21:54 Touché I deserved that. Little did I know that we'd have a generational downfall when I made this video.😭 Big thank you for watching TheRealMindCrime. It's a real pleasure to see you and others enjoyed. Keeps me motivated despite everything I gotta deal with
What's up Commissioner!? Good to see ya. Hey man, my suns and your pistons are both in big trouble so nothin but love here. So many people in comments wanted me to react to this one badly. Turns out this is the vid that got a lot of people to subscribe to you and I see why lol. This video got me laughing uncontrollably man. Thank you so much and please keep going. You have become my favorite basketball channel.
Seriously, that Lavar Ball clip you put into your "Why the WNBA Sucks" video made me cry laughing. And though I rock with the Warriors, you're right about Draymond. You actually helped me see the BS he's done to the Warriors from an objective standpoint. Draymond is what happens when you make too many excuses for the homie's behavior. Steph and Klay, that's on you guys. Hypothetically, if his behavior got in the way of winning titles and Michael Jordan was on the team, Jordan would have checked his ass along time ago.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! How is this hard for people to understand? They keep talking about what he's doing in year 21. Of course he's doing it. The defense in the NBA is trash all together, and HE'S not playing defense. Plus, even on offense, he's lazy sometimes. He basically plays to get the stats that he wants, and if he can't get that, he quits. What's amazing about that?
Hell Commish made a video himself showing that LeBron hangs back on defense and barely plays it. He's been doing this for a decade. His supporters say it's because he's "preserving his energy for offense"
I'm having one of the hardest days of my life rn. You really couldn't know how much I needed something like this to take my mind off stuff. Thank you so much
Commish is the best at making ranting videos with logical arguments efficiently. The art of making serious videos with comedy gold. Your commentary and reactions add to it for the better.
@@Kings0424 you have no F clue then what it was, if you only talk about scoring you can tell you never saw it so SHHHHHHH if you don't know don't talk.
The fact that there is a fanbase that actually accepts and supports the current NBA product, should tell you everything about how the League has manufactured consent, and literally brainwashed a whole generation of fans into believing this is basketball. And James is the literal face of the NBA's decline. Not that his cognitive dissonance riddled Stanzboys would admit such a thing. #WeDoneWithLeBron
@bswizzle5227 Well I guess I'm one of them because I will always support the NBA and support my favorite team. I'm not a LeBron fan and never will be though
@@Kings0424 I absolutely respect your opinion, and the fact that you back your team, and not a player says a lot. I just feel the product is extremely watered down, and caters to players way too much.
@bswizzle5227 Yeah I agree with y'all saying about defense. I mean I'm an offensive guy myself but I do agree that there has to be like some level of balance in the NBA for offense and defense but I don't see it happening and it's not easy to do when you have Adam Sliver who really the only thing that he has taken seriously is banning Donald Sterling for life way back in 2014 and when you have a guy like LeBron who the media has been talking about almost everyday non-stop 24/7 and when it's him and his team getting all the attention, yeah that's not a good look. I don't see it changing unless LeBron retires and Adam Sliver stepping down as the Commissioner of the NBA
@bswizzle5227 Thanks man. I mean I always have been the type of person that always looks into like 2 sides of things to be honest because on one side, you have the oldheads saying like we need to go back to the 90s and stuff like that where more defense and more effort and on the other side people saying these players are most skilled, better shooters and better everything really so that's why I think that there has to be like some type of balance to the NBA so that the two sides won't just always argue with each other. Another thing is that maybe it's because I'm only 19 and haven't really gotten to that specific age to fully understand everything but I hate to say it and I'm one of them but nowadays nobody wants to sit at a 2 hour and a half or a 3 hour sports game where it's a low scoring defensive minded game, to be honest. I could be wrong but that's just my opinion
5:39 Can you imagine in the 2000s with a 1 v 1 competition? Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, Ray Allen, Baron Davis, Paul Pierce, Steve Francis and a young Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade etc going at it with their competitive fire? And also the bigs like Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Dirk Nowitzki, Chris Webber, Rasheed Wallace, Jermaine O'Neal, Chris Bosh etc going at it? It would have been must see TV. Now even if they implement it, the players dont care and they will just pull out because they dont want their ego hurt. They dont want to improve and prove in the court. They just want to run away and duck.
To me this is a Stat padding era, cause players cared only themselves damn near, triple double pretty much Mostly of the players with no defense and not everyone can watch the full game some people like LeBron, Westbrook and other worry only on stats then winning and that effect today game
I blame Lebron and Russ for it tbh. Especially Lebron he pretty much saves his entire career by averaging 27, 7, 7 and then people look at the stat sheets cus no one watches the game anymore and they say “it’s not his fault look at what he averaged” and now we’re in an era where if you average close to a triple double you’re pretty much safe from criticism no matter how you get your stats. As long as your averaging big numbers winning doesn’t matter, look at harden, Russ, Bron, Luka. People were ready to crown Luka a top 20 all time player simply because he’s almost getting a triple double
I agree with this video 100%. all these goofies that are ok with not calling traveling or double dribble are sorry as hell and are willing to cut corners than to play by the rules. The rules are there to keep it competitive. To have integrity. That’s why the nba is trash. There’s no real competition.
I like how nobody asks the question as to why Lebron is putting up same ppg he put up in his prime. League is turning all offence no defence so ppg and almost everything else is inflated.
exactly! the league has inflated yet his scoring hasn't. Thats how you know he's fallen off. It's like holding stocks but the price never goes up even though inflation is constantly rising. Not good asset! lol
@TheRealMindCrime Lebron is smart he knows people are just going to look at his offensive production so he just mails it in on defence. Plays in spurts gets his numbers in pockets. Which is ironic cause he said of his own mouth he’d never cheat the game yet that’s all he’s done in his twilight years in the nba
@@TheRealMindCrimehe’s “falling off” but he just avg 25/7/7 shooting 40% for 3pt. Just admit that you’re hating and stop beating around the bush bro. Bron lives rent free in yall heads..But this is good content tho🤣
Why??? PLEASE Unsubscribe from him. He wants to get both LeBron FANBOYS to subscribe to his channel by saying LeBron is the 2nd best ever after MJ, and he also wants LeBron HATERS (aka normal fans) to subscribe to his channel by OCCASIONALLY criticizing LeBron and berating the current sucky era. Dynamo THINKS - and has said ON THE RECORD - that Lebron is the 2nd best player ever. ANYBODY who SIMULTANEOUSLY thinks that cannot, and should not, be rewarded by subscribers. Dynamo: 1. "The NBA sucks now" AND 2. "Lebron," the ARCHITECT of this SUCKY era of the "point forward" (e.g. Luka, Harden, Jokic, Giannis etc), excessive 3s (e.g. LeBron has no midrange game), referees no longer calling the game according to the prescribed rules (LeBron TRAVELS religiously, CARRIES religiously, DOUBLE DRIBBLES religiously, OFFENSIVE FOULS his way to the rim religiously etc), and no-existent defense (LeBron hasnt played defense in 10 years), is somehow NOT THE PRIMARY REASON for this sucky era, and is the SECOND best player of all time. Those two premises are fundamentally IRRECONCILABLE. It's a CAUSAL relationship: the two LOWEST RATED NBA FINALS of the past 20 years both featured LeBron James: 2007 Finals and the 2020 Finals. Steph Curry briefly resuscitated the NBA's ratings decline in the mid 2010s, but he was the sui generis of basketball players in that his shooting was just so spectacular it drew in TONS of casual viewers. Dynamo is a FRAUD because ANYBODY who thinks LeBron Steroids James is the 2nd best player to ever live cannot and should not ever be taken seriously on ANY TOPIC that pertains to hoops. IMO the easiest way to delegitimize your entire basketball nous (fancy word for knowledge), is to say LeBron is the 2nd best player ever when the guy is 1-2 in the Finals vs a consensus top 10 player in Duncan (and really was a miracle Chris Bosh offensive rebound-cum-Ray Allen three point shot away from being 0-3 vs Duncan in the Finals), and 1-3 vs Curry in the Finals, another consensus top 20-25 player all time, despite having 2 other HOFers on his team most 3 of the 4 Finals and at least one other HOFer in the other 1 Final (2017/18).
