The game of Basketball has been my passion since I was 5 years old. I grew up as a kid watching my dad's recorded VHS tapes of playoff games through the 70s and 80s, and collected all the Basketball cards. Something about the game and what it represents just hooked me from a very young age.
My love for the game only continues to grow as time goes on. I love studying and analyzing the game, with an unbiased perspective. Feel free to subscribe, follow me on social media, and celebrate this amazing game and it's rich history with me!

MJ is my GOAT. Who's yours, and why?
Jonny Arnett -NBA CZcamsr Michael Jordan.
Jonny Arnett -NBA CZcamsr the White Mamba aka Brian Scalabrine
Jonny Arnett -NBA CZcamsr MJ, because of all the things this video said
is so much easy to play d in the 90s cuz all of the players always drives and go to the post rather than todays game so many screens and 3s its more hard to play d in todays game
and played againts less all stars check
There was a moment in time I believed lebron was better than M.J. until I stopped watching ESPN and did research. M.J. is the is the G.O.A.T. period.
Danny Green Is A BRICK that’s like saying what does Kareem have to do with Wilt when it comes to comparison. Lebron is typically compared to Jordan. Just because they’re not the same height or position, they are gonna be compared. End of
Danny Green Is A BRICK you’re just supporting his point. Jordan is compared to everyone who has an argument for GOAT. In this era, Lebron is just the leading candidate to the GOAT convo. Plus this video is about GOAT so it has a lot of things to do with lebron and Jordan.
Danny Green Is A BRICK “Typically” the top two all time players amongst fans, media and other basketball watchers, is argued between Jordan and Lebron. Therefore it makes sense that somebody would mention the name Lebron in a Jordan video. People always mention Bird when they talk about Magic. Admittedly for different reasons, as they played each other, but they are mentioned together nonetheless. The fans and media will compare MJ and LBJ for talent reasons etc. Don’t blame me for simply explaining the situation. I’m literally saying it how it is
@Danny Green Is A BRICK lol. You dont even believe your own words. It has everything to do with Lebron. Lebron is the self proclaimed GOAT and kids like you believe that.. So this vid based on the GOAT has plenty to do with LeBron. You see the connection.
@Danny Green Is A BRICK when you stop acting like this has nothing to do with Lebron ill stop saying you believe Lebron is the GOAT, alright. Non stop ESPN, LeBron better than Jordan. non stop comments on Jordan vids, Lebron the better than Jordan. non stop 20 year olds saying Lebron better than Jordan. Lebron James himself saying "That made me the Goat". You, what does any of this have to do with Lebron James?. Really, GTFOH! LOL

Lebron win rings win 3 different teams so Lebron > MJ

LeSwept had to go to teams with 2 great players to win.... Jordan didn't
3 Titles, retires, comes back 2 yrs later and wins 3 more
6 rings, 6 MVPs....NEXT
@@joeclayton2121 cleveland had only him and kyrie, Lakers had only Bron and AD, only Miami had Wade and Bosh. So what is ur point, casual?
@@youngboy2pacdrake do you really need it spelled out for you? you went to public svhool right?
Jordan stayed with the Bulls and helped build it to a Championship team
LeFlop only cared about what he wanted, not his team. me me me me me and you know it
now that's my point and opinion and i don't care what you think
@@joeclayton2121 Are you clueless? Jordan wasn’t the one making trades to make “his” team better, it was the people who work with the franchise.
"He's the best athlete - he's one of the best competitors - he's one of the most skilled players, and that, to me, makes him the best basketball player that I've ever seen play." - Bobby Knight, 1984, before MJ even played 1 second in the NBA.
The one fact that I learned in this video which proves Jordan's dominance over LeBron once and for all, was his stent as the point guard in the late '80s. Think about it. The guy gets like 15 triple doubles in 24 games. And he averages over 30 points a game while doing this. That's insane! If he was orchestrating the offense like LeBron did for his whole career, Michael Jordan might have averaged a triple double for his career.
@@paysonfox88 Right?!! I love that fact. & As a rookie he led the team in pts, rebounds, ast, steals, and came in 2nd to a 7-footer in blocks. Reminds me of another Knight quote, when his ‘friend with a high draft pick that year’ told him “we don’t need a guard, we need a center,” Bobby told him “play him at center!” 😁
MJ’s Goatness is undeniable.
Before watching this I thought to myself " I havent seen a video that actually explains why Jordan is the goat ". Most videos are just " 6 for 6 " and "killer instinct". This is the best "Jordan is the goat" video on CZcams.
And it's not even close. Such a concise argument......or lack there of.
Bro watch Dom2k’s video on the matter
czcams.com/video/tl3mR6eoEa8/video.html Thy this one. It goes through all the stats and its clear taht Jordan is the best
fk the stats just watch the man play and decide for yourself...the mans game was beautiful...killer...competitive clutch as fk!

One of the greatest sports analytic videos on the internet.
MJ is the GOAT. By far!
It's not even close. There shouldn't be a debate.
True. But people like to make things interesting.
My go-to argument against Bronsexuals on Twitter now (besides 6-0, 3-6) is Jordan's stretch playing at PG under Doug Collins. I never seen that broken down like Jonny does here and I'm amazed by that. If Jordan played the game like LeBron, Westbrook, etc. plays the game now he'd easily have 3-5 year stretches averaging a triple double WITH 30+ points a game.
I don’t think Jordan is the best player or james Jordan is definitely the most influential
Popi ReAL so would you still have Jordan as the goat if he was 0-6??

