This debate was 10× more competitive than the all-star game last night smh...
😅
You win Monday
True!
😂
W
The boy shannon said Mike didn't eat anything the first eight years. What he was vegan😂😂😂
He was waiting for them boys to get old.
But it took LeBron 9 years to break through 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@markgraves2192na w he went to finals in year 4
@@markgraves2192We all know LeBron is human and have his ups and downs, but Jordan fans act like he was a God that couldn't lose when mattered. The people are just trying to prove Jordan fans that he was mortal by bringing up how he got swept alot in the 1st round etc in the 80s. Bron wasn't getting swept in no 1st round, he made a finals in his second post season appearance. Bron fans just want everyone to know MJ is not as perfect as many thinks he is.
@@caliba100exactly that’s all honestly 😂😂😂😂
Perk low key dropped the mic at the end with his final statement "And they might not leave" lmaooo
Subtle death threat lol
😂I love Perk, I was hoping someone caught that
“UNCROSS YOUR ARMS” took me out😂🤣
"the man fasted for 8 years. and he aint eat nothing.....was he vegan ?!" 😂😂😂😂
Yo, I don't know how long Unc been sitting on that one, but he shot a half court 4pt play with that one. Lol.
How Jordan could fast for 8 years if he already was 2 rings and 2 FMVPs after 8 years. My thing is if guys like Shannon gonna discredit the man at least get the information right
ngl that was funny asf 🤣🤣🤣
@@suntansuperman26Jordan got drafted in 84 and didn’t appear in his first finals until 91😂😂so yeah he was fasting for 7-8 years lol try again
@@montrellbrowningIt took Jordan 6 full seasons to win a ring........
Perk is me sitting at my computer just randomly chuckling every couple minutes
Bro perk be killing me😂
Nice line of work if you can get it.
As soon as I read this comment I started laughing then Perk started laughing 😂 that was funny af 😂
These three is just what we needed! 🤣👏🏼
Bro the media ran with this question. All bird was saying was appreciate the greatness of Lebron and he’s in the conversation for the greatest ever. That’s it.
NASA could report an asteroid coming, and you’d see First take…what does this mean for Lebron and MJ?
@@BigstickNick 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@BigstickNick" Breaking news, who has the better chance of winning against this incoming asteroid? Who will 'Space Jam' this asteroid and save Earth? History shows on the Grand Stage of performance, MJ's perfect NBA Finals record 6 of 6, will be this asteroids, Last Dance. On the other side, LBJ knew this asteroid was a threat and will make 'The Decision' to take his talents to team up with the USAF's Space Force and show that Asteroid whose the King, LBJ's odds are 4-10. Who will be the Greatest of Asteroids Taker-outters!?
Exactly

Lmao sas right tho

Skip was sick to his stomach seeing Bird say that.
Skip felt the pain of someone passing a kidney stone after the comment from bird😂😂😂

Lebron ain’t the goat 😂 still

“Imma look red next to y’all any day of the week” 🤣🤣😭😭😭😭
This is my uncles at the cookout 😂
"It's written in blood" dude Shannon is killing me
That's why he's LeGay
He did sign it in blood
that scared em😂😂💯
He was talking like a rapper at that point, lol.
Shannon basically told on himself when he said that Lebron signed it in blood because Lebron sold his soul to the devil. Lebron also is a part of the Illuminati and killed Kobe because Lebrons legacy was not as great as Kobes so I'm not surprised at all
This debate will never end 😂
Bec of LeKlutch Sports members 💰 in the media!
When LeBron finally retires then many of them will vanish from TV. Finally 👏🏾
Not even close to MJ .
@@tltarzan678you don’t even believe what you’re saying.. plz stop talking for shock factor
These two have the best GOAT debates. Funny without putting down the other player 😅
I'm ending it today because I'm the GOAT lol
This debate is fun to watch no matter which side you're on.