2 things 1 load management makes you more prone to injuries 2 they are not more athletic because they have more mass, it's the opposite,the more mass they have the less cardio and endurance they can stand plus if you know anatomy you know their muscles are not natural,there is a big difference in natural muscle like nate thurmond and artis Gilmore, those guys were natural and athletic they had endurance, played all games and plus 40 mimutes on both sides.Muscles doesn't mean nothing if it did bodybuilders would run faster than runner,.Muscle does not equal force either.People have no clue of those things this is why this narrative exists plus the more muscle you have the more prone to injuries you are, this is why Dwight and shaq had a shorter prime than other past centers like kareem,they were too heavy and their bodies couldnt perform at max for long
I never watched basketball but this man is so entertaining with the rants. 'Ben Simmons, suspended for being a bitch!' Was basically what had me sub to his channel lol
Commissioner Dynamo is a FRAUD. I USED to be a subscriber of his until i literally heard him say "LeBron is the 2nd greatest player to ever live." I almost puked. The easiest way for me to ascertain whether or not you possess GENUINE hoops intelligence is WHERE you rank LeBron. ANYBODY who ranks LeBron ahead of Kobe, IMO, knows NOTHING - and I mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING - about hoops. I cannot take anybody seriously who has that take and i refuse to support anybody who is STILL propping up LeBalco Steroids James as the "2nd best player" of his era when it's not even clear that he's better than players of HIS era: Curry and Jokic - Curry has won more rings without another top 75 player than LeBalco AND Jokic has better advanced metrics than LeBalco, has a ring with FAR less help than any ring LeBalco has ever won, and clearly doesn't use PEDs. Heck, KD actually has BETTER career playoff averages than LeBron and BETTER Finals performances than LeBron. PLEASE Unsubscribe from Dynamo. He wants to get both LeBron FANBOYS to subscribe to his channel by saying LeBron is the 2nd best ever after MJ, and he also wants LeBron HATERS (aka normal fans) to subscribe to his channel by OCCASIONALLY criticizing LeBron and berating the current sucky era (which many fans implicitly attribute to LeBron). Dynamo THINKS - and has said ON THE RECORD - that Lebron is the 2nd best player ever. ANYBODY who SIMULTANEOUSLY thinks that cannot, and should not, be rewarded by subscribers. Dynamo: 1. "The NBA sucks now!!!!!" Also Dynamo: 2.

Those two premises are fundamentally IRRECONCILABLE. The most promoted "star" of the past 20 years, and the "face" of the league is RESPONSIBLE for the general trajectory of the league. When MJ and Kobe were the best players in the NBA, ratings were HIGH and competition was high. When LeBron became the face of the league (i refuse to call him the "best" player in the NBA), the ratings have FALLEN despite the NBA reaching into the European, South American, African, Canadian and Asian markets for enhanced global viewership. It's a CAUSAL relationship: the two LOWEST RATED NBA FINALS, by Nielson TV Ratings, of the past 20 years both featured LeBron James: 2007 Finals and the 2020 Finals.

LOVE your channel bro, but PLEASE don't subscribe to Dynamo. He's a fraud. Until he recants his "Lebron is the 2nd best player ever" which NOBODY with a real brain believes, I REFUSE to watch ANY of his content. My 2 cents. Peace and love bro. The lack of AUTHENTIC COMPETITION is destroying the league. The NBA is almost unwatchable now - and Lebron, imo, is the BIGGEST REASON for that. Period.
There’s such a strange disconnect with players: “I don’t wanna get clowned on Twitter” and “I don’t care what people think I’m rich enough to buy your house on a dare” like pick one 😂
It's rough. Make no mistake, needs a reset....but....Nuggs fans are super grateful every single time our boy hits the court. Watch him. His reaction time is quicker than snot, but the league thinks he's slow af. The one superstar not shown or mentioned in this entire vid. Because he is nothing like any player in this vid. Unique, humble, the best to ever lace them up imo Nuggs fans are so so fortunate
Have you seen the short animated film called "Dear Basketball" that Kobe won an oscar for? I thought he got the award out of some Hollywood bias. But then I watched it not knowing that the dialogue was from a letter Kobe wrote to his fans that he'd be retiring. So Kobe not only has the Larry O'Brian Trophy in one hand, but a literal Oscar in the other. How many players can say they won multiple championships, Gold medals, and an Oscar for his own work? Kobe Bean Bryant.
yes i have! It's a beautiful short story. I may have checked it out during a long kobe tribute video back in the day while drinking. Can't remember. I might try to do it again for a new tribute without the drinking lol
I remember when the NBA All Star game was a celebration of the league and they honored the players that came before and showcased the current players. They can't do that today because it would ruin the narrative that the previous generations of players were trash and so it would expose these current players for the fools gold that they are.
This guy is speaking for so many of us. Especially when he started talking about free throws. Thats all i would do is work on my free throws. Your shot will improve and you will get so many FREE points.
100% agreed still to this day my shooting routine starts and ends at the free through line. That's how I calibrate my shot. If I can't make a free throw then i have no business shooting a jumper or a 3
Basketball is an endurance sport. It doesn't need less games to determine who is better but more. Football is a sprinting sport which is why it has so few games. Soccer is an endurance sport and Pro teams in Europe play 3 different leagues at the same time during 1 season. Baseball is endurance. They play twice a day due to rest time of a normal game.
The difference between soccer n basketball is that u land on your feet on a hard surface vs soft surface where u can slide on the grass. One bad fall n ur career is changed 4 good.
@@youtubenightcrawler9571 They are both endurance sports. What nonsense are you talking about? Career ending injuries can happen in any sport where you do high risk maneuvers. You clearly don't watch soccer because you don't know what moves can end your career.
@@Dryltd true i dont watch soccer it may even be true both r endurance sports doesnt change the fact that bb players jump n have to land on hard wood jordan broke his foot fitst year in nba
@@Dryltd n most players r exhausted n get injured in the playoffs because of exhaustion so i have always thought less games might be better but freak atletes like jordan r thr exception not the rule
@@youtubenightcrawler9571 That's ridiculous. Exhausted? Are they athletes or coach potatoes. Clearly they aren't exercising for their sport if they are Exhausted. We have sports models who look great for photos but that's not the body for every sport. Too low body fat causes craps and heat exhaustion. If you play an endurance game you have to avoid too low body fat. Also, it's a team sport to avoid exhaustion. The NBA isn't a 1v1 league.
Have you ever heard Commissioner Dynamo rant about the historic streak of losses for Detroit last year? He was so funny...and I learned stuff. Like I had no idea Detroit had a feral dog infestation! Packs of feral dogs (like 50k dogs) were terrorizing Detroit neighborhoods. 😂 I think Dynamo said he was chased or attacked or bitten or something. How wild is that?
8:49 I remember there was a Nuggets game where Denver was on a 3 on 1 fast break and instead of going all the way to the basket, they decided to stop outside the 3 point line and shoot. That is when you know that fundamental basketball is dead. The midrange game is close to dead and the post game is non-existent unless you are Joel Embiid or Nikola Jokic. Back in the day all guards could post up, now they cant post-up to save their lives.
I can't wait to see Zach Edey come into the league and legitimately be an old school big man posting up on guys and prove that style of play is still good.
The original videos are nice to watch, but your commentary makes them substantially better. I was watching a non-sports doc last week and what crossed my mind was how much better it would be to hear your commentary right along with it. Lol.
