How NBA Offenses Have Become Impossible To Stop | LeBron James & JJ Redick 

The cavs lost to the Celtics in 2017 game 4

Imagine that guy not being top 75

​@@jamirlinton8264​ Huh? Cavs lost game 3, won game 4 and 5 game and won series 4-1.

​@@jamirlinton8264😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 my guy can't read and I think it's actually a microcosm of bigger things. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Only 3 closeout wins without bron and all of them in first round against weak opponents

He keeps using x for offense he ain't gonna get it

He will never have the guts to do it

killing the interview. Got LeBron saying Yep 1000 times

@@dill6827not an interview it’s a discussion

Maybe but I feel he don’t want that pressure or he doesn’t have the nuts to do it idk

Facts bro 😅

Lol

Nah let him cook

He sure did lmao

Lol

😂😂😂

We may not be LeBron James or JJ Reddick but check out our RU-vid channel/podcast for NBA content!

Bruh chill

Coaches like Darvin Ham have been paying attention. The Lakers 1st game this season he said they would shoot more 3s and that he wanted AD to shoot at least 6 a game. AD hardly shot any this season. AD doesn't like shooting 3s.

@user-xl8zy6bp7b Right but AD had a great season defensively and offensively. He wasn’t scoring at the level of embid but he was still a top player. Shooting 3s would have created more turnover during his possessions and more losses if he doesn’t develop into a reliable shooter.

Darvin has a ring as an assistant coach...JJ Reddick is all smoke and mirrors

after all, he's probably watching :D

Y'all need to snatch Adrian Griffin or JJ can try but hopefully he don't get mad at the backlash if he can't pull it off

Don’t recommend going into coaching for JJ as he’s doing so well now. Coaching job in the NBA might be the most blamed position in the entire world 😂 other than POTUS

You mean the Lakers coach killer talking to a lackey?

Fr

*Temporary coach talking

😂😂😂😂😂

I haven't even finished watching this video, but as a Mavs fan I approve of this comment.

Burner

dp is a really good screen setter though

Only mavericks fans understand the amount of intangibles Powell brings to the table. His toughness is highly underrated.

Lol, nah he's getting paid more doing podcast

They are massive 😂

Bruhhhhh

I saw him play in person and physically seeing him made me realize how big he truly is!! It's a linebacker, basically charging at you.

No cap 😂

!! insane

Same here. They talk bs

WHat did you learn?

I’ll dunk on him right now

No diddy

Man Wtf tho, that sht crazy

Bruuuuuh

Damn you thought of that all by yourself ?

I think it's more about the rules than the "more skilled" stuff. Kyrie in game 6 hit a series of moves and hit a corner 3 while contested... but he was able to take 4 steps without dribbling. That would be an obvious travel in the 90s. How do you guard someone when they are allowed 4 steps?

The league doesn't have any defense anymore you can't tell me these guys would do this against a prime Jordan kawhi Gary Payton a lot of players averaging 20 now would average 12 in the defense of 90s early 2000s

@@MegaChallangerit was three with the ball cuff, that first left step was him gathering the ball. That’s definitely a harden type of side step( travel) so regardless it’s definitely just about the “atmosphere”. Players say it all the time, you can get away with a lot more win it comes to the post season.

@@tobiusdawson4639 so ball cuff, AND gather step? Jeez. No wonder you can't guard anyone these days. In a nutshell, modern players would feel more restricted in the 90s, and players of the past would feel a lot more freedom if put in today's game.

sneaky

And these guards don’t feel comfortable dropping down and being in the trenches. To both sides it’s foreign. If i was a coach I’d just practice mismatches all day becasue they’re going to happen one way or another

@@jaredwilliams9638 you must have the personnel to force mismatches tho

😆

💯

Then you have not watched Thinking Basketball then.

So good that LEBRON was doing it instead of winning in the playoffs

Its the make excuses for all of Lebrons failures channel

Its better than whats on the tv too

Steve Novak bronze card in 2k13 started 5 out basketball 🤣

And subbing Chalmers out for Ray Allen and using D Wade and Bron as point lol

5 out has been around way before 2k

@@ygnyung6603 he said taken over the NBA, not when it first originated. And he’s right, people played 2ks more like the NBA is played today, with 5 out offense with iso or pnr spams.

@@JonathanWoodall they do not play 5 out like how it’s played on 2k lol there’s absolutely no movement or actions from the wings and forwards just the point guard going back and forth on a screen from a big lol

No, I will not

Are you alive sir

i am not okay

That’s not criticizing lakers defense. That’s talking about opponents offense schemes and how they put any modern defense in forced bad positions.

I might be in the minority, but I like the laid back setting with wine and whiteboard.

lol nah they would’ve kept getting swept

@@bodies_by_corpus Yeah, they probably needed the triangle offense with Phil Jackson as a coach to succeed! Leave your mom’s house now, and get a job!

Not with KD on the Warriors brah

@@stevep4236 Easily broken!

​@@sonya1911 and lebron needed wade and bosh to win first ring. He needed a bubble and the 3rd best player in the league to win another ring. He needed kyrie to Bury that shot. Warriors wouldn't sweep lakers without KD. See we can keep going. Phil Jackson wouldn't win without MJ and Kobe. He coached newyork with the triangle. Ineffective without MJ or Kobe. You can't take a championship winning team and look at what they had and use that as a sleight against them. What are players supposed to do? Win by themselves. Use your head

Understanding AND execution. Lots of people are good at one or the other….very few are great at both. I can’t think of another team whose had two that are ELITE at both. It’s incredible to watch.

wow ty for insight magic

There also clutch makes shots when it matters

Dribble hand off

Lmao this should be top comment

Not necessarily, you can know what to do but you also need the personnel to be able to stop it, the wolves were a great matchup for the nuggets but not the lakers.

Since when did a topics interest or relevancy become dependent on how hard or difficult it is to understand? There is no correlation like that. Or perhaps a better way to put it is that you’ve missed the REAL correlation. The analytics are interesting not because of how easy or difficult they are to understand. The analytics are interesting because they in several ways defined and explain the evolution of the sport. And evolution is what is actually interesting and that is a correlation.

@@ObiAmajoyiSrMD I find analytics to be interesting as I had mentioned. And I do like JJ Redick on ESPN and as a commenatror during games and appreciate his enthusiasm for analytics. But my point was not about NBA analytics being simple to understand or because they are simple to understand that it is not interesting. The point I was making was about JJ REDICK'S OBSESSIVE FASCINATION with BASIC analytics. If the topic was something more complicated and had more talking points like the discovery of DNA for example, an obsessive fascination would be more understandable.

But LeBron tries to control the offense which undermines Kyrie’s game. He gets along with Luka so well because both are willing to give up control, love making a great pass, and have such different skill sets they can admire each other’s games without feeling competitive about it.

@@SDesWriter it the exact opposite lmaooo luka only looks to pass when he can’t get a shot . That’s why Brunson is in New York …ballin . He left Lebron because the media was in his head

@@TOKYO9AIN first, Luka passes all the time, including when he’s passing up a shot to give a teammate an open look. Second, Brunson didn’t leave the Mavs because of Luka dufus. He talks about Luka and how much he admires him all the time. The Mavs didn’t make him an offer and let him go because Cuban didn’t think he was worth what NY offered. Besides, they play the same position with the same style. People complain about Luka’s 23 shots per game but Brunson averaged over 30 (at poor efficiency) in the 1st round. He wanted to be the man and be paid like the man to play PG so he went to a team that would give him both. Then your silly ass tries to blame Luka because you don’t actually know anything….
