I just love that everyone hyped up EVERY SINGLE TEAM the lakers had to face and then when they Demolished those teams they started acting like they weren’t good teams to begin with
@@crazytrain111 You hit the nail on the head. The narrative completely flipped after each playoff series. Blazers - “Greatest 8th seed ever” to “injured team with a losing record.” Rockets “Two MVPs, matchup nightmare” to “overrated ballhogs with no team chemistry.” LMAO
@@boblangford5514 Anything to downplay LeBron's accomplishments after the fact. I can't think of another athlete who's subject to as much negative revisionism.
“He won’t win another ring” “He isn’t capable of doing chasedown blocks anymore” *Literally wins a ring because of his chasedown block in the same year*
When you put it like that, it makes sense. His basketball IQ keeps him at an elite level. Obviously he's still very athletic (but not as much as the past)
@@schroeder2062 I gave LeBron respect. But when he came out and asked for it publicly like that......nah I grab my respect for him back. What's the point of coming out like that.
If he stayed healthy, I honestly think he could be 20ppg and 8-10 apg in his early 40s. Which would be fine alongside AD. The fact he will probably retire before dropping beneath these numbers really says it all.
Actually 20 ppg is still good bcos he will be averaging at least 7assists + For me Lebron is done when he drops below 10ppg 5apg ..but i think that may not happen ? bcos his 3 point shooting has improved and he has got that post up game / fadeaway
@@cp_pdn Yeah...he still has a few years for that. But...as humble as he is, and as much as he will say he does not need it to define him...he clearly wants it...so if sticking around an extra season makes it happen I think he will. Maybe Bronny Jr. Can assist his record breaking shot lol
I'm dead at Colin Cowherd thinking Lebron was going downhill only for him to come back and win the championship. I still don't see Lebron noticeably aging yet.
@ToniProductions He has knowledge, I agree. But sometimes his takes are just really bad that it just takes away his credibility. I mean people can be wrong but you cant always believe a guy who has consistently made many wrong predictions.
@ToniProductions I see your point, you cant always be right. Ive listened to some of his takes and some have substance in them. He based AD's "no dog in him" on that missed game winner on the regular season against the nets or whatever Im just guessing. He bases his takes on history and I understand that. Im not going to say he is always wrong but Id take whatever comes out of Cowherd's mouth rather than Parker's.
“I’ve never seen LeBron make a commitment to a team that wasn’t stacked ahead of time.” James signed a 4yr 60 mil extension wit Cleveland beginnin in 06-07. That roster included Damon Jones, Larry Hughes, Big Z, Drew Golden, Sasha Pavlocic’, Daniel “boogie” Gibson, Donyell Marshall and Shannon Brown. Sure looks like a bomsquad to me 😒. He took them to the finals, by the way.
I love LeBron as a player; his game is incredibly entertaining, effective, and it oozes greatness. But all that aside, seeing people doubt, hate on, and criticize him like this makes me want to root for the guy to succeed even more with every fiber of my being.
Funny how they said lakers wouldn’t win the bubble is too hard especially without Avery Bradley and then when the lakers win the bubble was too easy and “no one wanted to be there”
Imagine talking about a non superstar as if they are the biggest piece that’s missing when you have LBJ and AD, talking like Bradley is Pippen or something. Stop it. Yes he’s a solid player but they hyping Bradley up like he’s an all star, come on.
@@rockonufa02 yeah but you don't need to be an all-star to be impactful breh. Derek Fisher is an excellent example of an impact player who wasn't an all-star
Michael never had to face this type of criticism or over come it, you can’t confidently tell me this man doesn’t have a killer mentality, nobody told Kobe “you’re not going to win that ring” nobody told MJ “you’re too old” nobody told Kobe “I can’t wait until you lose” This man came into the NBA with higher expectations than any prospect in the history of the league, surpassed those expectations and y’all raised the roof every time he broke through it, THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!
Rob Parker hating never gets old this grown man 56 year old in his dusty ass Jordans that he found on sale at Ross never came back on Undisputed after hyping up the Clippers last year 🤣🤣
This guy Rob Parker is so sickening. He overflows with hatred with for LeBron. I wish someone would invite him on First Take and plays some of his takes on LeBron, and then ask him to comment.. damn fool
@Meh so.....its ALWAYS LeBrons team mates fault whenever he loses in Finals and its always because of LeBron who gets all the credit when they win are all LeBron fans under some kind of mind control or something to explain why they all act like robots?
@@youboob6297 well besides 2011 I don’t think it was really his fault for any other losses unless you can prove that it was his fault for other finals besides 2011.
@@brandonwitzel6699 •2010 playoffs Celtics all LeBrons fault •2011 Mavs all LeBrons fault •2018 Warriors LeBron gives up before overtime even begins thats just series LeBron lost because he played poorly or wasnt even in the game mentally but i was referring to LeBrons penchant for always coming up with an excuse for why he lost and his reputation for throwing his team mates under the bus, thats all
This is why Lebron said " I WANT MY DAM RESPECT " Stop questioning this mans greatness. They all hate cause they all see how great he is and want to protect their precious MJ.
