100% correct

While I think MJ is still the goat, we do lie or conveniently forget his short comings while we highlight lebron's flaws and try to discredit him

Nick is right about 1 thing. People in general always bring up LeBron failures & omit mj's.

0:45 her reaction is every Jordan fanboys reaction when you bring up the rest of his career besides when he won rings 😂😂😂😂😂

Nick Wright vs Skip Bayless same network lets go

People Still Hold That 07 Finals lost against him? They Had No chance... 2011 however there is no defence

They burnt the tapes 😂😂

My man spitting fax lol the NBA burnt the tapes 😂😂

If Nick sits across the table from Skip then skip will retire!!

I need Nick Wright and Skip Bayless to debate this once and for all once LeBron retires. Because they both have very compelling arguments.

Don't let this distract you from the fact that Lightning McQueen blew a 2 lap lead in the Piston Cup🏆

They always mention the playoffs he won but never the ones they didnt even make🤔🤔🤔🤔

All Nick does it speak facts. Everything Jordan did is looked at in the most positive light possible. Everything LeBron does is micro-analyzed and dissected and criticized to make look worse. Like it or not at the same age, he has done more, significantly more than Jordan. Not saying he can for sure pass Jordan but he will go down too 3 conservatively probably top 2. Only time will tell though

Everybody brings up Michael Jordan's first round exits but they never acknowledge that he was facing Larry bird and the Celtics and Lebron was facing the Washington wizards led by Gilbert arenas

He spit a lot of facts about MJ . His legacy not spotless like everybody make it out to be

Good argument but can we all just agree that they’re both all time greats. Jordan was the best in the 90s and LeBron was the best in the 2010s

Jordan #1 , lebron #2 ... no dispute, if bron beats the Warriors this year and wins finals mvp, there is a compelling argument that they are equals. #nuffsaid , let's move on from this topic

Nick wright the 🐐

Nick looks like he’s about to give a very emotional speech in the thumbnail

I couldn't have said it better myself the haters are never consistent

People tend to remember guy's accomplishments years after they retire, not their shortcomings. I think in 20 years we're gonna look at the careers of guys like Lebron and Kobe a lot more favorably than we do now and recognize how great they were.

This is true just like we lie about what Joe Montana did and didn't do. He had 3 straight first round exits in the prime of his career, but we all overlook that and say he's 4-0 in superbowls

MJ 1-9 in playoff series without SaveMe Pippen

" The NBA burned🔥🔥🔥the 📼📼📼." Get'em Nick 💪💪😅

"Jordan has 3 first round exits and Lebron has none!!!" MJ lost to the 59 win Bucks his rookie year when they had Defensive Player of the year guard Sidney Moncrief, and then lost to Bird's dynasty Celtics the following 2 seasons. Lebron didnt even make the playoffs until 2006 and when he did, he hit the lottery by getting a laughably weak Wizards team in the first round with no good defenders. "When MJ left the Bulls, they went from 57 wins to 55!!!" What Nick failed to mention is the fact that the Bulls overhauled their entire roster when MJ left to play baseball and brought in 40ppg worth of scoring to replace him. Year 2 of MJ in baseball, the Bulls were 34-31 before MJ came back and when he did, they finished the season 12-3. And we all know what happened the following year. 72-10, all time greatest team. 55 wins to 72 is pretty impactful if you ask me. It's amazing what adding a little context can do to someone's argument, huh Nick?

I wanted to comment first but I'll pass

I know Jordan mad af nick just exposed him like that😂

I still have MJ as #1, but Nick is right about how this discussion goes. Also, the idea the Bulls would have won 8 straight is beyond ludicrous. If you want to say they'd have made different moves while he was away if he had been there, that's fine. But then they wouldn't have been in position to make the moves (like bringing in Rodman) that they made when he returned. You can't have it both ways. If you think they would have built the team to win in '94 an '95, you have to accept that would have had significant consequences for their ability to rebuild the team for '96-'98. Not to mention, both 3peats burnt the team out by themselves, but they were going to keep it going for 8 straight years? Please.

