Ever since I've watched him play for the Lakers from his rookie season, I knew that he was gonna be something special. His rookie year was inconsistent but that was expected for a rookie. His sophomore year tho, dude was LA's next star in the making. Unfortunately, they got derailed when LeBron came to LA and Ingram was traded to get AD, but it was actually good for him to continue to develop on a smaller market team. Work in silence 💪💪
that lakers trade is why i know this video is nonsense. lebron has a genius basketball IQ. if he was really going to develop into a star he never would have traded him so cheap.
@@coajdka no he wasnt. brandon ingram was cheap though. pelicans got Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, the draft rights to De'Andre Hunter, two first-round draft picks, the rights to a first-round pick swap and cash to the Pelicans. so brandon ingram was worth 1/6th of AD apparently.
Ingram literally have a top 3 midrange game in the Nba. He also doesn’t get the whistle superstars get. He’s literally the closest thing to Kd. This Pelicans team will be special!!!
For those who are new fans of his. His game took a major step this year in terms if being an all around Hooper. I think hes one of the best passing small forwards in the league, he sees the entire floor at all times and drops dimes. His defense has gotten better. The weight he put on did wonders for his game. Watch one pelicans game and you can see the entire team loves and embraces him like a true leader. They know bi is that dude. Clutch shots he was missing the last few years in crunch time hes been hittin all this year . Last 2 years there were countless games where they needed him to take over and he couldnt quite get it done. This year he did it a bunch of times. I'm talking games where hes scoring 6 or 7 straight buckets with the defense right in his grill and it dont even matter . Super star level type shit. They are 27-20 when hes played this year . They are 7-20 without him . His impact on them is bonkers . Even with CJ, when Ingram was out they've lost more than won . I'm not going to get into if bi is better than CJ, but this team functions better when bi Is the core piece and the record shows that. My only concern is when zion foes come back I really hope they dont force feed him and forget what bi gas done for this team this year. People who only watch youtube dont know but those who watch the games know how important hes been to this team
Facts...zion gotta come bk as 2nd or 3rd ball handler and just get spoon fed dunks...and work on his def..then pels for the chip....then BI come bk to my lakers
I hv much respect for him after seeing him eliminate my clippers. the thing he did it quietly. he was sinking almost every shot. he never argued wt the refs on no calls. never fought wt other players being to aggressive . even when he sat on the bench stayed quite. reminds me of Khawiis attitude. only time i heard his voice was during the interview. lets his game speak for him
I could watch this forever. I was totally happy watching NBA games as a fantasy sports guy, with no team, and no real emotion. Picked up on BI when he was a Laker. Now I'm a diehard Pelicans fan thanks to this young man.
Perfect analysis! BI is also the definition of a true leader! Unselfish, caring and willing to lead by example. Just proud to be a Pelicans fan due to the high character players on that team. Shock the world, Pels! Let's go!
As a diehard Laker fan who’s a bigger fan of Ingram than any bum on the current Lakers, he’s always had these skill sets. He’s just rarely been put into a position to do all of it. I remember in his second season, Luke Walton would start him at point guard when Lonzo or whoever else was hurt. He was like a 6-7 assists per game guy back then during those games. He was labeled as “inconsistent” for a long time, and I never agreed. The only thing inconsistent was his usage. He never went out and just played terribly. You never saw him play great, than have some 2 for 13 shooting games. Just didn’t happen. You’d see a great game followed by like a 5 for 8 shooting game. He’s always had a great feel for the game, been an efficient scorer, and an underrated defender and facilitator. He’s just finally being asked to do all of it
you make a good point, but remember also he wasn't happy in L.A. he preferred that slow easy southern style of living to the fast life.he have stated this the happiest he has been in his career and it shows
It’s strange how I hear this from Laker fans NOW. But did not see one Laker fan 3 years ago that was not happy with the trade of AD. In fact every Laker fan was gloating how they were the winners of the trade and will win multiple championships. . Now they are coming out of the woodworks ranting g about how they should have kept BI. Come on Laker fans.......
