Michael Jordan Is The Only Player In NBA History To Win The Scoring Title, MVP, NBA Championship, Finals MVP, And Be Named To The NBA All-Defensive 1st Team, And He Did It 4 Times In His Career… 🐐
I hate all this disrespectful revisionist history. No one said this stuff at the time. No one said his competition was weak. The jazz swept prime shaq's lakers in 98. And that Phoenix team was stacked in 93. Jordan's play and the Bulls defense was just too much
I keep saying this- they're either butthurt, young, lying propagandists, or all three. This is the cancel culture society we now live in. They don't have morality, hate the thought of having to have morals, and therefor they embrace immorality as their weapon of choice in destroying what others have built. Any NBA player or fan who would dare imply ANY of the legends were weak, let alone MJ, will never have my respect, unless they grovel in public, begging forgiveness for their maliciousness and foolishness.
If you’re comparing Jordan’s run vs 80s quality of opponents, there’s no denying it was weaker with the introduction of 5 expansion teams and the void left by the 80s superstars. But to say “weak” vs the years mentioned with Lebron, yes that’s false.
@@eddieG667lol 4 of those 5 expansion teams made playoffs multiple times in 90s and Magic made Finals. Saying expansion watered down the league or act like there wasn't star power in 90s after Bird/Magic retired are disingenuous arguments at best and false narratives at worst
@@blatzstats Why wouldn't he? If Harden is avg 30+ in this era you don't think MJ can with the easy-ass rules today? Not to mention Jordan NEVER had a player who avg 20+ ppg in their career. Just imagine if he had Lebron's teammates. Jordan never had the best three-point or #1 draft picks, nothing. Just give him one of these and he's unbeatable.
IT'S SAD TO ME HOW ALL THESE FANBOYS OF LEBRON COMES OUT TO TRY AND DOWNPLAY JORDAN CAREER BECAUSE THEY KNOW LEBRON AIN'T THE GOAT. PERK WORK FOR LEBRON THAT'S WHY HE GOING SO HARD
Not just Jordan they are doing this to everyone even his own teammates but just delusional Lebron fans and also the biased media personalities like Nick Wright etc. is the big reason why some of his fans are like that. They can't accept that Lebron didn't win enough to be the greatest so they decided that they will make other Greats a bad player so Lebron would be elevated in everyone's eyes. They are so eager to compare him to Jordan he hasn't even passed Kareem yet in terms of career accomplishments and greatness Kareem still sits at No.2.
They shit on everyone. They shit on the entire nba in the 90s. It's pathetic but it's their only move. They have to rewrite history for their king to be #1
Imagine if after losing back-to-back to the Pistons, Jordan said "I'm taking my talents to Detroit...oh and Chris Mullin is coming to" and then only wins 2 titles in the next 4 years with that superteam. Lebron forfeited any claim to the GOAT crown after going to Miami. his only legitimate title was with Cleveland, and even that has the stain of the ridiculous Draymond suspension (who would've been finals MVP had GS won)
Exactly, youre absolutely right; and LeBron fans always complaining that he had to face "dynasties" in his career ... well thats only James fault, he is the one to blame because of that, he wasnt able to build a dynastie like Jordan did from the ultra grave like with the Bulls. He had 20 years to so, instead he jumped to join the super teams to win titles. Even Bryant himself was born in a cradle of gold in the Los Angeles Lakers, surrounded by the most dominant center and the most powerful organization in the NBA and who took even the winningest coach and champion phil jackson with them. Its like Jordan would have started in the NBA playing alongside Hakeem Olajuwon. Or arrived in the Celtics to play with Larry Bird ... what about that? Thats why Magic Johnson and Kareem are overrated, because these are 2 top 5 suposedly all time best players, but, who played in the same team? What would Larry Bird would have done with Wilt Chamberlain? Kobe Bryant also had Jordan, Magic, Jerry West, as mentors, had all the media, the referees (they were gifted the first 3 titles), Lakers fans from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, the biggest sponsors since day 1 and all the LA showbiz. If you don't win with all this, you have to be an idiot Even O'Neal ... why didn't he stay in Orlando Magic? How easy it is to go to Los Angeles where the table is set. So those two are overrated. Look how he destroyed and abandoned Penny with his move to go to the Lakers. Watch as James left Cleveland again to go to the all-powerful Lakers where the table is always set. He complained that the Warriors were a dynasty... well hell he had 15 years to build his dynasty in Cleveland!! Where were the Warriors in 2003, 2006, 2007?
