New Zealand Family First Time Watching LEBRON JAMES! (WE CHOOSE OUR GOATS!) WHO IS YOURS? 

Who is you goat? MJ, Lebron or someone else? Let us know! 👇🏻

I love how she has more sense than most of the nba fans when it comes to debating between the two greats in MJ and LBJ… she distinguished the difference in expectations, criticisms and era that they played in, whereas the so called nba fans that debate between the two do not even factor those in…

Fun fact: The year Michael Jordan was drafted (1984), was the year LeBron James was born. The year Jordan retired for the final time (2003), was the year LeBron was drafted.

I am from Akron, a smaller city close to Cleveland where LeBron is also from. I remember being in Cleveland that night watching game 7 with some friends at a bar. When Kyrie made that game winning shot the energy in that bar was absolutely unreal. Beer was flying everywhere lol and everyone was just screaming their heads off. Complete strangers from all walks of life just hugging each other in the streets. It was truly magical and it’s something I’ll never forget. Thank you for another great video!

Wifey really smart how she picked up the differences in their game and little nuances in their careers just from these 2 videos 💯❤️

Larry Bird is a must see in this quest.

Your wife made the absolute best assessment and comparison of Lebron and MJ! I’ve lived through both eras of Michael Jordan and LeBron James, and have witnessed both of them in person. Your wife and daughters assessment is the best I’ve ever heard thus far.

I get so much pleasure from watching this wonderful family innocently and honestly assess individuals and events as first time witnesses. It's an absolute joy, the best thing going. Bless you all.

I remember watching your solo videos and I just wanna say you have an amazing family. I can tell you're a great dad to your kids and a loving husband to your lovely wife. Hopefully I get to see more family reactions to basketball in the future lol

I may not have watched it but I remember hearing about it 🎉🎉🎉 everywhere... MJ and LJ are both legendary in there own way.

Someone asked Jordan if him, Magic Johnson and Bird could beat Labrons team and by how much. MJ said they would beat them by A few points. When asked why only A few, his answer was " Well we are all in our 60s now. 😂😂😂

Sam, you were very close. I'm from Cleveland. When LeBron came "home" in 2015 (Akron is about 63 km, or 39 miles south of Cleveland), it was like his 4 years in Miami were college, because he went straight to the pros out of high school. When he got the Cavs a title in 2016, it was the first time our city won a major sports championship since the Browns won the NFL title in 1964...a few years before the Super Bowl was born...52 years! There were 1.3 million people a the championship parade a few days later!

GREAT REACTION!!!! Beautiful family.... Babygirl is so Smart, because she caught on by watching, and asked: "Do the ball have to leave your hand before the buzzer goes off" That was so cool to see.... KEEP EM COMING!!! #HAAP2

Jordan will forever be the GOAT ,,,,,spend a night watching his highlights and listening to the greats that played against him and you'll see 100% hands down not even close!!

Really astute analysis by the misses, impressive to recognize the nuances of the eras and skills for someone who doesn’t watch basketball

I've noticed that the people who pick LBJ over Jordan, are younger people that never watched Jordan play.

THANK YOU SO VERY VERY VERY MUCH FOR COMING BACK ON TO THE FAMILY.

Wilt Chamberlain is often overlooked and even dismissed. Check him out for yourself 🏀

Im from Cleveland, and that night the cavs won the finals is something i will never forget, it didnt matter where you were everyone was celebrating. After Kyrie made that shot everyone was outside storming the streets. No matter how many people saying The Cavs couldnt do it, everyone in Northeast Ohio knew they could.

It’s crazy I remember watching a video so you guys a year or 2 ago and the kids are really growing up I hope all of you guys are doing good. Keep up the good work and content

Happy Father’s Day!! But the way you guys reacted to some person honking was somehow funny 😂💀❤

As an old timer, I give you my all-time top ten: 1) Michael Jordan, 2) Magic Johnson, 2) Wilt Chamberlain, 4) Bill Russell, 5) Larry Bird, 6) Lebron James, 7) Kareem Abdul Jabbar, 8) Tim Duncan, 9) Kobe Bryant, 10) Shaquille O'Neal. Also, do yourselves a favor and watch the Michael Jordan Historic Bulls Mix Tape. The Jordan video you viewed was sub-par.