MJ is the greatest shooting guard ever and Lebron is the greatest small forward ever. U cant really compare them because their styles are different. MJ is a deadlier offensive player and Lebron is a better all around player. To say MJ is better, u have to be specific. He is better in what way? U just cant say he's better than Lebron when Lebron is a better rebounder and passer, and a more versatile defender also. Lebron can guard D-Rose and then in another series bang in the paint with big David West and Hibbert and snatch 17 rebounds against that front court.

Do you think Nick Wright is right about Michael Jordan?

When Jordan left the bulls that’s when Pippen went into his prime

thank you somebody fianally said it about jordan thank you thank you for the love of god yes hes right colin

he literally has the best argument for lebron haters

everytime people point flaws in jordan, you can point 2 flaws in lebron. For instance, Lebron couldn't beat the celtics till pierce kd and allen were around 34.

Exactly shaq & penny were giving them buckets in 95 🔥🏀🔥🏀🔥💪

To those of you who are saying that the Bulls swept the Magic in the ECF the following year are discrediting the fact that the Bulls acquired Ron Harper, a tall point guard and elite defender to help MJ and Scottie guard Penny and also acquired Dennis Rodman to help out with guarding Shaq.

i hate how everyone treats jordan like he's a God or something untouchable... Kobe was just as good as MJ in parts of his career lebron is on the road of the greatest basketball player ever.

Lebron could average a triple double for the rest of his career and win ten rings, people will still have reason why MJ is the best in their eyes.

LeBron is the Brady of the NBA. No matter what they do to prove themselves as the GOAT'S, fans will still say Montana and Jordan are better because of their perfect records in championships

My boy had the best thing to say about Jordan’s career. It’s like cake mix, you don’t gotta add nothing to it to make it better. When people try to change the narrative of his story it actually hurts his story.

where is the rest of this

finally a media guy said what I've been saying for years. It's not Jordan hate to point these things out, it's being more complete in his narrative and more objective

Why people always brought those two comments : 1) MJ would have won 8 rings in a row? Chicago Bulls lost Horace Grant to the Orlando Magic. Who Chicago had in 1995 to stop Shaquille O'Neal & Horace Grant? Nobody. And Jordan committed two clutch turnovers in the elimination game in 1995 versus Orlando. Once again, Jerry Reinsdorf signed Rodman in 1996. They beat Orlando. No Rodman's rebounding or defensive anchor, no ring. 2) MJ never missed the playoffs. LeBron James wasn't on the race his first two years... Chicago Bulls made the playoffs with those records : * 38-44 in 1985; * 30-52 in 1986. The East wasn't as stacked as people want you to believe.

I remember when Jordan came into the league. The knock against him was he couldn't get by Bird, which was absolutely right. Jordan benefited from league expansion that put 6 New teams in the league in the1990s. Good, but no Wilt,Magic, Dr. J, or several others I would put in front of him.

I want to respect women when they talk sports but they make it so hard sometimes.

ignorant Jordan fans will say Nick riding Bron. Great argument

Chamberlain is best basketball player ever........ Do your research

Fact fact fact! Love it. Most TV analysts nowadays are so biased, it’s disgusting.

Most easily triggered fans: Jordan's and Lebron's

I will give Lebron this, he's made an impact of a similar scale to MJ and I am pretty sure it was hard for anyone to think that anyone could match that once Jordan had his 2nd retirement. I was definitely not happy to see Curry win unanimous MVP because I think everyone can agree with me that Lebron could literally go to any team in the NBA and not only get that team immediately to the playoffs, but at least a Conference Finals playoff appearance as well over Curry. In other words, Lebron is more an MVP than Curry because (1) If Lebron got hurt, the Cavs would clearly be more hurt by his injury than if the Warriors lost Curry, (2) Lebron can literally play every position in basketball at an All-Star level (granted Curry's size prevents him from doing that), and (3) Lebron has dealt with higher expectations than anyone else in the NBA because he had all eyes on him from Day 1 in the NBA and it's safe to say he's lived up to those high expectations. In summary, I don't think Lebron will ever surpass Jordan, but I do think Lebron will make the most compelling argument for that than anyone else in NBA history once his career is said and done.

