Will LeBron lead the Cavs to the finals?
Yes he will make the finals. Lebron has taken his game to another level. The way he's playing it highly possible that he win his 4th ring this year.
Yes he will take the Cleveland Cavaliers to the NBA finals LeBron James is mvp
it's going to be tuff , Boston is not playing and they look hungry to. and btw Jordan had way more help than LeBron ever had.
Yes because no one on the east could stop him...
Yes and then lose in 6 to the warriors, there's jus not enough consistent help to beat the warriors
Steve Kerr has had the most help in NBA history
Ying Li bruh.. swea. Even as a coach
He is the common denominator in all instances... he might be the reason why all those guys had success 😂
@@sandernista6499 He's been known for clutch shots too. He's like a Kyrie Irving in a Mario Chalmers body
Agree. Both as player and coach. Blessed white boy Steve!
Or robert horry
Skip is teaching me how to listen to my wife as she yells at me: "mm..hmm...yeah...hm..ok..yep...mm.."
😂😂😂
Lmfao 🤣😂🤣
I love it
'....mmhm interesting...'
lmao
before every argument they both always say "okay hold on, help me out here" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😭💀
🤣🤣😂😂😂
Skip lies when he says that no player was an all star before they joined Jordan because Rodman was in 1990.
Cowardly Lions
Only reason Pippen wasn’t one is because he was injured. He had played 14 games before the voting and STILL came in 3rd.
@Dats a paddlin In 92-93 with Jordan, Pippen averaged 18.6 ppg and in 93-94 without Jordan, Pippen increased his ppg a whopping 3.4 ppg to 22 ppg. Yea, it looks like Jordan was a ball hog lmao.
Exposed!!! 😂🤣😂🤣
@Dats a paddlin bj was never an all-star and LBJ played with players batter than Pippen namely Wade and Kyrie
Kevin Jackson lebron goat
Skip: Jordan had no help, he carried the bulls
Also Skip: The Bulls were loaded, easily the best team of all time
The term you're looking for is "role players".
Take Dennis Rodman for example. The man was one of the greatest rebounders and hustle players of all time. He was a hall of famer. Yet only average 7 Ppg for a career. He also never averaged even 1 block per game or one steal per game for a season his entire career. Yet was considered an elite defender, and won defensive player of the year 2 times, because he could get in the oppositions head and was good at taking charges. His impact on games could not be measured by stats alone. That is why the Bulls are still considered one of the best teams to ever do it.
On the defensive side the Bulls teams were amazing. On the offensive end they basically had Jordan and Pippen with role players. A guy like Dennis' main role on the offensive end was to grab offensive rebounds.
2 face lol
Dude ✋ Stop
Lebron James carried numerous team's he's been on now he can play how he want for real lebron Lakers
Miami Heat and Lakers really look at that roster and you will know who had more help..
Don't let Skip fool you, Scottie got hurt and only played 44 games in 98. That's why he didn't make the all star team
exactly. skip and shannon talk about things with no regard for context
MJ never had a teammate avg more than 22 points in his career and hes won a title with his 2th best player avg 12 points a game
@@tyronemonsanto3090 who? scottie pippen's points were only diminished because he played next to an all time great scorer. and don't even talk about 94-95. it looked like scottie held back a little, not playing to his fullest. pippen was the 4th selected player for the dream team, the previous being mj, bird and magic. the man almost became one of the few in history to ever win dpoy and mvp together. he was 3rd and 4th in 94 and 7th and 2nd in 95
@@knicks8099 Pippen was great with MJ and After MJ left in 98 he never again made in All star selection and Wade won a ring without Lebron and Bosh was an all star before he Join Lebron in Miami too
@@knicks8099 Bron played with 14 all stars and MJ played with 6 all star
Fun fact. This just popped up on my recommendations nearly 3 years later in 2021.. AND I SWEAR TO GOD, at first I thought it was a 2021 topic. BECAUSE THEY ARE OBSESSED WITH TALKING ABOUT THE SAME THING DAILY LOL
I like how Shannon weighs in on Rodman for winning 2 DPOY awards BEFORE joining Jordan. I wonder if he keeps the same energy about the 3 time DPOY Dwight Howard who was part of Lebron's 2020 championship team
I think Rodman did more on the bulls than Howard did for the lakers tho.
@@jeremykrause153 probably. But my point is, there’s no reason to mention their past achievements in a “who had more help” debate. It’s what they did during their years with Jordan/LeBron that matters.
@@loukaspappas8476 I agree
Sports debate shows are a great example of how you can find or twist statistics to create any narrative.
Absolutely. But, it shows that stats aren't everything. It's not all about analytics. You have to produce. You have to win. You cant just build up amazing stats and get the same level of appreciation. That's not a slight at any particular player. But, I think the media makes analytics the entire arguement sometimes. When it shouldn't be.
Well said
CDH Imagine how much politicians twist statistics to fit their narrative
Pretty much Skip's career. Reduce the argument down to a single data point and make it everything. He's worthless.
@@JonSmith-hk1bq 💯 FACTS
Its funny how most of these MJ fans underrate Scottie so much.
James Burgess and it hurts me as a Bulls fan who had Scottie as my fave player..nobody wanna respect how good he was.
James Burgess it's funny how bronsexuals think pippen was that dude. When he wasn't, pippen couldn't shoot and couldn't score in the clutch. He went to central Arkansas lol
It’s funny how LeBron fans overrate Scottie so much. Jordan made Pippen look like one of the all time greats. Pippen only averaged 20 points or more twice in his career with Jordan. When LeBron has that for his best teammate people act like LeBron has no help.
Scottie better than Kobe....
When MJ left the bulls they went from a 57 win team to a 55 win team. When LeBron left Miami they didn't make the playoffs. Anyone who would take the Miami team over the 95 Bulls is crazy. You're talking about 72 win team with Pippen and Rodman.
Jordan was surrounded by great players because he made his teammates better. Look at Pippen when he first entered the league vs Pippen when the Bulls won their second championship. Scottie Pippen deserves all the respect in the world as an NBA legend, but don't tell me he didn't become a better player by being alongside Jordan.
