The most damning evidence is the reputational hits taken by Chris Bosh and Kevin Love. Both of them were multiple-time All-Stars, and in Kevin Love's case, a perennial all-NBA performer. Look at their legacies now in the eyes of Bron stans-they've been reduced to third-wheel role players who weren't good enough. I especially feel bad for Love because he was basically taken out of his natural position and told to stand in the corner, when he had been a force of nature as a true PF all the way from high school to UCLA to Minnesota.
@@KingBreeze07 Elite defense in this league lol. AD is definitely amazing but that's not the argument you want to go for in this FT merchant era and no hand-checking.
But they both won championships though…. and are millionaires basketball is a team sport… the teams they played prior to lebron were very mediocre or below average
My biggest problem is when he wins it's all about him. "That one right there made me the greatest player of all time." When he loses it's all about how "We didn't have enough."
If I’m not mistaken the beginning of dirks career was riddled with him not taking winning seriously. But that 2011 team was the greatest team defense ever for that entire playoff run
@@BallIsLife353332 Before Dirk won the championship here are his accomplishments - he won the MVP, he's been in the WCF twice and the Finals once and a bunch of 50-60 win seasons and playoff appearances. Dirk was already HOF material even before 2011, so saying that Dirk did not take winning seriously before 2011 is a bad take.
It's crazy how his fans will applaud his ability to have the level of control he does over the roster but then will flat out refuse to hold him accountable in any way when the team doesn't succeed.
Bro! Instead of him being a leader he believes he is and telling Jr not to worry about it and keep his head in the game, he does the complete opposite and not only shuts himself down but everyone else around him as well!! I couldn’t believe what I was seeing! I’m not the best teammate on the court but even I would’ve been like “don’t worry it about we good we got a whole nother quarter to make it happen we got it baby!!” What a diva that ‘grown man’ is😂😂
@@PM-wp6zeif you play sports you screw up and you feel worse than anyone and hopefully your teammates pick you up. If it is someone else's screw up you try and pick them up. LeBron is awful.
@@Bilious303 Do you have ANY IDEAL EXACTLY HOW MANY SPOT UP SHOOTERS ARE IN THE HALL OF FAME "BEFORE" LE-BRICK JAMES STARTED DOING IT "ALONE" FOR ASSIST NUMBERS? PASSING THE BASKETBALL 🏀 TO THE OPEN "PROFESSIONAL" JUMPSHOOTER "ISN'T" BASKETBALL ROCKET SCIENCE 101...... FOR MOST!🤔😳🏀
I prefer Jordan or Kobe’s approach, be upfront and call someone out in person if necessary. That is why I would never allow a camera team in the training facility or at a practice, what is being said or done there is only for the team to know. Not this passive aggressive shit of saying something on Twitter for the world to see but keep it as vague as possible so you can deny it just in case you get called out. I will never respect that approach because it is a bitch move.
I agree. Lebron acts like buddies to their face but behind the scenes is trying to get them traded or fired. Kobe amd MJ said it to their face in practice so they were ready for rhe game
@@TheRealMindCrime yeah that is something I did never understand. You don't need to be friends on or off the court, just play together as a team regardless of what you think about the other person. The main goal of any organization is to put together the best pieces to compete, MJ made it work with Dennis because he knew he was a fitting piece for the 96,97 & 98 Bulls. Kobe had issues with Shaq and did even fight with him over his work ethic and they got 3 chips out of it.
He did everything to himself because he can't keep his mouth shut. He loves the attention good or bad. Good, of course he'll take the credit. Bad, someone else will get blamed or he'll have his PR team and lemedia try to extinguish the flames while he comes up with something else to take the attention away from that. He can't help himself...
LeBALCO fans are the ones that put high expectations while other nba fans/LeBrick haters don't really care for him to succeed or not, then when Lebum loses they project to the rest of the fan bases saying we shouldn't expect much since he's old or has no help. His fans are just like him, they put expectations up for their king and then play the victim when he doesn't meet them.
Interesting fact: just recently lebozo whined about not playing with Kyrie, how great he is. Well, how disrespectful it is towards his current teammates, like AD or Reeves...
After trying to get him traded for PG or CP3... if I'm AD, I'd try and get the Lakers to push LeBron out. Firstly, by not drafting his son and not hiring the coach he wants.
The queen gets that feminine energy going and starts to lay the contradictions out like we don't know what REALLY went on. Kyrie don't want nothing to do with that guy. They call KD a snake but the queen is even worse imo...
David Blatt wanted to run a motion offense similar to the Spurs and later the Warriors but guess who didn't want to run the offense so the other players followed
Ya the treatment he got was crazy and noone ever brings it up I think Blatt would've been a good coach but I think lebron effectively black balled him out the league lol
Of course not he can't pad his stats if he plays in an actual offense. One of LeFlop fans favorite things to say is he never had a hall of Fame coach like Phil but the way LeBron operates he would have got Phil fired like all the rest of his coaches
Bro to this day, as a Cavs fan I’m still upset David Blatt was fired after 1 season 😠 he was a good coach and I liked Blatt also good on him for refusing that 2016 ring too
I mean normal people can simply listen to Kyries own version of why he left the Cavs or bich type fangirls can go with the narrative they have in their imagination
@@jarredrua7482actually, yes. Have you seen how fans and the media talking heads speak of Wade now? It's so disrespectful and disingenuous it's ridiculous.
@@jarredrua7482 Wade went from unanimously talked about as the 3rd best shooting guard behind Jordan and Kobe. To now he's not even brought up, unless it's in the context of uplifting LeBron(essentially a lesser Pippen).
Exactly Love went from a 20-20 machine with range, essentially Jokic without the playoff runs. Bosh is an after thought/role player on a near dynasty and Westbrook gets crushed 10 times more than he already had, even though he was a key to OKC even having a winning culture(even without the championship; 4 WCF).
Come to think of it, Leflop twisted that shit even more, came over as “the help” supposedly and yet during the podcast with JJ Redick he said they lost in 2011 because there was not enough help. Leflopportunist truly is a LeBlame artist with no accountability
@@alfasiger4178 Exactly that bum loss 2011 finals. Wade & Bosh showed this tournament goat averaged 3 ppg for the series in the 4th Quarter. They had a 2-1 lead an his play was the main reason they blew that lead in 6, same with 2015 up 2-1, same with 2021 vs PHX up 2-1. Every time he chokes the media hides it better than anything in the sport an they'll in return over hype empty stats, every time this bum breaks a record or set a milestone his team loses. He reminds me of a star from the 60s who also cared about stats.
@@KingBreeze07 I'm guessing the 60s star referral is Wilt. Big time stat padder. Yeah, a further look into this reveals that Wilt only started winning when he learned to actually use team ball and passing. He is a post season under performer as well, and a ball hog. You forgot about the 2007 finals when lebron was 22ppg on 35%FG. What no one notices is how good players are bad when playing with lebron. JR Smith was better in New York Love was better in Minnesota Kyrie does not want to play with Bron ever. And Diangelo Russell was better before the Lakers. These players have to sit on the perimeter and wait to shoot. They sacrifice their play style in order to coordinate with Bron. Making them look bad. Why was Kyrie and Love all-stars right before and right after they joined lebron in Cleveland? Because lebron is so ball dominant, they don't get that much touches.
Holding people hostage? How? Unless your talking about carrying them to the finals every year, or making them playoff contenders, then yea you'd be right. Other than that, stop being an idiot.
Jordan (and as big a fan as I am of his also acknowledge that he was not a nice guy) at least gave credit to his teammates. LBJ goes on a podcast and blames his teammates for his failures. You can see many people in the league do not trust him.
100%! Jordan wanted to win and if you did too then he always defended you. Lebron takes all the credit from his teammates and throws them under the bus.
The media doesn't scrutinize LeBron, at least not to the degree he deserves. More often it enables him, fawns over him, covers for him, and allows itself to get played by him.
That's why his best friend is his agent and he turned clutch sports into it's own media control team, many analysts on the clutch payroll. So when u look back it makes sense why even at 40 he's making money hand over fist from endorsements and still wants max contract dollars. He's got a ton of minions to keep paid.
Lebron Stan’s new excuse for Lebron’s Finals losses is he didn’t have a hall of fame coach. Lebron doesn’t listen to his coaches. The coaches are for his teammates not for him. This is why who coaches him is a moot point. Lebron “is a system” remember.
LeBron had a HOF coach but he chose to leave because of his impatience. Erik Spoestra is a HOF coach. He was literally a part of the NBA's top 15 coaches of all time list during their 75th anniversary. Instead of staying with Miami to build up continuity and the Heat culture he left the moment his two HOF teammates started to slow down. Him leaving after 4 years shows his commitment to the Heat was conditional on everything being perfect despite promising "not 1, not 2, not 3...not 7" championships. LeBron doesn't ever want a strong HOF HC because they implement their systems. LeBron wants to be the System. Say whatever you want about MJ but he was willing to change his game, sacrifice his individual numbers and shelf some of his ego in order to make Phil Jackson's system work and it helped lead to arguably the greatest Dynasty in modern NBA history. Everyone knows that's not what happens with LeBron post his first stint in Cleveland. He wanted Spoestra out. Coaches and players are brought in to work around making LeBron look better. If LeBron was on the 96 Bulls Dennis Rodman would have less rebounds than him because he wouldn't be used to maximize what makes him special. LeBron fans don't get to use the HOF excuse because he left the best coach he ever had when some adversity set in and he's always wanted weak coaches who are there to keep others in line but weak enough to never question him and take all the blame for the teams failure.
Phil Jackson had ZERO experience as a head coach when he took on the Bulls... Imagine leBum on that roster instead of MJ .... Phil jackson would be sacked after one year and leBum would be losing the finals year after year 🤣🤣
@@tmoney360 Yup... imagine LeBron and Butler as your 2 and 3, with Herro and Bam Adebayo 😅😅😅 but leBum being who he is, he started crying and bailed out
They forget Phil was a rookie coach like Spo when he coached Chicago. He became a HOF coach just like Spo will because MJ didn't throw his coaches undee the bus. He didn't get fired. In fact MJ retired because they fired him. Lebron is the anti goat