That music brings me back to my living room as a kid. The nerf hoop on the wall. My bulls Tshirt on. Ready to watch the Bulls dominate. Man I miss those days.

That Mj rookie vs prime mvp Kobe stat is mind blowing!
Kobe obviously did better seasons
Keep in mind that the pacing was higher in MJs era so if you put it in per 75 Kobe would probably average at least 5 more ppg
@@carinsurance8930 doesn't change tha0e fact that Jordan was a rookie doing that and not in his prime like kobe, which is the entire point.
@Max Jacob Ishimwe that wasn't his mvp season though 🤔
@@carinsurance8930 the pacing was barely a point in favor of jordan's era per team. Check the numbers and adjust and mj still comes on top.
This new generation is just CLUELESS about Michael Jordan. Jordan is the greatest ever. Lebron should not be mentioned in the same sentence with Jordan.
Yeah sorry if we couldnt watch mj before we were born, sorry if we only get to watch kobe and lebron dominate this ere, yall oldheads take everythinh negatively though its just an opinion
@@johnpower4542 na u just sound emotional lol
JOHNPOWER454 It’s not just an “opinion “ though, y’all Lebron fans dickride lebron soo hard that even he him self called himself the greatest of all time 🤣
iiTragiiKz that doesn’t make an ounce of sense. Bad joke.
iiTragiiKz first of all i hate lebron, respect him tho. Ur the person who cant take opinions ey?
What a fantastic breakdown. The stat about MJ's rookie year having identical numbers to Kobe's MVP year is ASTOUNDING. I will say this as well. MJ NEVER backed down. He never got lost in the bright lights of the big stage. Lebron is my 2nd favorite player of all time. I rooted for him his entire career and I still root for Lebron. He is a great human being. And a great role model. But Lebron had moments where he didn't show up even though he was by far the most talented player on the floor. I'm not questioning his heart but it's undeniable that he had moments where he over-thought and under-played. Jordan never, not even once, didn't leave it all on the court. NOBODY matched his drive. NOBODY matched his heart. And NOBODY beat him on the biggest stage.
Well said
I lol'd at great human being
hypocrite lechina
I don't see how you can say that LeBron James is a great role model are you shiting me look at how he has disrespected law enforcement he has destroyed the NBA and has destroyed the Lakers name never again well I want an NBA game or root for the Lakers never again
Both in prime kobe would beat mj, kobe has 81, 62, and 50+ streak, kobe is the only player win a couple chips with different star mj always has pippen, I wouldn't credit much on the 2nd 3-peat coz the bulls is a super team, too bad for kobe that he was stuck with a bad teammate in his prime and control his ability by phil Jackson he could have 100+ if Jackson unleashed him, he could have 9-10 chimps if Lakers replace shaq with a star, kobe is the only player who took over the game (g4 vs pacers) at the age of 21 (mj didn't, by playing in college mj has an edge by experience) btw I am as old as mj and they are both my favourite player it's a continuation of basketball greatness, entertainment, competition, from mj to kobe, but in their prime I choose kobe, overall its mj coz mj knows his strength and maximize it.
@@frazeirarabbi6047 Kobe ran up the score. MJ would often sit on the bench in the 4th quarter of the Bulls many blowout wins.
damn dude you should talk on ESPN about this to make kids know the facts !!
PREACH
They don’t allow people to appear on those sports shows who speak facts like this guy you have to say what they want you to say!!!
Agree 100% most insightful commentary on the goat discussion I've ever heard.
Yooooooo this is great!!! They're trying so desperately to get us to believe Lebron is the greatest! Every week there is a new narrative shannon, collin, and nick wright try to come up with🤦🏾♂️
They don't because it would only expose how weak mj's era was
This is the MOST FACTUAL analysis I’ve seen regarding MJ V Lebron! It is extremely thorough and based on data and facts. I also like how he broke down the difference in their positions; especially how Jordan didn’t play the point. Then he compared the 24 games when he did under Doug Collins. Very well done...CHECKMATE!!!
This man is incredible
After 20 years since he retired we still talk about him
You did a great job buddy! I say all the same things constantly... all that needs to be said is this: 1988 Jordan was mvp, defensive poy, scoring champ, 1st team all NBA, 1st team all defensive, all star mvp, now go ahead 10 years and in 1998 Jordan was mvp, scoring champ, 1st team all NBA, 1st team all defensive, all star mvp, finals mvp while winning the chip at 35. NO ONE WILL EVER DO THIS AGAIN!!!!!!!
There was never a debate....
Arthur Dalton NEVER!!!!!!!
FACTS especially now that LeBron adds Anthony Davis to the list of all stars he has played with...🤷
I don't know. You have that hater Charles Barkley who is mad that Jordan whooped him in the finals that says that LeBron is the greatest
Thank you
@FOM FamilyOverMoney haha hilarious. ahhh the jokes
MJ also had Kobe's stats as a ROOKIE!!!!! Do some of these fans out here know what that even means or looks like?? Unbelievable!!!!!
Its a thing of beauty, savage,skillful,graceful, totally dominant and second to NONE. MJ #1 always
That's bullshit, first of all I want to say that I think Jordan is the GOAT and there's no discussion there. The problem I have is that joke of a point he was making with the kobe MVP Stat, a few minutes before he was talking about how stats can't paint the picture completely regarding how dominant you game actually was or is because there are factors that can't be taken into account from one generation to another. For example (and I hope he likes this) here's wilts rookie stats 37.6ppg 27rb 2.3ass and here's MJs 1998 MVP season 28. 7ppg 5.8rb 3.5ass, you see the problem with the picture you're trying to paint? + his own rookie stats were better than his MVP season, that doesn't make him a better player. This is the same thing that LeBron fans who seem to not understand that these are just stats (which are good indicators but not everything) try to do to prove his point.
