I love how a guy that has a career average of 2 points is critiquing the greatest sports player of all time.

Anybody who looks to Perkins for logical basketball discussion is a fool.

As someone who has lost my father I find it absolutely disgusting when these media talking heads say Jordan quit after his father died

LeBron actually quit his team 3 times. Didn’t retire. Actually QUIT

Uncut Hoops, I'm going to contest your claim that 38yo LeBron > 38yo Jordan. If you watch examples of the games they played at that age, you'll see Jordan doing a LOT more on the court that isn't always measured by the stat sheet than LeBron -- hustling back on defense, making intelligent help defense decisions, boxing out for rebounds, fighting for rebounds, constantly moving off-ball, etc. When you watch LeBron he stands around a LOT on offense AND defense, has a habit of being slow to run to the defense side of the court, and despite being a big strong forward he doesn't fight down low for rebounds or box out very much. He leaves AD to do that a lot more, which is cheating his teammates. LeBron's stopped playing a lot of the basketball fundamentals and uses his power with this organization to stat-pad. It's not winning basketball, and it's part of why he was swept last postseason. To my eye test, Jordan was better at this age because of all those untracked fundamentals. Stats can be misleading.

As Chris Broussard once said LeBron locked down a conference, Jordan locked down the entire league.

Quitting was when LBJ jumped ship to Miami when he felt his team wasn’t good enough. He quit again in Miami when he felt that team wasn’t good enough and left. And you guys know the rest of the story. Quitting is when you fail and don’t try again because that fear of failure. Jordan left at the peak.

Infuriates me how analyst lables Jordan a quiter after threepeating , and worse omitting the traumatic passing of his father causing a lot of stress as the main reason for his 1st retirement. Just shows they'll go to any lengths no matter how disgustingly insensitive it is.

memo to Kendrick: winning a regular season game against the Clippers is not the equivalent of a championship, MVP, etc.; also where were you and your “insightful” takes during the Lakers’ eleven-game losing streak to the Clippers?

They Look for anything to put LeBron over. Like comparing a regular season game when in reality we did see MJ do this before. Remember when Wizards MJ scored 50 points against the NJ Nets team that made it to the Finals that same year. The Lakers, Wizards comparison is so dumb. Old Wizards MJ came back from retirement & was playing both sides of the ball while dealing with Injuries with a bunch of young players on his team. While LeBron has been playing 21 seasons straight on Lakers teams with HOF players & dept in the most Water Down Era of NBA while picking & choosing what games to play.

The sad part is Jordan elevated the NBA so players can have what they do, and then this generation of players just want to destroy Jordan’s legacy. Instead of paying respect they want to position themselves as better even if it means disrespecting. It is incredibly pathetic.

Appreciate you for always putting these terrible analysts on blast. They're beyond terrible.

You dont quit when you threepeat . Its called retirement lol😅

Quitting implies some sort of failure.....MJ was 3 peating and was in his physical prime. His performance in the 93 finals in particular was GOD LEVEL. To say he quit in 93 is asinine

Kendrick Perkins is like talking to a 5 year old. Nothing against 5 year olds. You just have to realize he is a child mentally and should speak about him in that way.

Media doing what the media does

The hell with peak Jordan. How about Jordans first 9 years. LeBron doesn't compare

Every time Perkins opens his mouth it makes me respect Paul pierce more because pierce really carried perk trash ass to his only ring

Wizards didn't have an AD caliber player in their roster at that time

Here's a fact I hear nobody talk about when it comes to this debate Micheal Jordan won his last MVP when he was 35. LeBron James hasn't even won an MVP since his age 28 season.

Jordan also sat for 3 years retired and decided to come back about a month or two before the season stated. He was playing himself into shape that season. Lebron has been playing gingerly since he turned 30. He's Been marked as the slowest player in the nba on average due to the amount of walking he does on the court.

When is Perkins NOT embarrassing himself?

LeBron, armed with an entire team of prime All-Stars, got whooped by Carlos Arroyo, Ginobili and Spanoulis. That's how weak LeBron is.

