    Props to Steve for admitting that Lebron is the best in the game (at the moment) and not sucking up to his own players (Steph and KD).
  • @alexlee7129
    real people recognize true greatness fake people complains greatness
  • You got actual NBA players and people who have played with MJ recognizing Lebron as one of the GOAT's, but then you got casual NBA fans and TV personalities like Stephen A., Skip Bayless, And Rob Parker saying he's not even close.
  • @akashs.2081
    Les stop comparing LeBron and Jordan, they were both GOATs of their eras, cause basketball was different in both eras so u can't compare really
  • @robertoq125
    Steve Kerr is a blessed man. Played in the NBA and got 5 rings as a player and 3 as a coach and counting. Played with MJ with the Bulls and David Robinson with the Spurs. He was coached by the 2 bests in the League in Phil Jackson and Mike Popovich. He also made the last shot for the Bulls in the Finals when MJ passed the ball to him. Very humble man and soft spoken. Congratulations to Steve Kerr and the Warriors organization👏👏👏
  • @roselrico7524
    take note of this stephen A. from a true nba player and champion coach...!
  • @lulyoungin4211
    This is someone who played with Jordan and witnessed lebron play fir years
  • @needoc4639
    Can the haters just admit that LeBron played spectacular during this postseason. It is one of the greatest individual performances of All Time.
  • @1kpgc61
    Lets all remember. The bulls won 55 games without Jordan. That Cavs team would be last in the east without Lebron. Still made it to the finals 😂 In other words the Bulls were a GREAT overall TEAM.
  • @blindpew412
    They did do something different these past two years......they got KD
  • @zockey99
    kerr basically saying how the hell did this roster make it to the NBA finals.........for all the non-playoff team in east that want to go to finals just add lebron.............all the playoff teams in east or west wanna win championship? add Lebron.
  • @mrray7169
    Even Steve Kerr recognizes that KD isn't in that conversation lol
  • @PygmaApril
    So, Scottie has stated that LeBron has passed MJ, Kerr said it's either the one or the other with no clear answer, yet people still won't give the man credit.
  • @appmaster4565
    Thank you You Steve Kerr for stating that Andre is the best defender against LeBron and therefore contributing to the fact that this is the greatest super team ever assembled
  • @eddiebowles7903
    60s - Wilt / Russell 70s - Kareem 80s - Bird / Magic 90s - Jordan 00s - Shaq / Duncan 10s - Lebron Those are the GOATs if their eras. Who is better than who all comes down to your criteria it is subjective at the end. Even if one accomplished more in rings and/or awards than another it was with different rules, pace, competition, team support, and MVP voter biases. I think it should be GOTE (greatest of their era) and GOAT is really not fairly provable.
  • @ibnaliabuali
    It's amazing to hear Steve Kerr, ie the leader and orchestrator of the Warriors talk about how much of a threat lebron is just by himself. It's the best testimony/praise anyone could give lebron.
  • @SaithusX
    I don’t think Jordan could beat this team...
  • @Zach-qo7mz
    I’ve met Steve Kerr in Oakland before because he goes to similar restaurants that I do and man I respect him he’s a great person that deserves all the respect
  • @BBallGOAT
    Both players are special. Appreciate greatness from the 🐐s