Jordan didn't make anybody better. If he did, then how
This debate didn't age well
Lebron James had way more help than MJ Uncle shannon
Lmao you mad bruh?
@@shubhamkumarmishra3942 how is he mad?
Explain why LeBron has more help ? because *"he played with more all stars"* right ? what a dumb take, awards are media voted, a player's on court production, impact, physical abilites on court are what they actually are without an award, an award does not change what the player did or caused on the court.
Seems like this kid was born yesterday. Try watching some other sport coz basketball aint for u
LeBron needs the help because 1 he's getting old and 2 there are other super teams in the league so for him to actually have a chance to win he has to get help
I love Jordan but don’t disrespect Pippen, he is an amazing player
Orlando Z88 I’m get’n sick of that $h!t, was second in MVP the year Jordan left
Cashflo Digital Sports Network - CDSN He was 3rd... The same way y’all Lebron fans disrespect Wade (who was better than Pippen)... Disrespect Kyrie who averaged damn near 30 in back to back finals... Disrespect Bosh, Ray Allen, and Love.... Stop it.. Pippen is a top 50 player of al time and a HOF but only because Jordan made him that... He was trash when he first came to the Bulls and wouldn’t have been a HOF and top 50 player without Jordan... Wade was already a HOF and established player without Lebron
MINK FACTS!!! Wade proved he could win without LeBron. Pippen couldn’t win without MJ at all.
Bruce Rivers Facts Wade was a finals mvp, and a NBA champion way without Lebron.. Pippen isn’t winning a ring without Jordan
MINK 💯
scottie pippen wasnt an allstar in 98 because he was injured and only played 44 games and didnt start his season until january... the allstar game was in Febuary. He played 14 games before the allstar game. He was still third in voting among forwards with 475000 votes

ufster81 wanna know how good Dwayne Wade was without Lebron ? Won finals mvp averaging 33 ppg Lol
Benjamin Franklin this was before lebron got there wtf. 😭 After bron left wat happened to dwade?
Don’t forget about coaching staff. Phil Jackson was who made Jordan so dominant when he introduced the triangle offense
Statistically no, Jordan's stats was far better with Doug Collins. In terms of winning yes, but remember it was Jordan who made the plays not Phil.
@@alfarouqaminufor3892 right! Phil made them a team but Michael was most dominant in the late 80s under Collins!
@@samuelgustafsson2322 most dominant yes but they were going nowhere
you forget why its called triangle offense to make way for jordan doing 1 on 1. thats how dominant he is. triangle came from doug collins. not jackson and jordan.
Jordans most dominant individual years were pre phil jackson! The triangle actually made jordan less dominant but the team became better! He learned to be a better team player through Phil and the triangle! Its partly Lebron fault that he doent have great coaches and that he hops grom teams to teams to better his chances for winning a chip! Plus dont act like everywhere LeBron goes his teams have always been great and have always catered to his playstyle! Plus you really cant really build around LeBron on the long term as he has the mentality to go to another team as he sees fit! He has always had great teammate except for his first stint in Cleveland or after Kyrie left for boston!
The thing with Jordan was that he did make a lot of those players better. He was super strict with everyone on the team, as much as he was on himself, and the players trained like they were maniacs because Jordan was a real psycho, breathing down their necks. Of course, a few of the players didn't need that motivation, they were already super tough and played hard. But Dennis Rodman, and Scottie Pippen, Steve Kerr, they all were whipped by jordan.
And Lebron never pushed any of his teammates. He either had them traded away or he left.
@@gdiggedy9 Good luck trying to push Love and Irving, Jordan would have put them both in the insane asylum.
Michael Jordan averaged 28 points in his rookie year bruh
pramey tripathi with checks
He was literally playing against mail men and truck drivers😂 let’s be real on his level of competition
@@dahc0023 So a prime Larry Bird was a mail man? Yeah, you don't know basketball 🤣🤣🤣
@@dahc0023 kids today like karl malone is a plumber ahhahhahah like they are there when had played
Jon155 you literally named one player lmao. Any person with half a brain could see how the game has evolved from the late 80s early 90s MJ was one in like less than 10 people with decent agility and athleticism
How is this even a debate? Dude literally left a team to join a super team and still lost.
How is this even a debate - Lebron left a team that was a ONE seed with him and then became a LAST seed without him, and when Jordan left his team they won 50+ games and almost made it back to the finals SMH
JDawOfficial You act like bron won a championship with that Cavs team. If you compare Bron's championship team to that team then bron had more help. Twisting the narrative to fit because at that point that team had already won 3 back to back titles of course they were better than the 06 07 Cavs guy. Your rebuttal is invalid.
I'm not acting like they won a championship with that team?? What are you even talking about? Just putting words in my mouth. Not twisting the narrative - HE LEFT A ONE SEED AND THEY BECAME A LAST SEED because that team sucked - a team he played on for 7 years, not one, that he somehow dragged to a finals. And you are the one "twisting the narrative" - yeah they had won 3 straight.. because of how much help MJ had which was clear after he left. What happened to the Miami team that Lebron left that had gone to 4 straight finals? Answer me that? Oh yeah, they sucked without him. You're whole position is invalid. Cop an L
JDawOfficial he dumb asl they had shaq and yung wade come on now and bosh wasn’t even on the team bring Came and they got bosh from raptors dwade was by hisself so is y’all forgetting tht too?
Not too mention he still carried the HEAT WHEN HE GOT THERE ALSO
That’s easy, it was LeBron. He played with at least 15 all stars, 15 Olympian, had over 100 trades to help his team. MJ never cried for help. Scottie was coming off the bench MJs first chip.
I got to say these two guys are good together. Thanks for a wonderful show. Keep up the good work!
Pippen became good with Jordan. Wade was already good
KYRIE BECAME GOOD WHEN LBJ CAME BACK & HE HELPED HIM BECOME AN ALLSTAR!