Out of all the teams jordan faced while winning championships, the only team he faced that was good was the Orlando Magic led by Shaq and Penny Hardaway and he lost. Imagine what the San Antonio Spurs led by coach Pop and the warriors would have done to him.

Wow this is fax

Get this man on First Take please

Dont agree with lebron ever being better. But agree with the exaggeration that we have of MJ

Russell, Wilt & Kareem hold the records for basketball. MJ holds the record for shoe brand.

I think many people just worship Jordan because he is the best marketed athlete ever. Indoctrination is a powerful thing.

100% correct. Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time, and probably will be even when Lebron retires. But they hype him up way too much to be greater than he actually is. He's the greatest player, but he is not perfect

1) MJ had a better team than LBJ ever did. In fact, MJ had a better team than any other player not named Magic or Bird. Scottie Pippen was a better playmaker and the greatest perimeter defender in NBA history. Horace Grant was an elite defender. MJ's team had the best team in NBA for many years and he beat terrible Finals opposition. Dennis Rodman is the greatest rebounder in NBA history and also an elite defender. So MJ had the greatest rebounder on his team and two of the greatest defenders in NBA history and he beat: Weak Lakers team that was way past their prime. Definitely not showtime Lakers. Weak Sonics team.. C'mon, Shawn Kemp and GP? Great Jazz team but they clearly weren't better than the Bulls. Good Phoenix Suns team but all they had was Charles Barkley. None were all-time legendary teams. When you talk about the greatest teams in NBA history, none of those Finals teams match up. LeBron faced two-all time great NBA teams. Jordan faced zero opposition -- which is why his Finals record is so great. 2) Some guy mentioned that the Bulls overhauled their roster.. What does that have to do with ANYTHING? Every team would do the same if their best player left.. the fact is, Bulls replicated nearly the same amount of wins by replacing Jordan with scorers. By that logic, you're telling me Jordan is replaceable? Because last I checked, Cleveland and Miami tried replacing LeBron and how did that turn out? Cleveland went from the best league record to the 2nd worst and lost the most amount of games in the four seasons LeBron left. Miami went from the best team in the East by far, to a team that hasn't made the playoffs since and now, looks like a lottery team. 3) LeBron has achieved more by age 32 than Jordan has. He will surpass Jordan in every statistical category and we all know LeBron deserved just as many MVP's as Jordan did. As for rings, time will tell but Jordan never had to deal with a Warriors squad that will be wrecking havoc for years to come. That's why if LeBron wins one or two more rings, I would say he has equaled or surpassed Jordan. Btw, LeBron has an opportunity to become the greatest scorer in points in NBA history. This is from someone who has NEVER made scoring a priority but only because he had to become a scorer due to his teams not having the capacity to do so. 4) Why is it people forget that MJ went seven seasons and only won one playoff game but we call him the undisputed GOAT because he somehow began winning when his teammates became better? The fallacy of Jordan's greatness is overstated. He was a loser before Pippen came and that's the fact. NBA had to propel Jordan's legacy because large corporations were involved such as Gatorade and Nike. NBA had a brand to protect and that brand was Jordan. 5) Stop arguing about how tough defense was back then. No, not every game ended in a fight and there were MORE foul calls back then than there is now. Go look it up if you don't believe it. Not to mention that although they did foul harder, that didn't mean the defense was better. The game today is more sophisticated than ever because the floor is spaced much farther and thus, defense and offense involve more schemes and plays. Don't forget that zone defense has made it more difficult for NBA superstars to score and attack the paint. Jordan benefited from the 1v1 coverage that prevented defenders from leaving their man on defense. The help always came too late because they were NOT allowed to prey on a single player. Nowadays, you can leave your man wide open and triple team a player from any point of the game. I'm not debating that MJ isn't the GOAT. He is. But to say no other player can surpass him is laughable. LeBron James is the second greatest player today and has the greatest opportunity to surpass Jordan. KAJ was great but won one ring until Magic came along. He never carried a team the way LeBron had to. Magic was great but he relied on KAJ and his amazing stacked team as well. Which is why since KAJ retired, Magic never won another ring. Much of his game relied on KAJ's presence. Bird was great but he also had terrible playoff performances -- which is why he wasn't the Finals MVP for one of those Finals. He had playoff seasons where if social media was alive and well back then, then Bird would be labeled a choker. People kept saying Bird is clutch but only because of a few shots. Wanna take a look at his overall playoff record? It wasn't impressive. Plus, he had a short career. Kobe? Sorry, but he wasn't the best player on his team for three of those rings and I find it difficult to believe that no other superstar of that time (AI, Vince Carter, T-Mac) wouldn't have won with Shaq. The point is, LeBron James is coming for the GOAT and you best believe, another ring will solidify his place as an All-Time NBA GOAT #1.