Poor, simpleminded Lebron. He learned the art of the narrative from Nike and especially, ESPN. He only operates from the media now. His play is a mirage. He gets his numbers and leaves his teammates to deal with the weight of the loss. It’s the ugliest era of sports EVER!!!
After 2016, seeing LBJ get swept in the Finals the next two seasons was basketball gold. And to have it happen in the playoffs the past two years to the Lakers by the Nuggets was icing on the cake.
I watched NBA again in 2017 after being unable to do it between 2012 and 2016. I never understood why Lebron is considered the goat because he's always losing, has a bad attitude and is clearly playing for his stats and not winning
Wow, strange coincidence. If that's all stress related from playing with LeBron James, if I were them, I would sue him. In the case of Chris Bosh, if proven, it cost him a career and his long term health.
@@seanswinton6242it definitely is stress related. I watched a RUclips channel that made that connection and I see it for myself too. DaTruth683, he is not very big but hey you could say he was spot on.
No, that title belongs to MJ who was a classic bully - even hitting team mates, calling them derogatory nick names and throwing them under the bus during press conferences. MJ was a fantastic player, but a lousy team mate.
The nonsense that some people spout that LeBron makes his teammates better is the biggest lie in sports history… He makes them worse, gets them traded or throws them under the bus!
agreed, whilst also claiming Jordan didn’t do so. It is universally accepted he set the standard at the bulls and treated every training like it was game 7, giving 100% effort every single day. With zero compassion and no excuses he demanded the same from his teammates. If you could handle it (I admit I couldn’t) this won’t just make you a better player, it will literally make you the best you could possibly be
no. wade was a fake finals mvp. living off what the leauge gave him for free. sorry you dont need to up wade to tear down bron. tey both are roid buddies, who got pampered by the leauge. open your eyes and stop romanticising the douche called wade. or are you afraid he will get the foul call for you not talking nice about him?
I don’t believe for a second that LeBron wanted Westbrook for winning. He knew that Westbrook was a bad fit, the West was stacked, he was coming off of a couple injury riddled seasons, he was close to breaking the scoring record, and thus he could strategically put up numbers on a bad team and not get blamed (Westbrook and Vogel would take the heat). There is zero way LeBron thought Westbrook was a good fit for a championship team with him.
I would argue LeBron's not smart enough to know a good fit. I think this is basically too smart of a take. If you have experience with narcissists it becomes clear they don't really think.
I agree.. Even the talking heads on ESPN (whom I can't stand) said that Westbrook wasn't a good fit because both him and lebron's playing style is basically identical.
True, LeBron is a narcissist but damn if he isn’t strategic too. He’s literally team hopping because he’s smart when it comes to taking the easiest & least competitive way “to the top”. The league, the media, and teams keep giving him power. LeBron has signed numerous 1 + 1 deals, sent passive aggressive tweets, sat out certain games, faked injuries, gotten coaches fired, stat padded, etc. all out of strategy. The Westbrook move was strategic. If it succeeded he would get the credit. If it didn’t work (which damn near everyone said it wouldn’t) the media and the public wouldn’t blame him. Dude was a great player but from the outside looking in he wouldn’t be someone I’d f#ck with. You can’t trust him or his motives.
@@toasty862 lebron has a management. just saying. do you really believe mr low iq is capable of orchestrating the shitshow lemedia is giving us? its rich paul. he is the puppeteer and balco is just a giant empty vessel.
Haslem was a decent role player so the queen and his dark cloud didn't hurt UD like that. Plus the queen won't even think about going at Haslem. Lebronze picks and chooses who to target and since UD wasn't a target and his game didn't need to fit around the queen, he's fine. Go ask Chris Bosh or Kevin Love what it's like to play with him...
I feel really bad for what happened to Coach Blatt. That was the first example of Lebron being called a coach killer. At that point, he purposely held franchises in chokeholds just for his own biddng. He couldn't do it with Pat Riey, so he made sure he would do it on every other team he'd sign with. And I remember that interview when they asked Kyrie if Lebron was like a father figure to him. Kyrie directly said: "I already have a father." Lebron is the textbook example of how NOT to have an NBA career because when his fans look back on the years? They'll realize this man is not a Top 5, 10 or 20 player.
@ShawnReed-ny1hd trust me, they chucked the first few coaches being fired to Dan Gilbert. It was when Blatt got fired that people globally realized Lebron was behind those firings.
I will always respect Pat so much for not bending the knee to lebron. He knew MJ well and had a real one in miami named Wade. This Lebron nonsense probably annoyed him.
I understand the Bosh spice name at the time. Once Bosh said that, skip apologized and never said it again, that’s all you can do. He was basically saying he was a backup 3rd mic singer in a group.
LeBron makes his teammates worse....If they select the coach out of UCONN, he should regularly be telling LeBron "I'm the coach, and you are a flopping, crybaby....I'm going to put you on the bench....The team is better when you are on the bench, you flopping, crybaby....I am the coach of this team, not you. Have a seat on the bench." 🤣😂🤣
Jeanie Buss, Rob Pelinka, the new HC (other than JJ Reddick LeBrons domesticated punching bag) they all need to grow a pair of balls and tell LeBron to shut up and play basketball IF NOT you can walk go play in Detroit or Portland (where I think Bronny will be drafted) and we can go get DMitch and keep being a good team. It’s like the Lakers front office think LeBron is their only option. They need to understand they are the LAKERS, your options are everyone in free agency you rightfully have first pick because you have the most money
@@TheRealMindCrime Yeah, hopefully he turns down whatever "mega deal" they try to lure him with....The only good thing about LeBron playing next season is he will become the all time leader in missed shots 🤣😂🤣 After his first game, he will get that (most likely, if he doesn't decide to shoot less than normal, to delay the inevitable.... Because he's just 6 missed shots away) Then maybe when he flops he will get injured and his career come to an end due to a flopping injury 🤣😂🤣
I'll say it like this, LeBron should be one of the most celebrated players in history, but his personality, idiotic statements, and terrible behavior have ruined his reputation. The biggest difference between him and MJ is the fact that MJ was coachable and LeBron is not. It is reason why MJ has 6 rings and LeBron has six finals losses.
Lebron's game is overrated. If his travels and carries were called he would have 10000 career Turnovers. He is absolutely the most overrated player in the history of the NBA skills wise. He would have been a great slasher or traditional small forward but his need to play point guard in his AAU middle school offense made his game actually become worse as each year went by.
It's not only that! Lebron never developed the skills of MJ, Kobe, Larry, Magic and many more. People talk about killer instinct/mentality like it is an alien form of life when it is not! You get that when you have skills and then develop the trust in those skills! When your only move you feel confident in is head down drive to the rim and you get doubled and forced the error(especially when you don't have the dribble and footwork) or missed shot a good amount of times you start to doubt the efficacy of that "skill" as well. So how can you take over a game when it matters most when you don't trust your limited set of skills? And anyone may praise Lebron, I will stay true to what my eyes saw in almost 40 years of watching the NBA, compared to other greats he has the smallest bags of skills! I do agree that a player of his physique should have accomplished way more, but it is on him for not putting the effort and time to develop skills! But that's part of today's spoiled mentality: kids should be celebrated for every time they do number two in the potty instead of the diaper and Lebron is a product of that!
The big giveaway that LeBron isn't coachable is his postup game. It's really generally effective, but really basic. Compared to Jordan or Kobe, LeBron's post up game is middle school while theirs is post-doc.@@robertw174
As soon as he made “the decision” he turned the league and its media into a soap opera or even a reality tv show its all just “poor me” and “how is this fair” 😂
@@TheRealMindCrime Its like watching the kardashians of the NBA its pretty tragic but question whats your take on jj redick being the coach you think easy fall guy situation again bron cant be there much longer lol
Leflop's stans: just look at the teams after he left how bad they were without him Real NBA fan: look at the disastrous decisions and roster changes because of Lebron that incapacitated the merchandises and actually doomed them for years
A great leader would have taken a small hit to their personal stats to help the other stars and role-players fit in and contribute to the success of the team. A terrible one takes all the great players and forces them to be a role-player in their prime and still tries to pad their own stats. Kobe and Jordan’s stats dipped when they were winning championships compared to when they carried alone. That’s buying into a system that leads to consistent winning. Lebron’s the greatest ring-chasing mercenary.
What’s funny is Kobe had crap players in 2009 and 2010 yet beat both teams that kicked LBJ out of the playoffs 🤷♂️. A young Leonard was so threatening that LBJ had to jump ship again, then GSW were such a threat that he needed to seek help as per usual - by now people can see the common denominator in why LBJ teams fail…..
And remember, Ex Bulls GM Jerry Krause said himself, MJ NEVER EVER came to him during his seasons with the Bulls, to ask for any draft, any trades or recruit any one to the Bulls, All that trade happens within the management and coaches, MJ never try to play or influence any decision making, at all!
Absolutely. He had more respect than Lebron. He let his coaches coach. GM mange. And owner do his thing. Only time he chimed in was at the end and rightfully so when he said if you fire my coach I'm gonna retire. And he did it cuz he sticks up for his guys.
You know what’s funny? Everyone talks about pippen being great for Jordan, but pippen was not as good as Kevin when he got to the league. Kevin was a beast. Pippen had to become one of the
Dude. Pip was my second favorite pkayer growing up but even I csn admit that Love, Wade, Kyrie, and AD would've helped MJ out a lot more than him. Lebron had it easy with these stars surrounding him.
The media has been covering for Lebron since the beginning. I remember in 2005 or 06, ESPN published an article heavily criticizing him. Lebron didn’t like it and ESPN promptly took it down so that they didn’t upset their cash cow
