It didn’t move for me when he passed 38,387 and it’s not moving at 40,000.
It wouldn't move at 50,000 for u either
Yeah who cares about total points? Was Kareem the goat until lebron passed him? No. Was Karl Malone the 3rd best player ever? Of course not.
😂😂
@@valjohnson7112it’s more than just points his body of work and yes Kareem was goat
Exactly @@MRkriegs
This debate should be done with already😂
It is over, But like all kids they think if they just keep talking more intelligent people will listen to their nonsense.
Dirk ended the Goat debate in 2011.
Exactly
That Dallas loss really kills lebron. If he had five he would have a stronger case

ka BOOM!!!
@@MrJonnyl123 it would be 4 but yeah... even still he's just not the player kobe or magic or larry was in my opinion although there is at least an argument in those cases
with jordan it's silly
It's never been about total stats. It's about impact on the game and impact on the world. Jordan can't be matched
well ppl will tell u Jordan ain’t have no impact on the world
@@firstchain_prominenceYou might be wearing one.

@@firstchain_prominence you cant be serious
@firstchain_prominence Jordan has been retired for 21 years and still has the top selling shoe or 1 of the top selling shoes. And his brand has expanded into golf and the NFL. If that's not worldwide, I don't know what is.
Lebrom lost the GOAT debate back in 2011 when he lost to Jason Terry
Jason Terry and Dirk 😂
Same teach beat Kobe who was the defending champion
And JJ barea!!
Listen he already won 2 back to back with Miami. Got scared to try to do a 3 peat and left and just because you scored 40000 points ain't moving the needle. The fact is your job was to score and accomplish as much as the real 23 did and the little amount of time he did or less and you couldn't. He thinks if keeps passing records that he going to force us and other basketball fans that he's the real goat. Nope. That's why we have an eye test. Eyes don't lie.
@@ZulunationFamily kobe wasn’t on a superteam tho and had nothing to prove and just went to 3 straight finals it’s not who all the mavs beat in the 2011 playoffs do bringing up other teams and players is irrelevant it’s about an old 2011 mavs team beating and dominating the best player in the league on his superteam he orchestrated stop deflecting 😂😂😂😂

6 finals mvps, 10 scoring titles, defensive player of the Year award, NCAA championship, Olympic medals, Jordan is the greatest
No. The only thing that will move the needle is winning. He’s slowly turning into Wilt Chamberlain with all these records but not winning enough
He can only dream being like Wilt because they use to change rules to stop Wilt while for Lebron rules were changed or ignored so he could keep going
He’s has the 2nd most finals mvp ever and the historic finals against golden state. He’s done way more winning than wilt.
4 ring isn’t enough?! then 6 shouldn’t be nothing compared to 11 goofy
He’s nothing like wilt. When did bron score 80-90 points in a game and rebound the ball at an alarming rate. Wilt do,instead statistically in the paint. Bron has not dominated. He’s just played all these years enough games to pass Jabar.
To compare this statpadding bum to Wilt is beyond ludicrous. Laughable.
Like my coach once told me..."Statistics are like mini skirts, they look real good until you see what's underneath".
You would think lebron fans would know this about stats. Didn’t they see Westbrook play? And that man averaged a triple double.
@@valjohnson7112 They have NO other argument about how much better Jordan is than everybody let alone especially LeBron.
One of the callers there hit it right on the head, LBJ realizes he cannot match MJ's rings so all he tries to do is stat padding.
Exactly. He womt be in the goat conversation not for rings but for his longevity and stat line. Plus it helps lebrons case that he is more outspoken on social issues than jordan was. But based off pure winning? He cant win it that way
Simply playing in the NBA is stat padding? 😂😂😂 🤡🤡🤡
@@MRkriegsif the goal is winning he should sacrifice his stats and play defense, but you know what Lebron wan'ts the ball all the time to do stats and slacks to almost no defense, that takes a toll on the team. It is easy for people that have brain to know that.
Yeah he guards the weakest player and just rests on defense. Watch him away from the ball in offense too. He never cuts or posts up. He saves all his energy for when he has the ball so he can put up stats.
@@zinjgreen3398 He can't win though. Team just isn't good enough. He could play a bit more defense, but his offense is very very crucial to the lakers, and he does attempt some defense, but his quickness isn't there as much either. I mean they're horrible when he's taking it easy offensively, so even if played defense more that certainly wouldn't work. He wants a championship more than anything. Keep in mind, he's though about all this stuff more than anyone commenting here, his coach and team as well. This is something you should be realizing. Unfortunately for him they don't have it in them as a team, looks very unlikely regardless of what changes are made. I mean you're being unrealistic. I mean stats can help, but even someone like you has to understand that a championship comes first with him. That's how he improves his legacy. He literally has no reason for stats to be more important, which is why your comment lacked intelligence. I mean you're partially right, but you're also being unrealistic and not looking at the situation accurately which is why I educated you. Hope you learned something, legitimately actually for the future.

