Chris Broussard reacts to LeBron passing MJ on the all-time scoring list | NBA | FIRST THINGS FIRST 

First Things First: Cris Carter and Nick Wright if Lebron becomes the #1 leading scorer of all time then yes. Nobody thought anybody would ever catch Kareem, especially not lebron. If you go back in time 10 years to 2009 before Lebron went to Miami. And told everyone Lebron will go down as the all time leading scorer, people would think ur crazy and lying.

He solidified himself as a better all-around basketball player than Jordan when he led his team to winning the 2016 championship coming back down 3-1 while he was playing with a pass first mentality (assisting on 50% of his teams shots) when the odds were stacked against his team. Everything that he's been doing since then will be the frosting, icing, sprinkles, and the lit candles added on top to make his case even stronger.

Mistah Unknown nah.....

@@MistahUnknown stop it Nick. delete your burner account.

Hello no!

@G-man Saying LeBron is the best ever, that's a lie. Completely overrated and honestly, quite disappointing. LeBron James is the G.L.O.A.T. *Greatest Loser Of All Time*

@@brucebruce5103 Facts

@G-man Nick wrong saying lequit is be better than MJ is a lie

@G-man that Lebron is a better passer...the only time Jordan was asked to be ball dominate like Lebron ie ball in hand and making decisions, he put up numbers Lebron never has in a season: "Jordan continued to play at the PG spot until the end of the season. In these 24 games he averaged 30.4 pts, 9.2 rebs, 10.7 asts & 2.4 stls. Between March 24 and April 14, 1989, he recorded a triple double in ten of the eleven games, including seven consecutive ones. In the game he didn’t record a TD, he finished with 40 points, 11 assists and 7 rebounds."

@@brucebruce5103 come on dude. Now thats a little too far....saying lebron is overrated is like saying kobe or tom brady is overrated. Like chris said, lebron has been hyped since high school and he exceeded it not only he exceeded it, he literally the best player in the world for pretty much almost a decade. You gotta give lebron credit for that and he got cleveland a championship in basketball. Hes not better than jordan but hes obviously top 10 and debatable as top 5.

LMFAO

Kakaroto K 😂

Facts 😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Loser

@ Saeed Vilanueva....it's amazing how Broussard does make his arguments but NEVER mentions Kobe. From 2000-2010 Kobe went to 7 Finals and won 5 rings!! ....and he did it for the same team with 2 completely different core units

Real talk

Facts

@@pfunk42 Kobie was not teh best player on 2 of those rings

You ever notice how much he stutters when he’s arguing with someone that’s spitting fact at him and using his points against him

UtotheJ I can get behind that point, heeeuuuuuge favorites to win, huge, and you had Dwade and Bosh to help

this is actually a very good point

Not only losing but Barrera and Terry outplayed him. Not even the HOF that MJ went against in The Finals out played him. JJ Barrera is 5'8

That Dallas team beat a lot of your favorite players that year. That team is very underrated

Facts. Since we giving values for rings to make other players look better. I don't care if the whole team is full of all stars, if you are the best player on that team, your ring is valuable. All rings that aren't valuable are the one's from players that barely contribute, like the white mamba.

HAHAHA CC tried it

Just pure disrespect.

Nick Wrong , Colin & Shannon Shame needs psychiatric help

colin's kinda turning the corner on lebron. he is a professional flip-flopper tho

@Tod Wilkinson You a kid, or OCD. But, what about 2015 when Ky and Love both got injured.

arj1986 I wouldn’t say he annihilated him, nick definitely held his own

Matthew Pettiford On what exactly?

Facts 💯

@kixgod.com ummmm, i'm sure jordan was fustrated with his team getting knocked out of the playoffs each year before the GM started putting players around MJ lol.

