LeBron James vs Michael Jordan — the GOAT debate may never truly end, but the NBA players who actually faced these legends have a very different perspective.

In this video, NBA legends and former players break down what made Michael Jordan so feared, why LeBron James became one of the most unstoppable players ever, and the biggest difference between their mentalities. From Jordan’s legendary competitiveness and “killer instinct” to LeBron’s longevity, versatility, and ability to dominate an entire game, we look at the stories that shaped the greatest NBA debate of all time.

We also dive into Scottie Pippen’s impact, the Jordan Rules, the 1992 Dream Team, Kobe Bryant’s influence, LeBron’s Miami years, the 2011 Finals, the historic 2016 comeback, and what defenders who faced these superstars really thought.

And I can't believe that lebron says he studied scotty pippin, and he modeled his game after scotty pippin, if he did that, he would be playing defense

I love how Shawn Kemp says Michael Jordan made Scottie Pippen a little bit better like come on man if it wasn't for Jordan we wouldn't be talking about Pippin today Pippin sure still would have been a good player but because he played with Jordan he won six rings and became a top 50 player all time these guys always got to try to get there subtle little digs in at Jordan everybody knows Pippin didn't have a killer mentality MJ recognized Pippin had Talent and worked with him very very hard to bring that Talent out

People need to remember that when pippin came into the league, he wasn't good, he got good during practice. It took him a year or two before he started actually showing improvement

Please Just stop.
there's a million and one videos out there already.
To even bother making a vid only shows your a Lebozo fan who can't get over it.
No one wants to copy Lebozo, everyone copied MJ

NBA won't B good until LBJ gets off the roids and retire

Scott Pippen Couldnt take Brad Sellers Small Forward Spot Until He Was Traded, MJ never not started since his sophomore year in High School. Scottie b ball journey was a later bloomer as a walkon

@PrivateCitizenMO 2 hours ago (edited)

Pippen would have been nowhere near the ball player he became if he had never played with MJ. You can't say that about anyone LeBron played with. All the stars' stats suffered because of LeBron.

Phil Jackson Is The Goat of Coaching! 11 rings + a good Winning Percetage to back it up And he Won 5 without Michael Jordan!

Not one comment/story is left to play out in full.
Yes, most we've already heard, but it is extremely annoying

@Truththouwow100 22 hours ago

@LegendarySportsGamer 1 day ago (edited)

before i even look at this post let me guess. there going to say MJ is better than Lebron and use all Team Stats like his Chips and Winning And Clutch and they're not going to mention Phil Jackson And the Chicago Bulls at all. smh alright lets go! .... oh yeah even tho we talking about the greatest PLAYER OF ALL TIME! alright lets go!

Yall can believe his biased video favoring jordan on who the goat is or trust the stats which have been here long before he was even born. stats never lie in my opinion. this kid is lying. championships shouldnt matter when you talking about the greatest player ever cause teams win championships and were not talking about teams. were talking about PLAYERS! stats are strictly for players only. coach dont have stats like pts/reb/ast/stl/blk. coaches have stats like winning percentage trips to the playoffs and finals and last but least CHAMPIONSHIPS. so why are you judging a player off coach stats! makes absolutely no sense at all!
