Michael jordan made NBA popular for the rest of the world, the most entertaining player ever, his hype, his hunger to win is unmatched.

[yueocampo]

The shoe is iconic because of who wore it... JORDAN

[johnhancock]

C'mon man, real basketball fans and actual basketball people know mj is the goat. No debate

[geekillustratordad]

It’s not a Debate, MJ is the Goat. Bron can never take it over.

[duranuptown]

Jordan transformed the style and substance of basketball, expanding the scope and meaning of athletic achievement. We still see his influence in ways big and small

[erwinsantiago-hzju]

MJ is the most efficient NBA player and pure talent no acting( flopping) that's why he is the GOAT

[MrCarlosMorales]

Jordan did more in a shorter amount of time

[dorianmcclure]

Eye test of their games says it’s not even close. MJ is the better player. He’s accomplished more in far less time - the difference in awards is a HOF career for someone else in 6 less seasons. Not taking anything away from Bron’s physical longevity but the eyes says it’s MJ - EASY.

"Could anyone make us feel the way MJ made us feel? "
Answer: NO.

[respectbegetsrespect]

This debate again! 🙄 Nonetheless, MJ will always be considered the GOAT regardless of anyone breaking his records and other records. MJ single handedly took the NBA to another level during a time when there was racial tension, lack of innovation and technology to help players and the League advance. Of course players like Bird, Magic, Bill etc... experienced these challenges too but MJ stood out and paved the way for these players today. He has a certain aura that separates him from all others. Along with all this, his stats speaks for itself.

[soleilgs]

I genuinely find it funny that there’s even a debate. Lebron isn’t close to MJ

[vavanpina]

Their is no debate MJ is the 🐐 LBJ is the 🐐 of longevity...

[timothywoodson]

Everyone wanted to be like Mike. The hang time, the incredible lay up’s, the dunks over everyone, his fade away, the passing, the defense, the will to win. There definitely will never be another Jordan.

[baldbull]

Lebron’s stats are amazing because of his longevity… but you ask who was the best… there’s no question. I’ve seen Lebron quit. I’ve seen his limit. I truely don’t think we saw Jordan’s. He just rose to whatever level he needed to be. We don’t even know if he could get better…. It was never required. The more you tried to break him the better he got. Lebron never had a will like Jordan. He is an amazing competitor but Jordan was a killer.

[feddi]

I’m 35 but started watching basketball young, I’m so glad I got to see the last few years of mike In real time, I respect lebron but Jordan the goat.

[ContexClues]

Lebron has superior longevity but his prime is not as good as MJ. In less time MJ has accomplished more. MJ still has 2 more rings, 2 FMVp, 1 DPOY, 1MVP, 3 steals leaders, 3 all defensive 1st teams and 9 scoring titles. This is literally a hof resume. Also the idea that Mj played no finals competition is such a bad take. He played 4 60+ win teams and they were better offensively than his team. For example in the playoffs, the 1996 sonics had 5 guys in double figures (20.7 ppg, 20.9 ppg, 16 ppg, 12.3 ppg, 12.3ppg) vs the bulls 3 guys (30.7ppg, 16.9 ppg, 10.8ppg). Jordan had 5 of the top 10 worse offensive supporting casts for teams that won a championship. This is a fact you can look up.

[chirelius]

I have followed LBJ’s career very closely since 2003 and have absolutely loved it. If I want to win a game, top pick will always be prime MJ for me but what LBJ is still doing at 38 is just as unreal as MJ threepeating and retiring twice. I hope future greatness doesn’t erase past greatness. If LBJ is your pick, and you haven’t seen MJ play, please go and watch as much MJ games/tapes as you can. MJ is my pick but both of there GOATS are head and shoulders above the rest ✨🏀✨🏀✨

[TheRaidernation]

There is a whole HOF player’s resume that separates Mj from Bron. 2 time champ 2x finals MVP, 1 league MVP, 1 DOP 9x scoring champ 3x defense team 3x steals champ it’s not a debate

[mykal.]

No one is taking anything away from James for what he's done, but Jordan was just simply different. This was never a debate...People not having Kobe in this debate is ridiculous. He was the closest thing to Jordan .
