Shannon loves using the 57 to 55 win arguement for jordan. Jordan and pippen played in the Olympics that off-season they won 57. They coasted that season. Won 57 and the title. Yes the bulls went 55 wins without him. That was because they were being called the Jordanairs and had something to prove. He never mentions before jordan came back the next year they were barely above .500 until Jordan returned. And the very next year they went from 47 wins to 72 wins. A 25 win increase. Plus every year they won the tittle besides the 92-93 season they won 61+ games and the TITLE. So no shannon is wrong again as usual when it comes to mj and lebron. And uses false narratives and noncontextualized arguments to TRY to make lebron seem greater than Jordan.
@@4th_tribe_prince Shannon Sharpe also fails to mention: 1.) The Chicago Bulls went from winning three straight titles to losing in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs without Michael Jordan. 2.) The 1993-94 Eastern Conference lost a lot of top talent besides Jordan. Atlanta was the top seed in the East despite trading its greatest player (Dominique Wilkins) for Danny Manning after the All-Star Game break. Cleveland got the No. 6 seed despite losing Brad Daughtery and Larry Nance to career-ending injuries. Boston lost Reggie Lewis (death) and Kevin McHale (retirement). Detroit lost Isiah Thomas (retirement). Charlotte lost Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning for an extended period because of injuries.

I agree that Dwight is the biggest snub of the top 75 but Anthony Davis for as big of a laughing stock as he’s been the last 10 months still deserves to be in.

Ad is better in every way except in terms of defense (Howard is the 12th or 13th best defender ever and AD is the 17th best defender ever) and longevity. Peak, prime, offense, and playoffs (lower sample size for AD) all go to AD tho.

Giannis isn’t just better… it’s not even close. Giannis is on a whole different level. Better inside, better from 3, better on defense, better leader, better attitude, in better shape, etc. He outclasses AD solidly in every single way. And I say this as a lifelong Lakers fan.

