Why is undisputed so OBSESSED with LeBron? like he Hasn't played a basketball game in 4 days and y'all still talking about him playing too much in the PLAYOFFS?
Markquel Smith naw their not good enough. If they play the spurs or the warriors they'll lose. but he has a chance if any other team comes out the west somehow
Warriors were supposed to destroy the Cavs last year. What happened? Anything can happen in the playoffs, don't write off a team until the series is over.
I love Bron but damn he isn't even playing right now and they've managed to make him a topic everyday. These sports shows would be nothing without him. They are way too repetitive
LeBron can take 30 games off a season, I don't care. It allows us to watch him do magical and once in a lifetime things in the post season. The dude is taking so Damn good care of his body.
Absolutely! By coach's decision, Westbrook should have played every minute (maybe 41.) In a closeout game it's you're too tired or go home. What's your choice? Explain his fourth quarter collapse? Desperation.
i feel as though Russel's customary breaks to begin with are bad, especially in the playoffs when you play the same team minimum 4 times max 7, because teams can strategize their break periods and rest their best players before russ break so they can play when he rests and go on a run. On top of that resting them late third early fourth is the worst time to rest him because that's when you need him to play at his best not as much in the first and the second. Also i would say rather than extend his minutes i would either a.) more strategically place his minutes, by say giving him an earlier breaks like right before halftime or right into the fourth quarter, or maybe by splitting up the 6 minute break he takes into 2 3 minute breaks and give him more time at the beginning of the game to compensate for the loss of consecutive time off or b.) play breaks by ear, so if you as the coach see your player is getting tired then call a sub and sit him out till he catches his breath then send him back in and do those shorter breaks more often, that way no one can plot out or predict the rest intervals.
Skip is good. He actually had Shannon defending Westbrook and how much he's done. Skip also got Shannon to highlight how easy Lebron has it with Kyrie and Love. That's exactly why he makes it to the Finals every year. He has more help in the East than anybody. Even his biggest fan is admitting it.
Skip back in those days they didn't have to think about a 7 game series...the most they played were 5 and you only had to win 3...why rest then when it's more pressure???
Lebron always said the problem isn't the minutes, it's the amount of games on the week. He already played 48 min on playoff games and came back fine. Only time I saw him "gased" was game 4 on the 2015 Finals.
For people who take these too seriously, skip's job is to trigger people. It Keeps people watching the show, keeps people oppinionated about basketball and keeps the NBA in people's mind
something russell hasn't learned yet: to pace himself. look at players like Harden, CP3, Bron etc. They know when to go full speed, when to pace the game. Russ goes full speed the whole game, he doesn't play too many minutes, he just uses all his energy in the minutes he plays
It's rare to see Shannon and Skip argue FOR REAL lol I'm used to Shannon's screams and antics and Skip's side jokes and remarks but this argument was pretty damn serious lol I felt Shannon was about punch Skip in the face.
Just 3 weeks ago everyone was mad about Lebron resting and now people is complaining about him playing too much. I swear people can't make their mind up
Skip Bayless does not have a clue about dedication and sacrifices to archive something great. I am sorry, I am incorrect, he has built a fortune by hating LeBron James, it does not matter what LeBron does, Skip will always diminished LeBron accomplishments. I am not sure if Skip knows how to dribble a basketball.. He has not clue what it takes to be legend, but he knows what it takes to become the biggest LeBron James hater in the planet...
First Take is Golden State Warriors and Undisputed FS1 is Cavs station because both of these shows only talk about these two teams smh it's many more teams.
I can't take skip seriously. he acts like he knows basketball better than anyone, being a spurs fan, yet the subtle greatness of lebron goes right over his head and he applauds westbrook because he has a pretty stat line.
skip is such a hypocrite, he complains about LeBron resting and so do other hall of famers yet LeBron knows his body best and now they agree with him. Smdh, LeBron is playing a lot of minutes but sacrificing his defense to push through these minutes until it gets close and lockdown time, that's what the pacers series proved. LeBron can flip the switch but other players can't. Skip is an idiot if he thought OKC would win more than one game against the rockets.