@@MrMarckeedee you think they're piss now what you think they're going to do if the FAKERS ends up with the number one pick in the draft that the Pels own in the AD trade.🤢🤮😡😡😤
Brandon been like that since Highschool. He almost exclusively ran point thru HS and won 4 state championships . The mans been a Quiet Assassin all his life . I'm so happy to see him finally shutting some of that noise up . He definitely hasn't met his ceiling like u said. Can't wait to see him get better and better. Shxxxxt , what about last night tho ?!?! Young KILLA !
Ingram is definitely on par with the elite wing playmakers , he is a great passer , he just don’t have the ball in his hands like the rest does . He could avg 8 + assist if he ran point , and Thts facts
@@jayklove2259 BI walks that special path Yin/yang energy killer with the rock as a scorer, light side as a helper/cutting/creating. Not too many players adapt this skillset. Kind of like Bird vs magic all lightside or LBJ. Lukas like cutting his path....if he goes full killer mode the rock hes throwing around is like black hole dense to guys he hasnt gotten rolling or that dont roll like that. Not a problem with team darkside like KD+Kyrie a team with them or simmons too full force is out there to do nasty things. Some ppl play do the light side fun team ball stuff...and "Minds" like to play to do something they think "others" cant. But BI has that with zion and those deep jonas pics. BI has good trust with the rock and moving it around clean AF energy to and fro then just unleashes that killer mentality. Watching tape in the lab who knows what he will become as he adapts more
He always has been able to pass since his LA days the problem was that they used him alot of the ball, he is more effective as a point forward anyone that has followed him since his rookie days knows what im saying
He right up there with the bookers Mitchell’s and brown maybe not on the level of luka Tatum or trae or ja yet but dude will be there in a year or two without a doubt
Bro Brandon has always been a good play maker he just couldn’t show case it cause he played with bron and zo. I remember watching bi in his sophomore summer league game, he was making crazy ass passes I was like “oh shit this man can pass?” Lmao yeah but now he knows to set players up and let’s not act like players that hight can do what bi is doing. the man is now one of the best all around players in the game and it’s only up from here.
So happy he’s in New Orleans. In hindsight Griffin’s (GM) trade package for AD was the best thing that ever happened to this franchise. BI by himself is a better return than AD who doesn’t do as much offensively and never passes the ball. BI is a perfect fit with Zion once he’s healthy.
I remember Ingram scoring 9 points a game rookie season and Laker fans counted him off earlier. I knew once he gained more weight and simply got a little older he’ll be okay. Wish the Lakers waited but glad he left for him and now he’s killing both LA teams every time they play each other.
BI been able to score from anywhere since his time at Kinston but his improvement playmaking-wise and the consistency/confidence he’s shown since being with NOLA is something that shouldn’t be going unnoticed
He's had Lonzo Ball as his teammate for most of his professional career. Not saying he couldn't pass before, but he and Lonzo spent a lot of time together.
@@georgeclooney6071 not sure how this correlates with B.I. picking up some passing skillsets from Lonzo, passivity and injuries aside. The two spent a lot time together. Hoping B.I.’s mid range could rub off on Zo.
Thanks lakers!!!!! and I’m gonna say it. Brandon Ingram has killer instinct. He has better handles than Durant, plays a more team oriented style. kids a hellUva player. He isn’t top5 maybe arguably not top 10 in the league. But he is very close. And he doesn’t have to be “the best player” he has to be the best team mate. And that’s bringing him success and visual notoriety. His game speaks for itself. bi wants to win. It’s not about personal glitter
And yet he got snobbed with all star selections, not once but TWICE 2 CONSECUTIVE FUKIN YEARS, HE AVERAGED MORE PPG RPG AND APG THAN ANDREW WIGGINS BEFORE THE ALL STAR. WTF?
been noticing this dude ever since the lakers dumb asses traded him, he's my fave player right now, he's a killer, nobody wanted him, and his game is dope, he drives the lane into doubles and still pulls up and gets the bucket, either that or makes a play, this guy is gonna be a problem for the league if he can stay healthy!
