Six NBA Finals appearances, six titles, six MVPs. Whenever anyone questions Michael Jordan’s status as the greatest ever, it is usually this record that ends any and all arguments. Because, in other ways, other players are able to surpass Jordan. Bill Russell finished with more rings, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar finished with more points, and (sacrilege alert!) LeBron James might be a more dangerous all-around player. And, as James seeks his 11th straight Finals appearance, it can be debated that just getting to the Finals is an enormous accomplishment in and of itself. But what cannot be debated is, that each and every time Jordan made the Finals, he not only won, but was named MVP every single time. 6 for 6 6x MVP is nothing to sneeze at, thats extremely difficult to accomplish, and that record may never be Broken. For someone to be considered better than Jordan they would have to go 7 for 7, 7x Finals MVP. Perfection is hard to top.
JORDAN"s Bulls defeated seven 60+ win teams ( a record for a dynasty team in a decade ) and 20-teams that had between 50-59 wins. JORDAN was guarded by *Defensive Player of the Year* players in the playoffs several times. *Dennis Rodman- 2x DPOY.* *Sidney Moncrief-2x DPOY.* *Alvin Robertson- 1x DPOY.* *Gary Payton- 1x DPOY.* The paint was patrolled by Shaquille O"Neal, Alonzo Mourning, Dikembe Mutombo, Patrick Ewing, Karl Malone, Shawn Kemp, Brad Daugherthy, Larry Nance and Chris Webber.
@@allanhouston6759 these ignorant bronsexuals say he never was double teammed lol, while we always see him getting doubleteammed and had to find paints that are crowded with bigmen
@@TheTariqibnziyad Dude it’s not even that my Niqqa. If we’re talking about overall basketball skill. SKILL not accolades. I think Kd personally the goat only because he simply has the ability to shoot over anyone of any era. I’ve seen him shoot over Kawhi hand with ease. So he can do that to Pipen, Gary , any premium defensive person Kd can shoot over. Remember somehow Tony Allen locked up KObe I seem Kd literally just shoot over him. Again Kawhi is taller or about the same height as Scottie Pipen how is Kd not shooting over him. Anyway Lebron is even more goat the Jordan and Gilbert arena said it best it’s his ability to always make the right play. Gilbert like me acknowledges that truly open all part of your game you have to be willing to pass and set up teammates. Passing is apart of basketball. What mind bottles me is MJ played point guard and was amazing. Imagine if MJ played Pg and Scottie and the Sg. Maybe Rodman can play Sf. Holy shit. But Mj literal ego hinder him from amazing parts of the game. Unlike Lebron who truly reached basket perfection skill wise. Accolade wise Lebron did not Achieve perfection but Basketball skill wise it would be disrespectful to not call Lebron James better then mj. I’m sorry Mj mindset would limit him from being dominant in certain era. Plus Mj would definitely be in MVP conversation but we’re talking Basketball skill wise an Lebron being able to be more durable and pass way better will make him just little little little tiny bit better then Mj. An before you say well what is a little I’ll show you how a little separate to amazing player. We all regard Steph curry to be better then klay at shooting. But imagine if Klay could create for himself. He’s now a little bit better then curry because Klay is better on defense and still can play off ball. If I asked you now I’ll give you curry as is or a Klay with the ability to create his own shots your going to take Klay. Although curry is the better shooter and space creator but it’s Klay ability to play defense and off ball makes him little better

@@AJ-pc5ln Jordan was the perfect player with NO FLAWS as shown and proved in the video. His game was perfect and he could do it all on offense and defense especially pass and shoot threes when he needed to. He had no weaknesses otherwise teams would have exposed it cuz he could do it all.
@@eazyduzit-tr3nx I here what your saying but if any player loses their franchise player they won't be as good. But MJ is the second greatest all time to Russel Westbrook 🤷♂️
The most underrated aspect of Mike's career is that he was a great rebounder for a guard. Also the fact he rarely turned over the ball despite playing a position as ball dominant as the two-guard.
