The simplest argument for Michael Jordan still being greater than Lebron James 

I realize that there's a group of people that won't have anything significant to contribute so they'll default to screaming "Hater" But, before you do that, just realize I've made a lot of pro Lebron videos on the channel Like here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w2mY-yhsnEk.html Here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-20a9MyVSttQ.html And here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-X9ugJ0tXkOQ.html So there is no hate here, and I've said more than a few times Lebron still has a chance to pass MJ. Leave the hater comments at home.

Non basketball fans- did mike come back 3-1 Real basketball fans- mike never went down 3-1

a reason why MJ didnt beat a 70 win team, cause they were the 70 win team

Can you imagine Michael Jordan being outplayed by a guy like Jason Terry in the finals? Jordan would have destroyed Terry...

Damn Jason Terry was busting Lebron’s ass in the finals at the age of 33 lol

Anytime a "LeBron is 🐐" convo comes up, I'm going to immediately hit em with "But can he guard Jason Terry???"

Another argument is that Stockton and Malone have no rings because the 2 times they went to the finals, they faced MJ. John Stockton: all-time leader in assists and steals! Karl Malone: 2nd all-time scoring leader, 7th all-time rebounder! Together they may be the best duo of all time. Heck they are almost as good as Jason Terry!

If the 1996 Bulls played the 2011 Mavs “And the biggest question for MJ tonight, can he stop Jason Terry” Michael: “It became personal with me.” *proceeds to drop 50*

Anyone rewatching after “The Last Dance”?

I lost it when the Super Mario sound effects started when Terry blew by him. Dying over here lol.

Bro, you’re bringing in too much facts and making too much sense for the kids to comprehend.

Imagine what Bron Stans would do if Jordan got outplayed by Jason Terry in the Finals.

I just need to put this out there. Just because youre more all around and 3 inches taller and almost 50 pounds heavier doesnt mean you’re a better basketball player, it just means you’re a more all around player. Do you ever see people saying ben simmons is a better basketball player than stephen curry? No.

Bron Fans: Did MJ come back from 3-1 Me: *Did he ever go down 3-1*

I’m 34 years old, I watched every bulls game on wgn when I was young even tho I lived in Pennsylvania, we got the channel. My dad used to say “take it in, you’ll never see another player anywhere close to mj. When I watch Lebron, I don’t get that “wow feeling.” Lebron is great but Jordan was mesmerizing. It was like watching a fucking ghost, you were just in awe

Also when Jordan is playing. You know that he's going to do EVERYTHING he can to win. And beautiful moves will follow

If this was about dating: MJ went on 6 dates and scored each time. While LBJ went on 8 dates and got rejected 5 times.

"can he stop Jason Terry?" LOL

The "Draymond green ruins your chances at parenthood" LOOOL

Why is this even an argument? James is a great player, but there's only one Micheal Jordan, period

I have watched the end of this video.... a lot of times. From when you ask "You know why Jordan was never the underdog?" and then showing us.... Art. thank you.

The only thing better about Lebron's game over MJ's game is the hi-def video.

I just still can't believe my Bulls drafted Jordan. Goodness gracious. Talk about drafting once in a million years player.

I always say, if you aren’t old enough to have watched Michael Jordan play, then don’t tell me LeBron James is better because I’ve watched both, and it ain’t even close!

I was just watching an episode of "The Last dance" about the bulls 92 season, and there was an interesting part, that before the finale people were talking, if MJ can do his best against Drexler, and MJ absolutely destroyed him, and said in an interview, that the comparison itself , that there are people who doubt if he can be stopped by that guy is an offence to MJ. That's a GOAT mentality right there. The absolute confidence and will to destroy your opponent with no mercy.

“Can he stop Jason Terry” 😂😅🤣

Simplest argument in 5 words: Can He Stop Jason Terry?

Lmaooo THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT JASON TERRY CLIP THAT MADE MY DAY. I am so proud of my parents naming me Jason also. But no not after Jason Terry Lol

This is one of the greatest videos showing that Michael Jordan is the greatest and most influential player ever. Three peat , twice, back to back. No legitimate big man doing a time when u needed a big man to win the chip. Facts

*Can he stop Jason Terry ?!* WOW

“Ruin your chances at parenthood” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Larry Bird, most complete player, Magic, best court vision/ improvisation Lebron most versatile player, Shaq, most dominant player, Vince Carter, best dunker Michael Jordan, Greatest Will to win, greatest of all time.

