No thanks. Undisputed is garbage.
Nobody wants to go to California anymore. the only good thing there now is weather. Meanwhile taxes, crime, cost of everyday living, politics, activists, homelessness, and drugs all over the place, no thanks. Vegas will be the new LA once they get a team. Otherwise I'll take a small market team over anything in any big city nowadays.
I've been noticing a lot of LeBron hater bots spamming FTF lately. It's wild to me that a man at near 40yrs whose even now trying to bring U.S Gold in the Olympics gets this much hate. The man is a Legend 🐐

Literally nobody said that but ok.
No one's giving up any real money in the any sport anymore
Name who “yall” is…and Lakers are an over the apron team it’s not like they can sign everyone that would want to come if they wanted to…
Kuzmos is like “You could not live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to me.”
Underrated comment
Kuzmos lmaaaao you win

Lets call it for what it is. Klay didn't want to be apart of the Lebron Son and JJ Reddick circus.

You mean what you want it to be.
@@LeadfootLou Ok the Lakers offered Klay more money and everything so what’s your guess?
Nah the other option was better joining the western conference champs that has a better team with 2 point guards.

Yall got Rid of kuzma now yall want him back 😂😂😂
shid kuzma wanna be back too 😂
I’m a laker fan and it’s probably the most annoying thing about our fan base. We trash these guys while they’re on our team, then cry and ask for them back when they’re doing well somewhere else.
All about fit… Kuzma, Ingram, hart all flourished on other teams ..
@@tone6835 ingram flourished? they just got swept
I hated the section of the fan base that trashes him or our players. As a true Laker fan I love the guys we draft like Kuzma, Dlo and Hart specifically. I root for them and they have a much more special place in my heart rather than guys that sign with us or that we trade for
Lakers ain't been the same since Dr. Buss passed
I've said the same thing. Dr. Buss knew how to close deals and never settled. Jeanie and her brother seem content with being relevant. Dr. Buss would have fired Pelinka a long time ago.
FACTS!
or since KOBE retirement
Jeannie Buss have no balls. Pat Riley knows how to stand up to guys.
Lakers won a chip since then Micky or not
They constantly throw their head coaches and role players under the bus who would wanna play for the Lakers 😂
That’s convenient for Lebron, he will just say he had no “help”.
If he has help and they lose, he blames the other guys.
Either way he wins.
You mean he. Lol this has been a Lebron issue no matter where he is
I've never heard LeBron "throw his teammate under thebus"
Fax, and I'm a laker fan
This year Darvin Ham and Dlo the scape goats 😂 actually near enough the whole team were the scapegoats, everybody but LeSteroid
Nick will try and hold EVEYRONE accountable... as long it's not LeBron or anyone from the James camp.
whats Bron got to do with pelinka failing to acquire players?????????????????????????? fckng explain that sh8
@@joshlittle1579 wow you cannot be this stupid
@@joshlittle1579
They gave up a lot for Bron's choice of picking up Westbrook. People forget that the Lakers traded their future so LeBron can win now. They signed Bronny to a multi year contract instead of getting a quality player. What's Pelinka got to work with? It's LeGM's doing. He's so pathetic
@@drews6770drafting Bronny has no effect on the front office trading for real dudes. Try again.
Lakers gave up too much to keep LBJ happy. "Draft picks and young players. " 1 bubble Chip was worth it though. 🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
The way basketball is analyzed is just so weird . I like the game but my goodness It’s not treated like a team sport at all both by the media and the fans
You ain't lying...It's like they go out of there way to make it an individual glaze fest than respecting "the team"
It is a sport where individuals can have a seemingly greater impact (due to the smaller team size). But also it’s seen as “boring” to just say you need a solid overall team with good chemistry; star names bring more views
The Michael Jordan effect. The game was exponentially less marketable before that.
Because it’s the least dependent team sport. You got 5 guys and 1 of em accounts for 1/3 of the production as opposed to football you have 23 guys who are all extremely dependent on eachother to succeed. Baseball your best hitter only gets 1/9 of the at bats and your best pitcher only gets 66% in 1 out of every 4ish games.
It’s funny though, seems like the complete teams and not just a couple superstars with some dudes are the ones winning the titles and getting the least amount of coverage.
