A new take on the old "Goat Debate" that I hope is somewhat refreshing. From what I can tell this is the first ever 91 Jordan vs 13 LeBron video on RU-vid. Enjoy.
I know this might sound crazy but didn't 2006 kobe shoot 42% from three when not trying some crazy buzzer beater or some bad shot, while also averaging 35 ppg in a era where teams were averaging 92 ppg, his team averaging 89 ppg, and carried a team with Kwame brown being the 2nd best player, to the playoffs. Better than a prime Jordan imo he just didn't have alot of help, if any
@@yourface591 is this a diss? I can’t tell if you are tryna say he had no comp when in reality if you look at who he played against in the era he played in it’s much more impressive what he has done
Jordan had no comp compared to LeBron, the game has gotten harder over time, you diehard Jordan fans cant accept that, Jordan was the best, in his time, and lebron was the best in his. Stop being such babies about it, in todays game, (no disrespect to Jordan) Jordan would be great, but not the best.
Today's game has Zack Levine average 30ppg. Jordan made his name by actively seeking and destroying multiple defenders' at once in the most tight spaces and it didnt matter if it was on the ground or in mid-air. He would be too much of an animalistic savage for today's game. The UN would send troops to stop the massacre.
@@zerogtoxik6020 style, elegance, physicality, I.Q, heart, determination, dog, Athleticism, Finesse, Clutch, post game interviews.....MJ had every tool in the tool box. a true 1 of 1. Lebron is great in his own right....MJ really is just different lol
Stop the comparison! It will always be MJ the (GOAT) then everybody else. Everyone else are measured by MJ and what he has accomplished in the short amount of time in the NBA, plus what could have happen had he not retired in between the two three-peat, or had not the Bull' s front office not disband the team after the last game of the second three-peat!!! Never got a chance to defend the Championship!!!
And people keep arguing Lebron is more all around player and Jordan is a scorer. Look at the stats, Jordan can do well on scoring, defending, assisting, stealing, etc. The undisputed Goat.
I’m not a LeBron hater, as a diehard Laker fan. I’m glad he came to the Lakers and he got us another championship and I do think he gets too much heat but I think a lot of the heat comes from either his fans being just really annoying or people in the media who have an existing bias and only tell half-truths and I think that really upsets people, and it brings LeBron more heat than praise. But yeah, there are so many misleading stuff out there about this debate. When you have people like Nick Wright same things like “will championships don’t matter so you can’t take away from LeBron that he doesn’t have as many rings does Michael because that’s a team accomplishment” but then he’ll turn around and criticize Michael for never beating the Celtics in a series so he picks when he wants to use certain logic and then at the same time he never wants to bring up what happen with LeBron in the finals in 2007 or 2011. Not seeing that one day, there will be a better player than Michael Jordan, and I do believe LeBron is one of the all-time greats, but he’s not the greatest of all time, and he’s not the one that’s going to be looked at as the goat when it’s all said, and done.
@@nguasaya1305 Lakers were physically and mentally exhaused from three straight Finals trips. Steve Kerr lamented about this when he talked about the mental and physical grind of the 3-Peat Chicago Bulls. He said that's why the Bulls were never gonna win 8 straight Finals. There is a reason no team has 3-Peated in the NBA since the 2000s Lakers it takes a ton out of you and you need a break. Kobe was dealing with a bad ankle and knee which he had to get drained. Also the Dallas Mavericks were a team of destiny and shot like 80% from 3 pt land one game.
Surely he would have. That Dallas team ate everyone up for breakfast on the west including Kobe then beat the heat. That Lakers team actually got swept it was that embarrassing.
Jordan played when they tried to take your head off. They were allowed to physically punish you. If they laid you out, you were laid out. You didnt have to fake a foul. You earned the call when that whistle blew. A lot of moves done today can be attributed to MJ. Others are given credit as it being their signature move, but it can be traced back to MJ. He did so much that others are given credit for developing. Pistol Pete contributed a lot of moves todays players use too. But this is an MJ/Lebron post. Lebron is special, but Jordan is a totally different animal. 6'6, 220 with I believe is a 48 inch vertical and reportedly ran a 4.3 40yd sprint. Lebron is physically imposing, but watch the way they move. Jordan has a grace to him. If I wanted to be on a team and contribute, I'd want to play with Lebron. Hes more of a person that will empower you to be your better self. If I wanted to win, give me Jordan. I feel he'd RIP your head off. As I understand he was a bully. Lebron is the better teammate.
