What are your thoughts on LeBron's comments about respect?
That he’s a victim and thinks no one respects him
The he deserves respect because of how he plays and what he does for his team. People may not like how he plays and wish he played a certain way, but he plays for his team and himself the best way he can.
Respect is earned. Not given or demanded. "Those who demand respect rarely deserve it". Lt. General Chesty Puller USMC
@@joshfincham8678 absolutely!
I can not blame Lebron James one bit. Skip Bayless, Rob Parker, Kenny Smith have ALL criticized King James just this season. When, just this season, he returned from an injury that ended his season. Then had The Lakers in 1st place with the best record in The West, led the league in assists, completely made AD into an "available" BEAST and this was BEFORE this Covid thing. THEN after being inactive for months and having to play in a bubble, without his family which he has said often is his backbone, he led The Lakers to A Championship. With no home court, which they earned, dealing with 2020 period. Lebron James is The GOAT.
Seeing Kobe congratulate Dwight on getting his ring in LA would have been so great.
word
Frfr
Kobe is venom and became corrosive to star players in his later years. Its why Dwight left , turn down 90 million and came back to LA for LeBron for peanuts and won a championship. Everyone praising kobe when he's dead, but nobody wanted to play with him in his later years. He took 30 million a year and trash his young teammates and made them sit on the floor. He would have seen Dwight win a ring with LeBron and not him.
Jerome Howard lmao it’s not like Kobe demanded 30 million, he was offered it first. Now please tell me if you in that situation would say oh no please I’ll take less. It’d be a different story now if Kobe was offered lower and demanded 30 but that wasn’t the case.
Jerome Howard only venom Mamba ever had was hitting clutch shots and dropping 50 regularly
Love that Dwight Howard got a shout out at the end. He went from NBA royalty to the cellar over a 10 year period. He put his ego aside and did whatever the Lakers asked him to do to contribute for a championship very happy for him
@steven richter you're corny my guy. Congrats to Dwight tho he deserved this one
If you told me LeBron was the 🐐 I wouldn't disagree
If you told me Jordan was the 🐐 I wouldn't disagree
wow nick, perfectly defended lebron, brother
Nick Literally nailed what leBron meant.
He doesn’t care of daily haters like Skip Bayless.
He cares of the random nba watchers that put Jordan as the only possible Goat and doesn’t take him in consideration.
For me they are both Goats, different situations, different era.
I've been preaching this for years. It's impossible to name 1 goat because of the different eras, plays styles, the teams, evolution of the game. I feel like we should appreciate greatness but Skip Bayless and the trolls he loves to feed refuse to let people enjoy greatness because they're miserable pathetic people who need to make others feel bad to make themselves feel better.
Facts
He actually said the complete opposite
Jordan was a superior player, period. If you compare points/rebs/assists you can debate its a toss up.... if you compare defense its not even close
You see, you are the clear example of what I meant.
There’s no space of comparison for people like you. You just say “Jordan it’s better, period”.
Lebron is a beast also defensively, lost the defensive player of the year for just a vote to Marc Gasol, but keep living in the dreams.
Kyrie will never win again. Yeah, I said it.
Idk that Nets squad has a ton of talent and put KD on that team in the East? It’s almost a guaranteed trip to the Finals. KD, Kyrie, Caris Levert, Spencer Dinwiddie, Deandre Jordan, Jarrett Allen, Joe Harris, Jamaal Crawford? That team is deep.
Lmfao
Nick Seul The Nets need another big man. They have no wall for Bron and AD, and you don’t want KD doing too much to make up for that.
They won’t be able to consistently guard anybody.
Nick Seul they have a bunch of talent no doubt, but somebody like Spencer is gonna have to be the leader. I doubt Kyrie and Kevin’s egos will allow that and neither one of them are true leaders. I don’t think that Nets team will have the mental constitution to win a chip.
5:58 don’t disrespect Dwight Howard by not mentioning that dude single handily took the Orlando Magic in 09 to Finals against the great Kobe and the Lakers. He had to beat Lebron to get there! Give the man his props he put in that work too in these playoffs.
he saying dwight has done nothing after 2012 and lebron took him to the finals
I mean, true, but let's be real here he hasn't done anything in a long time.