MJ lost in the first round 3 times in a row before pippin came
Thassa Flex pippen wasn’t an all star the moment he came in. It took a couple years . MJ molded him. MJ is the goat still regardless
Thassa Flex LeBron couldn’t make the playoffs until Larry Hughes showed up
DEE~LYTE hope. He was already good. Lebron wouldn’t have came back if not. He was already averaging 20 and had the most buzzer beaters. You can’t name any star that played better with lebron.
Skip dodges more questions thats in Lebron favor than Ive ever seen before. He just answers a question with a question lol
finesse laflare ... No Skip Bayless answer the fantasy the Shannon Sharpe is having about Jordan more help than LaBaby is. LaBaby had 14 all-stars. Vs Jordan six.
hershel pogue You just made entirely no sense. But okay.
hershel pogue Lebron never had a good team for more than 4yrs Jordan his whole career
finesse laflare
Whole career? LOL
You're showing your age here 😂
Here's the kick in the nuts.....Jordan lead the Bulls to a chip, with Dennis Hopson, Craig Hodges, Cliff Livingston, Bill Cartwright, Will Perdue, and Stacey King.
Michael Jordan never played with another player who demanded a double team, that pretty ends this debate.
Not really
Lmao, Shannon cant belive what hes talking about himself 😂😂
Lbj monopolized the East with Wade who would of been Finals MVP 2011 if they won add Bosh. AD, Love and Irving yo it's not even close whose had more help
Bill Cartwright, Luc longely, Bill Wennington ect...These are the guys Jordan had back when the NBA was a CENTER dominated league. Against guys like David Robinson, Hakeem Olajuwon, Alonzo Morning, Shaquille Oneal, Patrick Ewing, Kareem Abdul Jabar, Rick Smits...need i go on?
Come on. These were different era's. Jordan performed when hand-checking and centers were critical and Jordan never had ONE great one.
Open Up their Eyes for me with some Common Sense Plz ... I Thank You
The bulls other than mj pip, wouldn't be able to get on an nba floor. Hands down lebron has had more help. Jordan never jumped ship or ever recruited players. Worst player bron ever had I'm thinking deliadova, but he better than...Dickie simpkins member him....off topic that's why I think warriors would beat the bulls. Bulls would barely beat the Cavs. Only because of Jordan's greatness.
Ragen Storm now put four of those guys together and that’s who lebrons playing against
@oj lott He had Orlando Woolridge back then he's a decent center.
Skip is not good at arguing with Shannon. When Shannon said: "of all all stars that have played with LeBron, name one who had better defense than Scottie Pippen." Well, the same argument could be done for the opposite side of the court, of all all stars that played with MJ name one better at scoring than DWade and Kyrie!
Chris Faux- Skip doesn't even have to say anything. Lebron played with way more all stars and we know Shannon loves to shine Lebron's scepter. Bronsexuals don't want to bring up the stat sheets.
scoring is only one facet of the game . jordan did the scoring while teammates did the rest so you can say lebron had more jobs to do . one could make the argument that jordan teammates did more him than james teammates did. Lebron lead in all major statistical categories . now imagine if all lebron had to do was score wouldn't that be alot easier
ryanr20091, Lebron is BARELY a better rebounder and getting assist than MJ or Kobe- so much doing for so much more.
Lebron doesn't know how to play with others. Doesn't know how to memorize plays or play without the ball. Lebron is great with guys that can space the floor. Imagine him without those sharp shooters? I remember the 2007 finals.
EmperorJBO bringing up Kobe means you’re argument is null and void. Kobes not even a top 10 player.
JBerta kobe is better than lebron. Thats why USA team begged kobe to save them from losing to Spain and Argentina lol
People always talk about how Jordan's team was loaded and how he always had the best players. When MJ came out of retirement the Bulls record was 34-31, they won 13 of their next 17 regular-season games to finish 47-35. The following year they went 72-10... Who really elevated that team... because it wasn't Pippen.
Except the fact that the bulls also added dennis rodman.
@@dynamic6645 expect the fact the won 3 before he got theee

Soo now Shannon is knocking Jordan for staying with his team.. Than LeBron for bouncing team to team..
Cue Doyle mike went to Washington
@@sigmundsanders8064.. He was part owner of the team.. Him playing was about money.. Reason number one is here donated his salary from playing to the families of 9/11 victims.. Number 2 Washington wasn't selling it any games.. What better way to fill the seat than having Micheal freaking Jordan on your team?? Then he needed to groom his young team.. And from ages 38 - 40 put up 20pts 6rebs 6ast.. #GOAT
Cue Doyle there was no reason for Jordan to live his team tho🤦🏾♂️ he had great and healthy players
@AgooD Avgguy AgooD Avgguy all this sentences you wrote fell short and invalid because of one thing MJ left they didn't win any rings in 1994&1995 the GOAT returned they won another 3peat yeah kiddo your HOF with their GOAT couch phil Jackson FAILED to win Sh*t without MJ defeat that kiddo.
@AgooD Avgguy ur ignorance is laughable #FACTS smfh. U said that the OWNER brought the best?!!!!! 🤫😱🤣😂. Reinsdorf gave control of all basketball decisions to Krause. He's been documented SEVERAL times as saying that. Krause was NOTORIOUS for being cheap. Phil Jackson was a ROOKIE head coach before coaching CHI, he took over for Doug Collins. U mentioned organizations win chips but how many chips has CHI won since MJ left with Krause? 0! The triangle was successful because of MJ & players like MJ, see Kobe Bryant. It's about space, angles & ball movement. U know NOTHING ABOUT NBA BASKETBALL
I'm weak af @ Shannon tryna throw Charles Oakley on there 😂😂😂😂😂
Charles Oakley wasn't even making those all-defense teams when he played on the bulls. Shannon should be banned from talking about LeBrick.

@@drewski103 Cherry picking semantics lol.
