Nick Wright reacts to Charles Barkley not ranking LeBron over MJ I NBA I FIRST THINGS FIRST

Nick says that Phoenix Suns was stacked? But when talking about Jordan playing against tough teams in the Finals he says MJ played weak teams

@@Theyaintme_cb6 they were average compared to the bulls. Kevin Johnson undersized and Thunder Dan is American white boy. And Charles was 6’4”(true height). While the bulls had Horace Grant, BJ Armstrong, Pippen, and Jordan.

Lebron is GOAT of basketball already. Coming from a person who watched Jordan in the 90s and Jordan, Rodman, and Pippen were my favorite players. And it’s laughable that people still have Kobe above Lebron, that’s insulting. Lebron has been better than Kobe when he beat the pistons by himself and took a bad cavs team to the finals when he was 22 years old.

Amen Nick Wright! Thanks for giving me more arguments that Lebron is the true GOAT of basketball. 4 years after he left the Cavs that team won only 24 games on average per season!

Chris Bosch was top 8 NBA player playing in Toronto the year he joined Miami. WTF is you talking about??????

Nick is Lebron sidepiece.

He was clearly saying it for comedic effect

But he told no lies

It was tongue in cheek obviously. That’s why everyone laughed

@Tong Zou Not at all. Barkleys Suns were a superteam???

Because he agreed with Nick

It is

Facts

I bet. Is it because he agreed w Nick? Stop it theyre both wrong

Only because he defended LeBron right? 😂 Bronsexuals are funny

He is so good with nba history.

If y’all think he’s good check out bill simmons

Nick ain't sh*t

That's like letting a Lost Cause revisionist having his own segment in a history channel

Exactly

Lebron engineered great teams for all of his championships. He quit on his first team and got back when they got two all-stars. Nets team is built with his blueprint. Good for them but they lost respect.

Not his fault they failed at doing even an adequate job of putting any good players around him.
Then Boston put the big 3 together and he left for a better owner, GM and players.
Dame wants out for the same reason, he gave the organization lots of chances but they've failed.
KD joined the warriors even though okc did an excellent job if putting players around him, he went to a 73 win team that just beat him.

Jordans greatest teammates were Scottie pippen, and Dennis rodman, LeBron has had d.wade, Bosh, ray Allen, Kyrie, Anthony Davis, Kevin Love, and now Westbrook and melo, I'm no scientist but I'm smart enough to know LeBron has had way more help than MJ and Kobe

Woah woah woah, Kobe had a top 10 player of all time as a teammate In Shaq, Bron had had the 3rd greatest sg, The greatest shooter of all time b4 curry reached his prime, A top 10 pg of all time in Westbrook, a top 10 current player in AD, a top 12 scorer in all time points in Melo, K Love and Bosh, Mikes greatest teammates aren't even top 15

@@kckc7140 you saying that like he had all those guys on the same team? Also can we stop saying ray Allen? That dude was well past his prime, and was just a 6 man, I don’t even know if he averaged 10 points on those heatles teams!

@@Bryan-ib3jo they weren't all on the same team but at the time when those teams were assembled by LeBron it was unfair to the rest of the league because he was the only one forming superteams, and no we're not gonna stop saying ray Allen because he's single handily responsible for saving lebron's career with that shot against the spurs

Bron needs 1 more title and I'll consider him the GOAT. Too many accomplishments and even his failures (6 finals losses) are something that would boost a vast majority of HoFs resumes. Barkley being 0-1 in the finals helps him tremendously. Bron is changing the narrative for GOAT and bringing longevity into the debate.

No you're wrong there. Jordan is the greatest and all I know how to do is to bounce from a team when things get tough. I wish I could win with the same team like MJ and Kobe!

@@kup4ever There is no way Jordan is going to lose to that Warriors team. Plus with today’s rules, they would not be able to stop him.

Why are you still talking to me? I said what I said and I don't care what you think.

Jordan was with the Bulls 7 years before a chip. The soccer team in Chicago was more popular before Michael got there. It was a garbage team.