That’s what I’ve noticed, Jordan’s case for GOAT could be shown through his credentials and career (like in this video) where as whenever Lebron’s gets discussed they always bring Jordan down. And when they do the assessment correctly for lebron and his career it’s not nearly as impressive as jordan’s
Wilt Chamberlain downplayed Michael Jordan by saying that the league back in his time made rules to stop him while the league during MJ's era changed the rules in favor of MJ. It's as if he tried to assert his superiority over Jordan. Tsk tsk tsk. At least Jordan respects the players who competed before him and whom he never faced in the league. Jordan knows he's the shit. He doesn't need to try to assert his superiority over others these days.
Blame lebron fans for that. That was never a thing back then. When people crowned Mike, it was simply about his game, his accomplishments, the feel he gave you every time you watched him. Even when they were debating for Kobe being the best, there was no tearing down players & eras. Bron fans are the worst thing to ever happen to basketball.
True. I can't help but think that If Shaq had Kobe's Work Ethic and dedication. And M.J competitiveness That Shaq would be undisputed Goat. If Shaq stays in L.A and took care of himself better how many rings are we talking. At least 7, Maybe 8
I love when the young fellas can objectivity make a case for players that they weren't around for them actually witness but have the integrity to honestly access who's the Goat without being clouded by recency bias, much respect hoops.
Yeah that’s true I’m personally a LeBron fan. And when certain people who watch today’s NBA says it’s better is kinda dumb. Because the only people that really have a say on that are people that were there for all the eras. But the same thing could go for those cocky 90s and 2000s era players who think their era was better despite not even playing in the current NBA.
Could have also added the eye-test. Just watching him play you can tell he's a PERFECT mix of fundamental mastery, athleticism, and polished skills. It's like watching a large cat on the court
I agree with that. On top of that, listen to the way his opponents talk about him. It’s hilarious how much respect they give him. The stories of how a vet would have to apologize for the way a rookie teammate talked to Jordan says it all. They were all terrified of pissing him off.
whats funny about this is that this is the only ammunition lebron fans have against jordan. theyre saying he didnt even make the finals on a bad team as a rookie!
Last 5 minutes score within 5 points in the finals MJ 23-37 (first 3peat) 62.1% MJ 19-43 (second 3peat) 44.1% Kobe 24-57 42.1% LBJ 23-76 30.2% That’s how incredible MJ was in the clutch in the biggest stage. He has the same amount of made clutch shots in his first 3peat as LBJ did in his entire 10 year finals appearances & one less made shot than Kobe’s entire finals career. Even has a better fg% in his second 3peat than them lol. It’s why I laugh when LBJ fans say he’s more clutch than MJ or at his level. Legitimate laughter.
@Someone What’s your point? Michael actually played defense so if he was “fatigued,” it was because King Lame was....we’ll lame on the hustle back to play defense. He’s a big guy who can dunk. But he can’t shoot when he’s 10 feet way from the basket. What would have happened if King James tried to jump for a dunk with 3 players holding onto his shorts. He’d be stopped back in the day and sent to the line and throw up bricks. MJ would be pulled down from the dunk and somehow still create a shot that would go in then end up at the line to drain it. Mic drop.
The 2nd 3peat MJ was my favorite. Thats when he really used tht fade away often. He was poetry in motion. The most beautiful basketball ive ever seen!!
How old are you? I'm not challenging your assertion about second 3 peat Jordan... I'm just genuinely curious. It's cool when you run into people who TRULY appreciate the aesthetic aspect of MJ's game cheers
Facts ! People talk about numbers but can’t tell you how that player got those numbers. Stats have zero context. Why do you think coaches make you watch film & not read a paper with numbers. Never listen to analytic nerds...
@@MR.__G I agree to a point I think you have to go 50/50 on the eye test and the stats. Because numbers with no context could amount to empty stats and just purely basing it off the eye test and emotions like a fan boy completely overshadow how good or how bad someone really is.
@@x-man9473 That and Nike spends a Ton of Advertising & Marketing to fuel the Debate .. If LeBron was signed to Addidas or Reebok Nike would have silenced the noise a long time ago.
