LeBron is the GOAT. Jordan is the MVP.

I’m going to call out these double standards & outright lies in the comments. Shannon had Kobe as a top 3-5 player before he joined Undisputed and now ESPN. He also did not keep this same energy when Trevor Ariza sat on his podcast for over an hour.
Tim Legler said he never heard anyone in the NBA say such things about Kobe. HELLO, DO YOU NEED YOUR EARS CHECKED? Why are you lying? Pau Gasol, Dirk Nowitzki, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili (Wade was also involved in conversation) were literally just discussing Kobe and his impact during this year’s HOF Induction. You’ve played in or covered the NBA for last 35 years. There’s absolutely no way you never heard it…
Stephen A. claims Kobe can’t be ranked top 5 because he played with Shaq, but proceeded to rank Kareem and Magic in the top 5…Lol excuse me? He also went on a rant because Rich Paul and LeBron thought it was disrespectful to rank him second all-time…Only for him to turn around and call Ariza IGNORANT for his opinion??!! We can see past all your agendas and fake narratives.

I’m confused, he scored 27 straight against Detroit. What you mean scared of the moment…buzzer beater against Orlando and Toronto….these narratives are crazy

Sounds like Stephen A and all MJ fans’ arguments are saying MJ is the best Scorer of all time if that’s what being the goat means.

Scoring titles doesn’t mean anything if you’re the all-time leading scorer, lol. Also, there’s plenty of players who went undefeated in finals. Robert Horry is 7-0, Tom sanders went 8-0, so i think it’s because mj changed basketball and was an inspiration to many, that’s all!

What is hard to understand about these facts ?
1-offense :
Michael Jordan 10 scoring titles. Highest PPG regular seasons,playoffs and finals in NBA history
VS
LeBron James
scorings title 1
This proves Jordan the better offensive player
2- Defensive : Michael Jordan 9x first team all defense (the most in NBA history)
DPOY 🏆 and 3x steal 🏆
Vs
Lebron James 5x first team all defensive
This proves MICHAEL JORDAN is the better defender
3- winning
Michael Jordan 6 championships 2×3 peat trophy 🏆
Vs
Lebron James 4 championship
This proves Jordan is better at winning
MJ
6 championship
6 Finals MVPs
5 MVPs
3 All-Star Game MVPs
1 Defensive Player Of The Year
1 Rookie Of The Year
10 Scoring Titles
3 Steals Titles
2 Slam Dunk Contest Championships
The most accolades in NBA history
This makes Jordan the GOAT 🐐

Media always gets surprise whenever former players pick KOBE over lebron! 😂🤡… players who actually played the game got more credibility than the 🤡

People who would take kobe over lebron alltime are insane. I love kobe. One of the greats…but lebrons accolades and stats are just better and his overall arsenal of ways he could/can demolish you and affect the game during his prime are unmatched.

These folks stay trying to undermine Kobe’s greatness. Lebron bulldozen to the basket @ss doesn’t have the third of the skills Kobe does. The majority of players who have played against both players will tell you that they prefer facing Lebron as oppose to Kobe. Lebron gets celebrated for going to 10 finals while losing 6, where they do that at!? First take it lame for acting as if though Ariza’s opinion is asinine.

1. Jordan 2. Kobe 3. Lebron
That’s my order however, Kobe is my favorite player ever.

To say Kobe is a replica of Jordan is just lazy. He took a lot from his game, something nobody else could do and did a lot of things better (not to say Jordan didn’t do a few things better than Kobe). Also he has eliminated the most 50+ win teams in the playoffs and credit is taken from him since he played with Shaq smh

They need to stop LeBron chase them championship. Kobe was a better player and had better skills. LeBron will still be ringless if he didn’t Chase them championship.Lebron stack his team with the top 5 players just to win the a championship
