If Lebron went to NYK and got them to the finals that would have been one of the greatest achievements of his career. I’m not even saying he’d have to win it but to get them there would’ve been insane
@crizzleyo815 the difference is the knicks are the biggest market in the league so that's there's more pressure to win there than any other place other than your hometown franchise team plus its the Mecca of basketball
What I got from listening to Rich Paul is that Lebron James(not just him, but his brand)is huge! So you would have to choose a place that has a huge market to market a mega star of his stature. So it was either LA or New York. Plus I feel like LA’s front office gives Lebron all the power and ability he wants/needs to recruit and run the team of his liking.
All I took from that was the fam wanted to live in LA, he didn’t really have interest to play in NY, and tbh to achieve a chip in LA would’ve been easier than to do so in NY. Everyone ain’t cut to take on the task of trying to win a chip in NY, so not even surprised or mad at it. Just more water under the bridge
@@pedubb8059 dude, no top free agent ever comes to The Knicks. In their history, they've ever signed a guy that would be considered a "top free agent".
@@FreePlayMode that’s a fact. I’m always in comment sections across social screamin this too. But most casuals and others like to gloss over that inescapable truth. It also doesn’t help that we don’t deal with any outside media like that, which is in a way another deterrent for the Knicks in terms of players actually wanting to come here
Only reason it's harder to win a chip in NY is because the Knicks are a garbage organization, and it's because of the ownership. James Dolan is on par with Dan Snyder.
The Lebron to NYK was a ship that sailed when he made the original 'Decision" in 2010 -- and it would've been a package with him, Wade and Bosh -- and they were only thinking Chicago and Miami! Organization-wise the Dolan owned Knicks -- would that management made the right decisions to have the success that Miami and its "culture" put together for that group? I doubt it. And when it came time for Bron to leave Cleveland again -- the Lakers were the logical choice. In NY, Lebron at this stage of his career would be a Broadway attraction and a one man show expected to bring miracles.
Lebron wouldn’t want to live in NY I don’t think. The city is for when your young , on your own 20s to early 30s. I don’t think Bron and where he’s at in life would want to be there or have his family here. La is just more home it fits where’s he at . It has everything.
NYC has just as many family friendly top notch suburbs as LA. NYC metro area has the population of Florida and only 8 million in the city. There's more suburbs than city.
But even if he didn’t get it, the goal would’ve been still to get 1. The dude came to a lottery team so it was always a process to even get 1 chip. I think he learned from going to Miami and talk on day 1 about getting not 5 not 6 not 7 but 8 rings, and to just take it one at a time 😂😂
@@nicholasooi254 not really he knew they were going to package assets for a star, he showed up knowing tht just like his last two stops, he’s not a process guy Thts why he always encourages the team to get rid of young talent n picks for vets
@@Stopphating you know how many would have one if they could stack the deck with other 20 something year stars and because they stacked the deck get great aged role playing vets to take basically nothing to ring chase
Sounds like LeBron's family preferred L.A., had a home in place, and there was no hard decision to be made. I wouldn't move a family to New York. It's fun to visit & shop, but I'd never think about living there. I've got family there, and it's not an option for anything other than shopping & fun. I don't even go north of New Jersey to fish.
No it doesn't having a jersey in the rafters at Madison Square Garden holds more weight simply because NYC is the mecca of basketball and they haven't won in 50 years so it would be similar to Lebron winning his ring in Cleveland
Lebron made the best choice out of LA and the Knicks. James Dolan and his incompetence wouldn’t have had the Knicks as competitive and Lebron would have been wasting his remaining years there.
Lebron would've been a NY legend for eternity if he won a ring with the Knicks. Unfortunately as a Lakers, he'll always be compared to the other Laker greats
Naw. There are Lakers fans everywhere. That's gonna follow Bron for the rest of his life. Knicks aren't that important. Only NY people like Stephen A Smith thinks anyone gives a fck about the Knicks. 😂
I’ve been a lakers fan my whole life lebron isn’t making it to our top 5 sorry it’s BEAN magic Kareem Shaq jerry Elgin wilt worthy pau and then probably lebron as far as lakers hierarchy
He kept it real but should've went on and said LA all you need is one title not 15 because there's not enough time to do that. But could've added he succeeded with the one. Fans and haters know he for one but Haters try to plead a case that no real Basketball fan would agree with and thats the Bubble title don't count. It actually was harder because every time was Neutral and there was no home game giving any team an additional advantage.
The bubble ring has a HUGE asterisk. No away games and a 4 month in season break where many players didn't have access to basketball courts because of gym closures. Lebron's bubble ring is made of plastic.
