I think Kendrick Perkins stopped drinking the Lebron Koolaid
People get sick n tired
💯
Naw he just paid him to act this way
These debate shows have to have debates. They have to take different positions.
Kendrick is a 🤡
Why does Stephen As screen look like he’s reporting from late 2000’s/ early 2010’s? 😂
😂😂😂😂
all they now have to do is bring Skip and Jalen Rose back to debate the word "scrub"
He prefers that type of light. Makes him feel like he ain't have that Nig-Vegeta hairline
😂😂😂😂
Thought as much bro
He’s praised for being 39 when things go good so he has to take blame when things go bad at 39 so stop making excuses
How he the blame when he alongside AD was their best player lmao
Dlo was the worst but yea let's blame LeBron lmaoo
Lebron fans are illogical and weird. NEVER were this many excuse needed for the GOAT Mj
@@xDaPrincexHow many times will he "not" be a problem? Or are you saying there is more than one factor in this equation?
he should retire hes actually trash nowadays, practically hes a much worse jaylen brown if he didnt get superstar calls and baillouts (hes so trash at driving/inside nowadays its a miss if he doesnt get a whistle) and refs on his side
the most honest convo Ive seen ESPN had about lebron in YEARS
I haven't heard 1 LAKERS fan upset with this firing.NOT 1
because lakers always have a scapegoat westbrook, dlo, ham, vogel, when the truth is they just suck need to blame whoever put this team together
I haven’t heard one coach Lakers fan actually liked since Phil Jackson. NOT ONE. And there’s been about 7 different coaches. I’m a Lakers fan and Ham was not the problem.
Yup. This just that narrative the media running with.
All year Laker fans were saying fire Han
Have you heard any with a solution for how to make this junk roster play better defense?
Perk ain’t getting them Klutch checks no more now he speaking that real😭
Yup lol
@@wildbilldagod6342So anyone that praises lebron is getting paid by klutch. But the 2 biggest heads that ESPN has ever had just both happen to be Jordan’s Fanatics. Stephen A especially in cahoots with Jordan.
😂😂😂😂 exactly.. They probably panicking now and regret not keeping him on the payroll
They will hit him up soon
its not real if hes only saying this cuz bron not paying him anymore
LeBron left Miami because Pat wouldn't let him run the franchise
Facts
If that fits your delusion, lmao what happened to the heat after Lebron left
@@Ma1q444Clownlike comment from a casual
Wade was cooked aswell
@@Ma1q444 That's facts my guy. He tried that weak passive aggressive narcissistic crap he does to get his way. He tried to get Coach Spo fired. Tried to suggest what players to bring in. Riley wasn't having none of that. He knew he couldn't get over with that and left
Thank you, Big Perk. Finally seeing the light and speaking the truth!!
Can’t say he’s 39 and playing at a high level or still a top 10 player. Then turn around and say we shouldn’t still expect him to win or have a legit chance at winning a championship. Any team with multiple top 10-15 players on a team should be competing for championships.
Did Lebron said that? Lot of speaking for him or should of could been. They are competing just happened to run into Nuggets twice
Expectations for most of those in the 10-15 is playoffs not winning stop the bs
This has never happened b4
No one in yr 21 ever did this so it’s unprecedented
@@heatsboi23 Lebron “stats” say that. I’m also speaking to how most NBA analysts say that. This is clearly an ESPN page. They’ve been in the play-in two years in a row. He also plays for the Lakers. They historically don’t play for playoff appearances.
@@BornGiftedMusicGroup Read it again! It clearly said with multiple top 10-15 players should be winning or competing for a championship. Keywords “multiple” and “or”. I didn’t say it was just on Lebron. 16 teams make the playoffs every year. Yet 16 teams aren’t realistic title contenders. The teams with at least two top 15 players usually are.
