Stephen A. CONFESSES a LeBron title might change his mind about the MJ-GOAT debate 😮 | First Take 

BALCO

Nobody had a team stacked like his at aged 39. He is 21 years in still trailing MJ in titles

Being good when you are old... does not make you the GOAT. Jordan was just the better player, had more championships, etc.

Nah just objectively false I would argue Jordan did have expectations in Washington

@@soleil3gsthe 8th seed lakers are stacked now ? LMAO

😂 😂 😂

Lol. Crazy how Steven A has MJ's contact but then again he's the biggest sports head in the U.S and has a funny personality

SAS is just playing devil's advocate here. He doesn't actually think LBJ has any chance of beating Denver. I am sure SAS has his MJ undies on underneath his suit like he always does.

I would too. But I would go further and not follow him at all. Especially watching his show or streams. No thank you kick rocks!

It's beyond being tired at this point mate

nahh not moving the goal post like they said his legacy is already cemented. He could retire rn & still hold the same spot in NBA history that he’s at rn nothing would change. He’s 39 bro, i’m not looking at this guy expecting him to carry them to a chip & beat jokic lmao it’ll have to be AD. If he loses people will call the season a failure (which it would be) & move on, but no one who really knows ball is moving the goal post for bron at this point. His legacy is too stamped to do that.

he’s 39 bro

The goal post stays at 2nd to Jordan

Same thing it meant for Kareem when he lost to the pistons in his last season.

Exactly! Everybody that keeps using his age as an excuse are the same ppl who claimed he was the goat in his prime 🙄 they keep coming up with excuses

😂 lmboo

Facts

"MJ will always be that" shows your bias... there are new players drafted every year. Stop glazing and watch the games

they are insulting people because they know most people are stupid in this society the lack of intelligence in our society is getting scary and it's just accepted as though its "normal" now one guy wins 6 rings in 11 full seasons another has 3 in 20 seasons but if the second one wins a 4th one now he will suddenly become "a better player" than the first guy... and people just sit and ingest this tripe

They can’t say Denver is going to sweep them for 5 days straight

@datsapaddlin That's a fair point. I think Denver was the favourite last year too. The focus of conversation seems to be about LA winning now and last year.

Really? You mean the current nba where they don’t play defense and you are allowed to travel. Did you forget who won the championship last year? If you couldn’t hand check MJ and he could get to the line 20 times a game he would embarrass everyone including Lebron who got embarrassed in the finals by Jason freaking Terry and JJ Barea.

It called 'conditioning' , they're already talking what if the Lakers win over Denver, that way people won't be surprised if Lakers win, there's more money to be made if Lakers win than if Denver wins, betting houses would love for Lakers to win because logic would dictate Denver is a stronger team, so house will make more money if Lakers win and with gambling in full swing in the NBA today, Adam will make sure Lakers get favourable calls, that's what will happen, I'm calling it now..

Only way Jokic will "neutralize" AD is if he camps out on the 3 point line all game and pulls AD out of the box.

Facts! MJ best piece on a system team. Lebron 2007 taking them to the finals with his best players larry Hughes and mo Williams and 2018 Finals with second best player was Kevin Love. He is the system. Whatever team LeBron goes you are going aleast get to Finals and/or playoffs appearances. Kryie was nothing less than an all star when LeBron came to cavs and so was Kevin Love to a degree. both of them never had playoff run before LeBron better yet a finals appearance. Kryie been to the finals 3 times with LeBron and haven't sniff a Finals since leaving the cavs. Just facts.

LeBrick is TRASH!!!

... I've had many arguments with Jordashians about this same topic- for them there is a massive difference in being provided "help" organically vs LBJ "hand picking" his teammates- so that negates the fact that LBJ played better competition, he got to choose his support. Obviously, it is a disingenuous starting point. The Celtics are allowed to create a Big 3 to stop young Lebron, but he is supposed to stay in CLE with Larry Hughes & Mo Williams as his 2nd best player for 7 years. I also agree Jordan is a system player- when that system was not in place in 1995 with no defensive big who could rebound (No Grant or No Rodman), MJ took an early exit at the hands of Orlando (despite averaging 32.5/6/6 in the 1st round) which just gets chalked up to MJ "being rusty". But in reality, without just ONE piece like Grant or Rodman, Chicago does not win those titles they did.

@Reaper13-hi3yo Facts! Lebron is the system. He didn't go to best teams neither. All those teams were tanking year after year. Dwade barely was making to the playoffs since the 06 series. Bosh never saw a playoff run. Kryie and Kevin Love never had playoff runs until LeBron, the Lakers wasn't making the playoffs since 2014 since LeBron. AD was first round exit when he was with the new Orleans. Jordan retire that year and the Bulls season was still identical from year they won a championship, and they almost made it to the finals. Jordan was a great player. But needed a system to carry him over. Jordan couldn't lead that wizard team anywhere. Lol because he playing a different system and different coach. Thats why he was cursing Kwame Brown out every night. Lol

Jordan lost in the 1st rd to hall of famers so what's the difference they both lost. Jordan isn't a system player he was a solo act that had to learn to play with a band Bron was a solo act that knew he needed his band to make the hits from the beginning.

😂

😂

MJ was the best player on a system team! The year he retired, that season record was almost the same without him. He's similar to Tim Duncan and the spurs. The best piece on a great team. Same coach, same scottie, all time rebounder and avg 18pts Horace grant, sharp shooter like Steve Kerr and John Paxson, 3 time defensive player and rebounder, Dennis Rodman, the best European player of that time , Toni Kukoc, all time/triangle offense coach Phil Jackson, etc. He played on a system team. Pretty much same roster and better draft picks and trades.

@@donaldpowell6725let me expose your ignorance. MJ is the only player in the history of basketball that has won regular season mvp, finals mvp, won the chip, led the league in scoring in the regular season and playoffs and was first team all defense. He did this 4x’s that is individual brilliance.

You couldn't have said it any better!

@@Trevor_Schindler said what

Needed Pippen though 🤣

So which one is it, did MJ have no help or are the '96 Bulls the best team of all time? Can't have it both ways.

So he didn't need Pippen, Rodman, Grant, or Harper?

He is trolling! 😂

If I’m not mistaken the first time Jordan won a championship Pippen had more points in the clinching game and he helped MJ defend Magic all series so he wasn’t alone when he started to win. Let’s cut the bull acting like Pippen wasn’t the best second option that could play great on both ends in the 90s 😂. Jordan my GOAT too but he wasn’t alone lol

So kareem was your goat before bron took the scoring title?

​@@user-en3ss4tc1qyou can't argue with lil kids bro

@@Muk1R1 incorrect. I'm a LeBron fan. He isn't the 🐐 but I'd like to see him get another chip. I for one could care less if he is on the juice or not. I've always suspected that Jordan was on something secret. Thing is you'll never be able to prove it. Back when Bron played in Miami both him and Wade were under suspicion of juice use. The key evidence was the shape of the jaw. If it hasn't been scrubbed from the Internet go ahead and take a look. Anyways go Bron 💯 but if ever proven, those records are as good as gone unofficially at the very minimum. My only gripe against LeBron is all the talk of him being the best ever.