I never get tired of watching it. This may be the greatest and "simplest" video that proves why MJ is and will be the goat.

“Can he stop Jason Terry? CAN HE STOP JASON TERRY? CAN... HE... STOP... JASON... TERRY?”

I love LBJ and I am a fan but when I looked closer into MJ’s career, damn all I can say is MJ is way better.

Poor Lebron. This has haunted him his whole career and will haunt him his whole life. Even Kobe didn’t care this much.

And Michael played when everyone PLAYED DEFENSE.

That compilation of Jordan in the last minute was breathtaking

When you have two hall of farmers on your team and you take PED’s but still can’t beat Jason terry in the finals

When you're the best, you're not the underdog.

The best argument you’ve shown in this video is showing MJ’s clips where he’s scoring against a packed lane. Because no one wanted to shoot 3’s back then, spacing was poor and it was much more difficult to get to the rim. Hence why LeBron’s FG is higher.

"Draymond can shoot the 3 ball" - That did not age well

Thing is Jordan probably would’ve had more accomplishment if he hadn’t retired for two years

"The simplest argument" **video is 20 minutes long**

I remember when this vid 1st came out & you first started your channel. I seen this vid already I’m just shocked to see it at over a mill views. You came a long way, that’s what I call grinding 💪🏾💪🏾. Keep up the great work it’s all paying off. You’re motivation.

Nick Wright probably writes fan-fics about him and Lebron

Lebron can guard all 5 positions but he can't guard Jason Terry. LOL.

That was brutal .... u left them with NOTHING to fall back on with that explanation

You did a FANTASTIC JOB My brotha!!Thats extremely accurate!! Why hadn't anyone thought to put this Up!?! Soooo Glad You did!!!Big thanks here straight from TEXAS!!!

People that say lebron is better never watched mj play.

“Can he stop Jason Terry”😂😂😂

Funny how people say “old head” when someone else knows more than they do. 😂 good shit!

Michael Jordan will always be the greatest. And LeBron hasn’t and won’t pass him. Without a doubt

And people seem to forget when in 1988-89 Jordan led the league in scoring while averaging 32.5 PPG, 8.0 APG, 8.0 RPG and 2.9 SPG. Then Phil Jackson came

Was I the only one that got goosebumps when mj's montage came on

Didn't even mention Jordan being the most clutch player of all time and his game winning shots, specially in the finals.

They all try to use numbers to define their argument, looking at them as a whole MJ will always come out on top

MJ played 1072 games during his career (including the wizard years) In those 1072 games among his accomplishments: 6 finals 6 rings 6 finals mvp 5 times MVP 14 x all star 3 all star mvp 10 scoring titles 9 all defensive team rookie of the year defensive player of the year 2 time dunk champion and many others Lebron is already at 1125 NBA games played (more than MJ) and has not achieved even HALF of MJs accolades. Thas should tell you enough. Add to that the fact that once MJ reached the top of the hill, he never came down. And the impact he had was unmatched. Also, there were never 4th quarter jokes about MJ, or other jokes in general. The guy was the shit.

*My Goat wouldn’t get outplayed by Jason Terry* 😂

I went and rewatch sum of Michael Jordan’s games he’s was insane at just scoring

To this day this point still stands 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

LMAO the Mario music killed me😂😂😂

I’m a Heat fan. I got love for LeBron, but he choked against the Mavericks. MJ never choked, period. This is the most accurate, comprehensive, comparison of the two, hands down. Good job.

LeBron can destroy you in a single game, Kobe can go off 81 and destroy your team, MJ WILL DESTROY YOUR ERA

There's always the possibility that LeBron's longevity will become 2 great to ignore in the goat debate. It's just Mj was greater, more skilled, had a better influence and legacy, and was better than LeBron. There's no disagreeing with this.

I died when that Mario music came on. Good call Dom

Jordan is in a league of his own

4 year old video and yet this my favorite RU-vid debate

Hey man your content is great, ive just started watching the NBA over the past couple years and your content is really awesome for getting some context in todays league. Good stuff 👍🏼

Point taken. Both of these players are awesome, but Jordan was Special. He's #1 in my book.