He beat lebron and mo williams.
not quite single handedly...that team was stacked with size and shooting. Hedo was their PG at 6'10". don't forget Rashard Lewis shooting over everyone on the wing. jameer nelson was no scrub either. to cap it all off, they had another skilled 7 footer coming off the bench with Gortat. that team was legit
@Cool Breeze single handledly? what about hedo and rashard, even jameer nelson was good back theb
This is Christmas morning for Nick Wright!
Nick's fed up with Yankee fans woofing it up with no rings* on the roster too!
*Aroldis Chapman's got his!
I love it when Nick gives it to them and the reason I loved his LeBron arguments since day 1 is because he backs everything up with facts and doesn't make arguments based on nostalgia like most of MJ fans. Those arguments about him not being considered as one of the best scorers and clutch players are straight fire and are absolutely based on pure facts !
Not all the time lol but nick is a good talk show guy
Preachhhhh Nick!!!!!! Thankyou for exposing these LeBron haters - nick/Bron are best media/player duo in the game 😅
Ay don’t forget uncle shay shay
Hate when people say "Lebron never won without having Hall of Fame or All-star teammates", who has? Maybe three teams in the history of basketball
LeBron gets a lot of hate for being 4-6 in the Finals, but let's go back and take a look at them.
2007: 22 year old LeBron lost to the prime Spurs
2011: totally on LeBron...his only blemish, albeit a big one. no excuse for that.
2014: Wade averaged 15, Bosh 14, LeBron 28. People remember Wade as being great, but not in 2014 (or 2013 for that matter). And Bosh was a complete no show.
2015: no Kyrie or Love, but still carried the team to 2 wins against an all-time great Warriors team.
2017: averaged 34, 12, 10 - 56% FG%, 39% 3PT%. Dude balled out...unfair superteam bc of salary cap spike with KD joining
2018: averaged 34, 9, 10 - 53% FG%, 33% 3PT%. Again against the KD Warriors, but this time without Kyrie
LeBron has consistently balled out in the Finals. It's fair to say he choked away 2011, but those other losses are not bad losses. At least 3 of them would have been the greatest upset of all-time (2007, 2015, 2018, and maybe 2017 too) had he won.
Well said!
Crazy when he choked LeBron still averaged more points in 2011 than both Bosh and Wade in 2014 yet they get no blame/criticism and say it was LeBron's fault they lost lol
it's not about being #1. Nick hit it right on the head...it's about the fact that people keep saying that he's not a great scorer and that he's not clutch. they ignore the facts. it's okay if you say MJ is better, but don't disrespect LeBron by spewing lies to make the case for MJ. let MJ's case make itself
Well said.
100 percent directed at Skip "the clown" Bayless
LeGoat James
Bronny about to get the LeBelt xD
@Brady Bryant goats make 10 finals
@Brady Bryant goats don't only go to the finals 6 times. Lebron is superior then me
Brady Bryant Goats don’t get swept in the first round on the regular
@Brady Bryant it doesn't matter how much he loses
Michael Jordan in 4th quarter in the nba finals games shot 79% from the free throw line to brons 81% 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
We are witnessing the greatest to ever do it up to this point.
Arguably!
Consider this:
It's the NBA Finals and your team has made it there. Both teams are evenly matched and you could pick one player that the opposing team CANNOT have, which one would it be? There are loads of great players we could name, but for me the answer is Michael Jordan! As a fan, I wouldn't want my team to have to face him.
@Brady Bryant True dat!!...you can't lose 6 'chips, only win 4, choke in one of those, and be called the greatest...ijs✌
jakkeday1 yeah but you’ll also need a hall of fame coach if you pick mj lbj can take any coach & build chemistry with anybody you put him around without ego
Vanexel23 yeah but mj Choked in the first round 84-85 season 3-0 to the Bucks
85-86 season 3-0 to the Celtics
86-87 season 3-0 to the Celtics
1988, choked in six games in the conference finals in 1989 choked after holding a 2-1 lead but ya act like this never happen
@@jakkeday1 I get the MJ argument, but I can't stop thinking that today's NBA is ridiculously more demanding, and MJ can't compete with LeBron athletically and that MJ always needed a team supporting him, when Lebron could won with a bunch of scrubs
I’ll never understand all the lebron hater I really won’t
They just hate him just to hate him he’s easily a top 3 player of all time but people feel the need to bring up MJ to tear down Lebron
Agreed! Like the argument that MJ is 6-0 in the finals. MJ played 16 yrs. What about the other 10 years that he lost?? Bron has 4 rings and has played in 10 finals!
