Shaq wasn’t a gentle giant on the court😂
He just saying stupid things like they always do when defending lebum
Gentle giants don't dunk and pull down down entire bb goal apparatuses
not at all lol…..very mean very violent.
The blasphemy 😭 chris need to Google shaq
Jason Whitlock said "I can't stomach this" LMFAO The jokes write themselves
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This guy thinks he understands basketball because he ate one ?
😆😂😂😂😂
You mean he looks like one 🤣💀
😂😂😂😂
Whitlock just implied Kobe was a great competitor.... OMG he actually said something nice about Kobe. My mind is blown
Right. He hated Kobe though because he didnt know much about Kobe
That's only because he hates Lebron.
@@rosalitalucas692
He hated Kobe more than LeBron.
Believe that!
Then stop comparing Lebron to MJ the narrative is done stop it
Well sorry to say That won’t stop.
lebron is the goat tho
To be the GOAT doesn't mean you need to be like him.
Franz Frand really bro?
This is how you know who the TRUE GOAT is. Jordan hasn't played a single game in 15 years, yet is STILL the most talked about player amongst sports shows.
Am a Lebron James fan. But Stephen Jackson right, and fatlock rights also. Am very disappointed from what I seen last night. I remember watching the game last nights with 4 minutes left in the game. They was tie, and Lebron all of a sudden got passive. Wasn’t attacking the rim,wasn’t aggressive. And I I was going crazy. Lebron doesn’t have that killer instinct, period
Dranda Man re watch game 1 and not only that he had an injured hand from game 2 to 4
PG 1 but if lebron wants to be considered to be on the level of kobe and jordan, he has to demonstrate good leadership. he handled game 1 badly and demoralized the team even before ot started. and he gave up all of a sudden 2nd half game 4. yes his hand wasn’t perfect, but he was abt to lose his 6th final and his last game as a cavs player. he should’ve fought till the end
if lebron wants to be considered to be on the level of kobe?.. threes only 2 things kobe does better then lebron , freethrows and finishing. every other statistical category's, lebron got him beat by a country mile. get kobe out this conversation. dude is maybe a top 10 all time great at best, while lebron is top 5. nothing against kobe, dude is amazing
ohh the ignorance...smh
PG 1 injured hand but is able to throw up one handed alley oops and slam it down with the same hand??? 🤫🤫🤫

"Those rings will be meaningless" truer words have never been spoken
So with the same logic KD's rings are meaningless?
@@supernova9721 spot on 👍🏾
Lol the lies that was told

@@123456CBOY They stay lying
Lebron didn't wanna guard KD cus he didn't wanna get embarrassed.
royaltree1204 perhaps, but in last year finals KD took LeBron head on and never called for pick n roll. This year he's been doing it for all three games. So I blame both players.
royaltree1204 it's too many of them.
Disrespectful to gsw
royaltree1204 Nonsense, LeBron is 56% of Cavaliers offense, and their best rebounder not named Tristan.....He ain't scared of Durant...If he guards Durant, mano on mano??.Cavs get blown out every game..The man can't do it all...I'm not wasting my time listening to Fat lock...And these two old journey men, burnt out has been NBA players.. Between them, SJax and Jimmy..They played with over 25 teams in their respective NBA career...Dudes sound jealous of LeBron..Haters...
royaltree1204 thank you for saying this. #facts
Check KD’s stats when guarded by LeBron this series. Won’t fit this false narrative you’re trying to push lol. You guys clearly never played sports at a high level and can’t understand how much energy this dude is putting out by carrying this team. Then you want him to put out even more energy guarding KD all game just cause he’s the best player? Y’all trippin, trippin
whitlock just did a 180 on lebron after one game . shocker shocker.....
pretty big game, in fairness
Daniel Bortz LeBron did good along with his team tho,so wtf is the real problem??? He scored like 33 and provided assists leading to scoring opportunities for the team. He did good,stop the unfair criticism
Because as labeled greatest lbj shouldn't do that or any great player, you've heard jackson said knock him down.. that's how you compete
Michael Jordan was a 5'8" sophomore...LeBron was a 6'8" sophomore. Different journeys.
And. LeBron still getting Smoked by smaller player. Like. KD. Kawi. Yoni Ontecuopo.
No body 😱 fear. LeBron. Period
Jazz Travis kds taller than him but go off
6'7"
Colonel Gibbs Strength and Weight wise
Kobe and MJ laughing right now
As they should. This is an embarrassment. Toxic media on display. We are seeing a bunch of fanboys with an agenda to tear down a great player in service of their worship of another player. That's the state sport journalism is in.
😂👍🏼
Dont matter. Lebron already going down as one of the greatest who ever played the game. Trust me their not laughing out loud.
HarpoSpoke tribalism
I just love the Jordan and LeBron debate lmao 😂😂😂 come on bro do we NOT REMEMBER JORDAN NOT GETTING PASS TJE 1ST ROUND TILL AFTER EVERYONES PRIME HAS PASSED !!!!