Before ad came to la lebum wasn’t makin the playoffs either the difference is jordan didn’t play with a top 10 player on the wizards

Bro literally had 10 cracks at a chip...10...double digits, n only won 4.. 😂😂 dude won less than 50%, how tf is a goat by any standard? When the other dude went 6-0....😑 not even close. I don't even have Bron above Kareem lol nvm MJ

What's frustrating is there's really no one on tv combating these silly claims like uncut with numbers, statistics and context. They just say it and there's not much pushback and it's taken as truth at face value to these kids who really didn't see Mike get down.

MJ played defense at 38 years old...

Perkins greatest achievement is learning not to breath down the microphone like a stalker😂

IF u consider the RULE 'CHANGES' ... i 'STILL' prefer JORDAN at age 38 than Lebron!

LeBron got swept 3 time's. The nuggets embarrassed the Lakers. All they cared about is lebron selfishly went to 40 points for the last game only thinking of himself. Lebron is a huge failure passing Kareem in scoring and got swept at the same time😂😂😂😂😂. What a bum

He quit twice and still accomplished more then his boy, who's played 20 years 😂😂.

Yeah, MJ quit twice. And yet MJ still has more titles without a finals loss. And MJ played less years as well, and still has more rings. 😮🤣😂

Jordan's father was murdered & we have Sideshow Bobs calling Jordan a quitter. Meanwhile, they'll turn around & say that the media is so much harsher on LeBron & today's athletes. I promise we're living in the upside down. This crap is going to make me resort to watching all games with absolutely no commentary & just ignore Mainstream Sports media. I simply cannot take it any more.

With so few accomplishments, Perk should reassess his career before analyzing anyone else

"So that right there is the end of the video...Once again Kendrick Perkins is a clown...." 😂😂😂💀💀💀💀 That was the perfect ending 🎯

There has ALWAYS been players that were as good or better than LeBron through his career. Early in his career? Kobe, Duncan, Wade, etc. Middle? Steph. Late? Roughly a dozen players. When Jordan played, there was never anyone close, until he was almost 40.

That statement cements MJ because if he quit twice and still couldn't be surpassed, this should tell you everything

3:39 based on what exactly? Imagine MJ at 38 not playing defense for whole possessions in a row; traveling and getting away with it; being a turnover machine; literally standing still in the paint and not contest layups; not being able to play off the ball; a majority of his points being in the paint on uncontested layups; a low percentage midrange shot, throwing teammates under the bus after losses and sweeps. Imagine him creating super teams for a competitive advantage!That MJ would have been a laughing stock for coming back.

If Jordan had played his Wizards years in the social media era, people would've been praising him for those years. Just because people who didn't even see or watch him play during those years go back and trash him doesn't make him any worse than he truly was. Wizard Jordan, just like baseball Jordan, is greatly underrated! Jordan went from 12 years of NBA basketball directly to the minor leagues and still hit over .200. That should be celebrated, not dogged! Put any NBA player in the minors right now and see what happens... I mean, who is making a horrible team into a playoffs team at 38 with no other all-star on his team in this league right now? If anyone was doing this, they would be called great, not washed.

Let's see any player out of the league for two years and then come back and do what Jordan did. If Jordan doesn't retire, he does what LeBron has done, easily.

Keep in mind Jordan retired twice

I dont know how this is still a thing. Mike has no negative stat lines and he did all his winning in less time and with more dominance. James is gonna finish his career with most fg misses, most ft misses, most 3pts misses, most turnovers and most playoff loses. Mike is no where on any of those lists.

Dissing Jordan never ends well for ANYONE just stop it 🤣 Jordan’s old trainer ended it.. who’s shoe does EVERYONE wear … never even met someone who owns or likes Lebron shoes

Today is way easier to score.

It's crazy how some LJ fans will say they'll take 2018 LJ over 91 Jordan

Lebron is an athletic freak, for sure. A great basketball player as well. With that said, no one ever feared Lebron during his career. People FEARED prime MJ for obvious reasons. Jordans ferocious type A personality and his "I'll kill you to win" mentality was never in Lebron's bag. I have all the respect in the world for Lebron. Playing at the level he is at 38 is amazing. If I had my choice between prime MJ or prime Lebron? MJ all day long. I've never heard anyone say "he's the Lebron James of"...