@@jeffsullivan4150 And lost 6 finals. Btw Jordan was being gate kept in the east by the Celtics and Pistons dynasties all while playing next to 0 all Stars. That's what happened.
@@jeffsullivan4150 Jordan played 12 years if unless u count Washington.
@@jasonspades7775 LOL! No Jordan only played 6 yrs and went to the finals 6 straight yrs and won them all!
Of course you count the Wizard's! Come on bruh!
@@jessehernandez1061 nah, mike just choked before he got to the finals. I watched Orlando beat the breaks off of MJ in the playoffs. That actually happened.
when you hate a person no mater how he great and strong the haters came up to their mind to grab him to the bottom. lbj is already passed micheal.
Lebron heard all the chirp after game 5; That’s what the “I want my damm respect” comment was directed towards.
LeBron haters are so mad today like honestly we don't care how you feel keep crying about it
LBJ went to 8 straight finals. Got hurt and missed the playoffs for the for the first time in 14 straight years. Came back and picked up where he left off. King James is a Baaaad man!!!
I have been watching the NBA for more than 40 years, and there is absolutely no doubt that LeBron is a Top 3 player of all time. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the best player that I ever saw. Back in the 70s he dominated the NBA, he won more league MVPs than any other player at 6. But he could have easily have won 12 league MVPs, he was that good and pretty much unstoppable with that Skyhook. The debate that is going on is who is the best wing player, they have essentially taken Kareem out of the conversation. But they should preface it by saying best wing player not best player.
Love that 3 6 reference
Two months off and it's back in the bubble before Christmas!
Lebron is the GOAT ! Remember we are talking about greatest player of all time, not 6 years, with a retirement in between 😂😂
Lebron won with kyrie- Kyrie has shown he can’t make a team better in 2 different places. We’ll see with KD.
Lebron has won with love- injury prone, the literal definition of injury phone.(missed or wasn’t 100% a lot of playoff and even finals games.)
Lebron won with wade- ppl forget wade a legend but brons last 2 years in Miami, wade was not the same player. His body was starting for fail him and was in n out of the lineup often. 49 games played in 2012 69 Gp in 2013.
Bosh- great teammate honestly for Lebron.
Ad- gets his best teamate in his career. Unfortunately he had to wait 17 years. And wins in convincing fashion. We can’t blame Lebron for kahwi, giannis, harden and pg choking.
Now why do I say Lebron is the goat? Everywhere Lebron has gone he is a walking finals appearance. Lebron is a team player, he makes your team and players around him better.
Jordan playoff record was 1-9 and swept twice in the first round before pippen came. When Jordan had Charles Oakley he couldn’t get out the first round. Jordan just like Lebron has had blemishes.
A team of Pippen, Rodman, kukoc, Kerr, Armstrong, paxson, grant etc, and had legendary coach Phil Jackson. Lebron has yet to have a iconic or legendary coach. Go through lebrons coaches.
When Jordan first retired. What did that same bulls team without their best player do? They didn’t miss a beat lol. The bulls team without their best player(Jordan) took the New York knicks to 7 games, that same knicks team took the Houston Rockets to 7 games in the finals.
So the bulls without Jordan were good enough to compete for a title, then u add Jordan? What Lebron led team, where that could even remotely be a possibility ? Aging Dwade and bosh out of the lineups made heat not an option.
But yeah Jordan leaves the bulls and they still competing for a title lol. Also do ppl just forget Jordan on the wizards? Like Jordan did absolutely nothing on the wizards. “Oh he was old but scoring”. Uh ok Lebron has more wear and tear, more minutes and pretty much was on pace to bring the lakers to the playoffs with a inexperienced team. Jordan was never capable of doing that. Lebron winning titles, while Jordan trying to avg 30 a night.
Lebron > Jordan. Lebron makes a team better no matter how bad. Jordan needed a solid squad to get anywhere. I’ve seen Lebron take iguaskas and delonte west to the finals. I’ve seen Lebron take a legendary GSW team to 6 games with deladova as his best player. I’ve seen Lebron take jr smith and tristian Thompson and literally carry to the finals. I’ve NEVER seen Jordan accomplish anything without pippen ❗️💯
Jordan struggled against Reggie Miller. A great player in his own right but put in curry. Then add a 2 way player in klay. Oh yeah add a specific lockdown defender on you igoudala and then add a DPOY. Add KD in there for a year. Take away pippen, Rodman, place Kyrie with K love(injured sometimes or not 100%). Have Jordan play for 4 years for finals ty Lue or David blatt as a coach. Also a year where Kyrie and love are both injured. Let’s see what that 6-0 record looks like.
