I feel sorry for slick Rick having to discuss basketball with them
Facts there all bronsexuals💯😭
Me too.
The lady makes zero sense Talking about she does not know the expectation and turn around defending Bron and blaming teammates.
Me too ahaha man he is the only one knowing actually what he is saying.. incredible 😩
💯💯
Joy said the Lakers coaching position is a good job. Then listed reasons why it's not a good job 🤣
She does that on every show
She's only there because of her brother who was kinda overrated tbh 😮😮
She use to be good but now she just turning into every other media people. Talking out the a** like usual

Women Logic
Since when did Joy joined Klutch?
Nah' for real though
She a light skin Klutch employee, fr fr
👍🏾💪🏾
Just tells us he is not coachable, he is LeCoach
I just wish that Lebron would have played with Coach Pop.
@@trombonejosh1Bron fan logic go crazy🤣
Exactly
You sound stupid
Every coach he’s had was a rookie coach 😂 you do realize that right
sounds like she on the clutch payroll also
It’s sound like if you don’t hear someone go at Lebron they’re on the klutch sports
she is
facts!!!!
@@HectorConCarne23 hm no if u agree with 100 percent in everything he does or in her case say he don't have the roster which is crazy because last year and this year games were close plus they had the refs he just couldn't close and a 22 yr old in Minnesota is showing u how to and she open her mouth to say it's the roster gtfoh lmao
Yep
Byron Scott has 3 championships shady
As a coach? Why didn't he win with Kobe?
Not because of him.
@@chubbybigtoe5777 if that’s the logic we’re going with then shady cant talk championships in football either 🤣 he had a David West role!
Shady is an all Decade. He was a way better Baller than The other dude😅@@AZBran
@@HockeyDudeJames2not when it comes to what they did on their championship teams. Scott was a key contributer while Shady rode the bench.
But Labron would never call himself out for playing horrible defense 🤷🏿♂️
Is he supposed to yell at himself in the mirror? I’m sure he knows. Where is all this heat towards MJ failing with the wizards?
Even not playing lockdown Def. What he brings covers up for that. Let's talk about that bench or rui and dlo disappearing
@@MrMex44mj played defense with the wizards and the whole world new they weren’t winning in Washington
Lol
@@Dipset415I know u did NOT just say MJ was playing defense with the Wizards?!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lebron at 38-39 ranked 327 of 572 players in defensive rating (bottom 43% of the league, just slightly below average) 👌👑
Jordan at age 38-39 was ranked 359 of 440 players in defensive rating. (bottom 19% of the league, literally one of the worst defenders in the NBA) 💩😂
You can't ask much more from LeBron James? How about to PLAY DEFENSE?
Right! Box out! REBOUND.
Yeah at 40 because Jordan was so great at 40 lol people so fuckn stupid 27 8 in the playoffs what was Jordan doing at 40 again?

Obviously, you were not watching
These guys and girls need to go back to hear what they said in late July last year. All them thought the Lakers were favorites to win a championship. 😅😅
I guess getting fired in 2yrs is not devaluing. Joy is dumb. This whole discussion is a waste of time. People really want to hear thselves
Preach! Are they blind or bought BY KLUTCH! I'll say bought by LeMedia!!
Lol okay loser.... Keep watching the videos... Addict.
it pays well
I hate this narrative that the Lakers didn’t have a good enough roster to compete when after the summer everyone was saying that the Lakers had the best off season. I believe they were actually given a ranking of an A by most analysts.
thats what im saying
James Jones is only one making sense. Lebron play decent by his turnovers hurt and his inability to close games. His lack of defense as well. If Lakers would’ve of won LeBron would have unquestionably be the GOAT but since he lose media make up excuses for him. LeBron needs to retire stop the league can turn the page of these era and move on to new star players. James has become bad for business.
FACTS…
He's the same 39 year old when he wins, and when he loses. So lebron shouldn't praised at age 39 when he wins and excuses for why he lost when he looses. If he can't maintain it his age shouldn't be a factor then.