I highly recommend The Last Dance and Air if you haven't seen them. Great insights into what MJ did for the game and very entertaining overall.

Growing up watching Kareem, Chamberlain, Dr J, Magic, Bird, Kobie, Russell, Shaq, Lebron, Curry, and now Jokic. Without a dought, Jordan is the GOAT though I like Kobie better, but the stats Mike.

Michael had the flu and still won. He also won 3 in a row, left for 2 years, came back, then won 3 more in a row.

Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player ever. Love him. I heard he couldn’t even make the Jr Varsity team in High School and was told he would never play basketball. I love how he went on to prove the naysayers wrong. You can do anything you put your mind to.

I watched the Jordan video and this and I love how the family asks questions and dads like “I don’t know for sure, I can’t really comment but…..” and then proceeds to be 100% correct about whatever he’s saying.

I love your channel each, and everyone of you! I subscribed😊❤

Y’all gotta do Steph curry next 💯

Larry Bird is the GOAT team player! Can you fix the sound on the videos that you show so the volume is louder?

This family is fun to watch. Their reactions are priceless. lol

Man i love how much you like the suns bro. I lived in arizona from 8 - 22 years old. Its a great place.

Jordan was criticized early as not a team-first guy like Magic Johnson and Larry Bird; he was considered just a flashy scorer by the media. But other players and coaches during that time knew the truth. "I didn't think anyone was capable of doing what Michael has done to us," Larry Bird marveled. "He is the most exciting, awesome player in the game today. I think it's just God disguised as Michael Jordan."

Jordan. I think since he went to college and graduated he took time to mature before coming into league. Lebrun went right from high school. They changed the rules to change that.

Was watching one of your videos ( coney dogs ) thought I would let you know an easy why to get the grease out of the pan when you cook ground meet . Just tilt pan and use paper towels to collect the grease.

2 legend that can’t be compared honestly 🫡

Bird #33 All the way.

I know you have the comments off on your last video. I just want to say something so say this here. You guys are great. You showed your kids how good people stand up and own a situation and handle it. ❤ Your channel has a lot to offer even without opening 10,000's of boxes lol.

I know you guys may not understand necessarily but.. in America, sports are such a HUGE part of people’s lives… and watching this video.. I found myself with goosebumps all over my body a couple tears in my eye, and I felt like a kid again… basketball has been my life since I was kid, and it’s the sport I love the most, and Lebron James was the reason I got into basketball, and was my biggest inspiration all my life, there’s never been a player like him, and no one has ever been on top of his game as long as him.. my inner child that was just a kid with a dream of making it to NBA really came out watching this one, thank y’all for posting this ❤️

You would love watching “Lob City” highlights. It’s the LA Clippers team around 2011-2014 era where they had Blake Griffin and Chris Paul, and Paul used to throw Griffin so many alley oops and there would be so many crazy dunks they became known as Lob City. You’d have a blast watching those clips!

A "His Royal Airness" vs "King James" with both of them in the prime would be a sight for the ages had it not been for father time placing them in different eras. What would you pay to see these two in their prime battle it out on the ole court?

Wilt Chamberlain is the greatest ever in Basketball. He still holds 72 NBA records. No one will be able to be as dominant as Wilt Chamberlain was. He scored 100 points in a game. He averaged 50 points per game one season & like 20 rebounds in that same season. He probably had at least 10 blocked shots a game that season. They did not keep track of that stat back then.

MJ & LJ are both legends of their time. I agree with Mrs at 17:05, footage quality and camera angles do a lot of job today compared to the 90s videos.

Notice the back spin on the ball, Very important, Back spin bring the rebound straight down forward spin the ball rebouds off the back board ... Fun fact

Mike made the team around him better, he knew he couldnt win a championship by hisself so he worked with the whole team and made them better he'd be in the weight room at 5am while his teammates were just coming in, he made the team work their butts off to get better and they did!!

Discussion over! MJ Even a lovely family form NZ knows.

APPALACHIA is up in the mountains in America ... from New York- Tennessee mountain people. They have a sandwich you may find interesting. White bread, bananas/sliced and mayo. I tried it and love it.

Happy Father's Day! from a fan in the USA.

PLEASE! Look up tapes of Pete Maravich! Phenomenal talent even with smaller size. Also, look up Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell!

Damn!!!!!! What a great debate among family

Y’all need to watch the slam dunk contests! The most amazing thing ever! What these athletes can do is unreal!

