@@drelocs2878 yeah I won't lie when curry and them got injured in 2019 I did cheer. I felt really bad abt it after tho. I'm a cavs fan not a Toronto fan but he ruined my life when I was little lmao.
Unfortunately, I have been served a piece of humble pie on this subject. In high school, I was a solid player. 6-1, 220 Lbs, and I scored 22 ppg for my high school my senior year. Unfortunate circumstances led me down a different path in life and basketball was no longer my future. Now, post high school years, I was able to play against some pros and future pros in 5v5 pick up games. Guys like Michael Frazier, Kevin Martin, and Omri Casspi. One day, I was feeling myself and decided to challenge Omri Casspi 1v1. To those who do not know, Omri Casspi was the first Iran player to be drafted in the first round of the NBA. He got paid millions to play this sport that I don’t get paid at all and decided to challenge him…… he cooked me alive. I could not stop the bomb from raining on my head from 3. It was as if he took my challenge personal and decided to give me the biggest piece of humble pie EVER. That day… Omri Casspi was the Iranian Jordan. And he made me realize that even the player on the end of the bench of ANY NBA or even G-League team, will torch any of us average joes that think we can do better. So for all of us, our families are doomed.
It’s weird how people seem to fail to understand that there’s 300 people in the NBA and like 1k of them in the G league. But to get in the G league and the end of a bench in NBA you need to be the best of the best in highschool and utterly dominate and then shit on Almost all college teams in university and somehow beat all the other college basketball athletes and do better than all of them just to make a name for yourself for a G league team to pick you up and then you somehow need to ball out against the same kids that demolished every college athlete like a Tuesday lunch and do that consistently day in and day out to even have a single chance to see the NBA court which are full of the best of those g league “scrubs” and Demi gods. The worst NBA player torched every g league player which is crazy when every g league player is pretty much above and beyond a regular D1 athlete

At 5:21 LeBron goes between the double team, and not only puts the ball behind his back, but sends it through his teammate's legs in the process. Super slick.
Look up the professor. He has a move called the teleport where he puts the ball behind his back and through the defenders legs. He's showed a few NBA players that move so it's possible that lebron actually meant to do that

I found a loophole to the beat an NBA player or your family dies thing... Marry an NBA players sister and have some kids together...