Facts!!!!
If Floyd beats some at 50 that’s impressive if a fighter in his prime beats Floyd when he’s 50 no one is calling him the goat. You don’t get no flex for beating the elderly
Nope that's not how that works you don't get passed when you lose because of your age. Because all they do is brag about how freaking great he is and how he the goat and then when he loses they use age as a freaking excuse. Naw if he can't push through and win then he is not close to being the greatest of all time. And you need to retire if all you do is complain and blame everyone else for your shortcomings It is always everyone else's fault why the lose never brons
If it’s everyone else’s fault then why are you crying about LeBron? That’s the blame he gets. And also he’s 39 competing well against younger guys. It doesn’t matter if he lost, he’s still an effective player at 39, and he’s still playing in a young man’s league.
When Vince Carter dunked in his later years, people got hyped. People were praising Grant Hill for being an effective player in his older age. That’s what you do when an older player is playing well. You praise them for subverting expectations.
@jeremybellow9211 no excuses lakers lost they lost whats the big deal
Joy doesn't like to assign blame to Lebron
If lebron the problems why can’t spo vogel or ty lue win without him
@@abzda1700spo has been to 2 finals…spo won with Lebron Wade Bosh and Ray Allen….Ty Lue won with Lebron and Kyrie…without Kyrie, Ty LUE did not win EVEN with Lebron
Joy is very pro player to a fault. It’s very annoying and not objective. But when it comes to the front office and coaches, she has so much to say
@@abzda1700 excuses are for losers. Lebron is in the habit of making excuses and blaming others. That's why he's always looking for answers in new coaches/players instead of pointing the finger at himself.
@@abzda1700LeBron burner account like KD has a burner account
How are you good enough to win a Mid-season Tournament but not good enough to win in the first round! Stop changing the narrative to fit the excuses! Make it make sense!
THEY were mismatched with Denver-how can the defending champs play the last seed ??? doesnt even make sense
I guess Joy been invited to the Klutch Sports meetings and taco Tuesday nights. Same media sets expectations to hype up Lebron but when he fails they have every excuse in the book for him. Can we ask Lebron to play defense Joy?
And play 82 games..
Right she’s ridiculous she got the email for sure
Joy said that LeBron did everything he could for the team. Really? He played defense? He supported his coach and his teammates? When will this BS over LeBron end? Give me a break! I'm so tired of LeMedia not holding LeBron accountable.
She keeps saying it she’s a dam clutch plant
He did all that and much more. Ya obviously don’t watch

@@stasisdan4451😂😂😂😂😂
He's basically already been a player-coach for a long time
I can’t believe that it’s actually happening. Did you hear what the #1 LeBron-Worshipper in the world, Kendrick Perkins, said on ESPN: First Take on May 6, 2024? The basketball world is starting to remove LeBron James from the GOAT debate. Many us removed LeBron James from the GOAT CONVERSATION several years ago, and a lot of us never had LeBron James in the GOAT DEBATE to begin with. But the 2-5% of the basketball world (players, personnel, media, fans) who thought that LeBron James was “the goat” or could be “the goat”….this 2-5%, who is primarily led by Kendrick Perkins and others, this 2-5% are now removing LeBron James from The GOAT debate. Rest in Peace to the idea of LeBron James ever being in the GOAT debate ever again!!
✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ditto!!!
After 2011 the GOAT debate was officially over for me
@@user-lt1fx2he5s you don't get to make that call homeboy.
Perk is 🧢
Slick and James kept it 💯
Byron Scott hits the bulleye… do coach Lebron and see what you can do… or get fired also…
Y’all Keep forgetting Vanderbilt was out he is and was the Energy guy and the better defender just like Jaden McDaniels
All these people are in the clutch payroll
All these dam planted clutch agents is ridiculous
why? cause he don't represent you
But who would he blame when he chokes again ? Teammates? Fans? Refs? Altitude? Phantom injury?