That’s my biggest issue with this… they constantly praise him for playing at the level he plays for his age, and turn around and excuse him for his age. Is it impressive to play at that level still? Yes, but no matter what team you build around him, he will no longer be in championship contention bc of his style of play. He won’t defer to anyone else. At his age, that is a detriment. I saw AD under the basket calling for the ball all 4th quarters. Dude wasn’t getting the ball
4:41-4:51 Ayo man why is Perk moaning like that lmfao
He probably saw someone walking by with some food.
🤣
BRUH I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO HEARD THAT🤣🤣🤣
These types of humorous observations helps me enjoy life 🙏🙏🙏😂😂😂😂 God bless 🙏
I hate it
Shannon said did you expect Mike to make it to the ECF at age 39 with the Wizards. The Wizards was trash even when Mike joined they were still trash, Mike did all he could. LBJ has by far the better team between him and Jordan. There's no excuse, LBJ quit in game one. GTFOH
This is BS stop defending Mike he was trash he didnt do all he could cmon man..... plz look at facts not feelings
@@Jheezy123 Trash? Look at his stats since that’s all y’all care about. Mike played both sides of the ball even at his age. Keep your feelings out of it
@Jheezy123 are you for real? Go look at Jordan's stats at 39 after taking 3 years off and trying to come back they look like LeBrons and MJ played defense. He also didn't even have close to the amount of talent LeBron is playing with right now. Mj coming back after 3 years off people weren't sure what to expect. Shanon is a fool just like Nick when he is talking about LeBron.
@@Jheezy123 What do you mean, he didn't do ALL he could for the Wizards.. Jordan was literally averaging 25 ppg, 6 rpg and 5.5 apg playing about 37 mpg for a Washington Wizard squad that was in contention for the top three seeds in the Eastern conference before He got hurt. He played hurt for a few games and even tried to come back early from the injury before the season ended. . He regularly drained his knees througout the season and even played with cracked ribs.... There were no real expectation when Jordan returned from retirement for the Washington Wizards. It was more of a publicity stunt to get Fans in the stands to support the team. They wound performing WAY ABOVE EXPECTATIONS UP until he got hurt. (They actually had a shot at the playoffs) Record 26 - 21 before Jordan gotten injured......11 - 24 Record afterwards.... Jordan played ALL 82 games the next season.... averaging 37 mpg.!!! (at age 39 - 40). He was Team leader in STEALS, POINTS SCORED, and Second on the team in REBOUNDS, and ASSISTS..... and THIRD IN BLOCKS.... He literally DID ALL HE COULD. GO LOOK IT UP.
@@jaiant21 mf's act like LeBron wasn't out here putting on a defensive clinic vs the Warriors & Grizzlies last year. LeBron played better defense at 39 then Dlo foh, MJ meat riders a say anything
Nothing but facts Perk!!
why is firing Ham still a thing that they're still chewing on ? I'm a lakers fan but c'mon now, talk about the playoffs.
smartest lakers fan btw🤣
he clearly wasn’t the main reason y the lakers got bounced off the first round😅
They have nothing else they are capable of speaking about
FAKE FAKE OUTRAGE-Wilbon and HAM are great buddies so no need for FAKE Concerns over the coach firing-THIS IS NEPOTISM ON ESPN driven by SAS with his MOUTH
They actually have been talking about the playoffs, but LeBron/Lakers topics are always going to get views and engagement, lol
4 coaches in 5 years. At some point the problem is clearly not the coach.
how many since he wasn’t there ?
Darvin Ham, Luke Walton, David Blatt, Frank Vogel, Paul Silas, Mike Brown, and Eric Spolestra . “ 1 “ is a top coach, and only one other has a championship (which is with Lebron) The others have been fired or haven’t been a head coach anywhere else (even not being attached to Lebron) and also no one is viewing them in the same level as other coaches like Phil Jackson, Greg Popovich or even Steve Kerr or Ty Lue… stop acting like Darvin Ham was a seasoned coach that understood how to develop this team
mike brown got fired after lbj left. blatt was trash as u see he never got a job again luke was trash @SilverRpr
@@avionjohnson6022 that’s the point and all what I said. verbatim). None were or are even close to low tier coaches (E. Spo is the only coach in that list to be considered in top elite coaches this past decade) So as I was pointing out the list of coaches have all been bottom of the barrel and Darvin Ham has not shown anything to say he is better so the statement of LBJ getting coaches fired and it says more of the player and clearly not the coach… is dumb. Ham wasn’t good enough. Maybe next time they don’t low ball a Ty Lue or actually try to sign a Jason Kidd and not try to get a dollar store coach.