Boy Shannon got me crying laughing lmao. Boy said was he vegan🤣🤣
"The man fasted for 8 years, he didn't eat nothing" 😂😭😂😭
Just like LeBron did for 8 years through the WEAK EAST 😂
@@Mercurial.so the 04-06 heat were weak, 03-05 pistons, 07-10 celtics etc?
@@sunnydreuxth East was weak when lebron went back to clevand
Compared to west, yes@@sunnydreux
@@Mercurial.🧢
“The man fasted the entire 80’s was he VEGAN” yo Shannon is the GOAT at punch lines
Shannon is The GOAT of one liners
The entire 80's
What did he mean by that?
@@shezadm6300 he didn't win anything during the 80's
Stupidest take ever. The East in the 80s was one of the toughest conferences ever. Get real. MJ is the GOAT.
The main issue with these debates is whatever side you're arguing for people tend to try to diminish the other side to make their side seem better, even if it's not intended it comes off that way EVERYTIME
Big Perk's laughter really makes this 10x funnier lol
Perk at the end saying “and they might not leave” lol😂😂😂😂
Don’t go to Beaumont tx they built different dine there
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I heard that FAAFO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You're right, we are! 😂
I love these three together 😂😂😂espn has got a gem of a cast
Facts 😂
Perk is trash
Till SAS get jealous or challenged and gets rid of one of them
“I’m going to look red next to Ya’ll any day of the week anyway!” Dead 😂😂😂
Stephen A was already bothered as soon as Molly read Birds quote smh
These two have the best funniest GOAT debates. Lighthearted, without putting down the other great player 😅
Exactly! This is what Skip never understood and that’s why his best on air counterpart walked away. Even while SAS is yelling his points you can see how much he was enjoying this “argument”. That makes it so much fun to watch. Skip’s GOAT debates used to make me cringe and I usually turned the station or fast forwarded when he was getting disrespectful and personal.
Shannon was putting down Jordan the entire segment
@@kevothegoat9891fax they act like MJ didnt average 43 against Bird 😂😂 Then one of those games he dropped 63 on em😹😹
@@MunnaWill07 He definitely did what he could but Lebron dropped 40 just last year against the Nuggets in year 20 and got blamed for getting swept 😂. Same when he dropped 50 against the Warriors.
I can tell you’re a lebron stan since you obviously didn’t hear shanon and Perkins attempting to diminish Jordan.
This joker said, HOLD ON BIG PERK..I PITY THE FOOL "!!! 😂😂😂😂. This is pure gold.
This is perfection.. good entertainment fellas. I felt like i was at the barbershop.
That was a barbershop conversation if I ever heard one! 😂
“And they might not leave” 🤣 Perk is hilarious
Unc Minority Report reference was cherry on cake for me😂😂
😂😂😂 that took me over the top...i love that movie
@amrey3628 Agree , great movie I had to rewatch it again 😆
@@raymondknight5931 I was no older than 11 when it came out & my pops rented it from our local video gallery. Blew my mind & got me into dystopian science fiction novels, shows and movies. They tried a tv show that was after the events of the movie and I was so disappointed lol
😂😂😂 I couldn't stop crying of this segment 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man.. Both players are all time great and very blessed to see both of them play... This should be on ESPN classic i cant stop laughing this was the best mj, bron debate ever
This was the best segment between these 3😂😭
This trio is TV Gold 🤣🤣
The 4th lady was getting no screen time 😂😂 she was like, "why am I even here?"
It’s not Gold!!!! Not even COPPER 🤢🤮👎🏾
@@tribalchiefcg yes..2 guys yelling at each other is NOT good content !
One of the best first take segments iv seen in a while 😂
This is great content😂😂❤
1:15 SAF breaking out into impersonating UNC and Perks face is GOLD.....GOOOOOLLDD hahahaha 😂😂😂 And the RED comment at 5:35 😂😂😂😂 These barbershop brothers...I'm here for it. Protect this trio at ALL COSTS!!
