I swear there is no G.O.A.T debate. In 1988, Jordan was league MVP, Defensive Player of The Year, All NBA 1st team, All defense 1st team, Scoring Champ, Led the league in steals, Named All Star Team MVP, and won the Slam Dunk Contest.....ALL IN THE SAME YEAR!!!!
Got damn!!!!
Hot damn!!!!
Has anyone else done that? Or a big do it with blocks instead of steals?
@@peacemaker4829 no, nobody
@@spectator12345 Hakeem came really close though.
LeBron can play 20 more seasons padding his stats, the simple fact of the matter is , Michael Jordan is the best.
...word. :)
That is the only reason Lebron is playing still !
@@richardtrevino5516Jordan played no competition lol
@@lavernebenson2863😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@lavernebenson2863mj won so competition must be weak, lebron lost so his competition must be strong, fun logic. even if mj faces weak competition, you cannot prove that the wouldnt beat better competition anyway so i really dont get what this arguement aims to achieve.
As a Bulls' hater all my life, MJ is the GOAT. Nobody worked harder on both ends of the court. He was one of the most athletically gifted players ever, but he was also one of the most fundamentally sound at the same time. No one matched his intensity and competitive drive.
Respect for saying that as a Bulls "hater".
...what fan are you - Knicks or Pistons? ;)
Kobe matched it. MJ was more gifted but Kobe worked harder to be great.
@@Mike1122.And LeBron is better than both
@@lavernebenson2863😂😂😂Stop It. You’re embarrassing yourself.
@@lavernebenson2863. LeBron, played in the weakest conference in the history of the NBA for 15 years and racked up numbers to prove it. His true greatness is, losing 6 finals. It doesn’t matter if you Love him or hate him, he will never be better than MJ and Kobe. Take each player at their prime peak to take the game winning shot, MJ and a Kobe would take it and LeBron would pass it up. He’s a mediocre free throw shooter and turnover machine.
0:30 you said all that needed to be said ..the man came in and single handedly made basketball the most popular watched sport ...nuff said
The most watched sport worldwide is European Football but yeah he Jordan did popularize basketball
@@THEassasinationI don’t think every American has to specify *in America* every time a statement like that is made. We know soccer is huge everywhere else. This is an American CZcams channel discussing an American athlete so it’s kinda obvious what he meant
@@wm_9640 Maybe it's obvious to you if you are American but to anybody outside of America it definitely does matter. For example if somebody says the NFL is the most popular sport right now i guarantee anybody outside of America would say well no it's EU football. Whereas an American might understand you meant in America other nationalities wouldn't. The world doesn't revolve around America you know
Magic and Bird helped with that quite a bit too I'd say. Also, I don't know where basketball is the most popular watched sport. In most countries it's soccer. In the US I'd wager that it's football.
"Was Michael Jordan actually good?"🤔
No. Michael Jordan was, and always will remain, THE Greatest Of All-Time! "Good" is not a worthy enough adjective to describe Michael Jordan🤷
I was asking me: what a dumb question is that? 😂😂
the question is retarded.
No one knows if he will remain the goat for ever y’all are so delusional
Not forever, we don't know that. But right now he is. LeBron is out of the debate, so is KD and Steph imo and the next guys up who has a chance at MJ's throne is Luka, Giannis, Wemby
@@joesanthosh5315 jokic has a better chance than wemby and luka right now wembys career just started and jokic’s career is better than Lukas right now
80% of the goat "discussion" on the internet comes from 12 year olds.
There is no discussion.
Michael was art, plain and simple.
The greatest representation of the way the game should be played.
And then lebron, the best all around player of all time and is able to do anything the game required …. Is not how the game should be played huh..
@@kylinthompson2518
What does “all around “ means. LeBron doesn’t play defense for at least 5 to 10 years, is pretty bad at shooting outside three feet, doesn’t have a post game and is effective only when he’s the ball most of the time in his hands.
@@nicolasm.3708 in his prime he was a dpoy candidate, shot 40% from 3 and 57% fg, and even with no crazy post skills was still dominant down low, all while being one of the best playmakers. Miss that version of him.
@@kylinthompson2518 Lebron goes to teams starts out great then, everything implodes, gets the coaches fired, wants shit players to join and then he dips.
