IF LeBron wins another ring it WON'T BE AS A LAKER 🗣️ Stephen A. wants to SEE CHANGE 💍 | First Take 

Lol. Lakers will still be a topic for the next couple rounds, even though they're not there.

No the title tells you bro

dont worry. we are all gonna hear about KD and lebron not being able to get it doen and giannis as well till the end of the playoff

ESPN most darlings are always the Lakers.

Dude, that's enough. You know Lakers are the biggest franchise in sports. If you hate it then just don't watch it man

That’s what LeBRonSpN does and will continue to do so.

Cuz you'll watch it and many others. The numbers don't lie

If I had to guess, Lakers as a franchise + having Lebron helps a ton, probably holds around 15-20 percent of nba revenue when it comes to ratings lol

Did you watch the Iowa women’s college game? They got paraded around like they 3peated and went undefeated

It's absurd at this point..

How dare you forget the Clippers. Lol.

Sorry but we are a business. We have to talk about what is going to get the most views if we want to maximize our profits.

That’s what they do.

Lebron needs more help tour

He want win .

that's the problem with the NBA today, it's all about the players instead of the team

Well the question is can Lebron win with the Lakers and they all said no. They never talked about getting the Lakers 18 because that wasn’t what the prompt was about.

So they can debate who's the goat with past players to get ratings

It’s a player driven league

Well, if lebron gets his fifth ring, lakers get their 18th. So they go hand in hand

If they can land Donovan Mitchell or maybe Trae Young I wouldn’t rule them out

Big facts

@willsportz not to mentioned the guy’s way past his prime. He’s not a two way player anymore.

Because they are dumbasses that think they know what they are talking about. Especially the loud one with the dying hairline

As it is...AD & LeBron's salaries ate up just over half the team limit & the rest was split on the 13 other players. Imagine if they sign another high priced star?

Denver is the best boring team in the world the Spurs 2.0 I understand why they talk about the Lakers more because rating would go down because no body but the people in Denver want to hear about the Nuggets. Labraun by himself is more interesting. Yall stop asking questions you already no the answer to.

@@jtwayne5958Can’t disagree. To be honest at times, I do really feel like Denver scores easy. Do mind that scoring at the NBA level is already hard enough, but they make it look easy. I think the T-Wolves would probably outmatch the Nuggets. The Lakers leading every game at half, and then Denver making a comeback is commendable. Against, Minnesota I don’t see it happening as often, maybe 1 or 2 games, but not as in this one.

@eternum4141 I totally agree Denver has 3 true Bigs they can throw on Joker and they have better perimeter defense as soft as Rudy has been in his career this is the toughest I have seen him play especially with this supporting cast it's not gone be as many offensive boards this series.

check the stats, Lebron had the same ppg this series as AD. If lebron and AD play just as good as Jokic and Jamal, then the problem is the team around them. They don't have an MPJ or an Aaron Gordon, and probably the sorriest excuse for a coach.

Chill. Let nuggets walk to another 2 chips. It will be 2026 then maybe, just maybe, they might start talking about the role KCP and Bruce Brown played in Nuggets being a dynasty.

lol I just realized it said purple in fold lol

The lakers live in the paint. Of course they are going to have more free throws. Get the hate out your heart playa!

@@beamernz1 statically, Lakers doesn't live in the paint any more than the average team. Do some actual research.

@@beamernz1where do u think Jokic (the best player in the league and a Center) plays most of the time?? The PAINT. He shot the same amount of ft’s as u and I. He played over 40 mins and grabbed 20 rebounds. Think about that for a sec. How does that happen?! Without being fouled once?

Man you a casual or just a bron hater

@LetItFly69 it’s the different between finesse and brute force. LA tends to bang into you when the score. Jokic just scores effortlessly over the top. He doesn’t shoot many free throws because usually there’s no contact on his shot unless the defender bites in a fake.

Ah yes, Tennessee Ernie Ford's favorite line from 60-70 years ago. (Except of course that he always said "long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs). Glad to see the classics get a new life. Well done.

I see SAS and Shannon have great chemistry working together. Way better than Max Kellerman or Skip.

Right

What was he supposed to do exactly, average 50 ppg and be prime Dennis Rodman on defense???? I don’t remember anybody crying about Jordan not playing defense at 39 and he missed the playoffs entirely. If u actually look at the stats for the series the only ppl who actually upped their level of play was Lebron, AD, and Austin Reaves. Literally everyone else on the roster that played averaged less points in this series than they did the whole regular season.

Lmao dude he’s 39

@@adh2298dude talking bout him not even tryna get back on defense and u really ask what he supposed to do 😂 u Lebron fans have a losers mentality

@@adh2298Jordan won more games at 40 than lebron at 38-39. And Jordan didn’t have AD and everything. Jordan was still the best player on his team on the wizards. Plus the obvious…lebron wouldn’t have made playoffs last two years except the play in which is bs let him in. Technically lebron didn’t even make playoffs last couple years it’s just Silver lowered the bar to make playoffs. Learn bball dude

His 2nd option scored 17 points 1 in the 2nd half. The role players need to help the superstar look at jokic even in an off night his role players are contributing. Basketball is a team game how tf you gonna win or get anywhere if you cant rely on the supporting cast?