The "it's not the Lebron fault" team is on the court.
An organization blaming its demise on a player has no business being taken seriously as an organization.

Lebron fans
Avoiding the lebron system
Avoiding taxes too
@@CaribbeanGoldGroupAuto nah the LeBron haters. Yall virgins are insufferable
@@CaribbeanGoldGroupAutoguess they were avoiding them in the 2010s too?
the drafting of Lebron James Junior proved who the boss is and very few want to be apart of the Laker Mob aka the Lebrakers.
They want to go against Lebron there is a difference people love to say oh I beat Lebron & if they do join him it’s always will be they riding his coat tail
And the 55th pick gets a 4 year guaranteed contract! Enough said!
Circus!!!
@@gloryroad7452Assuming this is true (which it isn't), what happened to the narrative that Bron would attract star talent to the Lakers? Having this mindset literally defeats the purpose of even having him there LMAO
They drafted the kid at 55th… Lebron has wanted several things done within the franchise that haven’t happened but now he runs the team because they draft his son late on the draft? Please stop. Yall blame lebron for everything this franchise was completely irrelevant and horrific before lebron arrived.
Klay don't feel like lebron showing him up and throwing his hands up in disgust because klay misses one shot or doesn't magically appear out of nowhere in 2 places at once and help lebron when he plays terrible defense
I'd be mad at Klay too if he shot 0 for 11 in a close out game. Are we really tryna act like Klay is the missing championship piece on any team? 😂 What makes logical sense is he doesn't wanna help Lebron (who has been his rival his whole career) win a 5th ring over Steph... In no Lebron fan but the haters have become dumber than the fan boys. Y'all just say anything. So he doesn't wanna deal with LeBron's whining so he chose Luka the biggest whiner in the NBA? Make it make sense bro 😂
Boy, Brou really walked into that one when he called Lebron the identity. Thank you Wildes🙂
I thought "everyone wants to play with pass first, Lebron?" 🤣🤣🤣
Who went there before Bron signed? No one wanted to play with Kobe?
@@kirkcupido9730 who wanted to go anywhere lebron plays? Seriously since Bosh who tf has wanted to play lebron besides dudes who got turned into jump shot shooters like Bosh or Kevin love? Its a trap
Yes, the Warriors wanted to trade for Lebron just few months ago, AD wanted to play with only him, Ray Allen left the Celtics big 3 to play with LeBron, Bosh took less and at a lesser role, Rondo won wanting to play with LeBron.... All HOF'ers
So get your facts right...
This is the incompetent ownership and front office track record that is the impediment

Could it be no A-List talent wants to be on a team where a 40 year old player is the star/coach/GM/ball boy/agent/part owner, etc😅
Don’t forget lejr
You might be onto something
Nick just needs to except that lebron isn't gonna pursue the "GOAT" title on the court anymore. Nick wants it more than lebron for his arguments. Hiring jj redick made la a stay way for any star and lebron knew that would happen but he wanted a comfortable coach for his son. A guy that knows he wouldn't be a head without lebron. Nick tried to say lebron did want redick which is absolute lunacy
ironic statement to make when the mighty lakers' biggest free agent signing since Shaq 30 years ago is AD and he came pretty much only because Lebron was there.
yall are ready to sound like complete idiots just to hate on this guy it's truly beautiful to witness
That 40 year old is still better than any of them. That’s sad
Brou nailed it. There's a stigma in playing with the Lakers. Yes, it does come with more opportunities and fame. But it will always be about Lebron. Win a championship, it's all him. Fail to reach the playoffs, everyone gets blamed except him. We've seen this more than a few times.
But hasn't he earned that? Yeah the crown is heavy and clearly some guys don't want the pressure. They just wanna hoop😬
Playing with LeBron comes with pressure to win titles and the downside is everyone blames everyone other than LeBron and refuses to admit Bron is just old and can't keep it up for the whole season and then the playoffs which quite frankly he shouldn't be expected to at his age.
"shouldn't be expected to at his age..."
