True, and I'm willing to bet Shannon Sharpe, Stephen A, and other sports media as well. I'll go a step further. I'm willing to bet that LeBron James gets his pocket fattened from the individual contracts of Klutch Sports NBA players! The league won't check the books of Klutch being afraid of what they'll find.
I wouldn't call Reggie a coward. It is simply unacceptable for a someone doing his job to insult any player, especially superstars. He made a mistake a tried to rectify the situation.
The fact that Clutch was supposedly sending out a dirt sheet to MVP voters to pitch him as a candidate THIS year, that pretty much destroys the credibit of any comments made by Clutch clients.
@@dewanewelch1744I’ve never heard the term dirt sheet before but I’m guessing he means the memo Klutch sent out pushing LeBronze for mvp which is absolutely ridiculous. I think it was Rick Beucher who talked about the memo he got from them.
Wow I didn't know that be I can believe that because LeCon Queen Lames is the most overrated overhyped narcissist superstar the NBA's ever seen. The Queen is Klutch Sports not clutch basketball.
Reggie said the quiet part out loud. Most people feel this way, except for Lebron fans, that is. And yes....Reggie was talking about Lebron aka Lebron Blames aka Mr no accountability.
Lebron like drake fans are brainwashed trust me lebron eventually will get exposed.. if people want a cryptic message well here it is Kobe Cappie pondexter ✡
At every single game, every time LeBron touches the ball, every single person in the arena should boo him. Every single game. His ego can't handle it and they can't throw out everyone in the arena. Problem solved.
LBJ is so great that he has hate channels against him which get thousands of views a day from non-athletes & guys who don’t know anything about basketball… sounds like a GOAT to me 🤷🏼♂️
The day lebron retires the entire media will crucify him. They will realize he was never on jordans level or kobes at that. Having all these all-time records doesn't helpthe fact he's still 4-6.
@@JohnWickjrKobe took a team with a guy who is barely an all-star, Pau Gasol, to win 2 championships and one of it against the Celtics with big four and beat them. That summer, Wade went out and got Lebron and Bosh. I am not sure why is James is over Kobe. Just imagine, if Kobe went out and get Wade and Bosh. He would have 10 rings at least.
@@JohnWickjryou don't understand cause you're a kid who probably didn't even watch LeBrons first stint in Cleveland. Cause if you did you would've seen Kobe win a back to back in that timeframe while LeBron had to join a finals mvp to get his back to back done, and it's the only 1 he got 😂
But what I find kind of cowardly on Reggie’s part, beyond not saying who he was talking about on the Dan Patrick show, is that he watched LeBron during these games on TNT up close and personal, and did not criticize him for all of his antics.
@@MaximusR93 I know what you mean. It almost seemed like going out of the way to avoid criticizing him which is why this is like a 'woah' moment. I don't know... it kind of also seems like the old competitor in Reggie that he maybe was holding back couldn't take it anymore after LeBron's over the top BS (tantrums, flops, etc.) this year.
