LeBron's First NBA Basket was Absurd... Here's Why 

Facts

😭😭😭

The le fuck you yes we need to know 😂😂

That’d definitely be a top basketball video clip. That needs to be talked about by Lebron ASAP

Lmaoooo HE CANT SPILL THE BEANS BUT HE DO GOT A SPELL ON THE BALL

i would've loved this back door passes to JJ, Lebrom crazy passes to JJ curling off a screen, JJ randomly throwing a lob on a fast break lol

He would've had a longer career

Woulda been deadly

LeBron did play with Kyle Korver who's role was kind of similar.

@@luf4rallnot the same basketball IQ though

@okaybih990it was twenty years ago.. an entire scholastic lifetime for most people.

@@Megatron797 doesn't change the fact that the quality was already good back then.. these youtube clips are just reduced from re-recording

Man shit look like it's 1950s😂

​@okaybih990 bro look at the other footage of his 2003 games its all blurry asf lol

@@qualinteranzy7948 thats because like he said its re recorded go to nba TV and watch there old 2000s games or even 90s and the quality is top notch

No it isn't. LeBron is great at repeating him right after. He watches his lips.

its cute. GG Redick wasnt the greatest basketball player so he references all the playmaking moves and coaching strats, which Lebron is highly IQ'd and remembers every single one referenced.

Crazy how analytics changed the game forever

They’ll treat em like Doc is on the queue that’s for dam sure 😭

It is a loss. Every basket can't be a 3

OMG they just going over history. It's good not that deep tho bro, RELAX Gil has had much better convos on running 1-4 low and why. Or the NBA subbing convos, or his NBA training convos RELAX

​@@LEGENDTVEEyou lose all credibility for liking Gil. Gil just says racist stuff and creates controversy

@@Oldasianguy lol facts can't lose credibility... That's aside from the point, you reaching... Take what's useful and discard the rest... Get your thoughts up, he obviously distracting you

@@LEGENDTVEEgil says a lot of questionable shit

@@Ervcurveetc. Bra stop mixing feelings with the facts. Questionable shit aside. He can tell you what the work looks like to become a star player, look at his son ... We are talking basketball IQ and conversations and what it takes. He has delivered that on point. The other stuff is the other stuff, don't mix the sweet with the vinegar.. come on guys piece your life together with the things that actually make sense and work time tested. This man gave the game on what Kobe did to become great period. Nothing can discredit that. Hell you live long enough everyone you love/like will say questionable skit lol... Grow off the facts not the feelings... Come join LegendTVee and get this game Brodie

An Rashad didn’t miss in the ecf then tested positive for ped that same summer smh

​@@byrdgotti1040i thought it was the summer after they lost to the Celtics the next season.

​@pcharl01 it was. Then Cleveland boys just still mad we killed them that series. If it wasn't for that lucky lebron shoot in game 2 they would've got swept. Imagine complaining about PED while defending Lebron 😂

A simple google search gentleman 2009 besides bron bought one back to the city so we gucci

Facts

like your mom

I’m from the future: after Silver cashes in on Lebron he stops covering up. Huge PeD scandal ensues. Lebron then comes out as trans

Not Center, unless I’m mistaken

@@monifamuyide2324played center when Russ was there

@@monifamuyide2324 You're mistaken

I urge you to look out for people who will find a way to hate on LeBron. It's disturbing

I realized that too. If it’s first takes comments it would be nothing but ignorance and and assumptions nobody can prove if right or wrong

You're at 23 likes so I won't like but I like

honestly, I expect that. Once you get the ball rolling you should never let it slow down ... Just keep at it. He could play till 50 and should not look at the numbers of years or minutes, only to how he feels and what his body is saying. So keep working out and it wont end anytime soon.

Yessir, top 5 all time player for sure💪🏽

​@@pierredorsey7983 well it's no longer at 23 likes so you can like now but appreciate it.

​@@2Big4Film I agree, I think we should appreciate the fact that he's been doing it for so long but at the same time we shouldn't say that he should retire just because he's played for so long. Guys like Vince Carter played 22 seasons and he was nowhere close to where LeBron is right now when he was reaching the end of his career.

His knowledge definitely isn’t AS valuable, or there wouldn’t even be the situation you just described.

I also think Lebron is not great in terms of explaining what he's thinking or what he means.

@@michaelj9277jjs knowledge arguably more valuable as hes a white guy with extremely limited athletic abilities who had a 15 year nba career. Lebron is a 1 of 1, nobody can really relate

You made that up or you haven’t watched the whole thing. JJ is in clear command of this conversation.

You’re reading too much into this lol This is exactly how he “interviews” people on his own podcast. He doesn’t care if it sounds like an “interview”. He even talked about how important it is to know your role on a basketball team and know who the most important player is. Silly to think that he doesn’t know it’s the same case here.