You guys should look at how identical MJ and Kobe’s game was. There’s many videos on them doing the exact same plays lol.

If you haven't done Steph Curry you really must. He is the best shooter on the league and changed the game. He's most famous for his 3 point shot. He's part of The Golden State Warrior's who have won several Championships over the past few years.

been waiting for this one 😊

I understand the disabling of comments on "We lost control". I suspected the amount of mail being received was overwhelming. Glad we can all be on the same page and provide space in your home and mental health❤ excited for the unique pieces of mail to come if any

Larry Bird is the GOAT. What the Making the Case video on Larry Bird.

New subscriber and love y’all! Jordan is the GOAT!!! If you are the person that they compare others to, aka saying it’s “Jordanesque,” that automatically makes you the best

Don’t forget, this doesn’t include his 2020 championship and him passing Kareem in all time scoring leader.

17:44 such a great point! So true

Not sure if you've seen the definitive GOAT debate Lebron vs Jordan, but that might be a good reaction for the channel since you've watched videos on both players. It's a very good breakdown although a bit outdated. I believe it's 2 or 3 years old now. Still a good watch! Love the reactions!!

I don't usually follow NBA, but I am very happy that my hometown team finally won a championship. The Denver Nuggets just clinched the 2023 NBA championship.

I live near where lebron went to high school. I almost transferred to St. Vincent St. Mary’s high school myself. I had family members who used to see lebron play in high school and I got the chance to see him play in Cleveland. It was amazing

Please look at Michael Jordan's bulls historic mix tape in addition to the goat debate/ comparison. Many are considered great basketball players, but Jordan was truly an exceptional artist who utilized the court as his canvas. He was drawn to the rim, its like the ball was an extension of his arm. Truly unbelievable, an assisin who demanded respect on the court by many who feared him.

LARRY! They all were in awe of Larry Bird.

You gotta do the Kobe, who is actually built from the same cloth of MJ and who was a direct mentorship and success. They battled each other in their career transitions and Kobe being the torch carrier when MJ retired. MJ was one of Kobe's eulogy speakers at his funeral who couldn't hold back his tears. MJ and Kobe were for a couple decades were that only GOAT comparisons before LBJ was even thought about in that discussion.

I'm not sure how close you guys are to Auckland but the New Zealand Breakers play 10 home games at Spark Arena starting up again September 30th. They've had 4 players get drafted into the NBA in recent years and the league they play in (NBL) is one of the top professional leagues in the world. It's become a sort of feeder league into the NBA where top young prospects choose to start their professional careers rather than playing in college in the states. It's VERY GOOD basketball & I think would be worth checking out if you guys have hoops fever!

Love the reaction videos🔥🔥

I have seen both MJ and Lebron play in person. Jordan did things on a court that just left you mesmerized. Lebron has too; but In my opinion, Jordan’s resume is greater and will go down as an overall better player than Lebron

One thing they miss is his IQ and how he can literally tell what the other team is running therefore allowing him to control the game .. wish this video explained that for y’all more

Best dunks from NBA dunk contests, would be cool for you guys to watch.

LeBron grew up in the city next to mine and it’s always cool driving past where he grew up and going to his high school for sporting events. His mom would always go to a restaurant where I live and I’ve saw her about 3 times. But I haven’t seen her in years so idk what happened

Nobody outdoes Michael Jordan. Kareem Abdul-jabbar is still an awesome guy. I’m a hockey girl myself. The Detroit Red Wings are my team and I live in Colorado.

Hard to say, their styles and eras were so different. John Stockton is one of the most underrated players of all time. Other unlikely players to check out would be Spud Webb and Muggsy Bogues.

Also loved Adam Morrison and John Stockton, from my hometown. Go Zags!!!

Kobe is also a must see he inspired me in many ways by his mentality that he had and I hope he will inspire y’all if they decide to watch him in action

Larry Bird. He'd have every player in the league today on the bench with their face in their hands crying their eyes out.

This Lebron MJ debate has been going on for quite some time but just points production isn't the only factor. If you look at the analytics video it puts them into their respective positions and how they rank. Numbers aren't biased so that should put the debate to rest.