LeBron James has never blamed a coach for doing something wrong. You can’t find a single clip of him publicly shaming someone in that position, or placing the blame on others. Ya’ll just see someone get fired and instantly say “LeBron is the reason” because you despise this man. Disgusting.
Totally agree 💯
What she talking about.. they have a top team like the nuggets, Timberwolf and the rest ..
Exactly 💯💯
Had to fast forward through joy again after her first four words.
Do other people do that?
She pretty tho. Lol!
Yes and amen brother. Lately she's been horrible. Any LeBron topic I can't take her serious on.
Her and lesean need to be off tv lol
Come on yall ain't no coach coming in there making no decisions
There’s 8 teams left in the playoffs still trying to compete for a championship but the media is still talking about LeBron who’s out the playoffs 🙄 Sports media will always control the narrative 💯👌🏾
no, it's simply because Lebron is the GOAT
You’re clicking on a video about him
@@user-jm5kf9wn1z maybe in the generations to come but not this one 🥴
@@life0093 actually I was watching another video from speak and this one auto played 🤨
No he can’t because players make to much money in this era and will not listen to a contemporary on the bench! Joy ,LeBron and AD aren’t closing! Lebron is trying to close all of the games and he’s failing! Quit talking about AD. Lebron wasn’t getting him the ball in the 4th quarters!
What are the minutes being played between AD and Katt
Mark Jackson is the only Coach available that can get the Lakers back to Championship Basketball.
Nobody has any proof that LeBron got coaches fired or even advocated for it. Ya’ll are literally just placing that on his jacket with zero evidence, and that’s foul.
Talking about a guy that got swept two years in a row and a be 40 is crazy. What about the teams actually in the playoffs.
Absolutely NO! If you don’t play defense how are you going to coach defense?
Exactly
Csn the media hold themselves accountable for the terrible job and takes they have? Good grief
This lady don’t know what she saying, lakers is good enough to win any top team ,, labron lack of defending and more turn over and handle the ball to much at his age be to get the team mate the shine .. to much stacking the deck
That because Lebron has too because they don’t have a pure point guard, or a defender other than AD and vandeebelt
@@michaelhill3262stop crying like a B!
Labron need to change his position to A power forward instead running up with the ball all the time .. that why the can’t finish to old , no gas .. D R or Au Reese can play point guard. They handle the ball better than him and running up the floor faster .. Anthony and labron they can cover in the pain , 2 big guys , stop the bigger guys around the basket .. A D played his self out .. that’s why he can’t show up in the 4th (fatigued ), when know one else there to help him with some of the rebounds on both ends
@@deronbute23 I agree 1000 percent, if I’m the lakers I would get Dennis again and cp3 to ruin the offense a bit have play the same role as rondo and get another big for rebounding and defense and a 3 and d shooter like Danny green
Hamm was never the guy they wanted. Let's be real.
LBJ has such great basketball IQ, please explain to me why he could not figure out that AD only had one shot in the 4th quarter and why didn’t he recognize that Aron Gordon was guarding AD? He is cerebral he has the highest BB IQ than anyone. Now they are making excuses about his age
The IQ argument so stupid it is beyond funny. If he is so intelligent when it comes to BB why was he manhandled by the Spurs, Mavs, Nuggets this year?
💯
factz that is what they always do when they get cornered by truth. They say he 40 or he is a great father. 😂😂
Team game, Denver has better coaching staff and better defenders.
@@kennethiwuji6700 💯
I have no idea what they were talking about 😂
Gotta love James Jones and LeSean McCoy for speaking facts.