Lebron left the cavs after 7 years after they gave him nothing to work with. At the 7 year mark in Jordan's bulls career, they gave him a championship caliber roster to work with.
@@anonymoususer2080 hate how people keep saying he had nothing to work with. remember lineups then didnt have a lot of good players. plus larry hughes, delonte mo williams, ilgauskas, gooden and boozer ben wallace, werent slouches

Bruh the only stat I need is that Lebron has LOST as many rings as Jordan has WON and NO team EVER even took Mike to a SEVENTH GAME IN THE FINALS!!

Jordan was as complete as a player could get. He was a joy to watch. To see how in in stats how he improved in the playoffs showed what you saw was real
The crazy shit is to watch where the Bulls put Jordan to play as their PG. In them 24 games his numbers were as good or even greater than any PG who ever played the game.
It’s not even a contest. The Bulls were a complete afterthought as a team before Jordan joined, he almost singlehandedly turned the franchise around. LeBron had to jump ship to already winning teams to break thru and win a championship.
@@Sf75178 he still has the best all time numbers in almost every category (and it’s not even close) and that’s still with taking a year off at his peak, and then being rusty when he came back. It’s honestly not even a debate.
There was reason, the country wanted to be like Mike. people know in their gut, an overwhelming force when they see one. lebron is great but Jordan he aint. Not by any stretch of imagination. A GOAT makes you surrender to this greatness. That was MJ. That never was LBJ! Any year. Any time.
@Infamous Styles301 yea you can say he “outworked him” just like you can say Kobe outworked everybody else cuz he quite frankly did , but he’s not better at basketball than LeBron simple as that , LeBron is quite frankly better than Kobe at literally everything
@Infamous Styles301 I don’t wanna hear you ever talk basketball again you goofy , did you just call Kobe a better passer and better basketball IQ than LeBron ??????
Nah I got 88. Imagine being the best scorer and player in the league, and the best defensive player in the league as a guard. MJ was his most complete during this season with not just his offensive game but his defensive just as much.
I’m tired of the comparisons between Michael and Lebron, two different era’s. Michael won 6 titles with the Bulls, Lebron has been chasing him with several teams... Michael never lost in the finals, took two years off to play baseball and then the GM split the team, which they probably would have won 2 more titles. Michael is the GOAT...... but respect that he doesn’t say he is, that’s says it all, he respects the players before him and that says it all.
If my life depended on the last shot to win the game, I'd give the ball and my life in the hands of Michael Jordan, not Lebron. I think I answered the question.
91 Jordan is def the greatest. By the 4 minute mark its clear. Also points weren't cheap in Jordan's era. The game was more physical and MJ played in the harder conference. In Lebrons era the Eastern Conference was atrocious for the most part. The SRS stats show that as well
Jordan played expansion and bad recruiting. You know every school in greec built a hoop after petrovic. Think about how many were built in the us after jordan
@@flightsplugg4886 bigger stronger yeah, more explosive better shooter and defender no, he’s a good basketball player but he’s a glorified stat chaser that averages 42 minutes a game. Jordan didn’t even avenge 30. Does he ever end a season with a 50 40 90 ? No and he can’t hit a free throw to save his life, his game is flawed homie. Not the same breed Jordan never lost in the finals either. What’s Lebrons stats on that?

@@zerogtoxik6020 Peak MJ is far better than peak LeBron and every advanced metric proves it....LeBron’s only argument over MJ all time is longevity which is a pretty good argument but you LeBron fans need to stop acting like LeBron is a BETTER player than MJ because in my honest opinion he isn’t even close.
@@zerogtoxik6020 that's such an ignorant statement saying Jordan had no competition, educate yourself and watch youtube videos explaining why that is not the case
@@zerogtoxik6020 you do know that MJ faced more 50-60 win teams in the playoffs (especially in the east) than LeBron, right? You Bron fanboys will always say LeBron had more comp when you completely don’t acknowledge LeBron’s weak eastern conference competition.
Fact is that Jordan was just so Dominant that it is not even fair to compare other players to him. They all appear so tiny next to his Airness. As Great as Lebron is, he too gets Stomped. It's not even close. As Magic himself said -- "There is Michael Jordan...and then there's the rest of us."
@@MasterSpadeI think prime Wilt Chamberlain was superior to prime Kareem, judging by stat output in their prime years, skills, athletic talent, and their head to heads in Wilt’s final years.