I'm actually a big Raptors fan, and I know what meant by the double teams cause Nick Nurse loves them and is a great defensive coach, but he explained it all wrong and the Raptors couldnt even make it to the 3rd round. And I've NEVER heard anyone call it Canadian secret sauce that was just gringe
@@andrewm7351 Raptors were a good matchup for the Lakers imo, don't think they could ever beat them in a 7 game series. But, their defense on the Lakers, was pretty good. I watch a lot of raptors as well as a Canadian. Rappaport has always been lame lol.
The funniest part about Rob saying he came to make movies is that once they got AD he switched it to “he needs to play with great players and stack the deck” lmaooo
At least he tried to use some logic unlike Rob Parker and that joker Rapport. You can be wrong as long as you don’t sound like a straight up hater like those two
I know....this was the major take on here. Avery Bradley was supposed to be the Clincher lol. Now I guess the Heat should be the Favorite to win it all in 21
Skip Bayless is paid to be *THE Lebron Hater.* And it’s ridiculous, but it’s at least entertaining. But Rob Parker’s LeBron hate is just...ugh. He’s just so constantly delusional and mindless to the point where it actually disgusts me.
nobody wants to watch him his entire career -LeBron has the two LOWEST rated Finals in history -Jordan has the four HIGHEST rated Finals in history oh look! Lakers and LeBron on Christmas Day 2020. *lowest rated NBA Christmas Day game in history* trust me, nobody is gonna miss him except all the Bronsexuals, all 12 of you
@@alexruiz5915 youre the type of guy who gets told in court that not paying taxes is against the law and you say you dont believe it because you are a sovereign citizen in other words, continue being ignorant and in the dark your whole life, buddy
Collin: "Is not gonna chase you down and block you from behind" My brain: "CUE THE BLOCK CUE THE BLOCK Cues the block* Me: "I am perfectly content with this reality. I will now smash that like button".
Skip is doing the same thing he’s done for almost 2 decades, move the goal post and continuously repeat the same old tired statements “chosen one frozen one, ray allen, run from the free throw line, Michael Jeffrey Jordan, you know it and I know it” Rappaport has seemingly become humbled from the Lakers’ championship win and Parker I haven’t heard of him in months sorry lol
The new thing is " it was a bubble championship " . Also they're bringing back the " clutch gene" thing lately. Oh and they're really pushing the " he has a lot of miles on his legs" Pathetic lol
@@rawstatustv2358 yeah that shit is so annoying. But honestly ever since people and analysts predicted the Raptors to destroy the Cavs in the 2018 playoffs, and Lebron went on to destroy them, only for those same people to turn around and say “oh he only beat the baby dinosaurs and the raptors aren’t a serious team” , I just realized people will happily hate on Lebron with no remorse or reason. So I just try to remember that now
I swear if I hear another name drop of Daniel house, Bradley I’m gonna scream lol. Seriously tho, skip loves to move the goal post when it comes to LBJ. When Brady sucks ass skip likes to say “who won the game?”. LBJ wins the title and skips narrative is “no one wanted to be there” “bubble championship”, skip on something I swear
THAT IS A RIOT!!!! He literally called EVERY TEAM THAT THEY SMOKED 💨 TO GET THE TITLE!!!! I mean LITERALLY every one of the WESTERN CONFERENCE teams that lost in 5!!!! Hill air ee ous
The Clippers have 4 HOF’ers: Kawhi, PG, Russ, and the Beard. LeBron’s Lakers beat them and the 38 year old King was still the best player on the court 😂
Rob Parker really said that lebron wants to be a 6"8 kevin hart? that's just disrespectful like what kind of brain does rob parker have? sheesh i just couldn't believe he said that.. lakers just won a championship where he at now huh? rob parker u better be quiet
you GET respect when you GIVE respect LeBron response to everybody laughing at his humiliating failure after 2011 Mavs loss (lets see if LeBron GIVES respect to basketball fans) "....all those rooting for me to fail...at the end of the game they all have to go back to thier same old boring lives....while i go back to my mansion and enjoy being LeBron...." how disrespectful to every basketball fan YOU ONLY GET RESPECT WHEN YOU GIVE RESPECT why is that so hard for LeBron fans to learn?
I think the worst part is not even everyone predicting the Lakers would fail. It's the same guys saying that it was a cakewalk for the Lakers and the opposition was to weak...
They think they can just ✍️ etch a sketch what they said. 🤦🏾♂️ So glad King James proved them haters wrong. It should be a crime for any of them to speak on sports again.
I’ve got to admit being a laker fan I’ve also doubted lebron it’s not that he can’t play no more it’s just that time and age will keep up but seeing him defined aged it’s just a blessing
I knew once his season ended in April for the first time, that he’d come back with a vengeance. He even said that his season ending in April instead of June helped A LOT.
