Rachel Nichols: LeBron James destroys another NBA franchise | The Jump | ESPN 

Paul pierce looked so sad when the camera cut to him after hearing Lebron tore apart the Celtics 🤣🤧

LMFAO right after Rachel brought up LeBron tossing the Celtics, Pierce looked like someone having flashbacks from Nam

Am I the only one that caught it when pippen said the best team in the east is LeBron James lol.savage

3:09 wait, Paul Pierce was sitting there the whole time.... Lol

LeThanos

*lebron has single handedly been ruining the hearts of fans of several franchises. mans eliminated the celtics in 2011,2012,2015,2017, 2018 , and the pacers 2012,2013,2014 (3x consecutively) and then 2017,2018 (2x in a row again) and now hes taken out raptors 3x in a row

LMAO...Pippen: "The best team in the east is Lebron James."

paul pierce salty after that opening presentation lol

The LeBron James Eastern Conference burial continues R.I.P Boston Toronto Atlanta Chicago Detroit Indiana Washington

When people say the east is weak. Its secretly because all the good players don't want to play against lebron. Also haters saying east was weak this year and Cavs weren't going to make the finals. Now they changed their mind since lebron is winning. It's a "cakewalk". Foh

I'm hype since Lebron didn't destroy the Nets... Our management did :(

"The Best "Team" on the east have always been Lebron James" - Scottie Pippen , 2018. Truth

Imagine if the warriors didn’t exist lmao Lebron probably would’ve had 5 rings by now

Paul Pierce looked pissed when Rachel brought up the Celtics. 😂😂

OMG, I almost died laughing when I saw Paul Pierce's face after Rachel's comments about Celtics being dismantled :DDDD

Kyle Lowry and DeRozan are taking the Vets Minimum to sign with LeBron.

A Raptor will always lose a fight to a Lebrontosaurus-Rex

I burst of laughing when she talked about the celtics and find out paul pierce sitting right next tot her.😂😂😂

"The beat team in the East.... which is Lebron" lol

LOL at the comments... How about a 73-9 team losing to Cavs when they had them at 3-1 in the finals? How about that same team who felt that they had to recruit another MVP (when they didn’t even need him cuz they were 73-9 the previous season and who had won a ring without this player) to their roster just so they can reassure and “cement” their dynasty and to officially beat LBJ. Also, they don’t have a flawless finals record! GSW vs CAVS: 2-1 and still that important fact in this statistic is still LeBron and Cavs came from 3-1 and beat the 73-9 warriors. Does nobody want to mention that?? I guess not. Mind you I’m not a GSW hater, but there’s also two sides to this so called rivalry between these two teams. Each side has valid points, but sometimes the there’s over exaggerated and delusional opinions or “facts” and it’s ridiculous! I’m not the biggest fan of KD moving to the warriors. Even though LBJ was wrong for leaving Cleveland years ago..it wasn’t like he was heading to a legit 73-9 team who already won a ring. LBJ was going to a rebuilding Miami Team who took a chance a big chance on getting bosh as well to go with DWade. It’s not like LBJ went to join the Celtics! That was the team he needed and wanted to beat to get to the finals. The warriors didn’t need KD, but they all had one goal in mind and that was to beat LBJ..and congrats to them because they did it last year. But still is that validation?? i still think the warriors would of still made it in the finals last year without Durant. That’s just me, but he’s getting his rings and accolades this way. Which is a shame, but that’s now how the NBA works. In the other hand, we have the LBJ and the Cavs issues of roster changes and discarding all the players they thought would gel together, but didn’t work out at all. I give props to LBJ for having to lead this overall young and inexperienced new guys in this playoffs. Also, they finally got their full roster back after injuries and had to jump back into the playoffs. They’re hitting a good flow right now, but every team is different. Will LBJ’s new team be enough to get past the ECF and beat the warriors? They’ll probably get passed a kyrie-less/no Hayward Boston team, but the warriors will be their toughest team of course. They might not win, but again...you never know in the finals! Let’s remember 3-1 comeback...anything can happen. I still have the Warriors winning it all though.,

Paul Pierce lmfao boy wanna cry

When Nicoles said the Celtics I thought Pierce was not on the table. It is AWKWARD

2:51 Paul nursing his wounds after Rachel brought up his Celtics teams

I dont think that firing Casey is a right decision . He tried as much as he could to win games . We should sign free agents and make some good trades in order to win

DeMar shouldn’t have been ejected for that foul

The didn't even mention the PACERS. They played lebron in the eastern conference finals way more than all those teams lol SMH

The LeBron effect is he causes teams to break up or fire the coach or causes a team like GSW to go after Durant to offset the west to beat him in the NBA Finals. He made the 2nd best player to leave his team to join a team that he nearly beat to go to the finals. I think Durant sabotaged his team to going the GSW.