What I love about this video that isn't talked about that much is that Jordan wasn't on a Superteam, and never left his team! After watching the last dance we now know Jordan made all those guys great and they admit it! He is the single greatest athlete of all time. GOAT
I’m 19 years old, and I am so jealous! I wish I was alive to watch MJ play. That must’ve been an amazing experience like no other. You are lucky you got to experience that.
Kids these days just dont understand all of us who had the privilege to actually watch him play was a honor MJ was just on a whole nother level he is without a doubt the 🐐 ....again nicely done video
Kiddo. That’s the best video you’ve ever made. Jordan was the greatest BASKETBALL player after his first retirement. He became the greatest ATHLETE of all time with that second three peat.
heres another arguement that even the most fanatic bron fans find hard to argue against: if mj did a lebron after 98 and moved from team to team(eq the spurs then lakers), he would have at least 10 rings. if lebron did a jordan and stayed with his original franchise, he would absolutely have zero rings! its so much easier to win the lebron way. its so hard to win the jordan way!

Jordan player build was just perfect for basketball had an 50 inch vertical hands bigger than the claw. size 13 shoes at 6’6 perfect for a guard/sg Will never see a player build like that again
@@user-jl2te1tt5z No just no. He was never recorded having a 50" vertical. That is a basketball folktale. There is no historical proof. And people have went back through the photos and scaled them to roughly find his vertical and it was determined his vertical would have been in the range of 38-40 inches. Impressive, but not 50"

The 63 point game against the Celtics was a double overtime in the playoffs. That was the best Celtics team they ever had. He scored 69 against the Cavaliers, 64 against the Orlando Magic.
You know what is legendary and is be considered GOAT-like, here are some intangibles: - MJ led a historically great 72-10 team in 1996 (and won the ring) - the only team with a win-lose record of 69 or more to ever win the championship in history - MJ led Bulls have a legendary team introduction @ - MJ led Bulls have the best pre-game huddle catchphrase in basketball "What time is it? It's game time" - MJ led Bulls have the most all defensive team in their starting line-up in modern NBA history while also having the league leader in scoring It was not just about stats, it was about greatness overall. The pre-game huddle, the starting five intro, the fear and intimidation they brought to the game even before the game started, and they way they fashioned their championship runs is just....legendary! The GOAT is the player who does not elevate his play with his stats, but also elevated the players he plays with and made his teams historically great.
We can never have MJ and lebron play professionally against one another. However, one thig is absolutely for certain and not even debatable: If they HAd played in the same era and both been at their respective peaks at the exact same time, is there anyone dumb enough to think that MJ wouldn't have targeted lebron and focused so obsessively on him every time they played that he would have eventually made lebron say 'no mas'? MJ had no quit in him. We have seen lebron quit more times than I can count. MJ would have been so relentless in his persecution of lebron on the court, he would have made lebron either play harder which would have ended with him either being gassed before halftime or injured, or just straight-up quit. MJ was a killer and lebron would have just been another lamb for the slaughter. I laugh when idiots like jwill ask who MJ ever played that was like lebron. The real question is who has lebron ever played with the obsessively-targeted killer instinct combined with the two-way skills of MJ? The closest was Koby and we see how that worked out. His supporters shout how he owns all the stats records. guess what? He just became the turn-over leader of all time too. What does that say for longevity?

I don't get why these stupid Lebron fans are salivating to proclaim him as the greatest. When Jordan was being labelled the GOAT after his first chip, true fans knew it was too soon. Jordan fans respected other greats too and were not toxic about it. There was no debate, just RESPECT. Never have I heard REAL NBA analysts discredit other greats just to uplift Jordan. But what Jordan did was let his game speak for itself. He proved why he is the best player in the world by achieving his first 3 peat which cemented his legacy. He walked away primarily because of the death of his dad, and he had nothing left to prove. The 2nd 3 peat immortalized him as THE GOAT. He went to the Wizards as a business opportunity, but itched to prove to HIMSELF that he could still play with the best. Didn't care if that decision would affect his legacy or his legendary stats. Now Lebron, that dude's career is all over the place. He's played longer but still is very short of what Jordan has accomplished. This is despite having all the help he needs in every franchise he's been with. His skill & fundamentals, IQ, and desire to win at all costs is so far behind Jordan's. Plus the fact that Lebron does the most god-awful flops and says the cringiest things, I find it fascinating how his fans still try to make sense out of his silly antics and decisions. He wants his damn respect! Someone tell him and his fan boys that RESPECT IS EARNED, NOT GIVEN.