Pippen also
@@dparks2856that's why Pippen is the greatest #2 in the history of basketball.
left for 2yrs would he have beaten the rockets?
He also got swept a lot in the playoffs
Some history lesson here, Jordan’s playoff record was atrocious in the late 80s when Isiah Thomas and Larry bird were in their prime:
Jordan met Bird twice in the first round and got swept 3-0 3-0 back to back
Jordan met Isaiah 4 times in the playoffs and lost 3 series out of 4.
After Jordan repeatedly complained to David Stern, the flagrant foul rule was introduced in the 1990-1991 season, the same year Jordan finally won his first ring. The league couldn’t stop him driving to the basket at that point.
Michael Jordan while with the Bulls had said breaking Kareem's scoring record did not drive him, because if it did, he would not have retired.
Simple math!
So why did he get a trophy for getting to 30,000 pts 😂😂🤦🏾♂️ every argument y'all make get shot down. Jordan was a SCORER of course he wanted the record he just wasn't durable enough
@@chuckEdopemoves and lbj for all his durability is 4 n 6. No matter how long he plays or points he scores WINNING will always matter. This was never a argument don't fool yourself

I have him around 4 or 5.
He’s lost too much.
I think Hakeem, Larry bird, MJ, Duncan, Kareem and kobe are better than him. And If we talking abiut impact on winning I got to incluye Magic.
I can’t put Mj number 1 because he was 1-9 in the playoffs without pippen
@@dadillonfulman please shut up…dumbest argument ever
@@dadillonful That's a stupid uninformed comment. Jordan was going up against some of the greatest teams of all time before he had a decent team around him. Plus even when pippen came he didn't do much of anything to help the bulls win in the playoffs his first couple of years
@@johnsepulvedacruz6428throw in Barkley, Ewing, David Robinson, Wilt, Russell, Oscar, .........! They all had many ways to beat you. They just had to go up against MJ.
Jordan was electrifying to watch. Jordan did moves that was god like. That’s why he’s my goat. The rings was just the icing on the cake. I never watched a Lebron game and said wow what a play or did you see that move. Jordan would go up for a jump shot and the blocker jump late and Jordan would freeze time and still be in the air as the block came back to the ground. Jordan was called Black Jesus because Jordan could bend gravity. If it wasn’t for video you wouldn’t believe the stories about Jordan.
hell yeah
No. And no other player will ever give a damn about pursuing that record. Ask any player would they rather have 6 rings, 6 Finals MVP’s, 5 regular season MVP’s and 32K points vs Lebron’s 40K and sparsely spread out championships and MVP’s(none since age 28). I would think they’d take Jordan’s resume. But these new guys be weird and have different priorities so you never know.
AAU culture. Filling up the stat sheet is more important than W-L. "Basketball is a team sport" they say.
Honestly i think they care more about the money. Gilbert arenas made it clear he would take the carmelo anthony route and get the big payday from a team with no chance at winning

Allen took DMV test and scored perfect 100 pts to get his license. Bob took his first DMV test and scored only 65. He worked hard on it next time to score 85 for his license and a total of 65 + 85 = 150 pts. So Bob began talking, "Look, Allen might be a perfect driver but I'm the all time DMV scoring champ."
This debate is so tiresome. 10 years after Bron retires, he'll barely crack the Top 10. Right now, he's just fresh on people's minds.