@@GreenEnvy. No one who is a Hoop Lover has given it an Asterisk. Just because a hand full of LeBron James Haters wish Every Stat of LeBron James to have a Asterisk doesn't mean it's true. And it has the opposite because there was no Home games just Neutral games. So some players who barely play well or only play well when at home and getting cheers didn't get to have that extra boost. It came down to real hooping. Something REAL Hoopers know about. But nice try Hater lol 🤣
He should’ve went to New York he never be Kobe magic or kareeem I’m Bron fan to but it would’ve made he’s legacy better winning in New York Stephen a probably have as the goat 🤣
Not a Rich hate comment, because I know this guy adds extreme value to his clients that I just feel was not addressed at all in this interview. I mean, people are simply not signing with him just because he’s Lebrons guy…there’s more to it. Just wish this interview got anywhere past surface level.
LeBron should have went to the Knick’s the first time he left Cleveland. Winning 4 chimps with knicks would have gone a long away in his goat convo. He would’ve had a huge market backing him as the goat.
1 chip in L.A. is cool if you’re anyone else but if you’re really the GOAT, u have to deliver multiple chips as a Laker to be mentioned on the same breath as Kobe, Magic and Kareem
He joined LA at 34 and within 2 years of joining broke their decade long championship drought in the same year that Kobe passed away tragically. Bro. He’s solidified as a Laker. They will never ever forget that he did that. For the city and for Kobe
@@anthonydeshields9613 In the bubble. I don’t care what anyone says, that chip will always have an asterisk. And the longer he plays there without winning another, the more damage it does to his legacy as a Laker.
If LeBron wins another chip & becomes finals MVP, he’s a better Laker than Kobe. That means he’ll have the same amount of FMVP as Kobe in lesser time & at an older age lol. & the Bubble chip counts as much as you like to hate on it. NBA players said it was the hardest playoffs they’ve been in so who are you to say that chip don’t count. The rafters are already hanging in Krypto arena
Huh? Rich Paul said that not lebron. Reaves just said a couple days ago “At the end of the day all LeBron does is want to win” Had AD and Bron not gotten hurt in 2021, they most likely would’ve repeated. Lakers were 21-6 before they started going down. But key injuries like that are more of a thing that happen to LeBron and not Mike or Kobe. Except Kobe in 2013 but he wasn’t winning a ring
It is amazing how this guy Rich is so underwhelming in his delivery and expressions. If u knew nothing of him... he could be night stand paper selling corner dude.
Listen Lebron best chance to go to New York was back in 2010 i say this all da time, i personally think during that 2010 free agency Lebron should've formed his own big 3 with the Knicks and played with Joe Johnson & A'mare Stoudemire surrounded by good role players who can shoot the ball, to me that would've did more for his legacy than joining D-Wade & Bosh in Miami, by 2018 the ship been sailed about coming to the Knicks, if Lebron wanted to make a statement going on LA well then he should've gone to the clippers instead of the lakers, Kobe will always be king when it comes to the lakers, winning a chip there doesn't move the needle for Lebron's legacy in my opinion but winning one with the clippers does since they don't have any championships and there's no one in team history u can compare to with Lebron being there!
No one wants to touch the Knicks. Had LeBron came here and brought the Knicks to the Finals (and possibly won it) that would've been a huge accomplishment that would've eased the conversation of him being over Jordan in the GOAT list. Lakers have had many championships and great players already. Knicks haven't.
Lebron can do whatever the F he wants but bringing the first title in 50 years to NYC would’ve meant more to his legacy than another ring for the Lakers. IMO
New York would of been a mess no offense but nobody wanted to play with LeBron then on top of that it wasn't a whole lot of players not from the East Coast trying to play there Lakers made since
"All you need is 1" - Man f these dudes, LA sold their entire future for 1, the most storied franchise in the league reduced to being happy with 1. Worst era of the Lakers since the 70's.
Lebron should've went to Sacramento fr. The marketing is there...King(s) James jerseys would've been flying off the shelves. Gotta nice young core in Deaaron and Buddy at the time, sabonis I believe was there too. Could've been pretty special
@@mgee1723 The biggest stage is the finals and whoever makes it there looks good regardless. The Lakers have been a joke since he got there. You think they had a better roster than Sac?
Bron should have requested a Trade to the Nets when Kai and KD were there, that Trio would have been must watch TV, but Bron has a LA fetish so it is what it is
The league wouldn't allow it because the small market team coaches and owners would've been crying the way Carlisle did against the Knicks saying it's unfair and the way Nate McMillan did against the Knicks when he told his Hawks players the NBA wants the Knicks to win. In 50 + phuken yrs.. the league hasn't needed or wanted the Knicks to win. 😂😂
If he feels like 1 chip in L.A is enough why is LeBron still playing rich? This is one of those things that make me not like LeBron. Him and his team always try to keep their thumb prints on the narrative. Almost like Jay z. It's like the narrative is their cryptonite if they don't have control of it. Narcissistic behavior.