The proble here is that Lebron is a ball dominant Small Forward with a shockingly 1-dimensional skillset... and his basketball IQ is so low that he isn't capable of playing another role in an offensive scheme
Except he did keep it up for the whole season, was all NBA third team, and was fine in the playoffs. Nuggets were just better than the Lakers team
😂😂
He played 71 games last season and averaged 26 7 8 on 54% shooting. How is he not keeping it up for the whole season again?
@@user-mh6yh3lh8w elite playmaker, elite paint scorer, 41% from 3 on volume is one dimensional on offence…you people need help 😭
Nobody wants to play with lebron that’s not rob pelinkas fault
Nobody wanna play for the lakers not Lebrons fault
Nah they tired of you Lakers fans
Exactly, Nick wrong keeps blaming Rob instead of Lebron. I guess nicks checks keep cashing
@@baldeagle4710 you understand Klutch works for Nick and not the other way around?
Or do you work for your dentist when you hire one?
Well except Kyrie
The Lakers dodged a bullet. This crazy talk about 35 year old Klay putting the Lakers into Championship contention is nuts. They need lockdown, young, bouncy defenders. Not another old guy who scored zero in his last game.
It's amazing you got this thing wrong in exactly the opposite direction. It takes talent to be as clueless as you.
Klay been washed. Sure he can have a good game once in awhile--see D.Rose,
😂😂😂😂
Agreed!!!!
Look at all these laker fans trying to cope. A few days ago you were saying klay would put you over for winning it all 😂

Chris "LEBRAUHN" Broussard.
Idc what's to be said. As long as I hear that classic LEBRAUHN from brou, I'll keep watching.

Nick is such a Rob hater lol it’s so weird 😂
It's true. I bet his friendship with Darryl Morey has something to do with his Intel.
Anything to Not blame Lebron 😂
How could you not hate Rob at this point? He’s a trash GM
Yes, but it’s one of nick’s more justified angry takes
He has to.
Otherwise, he'll arrive at the obvious conclusion that it's Leflops fault.
Watching the entire sports media complex dance around the fact that Lebron is a liability at this point... and that no one really wants to play with him... is eerily similar to watching the liberal media dance around the reality of Biden at the debate
71 games last season and averaged 26 7 8 on 54% shooting. Not sure if that sounds like a liability to me.
Pretty much nail it , the media is the media news or sports
All I hear is the media crushing Biden's performance at the debate...And he will still win
Melo, russ, AD all only came to play with lebron
Kobe killed the leakers brand and lebron is resurrecting it
@@TeamCougarKartproof u kids don’t know ball
So instead of coming on and admitting that it wasn't Rob Pelinka's fault because Klay had reasons for not going to the lakers, he tries to shift to "the lakers aren't a destination anymore" because of leadership of the whole organization 🙄
The lakers have never been a destination..every major free agent they got, came because they were doing movies ( kareem,shaq,bron) everyone else was acquired thru trades..
Nick just face it. He didn't want to play with LeBron
Klay still love Steph he aint tryna help lebron break the ring tie with him.
The narratives yall come up with lol
Lolll you think Klay didn’t go to the lakers cause of that? He didn’t go cause he has NO CHANCE OF WINNING A RING WITH LEBRON. The mavs just went to the finals
@@baldeagle4710 neither team is winning a ring and yes I do think it is a factor. He did not give a reason so what u said is just as much speculation as what I said.
@@ajpyatt Mavs probably don’t win or even return to the Finals next year, but they are a far better situation than the circus that is LA
@@matthewsawczyn6592 exactly. Klay won’t get blamed if the mavs don’t win a chip. He will if he goes to LA. Especially if he doesn’t shoot very well. Lebron needs another all star there as a scapegoat
I usually feel Nick is pretty reasonable with his takes but him attacking the lakers so much makes it feel like he’s preemptively defending Lebron for the possibility they some guys just don’t want to play with Lebron and there’s nothing wrong with that
Kuzma fits perfect with the lakers he can put up 20 points a game and can defend wings !
The reason the Lakers are not a marquee site is because nobody wants to be associated with clutch sports or LeBron. It’s pretty obvious.
Just like nobody wanted to play with Kobe 😂
it's the amount instability in the front office. instability in LA that's predated Lebron.
