Stephen A gave a brief NBA history lesson without even trying.

[B]

Stephen A. Was saying shit I had forgotten about. Straight facts

[kurtissmith]

Stephen is truly a talented TV personality. His delivery keeps you intrigued and entertained 🔥.

[chriskuhn]

When Bird got to Boston he turned a 29-53 team into a 61-21 team and it went on for years with him them like that.

[adnanojd]

Stephen A. “I literally don’t understand what the hell you just said” And the rest of the cast “ We don’t understand what you just said either” 😂😂😂

[kendallsanders]

To hear Stephen A being able to speak freely like this is like a breath of fresh air for some reason

[antonyware]

I will say this, that was the most thorough explanation I’ve ever heard of why Jordan is the best, and I 1000% agree Stephen!

[LMont-bvmu]

I was born and raised in Chicago. The Chicago Bulls drafted Michael Jordan a week before my 8th grade graduation. It was the best graduation gift ever.

[relientkenny]

love seeing someone put Joe in their place with FACTS😂😂😂

[bry]

Stephen A got me rollin he said” I genuinely don’t understand what the hell you just said” 🤣🤣

[claytonbraswell]

I love when Stephen A is spitting facts and making people in the background laughing and clapping. Always a pleasure

[MrDavisSaysHELLYEAH]

Talking with Stephen A about basketball history is so cool to hear

[GeneralZod]

u can hate stephen A or love him but honestly what he said was in accordance with the facts and it was proven that he knew everything about the basketball era... PERIOD!

[blackninjakev]

In Tom Brady’s quote(I’m not chasing Joe Montana or Lebron im chasing Jordan) let that sink in 😂😂😂

[aaalex.]

Best breakdown of the Jordan Vs. LeBron debate I’ve ever heard

[greenmantis]

Just an example... I was top Portland Blazer fan in 90s. Drexler had a higher percentage rating in three pointers made per attempt. He thought that would be an advantage. In the finals, Jordan came out and made like 5 in a row to start the game just to squash that idea. He did what ever he wanted. If he played against Steph curry, he probably would have made 10 in a row just to demoralize Steph the way he did Drexler.

[kyleferguson]

This is a masterpiece of pure basketball knowledge by Stephen A … the logic is undeniable.

[chillwillfromtheville]

Stephen A really LIVES this shit!!! The basketball knowledge especially remembering everybody’s name is absolutely jaw-dropping.

AFTER Lebrons 20TH season. Michael Jordan STILL has:

•2 more rings
•2 more final mvps
•1 more DPOY
•1 more season MVP
•9 more scoring titles
•3 more steals leader
•3 more all defensive team selections
•4000 more points / bron moved past him in playoff points, but it took him longer lol.
•800 more steals
•Beat 20 50+ win teams in the playoffs (Lebron only defeated 10)

•Jordan never averaged less than 40% Field Goal in the finals
Lebron did it twice
•6/6 (never allowed a game 7)
•Lebron had much more help
•Jordan never had a teammate averaged more than 22 points in the finals..
Kyrie averaged over 28 and DWade averaged more than 26 and Kevin Love averaged 28

•MJ never ever had a finals meltdown like Lebron in 2011 against the Mavs
•MJ had more points in the playoffs in less games..

All of this accomplished in 13 seasons
Lebron is in his 20TH season still chasing the "ghost that played in Chicago"

•Michael Jordan in the playoffs has put up atleast 40ppg, 5rpg, 5apg in 6 different playoff series. Along with an average of about 55% shooting, 3spg and 2bpg.
(86 vs bos, 89 vs cavs, 90 vs philly, 92 vs Miami, 93 vs Phoenix, 88 vs cavs) Jordan won every one of those matchups except for the 1986 matchup vs the celtics.

•Jordan in 88-89 averaged 32ppg, 8apg, 8rpg, 3spg off 54% shooting. LeBron has never even came close to this stat line.
•in 87 thru 92, MJ averaged 5 straight seasons of atleast 51% FG shooting. LeBron has never done this.
•the lowest FT% MJ ever shot in a season was 78%. Lebrons highest in a season ever is 78%.
•MJ has a higher playoff FG% of 48.7% to Lebrons 48.3%

•MJ has a higher playoff player efficiency rating of 28.6 to Lebrons 27.3.
•MJ shoots a higher playoff 3 point percentage of 33.2% to Lebrons 32.9%

•MJ also shocked the league by being the first (and only) player to have 100 blocks and 200 steals in the same season, then turned around and did it again the next year..

Seriously this list can keep going. This isn't even a debate. Mj is the GOAT.

Michael in only ELEVEN complete seasons with the Bulls:

-10 STRAIGHT scoring titles,
-Won Defensive Player of the Year,
-9 times all defensive team,
-9time All NBA,
-5 league MVPs
-6 finals MVPs

LBJ missed the playoffs completely in his first 2 years. Jordan didnt with scrubs on his squad. Jordan played 82 games 9 times in his career once at 40. LBJ only played 82 games once.

In 89 Jordan won the scoring title all star MVP slam dunk title regular season MVP and Defensive Player of The year something LBJ has never done.

Jordan also averaged 41 pts a game for an entire Finals shooting 50% and won.

Something else LBJ never did.
All 11 seasons. Mj has done in 11 seasons things Lebron hasn’t done and won’t do in his whole career...

Check Mate.
