Jordan vs Lebron - The Best GOAT Comparison 

Who do you think the GOAT is? Jordan, Lebron, or someone else?

“LeBron was universally respected, Jordan was universally feared.” - Stephen A Smith

Lebron : I have the most points in Game Seven in Finals history. Jordan : What's a game 7? LOL

You know you’re the GOAT when the opposing team’s strategy is to “not piss Jordan off”

I never understood how the mj and lebron convo ever even got started in the first place

Who’s better? Like: Jordan Comment: LeBron

Scouting report on LBJ: make him go left. Send him to free throw line. Give him midrange jumpers. Scouting report on MJ: don’t piss him off

Let's also consider that Jordan was allowed 2 steps after picking up his dribble, and Lebron gets 4...

It was an honour to be able to watch MJ all those years ago. No doubt the GOAT. The best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be.

Do Americans know that MJ is more popular than the basketball game itself. I'm from india and basketball is non existing here but Everyone remembers MJ as one of the greatest athletes of all time and THE GREATEST BASKETBALL PLAYER OF ALL TIME.

In contrast to Lebron, I never heard MJ, not even once, during his entire career ever, say he was the greatest. It was the whole world that said that.

MJ for 3 reasons 1. Killer instinct and highly competitive 2. Tough and unshakeable 3. Small feet for quickness at 6'6 and hands of a 7'8 center. Jordan could do things with those big hands players of a similar size like Kobe and LBJ could never do. MJ was a once in a 100 year athlete just like Wilt was for his position.

From what i googled 1994-95 Chicago Bulls season The Bulls struggled in the first half of the season with a 23-25 record at the All-Star break. Jordan faxed a memo that simply said "I'm back." Then The Bulls won 24 of their final 34 games, and finished the season with a 47-35 record, going 13-4 with Jordan back in the lineup. Note: This was the Jordan has been swing baseball bats for 12+ months, not playing basketball.

This video needs to be aired on ESPN

“A true king never crowns himself” -George R.R Martin. Lebron said he’s the goat, Jordan let the others say he’s the goat

I just found this vid. The way that you broke this down is great. You explained complex analytics in a way that a 5 year old could understand, your arguments were rock solid and most importantly, you were fair.

It's hard for the younger people to grasp Michael Jordan's greatness. Jordan was Jordan ALL THE TIME. You can't possibly realize that without having witnessed it at the time. Also, people always show the same highligts of him but he was relentless. Always a joy to watch. Always on top of his game. If it wasn't for those last two years in Washington nearing 40 we would never have seen him decline.

My man you just destroyed a debate that wasn't even supposed to exist

"So what's the greater achievement: beating the juggernaut--or being the juggernaut?" Damn, this question is just so good.

This video was amazing. Gave me chills, at the end I even teared up a little. Great Job!!!!🎉🎉🎉

bro dropped a masterpiece then dipped

Arguing who is the greatest player in NBA history is such a waste of time. The argument should be who is no. 2.

This guy retired almost 20 years ago and keep his life private, doesn't engage personally on social media and until now we are still talking about him. Thats Greatness right there. And his shoes sold more than the current players combined.

This is one of the most comprehensive videos I've ever seen on the Goat debate. I think one thing we can add to the eye test element is also how, just like at the end of the video, you see some of MJs circus shots, the outrageousness, the sheer poetry and elegance with which he plays. He's an artist and a killer rolled into one. Lebron's highlights are impressive too but they just don't have that wow factor that takes your breath away no matter how many times you watch it. As for the longevity factor, it should be more about peak. Whose peak was higher.. Jordan accomplished more in a shorter period. If longevity is about who sustained his peak, then Lebron by right should have 10 championships. The fact he lasted at a high level longer than Jordan but probably only scratched the surface of MJs peak... That simply means MJ's peak was brighter higher stronger. That alone tells u something. There is just no comparison. But here in this day and age people want their new basketball God and the most convenient guy and the guy who's always selling himself with his army of Nick Wrights and Shannon Sharpes... is that guy. And if you don't think Bron's the Goat, if you think he's number 2 behind MJ, wch is still high compliment but to his legions of rabid fans is unacceptable, then you're a hater. 💁🏻‍♂️

You also got to remember the time MJ played well dealing with the flu and still won the game. That's incredibly impressive.

I have had the privilege of seeing both players entire careers, Lebron’s to this point, and while I think they both are great... Jordan is literally the best player I’ve ever seen to this day...

You missed a key category: the “Space Jam” category. Jordan gets the check mark again.