The longer LeBron goes without winning another chip the more his longevity will work against him
Wat u said makes no sense

@@cheerioss-9121There’s nothing Lebron can do to pass Jordan to basketball fans, he’s only #2 for people who have only seen his generation play.
Nah. Once he was no longer in his prime imo that doesnt matter anymore. I'd say his last prime year was the championship year before injuries and age turned him into a still great player but no longer prime lebron. Just like I don't and no one should hold the fact mj didn't win rings on the wizards against him or shaq didn't win on the cavs or whoever you wanna pick. Anyone expecting lebron to win championships still and thinks anything less is a failure just is hating he of course wants to win but he's not at a point anymore where if he's not winning championships he's coming up short. Him just being a spectacular individual player is more then you could ask for from anyone his age and his amount of time in the league. The fact that some people still think that they have the ability to win and make a playoff run is just icing on the cake at his age.
So bill Russell is the goat then
Of course not. Winning matters the most. Plus his resume is not as impressive as Jordan's

@@fresh_printzmid range to freethrow alone.
Kareem, Erving, Magic, Bird, and finally MJ. These are the men who built the modern NBA. LeBron is enjoying the fruits of that labour. He has not expanded the NBA at all. The players mentioned before did just that. Those are the GOATS
Just as long as his PED supply doesn't run dry. 😆
5 years down the line we will 'discover' that he was juiced up😅
hell never be the goat., this debate ends in 2011 when a 2x mvp, a player on his prime teaming up with a top 75 player and an all star but couldnt win. how can you get outscored by a 33 years old bench player lol
Bron is on that juice !
😂😂😂damn right or unless he a cyborg
LeHGH moved a different needle 💉💉💉💉😂
No....
LeGM has played over 400+ more games. If MJ choose to not retire & played even within 100 games of Lebron he'd have over 42k points. Lebron's 40k point achievement just strengthens his longevity, but he already has the greatest longevity career ever. He's also benefited from the era, lack of defense, rules that protect stars, better training/nutrition, rarely playing back to back games & the elephant in the room = a decade + of PED use. LeGm is so desperate that it tells you even he knows he hasn't surpassed MJ's legacy. His need to continually bring it up shows how insecure he is about it. MJ never says a word because he doesn't care & he knows his legacy/is perfectly satisfied with that legacy. Period, end of story.
What is that clown at 14:30 talking about??
Lebron has 29,041 FGA's All-Time (w/ the most misses ever)
Jordan only had 24,537 FGA's All-Time.
Lebron passed Jordan in total FGA's in the 19'-20' season (5 years ago) & that includes shooting 3,800 more 3's!!! The guy has NO CLUE what he's talking about. 🙄
It ain't even close between Jordan and Lebron. Lebron might be #3 behind Kareem. Nothing wrong with that.
LePED had the benefit of playing in a league with no defense, rules favoring the offense, 3 point takeover, etc...
The accolades between the two is not even CLOSE!
True ranking is MJ, KAJ and then whoever as it would be a toss up between Magic/LBJ

Longevity records need more scrutiny after Garnetts comments
That callers argument was a great one!! Don’t laugh it off like you don’t recognize HAHA. He took the same amount of shot attempts in SIX more years. Not saying he’s better but that is impressive
You're looking at that backwards. Jordan accomplished more in far *fewer* years. That's way more impressive. What a given player's output is per game and per year, is always more valuable than watering the discussion down based on garbage time, over an extended period of time.
When Kareem had the scoring record, did the GOAT debate matter? It’s just an individual accomplishment and a distraction from the facts.
If the fact his longevity has made him the all time turnover leader, on the verge of most missed shots in nba history, most playoff losses, most finals losses…don’t count in the goat debate then his positive longevity stats don’t either.
My thing is why even ask these mj vs bron questions to people like this if there is ALREADY absolutely nothing bron can do in their mind to “pass mj”.
I think an obvious comparison is Emmitt Smith VS Barry Sanders. Emmitt has 18,355 yards & 164 TDs vs Barry's 15,269 & 99. Almost no one would consider Emmitt better than Barry. If Emmitt had kept playing even longer and got to 20,000 & 185, would that have convinced people? Of course not. Lebron won the longevity category a long time ago, no one is arguing against that.
40k points is not more impressive than 10 CONSECUTIVE scoring titles

