- The LeBron-less Lakers were handed a 109-102 loss last night to the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks. Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 47 points while Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook were held to 37 points combined. King James could reportedly return tomorrow against the Boston Celtics, which is good since the team is 3-5 since he has been out with an abdominal injury. Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe break down why the Lakers have struggled to win without LeBron.

Shannon loves using the 57 to 55 win arguement for jordan. Jordan and pippen played in the Olympics that off-season they won 57. They coasted that season. Won 57 and the title. Yes the bulls went 55 wins without him. That was because they were being called the Jordanairs and had something to prove. He never mentions before jordan came back the next year they were barely above .500 until Jordan returned. And the very next year they went from 47 wins to 72 wins. A 25 win increase. Plus every year they won the tittle besides the 92-93 season they won 61+ games and the TITLE. So no shannon is wrong again as usual when it comes to mj and lebron. And uses false narratives and noncontextualized arguments to TRY to make lebron seem greater than Jordan.
@@4th_tribe_prince Shannon Sharpe also fails to mention:
1.) The Chicago Bulls went from winning three straight titles to losing in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs without Michael Jordan.
2.) The 1993-94 Eastern Conference lost a lot of top talent besides Jordan.
Atlanta was the top seed in the East despite trading its greatest player (Dominique Wilkins) for Danny Manning after the All-Star Game break.
Cleveland got the No. 6 seed despite losing Brad Daughtery and Larry Nance to career-ending injuries.
Boston lost Reggie Lewis (death) and Kevin McHale (retirement).
Detroit lost Isiah Thomas (retirement).
Charlotte lost Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning for an extended period because of injuries.
Still no talk about Jon Gruden suing the NFL

“OK…My turn! Lebron James, still the best passer in basketball found his greatest scapegoat yet in Russell westbrick. You know it, and I know it!” - Skip, probably 😂
Can't Believe the Lakers chose Westbrick over Demar DeRozan
Spot on!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@malikwilson7387 hindsight is 20/20
OK...MY TURN😂
hahahahahahaha, bruhdda
The fact that AD made the top 75 over Dwight who took his team to the finals in 2009 is disrespectful
He had hel he had hedo and Vince Carter and jameer Nelson who was a all star that year
I agree that Dwight is the biggest snub of the top 75 but Anthony Davis for as big of a laughing stock as he’s been the last 10 months still deserves to be in.
He’s made 1st Team All NBA *4 times* in his career.
That’s more than 41 players currently on the top 75. YES 41 players.
Heres some notable players in the top 75 that *never* made 1st Team All NBA.
Nate Thurmond, Lenny Wilkens, Dave DeBusschere, Ray Allen, Robert Parish, Dennis Rodman, James Worthy, Dave Cowens, Sam Jones, Reggie Miller, Paul Pierce, Carmelo Anthony and Hal Greer
Ad is better in every way except in terms of defense (Howard is the 12th or 13th best defender ever and AD is the 17th best defender ever) and longevity.
Peak, prime, offense, and playoffs (lower sample size for AD) all go to AD tho.
@@malikwilson7387 still if AD were to retire rn he would not be as good as what Dwight did.
@@malikwilson7387 he didnt had vince carter that year
AD let THT grab more rebounds and take more shots than him. Someone needs to sit him down and tell him that this is his team to take over. He shouldn't need Russ and Bron constantly pushing him to be aggressive.
I agree with Shannon about the mentality, in the last minuets AD should demand the ball since he is the man
AD is not a leader
Lakers had long young defensive minded guys last year. Defense wines games. Look at Washington smh
THT is better than AD
THT is going to be an all-star one day. I just know it.
Giannis is by far the most perfectly built player for having unstoppable euros and layups
His hands outreach most players, his legs outpace defenders like it's nothing, his one step can sometimes be 2.5 steps from other players
In other words, what Shaq was for post ups and dunks, that is Giannis for layups. His layup is like Kareem's sky hook, noone can stop that (not unless doing a foul)
He's built like Human Cheat Code 😭😭
its not just the mindset that separates AD from Giannis. its got a lot to do with Giannis being in better shape and being much stronger.
Better shape and much stronger is the mindset
@@mamourwane4264 it’s definitely the mindset.
Kevin Durant might be the weakest built of all of them yet he is by far way better than Giannis. If anybody can stop him from driving in the paint he isn't a problem anymore. It a more to do with mindset. Ad has more weapons but plays like he's afraid to get hurt. He's scared and it's costing him his reputation and games.