Lebrons weakness is he is so ball dominant that it stunts the growth of his teammates. They stand around while he dominates the ball that they never get into the flow of the game. No plays are ever ran. Then by the time they get the ball, they're cold.
teehud313
So true. I wish people would realize this. LeBron does not make his teammates better. He runs HIS ball dominant system and gets to pad his stats. Every player he plays with must sacrifice a part of their game yo fit into his system. That is why Kyrie left. Unless you are a catch and shoot player like Kyle Coerver your numbers will decline... ie Rodney Hood is a baller but in Lebrons system he looks ordinary
How else can he get all those tripple double smh he's a stat padder
teehud313 because they can’t initiate offense on their own. Some of em can’t even make a pass into the post. Or see wide open cutters. It’s out of necessity. Or slow play recognition like George hill had k love on a few possessions but never got him the ball wide open in the post or mid
teehud313 he played off the ball in Miami. What are you talking about?
maurice horton - no he didn't. Allowing somebody to start the possession a handful of times is not playing off the ball. He dominated the ball constantly and always has.
Mj with bosh and wade would’ve never lost to the mavs in 2011. That diminished his legacy
Not being on the same level as MJ is no big failing.
Oscar styles yeah they would’ve been out in the first round 😂
Zach Pell you wish that was true youngin 😂😂😂😂
Oscar styles Facts!!!
Oscar styles of course he wouldn’t he was already retired.
Let's just think about it. MJ retired 15 years ago yet he's more talked about it than 99% of players.
Y’all making my point He’s no dog😂😂
Who are you lol
Whitlock needs to stop eating the doughnut drugs
NlnjaWarrior i swear he dont need a job like this because his knowledge is way off
So does your mom!
Drughnuts
Dude is just thinking about the next white guy to put in black face to appease his white masters at Fox
Brian Gore So in 2011 Kobe got swept in first round by the Mavs but they only criticize Lebron for losing to them that year😂
You know when you're considered great. When you get a triple dub and still get asked to do more smh...
Terry Quintero ppl are asking him to play defense and guard durant shut him down. Too much for the greatest player in the world?
triple doubles are watered down these days, they don't mean much anymore
Terry Quintero Pretty dumb if you ask me. These fools are running out of ways to talk about LeBron.
Omega Baby Jesus
I know none of you guys play sports. you want Lebron to play all 48 minutes, drop 30+, assist for all his teammates and guard kd? you do realize this isn't a video game right? real life human beings have something called stamina. Lebron is not a cyborg.
Omega Baby Jesus lol hes 7'0
stephen jackson acts like he played in 1965 lmaoooooo
But it's facts
Lebron doesn't have the same competitive fire MJ and even Kobe had and that's facts
He is more analytical in his imposing his will over the game. but to imply that Lebron doesnt have a strong desire to win after all he has done is just hating at this point.
@@JamBudsVO so he doesn't give up in games? Its a fact he has..idc who you are or what it is but ur a "professional athlete", than thats a no no.. Idgaf....btw MJ never ever would be caught dead giving up
I agree. I love to take Lzzzz a lot
Kobrick shot 43 percent from the feild for a career most missed fgs in nbs history humble yo self
That's because they're gunners. Lebron is a pass 1st type player
yeah Bron great..but he definitely lacks that..you gotta go through me mentality.
Terry Pope does he need it?
GBRTGalaxy, Inc.
I'm just saying... I've defended Bron so much it's ridiculous..but when he opened his mouth after that last ring and said he's chasing the ghost of Chicago..he opened himself to a whole another level of critism. so yes he needs it if that's what he's really chasing.
Terry Pope that's cool. But how we know he was talking rings? He could be talking points Or owning a team or best shoes ever. Its more than rings in ths equation. We cant assume he meant rings. And even if that's the case, meaning rings, clearly he dont need that IT because he halfway to the GOAT without it.
GBRTGalaxy, Inc.
that's true.
Lebron fans don't wanna hear this😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Desadee Allen you cant be a 3time finals mvp and not have dat dog in ya
Savage Edwards exactly or apparently drop 51 in a finals game. But if lebron does it , what is it called? I’m confused
Ur laughing by yourself
Oh actually we really want too.
Lebron Fans do but Stans , no. But either way those who support Lebron are use to every little crumb of criticism that garners his greatness. He is top 3 , in the most scrutinized athletes in sports ever.
MJ, Kobe=Pitbull LeBron=Poodle
Real Bro 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Real Bro lol
Real Bro 🐕🐕🐕🐕
MJ = Grizzly
Kobe = Pitbull
Lebron = poodle
Real Bro very funny and it's very true.
Imagine criticising LeBron when he was up against one of the greatest teams of all time. People really underestimate that team bruh. If you really think Jordan or Kobe in LeBron’s case could beat golden state warriorsyou must be crazy. No disrespect to them but no man can beat that golden state warriors team alone.
Ok that is not the point, is about accepting defeat and move on, Lebron fans give Lebron participation trophies for losing and want him to be the GOAT without being the Goat
The Berrako Spot everytime
I wouldn't say that kobe and mj woud have won that series but they definitely qould not have gotten swept
and lebron wasnt alone, if hes this super great no one better athelte, than he should be able to stop durant/klay/steph enough and only have to beat the other two, and he was avg enough points to do that, even to still lose it be close, and he proved it was doable in game 1, no excuse, hes not what he and you leflop fans think he is.
@@dosalmasjd5886 lebron fans accept defeat, it’s you haters that hold onto the 4-6 argument, it’s a team sport, no one can do it alone. Mike shouldn’t be considered the GOAT because of his rings, he’s just one of the best players. I swear MJ fans are the dumbest sports fans I’ve ever seen.