Apparently losing and then running to make a superteam is perfectly fine....if it’s LBJ. His fans trash MJ for winning the right way, losing and losing then finally overcoming the odds and staying and winning. Yet they praise LBJ for losing then forming superteams to make it easier. Oh but then they get after KD for doing the same thing lol worst fan base ever.
All you have to do is watch the two of them. One is big, strong, athletic, great. The other is breathtaking at both ends of the court. Spectacular. Amazing. Can’t take your eyes off him. Crystal clear.
what makes a competition look strong is their achievements. Jordan didn't left anything for grabs, so dozens of HoFs from his era, top 75 quality guys, were left ringless, and morons like this call them weak for it. Lebum is 4-10 on finals, a lot of guys beat him, so hey, they only can be a strong opposition, right?
@@benjaminan1183lol 4 of the 5 expansion teams made playoffs multiple times in 90s and Magic made Finals. Find a different excuse why your King is a loser 😂
@@benjaminan1183you’re right this out of shape white dude on the nuggets is so much more talented than 4 percent body fat Karl malone. Beating Paul millsap and Kyle korver as the best players in the East finals is so much tougher than beating isiah/Laimbeer/rodman in the East finals Foh 😂😂😂
@@CHI-JORDAN-CHI Jokic isn't out of shape and yes he is far more talented than Malone. You forgot to mention Horford and Teague by the way. Isiah was also injured, why didn't you mention that?
I respect MJ because he got past Pistons. Many people argue that Piston isn’t talented just physical. To them I say try playing basketball with a team of opponents trying to send you to the hospital every time you touch the ball. Pistons were as difficult of a team to beat as any talented team.
Who tf said the bad boys weren’t talented. They had 3 HOFers and were great from top to bottom. They would’ve 3 peated if not for the league giving Kareem that horrible😅 foul.
@Beery you’re forgetting Microwave, & Salley. Aguirre was a 25 ppg career scorer when Pistons acquired him, & had just lead 1988 Mavs 7 games in West Conf finals vs lakers. That’s same 1988 Lakers, Dantley/Isiah led pistons, went 7 games with in 1988 nba finals.
Bingo!!! I've been saying this for years and people don't want to listen, Wallace was not only Detroits best defender he was one of the top defensive players in the league at that time, when he left Detroit their defense wasn't nowhere as strong as it was before.
“If” big “if” 😂. If kyrie and love don’t get hurt cavs win in 2015, if lakers still had Kareem and worthy wasn’t hurt in ‘91 the bulls don’t win, if the bulls don’t get Rodman they don’t make the finals again 😂
Bro if Wallace didn't leave Detroit he would've made LBJ cry. Imagine being so strong and good on the defensive end you force players like Shaq to Elbow you to even pass you?
@@jlo8862 Bro, stop. Cavs weren't winning in 2015 with or without a healthy Kyrie and Love. It might have gone 7, but that Warriors team wasn't losing a deciding game at home. Kareem was 43 in 1991 and had been retired two years. Why you're bringing him up is beyond me. Maybe you meant Magic? Regardless, he played 40+ every game that series and dropped 20 assists in game 5. Worthy didn't re-injure his ankle until game 4 after the Bulls had already taken control of that game and the series. You're reaching. I could also bring up Ray Allen bailing LeBron out in 2013 or Draymond getting suspended for game 5 in 2016 just to even things out again, but that would be pointless. I was just talking about Wallace. His rim protection was sorely missed in 2007 and the Pistons lost largely because there was nobody big enough to deny LeBron the lane, particularly in game 5.
@@SonicSkychaser I’m a huge lebron fan but even I can admit he’s not the goat that’s clearly mj, mj’s resume is like a my career type thing. Lebron is second all time but just like I can’t take the lebron slander I definitely can’t take the mj slander neither
He needs to check out the names of HoF players he sent packing once he started winning ttitles. Those players, include Malone, Barkley, Payton, Stockton, Miller, Kemp, and numerous others on great teams, in a barbarically tough division.
People also say that he only got past the pistons when they got old, but they were still in their prime back in the 91 season. Bulls probably prevented them from a 3 peat.
Like I said over and over. Look at the ones who try to discredit MJ, they are the same ones who prop up LBJ for every little thing he does. That’s Klutch media for ya, also many of them like Perk/Shannon/Nick etc all had MJ as the goat for a long time then quickly went to “LBJ is the goat” as soon as the money came in.