@@younggun3948 kd is not that much better than Giannis bro
@@NESGTorro he might not be balling out rn but skill wise he most def is. If ad would get physical and actually try he would be better than gianis as well. If they could get a big guy on him and force him to shoot from outside the paint then he ain't dropping no where near 40 ever again. He's been lucky they have dudes 7 inches shorter than him trying to stop him.
1. Russ is an inefficient shooter and turnover machine
2. AD isn't that guy
Facts
AD only that guy when he’s playing alongside LeBron. He needs to give us that AD from NO when LeBron isn’t playing because LeBron will be 37 next month in year 19 and hopefully these mileage isn’t catching up with his body but DANG AD and Russ can’t win games without LeBron??!! ...
Facts AD plays like a diva now and not like he was in New Orleans smh man he looks like he always faking an injury and has no pep in his step
Spot on my boy!
💯
Giannis straight up destroyed AD
1 word embarrassing 😳
Giannis has the heart of a lion
Giannis is who AD was supposed to be. What he did to him last night was embarrassing and half that Laker roster needs to be traded.
Agreed!!!
Facts except for tht and melo and ad and maybe nunn🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Naw just Westbrook the team actually good it’s him that don’t fit and throwing off the chemistry AD playing way to damn soft these last two seasons it’s like he only feel confident when lebron out there
AD is a big man with point guard mentality, Giannis sweep the floor with AD last night.
Trade them where,to the taliban ???
Shannon suit and tie game never fails to impress👌🏾
AD has clearly been affected by his injuries. Doesn’t seem like he can mentally get through it at this moment in time. He’s playing very cautiously.
Man i remember me and all my friends saying how bad is AD coming to Lakers and then bubble happened for him it was perfect no injuries no nothing.
But as soon as full season started you know what's gonna happen..
To make things worse even LBJ has injuries.
Difficult stuff and others are better i think this is it Lebron is not gonna win another.
It’s also spacing. Watch the games, he’s getting doubled last second cuz lakers lack shooters. It can throw your shot off when you see another defender rushing at you in your peripheral.
AD rather wear street clothes. Leave LB out of this he is resting a fake injury he is tired & Old Tbh🤣
He Just Got Married!!! He’s on a High in Life!!! And Passion For Basketball isn’t as Important anymore!!! Unfortunately. He need to know how to SEPARATE the Two!
@@titomartinez9145 I was thinking 🤔 the same thing...Marriage has made him softer. AD let Giannis spin, jump, and probably moonwalked on his shoes last night. He's the anchor of the team, he can't let his teammates see him go down without a fight.
Giannis performance in the playoffs all the way to a title will easily tell you he's better than AD. How is this even a question?
I guess a.d didn't do the same thing the year before lol
@@Doggfather4343 fake ring
@@Doggfather4343 Lebron was there too.
@@DavidDobrikAndNatalie lol like Giannini injury ring is any better 🤣🤣 knock it off
@@DavidDobrikAndNatalie everyone knows if Brooklyn was at full strength it wouldn't even have been a series lol
Two guys (AD & Russ) that never went anywhere as solo stars can’t combine forces and win
Shocker
Right...Bron is necessary, I think Bron purposely pick betas though, he can win but not be challenged.
@@durellpowell3324 Westbrook and dwade are not betas 🤦🏾♂️👎

@@durellpowell3324 this is lowkey great comment imo. Durant had Curry which is Alpha too. Luckily, curry had an unselfish mindset.
Wade is a shell of himself after 2011. Anybody would say otherwise is denying.
Because LeBron is the PG, SF, C, QB, RB, LB, GM and coach of the team

@@kdcpo6105 and mascot
I’m a Lakers fan love AD been watching him since his Kentucky days. I was excited when we got him. But the game last night really showed that Giannis is better than AD the moment. I hope he proves me wrong but that’s just how i feel props to Giannis.
Giannis isn’t just better… it’s not even close. Giannis is on a whole different level. Better inside, better from 3, better on defense, better leader, better attitude, in better shape, etc. He outclasses AD solidly in every single way. And I say this as a lifelong Lakers fan.
Man I love how skip and Shannon can get on each other for not taking turns talking.
LMAO 😂😂😂
It's crazy that in year 19 lebron teams are still super depended on him for them to win games
Cause they don’t have an actual offense it’s just give lebron the ball and let him drive for an open shooter.