Those players so weak, in my opinion, for not wanting to do something simple that the fans LOVE like the dunk contest. The fans buy your merchandise, the fans buy tickets, the fans watch the games on TV generating ad revenue which generates the massive TV deals which in turn generates a massive sum which the players are entitled to. The fans made possible for these guys to have generational wealth and they can't even do something for the fans like the dunk contest. Stuff like this is a lot of why I don't like the modern NBA. They just don't seem to care about the fans much anymore. MJ and Dominique they took it seriously and competed for the fans. Where is that in the NBA today?
I don't think they don't care, they are scared and afraid that a loss will end their money stream. And ofc, they're scared cause they know they have no skill, most of them. I played for a couple of hours some pickup bb on a court near me. I'm 40 years old, no fat but well, age...There was a kid, jump like crazy, tall. When we got into a 5 vs 5 and he had someone on him defending, a smaller guy as well, he couldn't do shit cause, wait for it, he couldn't shoot and he always traveled . We tried to explain to him, we could give him 1 step but not 2 or 3 more. Even when someone asked him what are the rules you know what he said? "Nba plays the same"... I rest my case
3:05 the All Star Game died with Kobe Bryant retiring in 2016. When you back to the Magic/Bird days, the Isiah/Jordan days or the Kobe/Iverson/McGrady/Carter days, the All Star Games were competitive. The 1988 was competitive, the 1993 was competitive, the 1998 one where a young Kobe was going at it with Jordan in Madison Square Garden, the 2001 All Star game with one of the best finishes, the 2003 All Star Game with Michael Jordan's final ever All Star Game, really loved the 2005 and 06 All Star Game as well and the 2011 and 2012 All Star games. Ever since Kobe retired in 2016, I count only one All Star game that was good, the 2020 one in Chicago where they commemorate Kobe's death with a great game, and another decent one in 2022 with the 75th Anniversary. It was terrible for the most part. Even the dunk contests and skills competition were lackluster.
yeah he definitely has improved. He needs a post game next. either a fadaway jumper or a hook shot because soon he won't be able to just bully in the paint. I hope he adapts his game so he can stay dominant for years to come
12:50 The NBA as a whole, always takes the face of the lead superstar. Whether its Magic and Bird in the 80s, Jordan in the 90s, Kobe and Duncan in the 00s, it always goes in the direction of the lead superstar. When LeBron is doing flops as egregious as that, thats what the league is channeling.
Bring back ROCK N JOCK celebrity basketball. That was a whole lot more fun to watch. No team was out of it once they lowered that 25 point basket lol. I think it was MTV who hosted it. The biggest reason they don't try, especially on defense is fear. They care too much about what people think. They don't want to be on the receiving end of a poster. I 100% agree. There are so many ideas but they won't try, which is why I say bring back Rock N Jock Basketball. It was entertaining, fun, and at times hilarious.
On those 4 on 5s, the ref should grow a spine & call a technical AFTER the other team scores. In other words show these prima Donna’s how sh@tty they are for not getting back plus costing them another point so the world can see how gross the behavior is. Give the game announcers time to explain how despicable that is to your team and how selfish the individual is. Of course that won’t even matter because the announcers are all for that crap and have no balls to call these fools out. Coaches won’t bench the scumbags who constantly do it either so nothing really matters. Sad to say I think it’s beyond repair at this point
What has never made sense to me is that people constantly call for players to be fined for flopping. I don't understand the logic here, best case you just price non-star players out of flopping and the star players keep doing it. What actually needs to happen is that any player who flops gets ejected for AT LEAST one game so that the TEAM is impacted.
that would work if they weren't getting paid for those days off though. If they got suspended without pay for a few games that would do the trick though
@@TheRealMindCrime I guess I have a different perspective. Is it gross that players flop and load manage? Absolutely but do you REALLY think the players are the primary reason we're seeing it so much more frequently? Personally I think in most cases management/coaches have made the short sighted calculation that it's better to erode the merit of the game with all this garbage and until the league actually punishes the source things will just get worse until we're basically watching soccer.
LeBron brought some cheap gifts to the fellas on INSIDE the other day and said, “Health is Wealth.” I forgot what the context was, but I remember that being too rhyme-y and too catchy a phrase to think up on-the-spot. It sounded suspiciously like person motto, and that’s when I knew… these guys don’t care especially Mr. Longevity. He could’ve have been great if he played HARD for 8-10 years and hung it up… leaving it all out of the court. Instead - like many others - he saved it up to milk that cash cow the NBA has become.
It's funny, I have said the same thing as you just said. If I was guaranteed 200+ million no matter if I played or not...yeah...it's possible my priorities might change! 😂
it's hard to admit but i'm human lol. If I got paid per game or something I'd definitely play harder but if that money is guarenteed then what's my motivation anymore?
They say they are the most skilled, but the skills competition showed how bad they are with fundamentals. They only know how to shoot in 2 positions: layups and three-pointers. 😂
No post moves, no footwork, no reverse layup in either hands, no hooks, no fadeways, no midrange, no finish on contact, they rather flail their arms like dancing balloons, all they do is exploit the rules that refs don't whistle anymore: travels, carrys, sliding or lifting it with just toes touchung the floor, it called a pivot foot not pivot toes, the balls of your foot should be on the ground 😂
Jordan tore his meniscus playing for Washington he was off the floor in under 2 seconds trying to run back on defense He made it like 10 steps then realized he couldn't but he TRIED getting back on defense Just saying
Plus, I heard jordan say he wouldn't miss a game because he realized his fans pay good money to come see him play, so at least he can do is show up and put on a show and he loved the game so much it was hard to keep him away from the game to begin with
Yup! Kobe inherited that philosophy too. Its true too. People save up for these tickets so not showing up for the "show" game is ripping off the fans paying their salaries
If im not mistaken, in the MLB, players get paid for the games they play. If they get injured, they only get a fraction of what they would if they were playing. If the NBA implemented that in the contracts, i bet players play more games. But, it has become "entertainment" and you are watching athletes/actors; think WWE.
You know why the WNBA allstar was fun? because it was competitive. you know why it was competitive? because both sides had something to prove. the allstars wanted to prove they deserve a spot in team USA and the girls from team USA wanted to prove they deserve their spots.
After Kobe there no more this thing called basketball players all shooter from 3. No defend no tactics all acting high paid and play less. Well done Sliver you destroy the NBA. Look at DPOY and regular MVP do they play a full season? As always bro you have a great day ahead
it's sad that they now have to set a minimum amount of games played now to win awards. Too many players are cheating the system and getting paid big bucks while just chillin in street clothes
At this point the NBA is so bad and childish, they might have to start taking attendance and pay the players based on the percentage of games they do participate in. Refs should be monitored and if they miss calls or make bad calls; for each game, missing/making bad calls a certain number of times (ex. 5-10) should decrease their ref'ing credibility score & a certain number (ex. 10+) should be automatic firing and investigation for possible game tempering. Flops should be fined a minimum $100k-500k each to eliminate such behavior. Players talk with the refs but arguing with refs if without proper reason should just result in a technical. NBA was great in the 90s then it slowly went downhill. Recent years have just been horrendous esp with the examples shown in the vid & LBJ news
Just to add on the bandwagon. Can we talk about the clothing materials too. Why don’t coaches wear suits anymore? It used to look so professional, now they look like a bunch of lazy coaches, can you imagine Pat Riley in a warm up sweater? And the constantly changing jerseys year after year is awful.
12:30 Jordan actually was decently efficient with 3s. About Steph’s level. He didn’t shoot that many because that was game flowthen. You worried about runouts on misses. Then, someone said “well Drexler’s better than you he can hit the 3”. Cue Jordan bombing on the Blazers in the finals. These dudes are pros. They practice what their coach tells them too. If Jackson said “bomb 3s” ya think maybe Jordan Pippen Kerr Kukoc may have made a couple?
