What the heck is this conversation even about? The overarching theme seems to praising team-hopping, ring-chasing, and demanding max deals. Very inspiring?
But he’s so terrible because he punched Steve Kerr, unlike LeBron who passive aggressively tweets at teammates, gets them traded behind their back and makes a failed charter school that acts as a giant tax write off.
These dudes get all dress up, putting on their coat and tie just to talk about LeBron everyday 😂😂 They out here talking about LeBron winning championship while the real championship is going on 😂make that make sense. I truly believe that these pundits are lost without a LeBron narrative😂😂
The time for Lebron winning championships is over, so it doesnt matter where he goes, stays, doesnt stay, or doesnt go. He doesnt contribute to championship basketball
Basically he has no defence and has no legs for the playoffs.. And he is unable to adapt to a different tactical scheme.. Every child can see this... Except Nick Wright and the Lebronettes... because they are being paid to say this crap !!!
Even if he wins a Championship it will not make him GOAT. Since he's no longer the best player in the league, he's not even TOP 15 in the league. So if he wins, in means he was carried by his team. Not the other way around. When Jordan was winning, he was the best player on the floor and he was the best player in the league. And during his 1st 3-peat (91-93) he was the best player of all time.
This segment from First Take was manufactured from klutch sports. They are getting ahead of any criticism and making it justifiable for lebron to get another max dea at age 40. Lebron wants to go down as the highest Paid player ever. Also if he takes it cut it makes it seem like he's not a top player in the League anymore. We know he's not, but the world doesn't. One thing I've noticed over the years is that if Skip Bayless says something, they make it seem like all of us said it smh. Skip is just one person. This is how they push their narratives and make it seem like the world is against lebron, when in reality, only one person on tv criticized him smh. Lastly, Lebron is not a max player, but he wants to be paid like one. He needs to take a pay cut. He's only worth half of what he's demanding from the Lakers, if that. At this stage of his career, he's a 3rd option at best. If he played defense and all 82 games, it would he more apparent.
These weirdo fanboys are so mentally deranged they think Klutch Sports Agency is on the production staff for Undisputed Fanatics are worse than the conspiracy wackos that believe aliens control the NBA
It's always different sets of rules for this guy. I really hope you will make a video about how Luka is held to a different standard than other NBA superstars and especially LeBron. if LeBron loses it's the team, but if Luka has one poor game by his standard he gets criticised by LeBron jock sniffer Brian Windhorst for not playing defence and for wining about calls. Isn't that the same thing he never criticises LeBron for?
The Finals aren’t even enjoyable to watch because it’s Luka and Kyrie VS. a crazy roster. Holiday and White are so good they could be 1 and 2. Instead they are 3 and 4 on Boston. Washington sucks, Jones sucks, and Gafford and Lively are being exposed by Boston as the guys who exist because of the open lob pass and little more.
Television announcers also have no problem criticizing Luka for his constant complaining to the referees. Lebron is just as bad or worse with his constant bickering at the refs and you never hear Lebron called out on it except for people like AngryOldHoops on RU-vid.
@@CWhyNot75 Exactly. They make it seem it’s only Luka doing it. As if it’s some “European thing”. At the same time a young player like ANT is screaming “Hey!”everytime he drives to the basket and it’s never called out. I just think it’s interesting why they single out one guy and put this lable on him, going as far as NBA refs telling him not to complain while people like LeBron and ANT actually get away with it. Hell, LeBron can even curse at the refs. That’s what makes it even more cringe that a guy like Klutch puppet Brian Windhorst, of all people, calls Luka out on this.
Of course he doesn't want to leave. He's getting paid a fortune to stat-pad, while being the anchor that holds back his entire team, but isn't receiving the blame he so richly deserves. They're all pretending that LeBum is the one getting screwed by his team, "He needs more help," as his entire team, along with the refs, drag him along like a corpse. Except a corpse would occasionally be on defense, and not get as many foul calls.
I wasted my time watching that first things first episode too. It just left me more confused as it kept going. Obviously Nick Wrong is gonna defend him but Chris Broussard defends him a lot and signs off with him team hopping around yet when KD does it his rings are questionable. Brou doesn’t question LeBron’s rings and supports him forming a big 3 in Miami.
Considering how they dont say who said it or even where it was said just makes me think this is all just to keep him relevant, and the bronsexuals are gonna eat it up like its fact smh.