Another great vid 🙌 as a pelicans fan it’s tough to find good content and not typical ESPN type played out narratives. BI is the forgotten guy in the Tatum/Simmons etc. debate while playing at a similar level. The continuously improving playmaking element is a total game changer and envisioning BI/Zion pick and rolls is scary. Definitely earned a subscriber and I’m excited for more content
As a former laker fan i knew Ingram and Dlo Would be lakers in college before they emerged to become #2 picks I was extremely disappointed when Magic Johnson came into the picture i knew he was about to break it all up and guess what he did and that’s why I am a former Laker fan
Since the All-Star break, the Pelicans have been 10th in offense and 9th in defense. They're 7th overall in net rating. In addition to the improvements Ingram has made as a playmaker, I think he's also giving a lot more effort on defense. I'm not saying he's an elite defender yet, but he's playing so much better on that end than the last couple of seasons.
I’ve watched him since that laker era and the playmkaking potential was there and it was unlocked because of Luke Walton. Anytime DLO or Zo got hurt he made sure to have B.I play point. With better spacing and cutting he will get more assist. The signs were there during the all-star break of his rookie year and last two years. Crazy he first major injury was because he was training too much 🤣
There was a stretch where B.I start at pg when he was a rookie so yeah he can handle and distribute the ball very well, if they somehow found a coach where he is used like Luka and Lebron his game will elevate even more. His defense in his rookie year is also underrated. If he somehow used right by his coach and combine playmaking + defense and scoring then its gonna be scary for the league.

The Pelicans are a unit that has of right now is just a load of backups caliber dudes(although I do recognize Herbs defense, Valanciunas physicality in the paint/three point shooting, and whatever the fuck Alvarado is has solid depth guys who I think a team can use to built around star talent), CJ who’s either the best guy on the court or meh deciding on how he feels on any given moment, and finally BI. Brandon has become the life force of this team, when he plays the entire defense treats him the same way they would treat a top level superstar, and he has stepped up to the challenge and has become the face of the franchise in my eyes. Now the Pels are in the playoffs despite no Zion mostly because BI and the new coach Green. All I’m gonna say is this, it used to be that BI was seen has a secondary piece to Zion, when Zion comes back he may be the secondary piece to BI.
@@Iamhimbutyouarenot if your problem over my comment because of the last bit about BI being number one, I can explain using a video game analogy. Say your playing a RPG, most of your party sucks ass, but you got two main dudes, one is the protagonist of the game, dude does insane damage, unlimited potential, the other is really good but is just meant to be a support guy. Your in a dungeon and number one dude dies and you ain’t got nothing to heal him, you have to go through the dungeon with only number two guy and his band of useless wankers. However number two dude actually manages to take you through the entire dungeon. Because number two does it and number one doesn’t, he gets more experience then number one. So by the end of it all even when you do get number one back, number two has several more levels then number one, so has of right now number two is better and more valuable to your team then number one. Does that mean it’ll always be that way, no, number one will at some point be better. However number two is better now and when number one returns number two will be the leader wether he likes it or not. So if that was to vague and your an idiot I’ll explain it bluntly, Ingram has been the leader of this squad for so long, been the guy to bring them closer to the promise land then they ever did with Zion, so when Zion returns he will have to improve his game to match the value of BI, because right now BI is the leader of the pack. Will he always be, I dunno, but what I do know is BI plays like he wants to be the leader of New Orleans, Zion hasn’t even put an effort in talking to CJ when he got traded here and everybody pretty much agrees he doesn’t want to even play for New Orleans. Sometimes it doesn’t matter who’s better, it matters who’s the captain. And BI is the captain.
and lakers let him go hahahaha. the amount of talents lakers let go is really astonishing. lonzo and ingram. granted lonzo is blowing hot and cold but ingram has been one of the best consistent player. if they could bring him and lamelo ball to lakers by trading AD and Westbrick, well lakers will be the contender once again
That’s what is lacking. He had that 3 ball the last season and needs to work on shooting more and getting to 40 percent from there. He also needs to be faster with his ball speed and keep being aggressive all game.