Fun isn’t something one considers when balancing out the universe but this puts a smile on my face

Rachel petty asl for sneaking the Boston diss wit Paul right there 😂😂😂

😂😂Sitting here thinking How crazy it is for Rachael to be talking about dismantling the 2010 Celtics when Paul pierce is sitting right there. He never thought LeBron was better than him anyways

Lol paul is about to cry

I think Derozan should go to a team with a superstar whose better than him, so he could operate in his shadow much like Love does with the Cavaliers

Lethanos Red-inside Yellow-passing Purple-smart Green -chemistry Blue - tough Yellow-clutch

😂😂 “he supposedly the best player on the team” I love Scottie man lmfao

i just love it how instead on Cavaliers you just say LeBron, not that im against that tho but it makes me giggle everytime

Swept. Prophecy fulfilled

2:53 you’re welcome

@00:50 raps bench after lebron hits that fadeaway jus sums up this series

"We're seeing right now the best team in the east and it has always been LeBron James." - Scottie Pippen

Why do you keep bringing on Scottie? He literally admitted several different times that he DOESN'T watch games regularly. I think my grandma is available next week if you want her on the panel ESPN?

Rachel Nichols, I think the fact that people keep saying that Lebron James has destroyed this team is a huge understatement and totally inaccurate. It's the team that defeated the Raptors. Basketball is a team sport, and it just so happens that Lebron James is the leader of that team, the cavs defeated the raptors not just LBJ.

I am not sure who writes Rachel's monologues but I love them!

I like how they always slide in “Eastern Conference” lmao 😂

I hear Morgan Freeman's voice in Pip WOOOAH! HAHAHAHAHA

I remembered to come back to this vid just to see how much had changed in a year

I love Pippen...but did you catch his commentary about DeRozan accepting being benched? Pippen actually benched himself in a playoff game when he wasn't going to get the last shot.

i can listen to scottie talks all day

DeMar DeRozan should not have been ejected for that foul

This is nice, Rachel say the celtics have to break Lebron because they can't hold him anymore, and Pierce is right there

Rachel riding lbj pretty hard.

You can't give DeMar a flagrant two ejection violation for that love tap! I mean what are we doing here? He didn't closeline the guy and hurt him in any significant way except smack him across the face. That's basketball going for a block or to contest a shot. This was clearly a plot to get DeMar out of the game to open the way for LeBron to dominate. If my theory is correct look for Hortford to be in foul trouble early in this next series to open the lane for James. It's easy to see the plan.

Dwayne casey gotta go he is why lebron puts so much effort in destroying them its not lowery its not derozen or the city of toronto its cause what casey did to lebron in 2011 thats lebrons most embarassing moments in his career thanks to casey exposing lebron for some parts of his game and thats why lebron kills them every time casey has to go for them to have a chance

I don’t think LeBron dismantles the Bulls. Rose was gone the majority of those games

Yeah, but DeRozan is battling depression. That's a tough situation. He isn't a franchise player. He can be the 2nd best player on a team, but you can't put that weight on him.

The Raptors lost in their elimination game by 35! That’s so terrible.

This man goes to the west and everyone running to the east now.

lebron need that ultra instinct to win the championship.

Casey shouldn't be fired. That's unfair.

What happen champagne papi ? Every year, More life = More choke against the cavs.

leadership. scottie is a spot on..to this one

A post up fade away from behind the back board near the 3pt line isn't better than a behind the back board from 10 ft? Or because it's Larry bird it's better

Game three was honestly the most important in the series. Lowry balled especially in the fourth quarter. Might have to rename it the blind pie

So awkward, talking about blowing up the Celtics team, with Paul Pierce right beside her. Lol.

“LeBron James destroys franchise” the Raptors was picked to finish 5th in the east!! Coach Casey coached them to a franchise winning record of 59 games! The Raptors has nothing to be ashamed about!!

Paul Pierce's Tips for Kids: If your coach tells you to do something, don't listen to him. Nothing he says can possibly be right because your talent outweighs his authority.