I agree. Ever since ce Rich Paul and LeBron have been on the scene, Rich Paul has tried to take over the league by disrespecting other agents and players.
Melo, russ, AD all only came to play with lebron
Kobe killed the leakers brand and lebron is resurrecting it
@@adbridalandevents Melo never played with LeBron James.
Why is no one bringing up that the Mavericks have the best facilities in the NBA? Especially the medical care. It’s what Klay needed and I think he will get number 5 ring in the next 2 years.
But when it was Kobe everybody was saying nobody wants to play with him but when it’s Bron it’s juss the front office. Front office is horrible cuz they let bron run the team look at all his choices smh
the pup list 😂😂
Hey Nick ppl don’t wanna go play with Bron once he gone LA will be back
It queen is the issue
So what was their issue the 8 years before he got there?
@@YungLanxxthey were building a nice young core there until lebron arrived and blew it all up
@@MrJonnyl123 And where is that "nice young core" now? All of them are average.
@@MrJonnyl123what young core where is the young core & what are they doing besides Dlo who is on the trading block because he never shows up in the playoffs
@@MrJonnyl123 nice young core? Lonzo who hasn’t played in 3 years? Ingram whose current team doesn’t want to even to extend him right now? Kuzma? Lol, well Hart is a great rebounder for his size him sure that would’ve got them close to being contenders by now. I wish some of yall would proofread your comments before releasing them to the internet lol
One team went to the Finals, the other got bounced in the First round. What's so hard lol
this segment has been inevitable ever since Brou tried to make his own tier list lol
Brou really signed to klutch sports now. I truly believe😂
"anybody that doesn't illogically criticize LeBron is paid by Klutch" the fact you poorbois don't understand how agents and representation works speaks volumes. Klutch doesn't pay the people they represent goofy.
22nd season and still chasing Kobe.
What records does Kobe hold over Lebron? I'll wait....
kobe isnt even top 10
@@TeamCougarKart 5 rings > 4 rings
Bad take
What are u talking about? Lebron passed Kobe in 2016 😂 Last I checked Kobe was a number 2, a Robin for his first 3 rings. Last I checked it was Shaq who won ALL 3 FMVPS in the 3-peat. They literally had to force Shaq to leave the team in order for Kobe to even get his first one years later. 😂 So if u wanna be real about it Kobe really got u 2 rings NOT 5 😂
Lebron ain’t never been carried to a Finals, evidenced by 4 chips, 4 FMVPS, and all the stats to go along with it 😂 Kobe played 20 years and still wondered why he wasnt in the GOAT debate. 😂
Thanks for the break news! 👍😁
I miss the good ole days of Dr Buss and Jerry West.

Amazing chemistry on this show!
Brousard has been lying about anything lebron related for a few months now. When he tried to put the Bronny thing in the same boat has the Thinasis thing, and his podcast co-host said it can't be the same because he was drafted by the Knicks and Giannis was just going into his second year, he tried to still say it was the same even tho Thanasis was drafted and played for another team and has been playing pro since like 2013.
Then this, saying that the Bron situation would be the same as luka. LUKA IS NOT RUNNING THE MAVS THO. He is not impacting who is their coach, his is not telling them who to draft, he is not forcing them to trade all of their young talent to play with a dude that is represented by his best friend's (really his) agency.
I had mad respect for Chris for a long time but these past few months, he is seeming more like a Lebron puppet than Nick is...
Well considering his agent is Rich Paul, it’s no surprise. Klutch is literally telling him what to say
Do you really think a guy getting 0.9 ppg would have a roster spot if his superstar brother on the same team didn't want him there?
@@shawnsanders3636you're missing the point. a 2nd year giannis didn't force anyone to draft his brother. He was in the nba on his own potential.
Thanasis put up garbage stats in the g league. He should've been out of the league since 2014. Stop talking basketball
@@shawnsanders3636 again, it’s not the same as the Bucks didn’t draft him and he was drafted after Giannis was a rookie. Meaning he got into the league on his own merit.
Is that true or not?