No one likes Stephen A or Perk. Shannon the only one that should be protected at all costs
Perk just giggles every few minutes😭
8:54-8:58
“Hold on Big Perk. 🗣️ I pity the fool!” 🧔🏿♂️
_That Mr. T reference._ 🤣😭
Had Shannon Sharpe give the donkey face laugh.😭
This segment was🔥🔥🔥
Larry Bird is a humble legend that appreciates talent. Hate or love him, LeBron has been dedicated and still working hard after playing 20 seasons. Very impressive. 😊
Lebron is trash, go cry about it 😂😂
@@ClarenceisgoatMJ stans are weird 😅
You know Stephen A very upset with Larry Bird for throwing a bone to Shannon and Perk. 😂
This reminds me back in the day being at movie theaters in Pottstown PA.
The first 30 seconds of this segment and I'm already laughing 😂
Perk at the end, "And they might not leave" 😂😂😂😂
The pistons haven’t been part of a conversation in a while 😂😂😂
@@yengvang8737who beat everyone on the dream team…#11 Isaiah Thomas 🏀🐐
😂😂😂this whole segment was hilarious 😂😂
That was fun 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"And they might not leave". Help lool
Tom Cruise in The Minority Report 😂😂😂😂
This is definitely the best debate for this subject ESPN has had, instead of comparing jordan/lebron to 2016-2017 warriors, digging deeper and comparing what is a more difficult, playing the 2007 spurs or 80s pistons/Celtics, for the first time in my life I am stumped
Tim Duncan and Spurs were on a run but you're right 80s Piston & Celtics are also dynasty teams too. That one will have to be truly debated and dissected but if I was a betting man, I don't know if I could bet against Spurs but then again how can I bet against Pistons or Celtics, you're right I'm stumped too😂
It really depends on which rules we're playing under.
The way the Pistons played defence in the 80s was outlawed in the 90s, let alone the 2000s. Not to mention people forget there was no zone defence before 01', so just based on that, we'd have to say the 07' Spurs were the best team defensively just based on the experience they have running zones, not to mention the length and size they had.
Based on personnel, the 86' Celtics were probably the best team on offence with Prime Larry and co. but overall, I'd say the Spurs dynasty Lebron had to overcome was greater than the Celtics or Pistons dynasty. The longevity and basketball they played were absolutely phenomenal, just watch them play in 07' vs 13-14', two very different styles but mastered both, that versatility alone makes me think the Spurs were tougher to get through.
@@Roxas-ph3te That's probably the biggest thing when it comes to the Spurs. To me Tim Duncan is highly underrated when it comes to people mentioning adaptability and being able to win in every decade he played in with the leagues playing style changing probably more than any other era. Late 90s, 2000s, 2010s. In 2010s alone, the league changed at least 3 times. I would probably pick the Spurs to win too. I think people are waiting to say Pop got lucky though but if he wins again with Wemby, it's a wrap. Even if he gets close, there's nothing else that could be said.
@@Roxas-ph3te Yeah that's valid, pistons likely wont win unless it's 80s rules, and honestly a young ginobili is going to match if not be a bigger threat than everybody on the celtics besides bird without even mentioning tim duncan or parker, but then again nobody is going to just go out there and smoke a 1986 bird idc who you are, but i could see 07 spurs coming on top after a hard fought win, definitely took a while to find an answer for this one
@hakshustletv Agreed. Really just depends on how long Pop wants to coach, I have no doubts that if the Spurs draft well over the next couple of years, which they usually do, sign a big free agent and make some good trades they can make it back to the finals.
Perk had a point when he mentioned the 04 pistons. That team was nasty.. Good luck scoring 80 on them any night 🤘
“And they might not leave” was a cold line to end it
They need a show with these 3😂😂😂😂
This def the best first take combo lol
They have a show with these 3. It's called First Take.
I agree
@@FruitMonger360was gonna say the same lol
@@FruitMonger360😂😂
My god heaven for bid an NBA Legend give Lebron a complement 🙄
Especially an NBA legend who played against who most people call the GOAT
Exactly! Mj can get showered with praise to no end but let bron get a simple compliment and everyone has to dissect the compliment
Shannon is a national treasure 😂big love from the UK was a great take.