Oh for sure. He knocked 3s down whenever needed. Heck, Wilt never shot 3s in games but i saw a vid of him swishing sky hook 3s over and over while messing around
The punishment for flopping should be you get a finger on your off hand snapped by some old MMA guy on call. LeFlop will be Le-16 points a game after that. The same thing should happen every time he does the "Lebron pose" ie hands out/palms up to screaming at the refs while he leaves his teammates on 4 on 5's.
I just saw US-Serbia at the 95-91 Olympics. The Serbs could have won, if they didn't miss at the end of the game. The chance for the US team was called Steph Curry. What could be observed: - the best teams and the best NBA players can be kept under 100 points if there is a good defense. So we have an inflation of points in the NBA. Proven fact! - The US team had good players, but they were not used to facing a good defense and not making steps, travels, etc. We rejoice at "fake" statistics when we should rejoice if they were better NBA players. Today's NBA myth: scores, points, statistics - busted!
I simply dk HOW FANS TODAY can say with a straight face that today’s NBA is not only better BUT more profitable because of LeBron. With the audacity to say that all the Lakers games that were featured on TV was the highest rated in 30 years 😂😂😂
@JayDay32 Yeah but most people like me doesn't want to watch 2 and a half hours of a low scoring defensive battle game and besides I'm more of an offensive guy myself and love offense
People in real life do this shi too believe it or not, god forbid you end up in a gym with young guys who think they're going somewhere already (or raised by them mama)
The kids trashing the older players nees to understand that the 3 point line down exist in the NBA or NCAA until 1980-ish. So before that they were shooting 2s no matter where they were on the court. It wasn't until Larry Bird started winning 3 point contests in the mid-80s that big men started to become long ball shooters.
I can’t even play pickup basketball because the game is played so terribly. No hustle on d, chucking up threes, and going one on one. The arguing, lack of integrity, and lack of any real competitiveness has me just working on my game by myself. I get a better workout that way.
@@TheRealMindCrime we were inspired by men playing ball. They played to be the best, which meant playing to win it all and earn their payday. You have these boys today who are athletically talented, lacking in skills, wanting to be paid on potential, and then say things like rings don’t matter. Winning isn’t everything is a loser’s mentality.
This is what too much, too soon looks like.... Nobody cares about championships anymore, winning for this generation is becoming a millionaire and a social media star...... And they have the nerve to say that OGs had no skill 😂😂😂😂
When it comes to playing all star games if it is such a big honour for players to be named then why isn’t the game itself taken seriously??!! No matter how hard I try I just cannot fathom ,how much everyone, in and around the big 4 major leagues sports , talks about all star games and career ending injuries?? Like basketball has an 82 game season and it’s the nba it’s pretty solid but basically it’s non contact sport and players aren’t exactly dropping like flies from injury on a nightly basis. So why does everyone freak out about one game a year when the best of the best can test themselves against each other and give fans an amazing higher quality game to watch is given the name exhibition match and everyone has been brainwashed into thinking collectively this doesn’t mean nothing and playing for your actual team shouldn’t ever be affected and they have fixated upon the probability of injuries increasing exponentially if you take it serious. There is absolutely no truth in this whatsoever in fact from everything we know about sports it’s the exact opposite the harder you go the safer it is but somehow this has been confused over the years and continuing to play half hearted and randomly in these games will eventually get a casualty . And I guarantee you would feel like the biggest ahole on earth being ruled out of the rest of the season for an exhibition game but you call it an allstar game and make it mean something then you might not feel as much regret cause you where taking it seriously like the it was the finals
yup lol. I'd take that deal right now. Gimme my guarenteed money. I'll break my own leg and get courtside seats for a whole season while getting paid nearly a million dollars each game I watch
Youd think with all the money players get paid today they would at least feel an obligation to compete each chance they got. The players to me didn't look like the most skilled players of all time during the skills challenge.
no I don't think so. If they had to earn it then they would appreciate it but people like Bronny James coming in and getting 8 mil promised to him without doing a damn thing makes these guys not need to care about winning
@@TheRealMindCrime I remember watching MIchael Jordan's interview on the Oprah show where they brought Charles Barkley on wearing and showing off some of the latest Jordan brand clothing line. This was after MJ left the Wizards to retire for good and before MJ and Charles had a falling out as friends. It's a great interview to watch and Charles with MJ together was always funny to watch. But I remember MJ being asked by Oprah about what he thought of the new young talent coming into the league back then. Jordan said that the one thing he didn't like is that they were being given all this money on expectation and before they had even stepped on an NBA floor to prove their worth as players. He said it leads to players not appreciating the game and MJ's worry was that it would lower the true love of the game that future players might have. Now at the time I sort of understood what Jordan was saying but not completely. I was younger then but those words by MJ really stand out and hold true today even more so back then when he said it.
They’re lying about how much they get so they can overprice the fans at the stadiums and to oversell these players as the best, that’s why they have to do podcast and become analysts after their careers, it’s all a facade

Big thank you for watching TheRealMindCrime. It's a real pleasure to see you and others enjoyed. Keeps me motivated despite everything I gotta deal with
What's up Commissioner!? Good to see ya. Hey man, my suns and your pistons are both in big trouble so nothin but love here. So many people in comments wanted me to react to this one badly. Turns out this is the vid that got a lot of people to subscribe to you and I see why lol. This video got me laughing uncontrollably man. Thank you so much and please keep going. You have become my favorite basketball channel.
Seriously, that Lavar Ball clip you put into your "Why the WNBA Sucks" video made me cry laughing. And though I rock with the Warriors, you're right about Draymond. You actually helped me see the BS he's done to the Warriors from an objective standpoint. Draymond is what happens when you make too many excuses for the homie's behavior. Steph and Klay, that's on you guys. Hypothetically, if his behavior got in the way of winning titles and Michael Jordan was on the team, Jordan would have checked his ass along time ago.
No wonder lebron is still able to play. Between arguing with refs during the game and not playing defense. Hell anyone could play forever. 😂
THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! How is this hard for people to understand? They keep talking about what he's doing in year 21. Of course he's doing it. The defense in the NBA is trash all together, and HE'S not playing defense. Plus, even on offense, he's lazy sometimes. He basically plays to get the stats that he wants, and if he can't get that, he quits. What's amazing about that?
Not to mention all his crying gets him free throws and essentially free timeouts
@@alexsantiago3181 He's the biggest guy on the court most of the time, yet he's the biggest crybaby.
Hell Commish made a video himself showing that LeBron hangs back on defense and barely plays it. He's been doing this for a decade.
His supporters say it's because he's "preserving his energy for offense"
And the steroids
Dame Lillard saying he doesn’t like what the nba has become, when he is the epitome of todays nba
He's trash.
yup!
I'm having one of the hardest days of my life rn. You really couldn't know how much I needed something like this to take my mind off stuff. Thank you so much
I totally get it. Hang in there adam. After the storm the clouds will part and that sunshine will break through.
Keep fighting bro!
@adamlauer1096 - likewise with my week, but we need to stay strong. Take the laughs when you can.

Commish is the best at making ranting videos with logical arguments efficiently. The art of making serious videos with comedy gold. Your commentary and reactions add to it for the better.

Yes, I love watching his videos. Lol

The NBA today is nothing like it used to be and it needs to go back to it's old-school style of play
@claytonphillips85 Oh hell nah bruh. Most people like myself doesn't want to see low scoring ass defensive games

@@seebbsss HE is a kings fan bro, Enough said lol
The fact that there is a fanbase that actually accepts and supports the current NBA product, should tell you everything about how the League has manufactured consent, and literally brainwashed a whole generation of fans into believing this is basketball.
And James is the literal face of the NBA's decline. Not that his cognitive dissonance riddled Stanzboys would admit such a thing.