@@RAMONE1907 “ No help “ I suppose they were the number 1 defense in the league solely because of Bron right ? That Cavs team was not complete garbage like y’all like to make it seem . The entire East was garbage whereas the West had multiple 50 win teams each year in the playoffs . Had Cleveland been a western conference team , they never would’ve sniffed a finals appearance that year . Whoever came out the west those years was winning it all .
Because AD became too dependent on him ... AD need to be the best big man we know he is like sometimes you got to be that guy you was in NO... We added Russ to take a huge load off LeBron and you can’t win games with him and AD!
Lebron played 6 games this season and the lakers were 4-2, having beaten the rockets(terrible team) twice. So it's not like they were great this year with him in the lineup. This shouldnt come as surprise when he's out that they are losing games. They are not a great team even with him on the floor to begin with...
People called me a salty Pelicans fan when I said AD will ultimately disappoint Laker fans. I watched him almost every dribble for 7 years. This is who he is. Arguably top 3 talent with one of the lowest motors in the league. He's not that guy. He won't be your best player if you want to win consistently. It is what it is
Lebron also makes teams cash out on all assets and exhaust all options before he leaves in FA. The reason why those teams are left helpless is bc they are left with nothing w/o the ability to get a ROI
Don't forget how LeBron lead team don't have a starting caliber PG because of how much LeBron has the ball. It's damn near impossible to be competitive of you start Daniel Gibson or Mario Chalmers at point for a season
@@Jjuanpedro13 would you rather have dwade and Bosh or a mike Conley post prime type of player? Bc this is a salary cap league you can only have 3 max contracts on 1 team. Hence the reason Chalmers and Norris Cole were the point. The just needed a body on the court, nothing more nothing less
@@DeCoededSports when LeBron left and d-wade was shell of himself, Mike Conley definitely would've been the choice, mind you if LeBron is leaving you should definitely have more cap available
Yeah exactly they just casually mention that he dropped 47 on AD's head, constantly talking about how bad the Lakers are but not how good Giannis is. Let Curry, KD, or LeBron have a game like that and they'll be on their knees.
Well in all fairness they do that for the clicks obviously but also we know what Giannis is and what he’s gonna bring on a game to game basis. AD some days looks like a better Giannis since he has the jump shot and others he looks like a backup center. There’s a bit more to talk about in that respect. I’d still wanna hear a bit more Giannis takes though
giannis is a top 24 range player all time already will be top 20 soon with his eyes set on top 15 possibly within 2 years...and top 10 within 3-4...people need to pay attention to this man
I’m hoping he can be the next Kobe. The mentality, the drive, it’s all there. Not saying he will be Kobe. Just the next rookie superstar for the Lakers going into the future.
@@youtubewatcher4955 LOL, how TF can he be the next Kobe without an outside shot? Until THT develops a complete all around game what he is now is what he will always be.
AD just doesn't try. He reminds me of myself, when I'm feeling lazy and there's a defender in front of me, so I just shoot. He does it over and over again, occasionally he'll cut and he's good at filling his lane on fast breaks, but if there's a defender in front of him, he just shoots every time. If he put in the effort and drove like Giannis, he'd win an MVP, but he'd rather give 50% every night. I didn't start being "lazy" and taking shots over defenders, until I injured both of my ankles, so maybe he's scared to hurt himself, so he doesn't give 100%, but either way, he's in the NBA so he needs to get over whatever it is, because 100% is what we expect.
The Lakers, like most teams in the league just have to remember to pace themselves. An early sprint to get out ahead is something all fans enjoy watching. Its tricky because you can't sprint the entire 48 but the key to holding on and winning those games comes with how you balance your sprint and your pace.
I'm from milwaukee and seen giannis play. He isn't a better skilled player than A.D. I can just say A.D. shoots better all around than giannis . The rest is a tie basically
2:20 Talented or skill, Giannis is a better player. FACT. AD is not a single player leader..he needs a co-star. Giannis is just a different, dominant, mentality monster (atleast compared to AD)
When organizations allow LeBron to dictate player acquisitions to accentuate his strengths, the team flounders without him. Miami didn't do that. Riles ran that show. He ensured the pieces were in place to lessen James leaving. What he didn't foresee was Bosh's blood clots and Wade not taking a discount and bouncing. The Heat were still better prepared.
THIS!! Man you're speaking FACTS. I just love when these leTards point out how Lebron teams implode after he's gone, well OF COURSE they will because his other occupation is getting his Klutch pals great contracts. Overpaid role players and old veterans on their last legs. The GM of the bulls had the balls to go against the G.O.A.T. to do what he believed was the best for the organization and had a coach that WAS in charge. Ty Lue has gotten much better but to think he wasn't more than a YES MAN to lebron on Cleveland is ludicrous.
You Lebron haters will say anything. The first year without Lebron the Heat were a sub .500 team. The basement dweller that was the Cavaliers all of a sudden are in the finals. Kyrie Irving was an inexperienced injury prone young player with potential. Kevin Love was a good player on a team that never came close to smelling the playoffs in Minnesota. And a rookie coach. Pat Riley and that Heat front office was/is incredible. But losing Bron!? Is that why Lebron was still going to NBA finals without the Heat organization, while they were wallowing in mediocrity?
This is Crazy. I watched a 22 minutes Clip and at no point did these dudes give Giannis his Roses for an astounding performance. They kept saying what AD didn't do right. What could have happened if LeBron had played. This is what is wrong with ESPN and their analysts. Only one Agenda to push. How great LeBron is, how Great AD should be, and how not so talented Giannis is. 👏 Bravo 👏 🙌 👌
game 7 in 2016..but yeah without bosh but the raptors lost jonas so......they lost bosh and wade for many games in 2014-2015 and missed the playoffs but were a top 3 seed before that....
I'm a true Lakers fan. But we can't turn a blind eye. AD can't lead the team. Russ is their biggest mistake. Vogel is not a smart coach. The 2nd should be traded. The 3rd should be fired.
Finally somebody call it lets trade away players we need to just pick up players that can stat pad the LeBron system then when LeBron doesn't play nobody knows how to win team after team
@@Aisaac20-t7t lebron literally hand picked this team🤣🤣🤣 he wants to act like LeGM but it’s not his fault when they’re not winning? Maybe don’t sign all your friends and actually look to build a good team
I love this guys! They're like crazy man. If Lakers players would've the same passion of playing basketball as these guys do when talking about it, they would've lead the league.
@@bori1986 There's always a media circus around the Lakers, and there's always a media circus around LeBron. The media must love that he's a Laker these days.
Whenever a third star is added to a team, it is likely that team will lose their depth/chemistry (due to the trade involving that player). Now one of those stars is absent, the team doesn’t have what takes to win games. Look at the Nets
The Lakers depth has been injured, they were missing 4 players out of the rotation since the season started. THT just got back, Wayne just got back, idk if Nunn or Ariza is back yet, and now LeBron is supposed to finally come back. They've been running 11-12 man rotations since game 1 and most of them are up there in age, specifically Melo, Bron and Dwight. They can't be playing 20+ minutes a night every game (except LeBron, but he shouldn't have to).
Nets are second in the east lol and the season is still early af wym??? Westbrook isn't a star player either, he just gets paid like one. He's easily thr worst player to get an all star appearance much less an MVP(that everyone besides westbrick fans knows should have been Hardens lol)
"How do you get swept by the spurs" Lebron vs tim duncan, parker, ginobili, bruce bowen, gregg popovich thats how Skip P.S. larry hughes (cavs 2nd leading scorer) missed last 2 games of the finals but no one mentions that
Also Hughes didn't even average over 14ppg for the playoffs that season. He had nobody. He also had nobody in 2018. Love didn't average more than 15ppg in the playoffs that season. Got 6 new players at mid season and still carried that mess to the Finals where he averaged a triple double. Bron, the only player on his team averaging more than 15ppg vs the KD GSW which had 3 players that averaged 20+ppg and 5 that averaged 10+ppg in the playoffs that season. How does LBJ get swept by the Spurs in 2007? How about 3 HoFers and a HoF coach vs a 22 yr old Bron with basically a lottery team. 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
@@Mister2wo1ne6ix A.I was great and deserves all the credit but he had a better team then the cavs. The 76ers in 01 had the DPOY in mutombo, 6th man and coach of the year and HOF coach Larry brown.
we all know lebron wouldn't be in the finals in the west in that spurs, gsw, okc era. he barely had competitio in the east. since he created that big 3 joining stars era, the best competition he had to face was the aging big 3 of the celtics.
I agree but there’s some context to apply also. For example: the Bulls vs Celtics series were MJ vs 6 HOF’s where as Lebron has been swept & also beat 4-1/4-2 with equal rosters to the other team that defeated him. Lebron’s Miami rosters were stacked & they were one shot away from only winning 1 title in Lebron’s PRIME!! I agree Skip shows bias, but his assessment overall is somewhat accurate. Once MJ was on top no one ate until he retired. LBJ cannot say the same…🤷🏼♂️
Shannon earlier said when Jordan left, they were one game away from the ECF while when LeBron leaves, teams are in disarray proving Lebron's worth. I would propose that Jordan's Bull's were a team with Jordan as their x-factor while LeBron builds teams built around him and the LeBron James system. Thus you'll see a greater drop-off when one leaves the other.
We’ve seen this on every team LeBron has been on when he is not available the teams he’s been on are trash!! That’s how efficient his impact he’s the determining factor of whether you win or lose! More when you win then if you lose
@@Terror832 exactly my point and remember his first year with the lakers he played with Lonzo who at the time was no where near ready! Josh heart, KCP, kuzma, lance Stephenson, washed Tyson chandler and michale Beasley, and Brandon Ingram and Alex Caruso with a bron who damn near tore his groin muscle and missed 6 weeks… they were a top 3 team before that injury…..
Underrated point that I’ve only seen Isaiah Thomas bring up before is that lebron took all of his rookie coaches to the finals out of high school. While most greats had very good coaches at some point at the collegiate level or pro level
@@jeremytucker8853 I’m sorry but if you don’t think Lebron is AT LEAST top 3 I think your opinions on basketball are invalid and I say that respectfully
Skip is just acting like it's better to get knocked out before the finals. But most nostalgic people think it's better to lose in the first round then go to the finals. The Same people are the ones saying doncic is not good because he can't get out of first round.
The biggest misconception over the last 3 seasons is that AD is a better 3pt shooter then Giannis over that time Giannis has made 176 3s on 30% yo AD'S 104 3's made on 24% shooting GIANNIS IS THE BETTER 3PT SHOOTER
I’ve been saying it since he’s joined, Anthony Davis is only good on a bad team. He’s average on a good team. Howard need to start. AD is the new Kevin Love.
@@damianpresha6414 because Bosh missed like 10 games in the 1st half and then he couldn't play the 2nd half of the season because of blood clots....and MJ just led the Bulls to 3 straight rings, they'd BETTER be good by then.
It probably comes to locations. AD was a Beast in small market. I respect Gianiss for staying in Milwaukee. Let your talent dictate the future not your location.
The Laker's were tired, the team needed rest, but... Can't win every game, but it takes difficult challenges ahead, to find that energy from winning one, they have to study harder to get back in momentum!
The were 1-2 with LeBron lol stop acting like they were dominating the league before he got hurt lmao they actually have a winning record without him lol
It's because the leadership isn't there. He's the only true Great player in the league. Steph has another MVP and a title in him within the next 4 years
The Problem with that is they say LeBron makes the players around him better. But that’s only when he’s on the court. He doesn’t actually make anyone better themselves just when on court with him.Making a player better is when they’re better with or without him. Everyone that he leaves behind does not get better. Coincidentally the players that leave him seem to succeed someone explain
the reason is simple. they play the LBJ-System and not a Team-System. MJ played in a System under Jackson. Thats why his teams colappse when he's gone or injured. Shannons first reason is also very wrong. The biggest impact in winning is for sure not LBJ (4-6), its Bill Russell. that shouldnt be even a debate.
No one has had a better impact on winning? Bill Russell must be chopped liver then. I guess being the most winningest player in all of American sports history means nothing then.
How do you bring up a player, who played with the most hall of famers on a team. And still struggled to beat Wilt. Its the prime example of team>player
Nobody care about that era man we all they were all skinny dudes who barely had talent just height, if they played in this era they would be destroyed no competition at all
He’s not overrated, he doesn’t have an elite mindset, atleast he doesn’t show it. When the guy does play mad and try to bully his opponents, he’s shows why he can be a top 5 player because he IS that guy. But he needs to do it more consistently.
I think you can include Lebron in the brittle conversation, when was the last time he played a full season, tbh I can’t be bothered checking but I’m guessing it was awhile ago.
Think about that this stat line. 3rd most minutes in the League, Year 19, averaging 27, 7.4 rebounds and 7.4 assists. How can you play that much, be that dominant, and be doing this for 19 years?
Because the team is built for LeBron, it’s no wonder he has the authority to request trades for his team. The team can’t function without him on the court and it makes him look more valuable than he really is
@@mooojojojo4937 the lakers system conditions the team entirely to be reliant on LeBron, as I’ve said he has the authority to pick trades..having a top level talent in AD and former MVP in Russ, coupled with a great supporting cast should not be leading to the losses that they have been having. LeBron is still a top 10 arguably top 5 player when not injured player in the league, but with the way the lakers are built and struggle without LeBron it does make him look more valuable than he really is. Which is saying a lot because he still is one heck of a valuable player on his skill level
People have failed to understand, since 2011 Lebron makes these so called "superteams" into a superteam. Take lebron away from the heat, cavs, lakers then they arent even close to being championship teams
@@pfunk3697 he is, lebrons only true blackmark where he 100% should have won but lost is 2011 and in my opinion, 1 series doesnt eliminate you from goat conversations especially for lebron. I think he is going to have a 21-23 year career and 1 series doesnt disqualify him