They have to cherry pick history to try to make a argument for LeBron lol
@John Kavanagh it’s not his fault his two all stars didn’t show up in 2014. It was literally LeBron vs the spurs. MJ quit on his team twice because he was scared of playing outside of Phil’s system. We’d view his career a lot different if he didn’t retire prematurely twice
@@immortal8447 When did Jordan quit on his team
In Game 1 of the Lakers Finals, MJ went for 36/8/12 on 58% shooting. I'll take that over Magic's 19/10/11.
Isaac Russell 19 points? The way Shannon was talking it felt like he put up 35.
@@kevinburke6055 Exactly, 19 poiints, 10 boards, 11 assists. Shannon acts like MJ didn't show out. He also had 3 steals that game. Ended the series 31 points, 6.6 boards, 11.4 assists, 2.8 steals, 1.4 blocks on 55%. All that in a more physical, less floor space era. Just the GOAT.
@@demontiakpinkney5881 And Magic won 5 to Jordan's 6, but that's not the issue. Plus, in Game 6, after Pippen was put on Magic, Magic had 16 points, 20 assists, and 11 rebounds. So, he dropped bigger tripple-double on Pippen.
I think you are wrong, but importantly, you are responding to an argument I didn't make. I was talking about the 1991 Finals and Pippen guarding Magic...
To be honest the 2 year break enabled MJ not to wear down and continue his dominance
all star is a fan vote...chris kaman was an all star
Actually, coaches are given a vote as well.
Cause chris Kaman was acutally decent
Kaman was legit that year.
He probably Kaman his pants when he made All-Star
M Gomes lmaoooo
Tbh Steve Kerr and Phil Jackson are the most helped players/coaches of all time
The difference is that the Bulls drafted pippen and grant, then Jordan taught them how to be killer on the court. It was wade that had to teach Lebron how to be a winner. Lebron had so much help throughout his career that it's not even funny.
Jordan taught them?? No. The Pistons taught them.
@@MrBarberboy42 If the Pistons taught the Bulls then Jordan and Pippen would have been dirty players just like the Pistons.
@@marshallmaxwell2494 Dirty Players? They were Champions. They didn't play any dirtier than any other team. They might've been tougher. MJ is my favorite player. But that loss to the Pistons pushed him to another level. If he had beaten those Pistons early he may have not gotten to 6.
Everyteam in the league back then knew that the pistons were dirty and that's why Thomas was kept off the Dream Team. I don't know how old you are but I watched those games first hand. The Pistons were dirty.
@@marshallmaxwell2494 😂. You must not have a basketball background. It was basketball in the 80's and early 90's. Name me one team that didn't play rough basketball. Basketball isn't Golf. It's a physical sport.
They are missing the point of today’s top NBA teams consist of multiple All Star players. Having more than one All Star on a team during the Jordan era was considered rare because All Star players would not recruit other All Stars to produce a super team.
Jon T Lebron did it when he moved to miami. He couldnt win teams so he moved to a superteam with 3 all stars and great veterans.
Good points. Nowadays most top teams has more than two all stars. So it is harder to beat other top teams with only 1 or 2 all stars.
Nadav Oneplus no no he help form the superteam
Kohlabear Plays There was a superteam in Boston that gave the Cavs trouble in years prior to Lebron moving to the Heat.
MJ's era there were many super teams and many teams with at least 2 all stars on them.
Don’t forget Dennis Rodman. And Young Charles Oakley in 86’
Very good role players. Only Scottie was a true star.
Harper all defense as well...smh and kokoc ain't no slouch
RODMAN was old, good only in the 1996 Playoffs. But in the 1997 and 1998 Playoffs, he was terrible.
Prime RODMAN played vs MJ.
1997 Playoffs:
RODMAN = 4-ppg FG-37% and 8-RPG.
1998 Playoffs:
RODMAN = 5-ppg FG-37% and 12-RPG.
Oakley was traded over Jordan’s objections
Oakley made one all star when he was a knick Bosh made 5 time all star, kevin love 5 all stars, Rodman 2 none of them with the bulls mmmm I could go on and on son
Shannon is missing something. The Bulls winning 55 wins were residuals from being a championship team. What happened the following year? They weren't even in the playoff run. They were about to miss the playoffs. How do you fall off that far WITH PIPPEN if he was such a great player? MJ came back and led them to the playoffs and 3 more championships.
Duh, because You lose Horace Grant (all-star) to the magic. You lose Cartwright to Seattle. Jon Paxson retires. Pip was 1st in Def Eff and 2nd in def winshares. He was phenomenal
The truth is the 1st 3peat bulls were extremely overpowered nobody won more than 2 games against them except knicks 1 year lol
You could use this same argument for lebron but tenfold because directly after he leaves the team utterly falls apart
@@sethenglish599 no lies detected here 👍👍👍
Pippen got farther on his own with the Bulls then Michael did on his own.
Michael Jordan and LeBron James are both great players, and both had help from other great players along the way.
You need help
LeBron never had a HOF coach like Phil Jackson!
MJ goat
Skips argument was based off of one thing and that was All-Star appearances
Well you do make an all-star team for a reason, it’s either you put up great stats, influence winning on a team, or both. So counting all star appearances does matter
@@virgilmanuel3224 who has more now?
@@HTxGhost24 more what? more help? Lebron always had more help than MJ
@@virgilmanuel3224 I meant more All Star selections, remember Dwyane Wade already had bad knees when LeBron got to Miami, but if you wanna say how GREAT he is then how come he doesn't get any blame for the Dallas series? 🤔
@@HTxGhost24 Because D Wade was the reason Miami was even in control of dat series he averaged 27 on 52% shooting he was the best player in dat series Lebron melted down like we’ve never seen a superstar melt before
It’s official, Shannon is more entertaining than skiuuuuup
Juan Felipe lmao. He's ALWAYS been more entertaining. Don't agree with the LeBron meat chewing but i get it. It's for the show.
Where you been at???
Juan Felipe skip is more accurate though...
Skip was the weakest link on First Take also
Juan Felipe he is, but his argument was off track and weak on this one. He's awesome, just not in this topic.
Ha I can watch this video over and over all day. Hail the greatness of Jordan.