What an incredible video! Such a well rounded, unbiased breakdown, well done!

Damn I just looked up the stat he said at the end for Lebron where he made 19 clutch shots out of 94 attempts. Turns out he’s taken 18 more and has only made 1 of them (4/24/23 Game 4 of the 1st round of the playoffs against the Grizzlies he made a Layup for his 18th point of the night to send the Lakers to OT in a 117-113 W to go up 3-1) That is apparently the only “clutch” shot Lebron has made since this video released.

I’m a Lebron fan but you can’t argue with the facts MJ is the goat

I gotta admit, I thought it was close, not after watching this, I'm sold, MJ is the GOAT.

Michael Jordan loved winning. Kobe Bryant loved Basketball. LeBron loves himself.

Superb video! Thank you for laying out all of those data. It was also very well written and edited.

FACT: as soon as Lebron stops playing this debate will be forgoten and it will always be MJ vs the next "new guy".

The fact that you created a channel and produced just one video to silence the non-believers makes you the GOAT! Thank you for this!

1. MJ 2. Kobe 3. Kareem 4. Magic 5. Timmy 6. Bird 7. Steph 8. Lebron 9. Shaq 10. Wilt

11.16.23. Was anyone else led here from the Spaceforce Ingersol Lockwood site?

MJ playing all 82 games 9 times in his career is the most underrated aspect of his Goat resume. Lebron one time.

Idk about Americans but i can tell u that foreigners know basketball because of MICHAEL JORDAN.❤️🙏🏻

That was your first video?! Damn! 👏 As for the GOAT debate, there isn’t one. I just wish I watched as much basketball as I do now when MJ was playing, as a Mavs fan I’m glad I got to watch prime Dirk and currently getting to watch the incredible talents of Kyrie and Luka but feel I missed out big time not getting to watch MJ live

To me it comes down to just one thing. If I could only go to one NBA game in my entire life, who would I want to see. Hands down MJ.

GOAT was invented to describe MJ, nothing has changed.

Also, Jordan seemed to literally stay up in the air longer. That's what I thought the eye test was going to be.

That's an incredible GOAT debate! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I am a die hard Laker fan hands down & Magic Johnson will always be my favorite Laker as well as player, but MJ was the best that I have ever seen to play the game and Kobe was the closest that I have seen to MJ, but the GOAT is certainly Michael Air Jordan, without a doubt ✌🏾

Can we also acknowledge how MJ never lost three straight games from 1990 to 1998🤯

You have to do more videos. This is the best I’ve seen. Appreciate you putting in the work for this!

I think this was probably the best comparison video I've seen... great job

Lebron will never be Jordan, no matter how many Space Jam sequels he makes.

LeBron said he is the best player of all time We people say Jordan is the greatest player of all the time. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️🙏

This is truely THE best and objective comparison video on YT!

Who’s here from the Ingersoll Lockwood rabbit? Lol

They don't understand and will never understand... In the words of Stephan A Smith "This shouldn't even be a discussion"

LeBron has been my favorite NBA player for as long as I can remember, but I can’t disagree with facts. MJ is the GOAT. He is the ultimate winner.

Who came here form Ingersoll Lockwood. 😎

Please come back, we need you rn

Coming back from a 3-1 lead is impressive, what’s more impressive is not letting a 3-1 lead even happen lol

Michael most underrated accomplishment was how he is the main reason why so many All-Time greats don’t have rings. Ex: Patrick, Barkely, Reggie, Malone

Hell of a video for your first video!

"He's bigger, he's stronger, he's faster, he's more durable" Really? More durable? How many seasons did LeFlop play all 82 games?

I saw Jordan play twice. Once as a 40 year old. During the game MJ held the ball in front of him with his arm outstretched inches from his defender. Jumaine Jones could not take the ball from him. JJ would lunge to grab it and MJ would move it a foot in one direction or another. This went on for around 20 seconds. Then Jordan and scored while the Cleveland arena booed its own player and cheered on Michael Jordan for embarrassing him. I don't think I'll ever see anything like this in professional sports again. He's the goat.

Not even close, this was never a debate…MJ is the goat

Easy comparison if you ask lifelong Cavs fans over 40 yrs old. Jordon destroyed great Cavs teams in 90s. Lebron kept coming up short with Cavs until 2016. But 1-4 record in the Finals playing for the Cavs was not even close to MJ domination.

Amazing !!! Very, very well-done!!!

This man dropped one banger and just dipped. The true GOAT.

Michael Jordan is still the greatest of all time.

