Like Scottie Pippen telling Malone that the mailman doesn’t deliver on Sundays just before Malone proceeded to choke at the free throw line in the Finals against Chicago.
This is still one of my fav videos of all time. Something about the topic, the music, the nostalgia, the story - everything about this video is perfect. Captures the essence, perfection and personalization of a professional players free throw - and the importance of respecting that ritual.
And tell me how touching him before his second free throw, made him him miss his first free throw and make him shoot terrible in the whole OT period b4 the free throws even happened
Arenas actually recounted this story and said that LeBron really told him “if you miss this you know who is going to win the game right?”. Arenas had been clowning Damon Jones and LeBron knew if he missed Damon would have the chance to win the game. A chance he ultimately took advantage of. So Arenas basically got paid back for making fun of Damon Jones so much 😂
eithier way its great trash talk from Lebron, he knew what he was doing, and arenas looks sick, he mightve pulled out the glock on Lebron if it was at the park
It looks like Gil was having flashbacks or some shit before LeBron even touched him. Dude looked like he was about to cry. I know Arenas used to deal with some mental health struggles like depression, and it looks like he's having an episode here. He doesn't just look unconfident, he looks like he wants to get the hell out of that stadium.
Gilbert Arenas was a beast and then this happened. Then he got caught with a pistol and it was all over. Crazy. Just like Nick Anderson and the free throws he missed. It fucked him all up.
ok guys, I did it, I watched every jxmyhighroller video. Jimmy, thank you for your content, you are really the best basketball content creator. Keep up the amazing work my guy
This was the 2nd most popular incident involving trash talking & clutch free throws the most popular being when Scottie Pippen told Karl Malone the Mailman don't deliver on Sundays lmao that is classic!
@@rizengaming9235 If it was true everyone would be doing it. He missed his first free throw ffs, no explanation. He misses many jump shots the same game like he said. No explanation. He misses second free throw and now he blames the touch being the reason that the Wizards are bad for 7 years. Yeah guess he is right.
I take it you never heard Gilbert Arenas speak on this moment. buddy said he had to see a black ops specialist to get his focus back that off season and was in the gym shooting thousands of free throws after.
How you know thats what he said? Gilbert looked like a dude that accepted what bron said, but he didn't flinch. just bricked it. PROB because w/e bron said made him over confident. ( GIlbert is not the type of dude to back down from a challenge ) There was a year where he himself proclaimed that he would drop 60 on anyone involved in letting him off the USA team. About the ' choke ' The wizards were up by 1 before the free throws. not as much pressure in shooting free throws when your up then when your down. he shooulda made it regardless - he is a professional. All star. assassin. killer. type of player. he almost never misses, like u said, he is one of the most clutch players the game had at the time. If he did choke then it wasn't because of what bron said. he already had missed 1FT before. And as you said,and clearly pointed out, he was already having a bad OT, missing 3 shots, 1 three, and already had gone to the line and went 1 for 2. Just shot it bad. My assessment of it.
Depending on whether the players have a relationship whereby they know each other is motivated by adversity, this move was either classy or classless by Mr. James.
He was making an inside joke he, Arenas, and Jones were friends. They would play cards and bet against each other. Jones owed money to Arenas and every time Jones would be on the fllor Arenas would defend him and the the landlord's here. Meaning he needed to pay up so going over and saying you're going home was in reference to that as well. Thats also why Jones was specifically the guy to shoot the shot, not James. Jones hadn't made a 3 pt shot in 2 games but they subbed him in and made the shot. This was all said in an interview by Arenas.
"Somehow this is legal". Of course it is, mental fortitude is an essential part of sports. You got to ask yourself, would Kobe miss that free throw (given the same circumstances)?
Life Is A Gift Dude, no you won’t man. People always say if. if. if. Think about it, Arenas is a professional basketball player, that’s his whole life. And even he missed the free throw.
@Nakia Irvin Yeah you're literally the definition of a racist. A pretty bad one too. LeBron haters are of all colors. Guess what, I'm white and I'm a huge fan of his, in fact he's my favorite player.
Anyone remember in Game 7 of the 2002 WCF when Mike Bibby was at the line for his free throw with only a couple of seconds left and the referee already gave Bibby the ball and he started his dribble routine when Rick Fox decided he wanted to walk in front of him to the other side of the court? Bibby got pissed and threw the ball back to the referee and Doug Christie got up in Fox's face, then Bibby stepped right back up and sunk the free throw. That's the only time I ever saw something like that happen
Ima die hard wizards fan for the past 17 years..and man I remember this game like it was yesterday I seriously wanted to cry I still can't believe he missed those free throws
You shouldn’t be shaken up because of 7 words. The biggest part of being a superstar is to be able to handle pressure at any given moment. Look at Lebron in this year’s conf. finals, he knew damn well that the Celtics were undefeated at home, yet he put up a clutch performance and won game 7 going to the finals for the 8th straight year. If Gilbert Arenas was really a superstar, he shouldn’t have been shaken up that easily. Hell no they shouldn’t put up a new rule because handling pressure comes with the job of being an NBA player.
Jymy - Why you should not touch a player when he is taking FT Me - Finally Jymy makes a bad video End of video - Full of info, once again Jymy taught me something new
Oscar Horsey more clutch than Jordan? you’re an idiot lol keep lying to yourself millenial. So clutch he got swept and lied about his hand being broken. He’s not even better than Kobe.
Remind me to never ask any of you for help looking for anything that's missing, because of all the comments I painfully scrolled through, only one person noticed that these free throws were shot during the first quarter of the game. Also, even though he missed the first one, the score increased by 1 point, from 21-20 to 22-20. Great detective work, asshats. Unreal.
If LeBron won MVP that year, he would've won it at a younger age than Derrick Rose would have later on Which would've made LeBron the youngest NBA MVP.
james: "if you miss this freethrow, you're going home..."
arenas: "ha! jokes on you! we're already in DC."

i can see how that could make you miss your next shot, but how is it going to ruin a franchise for 7 years? lol

Ppl Get traded.....plays chanGe....all kinda shit
NoMoreQQ that’s how great Lebron is 😂 he doesn’t need to play them. He speaks and then it turns into a 7 year drought! Lol

@Nick HND yes but that trade wasnt because he missed that free throw.
LBJ should have told JR "If you run out to the three point line, we're going home" too late now #busspasstoCleveland

You shouldn’t be shaken up because of 7 words. The biggest part of being a superstar is to be able to handle pressure at any given moment.