@@1of1fr Gaining muscle has affected shooting.His 19/20 and 20/21 season's 3-pt shooting is ok.I hope Vogel can be hired by Pelicans to help improve everyone's defensive impact and let Green figure out how to maximize BI and Zion.
One of the players shadowed by the ja Morant hype. Compare the stats of Trae and ja. If ja would have those stats, he will win the MVP award. Thx to his hype and hairline. Don't understand this mainstream controlled NBA
33% 3PT shooting is mathematically the same as 50% 2PT shooting. Thus, I don't see why people complain about such "poor" 3PT shooting when 50% 2PT shooting is perfectly reasonable.
They should trade either him or Zion. The more things are centred around BI the better he is, and we've seen the more they put the ball in 'Point Zion's' hands the better Zion is and worse Ingram gets. They both have immense trade value and can be used to acquire better fitting pieces.
Laker fans really think he'd develop this way under LeBron and AD lol not to mention he probably wouldn't have stayed even with a ring the man has said he wanted to be a primary scorer not someone who shots 3s in the corner 😂🤣

B.I is KD 2.0 coming into his own.literally our own pelican
He’s not better than kd..
@@hamedhinston3730 when did I say he was?
@@yungxtsunamiyt8996 2.0 usually imply the better version of the original..if he’s KD 2.0 coming..you basically saying he’s better than kd ..I’m just going based of what you say that’s all I’m doing
@@hamedhinston3730 2.0 means newer. he is currently the closest think to kd we have,doesnt always mean better.I also did say coming into his own,vro 24 kd is like 33,he got time to show what he really is
@@yungxtsunamiyt8996 nah I agree with you..he’s the closet thing to KD..he’s slept on in the sense that he’s a top 8 sf in the game ..he’s just in a small market..i outside of kd and Giannis and kawhi, what other sf is better than Ingram ..I might miss some but u get my gist
Great video Alex!
The Pelicans are a unit that has of right now is just a load of backups caliber dudes(although I do recognize Herbs defense, Valanciunas physicality in the paint/three point shooting, and whatever the fuck Alvarado is has solid depth guys who I think a team can use to built around star talent), CJ who’s either the best guy on the court or meh deciding on how he feels on any given moment, and finally BI.
Brandon has become the life force of this team, when he plays the entire defense treats him the same way they would treat a top level superstar, and he has stepped up to the challenge and has become the face of the franchise in my eyes. Now the Pels are in the playoffs despite no Zion mostly because BI and the new coach Green.
All I’m gonna say is this, it used to be that BI was seen has a secondary piece to Zion, when Zion comes back he may be the secondary piece to BI.
Doesn’t matter who’s 1st or second it’s all about the results. Bi got them to the playoffs he’s the leader
Horrible comment 😂. You hooped before? Where at?
@@Iamhimbutyouarenot if your problem over my comment because of the last bit about BI being number one, I can explain using a video game analogy.
Say your playing a RPG, most of your party sucks ass, but you got two main dudes, one is the protagonist of the game, dude does insane damage, unlimited potential, the other is really good but is just meant to be a support guy.
Your in a dungeon and number one dude dies and you ain’t got nothing to heal him, you have to go through the dungeon with only number two guy and his band of useless wankers. However number two dude actually manages to take you through the entire dungeon. Because number two does it and number one doesn’t, he gets more experience then number one. So by the end of it all even when you do get number one back, number two has several more levels then number one, so has of right now number two is better and more valuable to your team then number one. Does that mean it’ll always be that way, no, number one will at some point be better. However number two is better now and when number one returns number two will be the leader wether he likes it or not.
So if that was to vague and your an idiot I’ll explain it bluntly, Ingram has been the leader of this squad for so long, been the guy to bring them closer to the promise land then they ever did with Zion, so when Zion returns he will have to improve his game to match the value of BI, because right now BI is the leader of the pack. Will he always be, I dunno, but what I do know is BI plays like he wants to be the leader of New Orleans, Zion hasn’t even put an effort in talking to CJ when he got traded here and everybody pretty much agrees he doesn’t want to even play for New Orleans. Sometimes it doesn’t matter who’s better, it matters who’s the captain. And BI is the captain.