@@maanelid -- Peak Wilt maybe is better than Peak Kareem. Thing is, Wilt has great individual stats, but "Team Dominance"...? When Ranking All Time players, everything has to be compared. While other players have the opposite, like Russell. He has great Team Dominance, but Individual? Kareem had a better balance. The only one set in stone for me is Jordan. He is #1, by FAR. Team Dominance, Individual Dominance, Offense, Defense, Clutch Play, everything. I can see Wilt as high as #3, and as low as #7. He had help, why didn't he win more? Maybe his game just wasn't about winning, and all about stats? Where do you rank Wilt?
@@MasterSpade Yes KAJ had more team dominance in his career. I think though Wilt's 68 Sixers and 72 Lakers are as dominant or more dominant than any version of KAJ's Lakers. Also I think if Wilt had the same team and coaching situation as KAJ had for a career, we'd see many more chips for Wilt than just 2 (very plausibly 6). Overall, I'd personally rank peak Wilt 1 among centers, with peak Kareem or Hakeem at 2. As for Jordan, I find it hard to compare elite perimeter/wing players to elite centers meaningfully, but among perimeter/wing players, I agree, Jordan is head and shoulders above the rest still.
1987-92 MJ for me. But specifically 1987&1988. He was unstoppable in those days. I mean the things he’d do, I’ve yet to be seen replicated by any NBA player. No version of LeBron or Kobe would be able to contain late 80s Jordan.
I can’t thank you enough for the videos you made man. I think it’s a damn shame that we have to rely on RU-vidrs like yourself to tell the truth because people in sports media have an existing biased and want to tell half-truths or just flat out lie. When you make your videos, you never make them to disrespect another player you just are stating the facts says they are in there isn’t enough people in sports media doing that today. Keep up the great work.
Lebron is not underrated in the clutch. He’s actually just not a clutch player. The media moved the goal post to help him appear as if he’s better in the actual clutch than what he really is. Clutch is clutch. When the score is tight and you have to give a player the ball, it’s MJ, it’s Bird. After that , I’d go Reggie Miller, Kobe and creeping into the conversation is Damien Lillard. Lebron can’t even get a good shot off cuz he doesn’t have a dependable jumper. Modern analytics can help anyone’s narrative if they are selective with the criteria. Just know that there are alternative analytics that will counter those same narratives. Be careful
LOL that statment hasn't applied since 2011. Lebron's jumper is plenty dependable now. His 2018 run was filled with clutch shots and he was the closer for both his 2012 and 2013 runs. Watch the games.
@@xaviervega468 Like I said before, any player nowadays can hit a shot in the clutch. That’s not what makes them a clutch player. It’s doing it time and time again. Odd how the narrative switched from how he wasn’t clutch to where the media moved the goal post by making the conversation more about stats in the last 5 min of the fourth. That’s moving the goal post. Being a “closer” is not the same as being clutch and Lebron is NOT that good at closing anyway. Selecting a series run over an 18 year career does not qualify as clutch.
@@elipaurini2303 Are you really trying to select one year out of 18 and trying to apply that to his “clutch” argument? I think that logic works in my favor🤣🤣
Where was that skill set in a near elimination, requiring Ray Allen to save the series that would have been over in 99.95% of games played in history? The Spurs couldn't secure a 5 point lead with 23 seconds left to end what should have been a 4 games to 2 win. Spurs came back the following year with a gentlemen's sweep, forcing LeFraud to ditch teams again.
Lebron shouldve averaged more assists since he always has the ball and 2 hof, and there r no real pf or c's in 2013. 90s was the golden age of competition and big men.
Until we see someone have a career average of more than 30ppg at more than 50% fg shooting, have more than 6 rings, go undefeated in the finals moreso, win 3 dunk champs, change fashion style, get well over heads with the rim, be voted the NBA's top 50 player, who is cooler, a better perceived role model for kids, elevates his stats in crunch time and playoffs, had a better looking jump shot, better looking dunks, was a smarter playmaker, was hungrier to win, had better more physical cut-throat dirty cheating opponents, who plays when the league brings back hand checking, when parody returns to the NBA, was defensive player for more years, who trashed talked more, scored more than 69pts in 1 game, sells more jerseys sneakers and posters, who has a higher valued rookie card, when his opponents admitted he was the best in their era after his career ends, who wins who plays on a more talented Dream Team and wins more USA gold metals, has a major shoe deal with 2 companies, has more awesome stories, plays 2 sports better, more videos made about him, has more high lights per game, draws bigger crowds at games, draws more TV viewers, made more commercials and movies, is more athletic somehow, known on mars, and the list continues... then we will know someone finally topped MJ. Until then, MJ is hands down the best player the world has ever witnessed. To top him in just a few of these, does not justify them as the GOAT. Even to tie him, MJ still did it first. Folks, we likely will not ever experience a new GOAT.