Everywhere this goofball goes, trades get made, picks get depleted. Look at the bullshit trades Cleveland had to make both times he was there. Unsustainable long term. He's no genius
It's always funny to me hearing LeBron's fans: He never requested a trade. And my reply to shut them down is: Yeah, left in Free Agency every franchise after drown them out and left with nothing. He's a great player, but mentally toxic. When his teams win: it's him When his teams loose: it's others.
I think the most telling thing about LeBron James is the vast difference in how he's viewed by his peers within the basketball community Vs how hes viewed by the male groupie fanboys. When he wins you freakish maggot Fkboy its because Ray Allen or Kyrie Irving saved him you slow fkboy and if its not that its because his teams were "super" Bih
Thank you! All it takes is a laptop and microphone to start. My early vids were terrible quality til i figured it out lol. If you enjoy it then its worth it. I never thought about making a penny when i started and still have thay mentality that i would keep doing this for free.
Shaq? I guess. There are a few reasons for his departure though. You could start with the fact Orlando was a small place for a personality as big as Shaq with everything he had going on at that time. He obviously has an ego so the tandem of he and Penny became toxic as to whose team it was. Shaq wanted to get paid as his free agency was coming up and the Magic couldn't get a deal done. And don't forget the Jordan factor. After the Magic beat Chicago in 1995, The Bulls were on a mission the next year in 1996. Shaq and the Magic were swept. You think he wanted to stay in the East with Jordan coming back? Hell no...
@mpound97 Definitely agree on Orlando, I meant more his time in LA. The instances when he threatened to have Kobe traded when they were having their beef, whining/using innuendo with the media when he wanted something. That sort of stuff. But Shaq didn't abuse the power to the same degree LBJ has.
You know. Now that years have gone by amd shaq talks about his career it sounds like he caused problems pretty much everywhere he played for. He was on his best behavior in Orlando and Cleveland lol
10:01 His patented "oh shit I can't shoot and they locked me up pass." which people claim Lebron makes teammates better because he passes. He does this so many times. Even in the All star game when Kobe guarded him 1v1.
Oh for sure! Lebron would be gone! Delivering 1 ring after they blew up the whole team for him multiple times? He'd say goodbye and good luck...away from LA.
Great video!! A couple of things: 1. One of the narratives that’s barely mentioned about Kyrie’s split from Cle is LeGM. After the 2016 season (when they won the title), it was rumored that LBJ was trying to get CP3 to come to Cle. Then after the 2017 season, allegedly Kyrie was frustrated by both LBJ’s lack of commitment to the team & also there was a deal in place to trade Kyrie, Frye, & draft picks for Eric Bledsoe (a Klutch client), & PG13. In fact, PG13 recently said on his podcast that he really thought he was going to Cleveland while he was in OKC & even met w/ LBJ. So those factors led to Kyrie demanding a trade to get out of there. 2. There’s this false narrative that LBJ makes his teammates better, when in fact if u look at the stats, that’s not true. Wade, Bosh, Love, even AD have had to sacrifice their games, their stats to play w/ LBJ. Meanwhile w/ MJ, Pippen got better year to year, so did Grant, & Armstrong. Steve Kerr’s best yrs were in Chicago w/ MJ, so was Luc Longley. So while it’s true LBJ is scrutinized by the media, the media for the most part also covers for him, create talking points & slant narratives to elevate him to GOAT status, while hiding other details.
Let's see if I can make sense of what I'm thinking: Players like MJ, Kobe, Magic, etc. just want a team with players that are willing to contribute to win and if everyone gives the effort to that common goal they might win it all. With the understanding that is not going to be easy nor quick. Players like LeBron want teammates that can make it easier to win a championship, but at the same time he wants to be the one with the best stats (not the best player). I can't name any other player of that caliber that operates this way.
Ppl forget that kyrie signed that cavs extension early cuz he was insure that bron wasn’t coming back to Cleveland..then after he signed it bron came back that summer
I'm sorry, I got Jebron Brain. But it just dawned on me. Angry Old Hoops and you are two different people....yes I thought you had like 2 channels going or something....I just found y'all speaking truth about a month ago or so...😂😂🤯🤯🤣. You guys do sound similar. Love the channel!
If bosh and love stay with their tor and min. They will be remembered great players of both team. Now anyone remember who they are... As a celtics fan i still remember the towel boy. Ml carr...
had to come back and watch some of your older stuff. I found something you may be interested in; The guy's channel is named Kory Garvon and the video is MJ Dominates D1guys in 1998. its a rare footage game.
Everyone in the league from players, to coaches, to GM’s they all were grown men acting like grown men, didn’t cater to the players, just told them do you job. I remember hearing Jordan speak his mind about Jerry, didn’t send no cryptic message. Now we got nothing but divas in the league.
This entire league is horrible. I've been watching this year's playoffs for the first time in a decade, and the game looks like it is in slow motion. Guys are carrying the ball by holding it to change direction. The only people moving are those who are close to the ball. Luka is carrying the ball about 3 times per possession. I'm surprised Game 2 is today. Why not give them another day off. I watched some of Game 1 and saw Game 2 is 3 days later. I thought okay, a little time to travel. They're still in Boston! These guys get paid tens of millions per year to play. When you sign up to play a sport at the professional level, you sign up for wear and tear to your body. This league is a panty basketball league.
The media scrutinizes LeBron, but the other half of the media excuses everything he does. The young, inexperienced coach who had won a title a few years before? Really LeBron?i find it funny that people critisize the style of MJ, but look how LeBron acts when his team isn't winning. I disagree that LeBron was the unquestioned best player when he got to Cleveland
I always wondered why they got rid of Caruso. That guy is probably my favorite player that lebron traded away. I hate the 2020 chip, but he was one of their best contributors with his suffocating defense and smart passes. Would love to see a reaction to Alex Caruso, some entertaining videos of him. Keep up the great reactions, much thanks. 😉🙏
I saw this great video where MJ the Real GOAT ignored LBJ.... didn't acknowledge him and just past right by him and started shaking other players hands.
Hahaha. Seriously. I also respect that he never threatens to leave and never throws his team under rhe bus. He didn't want coach Jackson fired and still stands up for him while also never trash talking Kerr. Good man.
Great video, I think the easier argument for Jordan v Lebron, even excluding the difference in eras, would be a career swap, if Jordan played with lebrons career teammates & lebron played with Jordan’s teammates, Jordan would have 10 rings with all those all stars to play with and Lebron would have maybe 2 with Pippen, Rodman & Kukoc not to mention Pippen and Lebron would never have worked together.
22:17 I remember that like it was yesterday. Embarrassing that a player of caliber and standing just gives up when things don't go 100% his way. In the 18/19 season, the Lakers were 20-14 when he got injured. When he came back, they they were still in the mix to get to the playoffs. LeBron said he will be "activating playoff mode early" and those were the efforts he was putting in
Thanks cameron. It's always awesome to win one for the team that drafted you. Sticking through the good and the bad then eventually climbing to the top is what I love about team sports.
Stop it. Jordan is posting those little cats up. Since the queen has no post game, he could barely score on them. And he's supposed to be the goat? 😂😂😂😂😂
I get the whole angle of this channel and those supporting it is a strong dislike for bron but be realistic for the entirety of that series barea was switched onto him for a total of 6 possessions(not even full possessions) and he was never defended by a single defender. Always had 2 players heavily in the gap and chandler a step away from the paint. The entire focus of the mavs defense was to funnel Bron into multiple defenders to give the ball up to his teammates for them to beat them it worked. I’m not saying bron didn’t underperform to his standards but some valuable context is purposely left out or in a lot of cases unknown because people don’t know how to break down film or understand what’s actually happening on the court.
How is it that the video started by saying Lebron is the "most scrutinized" player, but throughout the video all we saw was Lebron's teammates being scrutinized? The only loss most people put on Lebron was the 2011 loss, everybody tried to rewrite history for his other losses, especially the 2007 finals. Most of the scrutiny that came Lebron's way was his own doing, not anybody else. Anyone remembered him calling out "haters" after he lost the 2011 finals? That's probably the peak of Lebron hate, and he has nobody to blame but himself.
Agreed! He called himself the king. He got a tattoo saying chosen. And he calls himself the goat to the public. He opened the door to this kind of analysis.
Thank You !!! You are the first person ive heard adress the issue with De Angelo Russell He has good games when he is allowed to control the flow but when that happens Le bron takes over the ball dominance the next game and De Algelo looks like crap .. Not Saying Russell is a world beater or that he doesnt have flaws but its pretty clear he (Lebron) does not make his team mates better thru the way he plays .
Correction. You don't play WITH lebron. You play for lebron. Coach and teammates....correction....puppet coach and scapegoats. 😂 Everyone surrounds him to shield him from blame and accountability.....involuntarily. 😂😂😂😂
The most damning evidence is the reputational hits taken by Chris Bosh and Kevin Love. Both of them were multiple-time All-Stars, and in Kevin Love's case, a perennial all-NBA performer. Look at their legacies now in the eyes of Bron stans-they've been reduced to third-wheel role players who weren't good enough. I especially feel bad for Love because he was basically taken out of his natural position and told to stand in the corner, when he had been a force of nature as a true PF all the way from high school to UCLA to Minnesota.
Exactly why superstars that play with Lebron kills their career for as long as they’re with him.
I hate the "he elevates his teammates" narrative. Not accurate at all.
Anthony Davis next. 1 of the only bigs who can score 30 with elite defense but nope LeBronze fans need more help.
@@KingBreeze07 Elite defense in this league lol. AD is definitely amazing but that's not the argument you want to go for in this FT merchant era and no hand-checking.
But they both won championships though…. and are millionaires basketball is a team sport… the teams they played prior to lebron were very mediocre or below average
My biggest problem is when he wins it's all about him. "That one right there made me the greatest player of all time." When he loses it's all about how "We didn't have enough."

