NBA Legends Argue Who Is The GOAT: Michael Jordan or LeBron James 

Who the hell thought it was a good idea to ask Bill Laimbeer whos better between Jordan and LeBron?! 😂

Stats, games played, minutes played, rings won, position...to many variables. Who is the better player? Watch the highlights on both and see who you'd rather watch. LeBron is a beast obviously very exciting to watch, but if I have to pay money, I'm going to see MJ. MJ was doing stuff that is just unmatched. Never seen a human play with the level of finess Mike played with to this day. It was not earthly the things he was doing on the floor. LeBron don't have that style of play, like watching a ballerina vs. a linebacker.

better question... will ANY player from the 80s or 90s ever say any player in the future was the best ever? Chances are slim.

I seen a lot of Jordan games I'm 42 when u watched Jordan play u can feel the energy it was a crazy feeling when Labron plays I don't feel nothing n I like Lebron... Jordan hands down 🐐....

Because of these debate that says MJ the goat lebron's greatness is unappreciated

Last response was spot on 👌 💯

Let’s not forget that Phil sat jordan from 95 to 98 in all 4th quarters when they were up 20 plus points. Still average the 30.

honestly forget who’s better i respect them both for what they have done for the culture of basketball and the role model’s they are around the world. with the competition both players played they would both respectfully lose there 1A 1B ranking in my opinion

I don’t get it like the guy who’s literally damn near number 1 in every stat is not the greatest I don’t get it you can’t say he doesn’t score or have killer instinct he’s about to be number 1 in scoring fym

Why do people always just skip Kobe like he’s not in the middle of these 2💯💯💯

Jordan would have been to the NBA FINALS (94"-95") if he wasn't forced to retire. Which would have been 5 straight Championships, plus (96"-98") now you at 8? Now you have (99"-01") 11 Championships...? Jordan is Superman and LeBron is Batman and both are Great

Patrick Ewing said it best for me!! He truly broke it down!!

This was never a debate but it’s still a cash cow 🥱

Scottie Pippen is insanely jealous and bitter towards Michael Jordan...

mj being less than perfect in his early career = meh, he's learning lebron being less than perfect early in his career = you see?! thats why he sucks!

Lebron played 2 different eras and he dominated them. The Bigman era 00's and the 3 point era

Everytime they ask whos the goat and why they say Jordan because he can get a bucket….

Nobody is more serious and better than Jordan stop it

Way more competition this generation than last years. Just old heads being old heads and hating on this generation. Anyone arguing this should get they’re eyes checked

Defending the best players?… ever notice wen we say mj stop hall of famers from winning name them i bet they dont even play his position.. team sport when mj left they won 50 plus games witout him wen bron leaves teams are the worse in the league

Lebron needs at least 2 more rings if he wants to be the Goat.

Mike

Click bait on the photo he didn’t say that or you didn’t show proof he did

MJ is The God and Lebron is one of his prophets 😳😓

Why people can't accept that both Players are Goat, why do we need only one player to be a goat when we can have more goat to be considered.

Michael Jordan

Patrick Ewing is 100% correct

Jordans the greatest, Kobes the best we’ve ever seen, lebron is great just not the best or the greatest, steph has dominated this era championship wise more than he has while taking a better route as well

Mj is the goat

I always compare lebron to magic instead of Jordan. And i always compare kobe in the mold of Jordan. Both are great in there own right. I break down there greatness like this Michael is the greatest individual player of all time. And lebron is the greatest all around player of all time. So with that being said nba basketball is a team game so if i had to start a franchise and gave both players the same team with no other all stars i feel like lebron could carry that team further than jordan. So thats why i think lebron is the greatest of all time. He can simply do more on the basketball court in different areas of the game thats important to team success. At the end of the day basketball is a team game

Mj defenatly

9 straight final runs

jordan.

If curry got another ring will be 1. Jordan 2. Curry 3. Lebron

Jordan never made the finals without Scottie enough said

People outside US know NBA because o Jordan.

Pippen is 100% correct

All the greats …MJ Seriously … just watch The GOD highlights , it’s music art ballet

MJ23 is the Goat

Well , Lebron is more complete and has better numbers than M.J which makes him the G.O.A.T now if people arguments are based on the 6 rings M.J has the Bill Russell should be G.O.A.T . M.J's impact on the game and in the world is way bigger , but staticstically speaking Lebron is the best.

Michael Jordan without even thinking hard

Lebron always made the right play

Why people waste time discussing this topic. Wow

Lebron… only cause ian get to watch Jordan play I wasn’t alive I can only go off highlights and stats but I’ve seen and I’m seeing lebron play 🤷🏾‍♂️

I would argue MJ didnt make his teammates better, Lebron did.

Hakeem is 100% correct

Lebron is the best player Jordan is more accomplished

Bill Russell is goat

Lebron is hands down the greatest to ever play the game. His all around game is way better than Jordan ever was. I grew up watching Jordan, but he wasn’t a great team player. Lebron can dominate and be a team player all at the same time.