It's not just that LeBron has 37k points. It's also that he's top 10 in assists. All time playoff points. Been to the Finals 10x including 8 yrs straight. The most gifted athlete we've seen since Wilt. Better than anyone has ever been at his age. Most seasons in a row averaging 25+.
@@rankarat Nobody fucking said anything about Jordan get off his meat And his regular vertical was 42 LeBron is 44 Jordan's highest vertical is only higher by 1.2 inches.
My friend in college was always talking shit about pro and college players and how good he is but he didn't get the chance, blah blah blah. Then we scrimmaged against the women's team (D1 top 25) That shut him up for a while.
Man, I was a practice player for a D1 women's team. The coaches basically just watch intramurals and pick the best/smartest players to assist with practices. Those women were some of the best ballers I've ever played with. Insane fundamentals and IQ. We were bigger and stronger than them, but they knew how to use their bodies and leverage so well. This was just at a mid-major school too. It really puts perspective on the gap in talent between casuals and amateurs, and amateurs and professionals.
the people who said they can beat isaiah thomas or muggsy bogues have never felt the absolute terror when a guy of that size destroys your entire team, guy just dribbles past everybody and for some reason cant get blocked once he gets to the bucket. Plot armour irl
@@thischanneldoesnotexist.750He played in 1950. I'm 3 inches taller, weigh 30 more pounds, I use my strength to get spacing. I don't think so, but even if he could keep the ball away from me, that doesn't mean I couldn't prevent him from scoring more than me.
We played a retired euro league guy in college in is 50s with Grey hair and everything. He was not even in the league for 10 plus years and he still embarrassed every average person who tried to gaurd him. He didn't miss a shot all game.
Yeah, I recently saw a guy in his 50s, all gray hair and beard, who was a pro skater in the 80s absolutely shred at the skatepark. Put all the teenagers to shame. Elites occupy the space they do for a reason.
Everything Jimmy said about Steph is why I always say he would be my PG over Magic and it pisses my pops and grandpa off so much. Glad to see someone agrees with me
I don't know about your take on Steph and Magic, Magic Johnson made his teammates allstars. He never had a losing season and I doubt that Steph, like Magic, could of played center as a Rookie in the NBA finals. And not only win but be the leading scorer and win finals MVP. If they were active players at the same time, it would be very easy for you to see. You're getting caught in the moment. Your grandpa should get upset lol
@@redtapeleveneleven Magic is the GOAT PG no doubt but if I’m picking an all time team I have to have Steph for the spacing and shooting. Magic’s only real flaw is what Steph is easily the best ever at. Steph HAS to be guarded the moment he steps over the half court line and that give the rest of your team a ridiculous amount of space to work with he makes it impossible for teams to play zone defense or slack off him in the slightest. Also the made his teammates all-stars is a stretch, he was playing with Big Game James and Kareem not Draymond Green 😂
@@redtapeleveneleven Steph made Draymond a hall of famer. That's gotta be some kind of record. Plus, who cares if Magic could play center... Teams hire centers to play center. Though because of Steph the Warriors can apparently do it with Looney.
@@par_tr3y617 Thing is, because we'd never seen it before people still have a really hard time evaluating it... But creating space is obviously part of the PG role. Steph does it far better than anyone ever, with and without the ball. Klay scored 60 points on 11 dribbles. That should be impossible. Steph is much more valuable to a team than Magic. And therefore the GOAT PG. History will judge though.
@@redtapeleveneleven Magic didn't actually play center that game. His teammate, Jim Chones did. Magic only did the tip off. Magic did get the most rebounds in that game though which is very impressive.
The second take is hoy, but you have crushed it, Jxmmy presenting us with the Brian Scalabrine challenge. Where Brian, the White Mamba, owned all challengers, even at a D1 level. That's all she wrote.
The only player I can mentally comprehend on that list is Iverson, he’s pretty undebatably worse in an overall stance but he’s great and rivaled him in his prime
I wanted him to take the wembayana is a better prospect than lebron take on this. I'd love to see a breakdown especially after Luka has shown that an 18 year old european stud can be an NBA stud really fast.
The good answer to the 1v1 question is "whichever NBA player would be nice enough to drop the game in order to save your family". So I would probably go with Giannis, he looks like a good egg. Jordan on the other hand would probably taunt people about the fact that they're going to lose their loved ones.
Had the exact same thoughts. He is nice enough to the point he would be more than willing to let me win if I explained the situation, and godly enough so that no one wonders "did this guy lost to a random? Is he this bad?". Most people would think "yeah that's a charity game or something, he wasn't playing for real
i’ve been crying for 5 minutes just thinking about the fact that someone really thinks LeBron James has no bag lmfao it’s just too funny edit: stop arguing you can’t score 37,000 points without a bag
As a longtime Bron hater/fan the “no bag” take is ludicrous because those exact same fans don’t have anywhere near the standard for the “bag” they’re talking about for other similarly sized players. What 6’9 guys besides Magic have ever had the bag Lebron does even if his handles are relatively simple moves. It’s how he uses and combos them combined with the threat of his athleticism that’s genius
Honestly the biggest issue with criticisms toward LeBron is the fact that he's practically a 40-year old man at this point. 2018-2022 LeBron doesn't look like he has a "bag" because he's not the same player he was at 25 or 30 years old. He exerts much less effort nowadays and still manages to average 25+ points. But if you look back at prime LeBron the dude was a menace on the both the offensive and defensive ends
I had the honor of playing in a 5 v 5 game against Mike James in Jefferson High School back in 2015. This was before he went pro. I got one bucket on him from deep, that was the last bucket I ever saw. And he proceeded to drop 20 on our team
I think people forget how long lebrons been this good. Some people need to take a trip down memory lane n look at the first 10 or so years he was in the league and witness greatness.
Here's a take: I truly believe Steph curry is the single most adaptable and dynamic superstar teammate EVER. emphasis on teammate. As a shooter, he has a place in virtually any elite offensive scheme with pretty much any star teammate you could think of. If we were to use him in his simplest form, setting screens and shooting off actions, he'd still be all time dangerous without needing to dominate the ball. And he doesn't have the ego of necessarily needing the ball all the time, he's fine working with a better pure talent. He's a high IQ defender for your team, promotes a winning culture, and just having him on the court changes literally every defensive scheme you could think of.
Agreed, but remember the crypto lawsuits his team is currently involved with? But, I won't let that (and the Warrior's bad record this year) ruin that take.
Ye probably him1 then Shaq and MJ as the only other real options, Shaq as a force on the interior for Lobs and Dump offs if his defender slid over even a little is scary
The way to win the bet is to find a player that's known for being really kind and sympathetic, explain the situation, and hope they're nice enough to let you win.
I once saw Jamario Moon at an outdoor court in Toronto, jump OVER a Canadian street hooper for the dunk. He wasn't even playing. It was 100% toss me the ball I'm on my way home type things. I've been hooping for 30+ years and I've never seen someone just launch themselves into the sky like that.
2:52 Jimmy to defend Lebron did you really have to use a clip of him dribbling between the legs and then hitting the side of the backboard, and play it TWICE 😭
It’s the video of “the take”. Some guy commented about lebron with this video, and while this take was on the screen, this video was on the loop. It’s not something Jimmy chose to defend lebron.
Playing basketball with non hoopers is the worst, you either get the football player that fouls you all the time, or lazy teammates that only want to do something when they have the ball.