That’s not going to happen. There would be nobody else to blame for things going wrong
People who watched every single laker game know he’s not a good coach. The rotations, the intangibles, incompetence with the playbook, Lebron yelling to challenge the call and still didn’t call it , saving two timeouts to end the game, putting his pocket the whole game
Lakers should put together a coaching team with no head coach and since NBA doesn't allow player coach, Lebron should become a player advisor instead. I don't think he care for the coach salary, he is already a billionaire. BTW, he can also start Bronny in games
It's pretty obvious that Byron Scott is still Salty about Lebron leaving Cleveland in 2010 when Byron took over as Head Coach in Cleveland . Byron probably thought he was going to get LeBron James in the Cavs 2010 / 2011 Season , or Byron probably wouldn't have taken the Cleveland Job . Lebron left for Miami as a Result of that Cavs Head Coaching Hiring . Byron was too Old School Basketball for Lebron , Even tho Lebron chose Byron's Old School 1980s Lakers Head Coach Pat Riley in Miami to play for . Byron struggled from 2009 - 2013 trying to win with a Reckless Kyrie Irving and what Scarecrow / Pumpkin Cavs Players Byron had Left to work with .
LeGOAT has been an NBA Player / Coach / GM / Player / Recruiter / Player Developer for 21 Seasons . Of course he could be a Successful Official Player / Coach for the Lakers or any NBA Team .
Byron is absolutely right
It stands out rick having to talk basketball with people who shouldn't. Its like tim leglar on first take there to good
Darvin hamm is the equivocation of a employee whose NEVER been a supervisor of ANYTHING, being given the job as lead supervisor of Google
After seeing that video of him asking for the Playboard, i dont know who would wanna coach the Lakers.
James Jones always keeps it a 💯 with the mic drop at the end!
When the heck did Lebron say he wanted a coach fired. Just because he didn't go in there pounding the table saying keep him doesn't mean he wanted him fired. They find any reason to talk about Lebron.
Shady answer sounds good but B Scott and Skip literally said what he said immediately after lmfao especially about Tye Lue
Ask LeBron to play consistent defense. Lol
Exactly lmao ...dudes a scrub
Not if he has any ounce of sense about him - if he takes on a player coaching role then there is absolutely no hiding place from him being held accountable when the Lakers fail.
They don’t follow the Lakers all season and aren’t in tune with what was going on all season with Ham
She keep asking the same question in different ways
I don't understand how everyone discounts the Bubble Championship. During the playoffs all the players and coaches were saying how it was the hardest playoffs they ever had due to the psychological affect being isolated on that complex from the family, friends and society.
Also, the Lakers had the #1 seed and so their home court advantage was totally null and void
I feel like if you truly watched the Lakers games this year, you could clearly see Ham wasn’t it and lost the team in various ways. Why are we all of a sudden acting oblivious to
Bro saying lebron not a leader is crazy😅
😂😂😂😂 come on man!! Is this a serious conversation 😂😂😂😂 no way he doesn’t have the leadership whatsoever!!!
Obviously, again they misunderstood what Byron Scott was saying.. He needs Lebron to take acountability whenever Lakers are losing, not saying It's just Basketball..C'mon man. Its not just stats can win championship but the players being coachable and execute the game plan.
Speak is a good sports talk show ...
JJ was spot on. U don't like how things r being done, u coach this team.
Do we really know that LeBron got Ham fired?
Nope
Prove it, son@@QuanBerry
The media says Lebron is the GOAT…Lebron says himself his basketball IQ is unmatched. Why not let him be the player/coach?
Byron Scott one of my favorite basketball personalities and players. Keeps it real.
I hope he does become a player/coach for the Lakers so when they lose he would be forced to have to blame himself!!!
Then its his staff who has no talent…more excuses coming in.
What people are not talking about regarding Darvin Ham is that he lost the lockerroom.
When your best players stop listening to your voice... ( IMO after the 1ST round sweep last season ) the stars tuned him out.
Lakers cleared house because the team needs a " new voice" , Lakers should have kept Phil Handy ( letting him go is a BIG mistake IMO ).
Everyone forgets byron coached kobe at the end lol...he is apart of la firing people
I don’t think shady understands the power of LeBron lol
Jones nailed it. It's always a blame game.
Lebron should be the lakers coach so he can fire himself when they lose
Scott is correct
Joy killed them all in this segment
"this roster is not good enough to...." isnt lebron like 40% of the roster and salary cap?