Magic, how is Lebron dominating in this era when he is getting dominated by his contemporaries time and time again. And I do not agree with him being the best all-around player. That would be MJ too. And then Shaq, how many people had more career points than MJ? And were they considered better? NO, so that argument is weak. That is just another case of moving the goal post for his legacy. Bill Laimbeer, you said Lebron came into the league and his team was winning. What year are you talking about? Because people are always giving MJ a hard time about getting swept in the playoffs when he first came into the league, but the REAL TRUTH is Lebron didn't even make the playoffs until his 3RD YEAR. So how is that coming into the league and your team is winning? That actually applies to MJ. He came in and took his team to the playoffs and improved their record. And NEVER MISSED A PLAYOFF until after he went to the WIzards where he had very little, and ZERO Hall of Famers. Yet Lebron has 4 other HOF's, All-Stars, former champs, on his team and couldn't make the play-in. And that right there speaks volumes to alot of things that people say about him. Leadership, High IQ, making his teammates better. After last season, all of these things should be questioned.

Mj

How come the older players who have more rings than Michael are not greater than him? This just shows that all hate towards Lebron is from players who played with Michael. They want basketball to be stagnant. Players are more Wealthy, they changed the game, they are business owners, they have a voice, and they are talented, but yet they are holding on to Michael’s era. I guess they don’t want the sport to evolve. Lebron is a genius and a lot of old players are jealous because he’s great off and on the court. He doesn’t abuse and chase women like how they did.

Jordan

They’re both GOATS. Greatest can be plural. The Greatest (singular or plural) player(s) of all time. If you have 1, cool, if you have 2, 3, 4, cool, but it’s perfectly fine to have more than one if you see them as equals.

Lebron is better or you blind honestly... MJ have a better legacy but he played in the best team ever , best GM, best coach.

Nobody ever got shot for a pair of LeBrons n Tom Brady isn't the LeBron of football....

I think Jordan

This last shit debate is trash when Lebron has more buzzer beaters and more points within the last 2 minutes of a close out game! Do we just forget stats when its MJ vs Bron

Michael Jordan,who else..

We still saying “Kobe” when we shoot. I agree with the 1. Jordan 2. Kobe 3. Lebron I’m talking legacy in my opinion

Let’s not forget lebron leads mj in all stat categories

Taking over games can only be accomplished when the coach tells the players to give the ball to the star and get out of the way, many players in the NBA are capable of taking over games if allowed to do so and don't get benched for trying to do too much, when it's all said and done, who cares it's a team sport. 🖤👽

Bill Russell =Goat

LeBron

Didn't hear, Scottie said Lebron is the GOAT

Shaq copied my top 3

Magic is the Goat period

U can tell bill lambier don't know what he's talking about and he just don't like Jordan. He said lebrons teams won as soon as he came in. Jordan been to the playoffs every single year. Lebron missed the playoffs how many times?

If mike had lebron body 💀💀💀

I have never seen MJ walked out with 5 minutes left of the game because his team is losing.

At least Tracy knows what he’s talking about.

Jordan can win only one team, but Lebron can win diff team both are great players...but for me goat is Lebron....

Ppl really funny AF talking about MJ the goat off YT highlights they watch. Meanwhile tuned into every game of Lebrons career for last 19years!!!! then criticize 😭😭

Anyone under 40 stop commenting You cant speak on it You never seen the GOAT Highlights Don’t show the full picture

Magic stop it MJ got what Kenton don’t got unbelievable drive and will to win and never had that I quit or look beat ever in his face or his game. If he lost he just lost never quit.

Lebron easily I grew up in both graduated 02

Mike . Hands down Lebron too many no shows in big moments. Lebron is the best all around player due to his size and physique. MJ. Always defended the top players on opposing teams Lebron was usually hiding in the paint somewhere

LebroN is the GOAT

This notion that when LeBron passes Kareem, that'll make him the GOAT is absurd. Karl Malone passed MJ on the scoring list, and no one ever confused him as the GOAT !

Mj.

take away the rings and the mvp's what is lebron great at?is he the greatest scorer ever? greatest passer ever? greatest shooter ever?the greatest ball handler? maybe im wrong but from what i hear people are comparing points,rings and mvp not the actual play of the game.

LeBron is an opportunist

Did Pippin play with Lebron.... maybe Lebron wanted the ball too?

Lebron>MJ

Lebron James is not 285! 😭 235-259. That is it.

You can always connect the dots between who competed against who. Watch jordan against Kobe and lebron against Kobe. It can give us an idea. Jordan never got the chance to go against prime Kobe that would have been so fun. In one on one situations if you watch the highlights Kobe cooked Bron. I still have Kobe ahead of lbj until he gets that 5th

Bron better

Mj always had a good when Jordan left the bulls they won 60 something games and was 1 bad call from the the finals bron always had to carry his team but Miami if you were to bron off the cavs the first time they would be The worst team in the league you take bron off the heat they would’ve been a solid team you take bron off the cavs the Second time they would be bad and take bron off the Lakers they would be bad too🤷🏽‍♂️

MJ is the goat..Lebron 2nd best and Kareem is third!

King James!!

The SALT from some of these players is soooo delicious! Lambeer is still salty af. MJs Bulls went to the playoffs every year since he was a rookie.... so saying Lebron's teams always won is a joke. This year they couldn't even make the play-in

Jordan was 6-0 in the finals, two three peats, did all that in a 8 year span with the same team,retiring in between. Lebron 4-6 in the finals with three different teams and 1 bubble ring. If he never left Cleveland he wouldn’t have any rings. Lebron should never be in a GOAT conversation

mj can't win the championship without pippen

MJ was colder but lebron greater🤷

Stop it

Lebron is the goat, it's time for yall to stop slurping Jordan popsicle

Nah lebron the goat 🐐

KING 🤴 James is The Best

I feel like MJ legacy is a lil overrated and gets too much credit for those bulls teams. But I understand that as a player… bron is better but MJ had too many accomplishments