👏🏽👏🏽😂

That’s because he’s no GOAT. Think about it he matched 90% of Jordan’s failures but not his successes. Jordan’s been swept 2x vs LeBron’s 3x, Jordan missed the playoffs 2x (Wizards years) vs LeBron 3x, Jordan was 1-9 without Pippen vs LeBron 1-8 WITH AD. Now when you look at the successes Jordan 6/6 in the Finals vs LeBron’s 4/10, Jordan 6x FMVP vs LeBron 4x, Jordan 5x MVP vs LeBron 4, Jordan 9x All Defensive First Team vs LeBron’s 5x, Jordan 10x scoring champion vs LeBron’s 1x, Jordan 3x steals leader vs LeBron 1x assist leader, Jordan 1x DPOY vs LeBron’s 0. But yet people want to say he surpassed Jordan due to longevity numbers

@@suntansuperman26 the only longevity number really is total points and playoff games played. Bron also has way more turnovers than MJ way more losses in the playoffs than MJ. Christ Bron only shoots 32% outside of 3'.

@@suntansuperman26 Intersting, love these insights boss man. Two more things I'll add is MJ has never been swept in the conf. finals or finals while LeBron has been swept in both 😣😬

All of those points you said are because lebron is in a better era of players + the turnovers are because he scored so much points/assists it comes with the territory

​@@turbomoist7143being less than .500 in the Finals means you played in a weak conference. Even when he won in the West, it required the bubble and a lot of arbitrary rules no one took seriously.

@@turbomoist7143 with Adam Silver's help. LeBron instigated by sticking his crotch in Draymond's head. Also Bogut and Iguodala got injured after Game 5. And before you go out and say all they lost was a role player, Cleveland was losing Game 7 at the half and without JR Smith hitting 3-4 threes early in the 3rd, Cleveland wouldn't have survived.

The entire lineup could be all stars

@@jmoore0386 'could be'

And shooters and the greatest coach of all time

Pippen was more than a Semi All Star though, he was a Swiss Knife type All Star imo. But i agree he didn't need as much help as the self proclaimed goat, and still got more rings in less years...

Phil was an assistant and became a great coach with the Bulls and Jordan, he didn’t arrive as a great coach. Also, Pippen is one of if not the most overrated basketball player of all time.

Yeah but no one was shooting threes like they are now. This is a completely different league now.

​@@MrBakosotrue...but pippen wasnt dropping 28ppg 15 rpg in a series like Anthony Davis

And they never once look inward and realise that their King doesn't play off the ball, resulting in many stars and border line allstars being ineffective with him

Lebron needs Jokic, Giannis, Luka, and Steph to have a chance at a title

@@gavinremedioshe does play off the ball but he is a point foward and the 1st or 2nd greatest ever so ofc he’ll get first dibs on the ball and he’s the best playmaker with jokic in the leauge

ikr. two hall of famers on the team and still want another star

It's no good when the top 2 the only 2 showing up. No bench performance and role players hardly show up. Role players and the bench are very vital to any championship formula

@@reshardbooth7375you coping hard lil bro, reaves kept you in the game in the fourth without him y’all would been fucked, not to mention hachimura and dlo scored in double digits. You played your starters 38+ minutes, dude wants to have an all star team to win. Lebron missed a bunch of 3s at the end of the game but as long as his percentage is over 35% all that matters right?

@@reshardbooth7375 lol jokic carried campazzo and will barton to the playoffs, lbj is master of empty stats...how much help does he needs to leave play it tournament lol

The Lakers would have made the playoffs the last two years without the play in dummy. Finished 7th last year and 8th this year. They have never been helped by the play in.

Playoff Jamal is top 10.

we going to ignore the team around these guys? Lebron and AD outplayed Jokic and Jamal. But they couldn't make up for MPJ or aaron gordon with the inconsistency of their other starters.

He needs role players to contribute

I sure as hope someone helps curry win another chip my warriors needs some help Curry needs another star or 2 to win another chip

Jamal is definitely top 5 in the playoffs. 2 game winners in this series alone. Without those 2 Lakers might be leading 3-2 rn

Ya! The thing is there are a lot of casual fans now bc the NBA is just not as good/competitive anymore bc of Lebron & all the team hopping & clicking up. Imo, once the Warriors won 73 games & didn’t win the chip, the regular season stop mattering & has affected the league negatively…

Jokic played a perfect series . Murray ( although hobbled) was clutch. Porter Jr. was fantastic too.

Honestly it’s because they don’t believe the Nuggets played well. All I heard the commentators talk about was how Denver was yet to have a good game. What they really meant was that they didn’t see Denver go nuts the way they did against LA last year. Jamal Murray, as great as he was late in games, was just his average self this series. He wasn’t the super hero he was last year, but everyone expected him to be. Jokic was Jokic. The Denver bench was as bad if not worse than the LA bench. Denver played as well as they could against a tough opponent. I expect their time against the wolves to be a little smoother.

Sure they played well lol by winning 2 pts because they should not have challenge that last call , and A davis getting hurt, right

There is nothing new about Nuggets. They have been consistent beating 11-0 on Lakers. Other David & LBJ. They did not have the 3rd guy! They lost by 2
