Phil Jackson makes a very valid point in the GOAT debate between Michael Jordan and LeBron James. 🔥 ''You can’t take anything away from either player. They’re absolutely terrific players. You can only turn to the fact that Michael went to the final six times and won six championships....

Olden Polynice says LeBron winning a championship with a 4th team still won't change anyone's mind in the GOAT debate. Jay Wagers : “So LeBron, if he wins a championship in Philadelphia, that's four teams, four championships.” “First player ever that has... no one's ever done that.” Byron Scott : “No one's ever done that.” Jay Wagers : “Could somebody... what you guys are saying, the dynamics of the NBA have changed over the years and players have the power and the control now.” “Can someone still be the GOAT in that position? The greatest of all time, or move forward in the future?” “Are we talking about LeBron or just in general” Byron Scott : “or any young player coming up?” Jay Wagers : “I think just in general.” Olden Polynice : “No one's doing what he's done. So let's get that out of the way.” “And the whole GOAT thing... you guys know how I feel about that, okay?” “It's about respecting everybody without diminishing others, in my personal opinion.” “He wins a championship, he's elevated a little bit more in the conversation, but it's not going to change people's minds.” “The Jordan fans are going to love Jordan, the Kobe fans are going to love Kobe, and his fans... you can't get them to freaking agree if the sky is blue or not. So it doesn't matter.” Jay Wagers : “If LeBron wins one in Philly in four teams, is that going to change anybody's mind?” Olden Polynice : “No.” Byron Scott : “All it's going to do, I think it's just going to... he's going to get more people that'll say he's the GOAT.” “You know, but it's still going to be a debate, and it's still subjective.” Olden Polynice : “It enhances LeBron fans' argument. That's all it will do.” Byron Scott : “Right, it puts him closer to an MJ as far as, you know, the way people are going to look at it.” “But still, you know, the one thing that's going to always kind of set them apart as far as I'm concerned, you know, MJ got six, and he did it on six occasions.” “He went to the Finals six times, never lost.”

Former NBA player Al Harrington, a forward who played for the Indiana Pacers (IND), New York Knicks (NYK), and other teams from the late 1990s through the 2010s, and who faced both Michael Jordan and LeBron James during his career, explained the real reason why Jordan—not LeBron—is the true GOAT 🔥 But I’m going to tell you the difference between Michael Jordan era and LeBron era. Michael Jordan came up in the era where everybody hated each other. They did not cool with each other. It was no homeboys in the off season. It was no “let’s go to the clubs in the summer and go holler at some chick.” It was none of that. They lived in their own bubbles and when they played it was war. Ask Larry Bird what he think about Michael Jordan, bro. Ask any of these stars about what they think about LeBron. That’s what? That’s a homie. OH, REALLY? YEAH, WHY? MICHAEL JORDAN was probably the most… First off, he was… he was probably the… out of out of professional sports, he was here where everybody else was here. Michael Jordan was revered as a machine. Was he more criticized than LeBron? HE WAS SELFISH. HE DIDN’T TRUST ANYBODY ELSE. SEE, HE STILL WON. EVERYBODY SAID HE COULDN’T DO IT. HE CAME OUT AND HE WON. AND HE DID YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. AND YOU WAS LIKE, “YOU KNOW WHAT? I’M ROLLING with this kid here.” And you saw how hard he wanted it. You saw how hard he was going. And this WAS MAGIC AND BIRD STILL IN THE LEAGUE. YEAH. MAN, come on, man. — Source: (I AM ATHLETE Season 3 Episode 13) All of us NBA fans 100% agree with Al Harrington's opinion.🙏

He's as good as Michael Jordan on any given day. I said to Bryant yesterday,, 'it's almost like Larry Holmes and Muhammad Ali.' He looked at me and said, 'I'm not Larry Holmes.' And he is 100% right. It is two Muhammad Ali's when you talk about Jordan and Bryant." Grant Taylor (B/R 2011): "Players that come to mind are Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan.