#WeDoneWithLeBron
@bswizzle5227 Well I guess I'm one of them because I will always support the NBA and support my favorite team. I'm not a LeBron fan and never will be though
@@Kings0424 I absolutely respect your opinion, and the fact that you back your team, and not a player says a lot. I just feel the product is extremely watered down, and caters to players way too much.
@bswizzle5227 Yeah I agree with y'all saying about defense. I mean I'm an offensive guy myself but I do agree that there has to be like some level of balance in the NBA for offense and defense but I don't see it happening and it's not easy to do when you have Adam Sliver who really the only thing that he has taken seriously is banning Donald Sterling for life way back in 2014 and when you have a guy like LeBron who the media has been talking about almost everyday non-stop 24/7 and when it's him and his team getting all the attention, yeah that's not a good look. I don't see it changing unless LeBron retires and Adam Sliver stepping down as the Commissioner of the NBA
@@Kings0424 all facts. Respect bro.
@bswizzle5227 Thanks man. I mean I always have been the type of person that always looks into like 2 sides of things to be honest because on one side, you have the oldheads saying like we need to go back to the 90s and stuff like that where more defense and more effort and on the other side people saying these players are most skilled, better shooters and better everything really so that's why I think that there has to be like some type of balance to the NBA so that the two sides won't just always argue with each other. Another thing is that maybe it's because I'm only 19 and haven't really gotten to that specific age to fully understand everything but I hate to say it and I'm one of them but nowadays nobody wants to sit at a 2 hour and a half or a 3 hour sports game where it's a low scoring defensive minded game, to be honest. I could be wrong but that's just my opinion
This is the video that got me into his channel! Still an amazing video and funny as hell!
nice! I found Dynamo in his "We dun with the 20's" vid. He got me laughing so damn hard lol
5:39 Can you imagine in the 2000s with a 1 v 1 competition? Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, Ray Allen, Baron Davis, Paul Pierce, Steve Francis and a young Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade etc going at it with their competitive fire? And also the bigs like Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Dirk Nowitzki, Chris Webber, Rasheed Wallace, Jermaine O'Neal, Chris Bosh etc going at it? It would have been must see TV. Now even if they implement it, the players dont care and they will just pull out because they dont want their ego hurt. They dont want to improve and prove in the court. They just want to run away and duck.
To me this is a Stat padding era, cause players cared only themselves damn near, triple double pretty much Mostly of the players with no defense and not everyone can watch the full game some people like LeBron, Westbrook and other worry only on stats then winning and that effect today game
I blame Lebron and Russ for it tbh. Especially Lebron he pretty much saves his entire career by averaging 27, 7, 7 and then people look at the stat sheets cus no one watches the game anymore and they say “it’s not his fault look at what he averaged” and now we’re in an era where if you average close to a triple double you’re pretty much safe from criticism no matter how you get your stats. As long as your averaging big numbers winning doesn’t matter, look at harden, Russ, Bron, Luka. People were ready to crown Luka a top 20 all time player simply because he’s almost getting a triple double
@someguy2385 At least Luka is more of a clutch player in the playoffs then Russ, LeBron and my boy Harden combined
agreed! players like Lebron, Harden, Russ, and others paved the way to just getting empty stats and get rewarded for it.
4:35 he announced it during the 2009 All Star weekend that he would take part in the 2010 Dunk Contest. He never did.
I agree with this video 100%. all these goofies that are ok with not calling traveling or double dribble are sorry as hell and are willing to cut corners than to play by the rules. The rules are there to keep it competitive. To have integrity. That’s why the nba is trash. There’s no real competition.
you definitely get it!
I like how nobody asks the question as to why Lebron is putting up same ppg he put up in his prime. League is turning all offence no defence so ppg and almost everything else is inflated.
exactly! the league has inflated yet his scoring hasn't. Thats how you know he's fallen off. It's like holding stocks but the price never goes up even though inflation is constantly rising. Not good asset! lol
@TheRealMindCrime Lebron is smart he knows people are just going to look at his offensive production so he just mails it in on defence. Plays in spurts gets his numbers in pockets. Which is ironic cause he said of his own mouth he’d never cheat the game yet that’s all he’s done in his twilight years in the nba
@@TheRealMindCrimehe’s “falling off” but he just avg 25/7/7 shooting 40% for 3pt. Just admit that you’re hating and stop beating around the bush bro. Bron lives rent free in yall heads..But this is good content tho🤣
Ahh yes, the video that made me sub to Dynamo lmao
Same
Why??? PLEASE Unsubscribe from him. He wants to get both LeBron FANBOYS to subscribe to his channel by saying LeBron is the 2nd best ever after MJ, and he also wants LeBron HATERS (aka normal fans) to subscribe to his channel by OCCASIONALLY criticizing LeBron and berating the current sucky era. Dynamo THINKS - and has said ON THE RECORD - that Lebron is the 2nd best player ever. ANYBODY who SIMULTANEOUSLY thinks that cannot, and should not, be rewarded by subscribers.
Dynamo:
1. "The NBA sucks now"
AND
2. "Lebron," the ARCHITECT of this SUCKY era of the "point forward" (e.g. Luka, Harden, Jokic, Giannis etc), excessive 3s (e.g. LeBron has no midrange game), referees no longer calling the game according to the prescribed rules (LeBron TRAVELS religiously, CARRIES religiously, DOUBLE DRIBBLES religiously, OFFENSIVE FOULS his way to the rim religiously etc), and no-existent defense (LeBron hasnt played defense in 10 years), is somehow NOT THE PRIMARY REASON for this sucky era, and is the SECOND best player of all time.
Those two premises are fundamentally IRRECONCILABLE.
It's a CAUSAL relationship: the two LOWEST RATED NBA FINALS of the past 20 years both featured LeBron James:
2007 Finals and the 2020 Finals.
Steph Curry briefly resuscitated the NBA's ratings decline in the mid 2010s, but he was the sui generis of basketball players in that his shooting was just so spectacular it drew in TONS of casual viewers.
Dynamo is a FRAUD because ANYBODY who thinks LeBron Steroids James is the 2nd best player to ever live cannot and should not ever be taken seriously on ANY TOPIC that pertains to hoops.
IMO the easiest way to delegitimize your entire basketball nous (fancy word for knowledge), is to say LeBron is the 2nd best player ever when the guy is 1-2 in the Finals vs a consensus top 10 player in Duncan (and really was a miracle Chris Bosh offensive rebound-cum-Ray Allen three point shot away from being 0-3 vs Duncan in the Finals), and 1-3 vs Curry in the Finals, another consensus top 20-25 player all time, despite having 2 other HOFers on his team most 3 of the 4 Finals and at least one other HOFer in the other 1 Final (2017/18).
Ditto. Still his finest work IMO
nice!!!! mine was the We Dun with the 20's vid lol
2 things 1 load management makes you more prone to injuries 2 they are not more athletic because they have more mass, it's the opposite,the more mass they have the less cardio and endurance they can stand plus if you know anatomy you know their muscles are not natural,there is a big difference in natural muscle like nate thurmond and artis Gilmore, those guys were natural and athletic they had endurance, played all games and plus 40 mimutes on both sides.Muscles doesn't mean nothing if it did bodybuilders would run faster than runner,.Muscle does not equal force either.People have no clue of those things this is why this narrative exists plus the more muscle you have the more prone to injuries you are, this is why Dwight and shaq had a shorter prime than other past centers like kareem,they were too heavy and their bodies couldnt perform at max for long
I never watched basketball but this man is so entertaining with the rants. 'Ben Simmons, suspended for being a bitch!' Was basically what had me sub to his channel lol
lol I wanna check that out too
Happy to see Dynamo being seen more. Dude is fucking funny
Commissioner Dynamo is a FRAUD. I USED to be a subscriber of his until i literally heard him say "LeBron is the 2nd greatest player to ever live." I almost puked. The easiest way for me to ascertain whether or not you possess GENUINE hoops intelligence is WHERE you rank LeBron. ANYBODY who ranks LeBron ahead of Kobe, IMO, knows NOTHING - and I mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING - about hoops. I cannot take anybody seriously who has that take and i refuse to support anybody who is STILL propping up LeBalco Steroids James as the "2nd best player" of his era when it's not even clear that he's better than players of HIS era: Curry and Jokic - Curry has won more rings without another top 75 player than LeBalco AND Jokic has better advanced metrics than LeBalco, has a ring with FAR less help than any ring LeBalco has ever won, and clearly doesn't use PEDs. Heck, KD actually has BETTER career playoff averages than LeBron and BETTER Finals performances than LeBron.