“I got a feeling they gone come back” and does it the next season 😂

Lots of love, support, and respect from McGill, Nevada. Love you guys and your videos so much. I don’t know where you’ll be going on your US trip but if you come to Las Vegas, Nevada, here are some fun things I think you should do - * Ride the rides on top of the Stratosphere * Ride the roller coaster at New York New York Hotel and Casino * Go to M & M’s World Also, here are a few shows that are in Las Vegas - * Tournament of Kings at Excalibur Hotel and Casino * Cirque du Soleil ( this circus has a few different shows throughout Vegas at different hotel/casinos including Ka (their fire show), O (their water show), a Michael Jackson show, and a The Beatles show) * Terry Fator (he’s a ventriloquist) * The Blue Man Group And so much more

Larry BIrd on top of them!

Just a comment: On your " We lost control" video you said you had to remove the expired items from a box. Probably did not need to do that. Most non-refridgerated food items are perfectly good up to a year or more past the expiration date. USA expiration dates are basically sell by dates for retailers. Legally a retailer can not sell the item past that date. Expiration dates in no way means you can not consume after that date. It is more of a freshness check. To insure " freshness" it is consumed before that date. I can go in my pantry right now and grab a jar of unopened jelly that expired a year ago and it is perfectly fine to eat. Same for can goods and even some snack food. Usually a year or two even past the expiration date is just fine. Almost any food anyone sends you that is expired is still 100% safe to eat.

talent and skill wise nobody can top bron by a landslide

21:19 He was, but he was very good at protecting his brand. Because David Stern started his stint as Commissioner just before Jordan, he also helped to protect Jordan's criticisms somewhat, especially when nobody really said much just after Jordan returned from foot injuries in his second season.

MJ is EASILY the 🐐 for me. It's hard to compare different era's. Not hard, impossible. My personal favorite and my 🐐 is Hakeem Olajuwon. He's pretty much royalty here in Houston. I grew up watching him and I was sooooo very lucky. Sad we never got that Chicago Bulls vs Houston Rockets finals. 😔

There's really no way to compare players who didn't play in same era, unless they played directly against each other, and for multiple seasons... Everyone has favorites of course, next check out some old school players who DID play vs MJ and were great too... Bird and Iverson are both remarkable, no matter who they played...

4:40 That was Chauncy Billups, who is the current Portland Trailblazers head coach.

You should look at Wilt Chamberlin. He scored the NBA's ONLY 100-point game and still holds the record for most points in a season and most points per game in a season. There's also Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who was the NBA MVP the most times (6). And Bill Russell won the most championships (11)

