  • MJ is the goat of his generation, and lebron is the goat of this generation. His greatness is unbelievable. Only player in NBA History with over 40000 points.
  • @bones3142
    It’s funny how Hakeem and Oscar Robertson basically said the inverse of each other
  • @benthompson4011
    All these people lately comparing Anthony Edwards’s to Jordan is getting annoying…Edward’s is 22…take a minute and go watch Lebrons highlights at 22(insane)
  • @chrisperez3614
    Kareem is one of the most thoughtful and intelligent players ever.
  • @fhaguila
    Two things can be true at the same time. MJ is the goat, and LeBron is freaking amazing, and old heads (like me) have to appreciate him more. Haters will hate but if you don't recognize LBJ's greatness, you don't know what greatness is.
  • @MK-qs6os
    over 40,000 points. All time leading scorer…Yet he's known for his passing and making ppl around him better. That speaks volumes for his greatness.
  • @caromexidex7783
    Jordan fan do you listen to what Jordan says in the clip ? Dont understand that you can hate and mock a person like they do with LeBron!! Its terrible i really feel sorry for them, really agree with Jordan he said it so well wise humble thank you !! 👏👏👏👍👍
  • Was gonna comment some opinion type shit but these players speak for themselves and it rings harder than any fans opinion, enjoy the ride haters
  • @phile5949
    His most underrated and not talked about stat is that this dude 4th all time in assist ahead of names like magic and Nash and #1 scorer of all time is unthinkable
  • It’ll always be subjective, about 3-4 players have a logical and statistical argument in the GOAT debate but it’s become so toxic that it’s annoying honestly. Just appreciate them all while you can if you like the game.
  • @DM-sl1me
    Who would you listen to first?? All time greats who really understand and played the game or people in these comments?
  • @user-Qjackcity
    It’s funny to compare LeBron to Jordan. 1. LeBron is a forward, Jordan is a guard 2. LeBron is a pass first player, Jordan is a shoot first player 3. If LeBron had a shoot first mentality he could’ve won MVP at least 8 times
  • @keanuwade8357
    Welp 15 HoF players who played against MJ said he would’ve dominated the 90s couple said he’s the goat but set that aside he’s truly a champion a true player and master in the hardwood its gonna be hard to crack brons legacy
  • A lot of spectators say the nobody wants to play with LeBron, that he trades teammates, etc. But the greatest NBA players respect him, respect his dedication to the game, admire how he's been able to consistently be one of the best players for 20+ years. Some of the guys hating on LeBron just sound silly. For ex., Rashad McCants hates on LeBron, but LeBron in one season 2005 - 2006 scored literally 1 pt less than McCants did in his entire 5 year career. Kwame Brown hates on LeBron, and Kwame is the GOAT of NBA busts.
  • @Gk54493
    I’m an MJ guy myself obviously but to me LeBron is the greatest of all time due to being the best all around basketball player ever. He’s unbelievable. I’m with Thomas. If im building a team im taking LeBron. If I need 40-50, im taking MJ.
  • @allthingsUtube
    Unseld reportedly revealed its context, stating that nobody wanted to give Jordan a present because he was never a great teammate. “He said, ‘Michael has been great for many of us in this organization in ways that has raised the value of the franchise, has made us respectable in other ways. And yet, he’s poisoned the locker room,’” Wise once noted.
  • @allthingsUtube
    The said report may not be new to some as The Washington Post columnist Mike Wise once echoed almost the same thing. As per Wise, then Wizards general manager Wes Unseld wanted his players to pay homage to MJ by chipping in for a retirement gift. However, nobody from the team cooperated.
