Believe it or not, there WAS a time when Jordan and LeBron were on similar career paths. It was their mindsets and decisions that made one a loser and the other the GOAT.

    He’d have joined Detroit in 1990 after his teammates sold him out in game 7 of the conference finals. Instead he stayed the course with Chicago like a true competitor and cemented his legacy as the GOAT.
  • "I will say one thing for Michael Jordan, he never came to me and asked for other players, he never asked me to draft a player, he never came to me and asked to trade for a player, never once did that happen, part of it was that he thought he was so darn good he could win without them" Jerry Krause You can search for that interview

    Jordan = The Last Dance Lebron = The Last Excuse
  • @SoggySlopster
    This is why Kobe is better than Lebron too, Kobe had the same competitive drive as Jordan. Tell lebron to get a 3 peat. Lebron had to switch teams every single time to win a ring
  • @algebra7427
    Imagine if Jordan followed Phil Jackson post bulls break-up, and took his talents to LA, with Kobe and Shaq. Horrific to even think about. Free rings.
  • LeBron had the easiest rings handed to him for 2011 and 2012 and still managed to choke one of them away 😂😂😂
  • @Pseudog831
    There is no need to even make assumptions. This is because Jordan, who took a difficult path, achieved more than LeBron, who took all kinds of shortcuts.😂
  • @bo_g4284
    the unbeatable super team that literally lost 2 finals 😂😂😂
  • @jgrey8959
    After years of frustration with the Cavs, LeBron looked deep within himself, and found...nothing much.
  • @skipdeejay
    Jordan would have more rings than Bill Russell if he swapped teams like Lebron
  • @_Gwuapo
    This is why Jordan is the greatest athlete of all time not just in the NBA. Kobe being compared to him was the greatest compliment any player can receive
  • I tried to imagine what Jordan would be like with LeBron’s mentality… but I just couldn’t picture it… tried Kobe next… laughed even harder at the thought 😂😂😂
  • @jkemp6791
    Anyone who joins a super team because he couldn’t win a championship isn’t the Goat.
  • @cnvdh3514
    And Jordan didnt run to Balco when the going got tough
  • @adidas20zero
    All I know if prime James and prime MJ played one on one James better hope MJ don't get the ball first. LBJ wouldn't have any screens or picks to help him with his slow first steps.
  • @willn8664
    Love that ending. Jokic and the Nuggets is saving the NBA. Honestly the Spurs could have beaten the Heat twice but Ray Allen literally saved the Heat.
  • Man skap attack you are just hammering this era of basketball I love it keep it up
  • @ImportAl
    Jordan's mentality allowed him to take losses and beatings and keep improving. He was a jerk but got the best out of his teammates, and would never buddy up with Celtics, Lakers, Pistons. Blasphemous.
  • @tonydeveyra4611
    Looking back on those early Cavs seasons where Lebron came short, it really makes me think of the years where Jordan got beat by the Celtics and Pistons, or the years where Kobe and Shaq got swept by the Jazz and the Spurs. This is how true greatness is forged. No one (perhaps with the exception of magic) comes out and wins immediately. ALL of the greats had multiple years of failures along the way--that is what made them great! And that's the most frustrating thing to consider in the case of both Lebron and KD. You can see the path of greatness they were on before they went to the dark side and took the cheap and easy way. In an alternate universe where Lebron stays with the Cavs, he probably would have found a way to overcome the celtics and get to the finals on his own again. He might've even won the same number of rings! But he didn't want to leave that to chance, he didn't want to have to reach that next gear on his own. And THAT is the greatest loss from the superteam move: we didn't get to see Lebron and KD blossom into the potential for true greatness everyone all saw in them during the early parts of their careers. Instead, the finals become a foregone conclusion. Cheap and easy rings.