I'd pick Bill Russell because if I can get him laughing I think I have a chance.. but then again his laugh would make me bust out in laughter too.. damn the feels 😢 😭 RIP The Great Bill Russell
I started watching jimmy about 4 months ago. I have watched all his videos and i still get super excited when he uploads. Keep the hard work Jimmy you alqays make my Day!
Same here, ESPN/sports media need to hire people like him or at least make content like this. The trash takes they get on there from people like Kendrick Perkins needs to be done with. I don’t watch any of their content outside of 30 for 30 these days
Still tho pure qualities you could argue luka has a bron like style. The step back isn't even much of a striking similarity. Everyone uses that move rn even bron. And bron and harden also have a similar style driving, foul bating, creating shoots for teammates. Just a three pointer difference
Y’all overthinking this. The player we could ALL beat in a 1v1 is Steven Adams….because he would understand that it’ll be your family’s final day on this earth if he wins and he will let you win because he’s just that nice.
As a 5’9” guy who hasn’t touched a basketball in 10 years and was always pretty bad, my family would be doomed. I’d have to try to really game the system by either saying I play them in their present day state and find an old bench warmer in a nursing home, or try to go way back pre NBA and pick a scrub from the 1940s or something. Even then, it wouldn’t look good for my family.
If I’m going to 1v1 an NBA player it’s going to be someone from the 40’s-70s. They have never even seen a crossover before and if we are playing on a 3pt line then I can probably shoot for most of the game and then hit ‘‘em with a few hesitations and they are going to be lost
Hot take: Jokic, soon not now, but if he wins another ring he could be the next face and best in the league. I mean 7 feet and is able to pass the rock anywhere, sign me up.
I’d pick anyone except MJ or Kobe. Most NbA players are decent people who would throw the game if they knew it would save your family. They might clown you for a few possessions so anyone witnessing knows what’s up, but then miraculously lose. Kobe and MJ? They’re a different breed of competitive psycho and I just don’t know that I’d trust them to take an unearned L.
"Defense was so much more physical in the 80/90's, LeBron wouldn't be able to play like he would" - By the same logic if LeBron was to play with the same physicality allowed he wouldn't only be dominant on offense, he would likely be considered the greatest defender of all time, due to his size, speed, strength, and ability to play more aggressive defense under those rules.
I remember one time I met Devin Booker and accidentally bumped into him. This man was a BRICK WALL. Like I’m a big dude and he was completely immoveable. So yeah nobody is beating these guys in anything. Not even Tony Snell.
If I am being honest, just get a guy like Damian Lillard to 1v1. You might think this is dumb, but he is a really nice guy. I could just tell him the situation I am in and he will understand. Then, he will let me win and my family is safe.
What's so ironic about the 'LeBron=no bag' take, is that I've seen Giannis do almost every move from those clips, prior to being moved to the 4, which is why I was so confused by the 'Giannis=no bag' take.
@@cabnabsshshshshs8072 well, duh, the dudes like 7ft 270, I sure as hell HOPE he can't anymore. However, anyone that watched him prior to him putting on the extra 30lbs of muscle, saw him running the 1, 3, and 4. As a point guard, he was taking the ball coast to coast, doing behind the backs, in & outs, and crossovers into euro step DUNKS. Some feel he limited himself by putting on as much muscle as he has 🤷🏿♂️
@@3TooWonder LeBron's bag is way deeper and all round versatile from the floor, playoff jumpers from half Court and mid range turnarounds. Everything and I mean everything. For over 18 years.
@@ochomunna270 Since y'all keep talkin about NOW, I'll include NOW but I mean this in no disrespect, but WTF is a "playoff jumper"? Also, LeBron is like a 33-34% 3pt shooter for his career but chucks like 8 game now so it's down to like 32-31%. I wouldn't say that's really "in his bag" and neither are free throws (just like Giannis). You can argue amongst yourselves on which is worse. Point is, y'all givin Giannis the exact same BS people gave LeBron when he was thrashing through the league at a historic pace. While you're at it, put some respect on Jokic and Embiid too 💯
My hot take for this episode is Paul George for a certain time had the deepest bag in basketball behind Harden. He was 6’9 pulling off moves that 6’2 guards pull and at the same speed. Easily one of the craziest athletes in the league for a little bit.
I dunno about that claim that "there's not one thing Jordan Poole can do that LeBron can't". I've never seen LeBron bounce the ball off his own knee twice in one game...
If I had to 1v1 an NBA player to save my family, probably just gonna choose the nicest NBA player I can find so that maybe I stand a chance at negotiation. So Mr. Rubio, please let me go home now 😂😂😂
Normally when people write this I think it's over the top, but with jxmy this is actually true. I always sit myself down and watch the video and I never feel like I just wasted the time like it sometimes feels with other videos
Hot Take: if you divide the Celtics roster in half, giving each half the same amount of talent, you now have two playoff (and maybe even title contending) teams.
@JFL he's had one finals series dawg stfu, and before that he played at his best to get the Cs to the finals idk where yall get these stupid ass takes from lmao
@JFL bro had a fractured hand in the finals and told nobody because he didn't want to cause drama. yeah he lost but come on now...show some respect, tatum is easily one of the greatest players in the league today
Been watching Jimmy for about 4 or 5 years now. The notification bell is on for this channel because every video is super interesting every time. Definitely the best basketball channel on RUclips by far.
I think saying LeBron doesn’t have a bag relates to what we now nowadays as fancy moves, jelly, etc. Many players have developed insane offensive arsenals which defenses have a hard time to deal with... Also the referees are letting players have more flexibility with the offense as opposed to earlier days when players would receive calls for little things today go unnoticed.
5:20 What are the odds that the ball goes through at exactly the right time and angle? This must be what "poetry in motion" looks like but just a lot slower lol
Also, that clip was from the person claiming LeBron does NOT have a bag. So it at first glance illustrates their point. If it’s actually a shooting drill, then less so.
Don't be convinced that bron has a bag. Many of those clips were just highlights from the early cavs days. Lebron main play style on offense always been to just straight up bull doze into the paint, occasionally do a jab step pull up or hang dribble step back if the D is sagging off a bit.
Agree on the Steph idea. That's why him and Jordan would be on my dream team roster, because Steph makes spacing on any team better than any point guard. Steph is the Space Jam supped up version of Steve Kerr. He can dribble, drive, pass, shoot off the dribble, spot up shoot, all he's missing is defense but his offense makes up for it. Steph - MJ - LeBron - Bird - Hakeem
@@kennethyu6041 I wouldn't say plus defender. But he used to be a huge liability, teams would draw plays to switch onto him and just abuse the man. You can argue now he's an average defender but no way I'll believe he's a plus defender. In context to the dream team I put up, Steph isn't close to any of those guys defensively. But I think that's fine because I think the team is so defensively solid that Steph doesn't need to be a stopper, that's what MJ and Bron are for on the Perimeter, Hakeem down low. Steph is not a great defender, if I cared about defense for my PG I would've taken CP3 or just ran LeBron at the 1. Other possible team: LeBron - MJ - KD - Bird - Hakeem KD can kind've fill Steph's role at the 3, not as quick but still unguardable.
I like the take, but im taking Giannis or Duncan at pf. There’s already so much scoring on the team that I think the boosted defense is more important. Not to mention the agreeable personalities on a team full of stars but now im just nitpicking.
Hot take: Jimmy's wife has never had an argument with him, because she is afraid of how many charts he'd present to prove her wrong.

