LeBron James Explains How Luck Played a Role in Ray Allen's Famous Shot 

Episode 5 is all about the playoffs. It drops first thing tomorrow morning. Subscribe if you haven't and we'll see you then.

the comment section be like: 1% - Talking about Ray Allen's 3 1% - Usual hate about Bron 98% - Bron's legs

bron clearly hasn’t skipped leg day in 20 years

Watched Ray Allens Three Pointer a million Times and today is the first Time i reconized Manu falling down😅

Back out to Allen, his 3 pointer.. BANG‼️

Dudes leg is insane looking

Everything you had heard about Ray Allen’s work ethic showed with that shot. Him back peddling behind the line without looking down wasn’t luck that was a mastery of the dimensions of a basketball court

He said “I am the Luck “ Cold as bar 💯

"having me on the team is luck", he laughed..Le bron ooozes confidence. he knows he is damn good and dismisses haters. love this guy

Reddick would've been a great wing shooter for Bron...especially going against Denver...well...hopefully

Am I the only person addicted to this podcast

I'm going to hit legs right now. Lebron got me feeling insecure lol.

As a lifelong Spurs fan, a treat to hear the Spurs come up multiple times in this podcast. Want to expand more on something most don't really know about, that 2017 Spurs team. The Kawhi injury in the 2017 playoffs was such a devastating injury. The 2017 Spurs are one of the biggest "what-if" teams from this century... a team with a truly dominant star in Kawhi, a perfect number 2 in LaMarcus Aldridge, and perfect role players with one of the best coaches of all time at the top. Kawhi had truly ascended to the conversation of best player in the league, and unless you watched the games, you could not understand just how dominant he was. Defensively, he could shut down an entire side of the court himself when he was off the ball due to his anticipation, long arms/hands, quickness, and instincts, and then on-ball he was another monster. Truly a marvel. Then offensively, he was just so efficient, he was almost too unselfish. 28/8/5 on 53/46/93 splits while playing alongside Tony Parker, Manu, Danny Green, Pau Gasol, LaMarcus Aldridge, Patty Mills... The Spurs could compete with anyone and had the wing defenders to keep up with the Warriors. Game 1, we are up 19 with 2 free throws on the way and Zaza Pachulia makes one of the dirtiest plays in NBA history, intentionally stepping under Kawhi (playing on an already injured ankle) and injuring him, knocking him out the rest of the series. Spurs end up losing game 1... but if Kawhi doesn't get injured Spurs most likely win Game 1 on the road and we will never know what could've been. A real shame.

I can't get enough of this podcast. I hope they never end it

Just a reminder that sports are TEAM games, before the “Ray Allen saved lebron” comments arrive

We need more videos! I know he’s currently still playing but God it is so good to hear Lebron and JJ talk basketball but also teach it within the highest level

Legit just finished watching the previous video, I’ll be here all night tyvm

good lord brons legs.

Funny how he didn’t mention the Ray Allen shot until JJ brought it up. So he remembered Zaza, Horry and all that but not the biggest moment that saved his career? He didn’t forget just didn’t wanna admit it was luck

That god damn play will always give me goosebumps.

1:25 thats cold ngl

You know Manu blowing up JJs and LeBrons phones right now-"I heard you were talking shit!?"

Great show. This is a great outlet for LBJ and Big JJ!

We got to release the whole podcast first guys.. I understand the clips but the podcast in full first is the way. Is first

Spurs were up 20 on GS when Kawhi went out. They also won the season series vs them as well.

Lebrons calf doesn’t look real here

Hearing bron talk at length in these podcasts is nothing short of magical. I mean he’s interesting as fuck when reporters are trying to trip him up in his answers, so when you just got somebody trying to facilitate literally anything he would like to actually say on the game it is like actual gold dust. One of the greatest basketball minds ever, or just minds period, forget about fucking basketball. 🔥

On point on Manu trying to grab that rebound - he's so competitive he can't help himself and just goes for it - for better or worse. It could lead to blunders (foul on dirk in 2006 game 7, rebound attempt in 2013 Finals) and some amazing stuff (risky block on Harden in 2017 and others).