The thing about Jordan is he never had a bad performance that costs his team that series. He didn’t play so poorly that his team lost. He didn’t have a meltdown. I’m looking at Jordan’s 3-pt% when he lost to the Pistons for three straight years. 1988: 1-3 1989: 4-17 1990: 6-21 11-41 = 26.8% You can’t say, well, Bulls lost because MJ’s 3-pt% sucked. First off, that wasn’t a shot they took frequently at 5-10+ per game from one player. And I’m looking at Isiah and Aguirre’s % in 1989 and they didn’t shoot the three well either at 16.7%. Isiah was a career 29% from three. Dumars went 0% but only had 5 attempts. The year the Bulls swept the Pistons in 1991, MJ hit 3 out of 5 threes in 4 games. Do you really think that was the winning difference? A 60% from deep after 5 attempts? Surprisingly, Penny Hardaway was never a great 3-pt shooter either. Neither was Grant Hill. Penny: 31.6% Grant: 31.4% The 95-97 had the shorter line and Penny and Grant still had poor 3-pt% while MJ went up to 43% and Tim Legler had over 52% twice. Who knew Legler who was essentially a scrub in the 90s became one of the best people to ever work for ESPN? John Stockton was a career 38.4% 3-pt shooter. Came from the same draft class as Jordan. He had 6 seasons where he shot the three over 40%. Did you know in his first three seasons, he shot the three at 18.2%, 13.3%, and 17.9%? He only attempted less than 40 per season. Had a higher career 3-pt% than Kobe and LeBron but he’s considered a plumber. 🤣 With LeBron, his poor performance costs his team that 2011 championship. Let’s compare their worst string of runs…. MJ losing 3 straight to Detroit LeBron losing from 2009-2011 ^ I’ll exclude their first three years. Neither one had enough help. MJ went 1-9 in the playoffs those years getting swept twice by Boston but LeBron missed the playoffs during his first two years. MJ losing to Orlando doesn’t count because MJ still averaged 31 PPG in that series while shooting 47%. It wasn’t like LeBron’s 2007 Finals going 22 PPG, 36% FG, and 6 turnovers. And MJ only had 17 regular season games to go from minor league baseball shape to top class basketball shape. And didn’t MJ avenge Orlando in 1996 🧹? But let’s ignore that and only look at 1995, right Nick Wrong? I thought Cleveland losing to Orlando in 2009 was worse than LeBron losing in 2010. C’mon, Orlando? The Lakers handled them in 5. I can understand losing to Boston because they had 3 HoFers and already won in 2008. But Orlando? But the bigger letdown was in 2011. LeBron scored 8 points in Game 4. He went Draymond with his triple singles: 8-9-7. Heat only lost by 3. DWade lost the ball at the end. I don’t understand the MJ-LeBron comparisons? LeBron has so many flaws in his game and in his career and people just look the other way while MJ’s blemishes gets magnified and has double standards held against him. Just admit Jordan was better. LeBron has as many craters to his career as the moon. MJ never lost when a championship was on the line but he’s inferior to LeBron? 🤣 Trust me, nobody will be searching for the next LeBron. It won’t be from his sons either. He’s just a manufactured lie from the media used for clickbait. Such a shame that ESPN betrayed Jordan after he carried SportsCenter for so many years. ESPN put MJ at No. 1 back in 1999 as the greatest athlete of the 20th century. Betrayed him for this Chosen One. I wish Stuart Scott was still alive to school these Bronsexuals. Boo-yah!
Darvin was an incompetent zero of a couch, but YOU, Lebron, picked him! (Or, at least, approved him.) If you don't like your coach, share your opinion IN PRIVATE with the GM; don't wait until elimination to throw him under the bus. You know your boss, coach, teacher, etc., is bad within a month. He's such a petty man. On the one hand, he needs a sycophantic coach with no power, but on the other, he blames the coach. I think that's why he calls himself "king": he's an incompetent tyrant who blames everyone for his failures.
How was he (he being Darvin Ham) incompetent when he brought them to the Western Conference Finals his first season - knocking Steve Kerr and the Warriors out of the playoffs on the way to said WCF, and won that In Season Tournament LeBron Stans want to pretend is a 5th chip the following season? Look at the Lakers two seasons prior to Ham joining. One of those two they completely shat the bed with Howard, LeBron, Melo, AD, etc. I feel as though y’all don’t give him any credit for what he’s done for LA, because LeBron tells you not to.
You mean Darvin Ham was not allowed to do a proper coach job as he would actually bench Lebron, a liability to the Lakers team. Viewers saw Ham's Lakers winning without either Lebron or Davis (the latter is the real star of the Lakers).
I'm from Indiana. I've lost a lot of respect for Reggie since he started commentating. Lots of silly takes, or straight bias for certain guys. It's wild.