Fvck Lebron and his bitch ass antics… flop here flop there.
He also hates the very country he currently plays in that gave him his opportunities..
He should move to China 🇨🇳 so he can be a fool for their leaders and do tricks and impress his owners… China 🇨🇳.
The closest thing to MJ is Kobe, not LeBron.
LeBron is a totally different archetype indeed. He didnt chased to mimic Jordan but opened his own path according to his insane physical abilities.
I still rate MJ #1 and Kobe #2, but LeBron is also one of 3 GOATs.
@@IlestunIt’s only one goat but I hear you.
@@Ilestun I would 100% agree with you with Lebron at 3rd, but his attitude in the game, his body leguage, the flops, the drug allegations, the HUGE chokes leading to the most stupid excuses I've ever heard, I really tried to like Lebron, I wanted a new Kobe or MJ to root for since after Kobe nobody comes to that level of game ethics but Lebron is just not it for me. I have him still in my top 10 just because he really is an exceptional athlete, but I just can't put him over true legends that just made everything right, even if they are not 100% better basketball players
You are right my brother!
facts
Fantastic video. Your next one should be about is water wet. After that you can do one about if the sun is hot. Then to complete the trilogy you can do one about if one plus one equals two or not.
Facts 😂😂
😂😂truth.
Corrections: MJ was around 5'10" when he was cut from the varsity team as a sophomore. MJ scored 55 points against the Knicks in 1995, his FIFTH game back.
he was thr Knicks daddy
This guy has all kinds of facts wrong must be a LeBron fan
Another correction. Jordan was born February 17th. Not the 19th like this man claims.
Thanks for this update
Right. So no "ring rust" excuse. He got bounced by Horace Grant. The Bulls system was broke, they needed Rodman.
i watched nba from 93 until now......no one can be compared to this guy... the domination , the aura, the relentless, skills etc . kobe is the only player who almost reached his level.
I was so lucky that I was in the Chicago suburbs and 16 when he won the first championship. I was there for all of it.
you have won the lottery of life, bro
For those out there too young to have seen him play live, It was ridiculous how good he was. Ridiculously quick, ridiculously skilled...he overmatched every individual player who was tasked to stop him, He understood the game and was competitive to a fault. If his team sucked and found itself down 20 , he would take over and either get close or just as often got there...but he had no peer. They could only double him and force him to pass if he wasn't already in the air scoring anyway...
The thing is he worked his ass to be the best all his career. He put the hours he needed and even more before every match, every season. Not every professional sportsman invest that amount of work, but the greatest. That’s why there is only one or at most two in every position or sport
I just noticed in the first part of this video where they show of MJ....It said he was born Feb 19, 1963 but actually his birthday is February 17th, not 19th
Jordan was the best player I have ever had the pleasure of watching.
MJ scoring and Defensive beast. One of a kind player.
I as a kid born in 2002. Mj the goat lebron ain’t close. I grew up with Lebron. I can see he don’t got the skills mj had. And most of his arguments for the goat conversation are narritives based on emotions. Not facts.
Lebron can’t shoot outside 3 feet shooting 36 for his career. He cant shoot free throws despite being a main ball handler. He a below average 3 point shooter. And mj beats him in advanced stats. And traditional stats with context. Mj a better rebounder compared to other shooting guards than lebron is to other small forwards. The passing is over blown as when mj played point guard he averaged 11 assists a game and mj and lebron are both tied for assists in one game with 17. Put that in to perspective. Mj was an all round player. Even more than lebron. Lebron got those weaknesses I mentioned. Mj biggest weakness was he’s average 3 point shooting. That’s it lebron has 4 weaknesses not even mentioning his weak mentality that allows him to flop without shame
Not only that. You don’t want him taking the last shot. In games were the game is on the line and they need a bucket to tie or win. He shoots 20% in the clutch. Sorry he ain’t the goat. And I would be terrified if he had to take to last shot to save the world. But yeah he totally on mj’s 50% in the clutch level. He total on the level of a dude that shoots the same at the end of the game as he does during the game. That’s true clutch.