No disrespect but MJ can shut down Jason Terry with the snap of his fingers

Lebron James averaged 17 point per game against the Mavericks in 2011 In his entire playoff career of 179 games, Michael Jordan has only TWO games with 17 or less points, the other was 15 points. 2011 is something we never saw from Jordan in the playoffs. He had 13 seasons in Chicago, never missed the playoffs, 6 ended in rings and in 6 of the other 7, he lost to the eventual conference champion and NBA finalist, 3 times he lost to the eventual champion. The only time that didn't happen was his rookie season.

Very informative this is a good video keep it up bro

damn Jason Terry put it on him. I didnt watch that series but now i see why people keep bringing it up.

For me once the guy you checking gets Finals MVP on you the debate has to be over. I can't even fathom MJ letting someone just ball on him in the championships. Both great players but only one is a cold blooded killer. My two cents.

It’s 2020 and I still wanna be like Mike!

There was a 33-game stretch in the late 80s where Michael Jordan played the same kind of roles as Lebron James in his offense. He was asked to be a true point guard and facilitate the offense. In that stretch he got 18 triple doubles. For the season he was pretty close to getting a triple double. And in that stretch of games Michael Jordan put up well over 30 points a game while getting over 10 rebounds and assists a game. If Michael Jordan had been asked to do the things that LeBron does and Westbrook does, he would have been the first player since Oscar Robertson to get a triple-double for a season. And for a pure volume shooter he is the greatest field goal percentage guy of all time. Who shoots the majority of their shots from 10 to 25 feet out and makes half of them? There's only one other point guard that shot that many and made that many

i dont think lebron can survive dennis rodman.

I can't stand Michael Jordan. I've been a Spurs fan for my whole life. Why do I hate him so much? He was the best ever. He killed the Spurs repeatedly (By himself). As for LeBron..... We destroy that chick all the time. LOL

Excellent analysis. Loved it.

I'm a lifelong Jazz fan. Grew up watching Stockton and Malone. If anyone should hate Michael it'd be us Jazz fans, especially with the new fictional story about how we apparently tried to kill him with pizza. Michael is the best player ever...he just is. No point trying to deny it. Good video with stats and facts.

My biggest problem is that he said playmaking isn't in the SG job description, but doesn't mention the fact that it is even less in the SF description

Cough Cough*3 point line moved up in 96*Cough Cough

As a casual basketball watcher, and ignoring all the stats, let me tell you just from watching these two guys I cannot fathom why it's even an argument. Jordan was agile and fluid, running circles around the other team. I don't see how James even stands out from other typical players.

The BEST video EVER!!!! Plus funniest thing I've ever seen. Thank you!!😂😂😂

Most of MJ’s steals were him stealing LBJ’s hairline

Just the way MJ played the game... man why is this a topic... by far a true champion

I was in high school when jordan won his second three-peat. I witnessed both MJ and Bron in their primes. I was not a jordan fan. I was a bron fan. The difference between watching both is this.. I would root AGAINST Jordan, knowing that he will always find a way to win and will end up winning....I would root FOR Lebron to win, knowing he might not pull it off, and that has nothing to do with teammates, it is 100% killer instinct..watching them both in their primes, its night and day.

13:59 “can he stop Jason Terry!!”🤣🤣🤣🤣

"The Simplest Argument" Proceeds to post 21 minute video

Thank you for bringing up the 2014 Finals when the Spurs tore the Heat apart. Wade played hurt and out of shape but Kawhi kept LeBron from having any real impact on the series despite the 28 points a game he scored. I’d also talk about the 2013 Finals. The Spurs were up 2-1 going into Game 4 in SA. Wade was the best player on the floor in Game 4. He dominated on both ends of the floor. LeBron followed him. He scored more points but it was a vintage Wade performance that won the game. If they had lost, they would’ve been down 3-1 and they would’ve lost. LeBron has played with three dudes (Wade, Kyrie, now AD) who were dominant one on one scorers. Jordan played with none.

Thank you!! Great vid!

Half these people didn’t watch the video and went straight to the comments. 😂

This video is nothing but pure straight up facts!!!