Kobe as a rookie has a higher 3p% than Michael Jordans first 5 seasons.
Rookie MJ had Kobe's MVP-year stat line but at 50% shooting 😮
@@thinkingoutloud2225 rookie mj w 51% lead his team to a 38-44 team which was good enough for 8th seed in that time 🤣🤣
don't even compare Rookie Mj to Mvp Kobe. its not a debate. Kobes mvp season lead lakers to the finals having Gasol for only 27 games, also with Bynum & Ariza out for the entire season & did it on 45%. Kobe at 22 yrs old avg 28/6/5 to 21 yrs old Rookie Mg 28/6/6 .
An took a team to the playoffs as a rookie that hadn't been there in 5 yrs.
Oh man, Johnny. That music. It just takes me back to that time of complete awe, respect and disbelief of how good that man was. I'm so glad I was born in 79 and was able to follow the majority of MJ's career.
You will only see a Michael Jordan once in a lifetime,, I feel privileged to have lived to see this man play.Jordans vert and free throw line leaps his style and clutch plays you will never see that again EVER!!
I think Anthony edwards might be the next competitor of that level.
Jordan was at 50.3% shooting until those Wizards years.
MJ 23-GOAT but still he kicked ass bro! 😊
50.3 percent of what?
It wasn't efficient shooting.
Great points and actually common sense, but there are so many people that judge MJ even though they have not seen enough games of him. The media only keeps these comparisons of todays players to make these guys look more significant. Michael Jordan kind of destroyed the game, cause he was one of a kind, lightyears ahead of anybody else and nobody ever since was even close.
@@simplekindabb LOL. Care to. Elaborate?
Ummm
Just to sum up the key points in this video;:
Michael Jordan has the greatest career scoring average of all time at 30.1 points per game. And that's in an era where hand-checking was allowed.
Michael Jordan has the greatest playoff scoring average of all time at an insane 33.4 points per game. No other player has ever averaged even 30 points per game in the playoffs.
Michael Jordan has the greatest number of career season scoring championships at 10.
Michael Jordan has the greatest number of first team all-defense team appearances at 9. That's almost twice the appearances of LeBron James who had five.
Michael Jordan has the most finals MVPs of all time at 6.
Michael Jordan was undefeated in the finals going 6 for 6 and winning six championships in eight years.
Lebron James lost 5 of 8 NBA Finals appearances.
Michael Jordan, of the top 100 scorers of all time, essentially has the greatest field goal efficiency of any shooting guard of all time, at 49.7. Technically, Walter Davis is ahead of him but Walter Davis has 10,000 fewer points, and eight fewer shots per game. Of the top 100 scorers of all time, LeBron James field goal efficiency ranks sixth out of power forwards.
Michael Jordan has the highest player efficiency rating of all time, at 27.91
Michael Jordan is third all time in terms of steals. LeBron James has played a hundred more games than Michael Jordan and yet has six hundred fewer steals.
Michael Jordan as a 6-foot 6 shooting guard averaged more blocks per game than LeBron James who is a 6 foot 9 power forward.
Michael Jordan won Defensive Player of the Year, LeBron James never once won that award.
Michael Jordan holds the record for the highest scoring playoff game ever. He scored 63 points in his second season in the league, after just coming back from a broken ankle, against one of the greatest teams and one of the greatest defenses of all time, that being the 1986 Boston Celtics .
Michael Jordan is by far a better on-ball Defender.
Michael Jordan, at age 35, was first team all defense, the best defender at his position, first team all-nba and all defense, the league MVP, won the NBA Championship, and won the finals MVP. LeBron James at age 34 has essentially stopped playing defense for the past several seasons and is a defensive liability.
Michael Jordan's averages for his rookie season are superior to the statistics Kobe Bryant put up as a seasoned veteran during his lone MVP season
Kobe Bryant averaged 28.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.4 assists, on 45.9% shooting during his MVP season.
Michael Jordan averaged 28.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, on 51.5% shooting his rookie year.
Michael Jordan is a career 84% free throw shooter, while Lebron Lebron is a below average 74% Free Throw Shooter.
In sum, it is simply beyond debate, as demonstrated by the statistics, that Michael Jordan was not just better, but clearly a far superior player to LeBron James. And this especially jumps out at you on the defensive end.
On any given night Michael Jordan was the best player at both ends of the court, on offense and on defense. That is simply not the case with LeBron James. Not to mention him losing 5 of 8 Finals he appeared in and Michael Jordan winning going 6 for 6 and having twice as many championships.
Anyone who argues that LeBron James is a better player is either delusional or simply willfully ignorant. There is just no case you can make that LeBron James is better. None.
Did you just say LeBron was a "liability"? You know what that means right you fool? Teams can seek him out defensively one on one and attack him, that's not a "LIABILITY" if hes lazy on team defense and not taking the best player you idiot.. Look how hes defending today with a real defensive coach/team around him for the first time in YEARS. You people exaggerate to shit on LeBron on "defense" and its pathetic as it gets. That's b/c you know hes better all around at everything than Michael but scoring/stls.