That literally mean the pressure of the moment doesn’t affect him like it’s does for lebron.
lebron is a magic Johnson type
@@ricardolozano5356 no not even that magics style was faster paced and he created the offense and had a lot of fast break plays. Lebrons style is a slower dish to the three or dish on a cut type of passes and he can get it to you with great accuracy. The accuracy part is about all the have in common how the got there assists was difference and magic put magic on that shit. He passes look better aesthetically. And magic got way Moses assist in less time. Magic played 11 seasons vs guy’s like Stockton played 19 seasons. If you do the math, if magic had had a longer career and not contracted aids he would have smashed Stockton in assists and it would be close. Lebrons at 10,458 in 20 years magic had 10,141 in 11 years. Stockton has 15,806 in 19 years. Give magic those 9 years he would most likely be close to 19-20,000 assists
MJ=Eyes closed, nothing but net. LBJ= Eyes wide open, airball. Shaqtin a fool anyone? LBJs got bout 15 minutes of that for ya
lol
@@detectivemarksevenagainst weak competition lol number 1 scoreer in the league
🤣🤣🤣
@@lavernebenson2863🤡🤡
U= uh.. who are u again?
This is a stupid question… Michael bring the basketball globally… there is no basketball player doesn’t know his name even though they were not born yet when he played…
Because MJ was such a SPECTACULAR player to watch he put on a show for his fans weather it be a bulls home game or on the road game he filled the arena wherever bulls played.
MJ IS THE GOAT during the toughest era in history ... end of discussion
The NBA today is softer than kleenex with over inflated stats and rules to promote a failing brand that is no longer viable.
NBA IS SOFT IN THIS ERA!
@@OntheGOsportsshowyeah
soft as whipped cream and cotton candy whats crazy is the records being broken these days those same players wouldnt be able to do that in Jordans era ..Luka for instance he has really no threats or comp defensively to stop him now, very few.. back then it would be 2 to 3 guys that would give him hell on every team dang near lol@@OntheGOsportsshow
The toughest era was the 2000s. But yes, mj the goat
@@alanlee67 Disagree, the toughest era was the 90s, the early 2000s were leftovers of that. The perfect balance was mid 80s to mid 90s. I played in the 90s and early 2000s.
2004 it all went down the toilet. Removing defense totally.
I played Professionally w Sonics in 2002 as a practice squad member.
In the 90s, with Orlando during the summers before Shaq when Otis Smith was the man #32.
You noticed a glaring difference. Much tougher to score in the 90s. I speak from hands on experience not just sitting watching tv.
I played against some of these great athletes.
Was he good? Are you kidding me? Jes the goat.
He's the goodest

Who Was Jordan’s Hardest Competition By Chance ?
@@GABEMOORE533Fr ?
@@crosswiz6Fr ?
What's going to be the next titled video? "Was Manute Bol actually tall?
might be actually
Jordan was 9 times all defensive first at the same time as scoring champ. That really shows how much of a beast he was on both ends.
Also steals champ at the same time as scoring champ.
Something that never gets mentioned. Jordan is top 5 in both totals and per game averages in both scoring and steals. Some players maybe both for one stat but not 2.
Jordan took it to another level in the finals especially the first 3.
91-- average 11.4 assists per game highest for anyone not Magic.
92 - - average an impressive 42% for 3s and in game 1 shot six 3s in a half which was a record for 18 years until Ray Allen the only person to shoot more in a half
93-- average 41 points per game highest ever.
The only negative thing I can say is he could have had 300 or so potential games where he could have accumulated even more success and some even say more rings.
MJ is the measuring stick. In every area. No one is at his level. He sits alone looking down. Saying close , about one. Kobe and he looks down on all others... LeBron who?
Yup, if anybody had a chance of becoming close, it was going to be Kobe, he was taken from us too soon. RiP Black Mamba.
Kobe was great can we stop mentioning him in this debate. Because then people that disagree with you will have to put down Kobe and it’s not good to put down a dead man. He was one of the greatest just let him rest in peace.
MJ just made the game look so easy.
Never saw Jordan live but as an unbiased NBA fan, there is no debate.
Who ?
@@hyperflame7255 jordan
“Is the water wet?” kind of thumbnail.
Jordan is the greatest scorer in NBA history with the all time highest regular season (30.1) and playoff (33.4) averages. Keep in mind that 30.1 clearly would be much higher had he not lost almost 2 years in his prime playing baseball and also the last couple of more or less meaningless years with the Wizards. Also, you can make the argument he's the best defender in history being one of only 4 players to make 1st team all defense 9 times and he actually won POY once. Combine that with his 6-0 record in the finals...GOAT!