The bubble life would have been really difficult.
Kudos to the Lakers and the Heat. We appreciate you playing during the pandemic.
The honest reason for so many people hating him is because of his claim to being the GOAT due to his body of work... He has a fair case I haven't seen a player like him but it's hard to surpass someone who has an aura like MJ... Always been known as the 🐐 and to be honest with everyone it's arguable really...but for me as much as I like LeBron... It's hard to put him past MJ , but then again two entire different players... Both are amazing full stop really
Like your explanation well put brother. It's all preference and most people are bias but I'm just happy to have seen them both play.
Mj not better than kareem nor wilt nor bill
@NizzyNizerson yeah he team hops to really bad teams and says "I'll bring you a championship" and then he brings them a freaking championship... You act like he's joining a 73-win team to go ring chase.. oh wait that was KD....
@NizzyNizerson fair enough dude constructive criticism... Either way he's a great player dude... It was Steph clay and KD really... I honestly don't think it would have made a difference... The warriors ain't what they were in my opinion... During their first two years they had depth not so much anymore... Still an amazing team, but I don't think it would have made a difference... KD could arguably àccording to many be perhaps the first or second best player in the world... He's other worldly in my opinion, but could he carry Kyrie and his endless drama to the finals on their first year? Idk dude so many what ifs but in the end LBJ AD and the Lakers won the chip and the clippers didn't even make it out of the second round... So yeah fair enough you have your opinion but I just like watching great players play... I don't really care who they are...
17 NBA Championships: 5 in Minneapolis and 12 in Los Angeles.
Nick ... A real one. Respect.
Woah Kevin Wildes said something meaningful that added value
2:44 say wha... "yea ho"
Lebron is absolutely due his respect. And I think that a 2 on 2 game of Lebron and Kobe VS MJ and Magic (obviously all in their prime) would be very fun to watch.
Lebron would have 10 rings if he wasn't up against Timmy Spurs and Curry KD Clay Golden State. MJ was facing truck drivers and PE assistants.
Centers couldn’t even shoot threes on jordans era 😂
Mj never faced a golden state team in his pife..73-9 with KD added to em.
MJ got bodied by the aging Showtime Lakers early on. He would've never reached the finals if the 80s Lakers and Celtics came in the 90s instead of the 80s.
Stop talking basketball bro! This is the dumbest FN comment ive ever heard! First, that was Wilt Chamberlain that had a plumber in the league in the 60s, that wasn't Jordan! And MJ would have 10 rings if he didnt retire twice! Competition was fierce in the 90's, u sound stupid AF
@@SDG.12 Jordan was drafted to the worst team in the nba, with no help... Celtics and Lakers both had 5hof on their teams! So by ur post, MJ did face teams like the Spurs and Warriors...their called the Celtics and Lakers! If he didnt have to face them in the 80s with a garbage team, Jordan would have like 15 rings! See how dumb ur argument is? I seen both play, Jordan is the best offensive and defensive player in nba history! Lebron is a triple double!
Thank you Nick for shutting up the jealous haters!
You're talking about a guy that came into the NBA fresh out of high school. He shouldered that responsibility beautifully, with tremendous grace he not only met but exceeded expectations. Made it to his first nba finals at the age of 22, and if it wasn't for a subpar organization, he maybe would have won a championship or two in his first run in Cleveland. Then he accomplished his goal and dream and won a championship at 27. He brought the Miami Heat 2 championships. Brought a championship to the Cleveland Cavaliers for the first time and fullfiled his promise. Then he opened up a school in his hometown with the promise of a college scholarship for graduates. That last one I believe is his greatest achievement. Now he is third all time in scoring....and he isn't even about scoring. Now he's going to add to it, by winning his fourth championship, his third with a different team, and bringing a championship back to the Lakers. LeBron James; the greatest of all time. I'm telling you man, appreciate this, witness this, because we won't see it again for a long time.
Nick > Everyone else
Who was Lebron talking about “Everyone “
Lebron ppl gon remain Lebron ppl , and Jordan ppl gon remain Jordan ppl ..
That simple , the one who truly never got his full respect was Kobe because he was so much like Jordan, he didn’t carve out his own space...
Nick speaking FACTS!!!