It's because of the teams he continues to build
@TheVolourn Even then offense is drive & kick with Westbrook . Point still stands . They have no real offense outside of drive & kick .
Because AD became too dependent on him ... AD need to be the best big man we know he is like sometimes you got to be that guy you was in NO... We added Russ to take a huge load off LeBron and you can’t win games with him and AD!
Lebron played 6 games this season and the lakers were 4-2, having beaten the rockets(terrible team) twice. So it's not like they were great this year with him in the lineup. This shouldnt come as surprise when he's out that they are losing games. They are not a great team even with him on the floor to begin with...
AD plays like a MOODY Teenage girl, and Giannis never needs gas or an oil change, his MOTOR is always RUNNING.
Perfect on that, I was tryna pin point it and that’s what it is
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Giannis Antento-corolla just keeps going and going 🤣🔥🔥🔥
How does a 22 year old Lebron get swept in the finals by 3 hall of famers and a hall of fame head coach 🤷♂️ Skip
@@K_D_A the East was pretty weak back then
@@DJaySplitSecond Exactly, he played TWO 41-41 teams in the PLAYOFFS that year . Lol he was basically playing the game on Rookie & in the finals it was Hall Of Fame level difficulty .
@@Murda3333He was still young with no help and, everybody he played against had NBA level talent. People act like he was playing against middle schoolers
I don't understand. Who in NBA history won against 3 MVP caliber players Tony Duncan manu . Steph Durant Klay. This dude be facing three headed monsters. And 6 times outta ten ended up in second place. Full team in the finals? O
@@RAMONE1907 “ No help “ I suppose they were the number 1 defense in the league solely because of Bron right ? That Cavs team was not complete garbage like y’all like to make it seem . The entire East was garbage whereas the West had multiple 50 win teams each year in the playoffs . Had Cleveland been a western conference team , they never would’ve sniffed a finals appearance that year . Whoever came out the west those years was winning it all .
Lebron also makes teams cash out on all assets and exhaust all options before he leaves in FA. The reason why those teams are left helpless is bc they are left with nothing w/o the ability to get a ROI
Don't forget how LeBron lead team don't have a starting caliber PG because of how much LeBron has the ball. It's damn near impossible to be competitive of you start Daniel Gibson or Mario Chalmers at point for a season
@@Jjuanpedro13 would you rather have dwade and Bosh or a mike Conley post prime type of player? Bc this is a salary cap league you can only have 3 max contracts on 1 team. Hence the reason Chalmers and Norris Cole were the point. The just needed a body on the court, nothing more nothing less
@@DeCoededSports when LeBron left and d-wade was shell of himself, Mike Conley definitely would've been the choice, mind you if LeBron is leaving you should definitely have more cap available
6:37 HOW AD MADE THE TOP 75 OF *ALLTIME* IS EXTREMELY QUESTIONABLE.
Mhm without LeBron he is nobody like Kyrie!
Yes it is
Shannon dropping one of his greatest sermons of all time: your _mindset_ is how you get ahead in life, bruh.
That is incorrect
Someone should’ve told that to young dolph and the rest of these young brothers/ millionaires dying over street credit 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Shannon: “Skip, you see what happened was, if GOAT James was there, we know this wouldn’t have been the outcome”😂😭😂
They won by 7 with Gianni's scoring 47 and no lebron.... And y'all tripping
dude this loss don’t mean nun, neither team at full strength anyway so it’s not gonna matter in the end
How to tell when Uncle Shay Shay is about to shred your already flimsy logic: He says "...Ok, lemme ask you a question....."
Lol never fails
Hey I hope everyone is having a amazing day n continuing to believe in themselves!!!
Much Love n peace
Much love and respect 🙏
It's pointless to debate with Skip. 🤦🏾♂️
Tom Brady and 🐐 James!
You mean LeShannon
Giannis just had a monstrous game that showed that nobody can match him, and all i hear is about Lakers, smh...
Yeah exactly they just casually mention that he dropped 47 on AD's head, constantly talking about how bad the Lakers are but not how good Giannis is. Let Curry, KD, or LeBron have a game like that and they'll be on their knees.
