LeBron james carried an absolutely horrific 2007 Cleveland Cavaliers team to the nba finals
In the modern NBA era (post 1960) only nine NBA top 75 players have won a championship without another top 75 player as a teammate Rick Barry (1975) Bill Walton (1977) Hakeem Olajuwon (1994) Tim Duncan (2005) (2007) Kobe Bryant (2009) (2010) Steph Curry (2015) (2022) LeBron james (2016) Kawhi Leonard (2019) Giannis Antetokounmpo (2021) As you can see, LeBron James is on the list and Michael Jordan isnt
Lebron james has won 17 playoff series, without an nba top 75 teammate. Michael Jordan won ZERO
LeBron james has won 10 conference championships Michael Jordan won 6……Only Bill Russell and Sam Jones have more conference championships (In a mostly nine team league) than LeBron James
In the year before Michael Jordan and LeBron James joined their team and the year after they left their team, their records were 83-84 bulls 27-55 84-85 bulls. 38-44 92-93 bulls 57-25 93-94 bulls 55-27 98-99 bulls 13-37 without Scottie Pippen 00-01 wizards 19-63 01-02 wizards. 37-45 02-03 wizards 37-45 03-04 wizards 25-57
As you can see When LeBron James joins a team, the team improves more than Michael Jordan and when LeBron James leaves a team, the team always goes into the tank.
Michael Jordan, excluding the 94-97 seasons, when the NBA moved the three point line to 22 feet, was a career 28% three point shooter. LeBron James is a career 34% three point shooter
Michael Jordan was a great defensive player, in an Era where you could handcheck. Playing defense is much easier when you can handcheck. For nearly 6'9 250 LeBron James' entire career he wasn't afforded the opportunity to handcheck.
THE EVIDENCE IS CLEAR..LEBRON JAMES IS THE GOAT!!!!!
I have added a Postscript So many have replied, that LeBron james didn't make the playoffs his first two years and Jordan did. What they fail to say is, in 1985, 16 of 23 teams made the playoffs. In 2004, 16 of 29 teams made the playoffs. It was MUCH EASIER Making the playoffs in 1985. Perfect example is the 1985 86 bulls went 30-52 and made the playoffs and the 2004 05 cavaliers went 42-40 and did not make the playoffs. Also, I don't know, possibly, maybe, Jordan had a HUGE ADVANTAGE considering he played three years of college basketball and LeBron James was 19 years old, and straight out of high school
Love lebron James seen his career from the start at Sacramento man he still great and playing blows my mind I’m a grown man now wow time flies, ima be bummed out wen he retire like I was when Reggie Miller left, I love NBA, grew to love & appreciate all hoopers no more favorites just like the game
He’s the only player to have 2 peaks from 2012-2014 and 2016-2018. His peak is as good as anyone’s ever, but his length of prime is too long to not be the goat.

Thinking basketball on the nba channel is amazing.
Unbelievable
🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
good
Lebron will always be the 🐐 🐐 🔥 🔥
congrats on getting the call from the nba Thinking Basketball!
Thinking basketball has the best basketball analysis on the planet, bro knows his shit
Hell of a treat.🧡
so thinking basketball got acquired by nba or something? no more videos from their own channel?
Love lebron James seen his career from the start at Sacramento man he still great and playing blows my mind I’m a grown man now wow time flies, ima be bummed out wen he retire like I was when Reggie Miller left, I love NBA, grew to love & appreciate all hoopers no more favorites just like the game
more ben taylor please.
Lechokeeee jamies 😂 0 4 vs nuggets
i love thinking basketballs content 10/10
Bron had 56pts against GSW 21-22 season
Love these breakdowns….cant wait for the analysis of the upcoming season with all the new duos
Lebron Si A Sido Uno de Los Mejores!-(Pero No El Mejor?_El Mejor Tiene Nombre y Apellido y No Es Otro que Michael Jordan!.)
We won't miss him when he retires. Rip Kobe. 💯
Thinking basketball just got paid
Lebron's longevity makes him more of the GOAT.
Being elite for 2 decades is crazy.
PED
He’s by far the goat
He’s the only player to have 2 peaks from 2012-2014 and 2016-2018. His peak is as good as anyone’s ever, but his length of prime is too long to not be the goat.
Thinking basketball on the nba channel?? Cant think of any creator more deserving, best basketball analysis on the platform
Bruh.. I think he should retire… its all down hill starting this year.