MJ stans Dont like to hear the facts nick was cookin 💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thank you Nick

When LBJ career Is done he will be goat Enjoy the next 5-7 years Jordan fans

I love how he says Jordan beat the Pistons when they got old. When did Lebron beat the Celtics? When KG, Allen, and Pierce got old as well.

Spot on!!

He said it all! Jordan is great but it's no longer his court! If you don't Know to show love you will not at any back!

PREACH!!!

Nick Wright is totally wrong. Jordan dominated. This is not a debate.

Good point..

Completely agree, nobody ever talks about anything negative when it comes to Jordan.... but so quick to name everything negative about Lebron !

Facts

Straight FAX.

her face a tha end lmao

he talks about how lebron left the heat , but consider bosh was sick and wade was injured...there you go brotha u lied

I agree with him 100%....how can u argue facts

jordan played a better generation than bron..they weren't as athletic but bb iq and team ball was better.everyone is about a brand and their stats

Jordan never flopped, never left a game for cramps, never lost in the finals, he won a 3 peat with one all star and another one with two all stars, didn't lost two finals playing alongside Ray Allen, D Wade and Chris bosh, Jordan lost the playoffs playing with bad teammates (some of them drug addicts) against some of the best teams ever (Celtics, Piston) while having outstanding performances before getting any help, and finally Jordan played hardcore defense while LeBron doesn't play defense at all. Oh yeah but LeBron is the goat, all hail the King of all time basketball.

Woah! This is the herd 3 years ago 😂

I wanted to hear kristine had to say

It's sad to see a show only promoting one player and dissing the rest

I think Nick is fried in the thumbnail 🤣🤣

Jordan 1-9 In playoffs with out pippen So for all the people that say Pippen only won because of Jordan Well ?

Nick Wright is top dog for calling out what we ALL know about these Jordan sycophants.

There are so many lies about Jordan

I Love Nick Wright!!!

When are they gonna talk about each conference in which they played in?

Lebron can't pass Jordan fam let it go

Comparing Jordan's conference in the East in the 80's and 90's to the East of the modern product lmao

Man watching this right now is gold lol

Nick Wright was way ahead of his time

FACTS .... respect....

Preach Nick Preach! These MJ fanboys think Jordan parted the Red Sea lol. *Watch our videos and Subscribe to our channel...Thanks!*

Back here in 2024 and it’s finally coming out

This is an extremely unique look on things

I dnt remember Jordan leaving the bulls because he couldn't get out of the east & I dnt remember Jordan losing in his "prime" ..........

I think Lebron will win 2 more at most. Hopefully he gets another MVP. 5 mvp and 5 championships will put him up there. Especially knowing his numbers are better than Jordan's

All facts. Just let both be great.

MJ had a perfect team!!.. People don't want to embrace that fact. MJ would not be winning in Lebron's place because he did not do it in his own career in similar circumstance..MJ won when he had a GREAT TEAM!!!

I hate these debates Nobody better Every player is great in his own era

my bae kristine back

Nick is also wrong on the greatest 5-year run in basketball history. Magic between 84 and 88 (1 MVP, 3 titles, 5 finals, 1 finals MVP) Moses between 79 and 83 (3 MVP, 1 title, 2 finals, 1 finals MVP) Jordan between 89 and 93 (2 MVP, 3 titles, 3 finals, 3 finals MVP) Shaq between 99 and 03 (1 MVP, 3 titles, 3 finals, 3 finals MVP) Also, Kobe between 06 and 2010 (1 MVP, 2 titles, 3 finals, 2 finals MVP)