@@quantrellh.4939 im sure lebron was tired of getting swept in the finals so he keeps changing teams

Fr on god

ThreeCreators no facts should bother him? WTF

"has him beat in every stat" well he better, there's no defense in 2019

no he didn't. he always looks like that

Chris a real one

AEO it’s Chris Broussard the 🐐

Ray Flacco Jordan had a game in the playoffs where he played 46 minutes and only took 8 shots the entire game and finished with 12 points. Larry Bird had 8 points in a Finals game. Magic dribbled the clock out in the Finals game. Kobe shot his team out of a Finals game in 2004. It happens to everybody 🤷🏾‍♂️ Whether or not you choose to acknowledge it or ignore it is based off how much you like the player or how much you hate them

Wade County facts

Wade County I’m specifically talking about MJ that playoff game did happen but Lebron James did it on the biggest stage. He choked. This was after he mocked Dirk for being sick and he got cocky thinking the series was over. Big mistake he proceeded to choke for the rest of the series.I understand you’re a little bit bias since Lebron helped you win those titles but you have to admit no superstar choked more on a championship stage than Lebron did that series. Not to mention how Lebron said he’d win not four not five not six not seven championships and he wasn’t joking he really thought he could win all those titles

Biggest stain on LBJ record losing to dwight Howard and the starless magic

@@likemikegenerationx2 LeBron was outplayed by Jason Terry in every statistical category but rebounds...in 10 less minutes per game. You mention 1 bad playoff game LeBron choked a whole series away.

oskaveli662 Chris doesn’t know what to say haha

Broussard the goat analyst... Always facts

Influence and impact is definitely lebron by the way. And I would say talent and intangibles are probably lebron as well for his freakish height and athleticism

Tod Wilkinson well Lebron is still playing in the league lol

Less shots - LeBron

@@DebtlessJet influence and impact strictly basketball is Jordan and it aint even close... off the court/away from the game yes...

@@russellmusictv4403 more finals appearances... less rings

No wonder the Lebron love, this dude is a kid like me lol. And I’m 24. Luckily my Pops schooled me on history so I know what’s what

Feel u, I was born 82, but everyone knew about MJ before I was even in public school lmaoooo I had to be 4-5 yrs old wantin to “be like mike”! 💯

Marketing to kids (I wanna be like Mike, space jam) to gain popularity the bleeds into folklore that then adds to revenue of a brand that is still going strong today..... great marketing so great infact you really never needed to see who might really was...didn't need to he fit the mold...he fit the system....he fit the position....that why when a system goes to another team they find another player that fits that mold (Kobe) and then he does what the other player did as well....it's not the player it's the system.....y'all should be thank Phil for both Jordan and kobe

You don't have to grow up watching MJ. There are these things called "tapes" and "recordings" of all Michael Jordan games. With that said, Nick Wright has been dead wrong ever since he started saying Lebron is better than MJ.

LA Clippers so true I was born in 1979 so I started watching NBA in late 80s. So I saw every Jordan Finals. The man was the GOAT no dispute.

Facts

Eric Sales if we’re being fair MJ at 34 did not have the same amount of miles Lebron has at 34 on his body

@Timothy Oliver if jordan didn't take those 2 years off he could've won another title plus added another 6,000 points to his career total. the 2 years jordan took off actually helps lebron.

Timothy Oliver He didn’t quit though and lol at saying MJ had “fresh legs” after being off almost two years. Did you even see MJ play after his comeback? He was nowhere near the MJ of before. He was still very good but not the MJ of old.

@@wavebuurgslim2063 Also add steals would have put him first over john Stockton. So he could have been first in scoring, steals, and blocks for a gaurd which d wade just passed. I agree those 2 missed seasons definitely helps Lebron. Mj goat

cormag590 Agreed. He seems one of the more objective analysts that didn’t play professionally

Darren Jones he's a millennial, what else is new.

Most didn’t grow up watching MJ, people just say MJ because of the media hype.

Sean Dolan no one ever had more media hype than Lebron, and yet you still think it was because of ‘ Media Hype ‘ that people think MJ was better ? And oh btw, I for one grew up watching MJ , Magic, Bird , Isaiah etc...