Why are we listening to chris. He has been wrong all year
He Genuine thats his magic to excellence wherever he goes
TELL EM NICK !!!
Why do people want respect from their haters?
Spit them facts, Nick!!
Nick is da BOSS!!!
Plain and simple! LB is on a different level, but not the level as the greatest NBA player of all time....MJ will never leave that position.
3-6 mafia lol, that was a good one
Then nick should shut up about pippen mafia.
Nick was cookin 🔥🔥🔥💯
They cut out Brandon's part 😂😂
🐐 🐐 🐐
lol hows the ratings for the finals? thats respect! when people are advised to stay home, they rather have covid than watch lebum
Sorry lebron those who don’t respect you now never will their just haters and it’s in their blood
I am a Kobe fan!! But Lebron is goat!
Nick Wright looking like he’s about to cry every time he talks about Jordan and Lebron is not going to help his cause at all
Man, I remember 15 years ago when CZcams wasn’t owned by a bunch of greedy beggars. Those were good times
Win 1 3peat bron. Just 1. Then you can start talking about goat
We know at least 5 ppl are watching the NBA
Much respet for that MAN you waching history with this man the num dont laying and the best thing about ALL this he still going stong year 18 ONLY IM SAYING 😁😁😁💣💥
Chris has ridden the clippers all year
Most of these haters don't hate lebron there is a lot of respect towards him. They just don't believe the narrative that lebron is #2 or the GOAT. He is STILL the best player in the current NBA and this current title placing him up the all time list.
It should erk him that he isn't looked at thats hes the GOAT. Stats can be used to the lie and its the impact you place on the court thats matters. Win more title will put him on a mount Rushmore platform. That isn't disrespecting lebron because he still has a career resume to write.
1.Jordan
2.Russell
3.Kareem
4.Magic
5.Lebron
3rd or 4th is Lebrons is if he wins 1 more. Before disputing this list look into the impact other than stats that the players above lebron had. Lebrons impacts has been massive, yet almost on their level. Any career over 20 season with eithe 1chip or 1MVP could easily have him at 2nd and case for 1st. Considering the losses in his finals you have to pass every others players greatest part. Pass Jordan efficiency
Pass Magic for chips
Pass Kareem for points
Pass Russel for finals appreances
Win more titles/finals MVPs with most about of teams.
Doing this makes the finals loses an after thought.
I refuse to diminish this championship. It’s not the Lakers fault that the so-called best teams fell short of expectations. The Lakers did their job-too bad that the others did not.
ya know why Lebron has that many doubters and haters. BECAUSE EVERYTIME HE OPENS HIS MOUTH he praises himself like the second coming of jesus. Lebron acts and plays unbelievable, but dude he has as much humility as lavar ball. imagine lebron giving interviews like steph. he would be the most beloved player ever
He stacks teams wtf is wrong with people
I don’t care what anybody says Nick definitely would have thrown some Kobe shade in this argument but because of recent events he obviously won’t. same thing with Jason Whitlock I think a lot of people who have been overly critical of Kobe over the years aren’t going to touch that with 100 foot pole now
Jordan won in the era of expansion with 4 expansion teams in the East with just a few good teams.
The average team in the East was better in Jordan's era than LeBron's, stats prove it. Look at Zach Lowe's story on ESPN. Though not by as much as people say.
Why do they keep saying, “brandon” when they’re talking like we care if brandon speaks and they’re trying to force him to say something. Stop it guys!! We don’t need to hear from brandon lol
Brandon spoke before them but they edited his part out. So they were responding to him
Broussard and Nick killing it again as usual. They gotta make Broussard permanent
What was well spoken Broussard ? Lebron has so many haters and doubters ? You along with other sports sites hAve 3 segments about lebron a day since 2016 . Name me on athlete in sports history that has been marketed more or equal to Lebron? That’s why some people don’t watch because y’all barely spend money marketing other great players
I don't know why everyone doubts lebron
PURE hatered! They hate that he was born with talent, they hate that he has exceeded ALL expectations, they hate that he changed the power dynamic in the league. They hate that he brought a championship to Cleveland AND beat the greatest regular season team of all time. They hate that he wins inspite of coach, teammates or organization. They hate that he is a GREAT father and husband! They hate that he stands up for Black Americans! They hate that he isnt afraid of the President!
I don’t respect the Goat claims and how every convo about Bron’s greatness has to include it. Imo it takes away from what he’s actually accomplished by constantly contrasting him with Michael Jordan (who’s still the goat, by far).