Far superior passer.. The ignorance in this fucking video as well, keeps talking as if LEBRON came up in this 'inflated stats' era 😂😂😂 or was EVER the "point guard" before this season.. if LBJ played in the same exact era as MJ, and played the point as MJ did in 1989. he would average BETTER assist numbers, far better rebounds as well. He was averaging 30 PPG IN FUCKING 2005. Yet hes saying "Guys like LeBron, Harden, and Westbrook 🤓" LeBrons literally 35 YEARS OLD in this era. This guys an old time clown for even making the comparisons between LeBron and Harden etc... Harden could never average what he does now in 2005.. the game was different. 2005 wasnt much different from 1990's...
The Fact you're so fucking ignorant to write this comment only 3 months ago, like he is not playing GREAT DEFENSE now, almost prime level defense is just fucking pathetic as well, it shows LeBron could've done this throughout the entirety of his career if he wanted to and been ALL DEFENSIVE level.. You dont just fucking LOSE your ability to defend on one end and still be dominant physically, it was clearly caculated. Not a "Liability". Like how dumb and ignorant can one fanbase be??
Clearly he was holding back another gear on that end for 'several seasons' in the regular season b/c thats how shit the guys around him were, and he felt he needed to shoulder a bigger load on those teams in Cavs uniform.. Just delete your comment you homer, b/c I saw your weak ass comment, you made most of this comment all about LeBron comparisons, but tried to sound clever and cute with big words.
You clearly have hate for this player and 'are willfully ignorant' over LeBron. Sckening how dumb and biased a Michael Jordan fan always is when it comes to this guy. Keep lying to yourself, delete your comment its sad! LBJ Is an amazing all time defender and better than MJ at EVERYTHING on defense besides on ball defense/stls.
Xanninja someone is salty after watching this video 😬 it’s okay you can face the fact that the real number 23 is the greatest player ever 😌
@@user-ns7np3pu1x Bro, there is no 'fact' to the who the greatest is 🤣. The uploader was sickeningly bias and misinformed misleading. LeBron is inspired by #23, he was the greatest. MJ is the easy "GOAT", the real NBA fans not garbage MJ fans who can think the game, know it is not so easy! We will all get salty b/c of how often MJ fanboys bring up LeBron James, and shxt on guys like WIlt/James/B. Russell etc.. MJ is nowhere near the clear goat to real NBA fans, it's sickening how you guys talks. OVERRATED
Xanninja he’s not just the goat because of his accolades but also his impact on the game
Without mj, the nba wouldn’t be anywhere near as popular as it is today and that’s a complete fact.
Mj is a better offensive and defensive player than lebron based off accolades. It took lebron years to catch up to mj
Only thing lebron has over him is assists.and then again this guy that uploaded the video explained why Jordan doesn’t have as many assists as he was capable of
@@thetf8142 Crappy video, cant go off anything he says if you're objective. MJ is the goat, the EASY goat.. people who think the game harder know it's not so easy.
Easily one of the worst most biased videos, but i'll give the bitch credit, he brought up the Real Goat more than he did MJ.. He came at it from some brand new angles which i can respect but he was so biased in his wording makes me purge. Any dummy who thinks "why Jordan doesn't have as many assist" was explained correctly in this video needs to stop watching basketball. The dumb- - failed to mention, before it was "inflated stats" LBJ put up 8.6 apg in 2009, won 66 games and MVP. He failed to mention when MJ did put up so many triple doubles as the Pg, HIS TEAM WENT 42-40 that season (MJ played in 81 of 82 games). He's nowhere near the passer LeBron is, don't let Mj stat padding fool you..
Jordan PASSING THE BALL PRIMARILY WAS NEVER A FORMULA FOR *LONG TERM* WINNING (11 apg in 1991 Finals 5 games vs bad defense) - While LeBron passing has always been a direct formula of winning. The lower his assist the worse the team is playing.
LeBron James leading the offense primarily for the 2nd time in his career, led to a #1 seed and Assist title..
Again It's the most biased video, if you're objective, and know LeBron and MJ's career fully, know 90% of what he saying isn't valid. And to compare LeBron's role or stats to "Harden, Westbrook" while knowing LBJ was hardly the point guard initiating offense like Harden or WB for 14 of 17 years, knowing LBJ started in the LEAST offensive era ever (2003-2009) not the inflated Harden era, you know this bitch is too ignorant/biased. :)
6 out of 6 with no losses and played flawlessly on most games. Why would you dare to compare him to other players?
Right. And to top it off, after the first 3 peat, he retired. They didn't win. He comes back and they resume winning. That means those rings were mostly about him!
MJ's foot broke so he broke an NBA record to get even
And got swept
Corey Freeman by an a Celtics team with 5 hall of famers at least he he he went in the playoffs every year in he’s basketball career unlike lbj who had to wait three year to go to the playoffs and get beaten by a weak Eastern conference team in the playoffs
DarcyíKING exactly lebron was really out here facing kyle Lowry and the freaking Toronto craptors to make the finals
@@darcyiking8932 LeBron had literally no real teammates for most of his career
George Washington what are u talking abt he literally had more HOF teammates than MJ. And if u wanna talk abt “MJ had Pippen” not when he made the playoffs for the first 3 times. MJ>LBJ
"This is clearly why MJ is the GOAT." Bulls intro starts playing. End of discussion.
And the SpaceJam theme!!!
I won't lie it gave me goosebumps ☝🏿
I just got used to them being dogs. Now they are goats? I guess if u remove the R at the end u can call them whatever.
Yeah hes the goat of old nba,but lbj is the goat of modern nba
@@andresvm6356 JORDAN GOAT
I still find it shocking that this is even a debate. Of course he is the GOAT.. This video sums it up perfectly. There isn't anyone close.