Before Dirk won the championship here are his accomplishments - he won the MVP, he's been in the WCF twice and the Finals once and a bunch of 50-60 win seasons and playoff appearances. Dirk was already HOF material even before 2011, so saying that Dirk did not take winning seriously before 2011 is a bad take.
The problem is as simple as you dont play with lebron you play for him
Facts! Well said
It's crazy how his fans will applaud his ability to have the level of control he does over the roster but then will flat out refuse to hold him accountable in any way when the team doesn't succeed.
They didn't lose that game because of JR Smith, LeBronze QUIT!
Exactly. The game still had an overtime period but the queen had already packed it in...
Exactly! They had 5 more mins to get it done but he quit. I thought he said he was the goat? So why didn't he win it for his team? Lol phony goat.
Bro! Instead of him being a leader he believes he is and telling Jr not to worry about it and keep his head in the game, he does the complete opposite and not only shuts himself down but everyone else around him as well!! I couldn’t believe what I was seeing! I’m not the best teammate on the court but even I would’ve been like “don’t worry it about we good we got a whole nother quarter to make it happen we got it baby!!” What a diva that ‘grown man’ is😂😂

I prefer Jordan or Kobe’s approach, be upfront and call someone out in person if necessary. That is why I would never allow a camera team in the training facility or at a practice, what is being said or done there is only for the team to know. Not this passive aggressive shit of saying something on Twitter for the world to see but keep it as vague as possible so you can deny it just in case you get called out. I will never respect that approach because it is a bitch move.
Absolutely, I'm 53, that's how it was growing up playing sports in my day
I agree. Lebron acts like buddies to their face but behind the scenes is trying to get them traded or fired. Kobe amd MJ said it to their face in practice so they were ready for rhe game
@@TheRealMindCrime yeah that is something I did never understand. You don't need to be friends on or off the court, just play together as a team regardless of what you think about the other person. The main goal of any organization is to put together the best pieces to compete, MJ made it work with Dennis because he knew he was a fitting piece for the 96,97 & 98 Bulls. Kobe had issues with Shaq and did even fight with him over his work ethic and they got 3 chips out of it.
People also play to the camera. You don’t get any real emotions or reactions when a camera is in your face.
I could never throw a teammate under the bus even if LeBron is on my team. I'd rather call him out on the court and 1 on 1 in private
James signs his boys for a multi-year deal. Meanwhile, he signs a year deal where he can just up and leave his "boys" 😂😂😂
Yes!!! ☝️
People forget that bron put that pressure on himself when he said that he was chasing Jordan. That tends to get left out.
To me he can never match Jordan. He just has wandered the league trying to get a championship.
He can never match what Jordan did.
dont forget all the rings that was stated when he went to Miami
He did everything to himself because he can't keep his mouth shut. He loves the attention good or bad. Good, of course he'll take the credit. Bad, someone else will get blamed or he'll have his PR team and lemedia try to extinguish the flames while he comes up with something else to take the attention away from that. He can't help himself...
LeBALCO fans are the ones that put high expectations while other nba fans/LeBrick haters don't really care for him to succeed or not, then when Lebum loses they project to the rest of the fan bases saying we shouldn't expect much since he's old or has no help. His fans are just like him, they put expectations up for their king and then play the victim when he doesn't meet them.
You put pressure on yourself when you call yourself the King
Interesting fact: just recently lebozo whined about not playing with Kyrie, how great he is. Well, how disrespectful it is towards his current teammates, like AD or Reeves...
After trying to get him traded for PG or CP3... if I'm AD, I'd try and get the Lakers to push LeBron out. Firstly, by not drafting his son and not hiring the coach he wants.
The queen gets that feminine energy going and starts to lay the contradictions out like we don't know what REALLY went on. Kyrie don't want nothing to do with that guy. They call KD a snake but the queen is even worse imo...
Plus 1 for "leBozo"
I loved Kyrie's response to it. "Lebron is great at creating a media storm" lol
@@soonerintexas.3845ad does not have more power than lebron so he couldnt do this, the most he could do is leave