Well you can’t fire players!!
LeFraud forgot to pay his Monthly Bills on Perkins 🤣🤣🤣🤣
it's never Lebron's fault, i never heard of anybody being called great at something that always fails to win.
Perk: "What I'm trying to say is my thing is when it comes down to it is, what I believe the reality of the situation is..."
Lol so very eloquent!
@@cosimany I think he's using filler words as he's trying to figure out what to say next 😂
@@linnstr8609 politician in another life
Lmaoo 😭
When you need more words to your 500 word essay
Kobe influenced the game. Stop leaving Kobe out of the conversation
Even Shaq! Mfs be tryna rewrite history
Kobe not in the GOAT debate
A.I was one of the biggest influencers on the game and he's not in the convo
🗣️🗣️
How can a player influence the game when he copied his style off of an influencer??
Big Perk finally off the Clutch payroll. Halleluja!
Shannon knows the comparison between MJ and Bron at this stage of the careers was totally different and that's why he demanded "yes or no." One has been load-managing and playing and training and hand-picking teammates in a players-choice type of league, while the other came out of 3 years retirement as an executive wearing wing tips to play with no other all-star. Obviously, the expectations are far different.
Scott pipen was all star
How many times mj get to the playoffs when he came back
@@calioumarx4289 What are you on about? Shannon is talking 38 yo MJ. Pippen didn't play for the Wizards....
@@kkbaby30Sounds like a lot of excuses to me the one you expect more out of is the better player. Other wise your just being a hypocrite
Bron has won one single individual accolade in his 30’s. Not one mvp not one first team defensive selection. He got the mvp in the bubble that should have gone to AD. MJ won 4 titles in his 30’s. Won 2 mvps and 4 finals mvps and 4 first team all defensive selections but look at what Bron is doing at 39 smh.
Perk finally kept it real 💯
He really didn’t. He Switches up when it’s convenient. His takes aren’t authentic at all.
Fax, he finally grew a pair
yup love it when other people hate on lebron, so real!
Shannon’s face was funny when Perk and SAS was cooking him in this segment.
Darvin got out coached last year, he got outcoached this year. By the same coach? This is very clear? The Lakers did the right thing..😂😂😂
He didnt actually. Jokic and Murray can close and Lebron and Davis cant. Simple as that. Notice Mike Malone didnt even have to call timeouts on those game winners.
@@smoove2432 the Nuggets got out coasted. There down 2 gamesl by the Timberwolves??
@delanowilson445 duhhh the Timberwolves are better than the Lakers and the best defense in the league. Plus they have a star who shows up in the 4th quarter and would of knocked down a wide open 3 with nobody within 10 feet of him to win the game. Guess thats on Ham too 😏
@@smoove2432 no disrespect please? I'm an experienced tutor? So technically if I keep talking too much I'm going to have to charge you? So lets end this here, so I don't have to charge you. I charge $50. For a half hour of tutoring. 💪👍
@@smoove2432It’s about matchups dude. Murray had 8 points. Never in life will the Timberwolves hold LeBron to 8 points in a playoff game in LA. Even a hobbled LeBron is getting 30 on them and Rudy Gobert couldn’t guard AD if AD was a statue.
The Timberwolves match up is just disastrous for the Nuggets.
First take start spilling real shxt like this I might have this rotation on the regular! 😂 . A plus work from Perkins and Stephen A.
All Shannon is doing is supporting Kendrick's argument that LeBron should retire. This whole argument that he's 39 is becoming irrelevant.
Why should he. He's an all star. Probably 2nd team all nba if not 1st
Irrelevant? I get yall hate him but it relax.