Shannon was right about WB.. can't expect him to play as many minutes as Lebron when he has to score a large portion of his teams points and has no reliable 2nd option.
He is playing those minutes to make his stat line better. If he played 32 minutes like most star players his stats would be like 22,6,6 instead of the insane 28,8,8
Funny when a non athlete tells a pro athlete "just suck it up" when they've never been in that situation themselves. Once you give all you have there's nothing else to draw from. Russ was tired but that's his own fault. He can have the points but he doesn't need the rebounds and getting beat up in the lane to force assists. His hero ball is what killed the team. Stop padding stats and include your team for the WHOLE game. Quarters 1-3 he's the man for assists, 4th quarter you could pay him to pass the ball. Stats show west brick jacks up more shots and passes less in the 4th. That's why they lose. Drive and kick to someone else or let kanter or Adams rebound. Direct the team don't play in spite of them.
Too much discussion about topics that don't matter. LBJ rested plenty during the regular season, finishes his Eastern Conference match-ups in 4-5 games and rests ready for the Finals. End of story, the CAVS will go to the Finals and LBJ will be fine. They have the same discussion every year, and every year it's the same story. Talk about the Clippers v Jazz series, one of the most competitive I've seen so far, talk about other teams chances, talk about what teams need to do to win (besides GSW and CLE). This stuff is too repetitive.
Shannon just kind of derailed his whole argument for why Harden needs to be MVP over Westbrook at the end when he talked about the no help Westbrook has no help
Yeah ... both of this shows are just boring, but FT is worst because at least here you don't have SAS screaming all the time everytime. Shannon gets loud but at least he knows how to make it a bit funny, SAS is just screaming like he OWNS the truth.
who thought it was gonna be like this? Question: Are the cavs playing lebron too much skip: sure, maybe but i do remember the ray allen shot that save lebrons legacy
This is classic media. If LeBron rests, they say he shouldn't because as a superstar he should lead his team and if he doesn't rest , they will say that he's playing too much. Never ending debate.
What Skip fails to realize is that Lebron is so well conditioned to take those minutes. Westbrook rarely played over 36 minutes in the regular season, and is not conditioned to play at that level for 40+ minutes. That's why even with rest, he was so atrocious in the 4th against the Rockets. He was gassed.
So in the regular season you wanted him to play instead of sitting out games even though he only sat out 5 games now you want him to play less minutes???? I'm confused.
Russ and Thunder would've still lost. Can't keep making excuses, Russ needed to rest and should've gotten his team in rhythm so that they wouldn't have seem off. Russ was playing alone for 3 qtrs so the team was confused as to what to do when they could finally share the ball.
*Correction: LeBron lead the league in "Minutes Played Per Game". Not Minutes Played. he only played 74 games. They keep emphasizing this fact that simply is not true.
Will the Cavs win the NBA Title this year?
not sure, but Joy should be on "blacked".
UNDISPUTED ON FS1 Of course ! Let's not be stupid Lebron is in his Father Prime
K5 Or a warriors Championship
Why is undisputed so OBSESSED with LeBron?
like he Hasn't played a basketball game in 4 days and y'all still talking about him playing too much in the PLAYOFFS?
he's the face of the NBA...Same thing with MJ when he was playing.
i wish i could see Lebron And Skip just Debate one day ! That would be Legendary 😂
James Harden & Westbrook #Goats it would be like Mayweather talking to Larry Merchant interview lol
Charles Rodgers na i think skip would be scared and just be humble lol he know better
James Harden & Westbrook #Goats my life would be complete then skip would finally stop being a hater
Bosh, Howard and Cuban did it. But LeBron would never, it affects his "legacy".
lebron is too sensitive to put up with skips trolling in a face to face.
"LeBron plays too many minutes!" "LeBron doesn't need to rest and doesn't play enough " make up your minds people.
They never will
Skieeeeuuuuup
BigBoss Diesel lmao
SNIFF
This show should start with that yell. :D
*Skieuping intesifies*
Ohh Marky getting old dude.