Had Cleveland been a western conference team , they never would’ve sniffed a finals appearance that year . Whoever came out the west those years was winning it all .
It's crazy that in year 19 lebron teams are still super depended on him for them to win games
Cause they don’t have an actual offense it’s just give lebron the ball and let him drive for an open shooter.
It's because of the teams he continues to build
@TheVolourn Even then offense is drive & kick with Westbrook . Point still stands . They have no real offense outside of drive & kick .
Because AD became too dependent on him ... AD need to be the best big man we know he is like sometimes you got to be that guy you was in NO... We added Russ to take a huge load off LeBron and you can’t win games with him and AD!
Lebron played 6 games this season and the lakers were 4-2, having beaten the rockets(terrible team) twice. So it's not like they were great this year with him in the lineup. This shouldnt come as surprise when he's out that they are losing games. They are not a great team even with him on the floor to begin with...
People called me a salty Pelicans fan when I said AD will ultimately disappoint Laker fans. I watched him almost every dribble for 7 years. This is who he is. Arguably top 3 talent with one of the lowest motors in the league. He's not that guy. He won't be your best player if you want to win consistently. It is what it is
From a far I kind of always saw this in his game, low motor, physically gifted and talented but no drive. Dare I say... mamba mentality!
THT has replaced his bum self, the layup package, floor general and drive speak for themselves.