How?
Jack Johnson When?
Vanexel23 mj Choked in the first round 84-85 season 3-0 to the Bucks
85-86 season 3-0 to the Celtics
86-87 season 3-0 to the Celtics
1988, choked in six games in the conference finals in 1989 choked after holding a 2-1 lead but ya act like this never happen
@@Dollaupt 1988 2015 Lebron had 2-1 lead, and got swept by GS and Spurs
@@shasankamadduri1998 yup two one lead minus both of his best players on the court swept by spurs as a 22 year old kid with a bum roster yet it took mj till 28 to make to the chip
3:50 I think that clutch layups and clutch dunks are FAR more LESS clutch than clutch pull-up mid-range jumpshots.
Lol
Took the bad lakers ? It’s almost a new team. Lol.
lebron has a lot of doubters and neysayers, and skip is the president of them all
if LeBron becomes the all time scoring leader, he'll be my goat
Facts about LBJ should lbj haters to know ans why he needs respect too:
1. LBJ joins MJ as the only player who has 4 finals MVP
2. 1st player to win finals MVP with 3 different team
3. 2nd player to beat team in NBA finals after winning MVP with the team (Wilt Chamberlain def. Warriors in 1967)
4. 4th player to win FINALS MVP at age 35 or older (Abdul, Wilt, Jordan)
5. 8th player to win finals MVP with lakers, 7 are in the hall of fame.
lebron is the best basketball player of all time. no one has ever been better at the game of basketball than him.
The reason why Lebron has doubters and haters is because of Lebron's style of play. He wants everyone involved and to win, sometimes that dose eventuate to a win. He should be out there dominating every night but he doesn't, so this creates doubt. He has great stats but is not the leading scorer, rebounder or assists leader - at the end of his career tho, his totals will add up to more than those before him the longer he plays.
Back in Jordan's day he was the goat cos he won 2 3 peats in the 90's. There was no doubt during his playoff runs because once he won once in the finals he never lost again. I know Lebron fans would hate this but, 4 from 10 is why there is doubters. Had Lebron beat Dallas, and SAS making this his 6th ring - then yes he would be the goat and there would be no question or doubt about it.
Don't forget Lebron missed last years playoffs. The goat talk was non existent, but now everyone acting like he won 4 in a row and questioning his respect? for what? Ya'll need to be consistent. We only hear about the GOAT talk when the man is winning. Then we hear about how much help Jordan had when Lebron's losing. Someone once said that after this win its proof that all Lebron needs is a coach and a ball to win a ring, guess 2019 they had no balls or coaches! COME ON COLIN!!! Breathe and relax! Lebron's done great things, but only he is responsible for his doubters and the respect he receives. Not all basketball fans are blind/dumb. We can see the help you get. It doesn't take away from what is accomplished but how hard did you have to work from 2019 to 2020? The Lakers deserved a ring from putting the pieces together. But Lebron didn't do anything different. He just had better players that allowed him more time to focus on assists or rebounds or whatever. Great things but not impressive!
Lebron James is GOAT
5 heads..No lagging... 5g working great
Lebron James is the goat 👑💍💪😊
LeBron is the game is the GOAT.
You old farts should give LBJ credit - he’s won 6 second place prizes in the finals. LBJ is truly the second greatest of all time.
Well, 4 golds and 6 silvers would seem greater than just 6 golds.
@@toteispoe4 I’d doubt that.
Lebron really is the most hated star I've ever seen. And people always say but MJ and Kobe but based on the numbers LeBron is the most clutch. I'm talking about basic numbers not all the super-smart math guy bs. If Lebron had always played in the west he'd have a better finals record. And maybe more rings. I love MJ and Bron but people need to stop hating on Bron like he is a bum or something. Most people never even watched Jordan play. Just a bunch of kids repeat other people's words. I was never a Bron fan but I never hated him or wanted him to fail. There are people out there who literally want this man to fail so bad. It's so weird to me why they even care that much. Most not be doing anything with their lives.