This entire conversation is gross and was 100% fabricated just to speak about LeBron. I will use Tom Brady as an example, how many "pay cuts"did he take so the Patriots could pay people around him because he knew how good the foundation was? Also, the idea that LeBron in theory could take a 20 Million dollar pay cut and still get paid 30 million in just NBA salary is disgusting in of itself
@@Al-Rudigor true, but in a league that has a cap, one sacrifice or the other has to be made. Either you take a pay cut or the team has to skimp on debt.
@@DemonKingBadger I was responding to the OP. When they said that "could take a 20 million dollar pay cut and still get paid 30 million in just NBA salary is disgusting in of itself". That's one of those people who think athletes should shut up and dribble. Meaning that they should be grateful to make that money. My point is that they are paid what the market allows. The American way.
Hi Angry, I'm sorry you have to watch these guys, I got rid of that garbage out of my feed a while ago, and now I have to see them again because of you, that's where we're at, you know what I'm saying 🤙
You're correct, Nick Wright (The most handsome man in America) never fails to shoehorn a Lebron segment into his show. Narratives are created out of nothing.
I'm not the one in a position to trashtalk another man's looks but he looks rough. He looks like he's 15 packs of cigarettes deep and wired up on 19 cans of energydrinks. Add the hairstyle and the beard that really doesnt suit him well on top of that... You'd imagine this show also has makeup artists and stylists in the back right? 😅
@@nickhughes8179 The only exposure to these "talkshows" i get is through channels like this one so i can't remember this guy with a bald head.. looks like ive got some research to do! Perhaps he should just measure up a foam wig. :D
He's been interested in winning in LA. but has been failing. They are trying to fake a narrative Bronze hasnt been trying to win cause he's failed. Also trying to setup the protection for LeFraud in case he tries to form another superteam. 😂😂😂. And AOH youre right - theyre just trying to keep LeFraud in the news.
I mean, of course, he wants to win, but what is he willing to sacrifice for that? He wants to carried, yet get all the credit. While he plays the statpad-a-lympics
I'm sure behind closed doors Jordan just laughs at lebron like most real basketball fans do. He never needed to seek the validation and attention for his basketball career that lebron does.
I presume few watched the hickey game last night, so I will tell you the interesting statement. In Game 2, a Panther player was severely hit in the jaw. He went down, barely moving. He was there a few minutes. He gets to his feet and goes to the lockeromm for concussion protocal. Prior to last night's game, this was discussed. The leagues reviewed the hit as folks felt it was an intentional hit. The league disagreed. No suspension, no fine. One of the announcers stated, "This ain't basketball. It is the Stanley Ciup Finals. Different rules apply. It is physical."
LeChina, LeFlop, LeSuperteam, LeCoward, LeChocked, LeBLM, LeYou'reNext, LeRam [mindless ram], LeTravel, can be criticized for many things. But, right now, the only problem he has is he doesn't get to leave us alone and retire. LeChoke, LeChina, go home, go to Shanghai
IF i was LeBiden i would leave the lakers to do another super team for less money because that is who he is i dunno why ppl try and label it any other way...He cuts corners to advance himself at the cost of his team...teammates...family...fans especially...anyone who watches sports media cause that is all we hear about no matter why we are watching it! Def right about this content that you are showing ; it is happening just to keep LeBiden in the media! A championship with LJ is giving him all the credit and then no credit when things don't turn out to a chp!
Speaking of loyalty. Lebron signing the minimum for 2 years with Cleveland wouldn't be a bad move. I have faith that Garland, Mitchell, Allen, and Mobley can carry him to another Play-In.
You evidently haven't watched basketball, he started in Cleveland, an organization that was hapless when they drafted him! Post facts, not what you think may have happened!
Although I believe players can ask for all the money they can get, I do feel like if I was worth a billion dollars, and I knew my legacy as a top 10 player was dependent on rings, I would seriously think about signing for a much lower amount of money and as part of my contract I would have it written that the extra I turned down was required to be spent on role players or another star to guarantee I had a winning team around me.
People are criticizing Kevin Durant for joining the Warriors. Nobody is criticizing for KD taking a paycut or leaving OKC. If KD joins Boston nobody would've cared.
I find it shocking that people think LeBron could end up at Suns. KD already called him toxic. Only way that happens is if he signs with Lakers and somehow convince Suns to trade KD for that geezer. There is 0% chance KD will agree to play with LeBron.