Ya the treatment he got was crazy and noone ever brings it up I think Blatt would've been a good coach but I think lebron effectively black balled him out the league lol
Yup. Lebron only plays the Lebron offense and gets coaches fired if it doesn't work.
Of course not he can't pad his stats if he plays in an actual offense. One of LeFlop fans favorite things to say is he never had a hall of Fame coach like Phil but the way LeBron operates he would have got Phil fired like all the rest of his coaches

Bosh is an after thought/role player on a near dynasty and Westbrook gets crushed 10 times more than he already had, even though he was a key to OKC even having a winning culture(even without the championship; 4 WCF).
Couldn't agree more

Wade admitted that he called up Lebron because of Kobe.

@@KingBreeze07 I'm guessing the 60s star referral is Wilt. Big time stat padder. Yeah, a further look into this reveals that Wilt only started winning when he learned to actually use team ball and passing. He is a post season under performer as well, and a ball hog.
You forgot about the 2007 finals when lebron was 22ppg on 35%FG.
What no one notices is how good players are bad when playing with lebron.
JR Smith was better in New York
Love was better in Minnesota
Kyrie does not want to play with Bron ever.
And Diangelo Russell was better before the Lakers.
These players have to sit on the perimeter and wait to shoot. They sacrifice their play style in order to coordinate with Bron. Making them look bad.
Why was Kyrie and Love all-stars right before and right after they joined lebron in Cleveland?
Because lebron is so ball dominant, they don't get that much touches.

Jordan (and as big a fan as I am of his also acknowledge that he was not a nice guy) at least gave credit to his teammates. LBJ goes on a podcast and blames his teammates for his failures. You can see many people in the league do not trust him.
100%! Jordan wanted to win and if you did too then he always defended you. Lebron takes all the credit from his teammates and throws them under the bus.
The media doesn't scrutinize LeBron, at least not to the degree he deserves. More often it enables him, fawns over him, covers for him, and allows itself to get played by him.
That's why his best friend is his agent and he turned clutch sports into it's own media control team, many analysts on the clutch payroll. So when u look back it makes sense why even at 40 he's making money hand over fist from endorsements and still wants max contract dollars. He's got a ton of minions to keep paid.
100% ☝️
You nailed it
Lebron Stan’s new excuse for Lebron’s Finals losses is he didn’t have a hall of fame coach.
Lebron doesn’t listen to his coaches. The coaches are for his teammates not for him. This is why who coaches him is a moot point. Lebron “is a system” remember.
LeBron had a HOF coach but he chose to leave because of his impatience. Erik Spoestra is a HOF coach. He was literally a part of the NBA's top 15 coaches of all time list during their 75th anniversary. Instead of staying with Miami to build up continuity and the Heat culture he left the moment his two HOF teammates started to slow down. Him leaving after 4 years shows his commitment to the Heat was conditional on everything being perfect despite promising "not 1, not 2, not 3...not 7" championships. LeBron doesn't ever want a strong HOF HC because they implement their systems. LeBron wants to be the System. Say whatever you want about MJ but he was willing to change his game, sacrifice his individual numbers and shelf some of his ego in order to make Phil Jackson's system work and it helped lead to arguably the greatest Dynasty in modern NBA history. Everyone knows that's not what happens with LeBron post his first stint in Cleveland. He wanted Spoestra out. Coaches and players are brought in to work around making LeBron look better. If LeBron was on the 96 Bulls Dennis Rodman would have less rebounds than him because he wouldn't be used to maximize what makes him special. LeBron fans don't get to use the HOF excuse because he left the best coach he ever had when some adversity set in and he's always wanted weak coaches who are there to keep others in line but weak enough to never question him and take all the blame for the teams failure.
I’ve seen that recently too. Lebron fanatics now claim MJ, Kobe & Magic had “super coaches.”😂
Phil Jackson had ZERO experience as a head coach when he took on the Bulls... Imagine leBum on that roster instead of MJ .... Phil jackson would be sacked after one year and leBum would be losing the finals year after year 🤣🤣
@@tmoney360 Yup... imagine LeBron and Butler as your 2 and 3, with Herro and Bam Adebayo 😅😅😅 but leBum being who he is, he started crying and bailed out
They forget Phil was a rookie coach like Spo when he coached Chicago. He became a HOF coach just like Spo will because MJ didn't throw his coaches undee the bus. He didn't get fired. In fact MJ retired because they fired him. Lebron is the anti goat
I love that Laker fans cheered ,"Lebron's going to trade you" when his teammates were missing free throws. Hilarious
Hahahahaha
Poor, simpleminded Lebron. He learned the art of the narrative from Nike and especially, ESPN. He only operates from the media now. His play is a mirage. He gets his numbers and leaves his teammates to deal with the weight of the loss. It’s the ugliest era of sports EVER!!!
All truth ☝️
Darko Rajaković “It’s a complete crap” I thought the same thing and had to look it up 😂
Literally just looked it up
Glad I'm not alone! Lol
"Darko Rajakovic" is Serbian for "David Blatt." 😀
After 2016, seeing LBJ get swept in the Finals the next two seasons was basketball gold. And to have it happen in the playoffs the past two years to the Lakers by the Nuggets was icing on the cake.
I watched NBA again in 2017 after being unable to do it between 2012 and 2016. I never understood why Lebron is considered the goat because he's always losing, has a bad attitude and is clearly playing for his stats and not winning
Agreed! I've been enjoying the playoffs this year so much without Lebron around.
That scene of Kuzma pushing the pathetic one to play defense has always been a hilarious one😂😂😂😂

Lebron James is a vampire to the NBA sucking all of their energy.