I'm so tired of the age excuse...just retire
@@khawk1283 Why? Why would anyone who is a top 10-15 player in the NBA retire??
39 and playing better than DLO, Reeves, and some more. LBJ is looked in. He don't wait for the season to start to get ready. He has a work ethic that can't be matched. This some of this new generation don't know what that is.
5:07 wow, I can't even lie: Perk absolutely COOKED here responding to Shannon's argument
He said a word but the media put them expectations on LBJ I remember when he came into the league out of HS, I never seen so much expectations put on one kid in my life. It’s been championship or bust for him every year he’s been in league.
@CaliBrettan most of the time it was a bust909
Perk is reading a script like all media professionals do. he might not even agree with what hes saying. The topic of having 10 head coaches affecting lebrons legacy is what they know will get engagement and having differing arguments, especially since you have shannon there, will further ratings. Shannon couldve responded alot better but in actuality, no. having 20 head coaches wont affect his legacy. he accomplished what he accomplished already and everything else is icing on the cake. some players sit at the end of the bench till theyre 42 and are a non factor in-terms of the team in every asset but lebron is actually productive and then some at that age.
Cooked what? How tf did this get so many likes? Bron didn’t put those expectations on himself they put those expectations on lebron and he surpassed em by a landslide
Yes we were expecting the Lakers to make it to the Western conference finals especially after the hype around winning the in season tournament. He has AD on his team with a solid supporting cast.
Ham was an ok coach but did not ever do any in-game coaching, adjustments, or time management. He had no offensive or defensive scheme. He never took accountability, always speaking on the team's health, never acknowledging his opportunities. No one knows what went on in the locker room
Exactly!💯
Yet he coached them to the playoffs 2 years in row, got them to the WCF his first season as their coach and has more wins than losses. Man stfu.
Being on team for only 6 years and about to have your 4th different coach is a TERRIBLE look.
Facts and got swept back to back
@@DonHo-wi7tw lemme know when he got swept back to back Lmaooo
@Dre384 swept last year boy and gentlemen swept this year boy 😆 🤣 but him and AD the two best players in the nba
@Dre384 your boy jumping around crying like a 5 year lmao .you probably act the same way
Let me know how those coaches are doing currently….
Jesus Christ ESPN... just aaccept the fact theres no more Lebron James or LAkers in the playoff.
Beating a dead horse… to the day he retires.
@@jumanjiwarlordeven afterwards. Was it Paul Pierce that said he was tired of having to talk about him every day? It’s in their contracts
I'm a laker fan and I'm tired of it lmao
Sheesh enough a ready
@@Lkb2411perk actually said it before as well. But then a few days later he & richard jeff was debating about him again and this the yr he wasnt even in the playoffs 😅
It's always the one's that don't have a legacy to talk about someone's legacy
how many coaches have been fired since kobe been in la till now ?
I can’t believe we sitting up here talking about darvin like he didn’t deserve to be let go lol
I think it’s more about Lebron and his history of coaches. Ham just happened to be the latest one
@@mmbeaswhy is it lebron ? Didn’t AD come out and speak publicly about Ham? Didn’t D-Lo come out publicly to talk about ham?
@@officialdownload4 Idk bro, I’m just explaining the reason for the topic. I don’t have a real opinion on it
Because he was black ,if he was white this boys won’t b talking
why is espn so obsessed with darvin ham?? they’re acting like the man won back 2 back chips lmaooo i guarantee if you ask guys around the league they’ll say he’s not even a top 20 coach
He's been a coach for 2 years and wasn't allowed to be the coach literally a sound bite of LeBron yelling give me the white board. . So he can draw up some trash pick and roll and hope it works if it works he's the goat if not he yells at whoever missed after he threw them a grenade at the end of the clock
Espn is not obsessed with Ham.
Espn is obsessed with the team and players he coached for
It’s a race thing they always cry when black head coaches get fired or white ones get hired. Just the truth.