The other day they actually brought up Kyrie's pre and post Lebron playoff numbers lol. Like forget how great Kyrie has been for the most part this year, let's highlight that he aint squat without Lebron! Lol
On the bright side, it looks like the era of superteams is over. The last one to win a title was the 2020 Lakers. Since then, the teams that won were built the old-fashioned way.
lol I actually responded to this tweet and I don’t watch these shows so I had no idea they brought it up. The source of the tweet is clearly a LeBron super fan account. These type of accounts only exist to praise whomever the identify in their account names. For them to spin this tweet into an entire narrative is wild bc I can guarantee the “they” or “them” in these types of tweets only exist in the heads of the person tweeting and those who share their level of fandom. There are tons of things that say LeBron doesn’t want to win. But tell me who in popular/major media has said LeBron doesn’t want to win? How many of popular media’s audience is scouring social media for random posts about LeBron. Accounts like the one in this topic are geared towards pushing narratives online and seeking out any posters who oppose their agenda. They are not tapping into mainstream media to find their material. So why would mainstream media be tapping into their accounts to find theirs. This does show how LeBron moves tho. Because Drake has a similar contingent of fan accounts that cause them to randomly appear on my timeline but I’ve never seen Drake respond to any posts made. He understands these accounts are here to promote his image and he allows them to.
Lebron doesn't want to work hard and win, he want's to have Curry and Kyrie as his PG/SG, himself as a do it all (which means he can do whatever he wants), a defensive minded guard like Jrue Holiday or a Jimmy with the hussle, AD as a PF and someone like Shaq as his center because that way it would be so much fun for him, after that, a bunch of hard working role players that lift up the slack, Lebron enjoys playing basketball that way, he wants to win but he wants to have a team good enough to win without him so he can hopp on and get all the perks of taking their credit and none of the blame because he is not the only "superstar" which he is just by name, not by performance.
Kinda off topic but it's crazy how the media is treating Luca right now. Blasting him for not playing defense and throwing temper tantrums yet when LeBron was doing the same exact thing in the playoffs they blamed the coach
It is interesting that they are even talking about this for that long. If winning is not Lebron James' top priority, he doesn't belong with any professional sports organization. Professional sports organizations make the most profit when they are winning. On top of that, the rest of the roster might want to win. In those cases, Lebron James is not an asset.
If lebron was concerned about winning, he'd average 15 points 5 rebounds and 5 assists while playing hard on defense and let other players score. Then I'd believe him.
Imagine what will happen now. The Lakers players will have to enable LeDummy, and then they'll have to enable Dummy (Bronny) when he comes off the bench, pad his stats too. They now have two anchors.
Comparing Curry situation to LeBron in this case is so myopic and stupid. Curry hasn't made a career of jumping teams and manipulating every GM into making every trade to try and win all the while making the absolute max salary. In fact Curry was one of the most underpaid players in the NBA for a few years.
Whats crazy is LeBron is a billionaire and makes more money in passive interest than a max contract. So yeah at this point, this guy cares more about accumulating wealth than winning.
This is why NBA finals has such low ratings. You have a whole league full of ballera and they dedicate all this time to tweets. And I hate cherry pickers when you play full court.
Unfortunately, it is spot on. LBJ has the most missed shots and most turnovers in the 4th qtr per game. Then when you add in that he only plays offense the majority of the game. He is the reason for a lot of losses.
This is so ridiculous I can’t even watch the whole video. Not because of AOH, but because of the substance. It’s so obvious winning is not a priority to Lebron. I just can’t stand first things first.
I e always wondered that about “top players” in the league… why not take less money to keep your team competitive? It makes sense! Why take the “Supermax” year after year if you’re WANTING to win a title? Now.. I’m not stupid enough to believe they should just take “minimums”… lol… but instead of $60 mil, take $35 mil… that’s still LIFE CHANGING money! And your team now has $25 mil to play with! Tim Duncan did it.. people talk about how LeBron, Wade and Bosh took “pay cuts” to play together.. well they each took about $8 mil less than the max… that’s not “nothing” but it’s not $15 mil each right? I mean a team wins titles… not one or 2 “supermax” players! Also, WHY would the media even suggest he move to a title contender? They know his legacy has been tarnished already due to his “LeGM” label! That’s ridiculous!
shaq tried to pad his ring count years and years after Kobe....Shaq only wanted more rings like Lebron, for all the cheap, cheat, wrong reasons..i wonder what shaq got paid his last teams and years, he was way out of shape and was crap
LeBron doesn’t want to win because he doesn’t play defense, is a poor shooter, is an awful leader, is horrible in the clutch, and won’t stop stat padding at the expense of the team. Has nothing to do with him running away like the coward he is, yet again.
If the Lakers are going to be STUPID and keep LeBronze they should only pay him for offense, 25 million, and the other $25 million should only be approved in he makes an All Defensive 1st or 2nd team.