True narcissist. Takes something healthy then sucks it dry then leaves it broken.

The nonsense that some people spout that LeBron makes his teammates better is the biggest lie in sports history… He makes them worse, gets them traded or throws them under the bus!
agreed, whilst also claiming Jordan didn’t do so. It is universally accepted he set the standard at the bulls and treated every training like it was game 7, giving 100% effort every single day. With zero compassion and no excuses he demanded the same from his teammates. If you could handle it (I admit I couldn’t) this won’t just make you a better player, it will literally make you the best you could possibly be

Hahahaha. Good way to put it
I don’t believe for a second that LeBron wanted Westbrook for winning. He knew that Westbrook was a bad fit, the West was stacked, he was coming off of a couple injury riddled seasons, he was close to breaking the scoring record, and thus he could strategically put up numbers on a bad team and not get blamed (Westbrook and Vogel would take the heat). There is zero way LeBron thought Westbrook was a good fit for a championship team with him.
I would argue LeBron's not smart enough to know a good fit. I think this is basically too smart of a take. If you have experience with narcissists it becomes clear they don't really think.
I disagree
I agree.. Even the talking heads on ESPN (whom I can't stand) said that Westbrook wasn't a good fit because both him and lebron's playing style is basically identical.
True, LeBron is a narcissist but damn if he isn’t strategic too. He’s literally team hopping because he’s smart when it comes to taking the easiest & least competitive way “to the top”. The league, the media, and teams keep giving him power. LeBron has signed numerous 1 + 1 deals, sent passive aggressive tweets, sat out certain games, faked injuries, gotten coaches fired, stat padded, etc. all out of strategy. The Westbrook move was strategic. If it succeeded he would get the credit. If it didn’t work (which damn near everyone said it wouldn’t) the media and the public wouldn’t blame him. Dude was a great player but from the outside looking in he wouldn’t be someone I’d f#ck with. You can’t trust him or his motives.

Said no player ever if they really mean it.
Haslem was a decent role player so the queen and his dark cloud didn't hurt UD like that. Plus the queen won't even think about going at Haslem. Lebronze picks and chooses who to target and since UD wasn't a target and his game didn't need to fit around the queen, he's fine. Go ask Chris Bosh or Kevin Love what it's like to play with him...
Exactly. Not 1 player enjoyed their time with him.
I feel really bad for what happened to Coach Blatt. That was the first example of Lebron being called a coach killer.
At that point, he purposely held franchises in chokeholds just for his own biddng. He couldn't do it with Pat Riey, so he made sure he would do it on every other team he'd sign with.
And I remember that interview when they asked Kyrie if Lebron was like a father figure to him. Kyrie directly said: "I already have a father."
Lebron is the textbook example of how NOT to have an NBA career because when his fans look back on the years? They'll realize this man is not a Top 5, 10 or 20 player.
No he was a coach killer before that..he had like 2 or 3 coaches in his first Cleveland stint,then went to Miami and tried to get spo fired
@ShawnReed-ny1hd trust me, they chucked the first few coaches being fired to Dan Gilbert. It was when Blatt got fired that people globally realized Lebron was behind those firings.
I will always respect Pat so much for not bending the knee to lebron. He knew MJ well and had a real one in miami named Wade. This Lebron nonsense probably annoyed him.
I understand the Bosh spice name at the time. Once Bosh said that, skip apologized and never said it again, that’s all you can do. He was basically saying he was a backup 3rd mic singer in a group.

I have gone beyond hate that Flop I hope him out of the league he only wants propaganda.
LeBron makes his teammates worse....If they select the coach out of UCONN, he should regularly be telling LeBron "I'm the coach, and you are a flopping, crybaby....I'm going to put you on the bench....The team is better when you are on the bench, you flopping, crybaby....I am the coach of this team, not you. Have a seat on the bench." 🤣😂🤣
Jeanie Buss, Rob Pelinka, the new HC (other than JJ Reddick LeBrons domesticated punching bag) they all need to grow a pair of balls and tell LeBron to shut up and play basketball
IF NOT you can walk go play in Detroit or Portland (where I think Bronny will be drafted) and we can go get DMitch and keep being a good team.
It’s like the Lakers front office think LeBron is their only option. They need to understand they are the LAKERS, your options are everyone in free agency you rightfully have first pick because you have the most money
Oh man. That coach better stay far away from the lebron circus. He has a good career.
@@TheRealMindCrime Yeah, hopefully he turns down whatever "mega deal" they try to lure him with....The only good thing about LeBron playing next season is he will become the all time leader in missed shots 🤣😂🤣 After his first game, he will get that (most likely, if he doesn't decide to shoot less than normal, to delay the inevitable.... Because he's just 6 missed shots away) Then maybe when he flops he will get injured and his career come to an end due to a flopping injury 🤣😂🤣

Hahahaha. Lebron brings a team so much instability
@@TheRealMindCrime it’s ridiculous smh brother 👀
Lebron runs his teams like it's his own personal fantasy league.
I'll say it like this,
LeBron should be one of the most celebrated players in history, but his personality, idiotic statements, and terrible behavior have ruined his reputation. The biggest difference between him and MJ is the fact that MJ was coachable and LeBron is not. It is reason why MJ has 6 rings and LeBron has six finals losses.
Lebron's game is overrated. If his travels and carries were called he would have 10000 career Turnovers. He is absolutely the most overrated player in the history of the NBA skills wise. He would have been a great slasher or traditional small forward but his need to play point guard in his AAU middle school offense made his game actually become worse as each year went by.
It's not only that! Lebron never developed the skills of MJ, Kobe, Larry, Magic and many more. People talk about killer instinct/mentality like it is an alien form of life when it is not! You get that when you have skills and then develop the trust in those skills! When your only move you feel confident in is head down drive to the rim and you get doubled and forced the error(especially when you don't have the dribble and footwork) or missed shot a good amount of times you start to doubt the efficacy of that "skill" as well. So how can you take over a game when it matters most when you don't trust your limited set of skills? And anyone may praise Lebron, I will stay true to what my eyes saw in almost 40 years of watching the NBA, compared to other greats he has the smallest bags of skills! I do agree that a player of his physique should have accomplished way more, but it is on him for not putting the effort and time to develop skills! But that's part of today's spoiled mentality: kids should be celebrated for every time they do number two in the potty instead of the diaper and Lebron is a product of that!
The big giveaway that LeBron isn't coachable is his postup game. It's really generally effective, but really basic. Compared to Jordan or Kobe, LeBron's post up game is middle school while theirs is post-doc.@@robertw174

A great leader would have taken a small hit to their personal stats to help the other stars and role-players fit in and contribute to the success of the team. A terrible one takes all the great players and forces them to be a role-player in their prime and still tries to pad their own stats. Kobe and Jordan’s stats dipped when they were winning championships compared to when they carried alone. That’s buying into a system that leads to consistent winning. Lebron’s the greatest ring-chasing mercenary.
Exactly. Thats the difference between someone who wants his team to win vs a guy who just wants attention.
Downsides of playing with Lebron.... All the blame when they lose... none of the credit when they win.