No Lebron was never asked to do so much! He wanted to be first player to make triple doubles and all of that. To me if chose to be a score first type of player, then pass here and there, maybe he has surpassed MJ a few years ago. But he chose to be in this situation and to be the system in every teams that he play for.

@@tysonclarke012 yes but when he asked for help they delivered. The cavs did not. That's the difference.

@@OGCxDaizy so... Lebron is better because he did worse?

@@tysonclarke012 what are you talking about? What I'm saying is the argument that lebron is bad because he left is a bad argument because the reason Jordan didn't need to leave is because his gm and owners actually put a good team around him when Jordan asked them to. When lebron asked for help the cavs organization did nothing. To say that lebron should have stayed like MJ did when MJ had a far better organization than lebron is a biased argument.

How can you blame Cleveland when no one wanted to play with lebron or go to Cleveland even now only people that goes to the Lakers are his friends and people signed to his agency

He was an all star because all the best Power Forwards played in the west. If LeBron went to the west he would’ve still been the best small forward. You put Bosh in the west he’s not making to an all star game. He’d be the 5th best pf.

Ridiculous Nick brushed off the huge amount of help Lebron has had. There is no teammate MJ had that’s better than DWade, Bosch, AD, Irvin, KLove, RWestbrook. Stop it. Nick has been wrong bout Lebron being better than MJ for years now.

Nick saying he is neutral is a joke

You are delusional, nothing nick or Brandon said about Barkley is applicable. We are comparing MJ kobe and lebron. They basically used the fact that charles barkley himself was a mercenary as evidence as a contradiction for his argument against lebron...how is that relevant when barkley is not even in the goat discussion? Lebron takes more of an active role than MJ and Kobe in generating teams that he still loses with...I'm sorry that's fair ammunition to fire against lebrons legacy. I dont care who he is losing too, you dont excuse being swept twice!! Yes, the first sweep was not him orchestrating but the second one was. A goat should be able to win a game. I'm not mad that he orchestrated and I'm not using his role in the orchestration against him. I'm using the fact that he loses more than he wins as a major composer of his orchestras as my fair ammunition

Thank you. Jordan won 3 in a row with just Pippen. Then another 3 with a better team. Jordan did not run to a better team. He won with what was there for a three-peat.

@@MrOunce3 out of curiosity who would you pick?

@@OGCxDaizy I would probably take Larry Bird at his position.

who else did they lose?

Of the 10 other players than LeBron the Cavs had that averaged more than 10 minutes a game in his last year in Cleveland, 8 of them were on the team up until the trade deadline, they only lost Shaq (who played in only 50 games anyways) and Ilguaskas, who was nothing compared to the player he was a few years prior. The rest of the core returned, and the only trade made was the Antawn Jamison for Baron Davis and a 1st trade that happened right before the deadline, and they already had the worst losing streak in NBA history, so no, the Cavs didn’t lose a lot the following year, being a season ticket holder and actually watching both teams makes you realize how bad the team was and LeBron carried it.

Oh apologies, and Delonte West, but still I rest my case

People understand that but you have to put it in context. Jordan’s marathon came with pieces that helped him, great general manager and talent seeker: Jerry Krause. Great coach in Phil Jackson. Not making it far into the playoffs or being a low seed lead to high draft picks like Scottie Pippen. Bron had none of these luxuries that afford you to sustain a marathon. With the Cavs first high draft pick they chose Luke Jackson and never forget without Bron they chose Anthony Bennett. They didn’t even get a capable GM until David Griffin in 2014.

Plus add Rodman and Harper for the second three peat. Those teams had ridiculous defenses. During Jordan era compared to now. This league has way better wing players.

A. If you watch this show you know that only one of these guys is a “LeBron is the Goat” guy. So you’re just incorrect.
B. It wasn’t really about MJ vs LeBron, it was about Barkley’s comments about stacked teams and being loyal with regards to the GOAT conversation. That’s why they talked about being loyal and “stacked” teams.
