Lebron is not the goat,I saw mj play

..he broke the scoring record then lost..why talk about a losing team?i dont get it ...impact mj,championship mj what is this collin talking about?sheesh .

Love the sass!

😂😂😂😂🤡

Well, if you hype a bunch of players ever year eventually one will turn out good. 😂😂

@@ericbogar9665 yeah but how many guys we're on the cover of sports illustrated at 17 ? Maybe a few but not many.

@@ericbogar9665 he’s the chosen one better face it now

@@joeperry2065 There have been who were supposed to be the next best thing that have came and gone that nobody remembers. They probably were on covers at one time and in the news often, but nobody cares now. Most never live up to the hype and that's because it's hard to predict the next best player because many work harder than the next guy to achieve greatness. I'm sure Lebron worked hard at staying on top, but I don't think he ever really did anything extra but maybe shooting 3s. Never really worked on Free throws and didn't have many go to moves, but what he has is effective.

Everybody said that lol

@@IWill_iTV And Charles Barkley said days ago Lebron is the 7th greatest basketball ever...

Definitely a top 15 player of all time.

@@dougsmith1738 Right behind Kwame Brown for sure!

3 chips in 24 years

That's actually not true. What really happened was that he began load managing through seasons and coasting through games to conserve energy for the playoffs so he lost out on MVPs to players who played harder and more during the regular season

@@jasonjanisewski78 no lol he should have definetely won 2011 and very much 2015.

@@alvaro4867 Lebron was never going to win in 2011. Not only was that year 1 post decision but they kind of disappointed. People expected an unstoppable, super team juggernaut and instead they did not even finish as a 1 seed in their own conference. In 2014-2015, Curry's team blitzed the entire league and won 67 games, 14 more than Lebron's Cavs team. Curry also played 11 more games than Lebron did that year, a pretty massive difference. If you are clearly the best player on a 67 win team and finish +14 wins and + 11 games played compared to them, you are going to finish ahead of them essentially every single time

@@alvaro4867 Rose won 2011 for the same reason LeBron won in ‘09 and ‘10. Why you wanna cheat Rose?

I could see thst if playoffs were included

Because he doesn’t share the floor with anyone to argue with unlike every other show. He’s very smart in that way. He says things that sound pretty good but when you think about usually have TONS of holes in but there’s no one to point those holes out to you so you don’t think about it

Bill Simmons does it better

@@jasonjanisewski78 not even close 🚮🚮🚮🚮

@Big Body Ram Truck he doesn’t bring guys on the show to argue with him often. He brings them on the show simply to interview them.

Ask any TV host iv heard them they say what Colin does is the hardest thing to do for the hours he is on tv.......solo. Having to talk for 3hrs or more solo is tough.

lebron has no leadership

@@GISW85 4 chips sais your wrong

@@vzwson4995 here are ur 4 chips: 1. Lebron does not provide frequent feedback to teammates to either help or motivate them. 2. Lebron has been known to shy away from crunch time moments or not produce big plays when his team needs him most. 3. Lebron is frequently playful and not known for having that serious mental edge (Like Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant) 4. He tends to bite his nails, revealing his anxiety and nervousness. (of course simply biting your nails does not mean you're not a leader, but imagine during deadlines and crisis moments your employees observing your nervousness through your body language, what message does it send to them?) He is the best of this era. But no not the goat sry

Yea, they're so biased just like Nick and Colin, in which they are part of the media, are not. Occurs you not bias, right?

Sorry buddy it's not a competition Jordan has been the best PLAYER lebron is the scoring title champ Jordan is just the best

I agree on Great human being but a great athlete?... no, good athlete sure but not great.

He's a great man, and Dad

@@WelderWick He is one of the best Athletes is history it’s almost like they made him a lab or something

He did not changed any game..

I think it has a lot to do with who he’s surrounded by. His mom, wife and kids keep him in line. And his friends.

His mom was on drugs for a long time... that's why he had to live with other ppl line his coach in high school......no LeBron got taught by men in his life that wanted something better for him and told him to surround himself with good ppl

He takes his orders from China

Great way of putting it

It’s culture to say Jordan is the goat. But time have changed and nobody wants to be wrong

@Truth is Harsh You typed all that on the false premise that only the NBA finals count, and most of it wasn’t fact based. And you must have taken what I said personally. The 90s are over.

Jordan has the PPG record while Lebron has the total points record, just depends on which you find more impressive

@@mattmmixes Wilt and Jordan are tied PPG.