For the "Lebron is better" crew out there... Enjoy these stats and facts I put together for you - Michael Jordan has: •2 more rings •2 more final mvp's •1 more DPOY •1 more season MVP •9 more scoring titles •3 more steals leader •3 more all defensive team selections •328 more steals •Beat 20 50+ win teams in the playoffs (Lebron only defeated 10). •Jordan never averaged less than 40% Field Goal in the finals Lebron did it twice . •6/6 Finals (never allowed a game 7) •Lebron had much more offensive help, example: Jordan never had a teammate average more than 22 points in the finals.. In fact, MJ is the only player in NBA history to lead a team to the championship with only one teammate averaging double figures in scoring * In the Bulls’ 1997 playoff run, Scottie Pippen averaged 19 points per game on 42% shooting. All other teammates of Jordan averaged under 8 points per game. Kyrie averaged over 28 and DWade averaged more than 26 with Lebron. •MJ never ever had a finals meltdown like Lebron in 2011 against the Mavs •MJ had more points in the playoffs in less games.. MJ accomplished all of this in 13 seasons Lebron after his 14th season, was STILL chasing the “ghost (GOAT) that played in Chicago” •Michael Jordan in the playoffs has put up atleast 40ppg, 5rpg, 5apg in 6 different playoff series. Along with an average of about 55% shooting, 3spg and 2bpg. (86 vs bos, 89 vs cavs, 90 vs philly, 92 vs Miami, 93 vs Phoenix, 88 vs cavs) Jordan won every one of those matchups except for the 1986 matchup vs the celtics. •Jordan in 88-89 averaged 32ppg, 8apg, 8rpg, 3spg off 54% shooting. LeBron has never even came close to this stat line. •in 87 thru 92, MJ averaged 5 straight seasons of atleast 51% FG shooting. LeBron has never done this. •the lowest FT% MJ ever shot in a season was 78%. Lebrons highest in a season ever is 78%. •MJ has a higher playoff FG% of 48.7% to Lebrons 48.3% •MJ has a higher playoff player efficiency rating of 28.6 to Lebrons 27.3. •MJ shoots a higher playoff 3 point percentage of 33.2% to Lebrons 32.9% •LeBron James has scored 30 points, 416 times in 1,117 games. Michael Jordan did it 562 times in 1,072 games. Jordan won 6 championships without losing a final in 1,072 games and LeBron in 1,117 games had already lost 5 times and had only won 3 times. •MJ also shocked the league by being the first (and only) player to have 100 blocks and 200 steals in the same season, then turned around and did it again the next year.. Seriously this list can keep going. This isn’t even a debate. MJ is the GOAT. Michael Jordan: •NBA record 5 playoffs series’ averaging at least 40ppg •Only player in history to lead league in scoring and win DPOY • Highest scoring average, points per game, in any championship series: 41.0 vs. Phoenix Suns, 1993 NBA Finals •Only rookie in NBA history to lead his team in four statistics (1984-85) •Only player in NBA history to lead the league in scoring, win Most Valuable Player, and Defensive Player of the Year in the same season (1987-88) Only player in history to average at least 30pts 6reb 5assists And 2 steals per game AND HE DID IT 7 TIMES. •Only player in NBA history to win Rookie of the Year (1984-85), Defensive Player of the Year (1987-88), NBA MVP (1987-88, 1990-91, 1991-92, 1995-96, 1997-98), All-Star MVP (1988, 1996, 1998), and Finals MVP (1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997, 1998) •Only player in NBA history to lead the league in scoring and win the NBA championship MORE THAN ONCE in the same season * He did this SIX TIMES!! (1990-91, 1991-92, 1992-93, 1995-96, 1996-97, 1997-98) •One of two players in NBA history to score 3,000 points in a season: 3,041 points scored in 82 games played (37.1 ppg) (1986-87) * Wilt Chamberlain is the only other player to achieve this. •MJ is also the only player in NBA history to score over 40 points at age 40, and he did it TWICE! •In 1988, MJ earned: Dunk Champ, All Star Game MVP, NBA Scoring Title, League MVP and Defensive Player of the Year. Michael in only ELEVEN complete seasons with the Bulls: -10 scoring titles, -Won Defensive Player of the Year, -9 times all defensive team, -9time All NBA, -5 league MVPs -6 finals MVPs Michael Jordan had done in 11 seasons things Lebron hasn’t done and won’t do in his whole career…

Watch A Larry Bird highlight reel. He didn't fly like Mike but some may argue he's the Goat because of his abilities.

The Black Mamba 🐐 the Kobe vs Mj Identical Plays video is must see especially the last one 🤯

It should have showed some highlights of his second ring he got with Miami that was some of his major highlights of his career

LeBron has 4 titles and 4 championship MVPs with the most playoff wins and playoff series wins in a tougher era to win than MJs while playing in a league where organizations form teams just to try and beat him...he's so mentally tough and clutch it's insane, while also having all time great stats no one can touch...no one has won more than him ever since he got drafted...his total winning percentage is also insane bc he's played 20 years so far and so many games and minutes

Whoever’s reading this, I pray that whatever your going through gets better and whatever your struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen

The daughter knows . Lebron and mj are different eras. Loved how she put that out. Smart young woman. Proud

MJ had a couple great teammates alongside him at the Bulls

Beeing from Ohio I saw LeBron when he was in high school and saw his team play in the championship game and he was jumping over guys, but he only won 1 championship while in high school, didnt go to college, he went straight into pros, now in all fairness while in high school his team was traveling all over the country playing the best teams in the country, not even Michael did that, but for me the easiest comparison to make beetween the two is this how many championships did they win, Michael 6 LeBron 3 not to mention Michael won 2 back to back to back championships, I watched Mike beat the Celtics in Chicago right after the Celtics won the NBA championship and Mike put up 65 pts that night, how many 65 pt games did LeBron have???

I was at La Bricks first game. He is talented but MJ is the GOAT

I think we can all say Sam is adopted Arizonan because there's been a few videos where he's wearing Phoenix Suns gear.

He's From Akron, Ohio. A city near Cleveland. About a 45 minute drive.

LARRY BIRD. Not even close for those other two.