0:40 LeBron James hasn’t won a legitimate NBA World Championship in 8 years, dating back to 2016, and LeBron James only won legit titles because he played in the NBA LEastern Conference. Yes, LeBron James is also the BIGGEST NBA Western Conference Failure in NBA History - LeBron James: 2019 -> FAILED to make the NBA Playoffs, 2020 -> Asterisk BUBBLE Consolation Prize, 2021 -> LOST in the 1st Round, 2022 FAILED to make even the NBA PLAY-IN Tournament👀😅, 2023 SWEPT 4-0 in the Western Conference Finals, and 2024 Gentlemen’s SWEEP 4-1 in the 1st Round. Now we see why LeBron James went to 8 straight NBA Finals. Now we see why LeBron James went to 8 straight NBA Finals. Michael Jordan locked the GOAT Position at #1. Now ranking Kareem, Magic, Kobe, and Bird ahead of LeBron James sounds very logical. And yes, the basketball world is starting to rank Tim Duncan over LeBron James as well.

Tim Duncan is not better than Lebron. More rings does not make you a better player
I have a hard time grasping why the media can't understand that the new generation doesn't want to play with LeBron.
That's the reality of the situation. Deal with it and discuss it.
Has nothing to do with generation! Has played for 3 different teams, Cleveland twice,and been playing for 21 years! No superstar has ever joined his team except AD. And at the end of the day like it or not....he will be the G.O.A.T!
Klay went with his gut instinct, Dallas was his FIRST CHOICE.
Klay ran from the spotlight it made perfect sense for him to go to LA didn’t want the pressure and Dallas the better team
I’m thankful I was alive to see the glory years . I feel sorry for young lakers fans.. 🤦🏾♂️
Those were the good old days! When everyone was trying to become a Lakers. And when they arrived, they played hard! But that was when we had a good leader in the front office...
@@erichughes8723 real talk!💯great times they are sorely missed
Klay hates LBJ and to pretend he was even considered playing with him means u hadn't watched the NBA since b4 2013
Yeah hates him so much that he did space jam 2 with lebron 😂😂
Because you know Klay so well right 😂 did he call you and tell you that? Lmao
@@blakkwolfblakkwolf so did Dame. At ANY point was he tryna JOIN LBJ. Klay ACTUALLY battled multiple LBJ superteams. In the finals. Klay isn't a f.a.n. boy of Bron. Seriously have u been watching the NBA. Klay's down year was still crazy good. He shot 200+ catch/shoot 3s and hit 40%. Y on earth would he join a clown show like LAL. Plus Klay a str8 legend. Ain't nobody gone ever score 60pts with 11 dribbles. Somebody might get the 37 in a qtr but idk
@@martymcfly8449 I have this thing called a TV. Sports Center. ESPN. TNT. O my bad I have eyes and ears. O I forgot I had NBA TV for a couple years. The point is that was evident from 2013-2019. What's wrong with u ppl. Y even comment if u just started watching basketball. Or u a LBJ f.a.n. The ONLY player from GSW dynasty that would EVER play with LBJ is Draymond Green from the Draymond Green Show🤡
I havent heard people talk about Luka getting Kyrie and Klay, both sidekicks of the Warriors - Cavaliers saga
Idk about Kyrie being a sidekick in that series. He and Lebron both played out of their minds to claw back from being down 3-1 in that finals. I remember them both dropping 40+ pts repeatedly to make it happen. ‘Twas absolutely nuts. And they were both pretty much equally responsible for that chip imo
Of course you mean "What's left of Klay Thompson.'
Kyrie got traded there against his will and the Mavs were the only team willing to give him a long term contract. Klay is ring chasing now. Your smooth brain doesn't allow critical thinking.
@@TriStar44 Kyrie was a clear sidekick. LeBron led all teams in points, assists, rebounds, steals, and blocks. Only casuals try to argue Kyrie wasn't the sidekick.
@@prolific1518 When they won the chip, in playoffs Lebron had only .4 more points and 2 more assists per game which of course he will since he was primary ball handler. They were the most balanced pair probably ever, both equaliy contributing. To call Kyrie a sidekick is just such an insult.
Nick's 'How can we help Lebron' Klutch segment
It’s like Nick was giving a last minute assignment and somehow still ace it with that pup list bit.
Laker paid 2nd rounder $8M lol they are not serious contender
Over 4 years, 4th year team option.