This man wanting Kawhi Leonard in his team? And Davis? This man has great players sometimes 2 on his team. Every year this man has studs on his team and brings him his way. He basically try’s to guarantee championships. The heat should if won every year with that team. Michael beat stockton on and Malone magic Johnson Gary Payton and Shawn kemp Charles Barkley . Lebron created ridiculous teams and wants Kawhi in his team too it’s ridiculous comparison. Put me on this show and you will get schooled. He went through a week eastern conference every year to make it to the finals met real competition when he would reach the finals and got spanked. Dwade Chris bosh ray allen Shane battier that team alone would of made it to some finals as well. Kevin love was a beast when he went to Cleveland and people forget kyrie Irving averaged 27 pts in that 3-1 come back. Giannis did it with less this year and deserved the regular season MVP. Dwade Anthony Davis Chris bosh Kevin love ray allen kyrie Irving... that’s ridiculous amount of talent that MJ never had... put Kevin this show you guys are fools.. Lebron has no excuse for losing 6 times in the finals because most of the time he had the talent to win.. if I’m the GOAT and you give me some studs then I’m winning shouldn’t be a problem in a 7 game series .
While I agree that the Heat should have won all four titles, you can't ignore that the league also counter-acted Lebron and put together even more OP teams. MJ never faced a team like the KD Warriors or even those Duncan Spurs in the finals. When MJ did face pantheon great teams like that (80s Celtics/Pistons) he got bounced in the first round but somehow it's better to get bounced in the first round than lose in the Finals lol
LeBron also has never had a HOF coach EVER. MJ had Dean Smith in college and Phil Jackson for his championships. And if you think great coaching isn't a big deal just ask MJ himself. He needed Phil so badly that he retired when Chicago wouldn't bring him back.
@@moses9647 yes but the heat didn’t play the warriors.. I don’t like what’s KD did but I always say he outdid Lebron at his own game and that Heat Team list to the Mavs and and the Spurs.. he had enough there to beat those teams... I agree the warriors weren’t even fair but the Heat which I think is the best assemble team he never played the warriors
MJ is GOAT
People want to argue about who the goat of basketball is or compare LeBron to MJ. I just had a thought, LeBron now has lead 3 different franchises to chips with mvp for all 3 after going to the finals 10 times. And mind you with no hall of fame coach, no stable bullet proof system and wasn’t afraid of losing or tarnishing his legacy. He excepted that challenge throughout his career. Lebron has won on the east and the west now. MJ was a great player don’t get me wrong but he played it safe for his career and legacy. MJ had a hall of fame coach with a strong system that works and a stable second guy in Scottie Pipen who was by his side throughout all his chips with 1 franchise. And when that time came for Phill to leave and him to take on a challenge to lead a team without a hall of fame coach MJ quite!!! Cause he didn’t won’t to take the chance of becoming a losing player and ruin his legacy. That’s sound pretty selfish to me. And it tells me that without Phill, Jordan wouldn’t have any chips. The same way Kobe stopped winning chips after phill left. All Kobe chips was under phill as well. But he wasn’t afraid to keep playing Kobe loved the game more then his legacy as the same for LeBron. MJ could’ve still played after Phill left but chose not to because he couldn’t win without Phill.
Not only that but out of the 6 finals losses it was only once he was the favorite going into those finals & that's the dallas loss other than that he was pose lose cause those teams were better.... a fool actually told me Vegas would never underdog an alpha like mj i told them mj never faced a team with more than 2 all stars when he was winning championships people hate bron got his fair share of help but he usually faced 3 to 4 all stars vs mj facing 1 or 2 that just common sense.... i tell people mj can be your goat but miss me with that 6-0 talk when the competition was questionable & he played 15 seasons.... i can accept you feel like mj style of play is better even though i disagree but i can respect that pov but some just want to hate bron cause he threatens mj legacy & has pass mj legacy in alot of people minds just depends on who you asking.... and the disrespect for kareem is a whole nother story
SouljaMakinBreadTV exactly I say the same if you wanna say mj style of play is better have at it but saying he’s a better basketball player then a dude that scores reb ast every game at a high level is crazy cause basketball is more then just scoring fan boys will always hold on to there history but they will never admit it
Jordan was a superior player, period. If you compare points/rebs/assists you can debate its a toss up.... if you compare defense its not even close 💯
you don't ask for respect, you earn it
So don't u think he has earned it 🤔🤔
@@osakanosworthy4062 why is he asking for it then? 🤔
Main reason people hate on LBJ imo that is valid.