Mind of the North Star Not really. Only defensively. But offensively they’re even. Jordan only averages 3 more points than LeBron while LeBron shoots better from the field and from three and averages more assists, and he beats Jordan in all the advanced offensive stats.

you don't need to grow up watching MJ there's something called tapes seeing both play looking at both players stats I give a slight edge to Lebron 90s was not a good era despite what people say expansion teams and talent that was very spread apart made it seem like it was competitive but that was just the regular season only teams with 2+ stars were legit contenders Rockets, Bulls, Jazz. Defense is overstated yea it was a tougher era but players were slower and team defenses lacked the same nuance as they do today. (help defense was illegal). Furthermore, Jordan was the one who started the super star treatment and phantom calls after he complained that the pistons were too tough. That being said Jordan was an offensive beast and like Broussard said had no weaknesses in his game, and 6 championships 6 finals MVPs you can't argue against that. And the biggest edge he has on LeBron is that killer mode (kobe has the killer mode but he's far less efficient that either player). Why I think lerbon is better: I think the 2000s was the most competitive era of basketball period. There were multiple legit contenders every year and teams with multiple all stars on it every year. Lebron single handedly carried the team to a finals against a championship Detroit pistons team. The 2010s became much more top heavy but he almost single handedly beat the warriors in 2015 and led the greatest comeback in nba history in 2016. Also put up career highs in his 15th season in both rebounds and asst. Those are my reasons. If you wanna have a civilized debate I'm game but people need to stop hating on LeBron and stop hating on "millennials"

Goat debate. And I mean Goatsard and Nickoat

@TheChongmaster LOL no he isn't. He's still as terrible an analyst as ever

Russell did dominate the league like Jordan did he did it on the defensive end and on the glass so where is he's point after that

@@jamesdravenellii2287 yeah, but he was also in the era with Wilt, so his stats and dominance are pointless against the Godly Wilt stats

I freakin hate it when they pull the bill russell card to try to defeat Jordan's 6-0 rings. You lose brain cells debating with those idiots.

Bill Russell win in high school, college and the pros. Boston didn't win anything before him and didn't win until five years after he retired. Stats don't tell the whole story with Russell. Look at the film on his peers.... Or just keep scrolling basketball reference. Russell was an exceptional athlete, was on the track team, bring the ball up and leap from the free throw line (there's video on RU-vid).

DJ Gen facts wilt dominated bill in head up matches

Yes the nba is about winning but for whos better against MJ and Lebron deep down you know it isnt fair at all Lebron 3-6 facing the warrios 3 times and Jordan 6-0 never was an underdog the championship argument isnt a fair one it just isn't that why Nick takes it out and he's right to even thougg jordan is the goat I'm just saying Jordan should have been 6-0 its not like Jordan was only suppose to win 3 tittles and and surpassed what was expected

LeBron leads Jordan in every statistical category except free throw shooting and PPG... Think about that..

Garrett Crenshaw and still 3-6 and has less accolades even tho he’s played longer and having more assists and uncontested defensive rebounds doesn’t make u better

@@lawrencemcdonald9212 sure ignore logic and facts... And finals record is a team stat not an individual one.. Bill Russell won 11 rings but you Jordan fans never mention him when you bring up Jordan being 6-0 in the finals... And the accolades argument is irrelevant... LeBron has been the best player in the league the last 10 years yet they give it to someone new to help promote the individual players in the league... You can't honestly tell me Harden had a better year than LeBron did last year all stats considered...

@@bornind.c.in8881 how many hall of famers did bill have when he won? How many did MJ have? Championship are team achievements.. who had less help?

@@bornind.c.in8881 MJ at age 34 Reg season MVP, All NBA First Team, All Defenstive First Team, All star game MVP, NBA Champion and finals MVP. LeBron at age 34 - space jam 2

He need some milk😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Quite an imagination you have.

Onlyrealmusic4life thanks

the look CC and Jenna gave each other 9:37 when Nick is trying to make his argument lol

Indeed, no sane person who watched MJ play could ever say LeGM is better, even if you ignore all the stats, just use optics, eyes don't lie, these people are delusional

Shannon is on the LBJ payroll plus it makes for good TV to go back and forth with Skip..... Nick is in Love and dreams of LeBron hitting every free-throw all nut.

stats don’t lie😐

L try again

Alex Flood facts

More Like LBJs package, the guy never gets off his nuts.