Same boring conversation lol
Can y’all bring up PEDS!
Everyone is Afraid!
What do you wanf them to say?
40k is a great achievement but come on, Jordan played like 15 years and played in a tougher era. LeBron cannot catch up to Jordan, Magic, Kobe or Duncan. I cannot stand this new play in tournament and I think Adam Silver James has been trying to help the Lakers but they’re still in 9th place. Jordan played in an era where the playoffs had 1st-8th seed only.
What made it tough? The hacking? The sorry SGs guarding MJ?
It was tougher because of Hard fouls and hand checking was legal. Lebron would have a Lot harder time driving to the hoop when Dennis Rodman is pushing him with one hand the whole way.
Also there were a lot less 3s so the court was less spread. Easier help defense.
You know it's still 1st vs 8th seed in the playoffs ain't nothing changed right they just added the play in tournament to get more interest
If being an all time leader in major categories makes your the goat regardless of epic playoff meltdowns, then John Stockton is the best point guard of all time and Karl Malone is the third best player of all time.
I'm sorry Lebron is not the GOAT, I half to agree the last dance did open the younger generation's eyes, I never watched Michael Jordan play with the bulls, but I sure as hell got some insight to what a champion he was.
how about 9 times scoring titles, 9 times defensive titles and 6 rings, in less in 14 seasons, what are we talking about here, GOAT MJ
he has the most shoes tied jersey's put on and he averages the most flops and balls dribbled too what a generational talent
That Rob Parker stat of MJ is 11 out of 11 in every final he was in
There is absolutely nothing that he can do to eclipse Jordan. He can play until 50 and score 50,000 points, and it won't matter to the majority. As a matter of fact, each year that passes, hurts his case.
people forgotten that Michael Jordan did play basketball in college and won championship. He also was the last college player that won an Olympic gold. Lebron will ever never got a snip of what it's like as an NCAA champion. All the points and accolades that MJ achieved in college does not count for his NBA career. Emmit Smith hold the all time rushing yards. Is he the great RB of all time?
NO WAY NO HOW
LeBron James fan boys in here really hurt ha ha ha😂
always
Ironically, LeBron and his fans constantly pushing this GOAT argument only causes people to not appreciate these kinds of milestones and achievements. We would root for him more if he wasn't unrealistic with his expectations-what's wrong with being a universal top 3/5 player? You didn't peak as hard as MJ did, no one has except for him. He earned the GOAT label.
As they mention all the time, what really matters is peak performance.
When we talk about the GOAT we are talking about who reached the highest level of play, no matter what the sport is.
For an extreme example, if you had a guy go in 100 meter sprint for 9 second once and some other dude average 9.3 for 40 times.
What would people care about more? Obviously the faster dude
Good luck accurately measuring a peak in a team sport....too many people don't recognize this is why there can never be a debate. MJ did not win those chips alone and Lebron didnt score 40k alone on the court. It's a team game...smh
@@hooplah.hoops.hoodooyou definitely can measure that.

Joe, Montana Peak was better than Tom Brady’s Peak, but y'all gave Brady the GOAT status partly because of his longevity
Michael took 3 more shots per game than Lebron, But Lebron took 5000 more 3s than Jordan. So it’s damn if you do, damn if you don’t…
It has to matter some or else stats just don’t matter lol. Like if two players have very similar resumes but one player played much longer and he holds records no one else does then that has to be factor in to some degree or why else bother keeping stats.
The part they’re missing is he played at this level and above for the longevity. It’s not just years. Also being one of one in several stat categories instead of team and coaching.
He can get 50k points, doesn't really matter. Stockton's got like 5,000 more assists than Magic, that does not make him the GOAT PG or the GOAT assists guy.
Great achievement for playing 20+ seasons. One thing that has never changed is for any professional sports league, we play the game to win the ultimate prize, the championship!
He's the Wilt of this Era. Steph beat him like 3x for his rings. Lol
He's still more accomplished than Steph. Steph also had a better team.
Rob had to move the 6 championships goalpost to an 11 championships goalpost...... 🤔😂
Yeah lol i lile mj but even i saw that was stretching it thin lol
Well, it does beg the question: Why does James have 2 bronze medals in international play? The best player would never let that happen.
Well, it's not really moving it. It's just listing all of his championships/gold medals and Rob actually missed one but it's all good. LeBron has won some gold medals too but he does have those 2 bronze medals. Those count as an L (gold or nothing). Kareem didn't get to play for a gold medal but he has won a few NCAA championships.
@@mvpfocus Exactly...he didn't win gold until Kobe decided to play and I couldn't stand Kobe but I knew they would win then.
No stat Bron attains will move the needle. He's never had a shot at the GOAT throne. His poor fundamentals, weak mentality...along with bad footwork, no post game....& his refusal to play defense. His game has too many holes to be considered the GOAT.
This is the biggest achievement of Lebron because this record is going to be his for a long long long long time but for the GOAT debate doesn't do anything a new ring would maybe mean something

@@cheerioss-9121 yes 'maybe'. Because if the Lakers were to win a chip AD would have to be the best player on the team.