Lebron is the goat and your old head mind won't recognize this so it wouldn't matter
@@vjemmie4484 LeFraud ain’t the GOAT
@@vjemmie4484 even a 15 year old also clever enough knowing lebron isn't the goat
@@vjemmie4484 LeBron tries to beat MJ stats to say he is the goat, in other words, he tries to be better than MJ so could be considered the goat. That by itself should tell a lot about who the goat is.
But as the video says, game stats are not the only way to determine the goat. Championships, MVPs, awards, rookie season, everything counts
LeBron is ahead in some game stats by a little margin, because he played twice times more than MJ. And because they play on different positions as the video says. So, the stats for Jordan position are way more impressive.
No hate for le Bron, I am ok with the fact that he is the Greatest player of this era, nobody beats him, nor even Kobe. But MJ is a one of a kind, guy did it over and over again and changed the game forever. MJ is the goat basketball player ever and that's it, like you or not
MJ is the GOAT, but Lebron, Kareem, and Bill are close
"Jordan has 6 rings!" That's the only argument you have? "It's the only argument I need Shawn!!!"
Robert Horry has 7! G.O.A.T.!
David Dooling robert horry was a role player
@@lajuan He was obviously a role player. It points out the flaw of the rings argument. Horry has 7. MJ has 6. Technically you could say that Jordan was a role player. His role, as the best player of his era and possibly the G.O.A.T., was to play within Phil's system, with an all-time great teammate, and a very solid supporting cast. Before Phil, MJ didn't win. With Phil and Scottie, he won. He was a role player.
David Dooling according to your logic,every player was” a role player”,but the last time i checked,the nba gives out some thing call finals mvp, I wonder what % of ‘role players” have that
Boys this is a Jason Seagle quote from a movie, lets all get along here. It wasn't meant to start a debate lol.
MJ has the best argument for GOAT consideration, yet he also played in the toughest and most physical era. Undisputed GOAT
SedaW LoL false indeed he is the goat tho but he didn’t play in no crazy era
@@why3643 He played in the most physical era, with many rules which made life of an offensive player way harder than today. The toughest era in basketball was from 1980 to 2000, give or take 2 or 3 years. Also, other players were very talented, skilled and definitely more physical than today, but he was just so superior he often made it seem like he was playing against some scrubs, when in reality he was competing against the best and most elite athletes in the world. You see many former players say MJ would have averaged 50 if he played in this era. Why do you think that is? He has the highest per-game points average in NBA history, with 30.1 points a game, not even Wilt averaged that and Wilt played in the weakest era, yet MJ played in the toughest era and still has the best numbers. That's just one of the many reasons he's the undisputed GOAT
He played in the worst era of shooting gaurds in history in the 90s
SedaW LoL lmfaooo bro what if u was guarding Jordan and he destroys u ur teammates can’t help u at all that likes playing 3v3 in the hood u for ur 3 and they got. There 3 but one of there 3 is a little kid who is getting destroy and u can’t do shut cuz they will call if u try to help wow is so hard is like playing 1v1 in a 5v5 and there are more skilled players I doubt it our era has some of the most deadliest and skillful talented players not saying last era they werent but not as closed as this one not only that majority of the good players that played in this era either fell of or lost to injuries sucks but is true and more physical I doubt there was ever a time when basketball was more physical slow pace and fast ok I can accept that but I don’t bealive any era was more physical so we live in a bitch era yeah cuz of the new skill that has been shown that is what they do they replace hand checking with flopping is a new thing know sucks but o well so is easy for guards to go to the line with that bullshit
SedaW LoL and lml no wilt actually is the highest person to score more then hen 30 intact he had more 30 50 and 60 points games then Jordan in fact there was a year and which he avatar 50 points hwas at whole year Jordan could not even do that lmfaooo is highest was 36 and that’s it wilt is another lvl when it comes to scoring thank god there wasn’t award if not I think wilt would had 20 scoring titles
I don't know how anyone uses the athleticism argument when LeBron Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in their athletic crimes lost to an old Dirk nowitzki and old Jason kids and am overall old and unathletic Dallas Mavericks
Excellent point
One of the other knocks about Jordan's titles is "he beat old teams", yet that same logic is never used towards LeBron. So if Jordan's first title against the Lakers is downgraded because they're "an old team", then shouldn't LeBron and the Heat beating the Celtics get downgraded since the Celtics were an old team as well? Shouldn't his loss to the Mavs be considered even worse since the Mavs were the older team(oldest in the league that season, in fact)? What about the loss to the 2014 Spurs since the Spurs were the older team as well? If Jordan beating older teams is considered bad, then shouldn't losing to the older team be worse?
The whole "Jordan only beat older teams" is overplayed anyway. The Bulls were the younger team in all of the first 3peat and the older team in all of the second 3peat. In the first 3peat, the only age gap of significance was to the Lakers. Against the Blazers and Suns, it was such a minute difference that they might as well have been the same age. It's also funny how they'll call Stockton and Malone "old as hell" when Stockton was only 1 year older than Jordan and Malone was the same age(if you wanna get technical, Jordan's birthday is 5 months before Malone's so he's technically older). LeBron fans love grasping at straws to find any edge to give LeBron over Jordan, and that's exactly how you know that Jordan is the GOAT.
@@davidmartinez52420 I agree, that crap about "Jordan beating teams only after they got old" is a FALSE NARRATIVE.
@@leighwright3450
Agreed, but then they turn around and say the Spurs in 2013 and 2014 were a dynasty with 4 hofs 😂.