PLEASE Unsubscribe from Dynamo. He wants to get both LeBron FANBOYS to subscribe to his channel by saying LeBron is the 2nd best ever after MJ, and he also wants LeBron HATERS (aka normal fans) to subscribe to his channel by OCCASIONALLY criticizing LeBron and berating the current sucky era (which many fans implicitly attribute to LeBron). Dynamo THINKS - and has said ON THE RECORD - that Lebron is the 2nd best player ever. ANYBODY who SIMULTANEOUSLY thinks that cannot, and should not, be rewarded by subscribers.

2.

Those two premises are fundamentally IRRECONCILABLE. The most promoted "star" of the past 20 years, and the "face" of the league is RESPONSIBLE for the general trajectory of the league. When MJ and Kobe were the best players in the NBA, ratings were HIGH and competition was high. When LeBron became the face of the league (i refuse to call him the "best" player in the NBA), the ratings have FALLEN despite the NBA reaching into the European, South American, African, Canadian and Asian markets for enhanced global viewership.

My 2 cents.
Peace and love bro.
The lack of AUTHENTIC COMPETITION is destroying the league. The NBA is almost unwatchable now - and Lebron, imo, is the BIGGEST REASON for that. Period.
me too! His channel is blowing up. I'm so happy for him. Really nice dude
There’s such a strange disconnect with players: “I don’t wanna get clowned on Twitter” and “I don’t care what people think I’m rich enough to buy your house on a dare” like pick one 😂
lol!
It's rough. Make no mistake, needs a reset....but....Nuggs fans are super grateful every single time our boy hits the court.
Watch him.
His reaction time is quicker than snot, but the league thinks he's slow af.
The one superstar not shown or mentioned in this entire vid. Because he is nothing like any player in this vid. Unique, humble, the best to ever lace them up imo
Nuggs fans are so so fortunate
absolutely! Jokic has been getting me excited about basketball again.
Have you seen the short animated film called "Dear Basketball" that Kobe won an oscar for? I thought he got the award out of some Hollywood bias. But then I watched it not knowing that the dialogue was from a letter Kobe wrote to his fans that he'd be retiring. So Kobe not only has the Larry O'Brian Trophy in one hand, but a literal Oscar in the other. How many players can say they won multiple championships, Gold medals, and an Oscar for his own work? Kobe Bean Bryant.
yes i have! It's a beautiful short story. I may have checked it out during a long kobe tribute video back in the day while drinking. Can't remember. I might try to do it again for a new tribute without the drinking lol
@@TheRealMindCrime 👍
If you noticed Lebron didn't know what side of his head to grab when he acted like he got fouled.
hahahahaha
I remember when the NBA All Star game was a celebration of the league and they honored the players that came before and showcased the current players. They can't do that today because it would ruin the narrative that the previous generations of players were trash and so it would expose these current players for the fools gold that they are.
Winning a game off dolphin activity is funny as heck
lol!
I am so glad you chose this one🤣🤣
it was thanks to the comments that i chose this one lol I can't take any credit for it
This guy is speaking for so many of us. Especially when he started talking about free throws. Thats all i would do is work on my free throws. Your shot will improve and you will get so many FREE points.
100% agreed
still to this day my shooting routine starts and ends at the free through line. That's how I calibrate my shot. If I can't make a free throw then i have no business shooting a jumper or a 3
In reality man it sucks NBA has come to this, but well done on the vid. I was cracking up. Thanks for sharing his video to us.
Dynamo gets the credit! He is brilliant
Basketball is an endurance sport. It doesn't need less games to determine who is better but more. Football is a sprinting sport which is why it has so few games. Soccer is an endurance sport and Pro teams in Europe play 3 different leagues at the same time during 1 season. Baseball is endurance. They play twice a day due to rest time of a normal game.
The difference between soccer n basketball is that u land on your feet on a hard surface vs soft surface where u can slide on the grass. One bad fall n ur career is changed 4 good.
@@youtubenightcrawler9571 They are both endurance sports. What nonsense are you talking about? Career ending injuries can happen in any sport where you do high risk maneuvers. You clearly don't watch soccer because you don't know what moves can end your career.
@@Dryltd true i dont watch soccer it may even be true both r endurance sports doesnt change the fact that bb players jump n have to land on hard wood jordan broke his foot fitst year in nba

@@youtubenightcrawler9571 That's ridiculous. Exhausted? Are they athletes or coach potatoes. Clearly they aren't exercising for their sport if they are Exhausted. We have sports models who look great for photos but that's not the body for every sport. Too low body fat causes craps and heat exhaustion. If you play an endurance game you have to avoid too low body fat. Also, it's a team sport to avoid exhaustion. The NBA isn't a 1v1 league.
LET’S GO!!!!! This was my introduction to the Comish

OMG it's time for laughter, master dynamo hahahaha 🤣
time to laugh!
Have you ever heard Commissioner Dynamo rant about the historic streak of losses for Detroit last year? He was so funny...and I learned stuff. Like I had no idea Detroit had a feral dog infestation! Packs of feral dogs (like 50k dogs) were terrorizing Detroit neighborhoods. 😂 I think Dynamo said he was chased or attacked or bitten or something. How wild is that?
8:49 I remember there was a Nuggets game where Denver was on a 3 on 1 fast break and instead of going all the way to the basket, they decided to stop outside the 3 point line and shoot. That is when you know that fundamental basketball is dead. The midrange game is close to dead and the post game is non-existent unless you are Joel Embiid or Nikola Jokic. Back in the day all guards could post up, now they cant post-up to save their lives.
I can't wait to see Zach Edey come into the league and legitimately be an old school big man posting up on guys and prove that style of play is still good.
I hope the team that gets him allows him to play old school ball.
@@TheRealMindCrime He's a Grizzly & most likely going to be in their starting line-up when the seasons starts.
The original videos are nice to watch, but your commentary makes them substantially better. I was watching a non-sports doc last week and what crossed my mind was how much better it would be to hear your commentary right along with it. Lol.

Dude I am so glad you knew what the G4/Frosk meme was lmao
Lol!!! 🤓
Those players so weak, in my opinion, for not wanting to do something simple that the fans LOVE like the dunk contest. The fans buy your merchandise, the fans buy tickets, the fans watch the games on TV generating ad revenue which generates the massive TV deals which in turn generates a massive sum which the players are entitled to. The fans made possible for these guys to have generational wealth and they can't even do something for the fans like the dunk contest. Stuff like this is a lot of why I don't like the modern NBA. They just don't seem to care about the fans much anymore. MJ and Dominique they took it seriously and competed for the fans. Where is that in the NBA today?
I don't think they don't care, they are scared and afraid that a loss will end their money stream. And ofc, they're scared cause they know they have no skill, most of them. I played for a couple of hours some pickup bb on a court near me. I'm 40 years old, no fat but well, age...There was a kid, jump like crazy, tall. When we got into a 5 vs 5 and he had someone on him defending, a smaller guy as well, he couldn't do shit cause, wait for it, he couldn't shoot and he always traveled . We tried to explain to him, we could give him 1 step but not 2 or 3 more. Even when someone asked him what are the rules you know what he said? "Nba plays the same"... I rest my case
NBA is only teamsport with these problems. Players have too much power and money. Hope they do something about flopping
agreed. way too much power
Dynamo's getting my sub from this masterpiece!