Skip literally finds one stat in his favor and he runs with only that the whole debate
Better than Shannon who had no stats and ran with Oakley being some noteworthy player like a Dwade or Kyrie.
"don't do that" "help me out" "hold on, now"
These Jordan LeBron debates are actually boring now
Eric Appiah-Kubi yea they reaching hard for lebron lol coming up with crazy stuff man
agree.
“hEz MoRe VeRzAtILe aNd cAn dO mOrE” according to Bronsexuals bring a slightly better rebounder and racking up a few more assists makes you more well rounded lol might as well include Westbrook and Draymond in the convo while we’re at it
Legendaryhype reaching? I mean if Jordan was good enough get to finals he wouldn't be 6-0 in finals. LeBron made finals at age 22
Andrew Blackop You're not very smart, are you? I'm not a Lebron fan, but "racking up a few more assists lol". Lebron is literally 100x the passer Jordan was. You can't even compare their playmaking skills. And yes, Lebron is the far more versatile player.
These debates are classic honestly 😂😂😂😂😂
Bro bron brought Anderson varejo, z, Larry Hughes, and Eric snow to a finals, half the help bron had early on wasn’t even help lol
Gets wade and bosh and averages 18 in the finals lol
@@Steven_Martinez where was the heat before lebron?? Knocked out in the first round. He went to the finals every season when he joined
@@noobrou5857 Wade was a finals MVP with Shaq in Miami
Right now in Lebron's 14th season he has 3 rings and 4 MVPs.
In MJ's 14th season he was decorating his display closet with 6 Championship rings and 5 MVPs along with 2 Slam Dunk champion trophies and 1 time Defensive player of the year trophy.
Londzale dont forget LeBron's two bronze medals!!
Wtf you really brought up Jordan’s 2 slam dunk trophies? Lebron was robbed of defensive player of the year twice smh.
Also don’t compare it by season compare it by AGE.
Karma comparing it by age would be unfair, Jordan played 4 years in college and LeBron came out of highschool. Comparing by number of series shows who's done more in the same amount of time
You forgot 10 scoring titles
While Skip is forever hating Lebron...I think it's different as Lebron had multiple sets of great supporting casts while Jordan had a more consistent set of help...
but isn't this a team sport? They're talking as if it is a bad thing that a standout player had a good supporting cast
TyrantT316 thank you...
Unfortunately Common sense isnt common...W for you tho cuz u right...
First 3 peat he only had pippen LeBron oh sorry never 3 peated GTFOH!
Lebron has had more all star talented players supporting him on and off his career, but Mj did have longer lasting support from Scottie and Phil. Then factor that players like Horace Grant and Scottie were 7ppg rookies, MJ helped develop them. There's multiple factors to this.
TyrantT316 I don't blame skip Shannon is an Idiot.
Legendary debates
skip:4 years is a long time
shannon:is it longer then the 10 years jordan has with scottie pippen
Its like skip intentionally made this question and put it on 🤣🤣
Tristen Vro 😂😂😂
Tristen Vro at 0:08-0:09 it sounds like Shannon says it’s lebron😂😂😂
Yep, he frying Leshannon
Stone Love wrong
Lol yup cuz shannon really had no argument here. Lebron has had multiple allstars for most of his career
Jordan would never allow Jason Terry to out play him
Lebron did tho
Facts. This debate should have ended after the 2011 finals.
How bout mj's first round exits? Why did he allowed it dude can u explain pls. And fyi he is wt teammates who score 20 plus points. Explain pls sir
Raven Panganiban Lim He was missing Pippen, once Pippen joined it was a wrap.
@Adidas Man44 lol and consider that era too. Midrange scoring that era is so easy and im saying players now have more competition than tha oldschool era.
Didnt Lebron have
Wade, Bosh, and Ray Allen,arguably the 3rd best 3point shooter in NBA history and in Cleveland didnt he have Love and Kyrie
And jus curious doesnt Lebron play the PG
role besides for Rodman and Pippen who else did he have the difference was MJ had role players that knew there role
Shannon can’t even mention DWade and his achievements and he keeps avoiding the 2011 Finals and saying The Mavs swept LA and Kobe shrink LOL D Wade was a proven player when Lebron played with him Scottie is a superstar yes but Wade has the better numbers
The Golden Boy I’m late to the party, but I have always thought that Wade and Kobe were closer than a lot of people think. Kobe was a better shooter, but Wade’s handles and finishing ability was all-time great.
LeBron played with an old dwade prime dwade was from 2006 to 2008
Jiggly Juice you sure? LOL have you seen D Wade in 2011-2013? LOL
@@johnjoshtvofficial7633 wade was good but LeBron joined wade pretty late
Wrong: BJ Armstrong and Horace Grant along with Scottie Pippen made the 1994 All Star Game. Scottie won the All Star Game MVP award and almost won the league MVP.
Jordan played 2 years with Charles Oakley to start his career....Shannon talking like he had Oakley for a decade lol
Joe Isa Oakley was a defensive force to protect young jordan he was a liability on offense he was decent
Ok and? Skip saying lebron played with 14 allstars and jordan played with 6 is misleading because jordan played with the same dudes forever. It’s like saying someone missed more free throws when they have 2000 more attempts than the other player; it’s disingenuous and a false equivalency.
My thing is: Jordan was patient and loyal. Jordan didn’t go screaming “trade”. He stuck through it, and the team eventually developed into a good team.
LeBron went RUNNING to an all star team.
Case closed.
Lebron gave 7 years to Cleveland. They didn't surround him with anyone. Jordan won his first title in his 7th year. He had Pippen since 87 and got Phil Jackson smh.
running to an all star team that lost in the first round 3 straight years?
Tgaud82 D Wade won a ring without him. So chill. LeBron got two rings with Miami, and he got those rings for people like D Wade and Ray Allen cleaning up from his mistakes in clutch situations. LeBron was a total fail in the clutch!
imahelpfulperson, u sure it wasn't the fact that boston and detroit got too old and beat up that led to the bull's success?