Vogel won your team a championship and you fired him. Your team is just dysfunctional
Elbron is about to have his 10th coach mate it’s always the coaches fault
PERK COME TODAY WITH SMOKE
Shannon’s comparison to Lebron and MJ at 39 is a little disingenuous. If MJ had an AD I would expect more from him. The Wizards weren’t going to win if they had 39 year old Lebron either.
Shouldn't you expect more from the team and LeBron?
and if MJ had some balco juice, he'd still be playing.....
So you’re saying MJ came out of retirement to miss the playoffs? Lol
Jordan had Stackhouse and Larry Hughes, two very good players.
Lebron on that juice. So, of course the standard should be higher for him.
Bench players talking like starters I hate it
I hate when media people who don’t follow the team day by day talk sh*t
Coming from a guy who could never see a nba bench
@@debosdetails7171niggas never been to an actual game, let alone outside on a park court
At least he's a bench player you werent in the nba buddy. Not protecting Perks but what you said doesn't make since
You couldn’t get on the bench of a middle school girls team
Comparing Jordan Wizards to Lebron Lakers at the age of 39 is CRAZY!!!!!!! Correct if Im wrong but NEVER in the 2 years Jordan played with the Wizards was the Wizards consider title contenders at ANYTIME during Jordan 2 year span with the Wizards, meanwhile Bron and the Lakers every season is consider title contenders. Jordan also didnt have another top 10 player playing with him with the Wizards either
Comparing Washington to la is crazy work
Jordan also didn’t play with AD in Washington. Jordan also didn’t play in a much less physical era, and Jordan doesn’t sit out 20-25 games a year to load manage and extend his career
8:01 Shannon face 😂😂
MJ at 39 was making the minimum. MJ at 39 didn't have a player like AD next to him. LeBron want max and has a player like AD next to him so yeah expectations are high. If he doesn't want that then take pay cut but he won't. Fine then step up.
That's a bs argument, Shannon.
He made minimal because he was already in the front office with the Wizards..It was Jordan that wanted Kwame in the draft
@@shinsukecorbin425 Then you agree. Comparing the situation of a 39 year old MJ with the situation of LeBron is not comparable and a false equivalence.
Just look at the numbers Jordan was trash at 39 lol he couldn’t demand a max
@@myselfandeye3884 no because once again if he didn’t get in the front office they would’ve gave Jordan what he wanted and let’s be real Jordan didn’t play as good as Bron playing right now at 39
And if lbj takes a pay cut so Lakers can get better talent then you accuse him of stacking the deck. He gets top dollar he's selfish. He takes a pay cut to add talent then he doesn't wanna compete. Which one is it
Notice how ZERO Laker fans are upset that Ham Sandwich got fired 😭😭 why is that ESPN. I have yet to see someone say “man we gon miss darvin so much”
Because Laker fans are used to having a new coach every two years. It's become a tradition.
because the laker fans are used to it its nothing new to them
Because Laker fans have always been delusional. They somehow forgot DLO is wildly inconsistent.
Ham sandwich 😂😂 lol
@@JunierificI can tell you right now that not a single lakers fans souls forgot DLO was inconsistent. That man will be sorry one day and go off another then act like he is gods gift to earth or something on discord/interviews😂😂😂
Unless your name is Phil Jackson, coaching for the Lakers is a 2 year career option. From Rudy T, Mike Brown, Mike D'Antoni, Byron Scott, and up until today. The Lakers management routinely fires coaches after 2-3 years max. They got lucky Phil dropped in their lap.
perk said Rui hachimaya🤣🤣
As a coach what does Ham do well? Timeouts/time management no, rotations no, offensive sets no, adjustments no. Has one of best most mobile defensive bigs playing drop coverage every game.
He's not allowed to coach. . . LeBron wanted a rookie coach so he can call the shots but now it's darvin hams fault
Now they talking about JJ Reddick as the coach when budenholzer mark Jackson proven guys are available
@@andrewgiegerich8211 He allowed to coach lmao. Every decision that were overturned that coach Ham made were baddddd!!!

