      @@von1626 yes they can… many players can have their own unique talents as well.
      but nevertheless, the debate is simply due to the two people being very close in talent; which I would still just take as a concession that lebron fans just want to at least elevate him to a “photo-finish” if he is nevertheless #2 all-time
      and I think that’s where Stephen A actually hit the nail on the head with that one - that being definitively all-time #2 is just a bitter-sweet SOB; though, he truly has soooo many accolades to fall-back-on, that legit he’s cool with it, especially because people can even delude themselves into beliving he could be #1.
      but ya, my opinion of the whole thing is that Jordan is all-time the face of basketball. He is the “babe ruth” (even though he’s WAY more epically famous and successful than babe ruth), and he just did it during a squeaky clean 90s where the control of tv media marketing was so much more potent; vs the weird era Lebron exists in, and this type of debate made possible through the internet, which he has been so guilty of completely feeding into the hype the whole time… I dno

      But that's only an illution. When you go beyond the numbers and simple watch the game and see who acompliahed more in less period of time... The asnwer is obvious. Lebron's career is soo impressive mostly because his longevity. If it wasn't for his longevity, if him and Mike both had 15 seasons, when you compare Jordan's 15 seasons and Lebron's 15 seasons, you understand how far Lebron James is from Jordan. Jordan in his 15 seasons had 6 championships, Lebron in his 15 seasons had half as many😭😭🤣, Jordan in his 15 seasons had 6 Finals MVPs, Lebron only had 3. Jordan had 5 MVPs, Lebron had 4. Now, only with these 3 segments Jordan is ON ANOTHER LEVEL FROM LBJ, and than when you add Jordan's 10 scoring titles compating to Lebron's 1, when you compare Jordan's 9 first defensive teams comparing to Lebron's 5, when you compare Jordan's 3 stealing titles to Lebron's 1 assist title... That gab is huge. So that's I'm talking about, now when you add Lebron's 20 seasons some people think they might've been close, but when you at the context... It's only an illution and Jordan is the clear GOAT of this sport.

Not only was he extremely gifted, but the guy was amazingly entertaining, even as a child growing up in a Knicks household. You despised him, but he was beyond great. I'm purple and gold forever, but to me, LeBron is a great player who has lasted longer. Even though Emmitt Smith is the all-time leading rusher, I don't think he was better than Barry Sanders. You can see the talent difference between the two, and that's how I view both Michael and LeBron.

      I'm gonna agree to that. I prefer the league when betting wasn't a thing, when the game was more physical minus the fights because I don't like seeing people fight and when it was more exciting. As much as I agree, I'm still picking LeBron HOWEVER I'M NOT gonna downplay MJ because he's the GOAT of the 90's. I respect both players because of what they brought to the table.

    Giannis mentioned Lebron personal life as well. He seems to have done a great job all around in life.

    This was one of the best and funniest first take segments in a LONG time. I cracked up so many different times throughout the segment and appreciated everyones contributions to it. Even Josh Boyd 😂
    SAS and Unc really are box office together

    The only thing Shannon said right that whole conversation is "My guy ain't the second man"
    You're right. Your guy the 3rd man at best. Possibly the 4th man.