LeBron didn't go to New York because there were no superstar on the team and him being the sole superstar is something he isn't equipped to handle. Look at his history. When they win he gets all the credit but when they don't win the fault is always on someone else. Let's be for real, if him and Kevin Durant don't join up with another top ten or 15 player then they wouldn't have any rings.
Speaking water under the bridge 🫤 "When they win he gets all of the credit, when they don't win it's somebody else's fault." Don't know if that's true because the next day the media microscope is on LeBron, even then when they lose who are you gonna blame first, the guy nearly averaging a triple double? 😂 "If him and KD don't join up with another top 10 or 15 player then they wouldn't have any rings." My good brother that's what's called a competent team, of course you need one to be successful. Look at the Champions the past 15-30 years, 99% of them have had 2 top 10-15 players, the only ones that come to mind that don't are the Mavs, Bucks and Pistons imo. That's like saying the only time LeBron can get a car to run is if he has gas and tires.
L.A is where he's had the least success of his career.. lol wow did that back fire. Knicks are in better shape than L.A he's going to opt out ; where is he's going to go ? Knicks may be the best team for him but they may not want him now.
He went to the West because the East was getting tougher (Bos, Phi, Mia etc..) Came out with a bubble chip and now barely make it into the playoffs and exiting the 1st round.

Why would someone choose a more difficult path if they had a choice?
He took the easiest route for success for his career(s) and his family. That’s exactly what every man should be doing for his family.
Narrative Kings
Pretty sad james still hasnt been on Shannon's podcast. What a coward.
If he feels like 1 chip in L.A is enough why is LeBron still playing rich? This is one of those things that make me not like LeBron. Him and his team always try to keep their thumb prints on the narrative. Almost like Jay z. It's like the narrative is their cryptonite if they don't have control of it. Narcissistic behavior.
simple reason, NYC sucks, the franchise is awful and has been irrelevant for decades.
LA is just NYC with beaches and warm weather.
@@AggravatedMan365 exactly
Thank god lebron didn’t pick ny. The last thing we need is another player bout to retire on a max contract sitting in the bench
Rich got little girl fingers lol
Lebron is the Goat
I get it he took what was easier. No problem good for you Bron
Talk about a disposable character
So just get one championship with LA and leave
So he was scared confirmed . He couldn’t handle the bright lights
LA bright lights shine more than New York lol
LeBron James doesn't have enough moxy /balls to play in Need York. You think Laker fans are tough. New York fans are the toughest..
LeBron didn't go to New York because there were no superstar on the team and him being the sole superstar is something he isn't equipped to handle. Look at his history. When they win he gets all the credit but when they don't win the fault is always on someone else. Let's be for real, if him and Kevin Durant don't join up with another top ten or 15 player then they wouldn't have any rings.
Lebrons first season with the lakers were without AD. The following year was the big New Orleans trade for AD.
It’s a team sport and you need a great team to win championships. Blaming LBJ because he chose to play with D wade and Bosh and Ky and Love.
Jordan, Kobe, Kareem, Magic, Wilt. Nun of those players won by themselves stfu dummy
Speaking water under the bridge 🫤
"When they win he gets all of the credit, when they don't win it's somebody else's fault." Don't know if that's true because the next day the media microscope is on LeBron, even then when they lose who are you gonna blame first, the guy nearly averaging a triple double? 😂
"If him and KD don't join up with another top 10 or 15 player then they wouldn't have any rings." My good brother that's what's called a competent team, of course you need one to be successful. Look at the Champions the past 15-30 years, 99% of them have had 2 top 10-15 players, the only ones that come to mind that don't are the Mavs, Bucks and Pistons imo. That's like saying the only time LeBron can get a car to run is if he has gas and tires.
easy way.... 😂
they always say u went to 8 straight finals bron haha, why went??? cant win???? haha he lost most of them haha what a joke.
I don't know why he decided to start doing interviews but they are all mostly boring and uninformative.
L.A is where he's had the least success of his career.. lol wow did that back fire. Knicks are in better shape than L.A he's going to opt out ; where is he's going to go ? Knicks may be the best team for him but they may not want him now.
He went to the West because the East was getting tougher (Bos, Phi, Mia etc..) Came out with a bubble chip and now barely make it into the playoffs and exiting the 1st round.
Lebron sexuals fight hard for Lebron Jordan fans don’t cuz we kno Jordan the goat
Two words . James dolan lmao
We need Jalen Rose in the club.
He should take his talents to new York L.A is Kobe town an Will never accept Him here at all.
Y’all accepting him now
@@davidpalfrey5786 no we don't that's all his fans not Lakers fans,true Lakers fans don't want him or accept him.
All you need is 1 ? Of course he will say that with the bubble ring 🤣🤣🤣