I'm laughing like a madman at "Can he stop Jason Terry?" Now try not to feel stupid asking yourself about Jordan: - can he stop Jeff Hornacek? - can he stop Bryon Russell? - can he stop Hersey Hawkins? - can he stop Dan Majerle? - can he stop Byron Scott? or even - can he stop Clyde Drexler? Because back then, it was no question that anybody in their right mind would have dared to ask.

Thx Dom. I was needed

And watching MJ do his thing was actually beautiful to watch. Smooth MJ was

People need to accept it. Michael Jordan has no peer. None. The first non-center that a team was built around.

@Black MoonHawk 85: out 1st round with a broken foot averaging 28.2 per game 86: out 1st round averaging 22.7 per game and scored 63 points to a team who was a 1st defensive team (Celtics eventually won the championship) 87: out 1st round averaging 37.1 PPg to a team to a team who went to the finals (Celtics again but eventually lost to the Lakers) 88: out 1st round to a team and still average 35.0 PPg (Bad boy pistons who went to the finals but eventually lost to the Lakers) Pippen in 88’: averaged 7.9 PPg so he wasn’t coming off a superstar in the beginning 89: out in conference finals averaging 32.5 PPg (out by pistons who eventually won the championship) Pippen in 89: 14.4 PPg 90: out in conference finals again by Pistons who eventually won a championship but still averaging 33.6 PPg Pippen in 90: 16.5 PPg 91: won the championship averaging 31.5 and swept the pistons 4-0 and beat the Lakers (Magic was aging so I would say this is the easiest championship MJ has won) since Lakers were 3rd seed and a 50+ winning team he had to get through the pistons tho and he was older then them so don’t use the pistons were outta their prime because they weren’t Pippen in 91: 17.8 PPg 92: beat a team in a championship who was a number one seed averaging 30.1 (Portland) who was a 50+ winning team Pippen in 92: 21.0 PPg 93: beat a team in a championship who was number one seed averaging 32.6 ppg (Suns) who were a 60+ winning team Pippen: 18.6 PPg 95: came outta retirement and was out of the conference semifinals and was out by magic who was a 50+ winning team who went to the finals and lost to the rockets. Pippen was still an MVP playing in his prime. MJ: 26.9 PPg Pippen: 21.4 PPg 96: beat a team in a championship who was number one seed and also swept the magic 4-0 is why shaq wanted a trade (SuperSonics) averaging 30.4 PPg Rodman: 5.5 PPg Pippen: 19.4 PPg Bulls: 72-10 season 97: beat a team in a championship who was number one seed who was a 60+ Winning team (Jazz) MJ: 29.6 PPg Rodman: 5.7 PPg Pippen: 20.2 PPg 98: beat a team a in championship who was a number one seed who was a 60+ winning team (Jazz) This is MJ at 35: 28.7 PPg Pippen who missed 35 games that season and was 32: 19.1 PPg Rodman was 37: 4.7 PPg At this point Pippen fell off as a superstar after Jordan retired along with Rodman Jordan well averaged well above 20.0 PPg all at the age of 38 when both his knees gave up on him had many 40 and 50 points per game back to back. The point I’m making is that no matter if Jordan lost he knew how to handle himself and won against teams who were not easy to beat is why he is still 6-0 in the finals and only had one all star playing with him all of his career. Had won with a team who was garbage at the beginning and had worked his way up to win championships. He has won in less less time in his full time 11 seasons with Chicago in less time. Offensive force Dominant Defender Has many nba records Work ethic Accolades Unguardable jumpshot Back to back championships Clutch Killer instinct Good fundamentals in basketball Competitive player when he needs to be the most especially in the finals= thanos Lebron is a good versatile player but it doesn’t make him the better player, he has flaws to the game. I had to get outta the Lebron bandwagon last year till I did my research. There’s a reason why the ratings for the nba finals were high in the 90s because they wanna see MJ play, the man doesn’t even have social media and yet we still talk about him, there’s a reason why his shoes keep selling. It’s crazy how he retired and won another 3 peat which is on a another level. This is why he is the goat.

The difference is , Can LeBron put 40+ points using only midrange shots? No...but Jordan Can!😊🤗