Directing the Super friends team up
There is no problem with ppl hating LeBron, the problem is when these idiots try and diminish his accomplishments because they hate him
It's so sorry to hear a guy like him day this. The dude is arguably the best player in the world, has been MVP several times, four time Finals Champ and four times MVP and he is still crying about respect. Its so sad to kniw that after all he has accomplished he is still looking for respect. My friend respect is not requested is earned. He has a lot of respect, he wants what type of recognition, the GOAT? There are too many people that still believe that Michael Jordan is the GOAT, but he is on the conversation. However, it appears that is not enough for Mr James. Or maybe is the fact that he did not won MVP this year, who knows. The fact of the matter is that he has played the game up to the full of his abilities and has put a new standard of perfection that it will be very difficult to meet. He should be proud of his legacy and not demanding respect. One who has earned the respect of a lot of people is Jimmy Butler who took a team with basically no stars and made them a team. They fell short, nevertheless his efforts will be recognized.
one word : attitude
The arguments against being the GOAT are valid... sorry but LeBron has always had the blessing of all time greats around him. Yes, Pippen and Rodman were great but not like Wade or Bosh or this years stacked team. I'm sorry but Pippen was no Anthony Davis. When Bron had to carry a team... he couldn't. Never could. Allen Iverson carried a team better than LeBron.
So no... I don't respect a man that manipulates the whole league to bend to his will to get the best team in the league every year. Remember last year on the Lakers? On a real season? He was a chump.
💩NBA💩
Lebron, nobody cares that you won this title with another top 5 player & the most strangest NBA season I have ever seen!! Also, The Lakers actually called the NBA to complain about the foul calls, when they already have more talent than any other team in the bubble. I mean... Yeah, he won his 4th title but lets not forget that he's still (4-6) in the NBA finals. Smh
Still your favorite players favorite player
Dude your the worst kind of sports fan. Just respect greatness. If the clippers would have won it would people have cared? Every team does that after every game do you seriously watch basketball? It doesn't matter what he does your gonna hate because you're a hater plain and simple.
@@artystarks6290: Nah, yall Lebron fanboys are the worst kind of fans. Lebron is just now getting his 4th ring all while jumpin from team to team, to achieve that. I mean... Just imagine if another Player would have did some of the stuff Lebron has don' in their careers, they would have gotten killed for it but hey, thats how delusional & crazy Lebron fans are. & FYI... I don't care who won this year's title. I WAS GON' PUT A ASTERISK BESIDE IT!
@@vballgiant1: I seriously doubt it, because my favorite Player is who he's chasing!! NOW, PUT THAT IN YOUR PIPE & SMOKE IT.
@@mingledjester2278 yeah I'm a Dallas Mavericks fan living in and from Texas so try again. I just respect greatness
Lebron gets hate cuz he’s a drama queen and wants to crown himself the goat. Well if you wanna be the goat you better be ready to have everything be nitpicked
But why didn’t they nitpick the actual goat
I used to not understand the Lebron haters until I started seeing this guys takes. It’s not about Lebron it’s about toxic stans like Nick Wright.
He’s been hater for every single player that anyone compares to Lebron. He’s a poor man’s Skip Bayless who just went the opposite direction because he so unoriginal. Lebron is the greatest player of this generation and Jordan was the greatest of his. Whoever you may think is the GOAT is fine but don’t listen to the Lebron haters and the Jordan haters either. And never listen to what this toxic clown Nick Wright says. Especially if you ever want to get an objective analysis on anything
.
“No man who says ‘ I am the King ‘ is a true King. Likewise, none who demand respect will get my respect. What a massively insecure and egotistical person he is.
@Isaiah Proutyou have nothing smart or of value to respond with, so naturally you’d respond like a child would. Don’t get your feelings hurt, unless of course Lebron’s your lover, messiah or whatever crazy thing you think he is to you.
He didn’t give himself the nickname the king
@@bean3294 no he just got a Crown tattoo, Chosen One tattoo , calls himself the GOAT and walks around like he’s actually the Messiah.
@@eros727 alright dude chill out it’s not that serious
@@bean3294 lol I know it ain’t. And I don’t even dislike Lebron, I think he’s a fantastic all time great and does amazing things for the community, sports, and social justice. I just don’t like certain traits that he exhibits.
Lebron is not a Laker as far as I'm concerned he's a Cavalier and he's definitely not MJ
Who cares wtf u think?...u are'nt relevant
Can you get out there and do what lebron does .....! Haters going to hate like kat said if you have 25 by the end of the year try to have 50 cause haters are out there
I'm a LeBum hater and always will be a hater!!! LeSwept "Twice in the finals" James will never be on Jordan's level. MJ is THE GOAT not LeWhiney James.