Thank you I was hoping somebody would bring it up
The disrespect 🤦♂️
True, no praise to Giannis Jesus Christ... They could make it simple and say he's the most dominant player in the league
Well in all fairness they do that for the clicks obviously but also we know what Giannis is and what he’s gonna bring on a game to game basis. AD some days looks like a better Giannis since he has the jump shot and others he looks like a backup center. There’s a bit more to talk about in that respect. I’d still wanna hear a bit more Giannis takes though
giannis is a top 24 range player all time already will be top 20 soon with his eyes set on top 15 possibly within 2 years...and top 10 within 3-4...people need to pay attention to this man
It’s like the Lakers are the only team in the NBA…..
This is the Lebron show he could be retired and still be talked about on here everyday
I stopped watching after LeBron got hurt, but THT has gotten me to watch them again. He's been great since his return.
I’m hoping he can be the next Kobe. The mentality, the drive, it’s all there. Not saying he will be Kobe. Just the next rookie superstar for the Lakers going into the future.
@@youtubewatcher4955 LOL, how TF can he be the next Kobe without an outside shot? Until THT develops a complete all around game what he is now is what he will always be.
what player does THT remind you of?
@@jeffreyhurst7231 Kobe was a bad 3pts shooter my guy
Great fan👍
People called me a salty Pelicans fan when I said AD will ultimately disappoint Laker fans. I watched him almost every dribble for 7 years. This is who he is. Arguably top 3 talent with one of the lowest motors in the league. He's not that guy. He won't be your best player if you want to win consistently. It is what it is
From a far I kind of always saw this in his game, low motor, physically gifted and talented but no drive. Dare I say... mamba mentality!
THT has replaced his bum self, the layup package, floor general and drive speak for themselves.
Literally won us a ring 😂😂😂😂😂
@@eshom9103 *LeBron won us a ring there you 😂 Where you think y'all gonna be when LeBron is done. You're seeing a sneak preview now
did he always fall down 5 times per game?
Omg , this never gets old !! I fall out of my chair when Shannon said do you want to let me talk 😂😂😂😂😂!!
When Shannon said “IN THE HISTORY OF BASKETBALL” in the beginning I already knew Skip was ready hahahahahaha
The Lakers, like most teams in the league just have to remember to pace themselves. An early sprint to get out ahead is something all fans enjoy watching. Its tricky because you can't sprint the entire 48 but the key to holding on and winning those games comes with how you balance your sprint and your pace.
“We saw him leave Miami and we saw what happened to them” didn’t they lose second round game 6?
First season LeBron left they didn't make playoffs. Following year was 2nd round. Didn't fall off dramatically like the Cavs
@@maxmateyeah Bosh diagnosed with blood clots that season.
Shannon never mentions the Bulls being the 9th seed and almost missing the playoffs that 94-95 season before Jordan came back the last 17 games.
@@BrandonBro25 That's probably because in comparison to what Lebron went to it wasn't that bad.
game 7 in 2016..but yeah without bosh but the raptors lost jonas so......they lost bosh and wade for many games in 2014-2015 and missed the playoffs but were a top 3 seed before that....
These two guys never fail! Love em’!!!!
I thought they talked about this subject yesterday.
The reason teams look bad when LBJ leaves is because THEY ARE CUSTOM FIT FOR HIM
This isn't the case. Because if that's the case he would be the highest score on the team
@Chris King so y can’t they win bro without him id wanna hear the lbj system Anthony Davis should be able to lead this team
Everytime I wake up n see the Lakers losing I legit look forward to this show after work.💯🤣🤣🤣
AD just doesn't try. He reminds me of myself, when I'm feeling lazy and there's a defender in front of me, so I just shoot. He does it over and over again, occasionally he'll cut and he's good at filling his lane on fast breaks, but if there's a defender in front of him, he just shoots every time. If he put in the effort and drove like Giannis, he'd win an MVP, but he'd rather give 50% every night. I didn't start being "lazy" and taking shots over defenders, until I injured both of my ankles, so maybe he's scared to hurt himself, so he doesn't give 100%, but either way, he's in the NBA so he needs to get over whatever it is, because 100% is what we expect.
exactly u broke it down great
That tie bruh 🔥
And they put this guy Ad over Dwight in the top 75 dude never carry his team no where.
2:15 , Giannis is 100%, objectively, indubitably, unequivocally, absolutely a better and more skilled player than AD
I'm from milwaukee and seen giannis play. He isn't a better skilled player than A.D. I can just say A.D. shoots better all around than giannis . The rest is a tie basically
@Reese B I guess so. Yall can take these more “skilled” players like AD, Kyrie, and Ben Simmons and I’ll stay with the real champions 😂

@TheVolourn how? so giannis shoots better overall than A.D. ? Lol
Man these two could literally have a comedy show together about the nba they been killing me for years😂😂
Shannon was ready to fight about that 6 losses comment . "Say it ageen" 😂
we all know lebron wouldn't be in the finals in the west in that spurs, gsw, okc era. he barely had competitio in the east. since he created that big 3 joining stars era, the best competition he had to face was the aging big 3 of the celtics.