Thanks to his dad.
What’s funny is Kobe had crap players in 2009 and 2010 yet beat both teams that kicked LBJ out of the playoffs 🤷♂️.
A young Leonard was so threatening that LBJ had to jump ship again, then GSW were such a threat that he needed to seek help as per usual - by now people can see the common denominator in why LBJ teams fail…..
Awesome comment lol. Kobe is so much better than Lebron it's crazy.
And remember, Ex Bulls GM Jerry Krause said himself, MJ NEVER EVER came to him during his seasons with the Bulls, to ask for any draft, any trades or recruit any one to the Bulls, All that trade happens within the management and coaches, MJ never try to play or influence any decision making, at all!
Absolutely. He had more respect than Lebron. He let his coaches coach. GM mange. And owner do his thing. Only time he chimed in was at the end and rightfully so when he said if you fire my coach I'm gonna retire. And he did it cuz he sticks up for his guys.
You know what’s funny? Everyone talks about pippen being great for Jordan, but pippen was not as good as Kevin when he got to the league. Kevin was a beast. Pippen had to become one of the
Dude. Pip was my second favorite pkayer growing up but even I csn admit that Love, Wade, Kyrie, and AD would've helped MJ out a lot more than him. Lebron had it easy with these stars surrounding him.
I was about to say love went into a depression and Tyrone Lou was hospitalized messing with Lebron smfh dude is super toxic and shady
Exactly! I don't like using the word toxic too much but this is the literal definition of it.
If I was the GM of the Lakers I would have traded him this season
Me too man. Me too. Don't wait for him to leave. Just do it for him lol
Who would seriously want him?
@@cindyknudson2715exactly.
The media has been covering for Lebron since the beginning. I remember in 2005 or 06, ESPN published an article heavily criticizing him. Lebron didn’t like it and ESPN promptly took it down so that they didn’t upset their cash cow
Called him the "Chosen one" his rookie year smh
Yup. The floodgates will open once he retires.
"He never cheated the Game"
Klutch Sports hates it when somebody mentions this about any player.
I've never seen anyone cheat the game more than him.
Everywhere this goofball goes, trades get made, picks get depleted. Look at the bullshit trades Cleveland had to make both times he was there. Unsustainable long term. He's no genius
Yup. And hes done it even worse to LA.
Lestreroid
LeBalco lol
Great video! I love how Pat Riley did not take his unrelenting crap. Compare how Riley feels about Lebron with how he respects and feels about MJ.
2 opposite ends of the spectrum I'm 100% sure...
Yup! Pat is a real boss
And Bird. Riley knows true quality.
It's always funny to me hearing LeBron's fans: He never requested a trade.
And my reply to shut them down is: Yeah, left in Free Agency every franchise after drown them out and left with nothing.
He's a great player, but mentally toxic.
When his teams win: it's him
When his teams loose: it's others.
Lol. He doesn't need to be traded cuz be signs his deal strategically to leave when he sucked a team dry.
I think the most telling thing about LeBron James is the vast difference in how he's viewed by his peers within the basketball community Vs how hes viewed by the male groupie fanboys.
When he wins you freakish maggot Fkboy its because Ray Allen or Kyrie Irving saved him you slow fkboy and if its not that its because his teams were "super" Bih
Bro, you and I have the exact same opinion about LeBum Shames! Love your videos and commentary. I'd love to do what you do.
Thank you! All it takes is a laptop and microphone to start. My early vids were terrible quality til i figured it out lol. If you enjoy it then its worth it. I never thought about making a penny when i started and still have thay mentality that i would keep doing this for free.
I've always believed that Shaq started this type "Player-GM" behavior & LBJ took it to its logical extreme.
Shaq? I guess. There are a few reasons for his departure though. You could start with the fact Orlando was a small place for a personality as big as Shaq with everything he had going on at that time. He obviously has an ego so the tandem of he and Penny became toxic as to whose team it was. Shaq wanted to get paid as his free agency was coming up and the Magic couldn't get a deal done. And don't forget the Jordan factor. After the Magic beat Chicago in 1995, The Bulls were on a mission the next year in 1996. Shaq and the Magic were swept. You think he wanted to stay in the East with Jordan coming back? Hell no...
@mpound97 Definitely agree on Orlando, I meant more his time in LA. The instances when he threatened to have Kobe traded when they were having their beef, whining/using innuendo with the media when he wanted something. That sort of stuff. But Shaq didn't abuse the power to the same degree LBJ has.
You know. Now that years have gone by amd shaq talks about his career it sounds like he caused problems pretty much everywhere he played for. He was on his best behavior in Orlando and Cleveland lol
Kevin Love was the biggest drop off in production I think I’ve ever seen from superstar. Went from averaging 26 to 16. 10 ppg drop is insane.
Yeah. Cuz he was a dominant post player who got stuck in the Lebron system playing as a wing shooter. Waste of his talent.
10:01 His patented "oh shit I can't shoot and they locked me up pass." which people claim Lebron makes teammates better because he passes. He does this so many times. Even in the All star game when Kobe guarded him 1v1.
Anyone with a brain knows he's "pass first" when it's suitable for him. Remember he said "I always make the right play". Dude is a clown...
Yup. The other greats find a way. Or just stop short and pull up a middy.
And BTW, Jerry Buss would NEVER.
His daughter was the NBA harlot. Out here "dating" players and coaches. Now she has to run a team and she's clueless.
Oh for sure! Lebron would be gone! Delivering 1 ring after they blew up the whole team for him multiple times? He'd say goodbye and good luck...away from LA.
Imagine Kobe posting crpytic tweets about teammates. Trump would kiss Biden on the forehead before Kobe would sink that low.
Lol so true!
Imagine telling the Feds your teammate pays off women
Great video!! A couple of things:
1. One of the narratives that’s barely mentioned about Kyrie’s split from Cle is LeGM. After the 2016 season (when they won the title), it was rumored that LBJ was trying to get CP3 to come to Cle. Then after the 2017 season, allegedly Kyrie was frustrated by both LBJ’s lack of commitment to the team & also there was a deal in place to trade Kyrie, Frye, & draft picks for Eric Bledsoe (a Klutch client), & PG13.
In fact, PG13 recently said on his podcast that he really thought he was going to Cleveland while he was in OKC & even met w/ LBJ. So those factors led to Kyrie demanding a trade to get out of there.
2. There’s this false narrative that LBJ makes his teammates better, when in fact if u look at the stats, that’s not true.
Wade, Bosh, Love, even AD have had to sacrifice their games, their stats to play w/ LBJ. Meanwhile w/ MJ, Pippen got better year to year, so did Grant, & Armstrong. Steve Kerr’s best yrs were in Chicago w/ MJ, so was Luc Longley.
So while it’s true LBJ is scrutinized by the media, the media for the most part also covers for him, create talking points & slant narratives to elevate him to GOAT status, while hiding other details.
Thank you! Good info here!
Let's see if I can make sense of what I'm thinking:
Players like MJ, Kobe, Magic, etc. just want a team with players that are willing to contribute to win and if everyone gives the effort to that common goal they might win it all. With the understanding that is not going to be easy nor quick.
Players like LeBron want teammates that can make it easier to win a championship, but at the same time he wants to be the one with the best stats (not the best player). I can't name any other player of that caliber that operates this way.
This is it 100%
Magic still says it, I'll play with any other 4 dudes as long as they want to win. Lebron needs to be carried
I really hate it when they try to elevate LeBron over Bird. Bird was THE teammate. From 1979-80 til retirement. He isn't Larry Legend for no reason.
Ppl forget that kyrie signed that cavs extension early cuz he was insure that bron wasn’t coming back to Cleveland..then after he signed it bron came back that summer