Nice!!
Another awesome vid mindcrime
thank you!!!
3:05 the All Star Game died with Kobe Bryant retiring in 2016. When you back to the Magic/Bird days, the Isiah/Jordan days or the Kobe/Iverson/McGrady/Carter days, the All Star Games were competitive. The 1988 was competitive, the 1993 was competitive, the 1998 one where a young Kobe was going at it with Jordan in Madison Square Garden, the 2001 All Star game with one of the best finishes, the 2003 All Star Game with Michael Jordan's final ever All Star Game, really loved the 2005 and 06 All Star Game as well and the 2011 and 2012 All Star games. Ever since Kobe retired in 2016, I count only one All Star game that was good, the 2020 one in Chicago where they commemorate Kobe's death with a great game, and another decent one in 2022 with the 75th Anniversary. It was terrible for the most part. Even the dunk contests and skills competition were lackluster.
Peak Commissioner
He's great!
Honestly giannis has improved his jumpshot and free throws a lot he hit like 13/16 the other day but saying that about Simmons and lebron makes sense
yeah he definitely has improved. He needs a post game next. either a fadaway jumper or a hook shot because soon he won't be able to just bully in the paint. I hope he adapts his game so he can stay dominant for years to come
Love the commissioner
commiss' is awesome
12:50 The NBA as a whole, always takes the face of the lead superstar. Whether its Magic and Bird in the 80s, Jordan in the 90s, Kobe and Duncan in the 00s, it always goes in the direction of the lead superstar. When LeBron is doing flops as egregious as that, thats what the league is channeling.
“Pray for the downfall of sun”. Oh it is on. Hellno
lol
I'd be Embarrassed to win MVP of the All Star Game

Bring back ROCK N JOCK celebrity basketball. That was a whole lot more fun to watch. No team was out of it once they lowered that 25 point basket lol. I think it was MTV who hosted it.
The biggest reason they don't try, especially on defense is fear. They care too much about what people think. They don't want to be on the receiving end of a poster. I 100% agree. There are so many ideas but they won't try, which is why I say bring back Rock N Jock Basketball. It was entertaining, fun, and at times hilarious.
On those 4 on 5s, the ref should grow a spine & call a technical AFTER the other team scores. In other words show these prima Donna’s how sh@tty they are for not getting back plus costing them another point so the world can see how gross the behavior is. Give the game announcers time to explain how despicable that is to your team and how selfish the individual is. Of course that won’t even matter because the announcers are all for that crap and have no balls to call these fools out. Coaches won’t bench the scumbags who constantly do it either so nothing really matters. Sad to say I think it’s beyond repair at this point
What has never made sense to me is that people constantly call for players to be fined for flopping. I don't understand the logic here, best case you just price non-star players out of flopping and the star players keep doing it.
What actually needs to happen is that any player who flops gets ejected for AT LEAST one game so that the TEAM is impacted.
that would work if they weren't getting paid for those days off though. If they got suspended without pay for a few games that would do the trick though
@@TheRealMindCrime I guess I have a different perspective. Is it gross that players flop and load manage? Absolutely but do you REALLY think the players are the primary reason we're seeing it so much more frequently?
Personally I think in most cases management/coaches have made the short sighted calculation that it's better to erode the merit of the game with all this garbage and until the league actually punishes the source things will just get worse until we're basically watching soccer.
LeBron brought some cheap gifts to the fellas on INSIDE the other day and said, “Health is Wealth.” I forgot what the context was, but I remember that being too rhyme-y and too catchy a phrase to think up on-the-spot. It sounded suspiciously like person motto, and that’s when I knew… these guys don’t care especially Mr. Longevity.
He could’ve have been great if he played HARD for 8-10 years and hung it up… leaving it all out of the court. Instead - like many others - he saved it up to milk that cash cow the NBA has become.
agreed with all of this!
It's funny, I have said the same thing as you just said. If I was guaranteed 200+ million no matter if I played or not...yeah...it's possible my priorities might change! 😂
it's hard to admit but i'm human lol. If I got paid per game or something I'd definitely play harder but if that money is guarenteed then what's my motivation anymore?
@@TheRealMindCrime yeah and like you said, that's just being completely honest.
They say they are the most skilled, but the skills competition showed how bad they are with fundamentals. They only know how to shoot in 2 positions: layups and three-pointers. 😂
No post moves, no footwork, no reverse layup in either hands, no hooks, no fadeways, no midrange, no finish on contact, they rather flail their arms like dancing balloons, all they do is exploit the rules that refs don't whistle anymore: travels, carrys, sliding or lifting it with just toes touchung the floor, it called a pivot foot not pivot toes, the balls of your foot should be on the ground 😂
seriously lol
Jordan tore his meniscus playing for Washington he was off the floor in under 2 seconds trying to run back on defense
He made it like 10 steps then realized he couldn't but he TRIED getting back on defense
Just saying
Jordan always brought the issue up to the refs when one of his teammates was at the free throw line or during a long timeout 🙏🙏
Plus, I heard jordan say he wouldn't miss a game because he realized his fans pay good money to come see him play, so at least he can do is show up and put on a show and he loved the game so much it was hard to keep him away from the game to begin with
Yup! Kobe inherited that philosophy too. Its true too. People save up for these tickets so not showing up for the "show" game is ripping off the fans paying their salaries
If im not mistaken, in the MLB, players get paid for the games they play. If they get injured, they only get a fraction of what they would if they were playing.
If the NBA implemented that in the contracts, i bet players play more games.
But, it has become "entertainment" and you are watching athletes/actors; think WWE.
i wish they would do it. That would get these guys to show up to work again. We all just show up to work to get our paychecks lol. They should too
You know why the WNBA allstar was fun? because it was competitive.
you know why it was competitive? because both sides had something to prove.
the allstars wanted to prove they deserve a spot in team USA and the girls from team USA wanted to prove they deserve their spots.
exactly! you are exactly right!
After Kobe there no more this thing called basketball players all shooter from 3. No defend no tactics all acting high paid and play less. Well done Sliver you destroy the NBA.
Look at DPOY and regular MVP do they play a full season?
As always bro you have a great day ahead
it's sad that they now have to set a minimum amount of games played now to win awards. Too many players are cheating the system and getting paid big bucks while just chillin in street clothes
At this point the NBA is so bad and childish, they might have to start taking attendance and pay the players based on the percentage of games they do participate in. Refs should be monitored and if they miss calls or make bad calls; for each game, missing/making bad calls a certain number of times (ex. 5-10) should decrease their ref'ing credibility score & a certain number (ex. 10+) should be automatic firing and investigation for possible game tempering. Flops should be fined a minimum $100k-500k each to eliminate such behavior. Players talk with the refs but arguing with refs if without proper reason should just result in a technical. NBA was great in the 90s then it slowly went downhill. Recent years have just been horrendous esp with the examples shown in the vid & LBJ news
Just to add on the bandwagon. Can we talk about the clothing materials too. Why don’t coaches wear suits anymore? It used to look so professional, now they look like a bunch of lazy coaches, can you imagine Pat Riley in a warm up sweater? And the constantly changing jerseys year after year is awful.
12:30 Jordan actually was decently efficient with 3s. About Steph’s level. He didn’t shoot that many because that was game flowthen. You worried about runouts on misses. Then, someone said “well Drexler’s better than you he can hit the 3”. Cue Jordan bombing on the Blazers in the finals. These dudes are pros. They practice what their coach tells them too. If Jackson said “bomb 3s” ya think maybe Jordan Pippen Kerr Kukoc may have made a couple?