At 5:21 LeBron goes between the double team, and not only puts the ball behind his back, but sends it through his teammate's legs in the process. Super slick.
Crazy highlight, but there is NO way LeBron was trying to do that. Was accidental, but awesome
@@bgrady24 That sure was something else, wasn't it? Even if the ball didn't go through the legs, though, he still made that move look really good.
Look up the professor. He has a move called the teleport where he puts the ball behind his back and through the defenders legs. He's showed a few NBA players that move so it's possible that lebron actually meant to do that

My friend in college was always talking shit about pro and college players and how good he is but he didn't get the chance, blah blah blah. Then we scrimmaged against the women's team (D1 top 25) That shut him up for a while.
Man, I was a practice player for a D1 women's team. The coaches basically just watch intramurals and pick the best/smartest players to assist with practices. Those women were some of the best ballers I've ever played with. Insane fundamentals and IQ. We were bigger and stronger than them, but they knew how to use their bodies and leverage so well. This was just at a mid-major school too. It really puts perspective on the gap in talent between casuals and amateurs, and amateurs and professionals.
the people who said they can beat isaiah thomas or muggsy bogues have never felt the absolute terror when a guy of that size destroys your entire team, guy just dribbles past everybody and for some reason cant get blocked once he gets to the bucket. Plot armour irl
I'm beating Sidney Hertzberg in a 1v1
Michael Jordan actually said he didn't like being guarded by Bogues. He was just so annoying and unpredictable due to his size!
I would be less likely to pick a short guy. Their skills need to be insane to get to the NBA with a height disadvantage