@@ld4974 Jordan has a small advantage, Jordan 30.12 and Wilt 30.07, narrow but still an advantage

so robert horry is greater than michael jordan because horry has 7 championships? yes numbers do lie. also, lebron has a huge advantage with 3's

@@mattmmixes Maybe, I’m crazy, but I find that LeBron leading in more statistical categories than Jordan to be more impressive than Jordans 30 ppg career scoring average. Compare rebounds, assists, blocks, fg%, 3p%, true shooting percentage, effective shooting percentage. I find LeBron to be the better basketball player. Especially the fact that many former players who competed against LeBron say that he doesn’t even really try in the regular season.

Jordan fans/republicans

And CAP over all goat

It was his delivery of that line..... perfection.

Nah.

Michael Jordan won ZERO In the year before Micheal Jordan and LeBron James joined their team and the year after they left their team, their records were 83-84 bulls 27-55 84-85 bulls. 38-44 92-93 bulls 57-25 93-94 bulls 55-27 98-99 bulls 13-37 without Scottie Pippen 00-01 wizards 19-63 01-02 wizards. 37-45 02-03 wizards 37-45 03-04 wizards 25-57 02-03 cavaliers 17-65 03-04 cavaliers 35-47 09-10 cavaliers 61-21 10-11 cavaliers 19-63 09-10 heat. 47-35 10-11 heat 58-24 14-15 heat 37-45 2013-14 cavaliers 33-49 2014-15 cavaliers 53-29 2017- 18 cavaliers 50-32 2018-19 cavaliers 19-63 2017-18 lakers. 35-47 2018-19 lakers were 20-14 when LeBron James got injured on Christmas day.

That's how i felt about Kobe. Like damn! I didnt appreciate him while he was playing. In his later yrs i liked Kobe and then the accident. Never make that mistake again bc i love the game of basketball. I enjoy watching all of these superstars do their thing.

@@burrybondz225 he clarified that his criticism with Daryl Morey was about the timing of his tweet when USMBT was in China. That’s a dangerous thing to say when you got NBA players in China.

Seems like the State of Ohio produces real quality people.

Sorry but mj still the goat

I expect that from you Mike Pence because you also think Trump is the GOAT don't you?

He knows he will get lambasted for it and rightly so

It has nothing to do with being chicken. LBJ is 4th on my list behind MJ, Kareem, and Magic. In a team sport, team success matters.

How so? I love Kareem. But LeBron has had success in EVERY category, success in multiple cities, been a TRUE leader on any team he's played on, his bad year was kawhi Leonard's (The guy people kept trying to sell as the greatest 2way player since Jordan) career high, he's top 5 in opposite categories (meaning he's the best at passing and scoring), and has passed the greatest scores ever while scoring was his second greatest gift. He's waaaay better at passing them scoring, but has passed all your favorite scorers. Not to mention, the only good coach that you can say he's played under is Eric spoelstra. Kareem had john wooden then Pat Riley! That's awesome! Jordan had Dean Smith, Doug Collins (a bit of a stretch), and Phil Jackson! LeBron has seen coaches come and go and he's had success whether they were good or bad. Kareem did that as well. Also, Kareem had years where guys were carrying him. That's not a bad thing. But LeBron has never been carried on ANY championship team. In his prime or out of his prime. His efficiency has been consistently great for 20 years. No disrespect

@@sholovesholove4620 easy. Kareem has more titles and more MVPs. He had more individual success and more team succes.

Flip side to that argument is, imagine if the ABA was started just before LBJ came in to the league. And all the talent went there. Til his 8-9 year in. How many more points would lebron have? You see the captain benefited of playing in a very water down league when all the talent went to the ABA. And after the merger he never averaged more than 27ppg after that.

Back when it was 80% white guys though? Eras are a thing to consider, don't care if you're Wilt, Bill or even Kareem.

@@the1337contrarian Wilt in 1967 playoffs faced Bill Russell (6'10" black HOFer, known for all-time great defense) in one series, then in the Finals faced Nate Thurmond (6'11" black HOFer, who Kareem said was the toughest defender he faced in his career), to win the championship. Wilt in 1972 playoffs faced Kareem Abdul Jabbar (7'2" black HOFer, who was back-to-back MVP at that time and defending champion) in one series, then in the Finals faced Willis Reed (6'10" black HOFer, who was MVP just 2 years prior and champion 1 year prior), to win the championship. Jordan got swept twice in the playoffs against the Boston Celtics, a team of starters like Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, and Danny Ainge (white guys). Jordan's iconic moment, "The Shot", was over defender Craig Ehlo (white guy). Two of Jordan's Finals competition were against the Utah Jazz, a team of starters like John Stockton, Jeff Hornacek, and Greg Ostertag (white guys). In today's league, 2 of the top 5 players are Nikola Jokic (white, current back-to-back MVP) and Luka Doncic (white).

@@the1337contrarian Russell and Thurmond in 1967 and Kareem and Reed in 1972 were Wilt's center competition. They aren't white lol.