@@bigguccisosa9809 he's not he's had way more help than Jordan could ever dream of multiple superstar players that are great enough to get mvps themselves on his team never beat nearly as many 50+ and 60+ teams as Jordan did in the playoffs just to get to the finals LeBron has had it way sweeter than Jordan, the man had a rule named after him " Jordan rules" just to try and stop him and it still didn't work, Jordan played 8 full seasons of 82 games that's mental and physical toughness LeBron only played 1 or 2 full 82 game seasons in his entire career he can't play all 82 games consistently he needs breaks Jordan didn't need breaks he played through mental and physical beatings and still accomplished way more than LeBron in is 12-13 years with the bulls compared to LeBron 18 seasons it's not even close it's laughable the media tries so hard to push the narrative on LeBron lmao
@@zsmoove3108 well what can I say. The media actually loves Jordan more. Just look at skip, Stephen A, max Kellerman, and the countless of players from the 90s that hate today’s NBA and think bron isn’t the GOAT.(my bad I meant to say MJ but I accidentally said lebron)
@@bigb8862 you’re delusional if you don’t think LBJ is at the same level as MJ. First off you’re not wrong when you say that bron has played MVP caliber players such as AD, Kyrie, and D-wade. But don’t act like MJ didn’t play with Scottie pippen who was an MVP caliber player as well. Then you bring up the fact that lebron has beat less 50+ win teams in the playoffs. Which is a misleading stat because while teams usually are great in the regular season and in the playoffs. There are some teams that are great in the regular season but turn bad in the playoffs. A great example are the cavs and the 76rs that both had over 50 wins and lost in the first round to MJ despite having a great record. This stat is also misleading cause the KD warriors won 55 games yet are considered the greatest team in NBA history. So regular season games don’t really matter in the playoffs. Then you bring up the fact that MJ “had rules made for him and still beat the pistons” even though the pistons literally owned MJ and the bulls for like 3 years 😂. Then you bring up another point which is that ”Lebron needed breaks and MJ didn’t” even though Jordan took like 3 year long breaks to replenish his ability. Which was one of the main reasons he could play till he was like 40. Lebron takes breaks because he load manages to save his energy for the playoffs. And most of the games he takes off are against bad teams like the hornets or the kings. And while Lebron does have only one season where he played 82 games. If you look at his total games per season you will notice that most of the time he’ll play like 72-78 games a season which is still super good. If anything MJ playing every single game was bad long term because his energy would be down in the playoffs. And how can you say that “bron had it sweeter than MJ” even though lebron literally had to go up against all time great teams like the spurs and the warriors without help equal to those teams. And off the court MJ had it way sweeter than lebron cause bron is hated for literally anything he says and the media comes for him the most stupid things. Like for example, when he showed up at his sons bronny’s basketball game and started having fun and dunking. The media literally said “lebron is trying to steal his son’s shine and spotlight what a front runner” and Lebron has also had the word “nigger” sprayed at the gate of his house. Lebron in my opinion isn’t even the GOAT yet but I think it’s time people start showing some respect for lebron cause he’s really one of the nicest guys in the league and a great basketball player. But most importantly a great family man and Human being in general. I love both MJ and Bron. Have a good day brother.
Fun Fact: Michael Jordan was 1st Team all-defense from his 1st championship up to his last at 35yo. Lebron has not made all-defense teams since 2014 at 29yo. Jordan is better at both offense AND defense so I don't know how people can argue Lebron is better...
Lebron has played 17 full season & only has 5 all 1st Def. Lebron is arguably the best athlete to ever step foot on the court & has only made 5. That’s such an underachievement. CP3 has more 1st Def teams than bron & he’s like a midget compared to him.... This will be another year where he doesn’t receive that award, book it !
Bruh just made it very clear and I believe the whole planet agrees that Michael Jordan is the GOAT. Thanks bruh for the best video regarding who the GOAT is.