Kendrick Perkins IS A 'COMPLETE' F-O-O-L.

How disrespectful for Perkins to say that Jordan quit. His father just died. But he didn't just die. He was violently murdered. I'm not sure how I would handle that same situation. It had to take an extreme toll on him.

Personally, I don't think we should compare the strength of Jordan and LeBron.

Always hilarious hearing LBJ groupies/klutch media say MJ “quit” only to cover up LBJ for quitting multiple times when he fails. Imagine saying MJ “quit” after winning titles, meanwhile LBJ gets praised for leaving after embarrassing losses lol.

LeBaby James is NOT playing for championships @35 y.o. He is playing to make the playoffs. That's not the same thing. Also, LBJ has a lot of say who is on his team, more so than the head coach. MJ played with whomever they signed a contract with. If you politic and cuck for guys to come play with you, even have a GREAT amount in influence over the overall roster and who the head coach will be and YOU STILL can't even make the NBA Finals... you are NOT the GOAT, not even in the Top 10. I'm just keeping it real. How do you put LBJ ahead of MJ, Wilt, Bird, Kareem, Magic, and maybe even Oscar, just to name a handful of players? Look at his time in Miami and with the Lakers.... wait, How Many Rings?

Still waiting on someone to do what Jordan did at 35 years old being MVP finals MVP and 1st team all defense at 35 years old not even LeBron was able to do that in his EARLY 30s

Jordan was the most competitive professional I have ever seen. 6-0 in finals!

Mike played 82 games at 40

For one, when someone close to you like a parent dies, you do things in their honor. Jordan's dad always wanted him to play baseball, and that's what he did, it's amazing how all these years later, I never thought anyone would ever hold that against him.

37.1 in 86 and didnt win mvp

My Lebron v. Jordan longevity argument: Do your work early, you won't have to stay late. One guy came back for the love of the game and the desire to possibly get ownership of the Wizards, while the other is trying to chase the legacy of someone who retired 20yrs ago.

😂😂 Wizards Jordan was coming off not playing for 3 years.

Let’s not forget also that Jordan was scoring his points on midrange, not clear outs to the basket in a no touch era like Lebron

Do we care about this Perkins kid?

There's a difference between Retiring after a 3peat Leaving your team after losing the finals

Jordan played every game , the teams didnt have much knowledge about nutrition, health and longevity. If hordan played now hed be unstoppable for 20 years

Longevity doesn’t make you better because you play longer than someone else doesn’t mean that you’re better

Also it's not a fair comparison. Scoring average at 38 while playing all the matches on a bad team vs Scoring average at 38 playing only 55 matches on a top team, it's not the same deal !

If MJ played in todays game, his stats would be ASTRONOMICAL!!!!! Way better than Anyone in NBA history!! Back when Jordan played, they played a thing called DEFENSE and it was rough!!! Now, you can’t even hand check a guy without being called for a foul!!! The league is catering to offense…

He didn’t “quit” twice, he retired twice… Not the same thing.

regardless what age LBJ is that finals record can never be broken or changed which is integral to overtake MJ sorry not sorry perk.

Quitting twice immediately after 3-peats and his father being murdered right in the middle of his prime, and they call that quitting. The irony😂😂😂

Born had double overtime and easy access to rim.

People forget jordan hadn't played in 4 years when he joined Wizards.

A bum of the caliber of Kendrick Perkins saying anything negative about a Guy like MJ is Ludacris on everything I love Ong 🤦🏾‍♂️

These LeBlame James co-defenders seem to forget Jordan had to stay in college for three years. If he could have went str8 to the pros out of high school his numbers would be even more crazy

Basketball in the 80’s to 90’s was a more physical game period. Today’s game is softer, less physical. People don’t play defense in today’s game. Big contracts and sit out big nationally televised games!