If Kobe or MJ find themselves guarded 1 on 1 by LeBron or Kawhi or one another or The Glove they are attacking. LeBron guarded by Curry? Passing.
MG23 so I’m just supposed to take the shot knowing I got 3 defenders coming my way foh. No swing the ball
BayArea Playa
Swing the ball and take the L. Game on the line after the Cavs supporting cast gave a good effort all night and LeBron decides to guard Curry who made 1 three while sending Rodney Hood who had not even been playing before this game to guard KD.
BayArea Playa there was only one player coming into help curry and from the same side as of that.. bron could’ve pushed a bit more for an easy bank at the right side or as many pointed out a fadeaway.
But ofc non bias fans would agree that lebron got no midrange shot. And that passing was not the play there.
Other than game 1 Warriors have had at least one guy waiting for him in the paint whenever Steph switches unto him.
True the queen was scared of Curry the GOAT!
brussard with a very compelling reason for why LeBron is 'friendlier'
Lebron is Beta male.
Kobe said, "I got him." Now, that's balling; give me Kobe. Namasté...
"Love, Peace, Wisdom, Unity, and Truth"
Lebron is amazing! Lebron is definitely #9 all time. Pretty good for a non-closer...
Thank u that’s exactly where he should be placed n I totally agree
No 9 is a little high...maybe 13th ?
@@jerryteo4972 get off the drugs.
A non closer? you people are lost
Lebron turned down guarding Kevin Durant and Kevin Durant turned down competing against and trying to beat Golden State when he joined them after he blew a 3-1 lead and they won 73 games 😂
dave22226 kd was not on that team
dave22226 exactly bro they just wanna bash Bron smh but KD joins the Warriors it's all good lmao
Kd also turned down guarding Lebron in game 1
dave22226 can’t bring that excuse up no more sorry lebron is trash

The only dawg we have in the NBA right now is russell Westbrook
J doesn't matter it's a mentality
facts
@ J
And most fans dont like him.
prescott trilex the difference is Jordan has the basketball iq
I love Stephen Jackson but he's always saying "when we played." Lol this guy only got into the league 3 years before Lebron.
LeBron is good no doubt but if you want to crown him as the goat he has to step up to the moment.He has to bring the dog out but not excepting the challenge to guard KD will not help
LeBron was media made not by the people. He doesn't give it his all, because he never practice to improve his game in the 15 years or so he's been in the league. Michael Jordan works harder than anybody to make improvements on his game and skills. Michael Jordan in his prime would destroy this softer than women tities generation easy.
I’m sure Lebron can’t wait for John Thomas to crown him as goat

@@hershelpogue1745 Mj must be your boyfriend
Bron fans so mad 😂😂😂😂😂
the only thing LeBron Dana should be mad about is when stupid analysis is backed up with incomplete and biased information. because everyone has been brainwashed to believe that if you attack the game a very specific way with a very specific mentality, youre just a "great player" but you cant be trusted to win on the 4th quarter, as if all the evidence to the contrary never existed
@@JamBudsVO u LeBron fan boys are all the same literally...u never make a valid point you just call ppl haters cause u can't think of anything else to say...these dudes are 100% true...lol like wtf u talking bout?!?
Mad about what? They haven't said anything factual, just personal opinion.
Lebron hatters
James Brown Jr VA II stupid analysis??? Two were both in league played against Jordan, Kobe, Lebron you people just like stats because you ain’t real ball fan. If you all like stats why don’t you people love Oscar??
For the younger babies
Kobe
12x all defense (tied for most and only sg to have that many all defense)
Jordan
9xs all defense
Lebron
6x all defense
Kobe and jordan were far better defenders then lebron. And these where 6"6/6"5 players to lebron 6"9.
Hand checking SG
Jordan had Pippen, Kobe had Shaq, LeBron has who again?
Jonathan Raeford bron had 1 or 2 ? chip ring wade , all star bosh , ray Allen best shooter in nba at that for years til curry came , Kyrie , and love all star , pippen only avg 16 pts plus Seattle got rid of pippen to the bulls so he wasn't badass pippen for years til Jordan started working out with him and honing out his skills that eventually made pippen from a average player to a great player thanks to Jordan,back to L he had a allstar ,Kyrie , already great player before Bron Allen , already great player before Bron bosh , Championship player before Bron wade, either of them could avg. 16 pts even in 2018 those players name were all stars , Jordan made pippen an all star after winning chips together !