@@brianharron3435 But what’s the logic behind it, playing longer to achieve less? So basically if a player comes along puts up more stuff than LeBron, but has less accolades than him then he’d be the new GOAT?
Whether intentional or not, people generally gravitate to trolls and stupidity. Just like this video. We clicked it knowing what we get and vent in the comments. Meanwhile Perk gets a new contract
How people try to discredit a man who persevered and didn’t quit (Leave and go to somebody else’s team) stuck it out and three peated twice. Won 6 titles in every finals he played in and said he wasn’t the Goat versus a guy who went to 4 different teams and played with who he wanted to and lost more than he won and calls himself the Goat is beyond me.
The competition narrative has always been complete fantasy for Bron stans. The east was god awful when he was there. Sub .500 teams in the playoffs caliber of trash. Thats why his finals record is such a stain on his resume, most times, the finals was the only quality team he would face in a series and he'd lose.
2004-2010, Bron had 1, 50 win team eliminated from playoffs in 7 years combined. Bron had to join Wade & Bosh, in year 8, too eliminate the 2nd win playoff team of his nba career. That’s wild. This is a 29 team, 30 team, nba with 82 games every season.
Always great work narratives are killing the authentic ability to judge and appreciate players for what they really accomplished and or actually done in comparison to each other.
It’s disappointing to hear analysts disparage players and their game, both past and present. It’s also sad how Jordan is now disrespected just to elevate Lebrun. I really want them to stop.
He acting like Lebron had hard competition his entire career haha. The only young HOF he went against in their prime when he was a cav was Melo. And all melo could do was shoot. Then what did he go against? The Celtics? Sure, but it wasn't the 80s Celtics with a stacked HOF team. Then he went to Miami and who was his competition in Miami? He was the best team in the NBA. He has always went against a weak conference. It wasn't until he was in the Finals that I agree is competition was tough....Despite beating Butler's Heat with no top 100 players and Mavs with a single All-star Dirk (kidd was old stop). And I don't think he should have lost to the Spurs either they were getting old while he was in his prime.
Not only he lost to an aging Spurs. They got demolished, it wasn't even competitive and Lebron was just stat padding in blow out games with zero opposition against him.
that loss to the spurs in 2014 really hurts his argument in the goat debate. They got beat by a record margin in the finals by a older less talented team. There’s not too many excuses for that, and the same goes for the 2011 finals..
Jordan objectively carried every Bulls team he played on. His picture is next to the definition of carrying a team in the dictionary. No single player in team sports has ever had so much loaded on his back.
I think the best evidence of this was who took the final shots. It was always MJ. Kerr took a big one, but everybody knew where it was goin and Jordan still sunk it.i
Thank God for Uncut Hoops, calling out these cancel culture wokesters who are obviously either butt hurt about what MJ and the Bulls did to them and their teammates, OR they never watched him/them play, OR they are just lying propagandists who will do or say anything for attention. Either way, thanks Uncut Hoops for not letting it slide. You are the truther we needed, but didn't deserve🙏
I don't pay attention to people like that. These the same folks that will name players in 90s and give them credit and respect, plus they will say all Jordan's teammates were so great, but yet they couldn't play. Physicality was very different back then, the players are more athletic now, but athletics were just one part, you had to be physical and not care about "selling" aka flopping, just score.
Yea Jordan was out there playing with scrubs right 😂 best coach best rebounder best defender best team yea I was in the graden watching the Celtics crush Jordan what now
It's an unpopular opinion but LBJs 2007 cavs team was built around him. Had 3 spot up shooters a long with a big that played outside of the paint in 2007 when bigs played in the paint. If james would've played with a real big, the paint would be crowded. He had spot up shooters because he needed the paint empty. When he drove you couldn't guard him 1v1. So when someone went to help it would leave for an open guy. Which his team lead the league in 3 point percentages in 07. That playoff run he knocked of my wizard squad and his shooters showed up. Switch him with 06 kobe and put him on that laker squad them Kobe wouldve taken Cleveland to the championship in 07. Meanwhile 06 Lakers wouldve missed the playoffs.