So you're just saying you don't understand basketball.
@@rcmysm9123cope
@@rcmysm9123he shouldn’t have been signed to begin with. He got signed because Daddy runs the team. Straight up nepotism hire.
@@DresdenShuffle
The entire world runs on nepotism, interesting that' it's an issue when a black man has the power to use it. 🤔
The Lakers couldn't even sign LaMarcus Alridge in 2015 when Kobe was there. Lakers lucked out when LeBron wanted to be there for some reason
He saw a historic franchise he could take over
Wildes cheering on the PUP list just to get Bru to fight back 😂
Klay wanted a fresh start and just play basketball. He doesnt want to be remembered as a lakers and "home" feeling with with his father, when Bay Area is his home. Also no tax, stop being stupid everyone. Texas and right leaning is the way to go.
KAREEM ABDUL JABBER IS THE REAL GOAT
I’ll say it : No one wants to play with LeBron.LeGm called Klay, and Klay rejected. This isn’t on Rob. Plus, the Lakers aren’t winning a championship nor are they a contender.
You're making entirely too much sense. Klay has too much dignity to be back-to-back scapegoat.
@@ImportAllmaoooo you know what touché. Point taken.
If Lebron is the GM then why does Pelinka have a job? Sounds like he shouldn’t be there regardless then.
Guess Klay just didn’t want to specifically play with Steph by your logic
So why before Bron went there they couldnt get no free agents ? You forgot people didnt wanna play with kobe or be on a team ran by the Buss children
Who wants to volunteer to be the next scapegoat 😂🙅🏾♂️🙅🏾♂️🙅🏾♂️🙅🏾♂️
Give props to the Mavs for becoming a destination team. They were just in the Finals. They have a great owner, and have only gotten better this offseason. Klay fits perfectly in their scheme; they’ll even more competitive moving forward.
Why would he go to LA, the exact opposite of that?
Duress >>> pressure
the 3 star model doesn’t necessarily work anymore because you’ll have no bench, and with the new CBA that’s gonna make everything a championship or bust year 1. and the Lakers deserve to not be a destination for LeBron controlling their franchise
My Bucks are a good example of this. You've got Giannis, Dame, and Khris, and that's kinda it at this point. If one goes down, they're almost toast. Brook looks really old at this point, Bobby can be great, but he's so hot headed that he becomes unreliable, I have zero faith in Pat anymore, etc. And the new CBA makes it almost impossible for them to do much of anything of note. The Suns have the same problem too.
When all the stars collapse('cause of age) this is what happens,the transition from warriors,LeBron, cp3, all those guys we watched growing up, now it's the new generation, and these young teams will come through, purely based on athleticism
@@davidgibbs2109 yeah basically just a bunch of ring chasers not caring where they go already got the money and just wanting to win
@@projectgraham414 with the Bucks, the problem is their age. I believe they are the 3rd oldest team in the NBA (now), was THE oldest team entering the 2023 season. they just need to keep Giannis Dame and Bobby and get rid of everyone else for either draft picks or younger guys drafted within the last 4-5 years. they need a deal like what the Brooklyn Nets got with Mikal Bridges and the Knicks pushing all their picks to them.
@@GoatedAtNFS age is absolutely part of it. Outside of Giannis and Dame, nobody should be untouchable. The problem is what you can realistically get for anyone. There's zero draft capital, so you have to package players together, and that's not ideal either
Nick working hard for those clutch sports checks
Good choice by Klay. If he wins he can say he has the most rings of the era.
HAWK TUA
😂😂😂
They didn't spit on that thing for klay😢
1. Is Lebron
2. Is Lebron
3. Is Lebron
4. Is Lebron’s coaching choice
5. Lebron has the front office in a chokehold
To say he has them in a choke hold is blastphemous 😂 they are all in it together. He's 40 ffs and opted out of his contract. Let him walk and clear up 50 million bucks. That's what would make sense. Lebron had 0 leverage. What's he gunna say I'm gunna leave .. okay then leave. Now we can sign whatever free agent we want and build the franchise.
PUP: PLAYERS under pressure
man o man i hope Jeanie gets some rebounds next season!