Mike Smith ok so let me break down everything you said in regards to who LeBron had and who Jordan had. Let's start with Bosh. Bosh really wasn't that great of a player when up compare his stats on the Heat to the average PF in the league. Yes, he was an all star but it was mainly because while he was in Toronto he was the only scoring option. Bosh was literally Toronto's go to option for scoring which inflated his points. Once he came to Miami, his stats decreased which were a reflection of what his capabilities were when put on a team with other scoring options. Now Kyrie Irving. Kyrie is a great and talented player but he had one major flaw. Kyrie is injury prone. Look at this year's playoffs, where was Kyrie? Kyrie came in the league injured from duke and when the Cavs went to the playoffs with LeBron and Kyrie, Kyrie was out due to injuries. Now for Ray Allen. Allen was one of the best shooters in the league and definitely helped the Miami when he came for his final season in the NBA. Allen was old but could still shoot, but again the problem is he was literally playing his final NBA season, so in other words he wasn't coming back he was retiring. The Heat won a championship with him so he definitely played a role but what do you do when a player is retiring? Now for Wade. Dwade was a great SG a top tier in his early days, but by the time LeBron came, Wade was on your decline. Wade helped Miami but like Bosh he relied heavily on LeBron. Wades stats went down when LeBron came not because LeBron was a ball hog but because he wanted LeBron to take control. Bosh and Wade heavily relied on LeBron and it showed once LeBron left Miami. Look what happened when LeBron went back to Cleveland, Miami could only get to the first round or not even in the playoffs. Explain how two superstars couldn't take a team past the first round. That showed they took a back seat once LeBron came into the picture. Now Kevin Love. Kevin love was a great player when he played with the timberwolves, he had a shot and could rebound. Ever since he left the timberwolves and came to the Cavs, his capabilities declined. Love no longer had the same shooting capability or rebounding capability. Look how love plays when LeBron sits out, he can't do anything that shows his once famed superstardom. Love did a decent job this year in the playoffs but didn't really make a big enough difference to even call him a superstar. Love was once a top the point shooter, but look at his stats this year in the playoffs. Finally Jordan, Jordan had a team built around him and even if he worked with Scottie Pippen, Jordan still had a team built better then today's Cavs. It took Jordan 7 years to win his first title but once he had that team that could actually do their job, dynasty. GSW have an overstacked super team with top tier players, LeBron has never had that. The Heat were a false super team, as evident in my earlier comment about wade and Bosh. If LeBron played along side Westbrook, Kobe, Harden, Curry or even Anthony Davis, he'd have more rings. Give LeBron a team like Kobe, Jordan or heck even OKC when they had Harden, he'd be a beast. Basketball will always be a team sport no matter how good you are, but when you don't have a team you'll always come short.
Jonathan Raeford Lebron had Wade, Bosh, Ray Allen, a sharp shooter in Mike Miller, K. Love (who is underrated), Kyrie, Joe Smith, Hood (who is no slouch), and Hill (Starting pg for Indiana in back to back Eastern Conference championship games). He doesn't know how to use what he have or had. Also, Korver, an amazing sharp shooter
Lol but y'all are now defending curry after he choked, keep that same energy
Thank you
LeBron is softer than my daughter's hugs
07 finals. He choked
11 finals. He quit
14 finals
Last years finals he quit
But 🐐 right?
@Carter Bilbro You are biased when you use the excuse he is figuring things out his first year in MIAMI with 3 All stars and 3 of the top 15 players on the SAME TEAM!! And you say he should guard the best shooter ever, when the most unguardable man on the court is KEVIN DURANT? As your team's best defender you DO NOT GUARD the 2nd option unless that was the guy that was cooking...HE WASN'T the man cooking in that game it was DURANT!!! Nice try man.
ralx225b where was KD at after lebron dropped 51 on him. The next game he stopped guarding hi. If your the only offense you are not going to be guarding the teams best player. Jordan didn’t guard Magic when Magic was cooking Kobe didn’t guard Ai that was ty lue. It is just amplified now because of social media
igot_ game14
Bruh MJ averaged 42 PPG in 1993 Finals.... lmao. Stop
Batman what does this have to do with Jordan, but either way I’m done with these type of arguments after what just happened to Kobe
igot_ game14
L
Its funny how they compare KD in this series about being better right but KD can go to the bench and get rest while having 3 allstars on the floor. LeBron goes to the bench against this team bnb and what's the outcome???
Lebron had his time with Miami. Go get a nitro pill.
grimreeper that's so true but never brought up he's just tired...😁
grimreeper when curry was out against the spurs the warriors would lose their lead while Durant was resting, but hes good enough to get back in the game and help them get the lead back
I disagree it's not like when kevin was sitting they started blowing the cavs out
That’s because lebron likes to play iso stat pad ball
This is what I’ve always said about Lebron. He’s a all time great talent but he doesn’t have the killer instinct necessary to be the G.O.A.T
Not exactly talent or skills. More like physical advantages.
Comparing Lebron and MJ playing against mismatch.

@@mikal2507 check mj usage rate lmao
It's over MJ is the GOAT !!! Tired of this. Guy loses to JJ Berea and the Jet and got blown out and swept by an Ancient Spurs team in NBA record fashion. Without that miracle three Allen hit and the suspension and injury to Draymond Green and Bogut he's 1-8 in the Finals.
I recall Draymond playing 6 out of those 7 games. Warriors still had 3 chances to win 1 game. They knew in their heart that LBJ would beat them more times than not; which is why they recruited Durant. Rockets know they’re not getting past the Warriors & so does LBJ. Which is why Houston would be his best choice.
maurice horton-you know darn well had he not been suspended, they would had won in 5. Because of them getting cheated out of that one ring, KD copied Lebron as well, and it came back to bite lebron in the @$$.
How many teams is that now Lebron been on? Seriously they should start comparing him to Shaq.
Tom Lambropoulos.. FACTS. Lebron never won a Finals without 2 Allstars. The two times he went to the finals with less than two Allstars he got SWEPT.
facts
EmperorJBO lebron has been on as many teams as durant, 2.
You do not know absolutely if the gs wins game 5 with green. That kind of talk is pointless we will never know the answer to that question.