Yeah. So kyrie had no choice but to leave first before lebron abandoned the team in ashes. Which he later did.
When kyrie left lebron kept calling him ... KID , to the media ,😮
Cool stat! RMC Keep up the good work
Thank you!!!
Amazing video!
Thanks Ben!!
@@TheRealMindCrime, you're welcome!
I'm sorry, I got Jebron Brain. But it just dawned on me. Angry Old Hoops and you are two different people....yes I thought you had like 2 channels going or something....I just found y'all speaking truth about a month ago or so...😂😂🤯🤯🤣.
You guys do sound similar.
Love the channel!
😆 🤣 😂
Thanks man. Angry old hoops is awesome.
@@TheRealMindCrime And you are too brotha!!!
If bosh and love stay with their tor and min. They will be remembered great players of both team. Now anyone remember who they are... As a celtics fan i still remember the towel boy. Ml carr...
Absolutely! Both all stars back then and Love was close to mvp multiple times.
had to come back and watch some of your older stuff. I found something you may be interested in; The guy's channel is named Kory Garvon and the video is MJ Dominates D1guys in 1998. its a rare footage game.
Thank you! I watched this years ago and totally forgot about it.
Name a few players that Lebron made better? Who? Who?
Exactly. Zero
Everyone in the league from players, to coaches, to GM’s they all were grown men acting like grown men, didn’t cater to the players, just told them do you job. I remember hearing Jordan speak his mind about Jerry, didn’t send no cryptic message. Now we got nothing but divas in the league.
i agree so much with this lol
This entire league is horrible. I've been watching this year's playoffs for the first time in a decade, and the game looks like it is in slow motion. Guys are carrying the ball by holding it to change direction. The only people moving are those who are close to the ball. Luka is carrying the ball about 3 times per possession.
I'm surprised Game 2 is today. Why not give them another day off. I watched some of Game 1 and saw Game 2 is 3 days later. I thought okay, a little time to travel. They're still in Boston! These guys get paid tens of millions per year to play. When you sign up to play a sport at the professional level, you sign up for wear and tear to your body. This league is a panty basketball league.
All facts my brother I completely completely completely agree 👍🏿💯
Thank you my brother!
The media scrutinizes LeBron, but the other half of the media excuses everything he does. The young, inexperienced coach who had won a title a few years before? Really LeBron?i find it funny that people critisize the style of MJ, but look how LeBron acts when his team isn't winning. I disagree that LeBron was the unquestioned best player when he got to Cleveland
Kyrie to this day is the best player the cavs have ever seen. Imo
I always wondered why they got rid of Caruso. That guy is probably my favorite player that lebron traded away. I hate the 2020 chip, but he was one of their best contributors with his suffocating defense and smart passes. Would love to see a reaction to Alex Caruso, some entertaining videos of him. Keep up the great reactions, much thanks. 😉🙏
Thank you! Yeah they got rid of their future for lebron having a chance to win one now. Same mistake Cleveland made.
Blatt does not look like Darko, lol
True.
Lol
To me He looks like the dude from the Fab Five 😂
I saw this great video where MJ the Real GOAT ignored LBJ.... didn't acknowledge him and just past right by him and started shaking other players hands.
Curry is my hero because ruined Lebum plan of creating super team in Cleveland after he went back.
Same I love tht curry ruined his plans cuz noone really saw tht coming tht year
Hahaha. Seriously. I also respect that he never threatens to leave and never throws his team under rhe bus. He didn't want coach Jackson fired and still stands up for him while also never trash talking Kerr. Good man.
@@TheRealMindCrime you could make a video about this, that would be awesome because not a lot of people talk about this.
Great video, I think the easier argument for Jordan v Lebron, even excluding the difference in eras, would be a career swap, if Jordan played with lebrons career teammates & lebron played with Jordan’s teammates, Jordan would have 10 rings with all those all stars to play with and Lebron would have maybe 2 with Pippen, Rodman & Kukoc not to mention Pippen and Lebron would never have worked together.
Thank you!
Team work makes the dream work....after 21 years, this clown still refuses to connect the dots.
Yup. He abandons his teams. Instead of them jelling more each year it gets worse each year. Anti goat
22:17 I remember that like it was yesterday. Embarrassing that a player of caliber and standing just gives up when things don't go 100% his way. In the 18/19 season, the Lakers were 20-14 when he got injured. When he came back, they they were still in the mix to get to the playoffs. LeBron said he will be "activating playoff mode early" and those were the efforts he was putting in
For real. He's constantly throwing fits like a child out there
Ngl bro, there are a lot of real tight poontang here in south beach 😂😂😂😂
Damn man. What am I doing in AZ? 😆 🤣 😂
Agree with everything. Spot on about Dirks 1 ring gets alot of credit.
Thanks cameron. It's always awesome to win one for the team that drafted you. Sticking through the good and the bad then eventually climbing to the top is what I love about team sports.
In all fairness in 2011 JJ BAREA and JET were perennial DPOY candidates. Be fair man.
😂
Stop it. Jordan is posting those little cats up. Since the queen has no post game, he could barely score on them. And he's supposed to be the goat? 😂😂😂😂😂
😆 🤣 😂 they're half his size
@@TheRealMindCrime I was j.k
I get the whole angle of this channel and those supporting it is a strong dislike for bron but be realistic for the entirety of that series barea was switched onto him for a total of 6 possessions(not even full possessions) and he was never defended by a single defender. Always had 2 players heavily in the gap and chandler a step away from the paint. The entire focus of the mavs defense was to funnel Bron into multiple defenders to give the ball up to his teammates for them to beat them it worked. I’m not saying bron didn’t underperform to his standards but some valuable context is purposely left out or in a lot of cases unknown because people don’t know how to break down film or understand what’s actually happening on the court.
“We’re too top heavy” as he just got tt and jr insane contracts to be role players 🤣🤣
Lebalco james doesn't care about his teammates but himself
Agreed
How is it that the video started by saying Lebron is the "most scrutinized" player, but throughout the video all we saw was Lebron's teammates being scrutinized? The only loss most people put on Lebron was the 2011 loss, everybody tried to rewrite history for his other losses, especially the 2007 finals.
Most of the scrutiny that came Lebron's way was his own doing, not anybody else. Anyone remembered him calling out "haters" after he lost the 2011 finals? That's probably the peak of Lebron hate, and he has nobody to blame but himself.
Agreed! He called himself the king. He got a tattoo saying chosen. And he calls himself the goat to the public. He opened the door to this kind of analysis.
Imagin nobody know kevin love won 1 in kyries cleveland. Before that hes great in minesota... 😢😂😂
He's so disrespected it sucks. He was an mvp candidate in Minnesota every year before he fell into the Lebron trap.
Thank You !!! You are the first person ive heard adress the issue with De Angelo Russell He has good games when he is allowed to control the flow but when that happens Le bron takes over the ball dominance the next game and De Algelo looks like crap .. Not Saying Russell is a world beater or that he doesnt have flaws but its pretty clear he (Lebron) does not make his team mates better thru the way he plays .
For sure. I'm no casual. DLo plays great when he gets to play PG. When lebron is out with load management Dlo is really good.
Correction. You don't play WITH lebron. You play for lebron. Coach and teammates....correction....puppet coach and scapegoats. 😂
Everyone surrounds him to shield him from blame and accountability.....involuntarily. 😂😂😂😂
🤔🤔I wonder how many other players would of love to give king stand around the Kyle. Kuzma treatment, and just push him to do his job. 😂😂😂😂
Right? Lol