@@thischanneldoesnotexist.750He played in 1950. I'm 3 inches taller, weigh 30 more pounds, I use my strength to get spacing. I don't think so, but even if he could keep the ball away from me, that doesn't mean I couldn't prevent him from scoring more than me.
We played a retired euro league guy in college in is 50s with Grey hair and everything. He was not even in the league for 10 plus years and he still embarrassed every average person who tried to gaurd him. He didn't miss a shot all game.
Yeah, I recently saw a guy in his 50s, all gray hair and beard, who was a pro skater in the 80s absolutely shred at the skatepark. Put all the teenagers to shame. Elites occupy the space they do for a reason.
Everything Jimmy said about Steph is why I always say he would be my PG over Magic and it pisses my pops and grandpa off so much. Glad to see someone agrees with me
I don't know about your take on Steph and Magic, Magic Johnson made his teammates allstars. He never had a losing season and I doubt that Steph, like Magic, could of played center as a Rookie in the NBA finals. And not only win but be the leading scorer and win finals MVP. If they were active players at the same time, it would be very easy for you to see. You're getting caught in the moment. Your grandpa should get upset lol
@@redtapeleveneleven Magic is the GOAT PG no doubt but if I’m picking an all time team I have to have Steph for the spacing and shooting. Magic’s only real flaw is what Steph is easily the best ever at. Steph HAS to be guarded the moment he steps over the half court line and that give the rest of your team a ridiculous amount of space to work with he makes it impossible for teams to play zone defense or slack off him in the slightest. Also the made his teammates all-stars is a stretch, he was playing with Big Game James and Kareem not Draymond Green 😂
@@redtapeleveneleven Steph made Draymond a hall of famer. That's gotta be some kind of record. Plus, who cares if Magic could play center... Teams hire centers to play center. Though because of Steph the Warriors can apparently do it with Looney.
@@par_tr3y617 Thing is, because we'd never seen it before people still have a really hard time evaluating it... But creating space is obviously part of the PG role. Steph does it far better than anyone ever, with and without the ball. Klay scored 60 points on 11 dribbles. That should be impossible. Steph is much more valuable to a team than Magic. And therefore the GOAT PG. History will judge though.
@@redtapeleveneleven Magic didn't actually play center that game. His teammate, Jim Chones did. Magic only did the tip off.
Magic did get the most rebounds in that game though which is very impressive.

Fuck no
ESPN would have the upper hand on how he makes vids and that's bs.
The good answer to the 1v1 question is "whichever NBA player would be nice enough to drop the game in order to save your family". So I would probably go with Giannis, he looks like a good egg.
Jordan on the other hand would probably taunt people about the fact that they're going to lose their loved ones.
Steven Adams is a good answer too he’s so kind
Had the exact same thoughts. He is nice enough to the point he would be more than willing to let me win if I explained the situation, and godly enough so that no one wonders "did this guy lost to a random? Is he this bad?".