I agree MJ is currently the GOAT but this is bullshit you don't have to have a better looking jumpshot , a higher vertical , making better movies, selling more shoes? Like cmon 🙄 Carrying a team to a championship in great fashion more than 6 times and scoring with great efficiency is enough to be the G.O.A.T not all this bullshit you MJ peasants speak of... so basically what hakeem olajuwon did but 4-6 times or more? The G.O.A.T. I'll say it again I agree MJ is the current GOAT but there's someone out there with the fire 🔥 in his soul that has what it takes to be the new GOAT! 🐐Oh yeah and It hasn't even been 20 whole years since MJ retired so how could you say there may never be another GOAT? You think 20 years is enough time to see another player like Michael Jordan if not better? That's a once in half a century type of player right there
I used to be a diehard Lebron fan 8 straight years. But last year that changed because of our political differences and him trashing my views. So now I look this data again with no biased glasses on and now I realized that there is no competition between MJ and Lebron. Michael Jordan is the GOAT. That accomplisment list is unreal. And c'mon, MJ lost 0 times in the finals while Lebron already has 6 losses. But main reason why MJ is incredible is that he did all that in 5 less years than Lebron has done now and MJ's list is still more incredible. Also 90s were much tougher era.
Lebron is one of the best players ever, but Michael Jordan IS the best player ever. Unstoppable offense and shutdown defense. When Jordan was asked to play point guard for a brief period of time, he had numerous triple doubles. If Michael was asked to pass or rebound first and shoot 2nd, he would have found a way to be the best PG of all time.
Michael didnt play the point for just a brief period. He was the Bulls' point guard for most of the 1988 and 1989 playoffs' and for the whole 1991 Finals', and he was sensational.
Id go with Wilt, with his offense shaq would of fouled out in the first quarter. Wilt would of bullied shaq, his strength is legendary Shaq just had bulk but no muscle compared to Wilt.
I’d pick Jordan in his worst year over LeBron in his best. I’ll take Washington Wizards Jordan over 2013 LeBron. Jordan led a band of scrubs to the playoffs.
Are you high? Lebron led a bunch of g-leaguers to the finals before 25. Jordan struggled to make it to the playoffs let alone get out of the first round at that age
Jordan didn’t “lead” them to anything but two consecutive thirty win seasons and neither of them resulted in a playoff berth. Plus, he was an inefficient shot chucker who couldn’t play consistent defense. He had no business starting in the ASG as a replacement over Vince Carter, who the media pressured to give up his spot in the first place.
Jordan made players that would make Labron look like a middle school basketball player, embarrassed, he is and always will be in a different league, zero comparison, any questions for people that dont know or have never had the privilege to watch Jordan, just watch one minute of highlights, that will explain everything and set you straight to who the best is, always Jordan, period
1991 Mike made a clutch shot to go to OT against the Lakers in the Finals and locked up magic in OT to avoid going down 1-2 with the series going back to LA. 2013 Bron was outplayed by Danny Green in the first three games of the Finals and was saved by Ray Allen. It's an easy choice.
One of the most overlooked things in that series, LBJ was playing like a 2nd/3rd option again those first few games. Averaging 16.7 ppg on 38.9% the first 3 games, at no point was MJ averaging this in any series. Going into game 6 he was averaging only 21.6 ppg on 43.6%, still way below his average. LBJ fans...this is why a lot of people say “Ray Allen saved his finals legacy” at that time, bc he did. Had LBJ lost he would’ve been 1-3 in the finals, losing 3 while playing way below his average and choking vs Mavs.
@@eazyduzit-tr3nx Bron was a monster in games 6 and 7 though. Bron haters NEVER give him credit for closing out both games. Ray Allen SAVED that game 6, but Bron still had to close it out in OT.