I wouldn't even say 38 yr old LeBron is better than Wizards Jordan first because of who they both had as teammates at that age . Second and foremost, look at all the years Jordan carried the Bulls on his back. No discredit to Jordan's teammates but if you don't think Jordan's all out effort on offense and defense for all those years didn't deteriorate his body then we must haven't thought of that. 6 straight Championships bro plus the years they didn't win, playing at top peak. In other words if Jordan was a pass first guy as LeBron is supposed to be, Jordan's body probably would've held up extended years beyond the Wizards uniform. But Jordan wasn't a pass first guy, he was a finisher and a takeover guy.

These clowns are keeping Mike’s name on the media for free😂😂

If MJ actually quit, he did it after the job was done. Not in the playoffs, nor in the finals, unlike someone we all know. The funny thing is MJ retired thrice and still accomplished more.

Seriously don't understand why Perkins received a job as a NBA analysis in the first place....

Imagine Jordan if he had the same PEDs that are available to Lebron. He might have been able to come back stronger after his Wizards injury.

Wanna talk about quitting? Leflop straight up walked off the court while game was still going.

I think the big part is the post injury, LeBron would not play post injury until he was 100% which is a huge part of his longevity. Jordan always put the team and fans ahead of himself and his body paid the price, anyone that thinks retirement would have helped hasn't tried to make a comeback at any sporting level at age 38. That in itself is incredible

If I’m a GM I’d trade a 1st round draft pick for a 38yr old MJ who took a 19 win team and had them competing for a 1 seed in the East the very next year until he tore 12 tendons in his knee. Conversely I have no use for 38 yr old Lebron coming in to teach my young players how to pad stats, rest on defense, and gratuitously cry and and complain to referees. I mean, if I’m not the team owner and unconcerned about the tickets and jerseys Lebron will help sell, why in gods name would I want an old man who takes off 1/3 of the regular season games, cherry picking ones that won’t hurt his stats, and when he does play it’s only on one half of the floor, rarely getting back on defense so he can get himself easy buckets on offense bc he knows better than anyone how atrocious his jumper is. Dude only makes 35% of shots outside the restricted area but somehow it’s his teammate who gets labeled “Westbrick”

People tend to leave out MJ also lead the league 3 times in steals, he retured as the 2nd all time but is now 4th but has the highest steels per game average at 2.35. James is at 1.54 steels per game average playing over 300 more game with over 200 less steels.

And Perk quit by winning only one ring- excuse me, he quit after KG, Ray, Rondo and Pierce giving him a ring

Whenever Klutch flunkies use "quit", its reverse psychology. They know LeBum habitually quits when the going gets tough, so they flip it on a weak argument to make it appear Lebron really doesn't do just that..."quit". We've been watching that chump long enough to know he quits the minute he gets on the floor if it doesnt go his way. Diva Extraordinaire.

LbJ is 20 years younger. Today's medicine, sports training, drugs and nutrition are a lot more advanced, so this longevity isn't unheard of. Tom Brady and Cristiano Ronaldo are very dedicated guys who took themselves as long as they could with the help of proper technique. Jordan didn't have that. And that comes from a Pistons fan. LOL.

40 yr old Jordan numbers( after knee injury) were very identical to Bron rookie year numbers. So, if wizard Mike numbers made him garbage.. what does rookie year Bron numbers makes him?

Lebron is out here playing free safety. You have to count both sides of the ball

Perkins just says nonsense at this point

Has any other GOAT player from other sports leagues been consistently torn down and had their careers diminished as much as Jordan? Seems like it’s ESPN’s monthly mission to tear Jordan down to build up Lebron. ESPN glossing over the MURDER!!!…of MJ’s dad is a disgusting tactic in itself.

Also true athletes know that continuously playing a sport, and coming back after a 3 year layoff at that age is WAY different. Still Jordan was cooking pretty good.