Skeeeup Logic...
LeBrons PLAYS TOOO MUCH MINUTES
Other days
LeBron should STOP RESTING....PLAY!
Offxcial Wonn LeBron don't need to play over 40 mins though
^ yeah he does...
Aaron Perry WY would he
At 15 seconds Shannon already says "Stop is Skieeyyupp" 😭😂✋ I'm done
Does this show exist witout bron?
no
MrAjbeck Nope
MrAjbeck Do you exist without your mom? No. Same here.
no and neither does skips career
No Fox Sports show exists without Lebron smh SFYS, Cowherd, Undisputed...Smh ESPN talks about more but FS1 is madd entertaining
Why is Skip talking about Russell Westbrook on a Lebron topic and then when it's not a Lebron topic they will bring up Lebron 🤔
Ty Lue took a quiet shot at the thunder.
Besides, Lebron Russ Warriors are the hottest topics in the NBA.
I've never seen this show go on without having a topic or mentioning LeBron James ...it's sad really...using him for ratings lol
+Golden Screen Warriors he's the best player in the league, you expect him to not be a talking point??
Jack Finney ok and Brady is the best in NFl
They don't talk about him every show
Then what team do you want them to talk about? The Raptors? Bucks? Utah? Lmao
Skip really about to argue with a hall of fame athlete about conditioning lol really Skip
let me guess before watching the full segment... skip is gonna find a way to bring up ray allen's shot in the finals lmao
Skip appears to be in the grip of early onset Alzheimers.
Hes actually very sharp for his age actually
Outlaw 2 actually why don't you actually Sthu actually........".
Haha I didnt even notice I put that twice, good catch lol
Outlaw 2 How old is he?
Taylor Royal 65
Shannon Sharpe with the win again lol
Mcswaggins 88 ikr
There is no skip show with out talking lebron
Stop complaining, you aren't original.
The goat don't need rest #legoat
Ink Master lol shut Up. L
Ink Master he didn't play in 14str8 playoffs
Exactly. He basically carries the whole cavs behind his back
HENAO CASTANO SANTIAGO GI you take this L
Ink Master #leflop
They can't even win Without Lebron James but his minutes numbers are dumb high but his team needs him to win. Lebron Worshipper
They're other series going on. Games last night. Talk about those.
THANK YOU! I'm so done with this show.
why is LeBron a topic on this show yet he hasn't played in 3 days
Golden Screen Warriors cus he the goat
LeBron isn't playing too many mintues, everybody else just needs to do more with the minutes they have.
are Cavs playing LeBron too much in the NBA playoffs? LMAOOO please cancel this show
Golden Screen Warriors lol fr
rite
Cavaliers Will Win Title This Year
Markquel Smith naw their not good enough. If they play the spurs or the warriors they'll lose. but he has a chance if any other team comes out the west somehow
Markquel Smith they can
as much as i hate to say it...golden state is going to run them out of the arena four nights in a row :/
Warriors were supposed to destroy the Cavs last year. What happened? Anything can happen in the playoffs, don't write off a team until the series is over.
Cavs did get destroyed last year until Lebum had his Baby Daddy Adam Silver put Draymond on Timeout cuz he hurt Lebitch Feelings!
#FACTZ
I love Bron but damn he isn't even playing right now and they've managed to make him a topic everyday. These sports shows would be nothing without him. They are way too repetitive
Damn I ain't never heard of a 38 year old player averaging 33 10 9 in a playoff series.
he will probably.
I love when shannon says "Stop it Skip!"
skip just gonna talk bad about the thunder in the next weeks
why do you guys talk about LeBron so much
Rick Grimes because he's the best player in the world
Bruce Brown that doesn't mean they have to talk about him every day
Rick Grimes Because the ratings drop when they don't talk about Lebron. Blame the fans
Skip : I don't know about the Cavs' coaching but what i do know that Ray Allen saved lebron's legacy with a miracle 3 pointer in the corner,
AGAIN!
Same topic everyday!
