Stephen A went full WWF attitude era on the mic 🎤 👑
1:29 because he is ball hugger hahahaha dumb question
2:13 jordan 76 games lebron 341 games hahahahahaha
the only unbelievable thing about this video is shannon sharpe calling security
Shannon is an idiot
Jordan had 43pts as a 40 yr old on 60% FG efficiency.
Shannon, Jordan shot 50% or better six times during his career. He was efficient bro.
Something your guy could never be 😆 🤣 😂
Lebron is the fake goat 😊
30/10ast games record .. 40pts is a yawn alone
Here's one thing for club Shay to smoke.. When Lebron leaves NO one will miss him. We still talking about MJ 27 yrs later passed his prime years.
MJ had more possessions, its as simple as that
This debate wil be fire 🔥🔥🔥👍🏽👍🏽
Not sure why Shannon keeps this up! Do you think LeBron could win 3 in a row, retire, go play another sport, come back and win 3 more in a row? The answer is clearly NO.
This debate is gonna last longer than the NBA
There was a nickname for lebron a few years ago. "Leflop". I never heard of a nickname like that jordan.
Stephen A forgots lebron is not a volume scorer. He plays a balance game focusing on team plays.
Lebron is 4th in assist and 26th in rebounds all time. Mj isn't in the top 50 for either category. Oh, and 1st in scoring, whereas mj is at 5th. People say his records are strictly longevity but I dare you to find another player who averaged 27 points, 7.5 rebounds, 7.4 assists, and 1.5 steals in their nba career. For context, mj played 15 seasons, lebron is in the middle of his 22nd season, but lebrons career totals are 41599 pts, 11543 rebounds, 11425 assist. Mj had 32292 points, 6672 rebounds, and 5633. Despite playing 7 more seasons he had double the assist that mj had, and is near doubling mjs rebounds total. And People only talk about points scored not points generated. So for points generated (career points and points generated by assists) mj has a total of 44121 points in his career ranking 7th all-time. Lebron has a total of 56,682 points generated as of his 18th season in the league, that was April 2021, and ranks ranks 1st all-time and his gap on the second place john Stockton has only grown since, Stockton was responsible for 52,903 points generated 2nd all-time, after playing 19 seasons.
People always bring up MJ got 10 scoring titles to LeBron 1 but that’s how you know MJ didn’t play against real scorers that can score the ball because MJ wouldn’t have 10 scoring titles that’s how I know MJ didn’t play against real Ballers that can score… Because no one Bron era have 5 scoring titles yet because it’s literally a new guy getting a Scoring title every year so how do that make MJ the goat
MJ got 10 scoring titles because he didn’t have to go against guys that is a Real Scoring player so that honestly makes MJ look worst because this Era no one has more then 3 scoring titles because it’s way more players that score the ball now
And another thing MJ did was scored 43 points at the age 40
Shanon sharp, he's still pushing Lebron is really GOAT. if you debate with SAS about GOAT. I am telling you that you will eat dust because if the GOAT in the NBA is going to talk about MJ's resume will be your standard and not a 22 season and counting.
Efficiency like Jordan didn’t average 50% FG with way more jump shots than LeBron will never catch
I think the whole comparing rings and team mate gimmick is trash. No way in hell the bulls is beating the warriors let’s just be real. I feel like the basketball players was stars in the 80s and 00s and 10s. The most talented is now. I feel like comparing teammates is like comparing teams. Everybody has the exact same stats on the team that they went against in the finals. Bron team was ranked underdogs all but I think twice. It’s about who u like more and what is the goat to u specifically. Bron mj and Kobe top 3 idc what order but definitely 3 headed goats
Stephen A won that round because Jordan is the goat!! Should have asked Shannon do you have more Jordans or LeBron tennis shoes😅
They should just ban this topic from all human conversations.
Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!
Lol shannon says MJ wasn’t efficient but shot a higher percentage than lebron in his career 🫠🤒
Never was a debate and will never be one neither 😂 people who think lebron is comparable to jordan is delusional. Jordan is the greatest by far and aint a second close neither. Sharpe is stupid hes arguments are just 🤣🤦 Stephen killing him.
Smh, MJ is the Goat. Kobe is better than LeBron fyi
Shannon Sharpe is entitled to his opinion regarding Lebron James. I have no problem with that. My problem more often than not is how in trying to show how good his preferred player is, he does it by tearing down other player's achievements. Also, his rationale is inconsistent depending on the situation.
Steven Davis giving it to Shannon Sharpe facts after facts after facts The facts of Life
I can watch Stephen a smith all day dropping facts abt Jordan 😂😂❤️
This is must see tv 😂😂😂😂
What's crazy is MJ was out his 2nd season mostly due to a broken foot and retired 2 seasons and came back and still had the career he did.
Lebron the goat end of discussion
Look at Shannon face when SA said “173!!” 😂😂
Uncle Shannon please stop it get some help😆🤦🏾♂️
In Europa are better player's then lebron
This great show
Love it❤
Ask LeBron’s, he’ll tell you MJ is greater.
Yall lucky Jordan is not playing right now in the nba
Played 7 more years and STILL chasing Jordan lol
Somebody said this how your two drunk uncles be arguing 😂
Gettem Steven A