Skip criticizes bron for getting swept by spurs but gives MJ a pass for getting swept twice by the celtics. A contradiction personified.
It wasn’t the finals
I agree but there’s some context to apply also. For example: the Bulls vs Celtics series were MJ vs 6 HOF’s where as Lebron has been swept & also beat 4-1/4-2 with equal rosters to the other team that defeated him. Lebron’s Miami rosters were stacked & they were one shot away from only winning 1 title in Lebron’s PRIME!! I agree Skip shows bias, but his assessment overall is somewhat accurate. Once MJ was on top no one ate until he retired. LBJ cannot say the same…🤷🏼♂️
@@acason4 facts.
Not in a finals Bro....get real
@@acason4 still couldn’t win a game and was swept lebron plays well and other guys just end up not
Coming through
That tie is fire Shay.
that tie and that suit on shannon is fire
This is Crazy. I watched a 22 minutes Clip and at no point did these dudes give Giannis his Roses for an astounding performance. They kept saying what AD didn't do right. What could have happened if LeBron had played. This is what is wrong with ESPN and their analysts. Only one Agenda to push. How great LeBron is, how Great AD should be, and how not so talented Giannis is. 👏 Bravo 👏 🙌 👌
6:08
11:41
When organizations allow LeBron to dictate player acquisitions to accentuate his strengths, the team flounders without him. Miami didn't do that. Riles ran that show. He ensured the pieces were in place to lessen James leaving. What he didn't foresee was Bosh's blood clots and Wade not taking a discount and bouncing. The Heat were still better prepared.
Oh yeah you better speak facts then 💯❗️
Facts & bron knows it everytime
Thank you!!!! Oh yea I’m pretty sure Bill Russell had a greater impact on winning than Lebron.
THIS!! Man you're speaking FACTS. I just love when these leTards point out how Lebron teams implode after he's gone, well OF COURSE they will because his other occupation is getting his Klutch pals great contracts. Overpaid role players and old veterans on their last legs. The GM of the bulls had the balls to go against the G.O.A.T. to do what he believed was the best for the organization and had a coach that WAS in charge. Ty Lue has gotten much better but to think he wasn't more than a YES MAN to lebron on Cleveland is ludicrous.
You Lebron haters will say anything. The first year without Lebron the Heat were a sub .500 team. The basement dweller that was the Cavaliers all of a sudden are in the finals. Kyrie Irving was an inexperienced injury prone young player with potential. Kevin Love was a good player on a team that never came close to smelling the playoffs in Minnesota. And a rookie coach. Pat Riley and that Heat front office was/is incredible. But losing Bron!? Is that why Lebron was still going to NBA finals without the Heat organization, while they were wallowing in mediocrity?
I swear Shannon rapping and Skip doin adlibs 😂😂🤣
This type of segment is one of many reasons why I love this show so much
I'm a true Lakers fan.
But we can't turn a blind eye.
AD can't lead the team.
Russ is their biggest mistake.

Whenever a third star is added to a team, it is likely that team will lose their depth/chemistry (due to the trade involving that player). Now one of those stars is absent, the team doesn’t have what takes to win games. Look at the Nets

The Lakers depth has been injured, they were missing 4 players out of the rotation since the season started. THT just got back, Wayne just got back, idk if Nunn or Ariza is back yet, and now LeBron is supposed to finally come back. They've been running 11-12 man rotations since game 1 and most of them are up there in age, specifically Melo, Bron and Dwight. They can't be playing 20+ minutes a night every game (except LeBron, but he shouldn't have to).
Nets are second in the east lol and the season is still early af wym??? Westbrook isn't a star player either, he just gets paid like one. He's easily thr worst player to get an all star appearance much less an MVP(that everyone besides westbrick fans knows should have been Hardens lol)
Shannon's spot on. Ad is weak af!!! End of discussion.