@@eshom9103 *LeBron won us a ring there you 😂 Where you think y'all gonna be when LeBron is done. You're seeing a sneak preview now
did he always fall down 5 times per game?
Lebron also makes teams cash out on all assets and exhaust all options before he leaves in FA. The reason why those teams are left helpless is bc they are left with nothing w/o the ability to get a ROI
Don't forget how LeBron lead team don't have a starting caliber PG because of how much LeBron has the ball. It's damn near impossible to be competitive of you start Daniel Gibson or Mario Chalmers at point for a season
@@Jjuanpedro13 would you rather have dwade and Bosh or a mike Conley post prime type of player? Bc this is a salary cap league you can only have 3 max contracts on 1 team. Hence the reason Chalmers and Norris Cole were the point. The just needed a body on the court, nothing more nothing less
@@DeCoededSports when LeBron left and d-wade was shell of himself, Mike Conley definitely would've been the choice, mind you if LeBron is leaving you should definitely have more cap available
Giannis just had a monstrous game that showed that nobody can match him, and all i hear is about Lakers, smh...
Yeah exactly they just casually mention that he dropped 47 on AD's head, constantly talking about how bad the Lakers are but not how good Giannis is. Let Curry, KD, or LeBron have a game like that and they'll be on their knees.
Thank you I was hoping somebody would bring it up
The disrespect 🤦♂️
True, no praise to Giannis Jesus Christ... They could make it simple and say he's the most dominant player in the league
Well in all fairness they do that for the clicks obviously but also we know what Giannis is and what he’s gonna bring on a game to game basis. AD some days looks like a better Giannis since he has the jump shot and others he looks like a backup center. There’s a bit more to talk about in that respect. I’d still wanna hear a bit more Giannis takes though
giannis is a top 24 range player all time already will be top 20 soon with his eyes set on top 15 possibly within 2 years...and top 10 within 3-4...people need to pay attention to this man
6:37 HOW AD MADE THE TOP 75 OF *ALLTIME* IS EXTREMELY QUESTIONABLE.
Mhm without LeBron he is nobody like Kyrie!
Yes it is
I stopped watching after LeBron got hurt, but THT has gotten me to watch them again. He's been great since his return.
I’m hoping he can be the next Kobe. The mentality, the drive, it’s all there. Not saying he will be Kobe. Just the next rookie superstar for the Lakers going into the future.