What's worse, quitting after you win your organization a title like Jordan or quitting in the middle of a finals game because JR Smith made you mad like LeBron? Myself, I wouldn't expect ANYONE to play a season when they aren't feeling up for it. What I do expect is while you do play, you give maximum effort and that's the difference between LeBron and Jordan. No matter what issues Jordan had with teammates and the organization, he always showed up to play and he always played his best. LeBron is a great player but that dude does NOT always play his best and that's especially true when he has issues with teammates or the organization. I've seen LeBron quit on his team in the middle of a game, I've SEEN LeBron quit in the middle of playoff games, I've never seen that from MJ, even if the Bulls were having a bad game that never happened

Only Lebron and his fans can find fault with someone who takes time off to not only mourn his father who was murdered during the season, but also to pursue his fathers dream of him playing pro baseball. This is the reason he retired the first time. Quitting would be after his father died, he left the bulls mid season, which would have been understandable. Lebron and many of his fans didn’t have a “dad” in their lives so they have zero understanding of this truth. The truth of the matter is, MJ finished the season with MVP in playoffs AND with the championship which completed a threepeat. This is what LeMedia has to resort to to find some way of disparaging MJ. The fact that the league allows them to do this with no pushback speaks volumes as to who is running the show there. Second retirement. How can you fault Jordan for leaving when that louse Krause wanted the breakup his b-ball family? Krause had to be the dumbest front office person ever. Bulls were unbeatable and you have the goat on your team. He refused to pay Scottie what he was worth abd wanted to ax Phil. So he left, but after completing ANOTHER THREEPEAT. How is that quitting? When Lebron quits on his teams in games when they could still win or disappears because the moment was too big for him or when he quits on his friends because they were injured, that’s excused and praised. But MJ legit retiring after accomplishing 2 THREEPEATS is quitting. Why do people continue to listen to Lebrons childish rants through his proxies Perkins, Wright, Paul, Reddick, Cowherd, Arenas, Keyshawn etc? Nothing that they say is real or factual. Are people that dumb today to believe this nonsense?

If labron was going against the Piston bad boys, his career would have been shorter. You watch that era, and dudes are just getting bodied goin' to the hoop.

main difference between the two icons of two different eras. hard work and do any and everything to WIN vs play smart for your own self, not the team because you deserve it. After all, the media and people are bought with and played by money in this soft but very offensive and defensive entitled mindset generation who don't care much about honor, dignity, determination, honesty, loyalty and any thing of that sort. LeQueen is the prime example and representation of the generation and thus adored by both the media and the people. I fking hate that about him and his worshippers. I don't see anything to respect his game, non- creative, just one way freight train standing around for chance to stat pad. Media only complimenting and brainwashing after that skirmish acts and people chant after his highlights but look away from his obvious lowlights. there is nothing respectable left to watch today; the players, the media, the league, and the fans

The ppl are hating on Jordan trying to mislead the youth who never seen Jordan or basketball in the purest form. They have to trash the older style of play to justify the crap they call basketball nowadays

Only thing is add is something that gets consistently overlooked when it comes to MJ playing with the Wizards. Athletes don’t really benefit from sitting out three years, particularly at that age. You can’t recover the conditioning that is lost, and all of a sudden ramping up to play at a professional level has not often proven to be a successful venture. That probably contributed to Mike getting injured, then he still played 82 games the next year.

Quit because his been beating the league. Did not quit because he’s losing. Came back and win three more. Quit twice while he’s winning.

I will never understand how Lebron is even top 10. The more they talk about him being the GOAT, the more I see other people's careers in detail and realize that he isn't that great compared to other legends. He's more of a bull in a China shop. He's not a great 3 point shooter, sucks at free throws, travels and flops like no other, footwork and post moves are limited, defense hasn't been there for most of the time since he left Miami, and absolutely no WOW factor for most of his career. When he peaked at Miami I thought he was going to be a lot more, but outside of beating GS in 2016 he hasn't accomplished much since then. MJ and Wilt will always be my 1 and 2 and that is a very close 1 and 2, then some separation after that. Kendrick and Nick Wright are so off here.

Michael Jordan: 🐐 Kendrick Perkins: 🤡

My goat wasnt getting swept by teams in the playoffs . And then open the season and lose to same team 😂