07 is another run his fans/media love to overrate. He beat two 41 win teams, Wizards had no Arenas/Butler, and at the time Pistons were one of the worst #1 seeds ever. Having only 53 wins, they would’ve been the 4th seed out West. They never mention how Gibson went off in that close out game to send them to the finals. They love to say how MJ went to the 2nd round bc of Pippen yet Gibson averaged more ppg than him. Also Gibson had a game score of 10.5, big Z had 10.7 in that series. Meanwhile when Bulls advanced to the 2nd round in 88, Pippen had a game score of 7.3 and MJ was at 34.0....lol yet Pippen was the reason why MJ advanced.
MJ played in one of the greatest era's ever. The countless Hall of Famers in MJ's era is crazy. He played against Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Hakeem Olajawan, Karl Malone, Gary Payton, Alonzo Mourning, Pat Ewing, Dikembe Mutombo, Dominique Wilkins, Clyde Drexler, John Stockton, Reggie Miller, Joe Dumars, Robert Parish, Kevin McHale, Kevin Garnett, Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Dennis Johnson, Charles Barkley, Jason Kidd, Ray Allen, etc.
Bron 11 games under 40% FG in 2007 playoffs, 8 are before nba finals. Most overrated run ever. Bron wasn’t all nba 1st team, or all defense, or mvp, DPOY, scoring champ, etc, in 2007, wasn’t even top 3 in mvp votes in 2007.
Yeah the Heat team is pretty evenly talented. But I do believe Jimmys mentality and Spirit is what’s carrying the Heat. You see how all of his teammates are following the narrative of jimmy leading them. And jimmy ALWAYS using WE. So performance wise, no Butler is not carrying them. But Butler OVERALL DEFINITELY is carrying the Heat
@ UncutHoops. You always come with receipts. The graphic showing the West vs East records is on point!! By the way, Karl Malone, and Charles Barkley would eat Perkins for Lunch!! Shawn Kemp would dunk on him at least once per quarter!! Jordan did he did form "84 until he finally retired at 40 yrs old. He's still the only player in NBA History to avg 20+ points after age 40, and he had multiple 40 point games at age 40.
MJ's 89 and 90 run were as impressive, if not more than Lebron's 07 and 18 runs. He put up absurd numbers (36/7/7 on 51% fg) and carried his teams to the East finals and was only stopped by the Pistons. They won 2 more games against the Pistons than anybody else in each of those years, and they may have won the title in 90 if not for the Bull's colossal choke job in game 7 aside from MJ. And before anyone say Pippen, the guy was a role player in 89 and was inconsistent against the Pistons in 90 (he was offensively inconsistent even after 90), and was leading that choke job with 2 points on 1-10 FG. MJ's 46-point game 3 win against the Pistons in 89 and back-to-back 40+ games in 90 are never talked about, but imo even more impressive than Lebron's game 5 because MJ did it against the eventual champions. In both 07 and 18, the Cavs were swept in the finals and gave the eventual champions the easiest series of their title runs, and you can add 14 Heat to that as well. That means Lebron's team was only a top 2 team in 7 of his 20 seasons (6 if you count the Spurs in 2017), while Jordan's team was top 2 in 8 of his 15 seasons (I'm even counting the Wizard seasons). Really put their finals appearances into perspective
Did Perk forget that he was one of LeBron’s competitions? Now that’s weak. I’m just being facetious. Although i was surprised Perk didn’t use the race card.
I love the fact that you brought up stat % of team, it is the only way to really compare players of different eras. Because of the faster pace due to lack of defense, the average game score is higher now than it was back then, so players now have a better chance of having higher stats than players from 80's/90's.

I never give these analysts the time of day. I stopped watching the NBA because of Lachina James. When the NBA went political, I was done. I get my NBA news from you. Thank you and keep up the hard work.
KP's comment really makes me wish Inside the NBA was covering the Finals because I would love to hear Shaq & Barkley's reactions to their Magic & Suns teams being called "weak competition". I'm sure this would've riled Kenny up too considering his Rockets won 2 championships in that era (even if those were the 2 years MJ was playing bassball).
Anyone saying, or insinuating that 90's Bull's with MJ played against weak competition is either an idiot or just dont know anything about basketball. It's a total disrespect to all teams & great players of that era.
Jordan is so extraordinary that the greats that were active during his time continually have their legacies marred by Jordan's success. Lebron has never had the same gatekeeper visage that Jordan instilled in his opponents.
Michael Jordan led the Bulls to five of their six championships against five of the twenty-two toughest roads to a title in NBA history. And he did it with five of the eight lowest scoring supporting casts of all-time.