1991 Jordan's finals numbers - 31.2 ppg, 11.2 app, 2.8 spg, 1.4 bpg, .558 FG5 and .500 from 3 land... Lebron's never done anything close to that stat line in the finals.. the one time he averaged more ppg, he was a terrible .397 from the field. Even in 2018/2020, he didn’t have anywhere near Jordan’s efficiency, had nearly twice the turnovers, was considered mediocre on defense while Jordan was the best by far on both ends, averaging near 3 steals and 1.4 blocks per game, scoring 13 field goals in a row and “the move”
@@dynamic6645 Are you really cherry picking one individual stat to try and portray Magic as outplaying Jordan? Should I pick Deandre Jordan's rebounding to say he outplays Lebron? Even despite scoring 31 points per game, Jordan had the 3rd highest assists per game that finals series of all time with 11.4, after Russell and Magic. Jordan also shut him down in OT in a vital game, holding him to 0-0-1. Gamescore was 29.4 Jordan to Magic 20... not even close! Meanwhile, Durant vs Lebron? 2017 30.3 to 29.6 in favor of Durant. 2018? 28.3 to 26.9, but Lebron chose not to guard Durant because he was too dominant. And, well, we all know 2011 wasn't even close. Seriously, when did a player even come close to Jordan's gamescore or PER in a finals series? Hell, find me just one playoff series. The only one that exists is rusty 95 Jordan, where Jordan still outplayed Shaq.
Um you’re forgetting 2016 finals where he averaged like 29.7 ppg, 11.3rebounds , 8.9 assists, 2.6 steals and 2.3 blocks on 50 percent shooting. Ur also forgetting 2020 finals where he averaged 29.8 ppg, 11.8 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 1.2 stls and 0.5 blocks on 59 percent shooting. So yeah those are definitely close to Jordan’s performance.
@@jasonmoukala8909 You mean 2020 when he was outplayed by Kevin Durant, especially in the clutch? I’m not forgetting those. Neither were goat-worthy. 2016 win was by far his best, but he was playing a small ball team with an injured Steph (three games back in and after an awful houston series). Not to mention stats/PER is significantly inflated now. You’ve got Luka, giannis, Trae and all sorts of guys averaging triple doubles regularly. In the 90s, the leader usually had four for the entire season. In 2016, even Lebron’s second option Kyrie averaged almost 30 ppg like lebron, hitting clutch shots. So I stand by my statement. Compare game scores for all players in each finals series with Lebron and Jordan. You’ll see how big of a gap it is. That’s the only way other than going back and watching, where it’s obvious as well.
That’s facts people say lebron is a better passer cuz he gets more assists. Really? I’m not denying his passing ability but he gets almost 3 more turnovers than jordan and sometimes more. Jordan doesn’t turn the ball over and gives an amazing pass when he needs to. Lebron is looking for the pass too often for his ability and while he does give amazing assists, he also turns the ball over a lot more too. Jordan passes when he needs to and when he can’t he doesn’t turn the ball over. Lebron looks for the pass too much and turns the ball over much more. To me you are a better passer with 8 assists and 0 turnovers then 12 assists and 4 turnovers because you aren’t giving up the ball
@@HaroonKhan-wd2dz imo Jordan would have also been a better passer if he got to show it, pippen held his team play making back a notch because he didn’t facilitate
@@austindorsey-steele1368 1. He isnt a pass first player, he is a scorer that can pass the ball, no pass first players average more shots than all of their teamates in every single team they play, 2.

To be honest, in my opinion, the best version of MJ was in the late 80s, that period would have been immortalized if he won a chip, but Boston, Detroit and LA were in his way.
MJ was a true leader obsessed with winning basketball championships, he's not out politicking, not focusing on anything else but winning at basketball. You can debate numbers, and stats but MJ's drive and focus is the difference. Lebron might be a better physical athlete but that's about it.

Also he involved and trusted his team mates more from 1990. But let's be real, it's almost impossible to split 87-93 seasons at all. And 96-98 he was different but still undeniably the best player.
@@m74d3 Yeah man I agree. Look at 86, he averages 44ppg for series in the first round against the beast 86 Celtics. Amazing! But in 93 he averages 41ppg Finals series against a great Suns team. Which was also next level as three-peat is a big deal. Difference is leadership and overall IQ.
Jordan from 88 - 93 is a better player than LeBron EVER was. Or any player in history basically. Should’ve been MVP every one of those seasons with 93 Barkley or Hakeem having a strong case with him.

brons era u aren't allowed to play defense in jordans era u could damn near beat jordan up... there is no comparison Bron is average in a softer league jordan DOMINATED a physical league...
I'm an old school fan and haven't followed the game since 97... It's obvious defense isn't as important as it used to be in Jordans day today. Was it similar in 2013??
Sometimes I watch LeBron and I think to myself "I could probably do that if I had his physique and frame". Not once when watching MJ have I thought "Yeah I could do that". MJ was an artist. He just moved differently. That's the difference.