The problem is we never expand the conversation. What actually makes someone the goat? It’s no real criteria other than people’s opinions. We can’t just make MJ’s career the criteria.
Why not?
@@Avarice-Zero He’s flawed like every other player. Let’s not only highlight his achievements when there are multiple players that have achievements that are just as impressive if we’re looking objectively.
@vonc5 True. But the reason his career has been looked at as the criteria is due to the flaws, the failures, achievements, accolades, losses, and wins. He has stats and trophies to go along with the storybook grind from the bottom to the top. He didn't take shortcuts to victories. There is a reason you didn't see Bron and KD crying after winning their first champship because the feeling of accomplishment wasn't earned. 2016 was earned, and that why you got raw emotion out of Bron. You'll get the same reaction from KD if he wins again without the Warriors. Jordan had all the ups and downs, all the losses and wins, all the stats and trophies.
@@vonc5 Nope now you are trying to change the criteria to fit whomever your guy is. it doesnt work that way. Goat criteria isn't MJ career, but MJ is the standard because he checks ALL the boxes! offense, defense, accolades, closing mentality, Highest player efficiency in NBA History,
@@norwoodhammond650 he’s not the only one that checks all those boxes is what I’m saying.
The real question is why are media folk afraid to just be plain and blut about Lebron.. but choose to soften the ground when criticizing him.
At the rate players are scoring today with the 3 point shot, I wouldn't be surprised if someone else surpasses 40,000 points in the next 5 to 10 years. But no, Michael Jordan is the G.O.A.T hands-down. Lebron is a top 5.
MJ is the Goat....you right the way today are scoring Luka could get aleast 30,000 and I would say Anthony Edwards could get 35,000 the way he been scoring and it's only his 4th season averaging almost 30
Chris out here lookin Casket Clean with that hair dye
Biogenesis. Debate closed
The fact that Jordan was so wildly popular worldwide with only newspaper/cable tv is crazy. Its hard for the younger kids today to understand how big MJ’s impact was. The Last Dance showed a glimpse of it and his still ridiculously popular Jordan brand does as well.
Does he lead even a single stat per game?
Let’s not forget that when Jordan was scoring the floor was much smaller since most of the points came from the paint and mid range. LeBron has had the luxury of spacing for most of his career making scoring much easier. Not many people talk about that.
To say that it doesn't move the needle is to say that prolonged excellence doesn't matter *at all*. If it matters even a little bit, then of course it moves the needle.
Rob talking to the Titan fan and wishing him good luck (genuinely) made me LAUGH OUT LOUD I am not always a Rob fan but to hear him talk to the fan like a normal casual talk and still give his opinion but still be respectful to the guy and his team. Definitely a point in my book for Rob I would approach him and say hello now haha! Be more respectful to my man Chris come on! 😅
I agree with Nick on the peak stuff. MJ didn’t just play 6 seasons. He had incredible seasons before he started winning, but no where near what LBJ has been doing.
Lebum can play for a few more years, just don't expect a lot of wins 😂
Kinda like how Jordan stopped winning 15 years in 😂 at least Bron is in year 21
@@shemmcetoogreezy4639 lebum winning? What's lebum win loss record?? Clueless aren't you😂🤣
@@thecliffsview lmaooo you oldheads need always crying when anyone mentions Bron 😂 it’s funny asf! Ohhhhh noooo I’m sorry we spoke about you daddy Jordon
@@shemmcetoogreezy4639 what's lebums win loss record again? The topic was winning kiddo 😂😂😂
@@thecliffsview dementia is kicking in I see, check up on that grandpa!
It don’t effect the goat debate . Fanboys will think anything will. Lebron sustained high level for a long time yea … but depends what your opinion on high level is … lebron doesn’t play defense , and takes breaks on the court , he doesn’t give the game 100% … obviously he’s not playing the game to win . Just achieve as many stats as he can cuz he knows he can’t get more rings .
they say they dont hate Bron but they clearly do lol
Broussard, talk about the PEDS! Its a automatic disqualification from any GOAT talk!
Question...Why isnt Julio Franco the Goat of baseball? He played until he was almost 60. Valenzuela pitched when he was over almost 60 years too.
Most Field Goals:
1. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, 15837
2. LeBron James, 14677
“You play to win the game…hello?” You don’t play for stats but for trophies, for winning.