Lebron after winning 2020 championship- “ that made me the greatest of all time right there” A true king never crowns himself. Jordan never called himself the goat, he lets people do it for him. THATS GOAT SHIT

Sorry if you already have, but a video debunking and disproving the “Jordan is 1-9 without pippen” argument would be fantastic! So many people use it without any context whatsoever and try to diminish him for it
*1988 ECFR Bulls vs Cavs* Jordan: 45.2 - 5.4 - 4.8 - 2.8 - 1.6 Pippen: 10.6 - 5.2 - 2.4 - 0.8 - 1.0 *2006 ECFR Cavs vs Wizards* LeBron: 35.7 - 7.5 - 5.7 - 1.3 - 0.7 Hughes: 12.3 - 2.8 - 4.0 - 2.8 - 0.2 Can we say that Larry Hughes had a bigger part in helping LeBron getting his first playoff series win than Pippen helping Jordan?
Because a young MJ with scrubs played one of the greatest teams ever in the first round twice. The Lebron fans elude to him missing the playoffs his first 2 years and he didn’t face the best team in the league in the first round. East was weak.
I can think of one, he was just way better than anyone eve was, and you only need to actually watch bball, and not only marketing driven talk shows, to see that. Obvious.
2 minutes in and he has already showed how jordan is the goat and he hasn't mentioned rings yet.. I try to tell lebron fans when they compare him to jordan, that it be them that mentions the rings.. We might mention how he undefeated in the finals, but we don't mention the rings because we don't have to.. Jordan in a league of his own..
LBJ fans think all MJ fans have is the ring/undefeated finals argument, that’s just a big part of it but he has a lot of arguments as to why he’s the goat. LBJ fans just refuse to acknowledge it and repeat whatever dumb shit Shannon/Nick said.
Just image that LeBooboo is in his 19th season and he JUST got his 4 💍 this past season. Make no mistake, no AD no 💍. In my opinion he is all media hype and extremely overrated.
I started watching NBA in 91, I clearly remember the switch hand move versus the Lakers, it was awesome. You are right about everything (I can attest), specially about the Bulls not being a super-team, that was MJ's show, period. The 90's where the most competitive era, too. Great video!
As much as I love to watch MJ on offense I think that he was just as impressive on defense. He played defense like he could read the opponents minds and add to that playing next to one of the greatest defensive players ever to play in Pippen. They were a truly deadly duo on both ends of the court.
This is a great, excellent video! Nick Wright, Shannon Sharpe, and others who believe/still believe Lebron is the GOAT must watch this video. This video should shut them all up for good. Thank you, man, for this video. You did a heckuva job!
MJ is the greatest, but he's also the originator of a lot. Like Hendrix, even if others come after with a bit more polish, MJ gets credit for his novel moves, immaculate fadeaway, approach to the game, etc. Now, people can just learn from watching him and imitate.
People think MJ became the best player in the league once he began to win chips. The truth is, during his 13 seasons with the bulls, he was the best player every year including his rookie season. He just didn't have help until Pip.
Jordan also got called the GOAT during the summer of his final year of college by legendary coach Bob Knight. Bird, who was in the GOAT conversation during the time, called Jordan the best as a rookie and admitted that Jordan was doing more than him for his team. The chips just silenced the critics and made him a complete player.
They dare to try and compare Brady to him. Six NBA Finals appearances, six titles, six MVPs. Whenever anyone questions Michael Jordan’s status as the greatest ever, it is usually this record that ends any and all arguments. Because, in other ways, other players are able to surpass Jordan. Bill Russell finished with more rings, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar finished with more points, and (sacrilege alert!) LeBron James might be a more dangerous all-around player. And, as James seeks his 11th straight Finals appearance, it can be debated that just getting to the Finals is an enormous accomplishment in and of itself. But what cannot be debated is, that each and every time Jordan made the Finals, he not only won, but was named MVP every single time. 6 for 6 6x MVP is nothing to sneeze at, thats extremely difficult to accomplish, and that record may never be Broken. For someone to be considered better than Jordan they would have to go 7 for 7, 7x Finals MVP. Perfection is hard to top.