He didnt mention the luck with both Kawhi and Manu spliting their free throws in the lead up to Ray's 3

I wish they dived in deeper. Lebron scored 16 in the 4th to lead the comeback, hit the 3 right before Ray when it looked like all hope was lost. Lebron played a great 4th quarter but had 2-3 terrible turnovers in last 2 minutes which was almost too much to overcome. Nevertheless he hits the 3 before Ray and misses the tying one but Bosh and Ray did everything perfectly to tie it up. Ray practiced that shot every day he said - SPECIFICALLY without looking down. Ray said ''what if once I wont have time to look down? All the clutch shots, game winners all lead up to that one moment. '' Ray Allen Game 6 shot and Kyrie Game 7 shot are quite literally the one of the most clutch shots in finals/NBA history. The gravity of both those shots is hard to put into words

This podcast is fire and two great basketball minds it’s perfect.

“I was on the team, that’s the luck.” - can’t lie, I really love Bron talkin his shit and coming out of his shell.

This podcast is fantastic. Love the topics love the insight. Intelligent discussion about the game. Great chemistry between Lebron and JJ.

Yes lebron, us cavs fans were lucky to have you twice

Man this man's watch is insane

“Cleans glass” stealing this

Look at legoat man 👑🐐🔥

I'm glad Bron is doing a podcast now. Didn't think he would start doing it till after he retired.

The comment about manu is so damn true and, as a Spurs fan, it shirley hearts.

Kawhi Leonard’s shot against Philly. That’s true luck!

I hate why people hate on Bron for this we forget this is a team game.

As a spurs fan it’s refreshing & heartbreaking to hear this good content 😢

I would love it if they asked Bron about Game 7 of that Spurs series or did a film study on that with these 2. It'd be great to see.

Dumbest decision popovich ever made was having Tim Duncan out the game🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ was watching live like whyyyyyy

2:42 klay feel that one they probably beat lebron 4-1 in 2016 if klay didn’t say that on the podium 🤣 “I guess his feelings got hurt”

This series is awesome

This podcast is good for my mental health

What LEBRON did in that 4th quarter before is what made that RAY ALLEN shot even possible to happen. Lebron James scored 12 of his game-high 32 points during the fourth quarter of Game 6 after removing his headband on his way to one of the 10 triple-doubles he’s notched during an NBA Finals game. In doing so, he helped erase the 10-point lead that Tim Duncan, Kawhi Leonard and Tony Parker built heading into the final period. Along with his prolific performance from a scoring standpoint, LeBron also dished out a game-high 11 assists to go along with 10 rebounds. The next highest assist-man on the night was Parker with eight for the Spurs and only Duncan had more rebounds (17). James would also add a block on Timmy late in the fourth quarter that proved critical. . So YES, RAY ALLEN's shot was definitely the most important shot of the game, BUT !!!, that shot would have no way to even EXIST, if LEBRON did not put on that extraordinary SUPER HUMAN performance in that 4th QUARTER right before that shot. With that being said, people like to say "RAY ALLEN'S SHOT SAVED LEBRON LEGACY" !!!! Well, it also can be said that LEBRON'S CRAZY GREAT 4TH QUARTER PERFORMANCE ALSO SAVED RAY ALLEN's LEGACY AS WELL

Gets bailed out by Ray then proceeds to say Ray’s shot was luck, but Lebron’s miss prior was skill right. 😂

As heartbreaking that 2013 play was for us Spurs fans, I know that Finals loss is what lit the fire for the 2014 team to absolutely dominate and be the "beautiful game" Spurs. So...can't be too mad about it anymore 🙂

full episode please...stop teasing us😂

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thanks Manu.