Modern fans arguments are just projections...
One of the greatest videos to ever analytically show why MJ was the greatest by far. I respect all other great players but having watched most of them no one comes even close.
I just have to say, the side-by-side comparison with Kobe, using Jordan's rookie numbers next to Kobe's MVP numbers was just insane! Jordan's non-MVP year (1989) next to LeBron's first MVP season is also very enlightening. It shows, in part, why Jordan is the GOAT.
To be fair to Kobe, Jordan played 3 years in college and was a national champion. He wasn't what the typical all-star rookie looks like in a modern league. It's still very impressive, but Mike wasn't like... a kid.
@@ghostaccountlmao To be fair? He is going with Kobe’s MVP season no his rookie year.
@@ghostaccountlmao You are missing it. Jordan's rookie year would best several of the prime years most all-time greats have EVER played. Period! He wasn't comparing Jordan's rookie year to Kobe's rookie year. He was comparing Jordan's rookie year to Kobe's MVP year. That's crazy!
Those Jordan point guard numbers, thooooooooough! 😱
Reminds me of Westbrook's numbers. Except way more efficient scoring and better defense.
yea, those PG numbers are pretty damn insane.
Absolutely agree Jordan is the best NBA player ever
almost 2 years later and this video is all i need to see to know who the goat is
This is the best Jordan GOAT video I've ever seen. Obviously some stats, while ridiculously impressive, have too small a sample size but overall I've never thought that it was such a massive difference between MJ and everyone else
Man so well put, the rookie mj-prime kobe comparison was great never thought of that. Mike is the G.O.A.T. nobody else is even close
Kobe himself has had better seasons stat wise than his lone mvp season.
deevzrivera but mj better
@@deevzrivera that's not the point of this.....
@@frogyparra4645 debatable
Anonymous User nah nah cap mj the best remove mj no kobe kobe a copy of mj but just worser if that makes sense also lakers had refs by their side sooo that too
Some people like to argue that Jordan was successful in the 1990s because he had the best team, unlike LeBron for most of his career. Well, this is a bad argument for two reasons: 1st, the Bulls were really the best team, but one of the reasons for that was ... Jordan himself; and 2nd, being in the finals with the best team does not guarantee victory. LeBron made four finals with the best team and still lost two of them.
Its the same reason I can't hate on Golden state for being too overpowered...they worked for that (KD aside) and so did the bulls. Teams are SUPPOSED to work hard and become way better and from all indications Jordan is a major reason that happened.
lebron is a loser, that's why, he rides people to finals and gets pretty numbers for himself because he doesnt know how to play off-ball and have a true system than his own
@@jespacey#1 did Magic Johnson play off ball?
#2 wtf is a "true system" if the man has won everywhere he's gone? What winning team doesnt have a 'true system' bozo?
#3 how with a straight face can you say a player with this many mvps and rings, flat out doesn't 'know how' to do something in this sport. You're so salty lmfao. Not knowing how, and just choosing not to do something is two totally different things in the NBA casual.
@@jespacey What people did LeBron ride to the Finals when you can't name any player on his team who made the Finals without him...??? Wth are you even saying embarrassing MJ fan, you hate that man Bron so much you woke up, clicked an 'MJ goat' video and had to revise history to make LeBron going to 10 Finals something negative with a fake fairy tale... You're obsessed bruh, take LeBron meat out your ass.
"he rides people to finals" The player whos teammates have never even made the Finals w/o him. The 5x Mvp. Is a "loser who rides people".
No MJ haters is this pathetic or delusional, why can't Bron haters be real lmao.
Somebody take the computer from this obsessed bum.
I would say the cavs in the 14-15 season were better than golden state if Kyrie and Love weren’t injured
Everyone also forgets to mention that he retired and played a high level of baseball during the prime of his basketball career
Bobby Knight complimenting MJ hailing him as a GOAT while still in college=another reason Isiah Thomas hates MJ 😑
"Who do you draft at #1?"
-Bobby Knight "Michael Jordan"
"What if you need a center?"
-Bobby Knight "Then you draft Michael Jordan and play him at center"
When it came to coaches, MJ wasn't picky about who until he won multiple rings with Phil Jackson.
People forget that MJ was basically a coach's wet dream.
He also didn't like that he lobbied against Isaiah for the Dream Team. But, when you try locking someone out in an All-Star game, you're just asking for it.
Rob Pr actually MJ didn’t really say he wouldn’t play with IT. Chuck played a bigger role in IT not being picked. They had a falling out in 91-92 as IT accused Daly on concentrating to the US team vs his obligation to the Pistons.
GREAT VIDEO. THE MEDIA DON'T UNDERSTAND BASKETBALL. MICHAEL JORDAN IS ON A LEVEL BY HIMSELF.
Well said Sir !!!
Had prime Kobe numbers rookie season that's ridiculous
Well mj might be the greatest but don't get it mixed up, the media dickrides him like no other
True, and it is not even close. People can argue all they want about who the best is: Wilt , Kareem, Kobe, Lebron, Magic, Bird, Robinson, they are all bias...overall statistical analysis of players' stats show that he is the best by a wide margin, not even close. For example: Kobe's highest shooting percentage is equivalent to MJ lowest shooting percentage (not including his wizards years), highest PER of any player that ever existed, averaged nearly 40-points a game in the Finals (against the the second best team in the NBA) with the hand-check rule intact, etc...
Anybody has the balls and the brain to conduct a statistical analysis using MJ numbers against other players?