"And they might not leave" had me rolllinggg
The fact they just spent 10 minutes talking bout Ben Wallace is crazy. The 2007 pistons didn’t have Ben anymore. That was the Chris Webber and Mcdyss version of the team. The best defensive version of the pistons in that era was 2004 through 2005 season
2004,2005,2003 were fantastic defensively plus 2007 they got more offense with webber buy not the sam defense 2004,2005 are better defensively than any bad boy era prince,and the Wallace and Billups were to versatile in any position compare with the piston also probably the best coach ever Larry brown
The 05-06 Pistons was probably the best Pistons team in that time period. Unfortunately Larry Brown was gone by then
Ctoppidcommennts
I’m surprised SAS didn’t bring this up. Seeing Shannon get emotional over Lebron is so aggravating
People seem to forget this. Great point. Also IMO yes the 04-05 Pistons would be able to bang with the OG bad boys.
Perk is so funny …”and they might not leave”
Yeah, This Is Peak First Take ESPN right here.
The reason why Larry will always be my top 5 personally is because Larry attitude was pitch perfect. You can’t get better going into a Locker Room saying “Alright who’s winning second place?” In a 3 point contest n wearing warm up clothing in it 😂💀
Today was the day Stephen A almost lost all of the rest of whats left of that hair.
😅😅
LOLOLOLOL!!!!
Time for the hair club for men or maybe a sew in!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
Shannon a legend for that vegan line 😂😂😂😂
I love watching them argue 😂
that minority report reference 😄
This was hilarious 😂
It is always an honor to watch Lebron James play!! He will be missed!
As much as everyone hate on em
@@Snipeee215People don’t hate him, they just get tired of Lebron fanboys like Shannon Sharpe, Perk saying that he’s the GOAT over Jordan
I’ll miss him but I won’t miss his fans. They can go.
@@user-lt1fx2he5syou sound like a Jordan fanboy no?
He'll be missed? for not joining the 3 pt and slam dunk contest which he could be the GOAT but no, he cannot manipulate 1 on 1 contests. 😅
Ngl this was one of the best debates I’ve seen😭😭
The fun part of this show is just starting 😂😂🙏🏼
Years ago I used to buy into the media narrative on "Nobody ate in MJs era" until I found out about Magic, Bird & Isaiah.
And all the other greats that played along with these players as well.
@@lajuan3474 And on top of that, I should have realized they were lying from day 1 when they first started that dumb narrative. Because I started watching the NBA in 2000. My favorite duo ever Shaq & Kobe, also won when Jordan was still playing too! Lol. The media guys always try to cherry pick stuff. If you call them out on it they're gonna shift it to "nobody ate when Jordan was winning." Then if you mention Hakeem they will shift it to say "nobody ate when Jordan was winning and playing full seasons." They don't even realize that fans of other superstar players that have won titles could use a similar slanted argument that they use. Because essentially what they don't realize is they're pretty much saying nobody was winning when their guy was winning... which is basically the same for a lot of other all time greats... once somebody is winning somebody is losing obviously. And they ignore the fact that it wasn't only Jordan that was playing great for the Bulls.
They had better teams than MJ. Jordan was the best player in every playoff series he played in. The Celtics swept the Bulls, and Bird called Jordan god.
@@diegobromfieldJordan with the wizards really? Everyone ate on lebrons watch
@@carloszepeda8960 Well yeah he was still in the NBA. You see this is the dumb part of the argument because you guys keep shifting the statement. I can say nobody ate when Shaq and Kobe were in their primes, healthy and had a good team around them. I can say nobody ate when KD and Steph were together and healthy. I can say nobody ate when Bill Russell was in his prime and had a stacked team around him. Its the same thing. I'm not just talking about LeBron. I'm saying the dumb narrative Jordan fans use can be used on a number of other stars because all they do is single out specifically the years he won the championship. Lmao. 6 years was not his whole career. Nobody ate when Popovich don't sub Duncan out late in the game of a finals.
ben Wallace gave nothing offensively but Stephen mentioned Dennis Rodman?
