Why Larry Bird RATES LeBron James OVER Michael Jordan...

The debate over who is best in basketball history is never-ending. LeBron James and Michael Jordan stand as titans in it as their legacies are etched deep into the NBA history. But who truly claims the throne?
Recently, as LeBron marked his milestone 20th All-Star appearance, this debate ignited again. His performance in Indianapolis was modest by his standards. But, it underscored a career of unmatched longevity and consistency.

The numbers, tell a story of their own. LeBron has won four NBA championships. A testament to his unwavering dominance on the biggest stage. Last year, he ascended to the summit of the league's scoring hierarchy, eclipsing the legendary Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Yet, with these accolades, the shadow of Michael Jordan looms large.

Jordan has a flawless 6-0 record in the NBA Finals. It stands as a monument to his unmatched greatness and it sets a standard that seems impossible to beat. But as the dust settles and the debates rage on, a new voice emerges from the ranks of the old guard. Larry Bird, a legend in his own right, begins to tilt the scales in LeBron's favor. Stick around as we unravel why Larry Bird rates LeBron James over Michael Jordan.

Thanks for your video. I am one who appreciates all of the greats… each of them unique… and yes, LeBron is definitely one of the all-time greats.

I would have had no bad comment to say, but unfortunately, I believe your video thumbnail is inaccurate… pretty much Click Bait.

I’m afraid this video now just adds another negative towards LeBron fans… it shows the desperation of trying to convince the masses.

I believe if your opinion is for a particular player, then stand on it. It’s your opinion. No need to convince or persuade others to affirm your own self.

You cannot see that Bird is promoting the game and not James? WOW.

[SHARKVADERS]

Bird did NOT rate LeBron over anyone. He said that he was great, and that he MIGHT be the best ever.

[HebrewGamer]

Downvoted for clickbait.

Bird never said Lebron was better than Jordan. His comments were acknowledging where he is in his career as being one of the greats and what he could potentially be as the best ever. He won't get to being the GOAT. That whole narrative is a media creation. What Larry Legend is actually saying is to drop the goofy debate and enjoy the game for what it is. Without being the best ever, talent like Lebron doesn't come around often and people should sit back and take it all in.

Bird never really ranked Bron over MJ he is being a great sport he doesn’t get into all that goat talk but he knows who it is

2000s was the best era of Basketball. If the media dubbed a team “The Big Three”, they were expected to win a championship. (Boston Celtics) The West Coast was stacked. Spurs, Kings, Portland, Mavericks oh yeah and the Lakers.

Why are you putting your opinions in Bird’s mouth?

[patriciaperdue]

Not ONCE did Bird say Lebron was better than Michael Jordan, nor did he say Lebron was the greatest. Very misleading headline. What he ACTUALLY said was...Enjoy Lebron while he is here. Bird said that LeBron was one of the greatest, IF...he said "IF"....not the grratest ever. Big IF! Latty Bird is very much for pushing the NBA forward and promoting the league. He has been for years. I can not grasp that he can stand to watch James walk off the court and leave his team when they are losing, as James has several times. Bird NEVER was a quitter! And, neither was Jordan.
These videos are put up just to start a debate...or, to push the narrative of LeBron. 😮

[inefekt]

LeBron played twice as long (22 seasons) as MJ played in Chicago (11 full seasons) yet MJ still won more official NBA accolades (68 vs 66 for LeBron).
I'm sorry, but in no race in human history has the person who accomplished _less_ while taking twice the time to do it been considered the better player. It's just complete insanity.
Stop this idiotic debate, LeBron stans you're just making fools of yourselves. Admit the truth and move on with your lives....I'm sure there are better things to do than worship a stranger who does not know you exist.

[kennethdixon]

He didn't rate Lebron over MJ. I realize you just want the views, but come on man. I knew it was false before I ever looked.

[cubaneopower]

Larry Bird such a gentleman that he is saving Lebron reputation even knowing his generation is way better.

[dozer_sweets]

Dang. Mr. Sports is a lebron glazer trying too hard to make him seem better than what he was. 💀💀 there's plenty of tape proving production goes down playing with him.

[spunterage]

No where did Larry put LeBron over MJ. He only said he was the best in his time and could be the greatest. The rest of your video is you glazing him.

[saggydan]

Jordan was flawless in the finals but got swept out of the first round before Pippen arrived.

[ghaile]

This is clearly trolling, Birds didn't even said even once that LJ is better than MJ. How much for the pay check.🤣🤣🤣

[rodneydeneal]

But Bird never said lebron is the greatest….you did.

[jackstraw]

Lebron made 10 finals and won 4, he was often times the underdog that’s amazing not a knock. Let’s stop using it as one.

There’s a handful of guys who’ve made 10 finals and none of the others have played since the 60s

And almost everyone plays their best with LeBron

And I agree instead of complaining just appreciate his greatness

[swagrat]

Lmfao his 4 rings show his dominance in the biggest stage? 😂😂😂😂😂

[methuselah]

Talk about click bait! 😂 Bird did not say Lebron is better than Bird #GTFOH. #MJisTheGOAT

[joshtheegotist]

Bird picking his fan over his most hated rival. Bird would never give Jordan the pleasure of calling him the greatest post-retirement, but you heard him when he played him LIVE...God. Mic Drop.