2:56 "it's not dooooughh" 🤣🤣

As a Spurs fan I never watch replays of that shot 🥲

GOAT JAMES

Skip bayless about to have a field day with lebron mentioning the kawhi injury and bosh rebound being lucky. He’s been saying that for years

“Yup yup” “yup” “yup” 🗣️🔥🔥💯

I want to hear lebron talk about the 180 3pointer he hit when he was on the cavs playing Washington for the game winning buzzer beater assisted by Kevin Love 🔥

LeBron fighting the urge not to say Draymond being suspended for the 2016 finals lol

Lucky shot that save you from being 3 and 7 in the finals

I’ve never seen someone post a segment from a full podcast before the full podcast drops on RU-vid . Cool marketing

3:03 That boy lit!

Bron's leg gives me fucking LIFE!!!

Thanks manu 😭😭

Vince Carter: “He got the Bionic Left Leg”

I love this podcast

Luck is Bogut getting injured, Iggie getting injured, Dray getting suspended, and Curry injuring knee but playing through it which allowed Bron to come back from 3-1!!! No one ever talks about how lucky he was that year!!

Ray Allen literally saved Lebron Legacy..he still doesn't give Ray his flowers

Let’s also not forget the refs stopping the game to review whether it was a 3 pointer or not by Ray Allen. Coach Pop wanted to attack immediately and not call timeout to try and get the Heat to make a mistake in transition and look for an open buzzer beater. Pop was furious

Shoutout JJ Barea!

This has to be the most garbage thing on yt atm 😂😂

The point about Manu being overzealous going for the rebound and not staying home on the shooter is not what true crazed competitors want to hear…but it’s true. The mental side of the game matters.

A jordan lebron podcast would be beyond legendary

It is revisionist history on my part, but JJ had a point about Manu. They needed a 3, so you let CB4 grab that rebound and stick with the greatest shooter in history (at the time). Extremely hard to stay that disciplined when you're competing and you see a loose ball in the air, tho.

Bron really is him, he said im the luck 💯

Luck is definitely needed, but you can force luck your way. Take good care of your body and you have less chances of injury. Prepare the shot like Ray Allen did and there is a bigger chance you make it. Be a better team and less opportunities to fuck up happen, etc, etc.

As a spurs fan, that “Thanks Manu” HURT my soul 🥲

I can’t imagine how much more that shot would hurt me (Spurs fan) if they didn’t get it done the next year.

That series Lebron gained ALL my respect. I remember coach Pop living with Bron shooting. And he made them pay more times than not. 🔥🔥

Conveniently forgets the draymond ejection ..

I was in COP Shuradam, Kandahar Afghanistan 2012- 2013 . Paid others to change out when capable and was in the mess hall when Ray Allen made that shot. I honestly about walked out after LBJ’s three but for some reason stayed. Best moments of my deployment. 🙏

Bron I pray you remember you’re human so these convos can be a little easier. lol the beauty of podcastin are the imperfections

Is lebron a cyborg!!! How does the man legs look animated no diddy🔥🔥🔥

"I can't think of any specific luck off the top of my head." Draymond Green, nut whacker extraordinaire, enters the chat.

Yes I started watching the video and was like damm this man legs are crazy drop the work out plans LBJ??!! No diddy!!!

"The crazy details" should have been the pod name

Timmy gets that rebound 100 times out of 100.

"Rebound Bosh! Back out to Allen! His 3-pointet ..."

Bron acting like he couldn’t immediately recollect the most consequential shot of his entire career is comedy on Bron could produce lol. The ego fragility is goated for sure

"I was on the team, that's the luck" lmao

As a sixers fan I remember a different lucky kahwi moment in the playoffs...

Another lucky moment could’ve been LeBron driving against Paul George in Indiana in the playoffs in Miami and Roy Hibbert not being on the floor to clog the middle. Great question

JJ you are the next Los Angeles Lakers coach 🫵🏾!

If Pop didn’t sit Tim Duncan that last sequence I don’t know if Bosh gets that rebound

"tryna think of my championship runs." w leflex

Please ask him about his lob dunk on Jason Terry

I was on the team that’s the luck right lol goat answer 😂😂😂😂

Prime example of playoff series basketball luck moment - Kawhi Leonard “the shot” Raptors vs Sixers

1:20 nah all bron fans know it’s a fact we not joking 🤬🤣