However, both of them lied Jameer was hurt that whole series so both of them are creating a false narrative to make excuse on why James failed. They lost because James has always been subpar in the final minutes

You say this like Kobe ain’t blew the opportunity getting swept by the Mavericks… Mind you they were back to back defending champs

Kobe and Bron had 5 seasons to make that matchup happen

😂 you mean when he developed a consistent jumper

Poop poop lol

What do you mean end, the ninja still playing and will be for a few more years

@@7770robistill balling too 😂😂

Lakers big game tonight, he ain't gone yet man

@@7770robiI’m sure he’ll be done by the end of the 2024-2025 season, maybe the end of the 2025-2026 season at the latest

@@7770robi if u haven't heard him in a interview he's doesn't have much time left and thinking of retiring

I think it really changed with Stoudamire and Steve Nash

Right, the blueprints were there in the 90s, you could see some coaches experimentating with run and gun smallball basketball already in that period, but it was very primitive and mostly utilized to push the pace, not so much to optimize space in the half court... I think that was in large part due to the fact that there just weren't enough players at the time that could really punish teams from the 3PT line consistently. And the players weren't really being taught to play basketball in that manner anyway... It took until like the mid 2000s for long distance shooting to improve to a point where you could reliably count on a two or three players on a team to knock that 3PT shot down consistently, of course, bonus points if you were near 7 foot, cause then you also took the opposing rim protector out of the paint. So yeah, by the mid 2000s, you already start seeing the proto-modern pace & space offense with the Phoenix Suns. You just needed a team that had all the right pieces on the roster that playing any other style didn't really make sense. You had Marion and Boris Diaw who were basically versatile enough to play 3 positions, a lot of outside shooters and a GOAT level playmaker in Nash... Then you had the Warriors who beat a 67-win Dallas team in 2007 by playing lineups like Baron Davis, Monta Ellis, Jason Richardson, Stephen Jackson, Mikael Pietrus, Matt Barnes, Al Harrington... with Biendris being their only Center who played less than 20 min per game. Around that time it became really obvious that having basically two 7-footers in the game at the same time was overkill and that offenses run much better with only one Center and another taller wing that can play on the perimeter (like Shawn Marion, Diaw, Rashard Lewis etc.) so Boston and LA put Garnett and Gasol at Center and dominated the league in the late 2000s, so then it only made sense for Miami to play Bosh at Center too. And this is where i think OKC failed at the time. The were clear title contenders in 2011-2013 but kept playing Perkins and Ibaka for some reason with Russ there who was a poor shooter himself. They should've just put Ibaka at 5 (With Collison as the backup 5), KD at 4 and brought some wing defenders/shooters. And they'd be unstoppable.

For me, when the Sonics had Brent Barry they were like a cheat code in 2K and Live back in the day. Him, Ray, Rashard, and Vladamir Radmanovic with Ridnour, my OG AD (Antonio Daniels), and Flip Murray. Calvin Booth and Jerome James protecting the paint. That was the 3 point swish all day squad.

Yea it's a joke lol Lebrons always had a decent jumpshot

​@@ALONZOHARRIS2020he was just streaky

11 minutes ain't a preview bro,it's a whole video 🤣 all love 🙌🫡

I'm a Laker fan and i hope you're right. But... We're not even in the top 5 favourites

💀💀

He said he didn't care... It ended then & there....😅

Facts lakers in 6 💪

You think you know more than Lebron when it comes to basketball I doubt it🤔 I disagree with you

@@melissawilliams6324 ok Bud.

But he's right about Marion. Marion at the 4 wasn't as scary at 3 point line like Rashard Lewis was or Rasheed Wallace was, even though Sheed still mostly played in the post.

Can’t. Because nobody could shoot lol. MJ, King, and Bird already had the luxury of having the illegal defense rule where a defender has to stand above the free throw line if the guy he’s guarding is above the 3pt line - even if it’s Luc Longley lol. Offense was a lot easier back then because you couldn’t double before the catch nor play zone.

@@allan3364facts on facts

They'd have to change their game entirely to play in this era. Idk where people get that they'd somehow manage tons more points playing nowadays when we have some of the best shooters to ever touch a basketball not getting those crazy points. People will hate me for saying this and that's fine, but MJ's game today would translate to what we see with DeMar DeRozen. Mid range is nice but he's not consistent from 3 and doesn't get to the rim easily because you now have weak side help and sophisticated defensive schemes that wasn't around in Jordan's day. Jordan would have to learn to run off of screens and shoot, he'd have to utilize the pick & roll, cutters, playing out of the corner, etc. His game would not translate well to how basketball is played now

I never saw BK or Bird really play but MJ yeah on TV. I feel like he kinda had solid spacing on his championship teams. Like on that second three-peat team when they'd put Rodman at the 5, Toni at the 4, Pip at the 3, MJ 2, and Kerr 1. I can't see of everyone out there on the RU-vid clip but from what I can see and remember that was the lineup on the Kerr game winner. Same with the Paxon game winner against Phoenix, it's MJ, Pip, Grant, Paxon, and Scott Williams who must've been out there because he was younger than Cartright. I don't remember. If it was today's game, with that same roster, Grant would be at the 5, Pip at the 4, MJ at the 3, Paxson 2, and BJ Armstrong at the 1, keep Pip running the show at his point forward spot.

And it happened the same a year later against Celtics. With the back to back MVP who got the 1# seed, unable to get finals and forced to create superteams (but he now buys useless podcasts to make us believe the first he had it wasn't, in fact he mocked Dirk after game three thinking they already had the win). Thankfully he managed to get even Ray Allen, to then quitting again on his franchise once the first loss (not 1, not 2, not 3, exactly lol) happened again. Fortunately for you Cavs fans, NBA mafia rigged draft lotteries and then he and LeKlutchMafia could create another super-team to get another negative record in the finals even for his second stint and quit again when another round of this "fascinating journey" had the chance to happen elsewhere.

When bigs start to shoot 3s and push the ball in transition