The Detroit Bad Boys did it to Pippen's Bulls, too

Bulls would have came up on top in 2012 if it wasn't for D.Rose tearing up his ACL.

The Bulls never had a chance after Rose’s injury. There’s no telling how good they would have been

Atleast we won a championship

Its like what Kobe said about Demar when he turned down the lakers.. "if you too scared to come we dont need you.." Hes scared and not a winner even Lance Stephenson tries and gets at Lebron.. Demar needs a lil Lance in him

wheres is Detroit Piston lol? and paul pierce face doe lmao

LMAO at pierce's expression..

Scottie's voice is fucking so deep.

Nothing went wrong with the Raptors they had a great year. The Cavaliers are the better team. That doesn't mean you need to fire your coach or start training your players away when you have the number one record in the whole conference. What kind of sense does it make for a business that's profitable to become unprofitable? They selling out arenas and you think? Makes no business sense or common sense at all. That's like saying your boss your fire you because another station has a reporter it gets better ratings than you. Everybody can't be number 1.

I accepted the fact that we're probably the worst number 1 seed ever, but I'm gonna ask this were the Raptors the real number 1 seed because I read from somewhere where this dude said the 1st seed was given to us because the Celtics were injured, the Cavs couldn't get their shit together for half a season, and Sixers were still finding their groove. I'm not making an excuse at all, what I'm trying to say is standings are kinda deceiving and really just there for reference these days how far a team goes really depends on matchups sometimes. If we played Sixers in the 2nd rd instead the narrative and the future of the franchise would be different obviously (although I think Sixers could very well beat us lol)

The lovely Rachel Nichols looking exceedingly gorgeous and lovely.

Rachel made a mistake when she said Pippen and the Bulls didn't let the Knicks have a shot. Actually, they went to the Finals in 1994 when MJ retired and played baseball, but they lost the Rockets in 7. So the Ewing Knicks definitely had a crack at the title.

Blame Pie 😂😂😂

Lowry and DeRozan should pull a KD and take there talents to Cleveland

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 on gd pierce felt that 1 in his heart 😎

Trade Lowry to Denver for Jamal Murray and DeRozan to the Clippers for a 2018 first round draft pick.

Pierce face after she finished with the Boston team.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Absolutely stellar defense on Lebron's shot 0'49, just nothing you can do.

How much is Paul Pierce paid to sit there and be disrespected on television by a ESPN reporter that knows nothing about basketball? BOS took out The Cavs two out of Lebrons last three years that is why he went to MIA. Lebron said as much in press conference after they beat BOS.

scotty pippen got one of the smoothest voices in the nba

Nah it's all mental. Gotta have the right mindset but I hear Derozans having issues of his own. It's one thing to critique a pro basketball player on his craft but it's another when you kick a man while he is still down...

Lebron didn’t blow up the Bulls, Rose injuries was the main factor. A prime healthy Rose with the current Jimmy Butler might have been the team they were looking for. The reason Bulls didn’t beat Miami was because no one else could find their shot. JB would have been that guy if he developed in time.

Losing reveals something that wasn't visible when they were winning. Practically all of the talking heads had Toronto smashing Cleveland, and now rather than simply admitting that they were wrong they must assign blame

I guess this logic means spurs and Warriors own Lebron then

They are good enough to beat the cavs but Lowry and Defrozen disappear

The Raptors think they’re unlucky?! At least you haven’t had to play the Cavs first round

I wish she was the host on today show

Everyone keeps saying Lebron owns Toronto, but he really owns the east. He always beats the pacers, the celtics, the pistons the hawks pretty much any team that plays him in the east playoffs has lost to him multiple times. Thats why philly was so smart by tanking.

Rachel murdered Paul Pierce live when she brought up the Boston teams tossed by LeBron 😂😂

I knew they was defeated game 1 when they center dropped to his knees in defeat when they were bout to go to overtime. They psych themselves out in that moment

Actually it took the Pacers 7 games to beat one player LeBron James!! He was the only one playing during that series nobody else scored over 20pts!! So the Pacers really are getting to much credit! They should have swept the Cavs under those circumstances!

Wasn't this a "Game of Zones" episode?

Scottie hit the nail right on the head. The Raptors have no form of leadership on that squad. Not Derozan, Not Lowry, Not Casey, no one on that team inspires others to do better and if the roleplayers cant take inspiration from the stars, then who are they supposed to take inspiration from?

I see them just wanting to go home.

Yo Paul, It's "To whom much is given, much is expected."