You should do a NBA media member tier list to rank the worst and best media members(if there are good ones at all) I swear Nick Wright and Kendrick Perkins should be in the worst tier
I pretty much lost all respect I had for Reggie. I’m like finally Reggie calling out LB for his team/coach blaming, but NOPE! Per usual he tucks his tail and backtracks 🙄🙄🙄 So sick of NBA media they’re all cowards
I can’t wait till the Lebum era is over. I’m so over this dude and I’m glad people are starting to call out his BS. Hope this new generation can bring some excitement back into the league.
It's all about the money for today's sportsman, LeBum isn't a sportsman more like a diva, spoilt little boy. The continual references to Lebum and disregarding Jokic and what he has done and his Teams achievements. There is no "I" in team.
@@paulrevere1479Kenny can’t coach 😂😂😂😂😂 mf points out the obvious on the big screen. There’s so many young college coaches who deserve to go to the next level like how we saw with OKC’s head coach
@@vineezyproductions9638 I’m only comparing Kenny to JJ. JJ said some of the dumbest things a former player can say out loud. If JJ can be a coach the. Kenny can be a coach. Kenny knows more about the game than him, I’m sure of that.
@@DTraiN5795 fr I like this dude and fuck with his opinions heavy but this one seems to not take into account the fact that Reggie would almost certainly lose his job because bron would throw a hissy fit
@alejandrobarrionuevo9957 I mean how many countless celebrities have you heard about going broke before? Besides you should always wanna grind and make more money to leave create generational wealth turn your new money into old money down the line
Nobody should have expected any different from Miller or any of the other media talking heads. Very few feel comfortable enough to tell the truth about this dude and wont until he retires. Maybe not even then.
I don't think Reggie is being cowardly. He was very specific in his description. I think it's likely that he was told by his management at the network that he could not directly criticize LeBron by name, so he instead made a very specific statement so there would be no doubt to whom he was referring. Otherwise, giving that much detail to identify LeBron as his target and not saying his name doesn't make sense.
He's not even top 50 and i mean that shit. Just his fake hate crime alone tells me everything i ever needed to know about James. Terrible person, average player that gets away with so many rule violations its actually unreal
All of these young/inexperienced Talking Heads are just kissing the ass of the generation that currently cares about the NBA…. But it’s abundantly obvious to the older NBA fans that they have no idea or understand the history of the players or the game
“Unfair” 😂. He wanted to cry. 😂 Funny how NR can’t handle a single comment that didn’t even actually call anybody out by name, and happens to be true, but he talks knowingly false bs about people like B.P. all day long just to be a troll.
Lebron is the living example of a self fulfilling prophecy: he wants to be loved so bad that that he is increasing more despised the more desperate he becomes.
I’m guessing he got a “talking to” after those comments…”you can’t say that about you know who and when they ask you about it, you didn’t say it.” Gotta protect the narrative around “the goat” because he’s also an activist, meant to influence the the younger generation, at least in the avenue of those who watch sports or basketball, which at any given age is a good portion of young males, and they’ve built him up in certain aspects to use him for that. Can’t be saying bad things about his character. He’s supposed to be infallible. We all who that’s not the truth but anyone paying attention also knows the “truth” is what they say it is, repeated 1,000 times a day until it becomes reality for those unfortunate enough to know any better.
Why does he have to say the players name if we know what he is talking about. Its not about being a coward. Its about him being a professional. Of course he means lebron, but calling him a coward is just dumb smh
The fact that Reggie Miller is afraid to actually mention LeBron's name is more telling than it already is. There's a reason Reggie is afraid to do it, and we all know why.
I think it's pretty telling that Reggie Miller didn't explicitly say lebrons name but nick Wright automatically assumed and tried (and failed) to defend lebron
Reggie Miller is concerned about his career in broadcasting and thought the contract was about to end after this season but found out after his comment that it next year at the earliest that NBC will start doing NBA games and backtrack his comment about LeBron in hopes of staying with TNT until the end of the contract.
@DJezdic The problem isn't "a lot of LeBronze", as the Princess's behavior leads one to believe that he's hung like a thimble. The reason why he's always in the Aardvark's throat is probably his chronic inability to finish.