I'm done. ❌❌❌❌❌❌
Key word PLAYOFFS! Play til you drop!
every comments that starts with skieuuuuup gets a like, Shannon gets me every time 😂
Yea but if they keep sweeping it wont matter cuz he will have a week off between series
John Pange they not sweeping the raptors bro
9Master_Mind3 6
9Master_Mind3 jaaaaaaaaj... yeah right
LeBron can take 30 games off a season, I don't care. It allows us to watch him do magical and once in a lifetime things in the post season. The dude is taking so Damn good care of his body.
I used to play full games all the time. We only played 40 minutes games 16 times a year but i played all 40 almost every game...
I don't get it.... We would never ask this question about Kobe Magic, Bird, or Jordan when they are in the playoffs so why Lebron?
coz the league nowadays is full of pansies
the fact that people didnt ask that question but then doesnt mean that the teams didnt rest the player
Miltos Killmil in the Playoffs????
The way westbrook plays is far more tiring than any other player in the league. He most definately needs to rest
I'm no sports analyst or anything but Skip always makes me sound like a Sports genius.
Skip: Lebron looks 38. Lowkey shot to the hairline?
Absolutely! By coach's decision, Westbrook should have played every minute (maybe 41.) In a closeout game it's you're too tired or go home. What's your choice?
Explain his fourth quarter collapse? Desperation.

Don't do that Ski-up!! Ski-up!!

Skip back in those days they didn't have to think about a 7 game series...the most they played were 5 and you only had to win 3...why rest then when it's more pressure???
Shannon schooling Skip as usual...🗣skiiiieeeeep..😆
Lebron always said the problem isn't the minutes, it's the amount of games on the week. He already played 48 min on playoff games and came back fine. Only time I saw him "gased" was game 4 on the 2015 Finals.
just here to hear Shannon go skieeeeuuuuuppp
am i the only that sees skip bayless is going senile
this show is 90% Lebron talk, 5% Brady talk, the other 5% they talk either Cowboys/Romo
Three things in life that everybody can count on death taxes and Shannon saying stop it Skip 😂
For people who take these too seriously, skip's job is to trigger people. It Keeps people watching the show, keeps people oppinionated about basketball and keeps the NBA in people's mind
something russell hasn't learned yet: to pace himself. look at players like Harden, CP3, Bron etc. They know when to go full speed, when to pace the game. Russ goes full speed the whole game, he doesn't play too many minutes, he just uses all his energy in the minutes he plays
WHY DOES SKIP ALWAYS INTERRUPT SHANNON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHANNON DOSE NOT INTERRUPT HIM. IT DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
It's rare to see Shannon and Skip argue FOR REAL lol I'm used to Shannon's screams and antics and Skip's side jokes and remarks but this argument was pretty damn serious lol I felt Shannon was about punch Skip in the face.

skip has a valid point. People rip on teams and don't realize half the time it's the coach's fault
First Take is Golden State Warriors and Undisputed FS1 is Cavs station because both of these shows only talk about these two teams smh it's many more teams.
I can't take skip seriously. he acts like he knows basketball better than anyone, being a spurs fan, yet the subtle greatness of lebron goes right over his head and he applauds westbrook because he has a pretty stat line.

LeBron can flip the switch but other players can't. Skip is an idiot if he thought OKC would win more than one game against the rockets.
I don't even know why I'm still watching this show..
If Lebron one day debate with Skip Ray Allen will enter and save his legacy
The good thing about this show that you can skip Skip who talks way too much. Love Shannon!
First they complained about LeBron sitting out in the games. Now they're complaining that he's playing TOO MUCH?
Correlation doesn't equal causation. Maybe they didn't teach that at SSU
i hope skip could have a 1on1 interview with lebron.
Shannon was right about WB.. can't expect him to play as many minutes as Lebron when he has to score a large portion of his teams points and has no reliable 2nd option.
To everyone complaining about the segments...You do know you don't have to watch it. Go watch boring First take
everything skip said was 100% right on the money.