@@dc3470 Boston? Yes, Detroit? No, you need to look up the ages of those Pistons, Dumars was 27, Thomas was 28, Rodman was 29, in fact, the oldest one of the leaders of the "Bad Boys" was Laimbeer and he was 33.
Love this show
Skip knows that Shannon is speaking facts because when Gary Payton said the same thing, Skip agreed and kept quiet
Facts??? Is 1 all-star against multiple all-stars on multiple big three teams a winner to you 😂😂😂
Stop it man 😂😂😂
Is this even a question..... LeBron was apart of teams with 1/4 of the Eastern Conference all stars for 8 years while nobody else in the conference had 3 stars. Not 1 team
2014/2015 heat basically had the same team that they had on there finals run (minus Lebron). They won 37 games missed the playoffs.
Before Lebron comes back to clevland kyrie lead the cavs to a whopping 33 wins.
With Lebron these teams aren’t even making playoffs let alone finals..... pippen brought the bulls to 55 wins and the playoffs. Oh and 6 straight for Jordan is bull.... 1995 he was eliminated in 6 games by the magic in eastern conference semis..... oh and let’s not forget his clutch 1 point in the 4th quarter of the elimination game
theBSexpress First of all Lebron leaves with no warning so teams dont have a chance to prepare after they tailor made a roster full of spot up shooters just for him. Wade played 52 games while Bosh played 44. They shut them both down with the blood clots and knees. And Lebron himself couldnt even make the playoffs til year 3 in Cleveland so why we expecting Kyrie too 🤔🤔🤔🤔
theBSexpress yeah but the fact is LeBron is great in today’s game but you cannot argue Jordan being 6-0 in the finals. Well the NBA finals the hype of the crowd clutch moments. Respect Jordan being the Goat and LeBron being the king
Lebron played with Ben Wallace and Shannon is talking about mj playing with a two time defensive player of the year
bronsesxual ignore any facts
Shannon has the craziest take ever. Horace wasn’t an all star with MJ, Scottie only became an all star in the 90s, and missed it one of those years. Lebron has been with multiple top 75 players and multiple allstars any time he has won. I think the numbers are close to 128ish all star appearances by lebrons teammates, MJ has 12.
LeBron has had better overall teams then Michael Jordan I won’t lie, but MJ had consistency in his robin, consistency in what’s built around him & consistency in being coached by an all time great coach . Part of Jordan being successful is partly due to that little bit of luck, but mostly good management around him . A factor highly underrated in today’s NBA
BIG facts.
Better overall teams? The bulls have a claim to be the best team of all time, none of LeBrons teams do
@@downbadichigo9331 yeah Chicago signing a superstar defender spectacular rebounder in Dennis Rodman, that's definitely true.
@@downbadichigo9331 that happened in 96 . The culture, core & system was figured out by then . LeBron put himself in many new situations & many/all of which had injury plagued stars . The 96 season is a result of maturation, culture & chemistry coming together . That team wasn’t that talented . It had role players who fulfilled their roles perfectly
Coaching as well LeBron not having a great environment or coaching system I think ended up hurting his development
I love how they reframe the question ‘who played in the best teams?’ With ‘who was helped the most?’ Like its all about 4 guys helping 1 guy rather than 5 playing together in team... just shows how embarrassing this ‘TEAM’ sport has become with individual egos! 🤦♂️
Brent Meister General my thought exactly. “Help” is such a derogatory term.
7:45...says 'lets use context'. Ignores context saying MJ went 30-52 when he missed 64 games that year with a knee injury. Never change LeShannon.
This ain't even a debate
Scottie was All Star game MVP the year Jordan went to play baseball. They also won 55 games that year.
put jordan on that miami team with wade and bosh and they sweep dallas....and word to the wise Jordan didnt have to leave the bulls to "learn" to be a champion
no because jordans front office didnt give him such amazing talents as zydrunas ilgauskas mo williams anderson varejo delonte west and the shells of antawn jameson and shaq like lebron had to deal with. they drafted and signed talent which is something the cavs front office is completely incapable of doing they lucked out on lebron and kyrie theyve been trash at drafting anyone else
jboogbush2010 put jordan pn that cleveland team that beat the warriors and they lose, jordan might've lost against the spurs too
jboogbush2010
LeBron James went to the league after high school. Jordan couldn't make varsity. LeBron is still relevant in his 15th season. Jordan was washed up by his 15th season.
LeBron at 15 years old would destroy a 15 year old Jordan. God made LeBron to play basketball.
samuel moore
Durant jumped on the golden state bandwagon.
I respect his shot, it's more accurate than LeBron shot.
I never seen a high school player as talented, or be as successful in the league. Jordan NEVER played a team like golden state with Durant.
samuel moore
If that happens curry will have 5 but he isn't better than LeBron. Rings ain't everything.
Give MJ Ty Lue & JR Smith.
Give LeBron Phil Jackson & Pippen.
Lets see who has the better career now.
OzzY FIFA Jordan. LBJ and Pippen play the same type of game. Jordan does not lose with Wade and Bosh period. 4-0. LBJ would probably be 2-4 with Phil Jackson and the Bulls.
I co-sign Eric Hall. This is the closest to accurate outcome. MJ wins all Finals with Wade and Bosh. No questions asked. Lebron loses half those Finals. MJ is 6 of 6 Lebron is 3 of 8. Keeping with percentages, giving Lebron %50 win rate is better than his actual.
Ozzy FIFA Lebron isn't a system player therefore he wouldn't fit with Phil and Pippen. Pippen was Lebron.
OzzY FIFA how about Kyrie and Love with it. Or Wade and Bosh. 😂😂😂 I see how you tried to cherry pick
MJ was not stupid enough to de and his while team traded or Phil Jackson fires just to get a him like Tyron Lue coach him.
That is why he is thr greatest and that is why he is 6-0.