I love listening to Stephen Jackson, a career 40% shooter and pretty much just a "solid" player talk about LeBron as a competitor. Jackson is a joke
Lebron guarded KD twice out of 23 shots and none of those were in the first half. Lebron is a coward.
N B KD ran from Bron in the first game and that’s why Bron dropped 51 on him. They both run from each other.
Bruce Rivers KD didn't run from Lebron game 2 and 3.
N B I agree
8:50 The clap at Steven A 😂😂😂😂
Easy Mon3y I know Stephen A gone respond lmao
Charles Barkley been said Lebron doesn’t want to compete
very true
So that means KD doesn't wana compete either RIGHT? Cause what happen with KD????? Left his team for the BEST TEAM IN THE NBA
@@kyledavis1070 you seem dumb,i like it
It was a sweep this year - no GOAT would allow that.

No goat would be stuck in the first round eithern Jordan and Kobe did that.
@Louie Varela Both CLE teams that got swept when LeBron was there were historically considered 2 of the 3 worst teams to make the Finals in NBA History. they shouldn't have even been there the was the talent around LeBron was playing. Says more about the organization's ability to construct a roster and the supporting casts inability to do anything great
E BO Kobe got robbed of one MVP and you forget how competitive that race was
Hahaha
These dudes were the same guys who got mad about the way the media portrayed them while they were playing in the league. Now they sit here and throw jabs at people.
its because Bron picks and chooses his battles thus his low win record.....never dig deeper than he wants............n still losing all his hair
How do u pick and choose ur battles lmao.. this is not boxing
Cameron Jones defense
LaQuinn OFFICIAL jordan never guarded the opposing teams best player. That was pip's job. It started from Detroit. And let's forget the finals vs magic. Even phil said the switch to pippen changed the series.
LaQuinn OFFICIAL he also picks and chooses his teamates
Been saying that since he was in high school. Great player but hard to see him above Kobe , Jordan & A I. Hard for our generation to see in as the G.O.A.T. Because of those great players mentalities. When the game was on the line people playing, people watching in the arena & on television knew what was going to happen. There’s was no if he’s gonna shoot or pass. We knew & expected the greatest player to win by all means.
Whitlock just wants to make the show interesting when he starts with a stupid comment.
I have seen Lebron take on KD during the series when Cleveland played OKC in the playoffs. What are they talking about?
No you didn't
@@5lim.0 Yes I did, just watched a replay on youtube, stop it! All it takes is a little search!

First the players, now the writers are exposing SAS lies.
The superstar with the most “dog” in him Now is westbrook... look how that goes, WHO also hates Stephen Jackson, im getting tired of his “tough” guy talk.
Sghregh your missing the point bro
Westbrook has that dog in him but has like a .5 Basketball IQ.
He's got no go to moves and no arsenal of moves. All Westbrook has is athleticism and that dog in him.
MG23 exactly
Imagine if Westbrook was as smart as lebron or just as big.......he’d be unstoppable.
Yeah I take his opinion with grain of salt
Is everyone forgetting game 7 in boston??? No dog wtf?? Was the greatest performance I ever seen
They didn’t wanna show the Clip. Somebody was scared !!!lmao
Mj is better. LeSoft knows this.
LeBron only has that destroy u mentality against toronto. But he's a passer thats been force to carry all his life. He wants to b a passer. A scorer would naturally have that mentality but he is not a natural scorer like mike nd kobe
But Lebron is the all time leading playoff scorer...delete your comment
He has that record because he has to score in order to win. When Kyrie was with cavs he didn't have the responsibility of being the top scorer in every game.
KOC - 316 and it blows my mind that he not a scorer by nature but will most likely pass Kareem in points.
Meet da Brown like I said he rely on his longevity nd athleticism. He don't even play like a scorer he is a passer by nature. It's like circumstances. He realize he can score so efficiently in today's nba nd is using that gift on his body. He don't play like a scorer. Now he developed some jumoshoting but u see he prefer to only play with a scorer so he can pass nd finish.
King Godly Fitness paul pierce is leading in the 3point all time list. Is he a shooter no. LeBron can score but he is not a natural scorer. His way of scoring cant be stopped because of his body.
Here is how I see it. There is more to the game than just stats Lebron fills the stat sheet every game just like MJ great for him. The team will appear to get better because he is the focal point of the team and the other players just play along when it is convenient for them. He does so much and yet he doesn't demand that his team mates play better just that they "Play their role and they will get the ball eventually". Kobe and MJ demanded greatness from their teammates and they never took a play off especially at the end of games when they were needed the most. That is why I have Kobe and Lebron on equal footing regardless of what the stats say giving Lebron the edge in the match up. Lebron did learn how to begin to gain a "Killer mentality" and he displayed it when he beat GS and Boston etc but he picks and chooses when he uses it. Being a pass first guy is great though and Lebron might be one of the better pass first guys of all time but there is a time that you need to carry your team and score. Magic saw that and did it when it was required. This is the reason why he is seen as a top 5 player overall to many people. If he choose to only play seriously in the playoff sure I would say he is better than kobe then for sure but he takes games off in critical moments too diminishing his legacy somewhat. He is a still a first ballet hall of famer and a potential top 5 player of all time when his career is over (I say he is no higher than 5th overall in my eyes but that is just my opinion.) but he is his own unique type of player and the closest guy to him to me will always be Magic Johnson not MJ. Comparing him to MJ will never be a fair comparison and I hate it when people do it.