As a longtime Bron hater/fan the “no bag” take is ludicrous because those exact same fans don’t have anywhere near the standard for the “bag” they’re talking about for other similarly sized players. What 6’9 guys besides Magic have ever had the bag Lebron does even if his handles are relatively simple moves. It’s how he uses and combos them combined with the threat of his athleticism that’s genius
You basically said why he doesn’t have a bag
Honestly the biggest issue with criticisms toward LeBron is the fact that he's practically a 40-year old man at this point. 2018-2022 LeBron doesn't look like he has a "bag" because he's not the same player he was at 25 or 30 years old. He exerts much less effort nowadays and still manages to average 25+ points. But if you look back at prime LeBron the dude was a menace on the both the offensive and defensive ends
I had the honor of playing in a 5 v 5 game against Mike James in Jefferson High School back in 2015. This was before he went pro. I got one bucket on him from deep, that was the last bucket I ever saw. And he proceeded to drop 20 on our team

Right dude was unstoppable. Currently not the same thing tho.
Let’s not forget 2018 playoffs Lebron where he displayed in greater fashion than ever before, just how deep his offensive bag really is
I think thats cuz most people making these "takes" were 3 when Lebron was drafted.
Lol the footage is literally grainy that’s how long he’s been elite
Here's a take: I truly believe Steph curry is the single most adaptable and dynamic superstar teammate EVER. emphasis on teammate. As a shooter, he has a place in virtually any elite offensive scheme with pretty much any star teammate you could think of.
If we were to use him in his simplest form, setting screens and shooting off actions, he'd still be all time dangerous without needing to dominate the ball. And he doesn't have the ego of necessarily needing the ball all the time, he's fine working with a better pure talent. He's a high IQ defender for your team, promotes a winning culture, and just having him on the court changes literally every defensive scheme you could think of.
Agreed, but remember the crypto lawsuits his team is currently involved with? But, I won't let that (and the Warrior's bad record this year) ruin that take.

"Defense was so much more physical in the 80/90's, LeBron wouldn't be able to play like he would" - By the same logic if LeBron was to play with the same physicality allowed he wouldn't only be dominant on offense, he would likely be considered the greatest defender of all time, due to his size, speed, strength, and ability to play more aggressive defense under those rules.

I think saying LeBron doesn’t have a bag relates to what we now nowadays as fancy moves, jelly, etc. Many players have developed insane offensive arsenals which defenses have a hard time to deal with... Also the referees are letting players have more flexibility with the offense as opposed to earlier days when players would receive calls for little things today go unnoticed.
Coz the idiot that posted that probably was born in 2010. Never saw Lebron in his prime.

Don't be convinced that bron has a bag. Many of those clips were just highlights from the early cavs days. Lebron main play style on offense always been to just straight up bull doze into the paint, occasionally do a jab step pull up or hang dribble step back if the D is sagging off a bit.
that "heee heeee" caught me off guard
Agree on the Steph idea.
That's why him and Jordan would be on my dream team roster, because Steph makes spacing on any team better than any point guard.
Steph is the Space Jam supped up version of Steve Kerr. He can dribble, drive, pass, shoot off the dribble, spot up shoot, all he's missing is defense but his offense makes up for it.
Steph - MJ - LeBron - Bird - Hakeem
He's not even Missing defense
Before yes but now hes a +defender
@@kennethyu6041 I wouldn't say plus defender. But he used to be a huge liability, teams would draw plays to switch onto him and just abuse the man. You can argue now he's an average defender but no way I'll believe he's a plus defender. In context to the dream team I put up, Steph isn't close to any of those guys defensively. But I think that's fine because I think the team is so defensively solid that Steph doesn't need to be a stopper, that's what MJ and Bron are for on the Perimeter, Hakeem down low. Steph is not a great defender, if I cared about defense for my PG I would've taken CP3 or just ran LeBron at the 1.
Other possible team:
LeBron - MJ - KD - Bird - Hakeem
KD can kind've fill Steph's role at the 3, not as quick but still unguardable.
I like the take, but im taking Giannis or Duncan at pf. There’s already so much scoring on the team that I think the boosted defense is more important. Not to mention the agreeable personalities on a team full of stars but now im just nitpicking.
@@WaveOfPig Valid criticism
Every time I c jxmy upload I quit whatever im doing and watch the madness unfold.
Mainly cause his videos r so well thought out and put together