Shannon talking about all these defensive players that Mike had well dang cause they actually played D back then! It’s a offensive game now and the reasons why those players were great cause Mike made them great they knew what Mj expected and he wasn’t gonna settle for nothing less
Skils face and pause when Shannon Jordan 🤣🤣🤣
The bulls had a better front office, and were better in acquiring rotational talent (Pippen, Rodman, Grant, Kerr, Kukoc, Harper) that constitutes a team built around Jordan. Cavs and Heat relied on "number one option offensively" talent (Wade, Bosh, Love, Irving). Lebron had teammates who had to adjust from being number 1, to 2nd and 3rd options. Before going to Lebron's team, they were already putting up stats because they had to, whether their team was winning (Wade,Bosh) or losing (Irving, Love). This in turn allowed them to have accolades such as allstar nods and all nba team selections. Whereas in Jordan's case, none of his teammates (with exception to Ron Harper) started out as number 1 offensive options and didn't put up the necessary offensive stats that the league places emphasis on. In my opinion, offensive stats are placed at a higher premium than defensive stats, that is why people would argue that Kevin Love or Kyrie Irving are "better" than Pippen or Rodman.
When MJ left, Scottie loss in the semifinals and the next year was on the verge of missing the playoffs until MJ came back. DWade is a scoring champion and Finals MVP before Bron got to Miami. He beat Dirk without Bron and Bosh but loss in 2011 in 6 because Bron choked. Wade would've won another Finals MVP and be a 4 time NBA Champion
Preach brotha preach!
People never acknowledge the 2015 Heat were injured too. Bosh and Wade each missed over half the year. Next year, 2016, Bosh was hurt again but Wade was healthy. And they got just as far as those 1994 Bulls are. So that argument about Bulls are just as good without MJ is the same for LeBron and Miami
Supermariohoops24 EXACTLY
You realize he was a call away from going to the finals that was a bogus call on scottie pippen kyrie couldn't take the Cavs far with out bron wade couldn't carry his team when everyone left and he had a team like lebron James he had problems with Dan Gilbert and delonte west and they wouldn't get him help
Anthony Hooper so when did the eastern conference semis become one game away from nba finals? Stop LYING they played knicks in 2nd round...
Also, They were only 34-31 THE NEXT YEAR in danger of missing playoffs and MJ CAME BACK out of retirement to help them go 13-4 in the last 17 games of the season. Why don’t you bring that second season without Jordan up??
It cant be used as an excuse that he only was there 4 years when Lebron choose to leave. Jordan never left and did What he could to push teammates together with himself.
LeBron has played with more all stars, including 5 seasons with two all stars . Wade is a champion without LeBron and both he and bosh combine for 16 all stars without LeBron and finished 3rd in the East. 5 all stars between Kyrie and love without LeBron. Pippen 2 all stars without Jordan
Horace 1
Rodman 2 before Jordan.
It’s not even close.
James handpicked every team he’s been on and who he wants as a number 2 and 3.
Clearly Lebron had more help and let his legacy take a hit by only winning 3 rings and some fools in the media are always trying to put him in the same sentence or level as MJ which is so disrespectful when only Kobe and Kareem are on his level.
@@adamsamuel8593 he has 4 rings first of all second of all you deadass think Kobe is remotely close to them lmao he wasn't the best player on a majority of his finals teams he has horrible efficiency he has 1 MVP he isn't on their level

When Michael left the bulls, they knew he was leaving and retooled. Added Rodman, Tony K, Steve Kurr. In that time frame. The Cavs had no clue Lebron was leaving.
Secondly Dwade is arguably the 3rd best shooting guard ever. Jordan, Kobe then Wade. Pippen at best is 6th.
Lebron, Bird, baylor, durant, Erving then Pippen.
Lastly Shannon brings up that Pippen was 3rd runner up for mvp without mj.........Wade SHOULDVE WON MVP 2009. The year before Lebron got there. Averaged more points assists and had close rebound numbers while averaging more blocks and steals than lebron, he was also the only guard since Jordan to get over 80 blocks and 150 steals. Resepct Wade
Arguably the 3rd best shooting guard? There's no argument, he is already #3.
The issue is that no one likes to bring up wade was no longer in his prime after that 2011 season. Knee issues really got to him and played a little over half the season. Bosh was turned into a shell of his former baby dinosaur days when he was an easy 20 and 10 a night player.
londonrd yea wade won scoring title that year too. He’s my favorite player after Jordan just because I had a playing style like his and I like how he could take over games and compete in his prime. He still competes just on backside of career now
John Lee yea but even if that’s the case they lost to one of the weakest finals teams lebron faced in their prime together. No excuse for that!
Bitcoin is LIT not in 2011 or 2012. Wade avg 22 a game in playoffs 11 & 12. How is that a shell when pippen avg under 20 points in couple of bulls playoff championship years??

I been trying to find a video where MJ quit on his team in the finals, where MJ lost a finals, where MJ got swept in the finals, where MJ went to a game 7 in the finals, where MJ gets locked down in the finals, where MJ switched teams just to win a ring...

@@akshay5569 u mean when he averaged 40 in a finals
The all star teams are a popularity competition , it’s not a true reflection of team balance , roles and contribution within the group . So we need to stop using the all star games as a measure of a person . Look at the bulls over their 8 year purple patch . Rodman best defender and rebounder all time , former champ and all star , hodge 3 point champ , Kerr greatest 3 point % all time , grant made an all star team when MJ left , so he was close for a few years and then you have MJ and Jordan which speak for themselves . So counting Allstars is a dangerous measure it’s worse if you count all stars for a particular year .
Dennis rodman 2x all-star
Skip-“dennis never made an all star game with jordan
Also skip-“ no player before and after playing with jordan was an all star”
Skip is a hater, thats all
Skip's all star argument is a stretched. All star voting doesn't translate to greatness.

Literally, picking him up to work out and mentoring him on games...etc.

Michael didn't make Scottie into the player he became NOBODY can make you into anything. You can say MJ molded him but he didn't make him, if he could MAKE him he could MADE a BUNCH of other people. Scottie had the desire and worth ethic and talent to be great, MJ just guided him and helped him mature and develop faster. But NOBODY MAKES anybody, but they do influence you.