How was Kobe playing at this age?
Jordan played CUPCAKES in the finals versus teams with one all star, lebron played warriors four times in a row who had 5 all stars, twice by himself then played the spurs by himself literally in his first finals. Lebron is the goat, not to mention hes better than everything than jordan besides midrange.
King james watch basketball. Stats r misleading. MJ played his toughest teams in the east. Btw MJ played multiple HOF with the Lakers, the MVP Barkley and Kevin Johnson (two all stars), drexler and the blazers, Kemp and Payton( 1 HOF, another all star), 3 (HOF Jazz). So u don’t know ball, plus Jordan has played with less active all stars by far than lebron. Ur “Goat” is a queen
Early in his career he guarded all 5 positions at times. This yr he really fail back on defense. This man expectations is high. He adv 38 a gm and we saying he quit. 😂😂😂
busybody256 love LeBron but I hate when people say he can guard all 5 positions. Don’t even know what that really means lmao
djaramillo09 lol it means he can guard all 5 positions?😂PG SG SF PF C
C Bennett obviously 🙄 but if that’s the case than why didn’t he clamp down on Dirk,Duncan & Kd when they went head to head ?
djaramillo09 they say he can guard all 5 positions if he wants too that doesn’t mean he does it all the time but if he has too he always will guard the other teams best player I’ve seen him clamp up centers before
C Bennett he never guards the other teams best player ever
That’s like Deion Sanders saying he’s the best but he ain’t covering Jerry.
There’s never been any dog in bron but when u say u the best on the planet imma hold you to that 100%. Idgaf what type of personality u have. Get the job done if you as great as u say u are.
exactly
Let me get this straight, A guy who weighs 400lbs and has NEVER stepped foot on a basketball court is gonna tell others about how great Lebron James is? lol this is just too funny
Manny P he said he's a great talent. The man lacks leadership, it's facts. Is what it is
Manny P just because you are not a pro player doesn’t mean you don’t understand competition and sports. You’re the 💩 for tossing insults, too dumb to make a constructive argument so you insult people. It’s absurd to think that journalists and people that cover sports don’t understand sports.
Derrick Alarcon “lacks leadership” lmao ok. Bron has always been the “make the right play” kind of guy, idk why y’all expect him to be Jordan. And everybody is criticizing Lebron for not guarding the best player but somehow seem to forget that Pippen always guarded the best player on the opposing team...
KingPin I'm not going off him guarding KD. I know Pippen use to guard certain players during certain times. The point is LeBron is their best defender is why they are giving him the biz on that situation. And making the right play isn't leadership, it's just making the right play. Lacking leadership is when you quit on your team when you're suppose to be the leader. I've seen the dude quit on his team multiple times. That's not a leader. Everything they said is facts. Something I've been saying since he quit in Cleveland the first time.
Lmao he must of hurt your feelings with some truth about your lover..
Lebron is just tooo friendly on the court
Latonya Smith it’s everybody tho not just him
Str8 facts bro 💯
Yeah I remember that Kobe and Vince thing. Kobe took the dogg out of Vince that day. Just seemed to shy off his game... I'm was surprised too. HOWEVER, Kobe took the dog out of almost everybody. D Wade always played Kobe better than most. At times D Wade was in his head. Some people debate LBJ and MJ, but to me LBJ is top 5 at best and is no where close to MJ.
Top 8 to me
exactly what I've been saying since day 1 well said boys
15Megaplayboy
Day 1? U been saying this since 2004??
I know Jim wants to defend his fellow Ohio guy LeBron but he doesn’t have much dog in him.
Tariq Ansari i agree and I'm a LeBron fan. he's never been like that even when he entered the league. He's to player friendly
Tariq Ansari you sound like a complete idiot bro
john williams I was at the game last night LeBron wanted know parts and his face and body language was obvious. Everybody in the crowd was upset that he kept running from KD
Tariq Ansari Well KD is in the same boat because the same was said when 51 was on his head in game 1. Does Kd have “dog” in him.
Dekari Mckinzy KD doesn’t have much dog either but since game 1 he hasn’t run from the challenge. LeBron hasn’t guarded KD all series when it matters most. He doesn’t have to guard him the whole game but those last few minutes he needs to be on him
Literally no one is going to remember this game in 2 years lol
Shaq a gentle giant...no way!😂 shaq wanted to destroy you down low.
So Lebron wasn't a dog in game 6 eastern conf finals in 2012?
Where Ideas Matter I know that. But they said “never” tho lol
“Stephen A stop lying” one of the realest moment on TV ahaha
The only time we saw the dog in him was his first year in Miami when he won the championship
He lost the championship his first year in Miami
Not just lost (melt down) or the choosen one become the frozen one...
Players who had that "dog" in them
Michael Jordan
Allen Iverson
Kobe Bryant
Dwayne Wade
Russell Westbrook
Paul Pierce
Kevin Durant
Manu/Jackson/Parker
Kyrie Irving
They have that KILLER'S INSTINCT!!!!!!!

Every time LeBron loses a game spectators and NBA "has beens" say the same thing about LeBron. But when he wins a game or series they on they knees faster than a high school sweetheart at senior prom. LeBron is the goat because the expectations critics place on him is the highest anyone has ever seen.
Exactly!!!