Corny

I bet your mom told you about this!

lebron has a higher VORP, WIN SHARE, +/- scoring assists literally everything in the playoffs lmao and he didnt play against white guys in short shorts and mechanics

Nor do they mention when he played ball dominant...ala PG..dribble and choose, he avg 32/8/8

Though pippen was guarding the best player

@@Sexygq17 that's a myth perpetuated by some of the idiots in the national media

@@danielk2792 at their peak jordan was better at every advanced metric

At least u not lying like Nick W does. Spot on 🎯

@@Mercurial. you sound like a typical millennial. No facts just feelings.

So could've Lebron

You could say the same about lebron. Jordan the goat, but lebron deserved more mvps from prior years.

@Tod Wilkinson you are actually arguing that Lebron isn't top 10? Just stop dude.

@Tod Wilkinson The league is different now they just give it to people based on storylines, like when Drose was gifted it instead of Lebron getting it.

Not one game! If MJ was able to run around the league and picking the superstars he would play with, he would have 10+ rings. There is nothing else to talk about, evidently, so we must have this ridiculous discussion 🤷‍♀️.

💯💯💯

I know right, they seem like they are absolutely in love with lebron. beyond all the useless babbling and silliness from them, they do in fact invest more of their personal time into the subject of lebron than professed lebron fans...lebron haters are a walking contradiction. i find them hilarious though

They are usually the first ones to watch and comment when his name is in the title. And then they complain and ask why ESPN keeps talking about him lol

smh

I feel like that’s just a compliment to lebron

Leland Joseph thought it was self explanatory, but in case you missed bfast, LeBron has had way more games to just now reach that milestone. Isn’t impressive, especially considering the difference in actual physical size, which has granted LeBron more of an advantage to easily score, in an era where hand checking isn’t allowed, but was before when Jordan played, in the era of the greatest defensive players.

DebtlessJet a compliment that he took longer to achieve the same thing Jordan did in less time, with more hurdles, tougher defense, and smaller physical frame? You must be a fan lol

Cause Shannon has LeBrons D too far down his throat he doesn't want to accept it

Shannon has ranked LeBron third all time after Kareem and Jordan. Is not the same thing, is just that LeBron is his favorite player and he's also fooling around and having fun

@@Mj-uz1ng If you paid attention to Chris when he's a guest on Undisputed, you'd see he does a great job objectively defending Lebron against Skip's psycho Lebron hate. The way Skip professes his heartfelt love for Jordan and Brady, Shannon's not the one you should be accusing of having a "D" down his throat.

LeBron been based Kobe and I love Kobe but he ain't better than LeBron

And lebron aint kobe!

I think that even if LeBron had a 7-1 finals record he still couldn't pass MJ. 6-0 and 6 finals MVP

🤣

I can only assume it was because they were 1-3 and on the brink of elimination 🤷🏻‍♂️

reysue I mean it’s was the 73 win Warriors. I think both of those teams were pretty good.

I mean their opinion averages 7 PPG on 37% shooting in the finals

Ain't gon lie this is clever John....touche

John G legend

cant be goat if u not best all time at your position...bird>lbj...kd is gonna pass lbj also

Lebron averaging 25 in year 21 but his skills are going to "diminish"

Want to rethink that statement genius? 🤣🤣🤣

This is what I been telling people. By LeBron fans logic Karl Malone is GOAT.

LA Clippers When you have to go to the “What if” theory, you have lost..

True. Because they are in the rear-view mirror

Jordan could take over the game on both sides of the ball... he was unstoppable and feared by the league .. I wish Lebrom had that killer instinct

@@MistahUnknown sike doesn't even make sense

Mike Mazer listen bro Jordan I understand, but Kobe isn’t better than Lebron... by every advanced analytic ever. His career numbers are better... he’s never not been the best player on his own team... he’s hit more game winners in the playoffs, more MVP’s, more finals mvp’s, just more than Kobe could ever do... lebron has better career numbers in the post season. I don’t even know why I’m beating this dead horse... the horse has been dead since 2013

To this day I don't know how people can possibly say kobe is better than lebron. Kobe isn't even close to lebron. Get out of here

Sit down son and listen! LOL! Let me tell you something!

Exactly bec first is about WINNING then about % and per game shots. It's also a SKILL to be able to make that many shots bec of the variations of skills that goes in hand with that.

Please, someone fix this LOLOLOLOL