The media is full of Jews telling the sport commentators what to say, they don't even know basketball as much as fans...Look at 2007 for example, no one on ESPN or any other media outlets predicted the warriors would beat the mavericks, yet almost every NBA fans that year were certain it would happen, and it did.
He was helped by Commercials and MEDIA ! BIRD is as good or better. Both are GOAT IMO
Jonny Arnett I'm so glad put that bulls into eye in the sky song there at the beginning. That music always gives me chills. Makes me miss the bulls days bro. Its like you hear that and know that the best player to ever step on the court is about to. "At guard from North Carolina..."
Frommmm North Carolina...at guard...6'6" !!!!!
I have to say, this was the best Jordan analysis I have ever seen in my lifetime
Nice job! I've always been a Lakers fan and loved to watch Magic & showtime but MJ was on a different level. His multifaceted skill set was better than anyone we've seen to date. MJ is the GOAT. Great vid!
Skill Set?
This video is going down as one of the best, if not the best arguments for Jordan of all time.
The thing that puts mj over lebron is his defense. Bottom line.
And his accolades, and his clutch genes.
And his scoring. And his loyalty and character. And his influence on sports.
Much more than that, they are not close
Also MJ's flops.... oh that's Lebrons thing. My bad sorry
The eye test
Watching him play is amazing and heartbreaking at the same time. Just knowing when your team made it to the finals they had 0 chance against MJ puts it in perspective. 100% win rate in the finals is just insane.
Lol You killed me with the Colin clip and the spongebob music 😂
To hear anybody say anybody but Jordan is the goat just reminds me of how quickly people forget.
I could say the same about my personal favorite MJ, one Earvin "Magic" Johnson
Crazy how you say that but u forgot about Wilt. Wilt is better than Jordan as hard as it is to say.
He’s probably the best player but he ain’t the GREATEST player
King Might that statement literally makes no sense!
Mark Rebok Magic was before my time but he was my dads alltime favorite but I grew up despising Jordan and was a Kobe and Shaq fan but Jordan is the best player I ever seen.
That 90’s Bulls intro still gives me goosebumps. When they played Seattle, in the finals, it was so loud that it didn’t even make sense. Then he said “...from North Carolina”, I couldn’t believe it but it got even louder.
The way Jordan destroyed NBA greats in those olympic collegiate exhibition contests pretty much sums it up. Many forget Jordan should have more 2 Mvp's, 3 more DPOY, etc. He got robbed in 97' for Mvp, 1987' for Mvp & DPOY, etc. He should of won DPOY at least 4 times. There was no shooting guard in history more deadly on the defensive & offensive side than MJ.
Lebron wishes he could make his gameplay as beautifully as Jordan did!! Jordan played in a tougher era and still made it look easy his trick layups and dunks were a thing of art
MJ is easily the GOAT. He had the best combination of Athleticism, skills, defense and competitiveness of any player ever.
One more thing:
INTELLIGENCE!
And HEART. Cant teach heart but Jordan had it

I didn’t need convincing that MJ is the GOAT but great video
And non of them had to deal with the pressure he created for himself....Basketball blew up because of him worldwide! Players salaries in all sports blew up because of this guy. Hell I flew half across the world to see him play I even forgot to see the rest of chicago.
Watching this video makes me feel sad that I didn’t watch M.J play in his prime.
Bro and not only was he undefeated in the finals - NO TEAM EVER EVEN TOOK THEM TO A 7TH GAME IN THE FINALS!!!!
Actually ......3
He also missed the finals entirely in 1995, in the middle of his prime
Mr.E not his prime look up his interview after that loss to Orlando. Jordan played less than half a season and... just look up the interview. All I can say he backed up what he said and 3-peated again
Mr.E: Bron lost to a way worse Orlando team. Shaq/Penny>> D12 orlando. just 1 star & he aint Shaq lol

The timing of the beat and mj's passes or shots are insane. Gives me chills bro.
What i like about mj is that hes a lock down defender, besides if jordan played in 94 and 95 season im sure he would won 8 straight finals..
I doubt it . Maybe won 4 in a row and took a L in 95 but we will never know
Trent Leboeuf he took a L in 95 because he was rusty. Remember he got off to play baseball in 94, so that was 1 whole year without playing ball. He came back 95 and was not the same. Took a while for him to come back and busted ass in 96.
@@mista_mask3163 I'm saying even if he didn't take a break . He had a high chance of losing those finals if he was to make it . Dream Hakeem won mvp dpoy and fmvp no one has ever done that all in the same year except him. It's just speculation . But let's just say mj won 6 in a row I highly doubt 8
@@relatablecontentissues6703 The Bulls would have easilly won that lockout season as well if they didn't split the team up, and possibly one more after that before MJ got too old, but even as and old dude with f**ked up knees, broken ribs and broken fingers he was still by far the best player on the Wizards and still amongst the best in the league. I wish he'd joined the Lakers instead of the Wizards because he'd have three more, but that's not his style. He liked to compete against the best rather than team up with them, unlike the GLOAT who's only managed 3 rings in 17 years... Bit of a LeJoke that people even compare him to Jordan.
@@relatablecontentissues6703 Mike won MVP, DPOY, Scoring champ and steals leader all in the same season. That's insane! Imagine if he had a good team around at that point... 82-0!?...
This is the ultimate detailed fact providing video on why Jordan is the GOAT!!! 👍🏽👍🏽 way up!
This is the most insightful basketball video I have ever seen. I’ll admit it, I’m a Chicago native...so I may be a bit bias...but this video proves that not just on a judgement basis, but even on a non-bias statistical and analytical basis, it’s quite clear that Michael Jordan is the greatest player of all-time. 💯
MJ is better at basketball, than ANY athlete has ever been at ANY sport.