🤣🤣hilarious segment
The uncles at the cookout man 😂 this is beautiful to see
This was hilarious, I'm ready for this.
Larry Legend has SPOKEN. And he's exactly right. Appreciate Bron while we got em now stop hating, his greatness cannot be denied.
Love these guys man!!!!
It would be amazing to get LB in the studio please 🙏❤😊
Perk’s laugh is too funny 😂
"nobody is critiquing LeBron in year 21" lol what... it's like Skip Bayless just doesn't exist to them anymore.
Bruh, have you watched Undisputed this seaaon? Skip hardly criticizes Bron anymore. He gets overwhelmed by Keyshawn and Sherm's Bron fanboyism. Skip is a super liberal, he's backing Bron more now.
lol Lebron been getting passes his whole career,
@@QuestionEverything562skip used to criticize Lebron
@@kohsmoger1567 I know. Skip used to be Bron's biggest critic. However, he knows which way the wind blows, and he's jumping on that super libtard express that ESPN runs. The sports media is mostly left leaning, so LeBron is their poster boy. They have to continue to push Bron's phoney GOAT case. They have bigger political plans for LeBron James. ESPN uses LeBron's "Social Change Internet personality" as a type of criteria for his phoney GOAT case. When it just comes to their basketball careers, Bron has absolutely no case for GOAT over MJ. Great longevity doesn't beat a great long prime full of three-peats.
@@QuestionEverything562bro what lol do you think the earth is flat too?
When someone says, "Wow, really?" In person that means you about to get snuffed. Lol.
They are all greats. 5his was a fun watch 🙌🤣❤️🔥
Did somebody even watch Bird, Reggie and Isiah talk? They werent making any list or whatever, more they were saying that people are bias naming their eras and players from their eras as the best ever.
Those guys have always given credit to the new era. I remember Zeke went ballistic on Charles Oakley for saying he was better than Giannis 😭
Bird doesn't have to say anything. He was passing out brooms to Jordan. Two of them to be exact. 🧹🧹
The man fasted for 8 years. 😂
1:13 - 1:16 Unc had me cryin!! lmfao
😂😂😂😂 Unc is everything on this show. I've never seen Stephen A laugh so much.
As a Detroiter, its hard to to compare bad boy pistons to '04 pistons. They were both DOMINANT DEFENSIVELY. Both putting up a match vs Jordan AND Lebron
1:25 look how big Shannon eyes got when he said it’s written in blood 😂
😂😂😂😂 now that's funny af
This is the best debate since I’ve seen Lavar on the show 🤣🔥 love to see it!
This trio is hilarious 😂
This debate i wish was longer
These debates be funny !!! But glad they all friends at the same time
This segment 😂😂😂🙌🏼
"Its written in 🅱️💯👌🏾" 😂😂Unc a fool wit it fr!
Lmao I’m here for the friendly banter
Yeah these two have the best Goat debate. Funny as hell
Unc got me dying 😂😂
KP look like that character David Alan Grier played on Dance Flick. 😂😂
We needed a 20 minute segment with them
The issue with stephen a is that he says lebron being 2nd "Isnt an insult" and also says him being 1st is "rediculous." Whaaaaaaaat????
Thats my problem too. How can it be out of the question for him to be Number 1 but u have him at number 2… the gap is not that big to be that overwhelmed with emotion ab it
It’s very big he’s played longer than Jordan and Kobe and still chasing them
@@rakabyeBecause he isn’t as accomplished as the person people trying to put him over, that’s why him being number 1 sounds crazy to people especially considering he’s playing over 20 seasons
@@suntansuperman26 there are players with more on their resume than Jordan outside of the top 2…

I can’t tell the last time I’ve that other network that Skip Bayless is on.
Salute to Shannon Sharpe, Stephen A. Smith & Kendrick Perkins. 🫡
And the never ending debate lives on lol 😂