It's funny to see almost the entire media turn on him because he doesn't drop 40 or 50. But after game 1 everyone except skip Bayless and a few other haters were eating him up. The NBA media is dumb, they cant seriously expect this man to score 50 a night.
testizel, 100%. LeBron is expected to win a series with 1 all star teammate vs a 4 all star team. If he is not a lock down defender while being his team's leading scorer and facilitator he sucks. If he does not make every shot in the 4th quarter he sucks. Score 51 pts but he sucks because Hill missed a free throw.
Jordan never had these kind of expectations. Everything great he did gets talked about all the time, any failures or negatives get excuses or ignored.
testizel that’s not how it works. You don’t become the GOAT from having high expectations. You Lebron nut huggers are silly.
The media did that to Kobe as well. They media tears you up to rip you down. This conversation is not what you are saying at all. I didn't hear anybody say LBJ wasn't great. To me it's good to hear former players who played the game give perspective. The GOAT is who you think is the GOAT. I'm a Kobe guy but LBJ is great. You and I can go back and forth about who's more clutch or who makes the right past, but it's all perspective and a fun debate. You think Bron is the GOAT and regardless of what I say you will still think Bron is the GOAT.
JR thinks they are ahead 3-0.
Gabriel Angelo Sanchez very underrated comment
LeBron said I ain't never gon be a ring chaser. Ooooookay
LeBron, was a different type of leader compared to Kobe and Michael Jordan. LEBRON, would lead players, empowering them and further developing players to have a winning personna. LeBron, also demonstrated by example what hard work and commitment to understanding the game. LeBron has been very successful with this approach. Leadership, is not about being a Pit Bull, but a FIRM and EMPOWERING LEADER.
Fool. Terrible leader. Joke of a leader. Straight trash. Classless player.
Uh. Lebron is playing 45min a night, and I wouldn't be surprised if he played 48 in game 4 like he did in vs boston. Cmon Shitlock get it together.
Ryan B Mostly because of his physical abilities ( never been seriously injured and that's good things to have) but not because he's a great competitor! Good competitor yes but not a great one
Ryan B, lol I know and Whitlock couldn't play 48 seconds in a game at the park.
I would agree if the teams were on equal footing
Isn't it amazing how fuzzy our memory gets after years of smoking the chronic? Stephen Jackson's championship ring should be a participation ring. I also distinctly remember the great Kobe Bryant refusing to take a shot in game 7 of the 2006 playoff game against the Kings. How quickly we forget.
Always a great show with Stephen and Chris on it.
"he will never be with mj and kobe" -facts
Yes, because he is better than both of them, win without scottie and Shaq , then you the goat
Aman Singh you are right lol he needs Dwayne wade and Chris Bosh or Kevin love and kyrie Irving to close the game.
@@prvideos8229 ok so same way mj and kobe needed help? difference is mj and kobe were never criticized for having help. Idiots like you are the ones who keep acting like nobody needs help to win a chip.
@@NBA3245890 Difference that Kobe and MJ stayed with there team.... they were killers.... can make freetrows and Kobe didn’t have to switch teams to win a chip .... GTFOH
detroit 48 special..
People talks about MJ and Kobe but what really gave them rings and created what they are is Phil Jackson. Media should give more credit to the coach more often
Anyone have a link to the clip they are talking about? I want to see that play now.
Lol "Steph and klay for Lebron" Chris is smoking something new today
His biggest weakness is obviously greed: when lebron demanded the max 2 years ago and also that they over pay his teammates that rich paul represents, he decided then that the money was more important than winning. The ballooning of the cap resulted in the loss of several pivital players they won the championship with. Kyrie warned him not to do this, but he did it anyways, strainning the relationship and after almost getting swept the next year, kyrie demanded to be traded.
He had been underpaid for years
Funny how they're talking about the 'dawg' in Lebron when Durant jumped ship to Warriors ... BS
super late reply lol but at the time i think the only reason they didnt bring that convo up is cuz they were non stop comparing mj to bron and i think they were just using that as the difference cuz nobody compared kd to mj lol
Lebron is a more physically gifted Magic. That's his category. He s on Rushmore. He s not better than MJ. Only bittermen Isaiah and Scottie, who have hated Jordan for years before LBJ, ever say otherwise as former player commentators. Bron is the Shaq of this generation. Dominant, spectacular, unique, awesome, but if he had more of that killer in him, he'd have more accomplishments/titles.
MJ, Kareem, Magic, Bird/Kobe are on Rushmore. He isn't even ahead IMO of Olajuwon and Duncan.

I’m with Whitlock on this one.
Yeah dude is not DOG because he witch out off KD on 1 play.
Well then your just as clueless as him lol. Something can't bring your legacy down if it was never part of your legacy to begin with.
I agree with Whitlock
matheo bavogui 1 play? Go watch the game again thankyou.
Look at how mad these kids getting 😭😂😭🤣 I LOVE IT
Having that dog mentality in today’s game doesn’t work. It just strokes ya egos to the point where it’s hard to play with you and win and ends your career much faster. That’s why I’m glad they brung up guys like I.T, A.I, and especially Westbrook because those were perfect examples. That actually doesn’t work for there argument.
Josh Lee It's 3-0 and your talking about what doesn't work???
They also said Michael
I also said in today’s game. Look at the Golden State. There best players are KD, Thompson, and Curry. None of them are dogs. Only dog on that team is Draymond and he’s there 4th best player.They play smart basketball. They not out there with that rebel dog mentality for themselves. They play for each other, and that’s what wins championships, and why they’ll have longer/successful careers unlike the guys mentioned who either retired early cause of injury laying everything on the line, or no one could play with them.