He is playing those minutes to make his stat line better. If he played 32 minutes like most star players his stats would be like 22,6,6 instead of the insane 28,8,8
Is there any day these 2 don't argue about this guy lol.
I thought Tyron lue was talking about Paul George...but he'd be wrong in that case
Sharpe all over that "NO WAY!"
Yes they r , he's only on the bench for 2min every game
Funny when a non athlete tells a pro athlete "just suck it up" when they've never been in that situation themselves. Once you give all you have there's nothing else to draw from. Russ was tired but that's his own fault. He can have the points but he doesn't need the rebounds and getting beat up in the lane to force assists. His hero ball is what killed the team.

I agree with Skip for once. Shannon is not giving Westbrook enough credit. It is game 5, you HAVE to give it your all.
When the NBA ends in June, what are they going to talk about for 2 months until the NFL starts... Dallas and LBJ every day as usual?!
remember when skip bagged on lebron for being gassed game 4 in 2015 finals, dude averaged 46 minutes a game that series, 2/3 first game went to ot
Too much discussion about topics that don't matter. LBJ rested plenty during the regular season, finishes his Eastern Conference match-ups in 4-5 games and rests ready for the Finals. End of story, the CAVS will go to the Finals and LBJ will be fine. They have the same discussion every year, and every year it's the same story.

This stuff is too repetitive.
Shannon just kind of derailed his whole argument for why Harden needs to be MVP over Westbrook at the end when he talked about the no help Westbrook has no help
getting tired of the same BS with this show
You could tell they are losing enthusiasm with these bogus topics. Now that Westbrook lost they have nothing to talk about lol
Yeah ... both of this shows are just boring, but FT is worst because at least here you don't have SAS screaming all the time everytime. Shannon gets loud but at least he knows how to make it a bit funny, SAS is just screaming like he OWNS the truth.
who thought it was gonna be like this?
Question: Are the cavs playing lebron too much
skip: sure, maybe but i do remember the ray allen shot that save lebrons legacy
The last 20 seconds explains why the thunder lost the series of what Shannon said
0:11 seconds into FS1 undisputed and chill...
Take a shot every time you hear the word "Skip"
Sharps right. Russ tried his best but he has no consistent scorer outside himself. All the other better teams in the league do. This is why he is MVP.
But if Lebron decreased his minutes Skip would start saying "Jordan never wanted to sit, this just proves Lebron is not better than Michael" 😂😂😂😂😂
Skip is right. These world-class athletes can't be expected to perform 45 minutes of aerobic activity 3 times per week? Jesus come on.
This is classic media. If LeBron rests, they say he shouldn't because as a superstar he should lead his team and if he doesn't rest , they will say that he's playing too much. Never ending debate.
What Skip fails to realize is that Lebron is so well conditioned to take those minutes. Westbrook rarely played over 36 minutes in the regular season, and is not conditioned to play at that level for 40+ minutes. That's why even with rest, he was so atrocious in the 4th against the Rockets. He was gassed.
lebron and lue are co-coaches of the cavs. they are the 2 brilliant minds of the cavs. why not?
for once I'm with skip
If there talking James being overpaid slow news day I guess
So in the regular season you wanted him to play instead of sitting out games even though he only sat out 5 games now you want him to play less minutes???? I'm confused.
Undisputed > First take
I rather have them talk about Lebron than the Cowboys but it still gets old.
Why is skip saying players don't need respect?Does he want to play over 33 minutes in the NBA
Russ and Thunder would've still lost. Can't keep making excuses, Russ needed to rest and should've gotten his team in rhythm so that they wouldn't have seem off. Russ was playing alone for 3 qtrs so the team was confused as to what to do when they could finally share the ball.
Karl malone averaged 26 at the age of 38 and he never mentioned rest ...
*Correction: LeBron lead the league in "Minutes Played Per Game". Not Minutes Played. he only played 74 games. They keep emphasizing this fact that simply is not true.
Shannon iz right...
if LeBron plays,he's wrong,if he doesent play,he's wrong,if he shoots,he's wrong,if he makes it,he's lucky,if he misses, he choked-the LeBron rules
yes