😂😂😂😂

Giannis Antento-corolla just keeps going and going 🤣🔥🔥🔥
It's pointless to debate with Skip. 🤦🏾♂️
Tom Brady and 🐐 James!
You mean LeShannon
AD just doesn't try. He reminds me of myself, when I'm feeling lazy and there's a defender in front of me, so I just shoot. He does it over and over again, occasionally he'll cut and he's good at filling his lane on fast breaks, but if there's a defender in front of him, he just shoots every time. If he put in the effort and drove like Giannis, he'd win an MVP, but he'd rather give 50% every night. I didn't start being "lazy" and taking shots over defenders, until I injured both of my ankles, so maybe he's scared to hurt himself, so he doesn't give 100%, but either way, he's in the NBA so he needs to get over whatever it is, because 100% is what we expect.
exactly u broke it down great
How to tell when Uncle Shay Shay is about to shred your already flimsy logic: He says "...Ok, lemme ask you a question....."
Lol never fails
The Lakers, like most teams in the league just have to remember to pace themselves. An early sprint to get out ahead is something all fans enjoy watching. Its tricky because you can't sprint the entire 48 but the key to holding on and winning those games comes with how you balance your sprint and your pace.
2:15 , Giannis is 100%, objectively, indubitably, unequivocally, absolutely a better and more skilled player than AD
I'm from milwaukee and seen giannis play. He isn't a better skilled player than A.D. I can just say A.D. shoots better all around than giannis . The rest is a tie basically

