As both jokic and lebron enjoyer, I can say that with a few better execution the lakers couldve easily beaten the nuggets and probably advance to the finals. Theyre just poor down the stretch while the nuggets are so consistent and seemingly unbothered with the score at hand
@@Anyhunnidit let's be real the Lakers can win if Lebron comes off the bench. No seriously though. He needs to take a step back and let AD lead the team Even if I don't like him and enjoy seeing him fail just to expose who he is, the shortsighted pattern of everyone in this situation is concerning
It is ABSOLUTELY LeBron's fault! LeBron and AD did not outplay Murray and Jokić, they outscored them and these are two very different things. LeBron systematically playing for his stats instead of engaging the support players is precisely the reason why they underperform. Saying that it isn't LeBron's or AD's fault because they score a lot of points shows a poor understanding of basketball. Another factor is LeBron James' horrible leadership: showing disappointment and frustration through his gesture, throwing others under the bus in interviews, bailing himself out after a defeat stating that he played well, that he had a triple double... Compare this to Jokić who doesn't care about his own stats, tries to have all the players on the field engaged, never putting the blame on anyone, praising any small thing his supporting cast does. For which of these two leaders would you be more likely to give 100%? Yes, defeat is always the responsibility of the leaders of the team.
Lebron is simply not a leader or a winner. He's just a self obsessed narcissistic diva. Somehow every time lebron's team loses, it's always someone else's fault.
The self proclaimed “king” who allegedly makes everyone around him better, and always makes the correct play (despite being the all time leader in turnovers) has become the Nuggets bitch
@@catalogueboys2538 It's somoene or something else's fault, never his. Every. Single. Time. Horrible player to have on ur team, wouldn't pick LeBum over any in the current top 50 centers/forwards.
I played with an NBA player in a pickup game once. He was the LeBron compared to us all but we lost by one because he couldn't play with a team well. Antonio Daniels lol egomaniacs
I just hope this Nuggets team will stay healthy and the four core players still intact for as long as they could. Jokic, Murray, MPJ, and AG. I'm not a Nuggets fan but their style of play is beautiful to watch. Selfless basketball with no drama just straight up playing unselfish Basketball.🔥
It's not Lebron's fault. LeBron is just too old and he needs to retire. He'll never be able to beat Jokic. Not even with the refs cheating their butts off.
Master Class in basketball; One the one hand you have everything you need to know - what to do and how to do it....on the other hand, you have everything you need to know - what NOT to do and how to NOT do it.
Great videos. Not just stats. X's & O's, not just opinions, but a nice blend of both (& great graphics/film selection too). Add this to the fact that you take very strong points, and provide great evidence and support for these points, and you get these very well-made videos that are fun & engaging to watch.
It’s media made. ESPN really wants the Lakers to be great, while Nuggets are actually great. The games are close just because the Nuggets were toying with them.
Post2k is jxmyhighroller as a rookie, you deserve so much more love, just keep on going man you got dis. I WOULD FUCKING GO INSANE IF BOTH OF YALL HAD A COLLAB
Fun fact: The Lakers were the best team in the reg Season if it comes to wins in clutch games (24-9 record). But the Nuggets had the best NetRtg in clutch games in the entire league (NetRtg of +24.5)
Dude, you don’t outplay someone by simply out scoring them. Lakers played bad situational ball and give me a break with the role players not stepping up. We saw how good they could be with LeFlop off the floor.
I think in this case, you should include the amount of assists that they have the others too. Because I think that would paint a much different picture as jokics Whole point as a player is to get assists. That's what he plays for not to score the most amount of points but to open up his teammates and get them the rock so they can make points.
It wasn't Lebron s Jokic and AD vs Murray, it was AD vs Jokic and Lebron vs any small player he decided to switch for. LeBron does not go head to head with no 1st option, unless that 1st option is severely undersized.
What does it matter how close these games are? If anything, thats bad cause they been in them and only closed 1? Denver's average margin of victory is like 5 points. The Lakers were worse than average against them lmfao
MJ had to take the league from Bird and Magic but james has nothing to defend. LJ is just sticking around for his son. He's done competing for a ring anymore
Denver 'big 3' was already together in the bubble. Murray and Porter got injured and went missing for a long while, so Jokic was alone in some playoff runs. Aaron Gordon got there right after. Since the bubble Lakers blew up the team and got rid of everybody apart from Lebron and AD and brought then waived as shitload of players. Then they lose and blame these guys who just got there. The little guys are doomed on that team.
people who say ad and lebron need help from the other players are blind. Reevs, Dlo, and bench have all helped saying stupid things like that is just discrediting them and its not fair
Lebron is never gonna have a decent bench because they're not allowed to do anything except for defending and passing the ball to Bron and AD, that way, the bench will never produce anything good, look at the same guys when Lebron doesn't play, they all get assists, points and rebounds, the stats get spread more amongst the whole field, when Lebron plays, the others sacrifice their production because Lebron has to be the hero, he puts up his stats and you see the media quick to blame everybody else for not putting 30 points when in reality, you're not allowed to do it because he will trade you. Adn the thing is, Lebron cares about being the hero more than winning the game, he wants to win them the game, he doesn't want to help them win.
It's actually Davis vs Jokić and LeBron vs his coach and teammates. Not like it's LeBrons team, and he's the leader. Without Davis they're nothing. Without LeBron they're actually a better team.
Only clowns talk about championships won in the 40’s and 50’s like that shit is relevant right now. Be a man, accept the loss, shut up, and move on. LA will have more rings in the future but it’s Denver’s time now.
Laker fans cheering for Celtics after Nuggets won a ring.....NOT EVEN BASKETBALL AT THIS POINT! ITS 100% DELUSIONAL RACIST HATE! ....RIVAL? HOW ABOUT A TEAM THAT HAS MORE RINGS THAN LAKERS ....RETARDED IS BEING TOO NICE!