Bruh how much help does he need SMH in sure he wants curry and Durant too but they are on teams under contract possible he could have not got frank Vogel fired in the first place
Perks point is when Lebron isn't playing Darvin showed he can coach. Lebron was out half the season 2023 and they were out the playoffs until Ham coached them up the last 3 months
The coaching was bad yall. He got fired. Get over it. Griffin got fired for less.
Coaches get fired all the time
He wasn't bad when you guys were celebrating the in season tournament.

Efficiency > Longevity

6 finals wins > 6 finals losses
Russel > MJ
12 season 11 titles > 14 years 6 titles
Now you gonna disagree but see how silly it is just counting titles
@@RL-ww5ev I don't disagree at all. In terms of championships, you are 110% correct. But if we compare team AND individual accolades, its not close.
Efficiency is not just related to team accolades, its about being great for said years on a consistent basis.

MJ is #1 in both of the follow titles during his tenure with the Bulls.
- First Team All-Defensive x9
- Scoring Titles x10

No, they'll have to hire Shannon Sharpe as the coach, Rich Paul as the assistant coach and Rob Pelinka as the mascot. LeGM hires undrafted Bronny, Lakers make it to the po finals and sweep the eastern conference finals winner in the 2025 playoffs. Afterwards LeGM retires, fires Adam Silver, takes over, creates an official NBA Goat- election with Nick Wright as the Goat - election CEO and his media peers as voters to end the goat conversation.

No one was expecting LeBron to win anything in LA until AD got there. Lakers missed the playoffs his first year there.
Jordan had Pippen for the entire first 3 peat and 2nd plus Rodman on the last 3 too. Come on now smh
They still missed the playoffs when AD was there in 2022, when Russ & Melo got scapegoated.
@@coryballinger85not on the Wizards. That was his point
Didn't Lebron miss 27 games? And was clearly not healthy when he came back.
Yall never mention context. They was 4th place in the west and had those exact kd warriors down 20 plus in a game until he ended up missing almost 30 games.
Perk’s logic is comparable to a boxer at the end of their career🤨😂
Holy geez! Recession must be hitting hard for Klutch paychecks to be bouncing. 😂
to be fair to lebron , main reason he left Miami was because D Wade knees were play-dough at that point .. not specifically to leave Spo
i would have liked to see him stay and for the team to bring in someone else (like a kyrie, for example) in d wade's place
He couldn’t have control over Miami like he did in Cleveland and now in LA. Pat Riley wasn’t going for that
He wanted Spo fired for similar reasons as Ham. Riley, told him he's going to be the coach, deal with it. Spo learned and got better and helped Bron win TWO rings.
@@choppabrown3741 Nah Miami was desperate at the end of the Heatles run. They new Wade's knees were cooked and that Lebron was their only way to be a title contender. Lebron told them to draft Shabazz Napier and they actually did, and then Bron left to Cleveland anyways 🤣🤣🤣 Pat Riley doesn't like Lebron to this day because it's the only time someone's worked him over like that
Man what 🤣🤣🤣 y'all give this man the most excuses he recruited Wade to Cleveland after Miami run so make it make sense

Hey Shannon we all know why MJ played for Washington and that is not to win a championship but atleast he played for the fans. Not like LeRoid he sat down with a fake injury.
It’s funny that Shannon is more critical of LeBron than skip Bayless lately

From 2011-2013 yes. After that they did not. Also I think super teams are only that if the supporting cast is actually worth while as well. The suns now def aren’t a super team. The warriors were in the past. Just using examples to get my point across rn.
@@shinsukecorbin425lmfaooo 🤣🤣🤣
Manufacturer greatness at it finest
Big Perk preaacchh!!!!!
😂😂😂so when Bron steps in and gives advice on players and Coaches yall hate it then when he stays out of it yall hate he can’t win😂😂
>Lebum
>Stays out of it
LMFAO
When has he ever stayed out of it??
Just play basketball dummy. Let the adults make important decisions.