If this actually happens that rdcworld1 video gonna be crazy
Why would you make that statement ? Theres no proof that LBJ got coaches fired
Let LeBron James coach the Lakers next season
It is ridiculous how all of this coaching thing are being dumped on Lebron. Let's look at all the Lakers coaches since Lebron came to the Lakers.
Luke Walton: The entire world wanted to fire and replace Luke Walton. A lot of so-called NBA analysts, media, and commentators are even going out talking extremely negatively about him. Lavar Ball was the loudest one asking for Luke Walton to get fired. Lanzo Ball was playing for the Lakers at that time. How was that being put on Lebron?
Frank Vogel: After the Lakers traded for AD, Luke Walton was fired, Frank Vogel was hired, and the Lakers team was rebuilt. Then they won a championship. The reason Frank Vogel got fired wasn't because of Lebron!!! It was Russel Westbrook that got him fired. That dude was vocal talking bad about Frank Vogel. Russel Westbrook was dragging them down... He still believes that he was still a superstar. He was so bad they couldn't get rid of him. Frank Vogel has no choice but to keep playing him. Because the upper management wants Vogel to play Westbrook to allow him to get his stocks up. So they can somehow trade him. It was Westbrook that got Frank Vogel fired. Westbrook was publicly talking bad about Frank Vogel. How was that on Lebron?
Darvin Ham: A lot of NBA analysts, media, and talk shows have been questioning Darvin Ham's questionable lineups and player rotations. Now y'all pretending that Darvin Ham was a premier coach. Did he go to the conference finals? Yes, they did. But that was with a motivated group with a lot to prove. You have a bunch of players basically playing for a contract. Did they go to the playoff coming out of the play-in game?. Yes, they did. However, whose fault was that? It was his questionable lineup and rotations that got the Lakers dropping to the play-in. Darvin Ham lost the team. It was Darvin Ham that got him fired...it wasn't Lebron.
Honestly, who give praise to LBJ when he wins. All the media do is criticize LBJ when he win or loose. So what are they saying??? I have never seen anyone been so hated even before stepping in an NBA court than LBJ
Joy couldn’t stand that the truth was being told about lebron
You can tell, a lot of journalist just don’t know basketball. If they think Ham had strong rotations, strategy, adjustments etc they weren’t paying attention.
It’s not that they think that cause as laker fans we know Darv did head scratching things often. But it’s what we all saw with our eyes was moments where the players didn’t execute. Rather Denver be bullshitten or not we was in position to win most of those games.
😂 The Lakers passed on Ty Lue already. Let that man be😂 Last Summer all the media said they love this roster. PULL THE TAPES 😂
Lebron James is one heck of player but he has to own his part in on losing and overstepping his bounds thinking he knows everything about basketball. 🤔
I’ll be the coach. Give me the money
Taking the Lakers job "after" LeBron is a good job.
AD was not like that for the better part of his career. In New Orleans he didn't have this problem
Blaming AD is crazy 🤦🏾♂️
LeQueen should hire JJ Redick, Nick Wright, LeShannon Sharpe and Gilbert Arenas…new puppets 🎉🎉🎉
Shady , "this the reason he was fired as a head coach "😂😂cold blooded
It's BS that Denver took the gas off the pedal for LA as Rick says. Nobody does that in playoffs. I mentioned before that it took everything for Denver to beat a 40yr old, but everyone's so high on them.
I think James Jones read into Byrons comments correctly.
I wish people would quit asking what more can lebron do. If hes going to be out there then play defense. If he cant do that, then maybe its time to bounce.
Lebrons bucket list, first father and son playing on the same team, second father coach and son playing on the same team (rivers father and son did it), and first coach, bronny as assistant coach and bryce as a player 😁😆😄
No, because the league banned it years ago. You need 13 minutes to explain that?
James jones does not like that bron turnover off of his foot 😂
James is the only one that kept it real
D Lo is a issue and some despise the power they assume LeBron has and that's Byron frustration with team Ham didn't deserve to be fired but they should've traded D Lo he showed last post season he disappears 🤔
D'Lo to the WNBA