The reason Michael Jordan is the goat and not lebron is leadership. Lebron doesn't make players around him better like Mike. The Bulls played defense 😳
That’s so true lebron just trades all of his teammates and buys his way to victory. Michael Jordan has true leadership and skill and made his team that were not that good go to the top. Now that is a skill very, very few players have.
Aight MJ is undoubtedly the GOAT to me but to say LeBron don’t make his teammates better is absolutely ridiculous. I guess y’all never seen how he elevated those early Cavs teams with no help. The 2015 finals, the 2018 playoffs, like do y’all watch basketball?

So true! When Reggie Miller pushed him practically to half court to hit the game winning 3 in their ECF at Indiana, MJ didn't flop, didn't bitch, didn't whine. He just played better next game. LeFlop doesn't understand this (not this generation).
Nor a load manager. 6 missed games in the 6 titles seasons. Combined. Tonight Kyrie is missing his 11th game of the year. Of the calendar year. We're still in February.
There is nobody in his league. Exceptional Defensive player. If you had 1 shot to take or a game to salt away he is the most clutch player of all time. He was a pit bull you're not topping him in a game and he doesn't need his friends to win
Excellent video man - I'm glad you included iconic moments and MJ's global influence on basketball. I believe he is one of the few athletes that transcended his sport. (edited for grammar)
Young fellow! U forgot to mention one key points. The asthethic aspect of his game. He was like an artist on the court. People who don't even like or watch bball would watch Jordan play.
PER was invented so people could use math to make MJ look better than WIlt. It's complete B.S. The math punishes players for playing more minutes and dilutes their per game stats.
@@reneecastle6746 Just the truth. PER looks at the contribution by minutes, not game. If you did it per game then Wilt is so far ahead you would have to create a formula to say otherwise..LOL If Wilt was given credit for his blocks and steals he would be so far ahead of everyone it would seem unreal.... like most of Wilts accomplishments

@@karanveerdhillon7867 oh he was. If you've seen Kobe, just imagine that but more efficient, faster stronger and better on defense. Like a doberman in sneakers
You can never predict the future but the way the game is I doubt we’ll ever see another Jordan again. He arrived in the league at the perfect time, as it was slowly progressing thanks to Magic & Bird after a bad patch. Then Jordan came in and took the NBA to another level. Ratings peaked in the MJ era.
The bulls in 96 won 72 games jordan and Pippen were mvp candidates and dpoy candidates also Dennis Rodman was and he lead the league in rebounding Toni and Steve Kerr were both 6 man of the year candidates and Steve Kerr lead the league in 3 point shooting. Bulls also had 3 players on the all defensive first team lol . So Phil Jackson coach of the year jordan mvp dpoy candidate all nba first team and all defensive team lead the league in scoring Scottie Pippen was mvp and dpoy candidate all nba first team and all defensive first team Dennis Rodman dpoy candidate all defensive first team and lead league in rebounds Toni 6th man of the year best Euro player in the nba Steve Kerr 6th man of the year candidate best 3 point shooter in the league by percentage in fact has the best 3 point percentage in nba history also won the 3 point contest the 96 bulls are historically known as one of the top 5 greatest teams in nba history but you let a kid who wasn’t even alive explain that jordan wasn’t on a super team than wtf kind of team is it then you people can not be this brainwashed and stupid

Another participating factor is the fact MJ has copious amounts of skill compared to LBJ. LBJ has zero flare, he just runs to the hoop and everyone 'has to move' doesn't do anything fancy or defies gravity like my man, AIR JORDAN

@@ovah_eaz-e are u kidding me todys game has a bunch of want to be guards playing center, there is no center in todays nba. Jordan played in the golden age of the center position
Jordan never joined a super team because HE WAS the super team. I'm a LeBron and Lakers fan, but we can't ague with facts, LeBron's having a great career and can win more champs if he and AD stay healthy, but he can't reach MJ's level yet, it's unbelievable what this man did and accomplished thoughrout his career. MJ will always be the GOAT!
Bro you fucking KILLED it with this video! This video pretty much ends the GOAT debate once and for all. MJ is the GOAT, & always will be. Great video!