Who Was His Hardest Competition In Your Opinion?
Jordan played against bums
"was Michael Jordan actually good?"
short answer: yes
long answer: hell yes
This video is not an exaggeration, but certainly it was more impressive to witness it. The presence of Jordan on the road during regular season made the day for every visited team. It was that big. The loss of the team was compensated just by watching that guy playing, Naturally not those teams who become or were close rivals since the moment Chicago started to win consistently
MJ brother dunking with ease at 5'8"
Craziest video title lol. Yea he’s the goat!
LMMFAO. The mans logo is on some football jerseys. People will still go wait in line to pay hundreds of dollars for his newest shoe when one comes out.
I'm from Chicago it was a blessing to watch MJ in real time play you always knew he was going to give his all on the court never giving up always must see tv Michael is the GOAT and it's not close MJ#23
If you're old enough to to have seen MJ and LeBron play its no comparison at all. MJ was him and didn't want to make friends on the court. He wanted to win at all costs... except by going to another team or building a supeteam! He was the most clutch player in NBA history and that's a fact!!
Who Was Jordan’s Hardest Competition By Chance ?
Was he good? Me: 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.......😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Uh yes. GOAT!!!
You could literally make a 3 second video saying "Yes" with this title and it would be accurate.
how disrespectful this title lol
Yeah it’s to get attention but am sure he knows how good he is.
MJ is not good he's is THE BEST EVER
This was actually pretty good! well done!
This video was on point -- especially with that closing statement. Holy smokes.
Opinions On LeBron
He was efffing incredible ⭐🎼
Most Players Are
I just watched two videos where the USA lost and came in third. And you are asking if a man that won two Olympic gold medals, six NBA championships with none of the games going to the seven-game and winning each Olympic game by 45 points ' these last two Generations are the worst generation ever.
Who Was Jordan’s Hardest Competition By Chance ?
kids, if u ever wonder why basketball shoe is so overpriced look none other than this man right here, because this man is where the story begin.
how do this guy only have 385 subscribers with this good of a vid.
I'm going to put forward for the hundredth time online, YES MJ and his father had talked about him stopping before that season, BUT does ANYONE seriously think that MJ would have made that choice if his FATHER had not been MURDERED? Come on, people, that was an absolutely earth-shattering event if your dad wasn't your best friend, and MJ's dad was his best friend. SLAP A LEBRONIE if they ever mention this, sheerly for disrespect of anyone's personal tragedy.
He wasnt good. He was great. Greatest of all time.
Who Was Jordan’s Hardest Competition By Chance ?
Oh this channel gona blow up
You guys are underrated and Kobe Bryant is crazy
Jordan wasn’t good
HE WAS SPECTACULAR!!!!
just replying to make you feel more self confident
i say it as a friend
you need it
Was he really good? You should be embarrassed to have the caption like that. I'm 47. And that's an insult
*Born Feb 17,1963
"Was Michael Jordan actually that good"
Me: Is water wet?
Imagine if a player would have food poisoning today.. they'd take 2 weeks off! But not MJ. He wanted to win, he wanted to play, he knew fans wanted to see him play, needed him to play. Never give up, always try your best to win mentality! No question about who or why he's the GOAT.
Players today don't even play when they're HEALTHY! If you would have said load management to MJ he'd punch you in the mouth!
🗣️REAL TALK .>🎤 🏀🗑️
Yea one time I was playing with mj in 1985 and he tore his leg off in a brutal matchup with lebron. He never even noticed it and dropped 50 the next quarter.
Who Was Jordan’s Hardest Competition By Chance ?
@@hyperflame7255 Oh you know, bunch of plumbers that played for Pistons, Knicks, Pacers, Heat, Lakers, Sonics, Suns, Jazz, Magic, Rockets, Spurs, etc...
Jordan is the goat 👌👌
Good research, some hiccups here and there. I did like the narrative. All in all from me watching MJ, and all others. MJ had a strong argument for GOAT status, but, my dad told me stories about Wilt and Kareem that were not documented. Like quintuple doubles when the nba was just a pass time for the average fan
The only people that can even come with in a mile of MJ is Kobe, Kareem, Wilt, LeBron, Shaq and possibly Magic, Bird and Russel.