Oh for sure. He knocked 3s down whenever needed. Heck, Wilt never shot 3s in games but i saw a vid of him swishing sky hook 3s over and over while messing around
The punishment for flopping should be you get a finger on your off hand snapped by some old MMA guy on call. LeFlop will be Le-16 points a game after that. The same thing should happen every time he does the "Lebron pose" ie hands out/palms up to screaming at the refs while he leaves his teammates on 4 on 5's.
lol
😂 I said the same thing about the WNBA all-star game, that was way more entertaining than the nba
for sure! my friends think i'm crazy for saying it but they didn't watch it. That game was really competitive and entertaining
I just saw US-Serbia at the 95-91 Olympics. The Serbs could have won, if they didn't miss at the end of the game. The chance for the US team was called Steph Curry.
What could be observed:
- the best teams and the best NBA players can be kept under 100 points if there is a good defense. So we have an inflation of points in the NBA. Proven fact!
- The US team had good players, but they were not used to facing a good defense and not making steps, travels, etc. We rejoice at "fake" statistics when we should rejoice if they were better NBA players.
Today's NBA myth: scores, points, statistics - busted!
Oh 100% the inflated scoring is due to the soft defense rules now preventing anyone from actually playing D.
I simply dk HOW FANS TODAY can say with a straight face that today’s NBA is not only better BUT more profitable because of LeBron. With the audacity to say that all the Lakers games that were featured on TV was the highest rated in 30 years 😂😂😂
you should do the NBA IS THE MOST SUS LEAGUE video he did, cause to me that has to be the most funniest videos I've seen on yt 😂
He is funny because he's a pistons fan.
lol, I'm a suns fan and we've never won anything. He can still brag about 3 rings to me vs our 0 rings. uhgg
Everybody Hates NBA Players. Everybody!!! They're very Hateable.
FIBA 3X3 Dunk Contest was BETTER than the NBA All-star Weekend (no hate to JB cuz Im a Celtics fan)
I mean youtuber pro dunkers would destroy NBA players in a dunk contest, from any era.
at this point i'd rather watch a high school dunk contest over the nba one. Then we'll get the best of the best out there
Keep hearing it - what proof is there that today’s players are “more athletic”? We just eyeballing or what?? Nobody is friggin’ sweating!
If they are so athletic then they should be able to play some defense.
@JayDay32 Yeah but most people like me doesn't want to watch 2 and a half hours of a low scoring defensive battle game and besides I'm more of an offensive guy myself and love offense
lol i know right? I don't see anyone jumping higher than 80s jordan or prime Vince.....
@@Kings0424 then watch tennis, lol.
Kenneth Lofton Jr? Is that the kid of former MLB All Star Kenny Lofton?
good question
21:50 Wow 🤣🤣🤣
😆 🤣 😂
People in real life do this shi too believe it or not, god forbid you end up in a gym with young guys who think they're going somewhere already (or raised by them mama)
lol
The kids trashing the older players nees to understand that the 3 point line down exist in the NBA or NCAA until 1980-ish. So before that they were shooting 2s no matter where they were on the court. It wasn't until Larry Bird started winning 3 point contests in the mid-80s that big men started to become long ball shooters.
agreed! and even then with Bird he rarely shot 3s. He was just good at it. Everyone preferred the mid range back then
Stat Trivia: Matt McClung ranks higher on the 76ers list for "Charges taken" than Tobias Harris. I think it's like 3-to-0.
@21:45 OH SNAP! LOL
hahahahhaha I forgot about that
Today's NBA is Batman v Superman. Just like that film it's floppin'.
So true. A+ comment right here lol
I can’t even play pickup basketball because the game is played so terribly. No hustle on d, chucking up threes, and going one on one. The arguing, lack of integrity, and lack of any real competitiveness has me just working on my game by myself. I get a better workout that way.
yeah it's a whole different game now. I'm not really a fan of it either
@@TheRealMindCrime we were inspired by men playing ball. They played to be the best, which meant playing to win it all and earn their payday. You have these boys today who are athletically talented, lacking in skills, wanting to be paid on potential, and then say things like rings don’t matter. Winning isn’t everything is a loser’s mentality.
I know know why but it would crazy Commissioner Dynamo cross over djmeechymeech
oh man I would love that crossover!
The NBA has really lost its touched
This is what too much, too soon looks like.... Nobody cares about championships anymore, winning for this generation is becoming a millionaire and a social media star...... And they have the nerve to say that OGs had no skill 😂😂😂😂
When it comes to playing all star games if it is such a big honour for players to be named then why isn’t the game itself taken seriously??!! No matter how hard I try I just cannot fathom ,how much everyone, in and around the big 4 major leagues sports , talks about all star games and career ending injuries?? Like basketball has an 82 game season and it’s the nba it’s pretty solid but basically it’s non contact sport and players aren’t exactly dropping like flies from injury on a nightly basis. So why does everyone freak out about one game a year when the best of the best can test themselves against each other and give fans an amazing higher quality game to watch is given the name exhibition match and everyone has been brainwashed into thinking collectively this doesn’t mean nothing and playing for your actual team shouldn’t ever be affected and they have fixated upon the probability of injuries increasing exponentially if you take it serious. There is absolutely no truth in this whatsoever in fact from everything we know about sports it’s the exact opposite the harder you go the safer it is but somehow this has been confused over the years and continuing to play half hearted and randomly in these games will eventually get a casualty . And I guarantee you would feel like the biggest ahole on earth being ruled out of the rest of the season for an exhibition game but you call it an allstar game and make it mean something then you might not feel as much regret cause you where taking it seriously like the it was the finals
They need to stop garenteeing contracts and make them play for it and not the hype around the player but for what they actually have done
agreed!
LeBron still playing at 65 🤣😂🤣
😆 🤣 😂
If I were getting paid $51 mln a year can I just play for one year and retire? IJS. 😂😂😂
yup lol. I'd take that deal right now. Gimme my guarenteed money. I'll break my own leg and get courtside seats for a whole season while getting paid nearly a million dollars each game I watch
Youd think with all the money players get paid today they would at least feel an obligation to compete each chance they got. The players to me didn't look like the most skilled players of all time during the skills challenge.
no I don't think so. If they had to earn it then they would appreciate it but people like Bronny James coming in and getting 8 mil promised to him without doing a damn thing makes these guys not need to care about winning
@@TheRealMindCrime I remember watching MIchael Jordan's interview on the Oprah show where they brought Charles Barkley on wearing and showing off some of the latest Jordan brand clothing line. This was after MJ left the Wizards to retire for good and before MJ and Charles had a falling out as friends. It's a great interview to watch and Charles with MJ together was always funny to watch. But I remember MJ being asked by Oprah about what he thought of the new young talent coming into the league back then. Jordan said that the one thing he didn't like is that they were being given all this money on expectation and before they had even stepped on an NBA floor to prove their worth as players. He said it leads to players not appreciating the game and MJ's worry was that it would lower the true love of the game that future players might have. Now at the time I sort of understood what Jordan was saying but not completely. I was younger then but those words by MJ really stand out and hold true today even more so back then when he said it.
They’re lying about how much they get so they can overprice the fans at the stadiums and to oversell these players as the best, that’s why they have to do podcast and become analysts after their careers, it’s all a facade
NBA needs DLC not a patch :)
Lol
If lebron did a 1v1 he still flopping even if theres no ref😂
hahahahaha I never thought about it. He's probably flopping around in an empty gym
I just need to clarify one thing
the player at 15:37 pulled a "Neymar"
lol
@@TheRealMindCrime
You should watch some of Neymar’s flopping videos, he is on a whole different level
💥 ... I only watch the NBA highlights of games.
I can't bare to watch a full game.
This video was 😂😂😂😂😂
lol
4/2/2 collegiate bench players, free throw differentials, load management, traveling etc. The nba has fallen way off!
agreed
80% of healthy NBA players would win Lebron 1 on 1
agreed. I heard Michael Beasley beat him 1 on 1 during Lebrons prime in Miami lol
Ill trust ben wallace over Lbj to hit a free throw
Me too. Especially in the 4th quarter
