 23 in his prime and dominate. Forever the 🐐
I got to see him play the warriors twice growing up in the Bay Area. Amazing.
I got to see him as a freshman in college when the Tarheels defeated Georgetown and Patrick Ewing. But all everyone remembers about that game was MJ hitting the winning shot. However nobody talks about how Eric Sleepy Floyd had gave MJ James Worthy and the rest of the Tarheels hell all game. I watched MJ from the start of his NBA career to the end. I saw those early year when he was a one man show but couldn't make the playoffs. I watched MJ stand in awe as Dr.J came flying in for a dunk while MJ stood under the rim looking up in amazement and Philadelphia was torching the Bulls. I saw MJ angry and frustrated everytime Isaiah Thomas came to Chicago which was his hometown and Isaiah would give his hometown fans the show they wanted as Detroit pounded Chicago. I watched MJ drop 63 points on Boston and Larry Bird and still lost. I watched MJ play Milwaukee and Paul Pressey who gave MJ the business on both ends of the court as he held MJ to his lowest scoring game ever at that time. I watched Penny Hardaway come in as a rookie in 1994 and give MJ the business until Phil Jackson said Scotty Pipen you check Penny. Penny Hardaway was on the same level as Jordan in his rookie year. Had it not been for injuries Penny Hardaway would have taken over the league just as MJ did but faster. His rookie year He lead Orlando to the finals. Yeah he had Shaq but Penny dominated everyone and that includes MJ. Everytime Penny played against MJ it was a highlighted night and as a first and second year player Penny Hardaway was a true stud on the court and was one of the few players MJ couldn't stop. I have more stories but y'all only talk about MJ and his winning era. I'm so grateful I was there from the start of his career to the end. Call MJ the Goat all you want but I beg to differ
Jordan sometimes used to hit his free throws with his eyes closed LITERALLY lol that is pure perfection
I only know of once, and he was talking trash to Dikembe Mutombo when he did it.
Larry played 3 quarters just with the left hand, because he needed a challenge. And MJ never won a championship as long as Bird was active. So, everybody talking about MJ/LeBron, but nobody about the man, that made a whole team look better and had the highest basketball IQ ever.
@@KzS_Guenther_Luetjens This is such a bad argument with very little thought put into it.
Bird played with 3 HOF’s during that time
MJ played with… Oakley, on one of the worst teams in the NBA. There’s a bloody reason why they didn’t beat the Celtics ffs.
@@Somethingwittyxs4ku
Nah he done that 2 other times as well besides that Mutombo one.
@@KzS_Guenther_Luetjens
MJ did WIN when Larry was active as he retired in 92 👀
Tho Larry is The Clutchest of All time and probably the greatest shooter as well while arguably being the toughest.
i love it! thank you boss for this vid!
You said he picks his spots but don't forget mj1 Defensive Player of the Year as well as led the league in points at the same time and then go check out who was on the Bulls team. The next leading scorer at 11 points per game in 1988 when it happened
I thought the same thing as you did after I watched this presentation = Lebron is a great player but the "GOAT" talk needs to stop. This video goes into great depth and was very well done. No disrespect toward Lebron but longevity alone is not the only measuring stick. There have been so many great players = you could probably come up with a "Mount Rushmore" for each of the 5 positions and still leave out great players!!

MJ was life. To say that he’s my GOAT is an understatement. My dad let me skip school to see a day game and I had the flu. I refused to stay home and threw up 4 times in the parking lot on the way into the stadium. He scored 50. He’s THE goat.

LeFlop beat the Warriors, the best team in the league of his era, Jordan and thr Bulls were the Warriors of their day. They would have 3 peat against LeFlop 3x in a row. Jordan played full court, he was the type that didn't have an off button and went 100% on forgettable regular season games into double overtime to claw away the win. Also, Jordan played NCAA which shortened his longevity, not to mention his break to play baseball and then his first retirement. Jordan is a GOAT among GOATS, his era had so many strong teams and great players and Jordan powered past all of them.
the one thing they dont wanna point MIKE DID IT WITH ONE TEAM, WHILE lebron did with 3teams in 18season GAME OVER
The funniest thing to me: those first few clips tell the whole story. Every drive to the basket MJ made the defender was with him the whole time. Help defenders would switch over and try to stop him. And yet he still made it.
When LeBron drives to the hoop in his clips- no defense.
You see nobody on Bron cuz most were cuts to the basket or breakaway. You see help defense come late for Jordan because of the "illegal defense" rule which made it easier to drive to the basket for players like Jordan without having to worry too much about help defense. Look it up. Illegal defense is no longer a rule but it was in Jordan's era.
that's the way the league is officiated today vs then. to let guys run to the basket and score to ignite the crowd and sell tickets. all these alley-oops and cuts they do today wouldn't work in an era where guys were allowed to play defense INSIDE the paint.
@@dekristopherpalmer5522 hand checking made it easier to stay with your defender though. Which is why it was a less points scoring Era. So that's a flawed argument by you.

@@dekristopherpalmer5522 thank you. Getting fouls and easy shots was so much easier in the illegal defense era

When it was mentioned that lebron didn't play as many 80 game seasons or 82 game seasons and he said different era different league he didn't even realize that he was actually speaking in Jordan's favor because Jordan had a much tougher league to play in physically yet he did it more often
This new generation needs to understand that Jordan didn't sleep and practiced harder then he did in a regular game
it's funny how folks try to make true everything the media says. For us who watched most of these guys play, LBJ doesn't come up in the GOAT conversation, he can't beat Kobe Bryant on the ladder so how is he up there with MJ, please y'all should stop this nonsense.

Bird (Way too clutch to be demoted)
Magic (The leader of Showtime has to stay)
Kobe (Closest to Jordan we're going to get for a long time, so no)

@@Fermion. Bron is literally better than everyone you named lmao except for Jordan. Literally no argument for Kobe being better than Bron and I love Kobe but Bron is just better. Bron aint clutch? Bro I can so many games off the top of my head where he came up clutch in the playoffs fym(game 6 against boston in 2012, game 6 in 2013 against the spurs, last three games in the 2016 finals to name a few). How can Bird be better than Bron when Bird was never an elite defender like Bron was in his prime. Bird wasn't even the best player on his team for his 1981 title run Maxwell got the mvp Bron was the clear cut best player for all of his title runs(faced better competition too).
Yes, they both can dunk, James does it with no one around him everyone is standing back watching! Jordan does with 2, 3,4 people trying to stop him! BIG DIFFERENCE. Jordan probably would have 8 rings if he didn't leave for 2 years due to his dad's murder! Also that would have given him 2 more mvp titles! Not 1 sided, just the truth! FACTS don't take sides!

No one could out run Jordan. I believe in college or his draft he ran a 4.3. I'm sure someone could, but they couldn't play like Mr Jordan