BRON is Cooked. 😁😂🤣
I pray the next generational talent doesn’t have to go through this
He won't as long as he doesn't make any DECISIONS or create another Klutz Sports.
Unfortunately, Bronny is going to get drafted. The sportsbook I've been using for the past fifteen years has a prop for his draft position (O/U 43.5). Vegas isn't going to miss by seventeen slots. When Bronny gets drafted, the fans need to boycott the NBA. It's not based on merit, strictly entertainment and connections
LeBron asked for this like Perk said. The moment you make a self-declaration that you're the GOAT, you're asking for pressure. He should've just let the media run the narrative and play his basketball.
Well if dude says not 5 not 6 and then wins 2 I hope they get the same treatment. . . Yea he won 2 more with a number 1 picks Kyrie and 2 number 1 picks Dwight and AD
@@fidelamoah9115& he was agreeing not too long ago..its a shame a person can’t boast about themselves cuz people will say u deserved to be hated on
Kudos to Stephen A. Nothing but facts!
Kendrick Perkins is telling all facts here! I gained so much respect for him telling it way it is. Thank You!
Shannon is too much smh. The difference between Jordan and LeBron is, Jordan never went around saying he’s the goat. So yea, ppl are going to hold LeBron to that higher standard because he always talked himself up like he can do it. It’s that simple
Yeah Shannon just had to mention MJ's name. Smh....oh well. MJ is the GOAT!!
@@michaelcambridge1542exactly and MJ never got any of his coaches fired and was loyal to one coach during his prime unlike lebron
@@jaysouthmusic8230 He only had Phil Jackson who’s a HOF coach . Im sure Lebron would win if he had the same coach
The difference between Jordan and LeBron is Lebron is better.
@@WhoChino95Who was Phil Jackson before he coached MJ what was his accolades?
I finally agree with Perk!!
We didn't expect a 27 year old "once in a life time type" of player in his prime, to leave his team behind to beg for help from another great player and franchise to try to win a ring too
“We’ll be 39, what do you expect ?”
Quote the same guy that said he would beat the nugget’s and compete for a ring 2 weeks ago
This is what i hate about ESPN. They NEVER show context. If it wasn't for injuries, that Wizards team could have done some damage.
He also didn't have a top 10 all NBA player on his team like AD either
at least made the playoffs
Everybody gets injured. If kyrie and Kevin love don't get injured then lbj beats the warriors first go round. Ppl don't care and still count it as a loss in that finals
The Wizards did do some damage. MJ looked terrible 😂.
@@RL-ww5ev
So what?
It w a s a loss.
Maybe the expectation for Lebron wouldn't be so high if yall (the media) didn't talk about Lebron and the Lakers year round. The Laker had to win the play-in to get in the Playoffs and yall talked about the Lakers as if they were the #1 team in the West. SMH!!!
Great point.
And their followers like sheeps gobbled it now that the media has spoken "bad" bout lebron they wanna cry complain n btich like some females😂
And the cheerleaders believed every word they said all year long n now that their king is getting praised they cry kicking n screaming like some little girls 🤣🤣🤣
Kendrick Perkins, I totally agree with you!!! Eloquently stated!!!
MJ didn’t have no AD on the Wizards
Lakers blew a 20 point lead and Lebron missed a wide open 3 for the game and Darvin Ham gets fired??????????????? The man didn't deserve it, its just true!
Agreed.
@danielwhite5298I'm not a Lakers fan but he's right.
Lebron made 2 threes from los angeles
No one defend dlo rui auatin this boys are soft
They let go tough dennis caruso kcp if this 3 on this team i bet they beat nuggets
@@seanwashington5593 no, no he isn't. Jordan the goat but that 39 yr old played his heart out
Averages 25ppg and you want him to retire Whata 🗑️ hater statement
What playoffs did these 3 stooges watch, the time management was horrible, rotations horrible, & no play calling whatsoever smh. It was clearly coaching eras taking place smh
It just make some much sense to bash LeBron for ratings
I resubscribed to espy today
I 100% agree perk !
Perk speaking the real