Josh Lee dude you making no sense 🤣🤣🤣🤣 curry, durant , clay all dogs. Curry the weakest link cause he the smallest but curry never gives up.
Josh Lee If you call yourself the King, you need some dog. If you claim to be the best in the world, you need some dog. None of those other guys run around claiming that they are chasing MJ. You can't chace MJ without dog in you. MJ had a long career with dog in him.

Do u guys remember that allstar game, i think it was 2013, where kobe and d wade had to get in lebron's face because he was playing so timidly. That moment shows you what he was made of.
I with u Broussard nice analysis.... to big to soon...
a bad game for lebron is a westbrook triple double. crazy
Ismael 4 LBJ is a bonified Russell Westbrook in terms of physical abilities (taller than him, weighs more than him), mindset of statpadding in a weaker conference! The only thing "solid" he has on Russell Westbrook is I.Q! Think about it, would LBJ go for 8 straight finals in the west?
And a good triple
Double for westbrook 48% shooting instead of his normal 38%-42%
Ismael 4.. padding stats. Wheres the effort on D?
No ones calling Westbrook the goat
Tired of Fools when you're forced to play 45+ a game doing everything for your team at age 33 you don't have enough energy for defense. To say LeBron is a stat padder is the dumbest thing anyone could ever say. This is coming from a warriors fan too
Where was “ The Dog” at in the players that say LeBron doesn’t have “The Dog” in him
Stephen Jackson had all types of dog in him. Of you don’t remember he ran into the stans with Ron artest in 2004s Malace at the Palace. He’s definitely a guy I want to ride with. Jim Jackson was another tough minded player. And no these two don’t come close to lebron offensively as a force. But they were rough and rugged dudes. That mentality isn’t measured by wins, but how you win and go about your business. And
Athlete or not we’re all allowed to have opinions
Alexander Boagni is Jim Jackson or Steven Jackson better than LeBron at any point in their career?
Tommy Bundy If you read my
Reply I clearly stated they were not on Lerbon’s level as an offensive
Force. I’m in no way saying they were even close to him. Please don’t twist the statement. And clearly you didn’t really read what I said. As I specified what I meant by dog when highlighting an
Incident where stack proved that. It’s a street term. Not every man walkin the planet has a dog in him.-----------------------Maybe “DOG” means something different to you which I’m fine with. But In my circle and and in others I’ve been in
A DOG is someone who has a killer mentality. Just because the skill isn’t thier to reach an elite / legendary level, doesn’t mean that it is absent in their player profile. I don’t connect it to skill. It’s an intangible . WILT VS RUSSELL. Prime example. ----------------------And LBJ has clearly not displayed this dog in many moments throughout His career, as a player like Stack has. Are his responsibilities lower yes. ----------------------But Mike and Kob’ did display it consistently. AND Why are they not allowed to critique what they see From him as a basketball player ? Yo,
Please check stacks tape. Dude was NOT a scrub. Neither was Jim Jackson.-----------------------So Is he above reproach? Is he so godly at basketball we can only say positive things as an opinion to be considered knowledgeable ? These are players who have actually played the game and gone up against him, as well as Mike and Kobe .
----------------------- and if you’re saying Stack and Jim Jackson can’t express their opinion since they’re not on his level l, which clearly they aren’t. Then why are we even commentating ? I know I’m not an nba player , and I’m sure you’re not. Lebron always needs the narrative controlled .-----------------------this is what concerns me about some Lbj fans, one can never say something against him without coming off as a lebron hater, a Jordansexual(which is hilarious ) or unworthy to talk about the game. I think it’s quite fair to state he doesn’t have the dog in him----------------------- 2009 they won 65 games flame
Out to Orlando in the ECF////////2010 Boston//////// 2011 Dallas//////// where was the killer? A man with his size , and that ability would beat those magic.
Evidence again of actual NBA players sayin mike and Kobe was different
Funny thing is, the players always say it but you cant tell the paid analyst that work for bron that
Lost 3 straight rounds against the pistons maybe he should of brought the “dog” out more
Albert edmond he brought the dog in him and SWEPT them
It was two
Its not about results its about will.
Albert edmond badboy pistons kept on hard fouling MJ everytime he attacks but still kept attacking. You miss the point of the video.
Albert edmond Why do you think the Pistons came up with the Jordan Rules?
bron got a kitten heart
Jackson ain't even qualified to speak on LeBron
This was some of the best complementation that I've ever heard this is what I've been waiting for sports analyst to actually say about LeBron James when you challenged him he does nothing about it so it's out in the open now and I'm glad that somebody else has witnessed this besides me as a sports fan thank you guys for getting this out in the open it's so true

1st time I agree with Whitlock
I love (genuinely, not fake) that possibilities in the NBA are so open, that not only can we really entertain the genuine possibility that Lebron could be go to Golden State, but after he decided to go to Los Angeles, then the Golden State Warriors pick up Boogie Cousins. I feel the NBA is in a great place when fantasy line-ups actually happen because it's a lot of fun to observe what happens. For me anyway. I don't feel the NBA is broken at all.
I've been saying this for yrs!! Finally ppl on tv actually telling it like it is!!!