I’m grateful that I witnessed it all. I’m grateful that my dad bought me the shoes. I’m grateful I was in Chicago Stadium at game 1 of the 92’ Finals. To this day, seeing 35 first half points, was the best live sporting event experience of my life.
Great job! I have made the same arguments for MJ over the years. Just think of this fact alone... he has 6 finals MVP awards which is the highest honor an NBA player can get. It not only shows he won a championship, it also means he was the main reason why. Who's in second place with that award? Shaq, LeBron, Magic and Duncan who all have 3. HALF of what MJ has! That alone makes him the GOAT but there is so much more like his unique ability to raise the level of his game at will. Look at the Jeff Van Gundy game, the George Karl game, the game where Jerry Stackhouse had been talking trash about Jordan prior to it. He scorched everyone and anyone who would badmouth him and was the only player that people were literally afraid to trash talk! He could just turn up the jets any time he wanted to and I don't know of another player who had that ability to that extent. He could also raise parts of his game at will while still maintaining his regular stats. Look at the 1991 finals where he averaged 11.4 assists to offset Magic Johnson, the 1992 finals where he hit a record breaking 6 three's in a half when they said that Clyde Drexler was a better 3 point shooter, the 1993 finals when Charles Barkley was the league MVP and was putting up crazy scoring numbers in the playoffs so MJ averaged 41 against him in the finals! The list goes on and on. That man was something special. GOAT!
That Bulls game intro soundtracking a montage of vintage MJ highlight plays with the foreboding vibe and the palpable sense of theater coupled with his undeniable charisma and off-the-charts swagger just gives me chills everytime, no matter how many times I watch this video. Thank God I had the opportunity to watch the 90's Bulls during their heyday. The treasure trove of memories and moments they left on my then impressionable mind are just priceless.
I loved every second of your video!
All stats and trophies prove that.
And you didn't even mention his influence on all the basketball players after him and the game itself,
his inventiveness,his mastery of the basics,his mindset and spiritual dominance,as well as his impeccable playing style which was a pleasure to watch.
Just the most beautiful thing to watch in a basketball court.
Haven't found anything similar since.
Looking in from the outside ie New Zealand. I ask myself, If I wanted to WIN a NBA final series, who would be the first person I would pick. MJ has a 100% win record in NBA finals' series with a 100% NBA finals' MVP. No one else can say that. It is a guarantee that MJ WINS in a NBA finals series. Again, no one else can say that. MJ is the GOAT.
Thanks.
Probably the BEST explanation i’ve ever heard on this PATHETIC debate. Michael Jordan is by far the GREATEST player EVER!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT video, awesome stats and breakdown, especially the comparison with Kobe’s mvp season and Mj’s rookie season.
Mike led his team in points rebounds assists and steals as a rookie SG
2nd Team All Defense
2nd Team All NBA
1st Team All Rookie
-Michael was eventually voted the League’s Rookie of the Year
Jordan's rookie stats were also better than Kobe's MVP season. Amazing.
He also led the league in total points his rookie year.
28/5.6/7 on 57% FG
1984/85 season
His determination and grit alone makes him a goat.
Micheal should of been 1st team all nba. With the numbers he put out, are you kidding me? Smh
MJ was like a pro boxer.... not so big (muscle), but very very strong, ripped...like Bruce Lee, light and terribly strong, and im very very sure he had tons of hours working in his skills, that fade away jumper was a master piece
I watched him play, already knew he was the goat. Then you watched these videos and you are even more amazed by Jordan.
I have been watching basketball since the mid 70's and there have been been so many great players who have contributed so much to the game in that time. Bird, Magic, Kareem and Dr. J. are right at the very top in my opinion and Scottie Pippen is my personal favorite but with all due respect, Michael stands alone... This was a nice video to reinforce that opinion. I am always open to someone getting knocked off the mountaintop but in this case, I cannot foresee that ever happening, ever.
Scottie's my favorite as well. But as u said, MJ is G.O.A.T.

Who else saw the final shot against the Jazz?
I did. Only now am I realizing just how legendary that was. There won't be another moment in history to match it.
One of the most innovative players, was top tier when the game still had a reasonable amount of grit in it, and had stats and athleticism that was out of this world! He cared more about the team being the best that they can be over just straight up winning which to me is the cherry on top of it all! This dude is an absolute legend, and if you had the privilege to watch this dude in his prime years on live tv you were truly blessed. The 90s were a blessing in itself!

@@curtis2609 you should ask the players in the league who know more about basketball in thier little finger than a busload of little kids in thier whole bodies
the actual players of the NBA TODAY were asked last season after LeBron self proclaimed himself GOAT to vote who is Greatest Player of All Time, to settle the matter once and for all
72% voted for Jordan while only 11 % voted for LeBron even though they play against James every season and get to see him play. most of the players who voted were born after Jordan retired and never got to see him play in person and these guys know the real deal about basketball, not what some tv announcer says that could be made up
As a lifelong basketball player, I just want to point out something that is often implied, but not focused on: Jordan's cardio. To play that hard, both ends of the floor, and be able to elevate the way he did all through the end of the game, is almost inhuman.
When you're a little kid dreaming of playing basketball, and in your mind you're unstoppable, hitting game winning shots, and winning championships because you're just this force of nature that can't be contained....That's what Michael Jordan was in real life. It's extremely difficult to make someone who didn't watch him live understand what he was like.