I mean it would help if ad had Middleton and jrue like Giannis
When organizations allow LeBron to dictate player acquisitions to accentuate his strengths, the team flounders without him. Miami didn't do that. Riles ran that show. He ensured the pieces were in place to lessen James leaving. What he didn't foresee was Bosh's blood clots and Wade not taking a discount and bouncing. The Heat were still better prepared.
Oh yeah you better speak facts then 💯❗️
Facts & bron knows it everytime
Thank you!!!! Oh yea I’m pretty sure Bill Russell had a greater impact on winning than Lebron.
THIS!! Man you're speaking FACTS. I just love when these leTards point out how Lebron teams implode after he's gone, well OF COURSE they will because his other occupation is getting his Klutch pals great contracts. Overpaid role players and old veterans on their last legs. The GM of the bulls had the balls to go against the G.O.A.T. to do what he believed was the best for the organization and had a coach that WAS in charge. Ty Lue has gotten much better but to think he wasn't more than a YES MAN to lebron on Cleveland is ludicrous.
You Lebron haters will say anything. The first year without Lebron the Heat were a sub .500 team. The basement dweller that was the Cavaliers all of a sudden are in the finals. Kyrie Irving was an inexperienced injury prone young player with potential. Kevin Love was a good player on a team that never came close to smelling the playoffs in Minnesota. And a rookie coach. Pat Riley and that Heat front office was/is incredible. But losing Bron!? Is that why Lebron was still going to NBA finals without the Heat organization, while they were wallowing in mediocrity?
This is Crazy. I watched a 22 minutes Clip and at no point did these dudes give Giannis his Roses for an astounding performance. They kept saying what AD didn't do right. What could have happened if LeBron had played. This is what is wrong with ESPN and their analysts. Only one Agenda to push. How great LeBron is, how Great AD should be, and how not so talented Giannis is. 👏 Bravo 👏 🙌 👌

The Lakers depth has been injured, they were missing 4 players out of the rotation since the season started. THT just got back, Wayne just got back, idk if Nunn or Ariza is back yet, and now LeBron is supposed to finally come back. They've been running 11-12 man rotations since game 1 and most of them are up there in age, specifically Melo, Bron and Dwight. They can't be playing 20+ minutes a night every game (except LeBron, but he shouldn't have to).

we all know lebron wouldn't be in the finals in the west in that spurs, gsw, okc era. he barely had competitio in the east. since he created that big 3 joining stars era, the best competition he had to face was the aging big 3 of the celtics.
Skip criticizes bron for getting swept by spurs but gives MJ a pass for getting swept twice by the celtics. A contradiction personified.
It wasn’t the finals
I agree but there’s some context to apply also. For example: the Bulls vs Celtics series were MJ vs 6 HOF’s where as Lebron has been swept & also beat 4-1/4-2 with equal rosters to the other team that defeated him. Lebron’s Miami rosters were stacked & they were one shot away from only winning 1 title in Lebron’s PRIME!! I agree Skip shows bias, but his assessment overall is somewhat accurate. Once MJ was on top no one ate until he retired. LBJ cannot say the same…🤷🏼♂️

The Problem with that is they say LeBron makes the players around him better. But that’s only when he’s on the court. He doesn’t actually make anyone better themselves just when on court with him.Making a player better is when they’re better with or without him. Everyone that he leaves behind does not get better. Coincidentally the players that leave him seem to succeed someone explain
That’s kind of a stupid argument. Show me one player that actually makes his team better off the court that isn’t a 13th man off the bench?
Great tie Shay Shay.....nice suit too brother
the reason is simple. they play the LBJ-System and not a Team-System. MJ played in a System under Jackson. Thats why his teams colappse when he's gone or injured. Shannons first reason is also very wrong. The biggest impact in winning is for sure not LBJ (4-6), its Bill Russell. that shouldnt be even a debate.
Ohh so it was Phil that was great and not Jordan ? Got it…
