Jordan always been a mid range/dunker. in today’s NBA, you got to pull up from 3 and MJ ain’t about that life!
Honestly, Steph, Bron and KD don’t have the killer mentality that Bird and Jordan had….Bird would take Bron and KD out of their game with his trash talking, MJ would D up Steph and Magic would be passing dimes to MJ on the fast break and Larry at mid range.
Lebron is the only NBA player that has over 5 thousand turnovers, close to 1,000 more than the next guy. Lebron is the only NBA player ever to get swept in the NBA Finals, not once but twice. Since 1992, the men’s Olympic basketball team record is 64-4, Lebron was on the team for 3 of those losses. It should be Steph, KD, and Kobe
Jordan is the best scorer and greatest player to ever touch a basketball 🏀
So the pistons 2 peat didn’t exist? Lmfao
Kendrick Perkins should shut his mouth lebron never did anything to improve or advance the game of basketball. Steph and Durrant has had a great positive impact on the game lebron never did period .Jordan is and forever the G.O.A.T #1
I don’t get it. Kendrick talks about how the new 3 changes the game… The old 3 did the same!! Larry pioneered the 3pt, there is no LeBron without Magic, and MJ?!?! C’mon everyone wanted and still wants “To Be Like Mike”.
imagine kd, lebron & chef curry in one team on NBA! 💀💀
There reasoning sucks
Respect the old heads and take nothing from them , but Bron , Steph and KD work perfectly
The 1992 dream team was feared and respected by their presences alone. They crush teams to the point that after half time the Dream team sent out back ups to make it fair. Lebron team while well made was never feared and everyone thought they had a chance and almost did several times.
Y’all do know they GAVE LeBron a double-double AFTER the Olympic Finals vs France game while D Wade was being interviewed by Mike Tirico, right? As they showed Bron’s highlights before the interview, it showed he fell one assist short of a double-double with 9 assists. That was the stats for the entire game of him not getting a double-double, even as the game concluded and afterward during the immediate celebration. But then as the interview ensued after the game, his stats suddenly showed that he got 10 assists. I screenshot it and everything, and sent it to my bro. Lol If that happened, who knows how much they were doing it throughout the tournament.
“Which is better…….” blah blah blah lack of creative ideas eh ESPN? Tired exhaustive format of content zzz….
MJ, Magic and Bird. Not even close.
if you pick old era you are trippin HAHAHAHAHA you need to stop
the duration then why MJ is goat for ya’ll not LBJ?? non sense debate
Man I believe Jordan is the GOAT but if we’re talking 3v3, LBJ, KD, and Steph will win big against MJ, Bird, and Magic if all of them in their prime. 😅
KD, Bron, Curry would be the best big 3 ever
Lebron KD And Steph would lose cause KD and Steph to much of a liability on Defense
Bruh magic was old af when he played Mj 😭