I like Shannon’s tie boy dressing sharp
Gianni’s got better he elevated his game and he is still hungry give him his respect
The were 1-2 with LeBron lol stop acting like they were dominating the league before he got hurt lmao they actually have a winning record without him lol
Idk if u actually know but ur wrong they 3-5 with no lebron and 4-2 with him do some research before saying bs please
Skip always bringing up bron finals record in every debate it don’t even have to be about basketball.
Skip is just acting like it's better to get knocked out before the finals. But most nostalgic people think it's better to lose in the first round then go to the finals.
The Same people are the ones saying doncic is not good because he can't get out of first round.
Having a losing finals record should automatically disqualify you from the top 10
@@arizonaFIREent you one of those🤦🏾♂️
Somebody’s got to make one!
Be patient
Any argument skip makes against Lebron:
“Wait a sec. Lebron has 6 losses in the finals.”
had he won in 2011 like he should of he would be 5-5 and his legacy would look better
The Lakers have Russ, AD, Melo and Dwight and still need Lebron
Yeah because Russ AD and Dwight aren’t difference makers
Skip sound like Rick Ross Adlibs in the background 🤣
Good job Shannon and skip.
Naah this didnt age well bruvv
When LeBron left Miami they were also one game away from an ECF appearance.
BS they were 37-45 stop the lies
@@damianpresha6414 yeah cuz of injuries look at them next year one game away
@@dwade9032 The very next season Pippen had the Bulls one game away from the ECF not two years later.
@@damianpresha6414 And they were about to be a first round exit 2 years later without Jordan.
@@damianpresha6414 because Bosh missed like 10 games in the 1st half and then he couldn't play the 2nd half of the season because of blood clots....and MJ just led the Bulls to 3 straight rings, they'd BETTER be good by then.
This is the same skip bayless that said AD is carrying LeBron😂 changed his tune now
When skip Faces the telly for a highlight the sarcasm starts. 😂😂
Shannon spitting nothing but facts,, BUT BUT LEBRON IS NOT THE GOAT FAR FROM IT.
Def not far from it even if you don’t think he is he’s top 3 point blank
Top 5 or 6 imo.
@@jeremytucker8853 I’m sorry but if you don’t think Lebron is AT LEAST top 3 I think your opinions on basketball are invalid and I say that respectfully
I don't know how you do it Shay, I'd of punched Skippy in the mouth by now.
It's scripted, they're playing characters for entertainment.
"You are not dominating me today!" Love Mr. Shannon Sharp
15:45 facts
Shannon earlier said when Jordan left, they were one game away from the ECF while when LeBron leaves, teams are in disarray proving Lebron's worth. I would propose that Jordan's Bull's were a team with Jordan as their x-factor while LeBron builds teams built around him and the LeBron James system. Thus you'll see a greater drop-off when one leaves the other.
Yea no
Because the team is built for LeBron, it’s no wonder he has the authority to request trades for his team. The team can’t function without him on the court and it makes him look more valuable than he really is
^
“More valuable than he really is”… your entire comment before that part contradicts that
If the entire team can’t function without him doesn’t that mean he is more valuable🤔
@@dododump3144 yeah if someone’s the gm, best player, and only way the team can win… how they can be anymore valuable
@@mooojojojo4937 the lakers system conditions the team entirely to be reliant on LeBron, as I’ve said he has the authority to pick trades..having a top level talent in AD and former MVP in Russ, coupled with a great supporting cast should not be leading to the losses that they have been having. LeBron is still a top 10 arguably top 5 player when not injured player in the league, but with the way the lakers are built and struggle without LeBron it does make him look more valuable than he really is. Which is saying a lot because he still is one heck of a valuable player on his skill level
AD wanted no part of Giannis last night
i am 75 seconds in and skip sounds like he got up out the OTHER wrong side of the bed this time.
Because Anthony Davis is the most overrated and brittle "star" in the NBA
He’s not overrated, he doesn’t have an elite mindset, atleast he doesn’t show it. When the guy does play mad and try to bully his opponents, he’s shows why he can be a top 5 player because he IS that guy. But he needs to do it more consistently.
History...
I think you can include Lebron in the brittle conversation, when was the last time he played a full season, tbh I can’t be bothered checking but I’m guessing it was awhile ago.
Remember when idiots were saying he was better than Duncan lol
@@damo5350 Lebron played just about most games most of his career but now he is older so he is going to have injuries.... Man is close to being 40.
Lebron getting credit even when he’s not playing 😅😂😂
😅😅😅😅
Ayo, Shannon snapped from 18:24 and on. 😂😂😂. I can see the veins in Unc's neck.
love it