Really great video...thanks

Everyone knows deep down Mj is the GOAT lets be real

So stupid to even argue this. MJ won 3 in a row, took off to play baseball for two seasons, came back to win another 3 in a row. One of the greatest stories in all of sports.

The producer of this video is the baby goat...are you kidding me? Great sound, great video, and SPOT ON narration of a perfect argument. Over and over and over...X2 was EPIC.

Jordan is the GOAT. He even push his teammates so hard to make his team the best team (most of the stars in Bulls after they join Bulls and winning with Bulls). Being Jordan's teammates wasn't easy, he want you to be better and train so hard everyday. I am not saying Jordan was the only one who make Bulls success, but he was one of them.

You know you’re an icon when your best qualities becomes the goat criteria for every other sport. Mj is just in another level 🔥

Jordan no doubt, he’s the best ever.

To even have this discussion or debate is silly. Btw, excellent, well-made video.

This is incredibly well argumented!

Lebron wears #23 cause he knows who the GOAT really is.

This video should be preserved in the National Archives along with “The Last Dance” docu-series, so that people can have a comparison reference material for when another so-called G.O.A.T. emerges in the future.

Dude dropped a classic & retired

This is best break down I’ve saw. Very fair & truthful whether you like it or not

who's here from the Ingersoll website?

Here’s the thing, Jordan, after winning three titles with the Bulls, took a two-year break, then came back to a completely new weak Bulls team with only Scottie Pippen as a veteran from the old days. In the matter of a single season he turned that group of strangers into a championship team. Three years running. Let me know who else in basketball history did something like that through force of will alone.

My son is a 16 year old high school student. I showed him this for him to see early what a thorough, entertaining, compelling, complete topic presentation looks like... feels like. You, sir are the G.O.A.T.!

Extremely comprehensive analysis. Great numbers breakdown 🎉

Best comparison video Thank you ❤

FACTS: And Jordan accomplished all this in lesser seasons than LeBron nuff said Jordan is the 🐐 goat!!!!!!

Jordan is in a class of his own. He created the expectacle that the NBA is today. You didnt went to see him play. It was to see him perform. Like an actor or a musician. He simply took the game to the next level.

Well made. Thank you for the content.

Jordan never needed to leave his team to go get more titles - he just made everyone around him that much better .. and he still has more titles. He also didn't need to take 5 steps to get a bucket .. its not even close Jordan is way better than Lebron.

I fully agree, Michael Jordan is the best of the best.

MJ himself explained that he didn’t have a gambling problem, but rather a competition problem - it’s in his DNA! 🐐

This is the greatest video I have seen about the goat debate. Thank you!

Criteria 6: Sportsmanship. If a player ever intentionally fakes an injury, foul or play in order to elicit a bad call by a ref, then he is disqualified from any consideration for greatest of anything. Sportsmanship is required of all sportsmen.

What LeBron faced in the Finals in '17 and '18 is what Michael had to face in the first round '86 and '87.

This video is a masterpiece. Don’t touch it, don’t edit it. Leave it as is. The fact that this man came in the content game and made one video that has over 3 million views is just so poetic to me. Almost like how Jordan had no flaws. Came in the game and dominated from the moment he touched the hardwood, until he decided to hang ‘em up. The case is closed. No second chances. No Game 7s. You got it done in one take. It’s so emblematic of Jordan. No fluff. Straight Greatness. Respect Bruh. My Goat is Kobe. But that’s MY GOAT, Jordan isn’t even in the Goat debate for me. He transcended it. Jordan is a Cultural Icon. Lebron is just a basketball player in my eyes. 2 different planets.

All in all, DangerP,.. you've done your homework on this. This is more detailed than any ESPN broadcaster/analyst could tell it 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😃 Perfect 👌😉

Excellent video! Great analysis! Debate is over. Thank you!

The crazy part is all these stats weren't avaliable at mj era and still he went out every game giving his best ... while nowadays players look at thier stats and thier personal accolades more than winning mentality

It feels like LeBron has been playing to be the greatest of all time while Jordan played to win if that makes sense. LeBron wants to win because it helps his case for greatness. While it felt like Jordan wanted to win just because he wanted to win. Two totally different mindsets and it shows like LeBron bouncing to different teams to raise his chances while Jordan retired early because he won 3 in a row and lost the motivation. Jordan wasn't chasing Kareem,magic or Russel he was just chasing himself

Best analysis if ever there was one

It’s not close, I just watch MJs highlights and made me remember how great he was!!!!