I have always hated MJ. As a basketball player myself, I acknowledge his greatness, his flawless footwork, IQ, defensive skills, and so on. People that have never played at a high level don't see this. That is why they believe Lebron is the best. He is great but his basketball skills are far from MJ's. The dude can't even shoot free throws!!!!
Who Was Jordan’s Hardest Competition By Chance ?
@@hyperflame7255 I grew up watching MJ and I consider the penny Hardaway & Shaq magic, but I think the '98 pacers MIGHT take the cake, they forced MJ bulls to 7 while making them go into OT and almost won over them, but the bad boy pistons might be his hardest competition, since out of the 4-playoff series they played Jordan only got past them once, either way Jordans competition was way more harder and physical than LeBron's, nowadays you can't bump anyone without getting a foul, it's ridiculous! Like I said the pacers could have been his hardest competition, but bad boys take the cake for his toughest, brutal playoff series.
IN THE TOUGHEST ERA IN NBA HISTORY......AND YOU ASK A REDUNDANT QUESTION LIKE THAT......LUDICROUS
Where did you get that McDonalds all American game footage??
13:10 is the wrong Gary Payton.
At least It's His Son Lol
At this point it’s flat out disrespectful to compare ANY player to him ! So they need to stop it …It’s laughable
If you have to ask that question. You're to young to have seen him play or you're just an old hater. Ask any of the players of that time and they will all tell you of his greatness.
I don't think there are many old haters. If you saw him back then, you know. Most haters from back then have come around to respect him.
Never ever have i seen a crazier title to a yt video.
MJ 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
This is totally click bait. Michael Jeffrey Jordan is the goat And it's not really that close.
I laughed for a solid minute reading the title before clicking on the video
All time top ten list right now

Kobe
MJ

Steph
Duncan
Why is this even a question.

The title of this video is wild
8:44 Was that the camera sound effect from FNAF?
I’m sorry to tell that the picture you used of MJ’s mom is actually Viola Davis when she played Mrs. Jordan in Air.
13:09 You showed Gary Payton's son Gary Peyton II which only won 2.

You showed photo of the wrong Gary Payton, the one shown in the video is his son Gary Payton the second
Wrong picture for Gary Payton, that was his son…
Michael Jefferey Jordan born Feb 17 1963 n Brooklyn, New York
Short answer, yes. Long answer; dafuq you mean? Yes.
can't believe this is even a "debate"
3:48 were all lucky that injury wasn’t more serious
Yes
I have seen both era, Jordan is the 🐐
The title of this video is hilarious
February 17th !!🤙🏾
This was a good video, but my only criticism is that everyone knows that his first retirement was because of the murd*r of his father. Imagine what his overall stat line would be if he didn’t retire twice in his prime. 🤯🤯
I'm case anyone is wondering, advanced metrics tell the exact same story.
He's even the best from a math nerd perspective.
Simple, ask those who have guarded him in games and practice to give you the only eye test evaluation we need to hear
People question the guy who have his own Logo?
I have looked at this GOAT thing from every angle. Competition, teammate help, accolades, how well the player played. Offense, defense. Stats relative to their position and its MJ by a wide margin. I have come to the conclusion that Bill Russell is 2nd. Not Kareem or LeBron.
Long story short yes
I've heard a few different "facts" in this video (so far) that I questioned immediately. Then when the part about Jordan's double-nickel game at the Garden and heard the words, "in only his second game back..." which was just too much for me. I appreciate the Jordan videos, especially when expressing his greatness, but all you gotta do is a quick Google search and see that it wasn't his second game back but his fifth game back from his first retirement. Not sure why but that seemed too significant not to get correct.
You showed a picture of Viola Davis who played his mother. Not a picture of his mother. 🤷♂️
Y’all can have whatever record y’all want… give me the 6 for 6 with mvp in each finals all day 💯🔥
Who Was Jordan’s Hardest Competition By Chance ?
Yes. The goat
0:41 Michael Jordan has a many things... What you're seeing right there? PRICELESS!!! Goodnight..
What other player has been given 20+ free throw attempts? Man averaged over 10 free throws attempted a game. Refs loved this man, dont tell me different