If the cavaliers had been in the Western Conference, then it would’ve been very difficult for LeBron to get to the finals. There were many years where there was nobody in the Eastern conference. For Michael Jordan, and if you can get through gray teams, like the Celtics, Orlando, the Pacers, the Knicks and the Pistons. The Eastern conference was like the Western Conference was in the LeBron era. I think that it would be interesting to look at how many times each player either defeated, or was defeated, by the eventual champion. If LeBron was defeated by the spurs in the conference finals, it really isn’t any difference than being defeated in the finals. In making an argument for MJ, he stayed with one team, and his team became a dynasty. as part of that dynasty, he was the MVP every time the Dynasty won a championship. He was also scoring leader, and first team, all defense during the period of the dynasty.
Jordan made those players better. That's the cloak that no one sees. They just believe those guys were all good. Jordan held back his play to give them the ability to have progress as players. That's why when players talked trash to Jordan, he played like Jordan and dominated. It's basketball. You have to play as a team.
All I say is this. Modern NBA players have no prayer against the 80's-early 00's era of players. In comparison, modern players would be CRUSHED! MJ's Bulls would dominate, Karl Malone & Kohn Stockton's Jazz run over em, The Bad Boy's Pistons or Ewing's Knicks would murder them on court. And then I have not even mentioned how Hakeem's Rockets, Barkley's Suns, Robinson & Duncan's Spurs or Shaq & Kobe's Lakers what harm they would do to modern players Modern NBA can't play defense, can't take a mild body hit and don't dare play tight cover. All they can is shoot. That's it.
Great video, I really didn’t realize how bad Lebron played against the pistons that year. Funny thing is Lebrons cavs teams won 66 games in 09 and lost to the magic. A team doesn’t win close to 70 games unless it has a good supporting cast.
The most fucked up part about this bullshit is that when they say stuff like this, not only is it not true but it's only taking into account finals opponents. Which in itself is crazy because you're talking about teams with multiple Hall of Famers on them. A few had the league's best record. The year the Bulls won 72 games, Seattle won 69. To my point though, competition also includes the road to the finals. Are these so called experts aware of how top heavy the league has been since Lebron started jumping to "the best situation " for his chances? All this time, since Lebron entered championship status has there been more than 3 teams that really had a shot to be champion. Compare that to the league when in the East, Cleveland, New York, Chicago, Miami, Indiana and Detroit all were legitimate contenders. Not to mention New Jersey and Charlotte all being opponents you couldn't sleep on. Out west you had Utah, Lakers, Seattle, Portland, Phoenix and a super talented Golden State team led by Tim Hardeway, Mitch Richmond and Chris Mullen. On their side the sleeper was the Denver Nuggets who actually pulled one of the biggest upsets in league history. Why do so many so called experts and former players ignore this fact? You gotta get there to have an opportunity to win it and to top all this off Mike played with fewer allstars than anybody in history as teammates.
They always downplay LeBron's 07 teammates. And over look the fact LeBron was horrible in that finals. Couldn't shoot from outside to save his life. And the spurs were giving him the shot
He has a point. People seem to forget about expansion teams. The better players were more concentrated on few teams in Jordans first three peat. The second three peat had a league that added Vancouver and Toronto teams.
It's not about whether the competition is weak or anything. Each era has rules that can limit and allow all players to show their talents and skills. That means, it is fair to all players and they all have a chance in the world to prove that he is the best in that era no matter what era they play. And the best player of his era is considered the GOAT of that era. Then, the GOAT of every era with the best personal and team awards that above all considered GOATs of different eras means, he is the real and true GOAT.
It really doesn't make sense that a lot of these players and former players, grew up watching the same players they're disrespecting? So how is it that these players were so weak and at the same time, they made you interested in playing?
The problem is really just using the word carry. That’s more of a stats/workload thing but buying into the heat culture accepting leadership and leading his teammates in terms of mentality I could see why someone would say that but yeah actually dominating on the court I can think of multiple people who did more
yes this video does a perfect job of exposing how that ‘07 cavs team wasn’t a dumpster fire & killing the narrative of carrying teams & competition, but you’ll still have buffoons arguing their errant points bcuz they’re simply repeating the nonsense being spewed by lemedia. we need more alternative media like you to offset those goons, so keep up the good work & keep em coming!
This just goes back to the whole Lebron argument nos fans will make! They always claim Lebron has no help when in reality he does but if he wins it was all because of him.