Notice how he does a lil “fade away” on most of his shots? Along with his enormous wingspan, it makes his shots almost “unblockable”!
really good video as usual, can you make more videos about nba teams instead of focusing on players ?
I’ve got some team videos on the way!
@@AlexHoopsperfect, big shout out from france 🙌
good work bro
37-11-9 in a win at Phoenix
I said it before I’m gonna say it again BI is a KD is the making with young raw talent
tbh hell be more than a kd with his passing
i always said my sixers shoulda drafted him over simmons we woulda been better off
This is gonna become the new generation KD-Shaq combo
and lakers let him go hahahaha. the amount of talents lakers let go is really astonishing. lonzo and ingram. granted lonzo is blowing hot and cold but ingram has been one of the best consistent player. if they could bring him and lamelo ball to lakers by trading AD and Westbrick, well lakers will be the contender once again
BI finally reached the playoffs by himself.With more triples and better defense，he will be top 10.
That’s what is lacking. He had that 3 ball the last season and needs to work on shooting more and getting to 40 percent from there. He also needs to be faster with his ball speed and keep being aggressive all game.
@@1of1fr Gaining muscle has affected shooting.His 19/20 and 20/21 season's 3-pt shooting is ok.I hope Vogel can be hired by Pelicans to help improve everyone's defensive impact and let Green figure out how to maximize BI and Zion.
Lakers should have never let Ingram go.
Ingram ran the offense at times with the Lakers he has the experience and effective
3 30 point games in a row
THE PUZZLE IS HIM
RIP the clippers
His mid range is on a Tracy Mcgrady level right now.
The next kd
One of the players shadowed by the ja Morant hype. Compare the stats of Trae and ja. If ja would have those stats, he will win the MVP award. Thx to his hype and hairline. Don't understand this mainstream controlled NBA
Ja will sell shoes
At least that's my bet
IMO, if the Pels didn't force showcasing what little of Zion was last season, BI would be further along in his progression.
I like Ingram. He can be Kevin Durant-lite. If he ever leaves the Pellicans, hpe the Heat can snatch him.
Is 2.7 tov not a lot? Especially compared to assists
33% 3PT shooting is mathematically the same as 50% 2PT shooting. Thus, I don't see why people complain about such "poor" 3PT shooting when 50% 2PT shooting is perfectly reasonable.
I been knew wsp😂🤷♂️
They should trade either him or Zion. The more things are centred around BI the better he is, and we've seen the more they put the ball in 'Point Zion's' hands the better Zion is and worse Ingram gets. They both have immense trade value and can be used to acquire better fitting pieces.
Laker fans really think he'd develop this way under LeBron and AD lol not to mention he probably wouldn't have stayed even with a ring the man has said he wanted to be a primary scorer not someone who shots 3s in the corner 😂🤣
Lebong would have ruined Brandon.
Why do we refer to Ingram’s shoeless height but we don’t for anyone else 😂
The only thing holding him back is game iq and management,
hes next KD 🤘🏻
win against first seed at their home. :)
Wish the pels kept Zo
first💪💪
Basically Kevin Durant
Knew he was good from day 1. Id trade zion before I trade ingram.
You acting like he done won a playoff game.
Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour and he is love 🙏🏾💕
One of the keys to success is being drafted and then traded by the lakers lol
He’s a B+ Durant
The KD comparisons are lazy. They have totally different play styles. 😅😂
ofc they have different play styles they are different players. but both are tall, long, skilled wings who can score from three levels.
He plays like Melo to me
@@brandongaspard1738 hell no Melo is a 1 stop shop BI set screens he make back cuts pop outs and he is a play maker… Melo was just a 1v1 scorer
I know it sounds crazy but trade Zion this team is better with cj and ingram. And you could get a ton for Zion who I bet plays a short career
It will be even better with all 3
Zion not going anywhere for a while
@@CodeineAbdulJabbar I agree but I think they would be better if they traded him.
@@CodeineAbdulJabbar Zion I bet plays four seasons of good basketball
Lakers, HUGE L for you guys here.