Real truth is Lebron had help. That help was the Toronto Raptors being in their division and helping him get to the finals every time they faced in the playoffs.
5abivt FACTS
5abivt lol
Lebron averaged 35 against them. What about the series against the Pacers were none of them scored 20 and lebron had to drop 44 points just to win by 3.
That same series he had to drop 20 in the first twice for them to even stand a chance. These people are something ekse
5abivt Even though im rooting for LeBron and Cavs ,this comment was funny to me lol
eastern used to be tougher
JORDAN - Pippen, Grant, Rodman, Kukoc, Kerr, Paxon, Harper, Cartwright, BJ Armstrong, Charles Oakley, Orlando Woolridge and Luc Longley
Lebron - Wade, Bosh, AD, Ray Allen, Rondo, Love, Tristan Thompson, Kyrie, Battier, Mike Miller, Birdman, Rashard Lewis, D.Rose, Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Jeff Green, Rodney Hood,
George Hill, Channing Frye, Big Z, Ben Wallace, Shaq, Mo Williams
Who had more help? Hmmm...It's no brainer lol
Its amazing how Scottie becomes the 2nd greatest player ever when Lebron fans step into the room. Even though he only averaged 17,5,5 for his career and averaged less than 20ppg in his finals career.
Remember when mo Williams was an all star? The all star title is a little overrated.
Mark Scarlet yeah I know I remember a year when Zaza Pachulia almost got voted in.
Shrek Is A Baller let me guess, that finals mvp wade got was also overrated. Without Lebron wade was a role player right ? Scottie and Horace Grant on the other hand were bench players when they joined the bulls lol
Mo William's was a great piece. Catch and shoot on the moneyyy! Above average defender and excellent at moving off the ball for lebron to pile his assists with. that's why lebrons passing to the 3 ball is 7 times more than mjs. Mj got his assists with giving the ball to mid range players and feeding the post off of broken defense. Way more skilled. MJ = Goat
Mark Scarlet that’s a very good point. I thought it was a dumb argument they were making to begin with on all star appearances. On the flip side, dennis Rodman has 2-all star appearances and is hall of famer. He hardly ever got voted in because fans hated him. So yeah, all-star appearances is a flawed argument.
If you think about it, every award is overrated. Every stat is overrated. That's why the eye test is the best way to define a player. Lebron played in the east. Playing in the garbage east helped him lead his team to more wins and allow him to be in the MVP conversation. Lebron would have missed the playoffs 4 times in his career, had he played in the west. And would have had only 3 finals appearances at best
Though he was old, how could no one mention how Ray Allen made that three to save Lebron? Or how he was averaging 17 points per game in the 2011 finals, while Bosh was averaging 18 points per game and D Wade 27 points per game? Michael Jordan, at least I dont think had anyone on his team that outplayed him in a series like that? Have you ever seen Michael Jordan choke in a playoff series and Scottie Pippen just completely outplay him and carry him to six games. The Heat lost that year but try to understand what I'm saying.
Vyshakh Vathielil the argument of “he was saved by his teammate” is so dumb. Lebron got them there, Ray Allen made a big shot. Do you remember Paxon “saving” Jordan? How many big shots has Steve Kerr hit? How about when meta world peace “saved” kobe in game 7.
But you fail to acknowledge the fact that dallas plaid a damn good series to beat miami. Skip got owned by mark cuban over this. They played zone defense which limited lebrons play. That made other players,not lebron, to take shots i.e bosh or wade. So dont ever act like dallas didn’t execute perfectly on d to beat miami. You actin like the 07 cavs plaid miami and it was all lebrons fault they lost
Joshua Martinez Taking nothing away from the Mavs, but there is no excuse, you have the team, you have the talent, you have the opportunity and you choke. This is not a little choke, this is a huge choke. And how can you say they let others score, D Wade was on his way to another Finals MVP of it wasn't for Lebron. They tried to stop him, they couldn't, but easily Lebron is Lebron and should have done a lot more. Heck Jason Terry outplayed him that series. It is completely his fault no excuses. I dont know how anyone can defend his obvious fault in that finals.
His team never outplayed lebron he was mvp in all the teams his been in first of all
Joshua Martinez I agree, even lebron admitted that Dwayne Casey's defensive scheme was target toward stopping lebron and it was well executed.
Tell me who you’d rather play with in your career. And before all you Lebron fanboys go off I’m listing best players they’ve played with in their CAREER.
Scottie Pippen
Dennis Rodman
Toni Kukoc
Richard Hamilton
Steve Kerr
Or
Dwayne Wade
Kyrie Irving
Anthony Davis
Chris Bosh
Ray Allen
Kevin Love
Bob Jones
First off you need to check your source or your head because Kevin love never averaged anything near 8 PPG when he went to Cleveland. He averaged 17.2 PPG and 10 RPG during his tenure with LBJ.
Secondly Charles Oakley only ever played ONE season with MJ where he averaged 3 PPG and 6 RPG so thank you for destroying your own point about players not being as good as they used to be.
Thirdly
Steve Kerr averaged 8 PPG during his time with MJ. Which is 2 PPG less than what Allen averaged with LBJ. So wait if Allen was washed what’s Kerr?
Fourth
Horace grant was a great player but doesn’t even compare to the likes of Chris Bosh or Anthony Davis. He had identical stats to shaq in 2010 with the Cavs 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Not to mention of all the players YOU mentioned this is combined how many all star appearances they have
MJ Teammates
10x All star
LBJ Teammates
31x All star
Who’d you rather take.
A team of
Pippen
Rodman
Kerr
Harper
Grant
Paxston
Kukoc
OR
Anthony Davis
Kyrie Irving
Kevin Love
Dwayne Wade
Chris Bosh
Ray Allen (10 PPG)
You’re an idiot. Next time you try to argue something come with facts and not made up BS. Dismantling your idiotic make belief argument was easy.
Not saying Lebron wasn’t great. But to say he had less help is the most idiotic thing I’ve ever heard. Stop watching basketball and please for the love of god.
Stop riding Lebron.