"Under Pressure" list is literally just a reworded "Under Duress" list 😂 Nick wont let Broussard have anything 😂
This has been the best sports show for a while now
This should be called “Lakers and Friends”
Does this mean we can have less coverage of the Lakers ...?
Why is Luka catching incorrect strays
My Lakers aren't a destination anymore because we have toxic LeBron on our team. Nobody wants to play with him. KD said it years ago.
And after the nepotism by hiring JJ and drafting Bronny it only proved his point. We have to clean house and get that cancer of our team.
Then hopefully Jeannie wil sell the team to somebody who knows what the Lakers were all about. Jeannie has thrown her dad's legacy down the drain.
I was hoping she would succeed but seeing what has happened the last couple of weeks I am done with her.
KD calling anyone else toxic is hilarious with his track record 😂
@@jctslice It might be hilarious but that doesn't mean he's wrong.
Buddy Hield chose GS over LA that tells you everything you need to know
Nick putting overtime protecting lebron
No Nick thos is not about the Lakers. Nobody wants to play with the circus of LeBron. They are trying to spin the narrative like its the organization not LeBron. This is a joke
That's stupid. Y'all so quick to blame a player who has nothing to do with how the front office behaves. They have been running like this since Dr. Buss died. Which predates LeBron. Pay attention
Lefraud is the reason players don’t want to go there.
Right even though the GM does nothing got you
Who did Kobe bring in 😅😅😅
true has nothing to do with cap space or anything
@@sherbstonelakers gm has bent over backwards for lebron just like Cleveland did. Lebron just can’t get it done
@@wilcunningham5787 exactly and Rob was Kobe's agent 😂😂 he the reason Rob a GM
This PUP list is a great concept that Nick came up with.
I think Klay is going to have a lot of fun playing with Luca and Kyrie and if Klay plays happy then his fans are happy! The last 2 years as a Warriors fan have been wrenching.
Who CARES about the Lakers? They're not even that good. WHY does every conversation have to revolve around this team? IT'S NOT EVEN BASKETBALL SEASON ANYMORE.
What do you want them to talk about? Baseball and soccer? NBA free agency just started. There isn’t much else going on
Wgen Lebron retires, we will dtop hering about the Lakers for at least 4 years (hopefully)
What would you like for them to talk about? I mean idc about the lakers either..
You do know the Lakers are the NEW YORK YAKEES OF B-BALL
Because the hoop-la around the lakers are what drive markets around sports. I am not an NBA fan anymore, nor do I care about any LeBron BS, but it drives ratings and auxiliary markets in LA. At this point, if you don't realize talking about the lakers, Yankees or Patriots don't effect eyeballs, than your mistaken.
The lakers should go play at the YMCA 🏀
Reminds me of this team in Dallas
I like the Nick's PUP list. I think it should be a segment. Good job Nick.
Michael Jordan is the GOAT!!!!

Greatest Of All Tennis shoes
LeBum was scared when Kwahi checked in, the entire team was scared when Jordan checked in
Obviously
When it comes to beating overmatched finals opponents. 😂😂
You lakers fans are so entitled. You act like before Lebron you were anything special for the past 10 years and you were a laughing stock. Now you blame Lebron for everything going on despite him winning you a chip. Without him bringing AD with him you guys would have zero rings for the past decade and a half and still be drafting in the lottery. Abunch of spoiled brats.
This! People are ridiculous. They literally couldn't make the playoffs until Lebron got there. Not to mention winning a chip within the first 2 years of joining.
Yeah, that Los Angeles and New York City thing disappeared a long time ago. You can play OKC and still do commercials.
Bosh a glorified role player. Bro is crazy, Bosh was a dawg way before his Miami days 😭☠️
Lebron the Goat. Pippen carried MJ to every one of his championships. Look at MJ before Pippin
Edited and still can't spell Pippen, who was the biggest reason Bulls lost 89 and 90, MJ carried him in 98. LeBron needed legendary shots and superstars to come up 2 rings short of Jordan.
Look at lebron before Wade, Bosh, Allen, AD, love, Kyrie
How many rings does bron have without AD wade and Kyrie? 0
This is HILARIOUS. The former NBA players call Jordan black Jesus FOR A REASON.
