Lebron is the only one who would get criticized for hitting that shot. Just unreal the hate he gets.
Stop crying. ESPN pushes all kinds of pro-LeBron BS
@@MindoftheNorthStar I'm a Raptors fan that doesn't like him at all btw
What? If it wasn’t Lebron people wouldn’t be bringing up the shot lol.
@@newrecruit100 if curry would made that shot everybody would be talking about and no one would say he was lucky
@@newrecruit100 sure ppl wouldnt talk about a buzzer beater game winner if it was someone else, idiot.
“I’m not taking anything away from him, but it was pure luck”. -SAS. If that’s not taking it away from him idk what is lol
its acknowledging that something that has happened 4 times in 73 games is not something he is likely to replicate in the actual 7 game playoffs, and if you think people arent lucky you are incredibly wrong, the most successful people are often the luckiest
If that was KD who scored Screaming A would say: “he can pull up from 30, this is what he does. He’s a sniper”. Stephen a is so biased
Facts bro, u spitting facts
Ole goat James does it again! Keep makin the haters sick bron 🚀😂
@@eldio2124 because that’s what kd do don’t act like Lebron play like kd does this in his sleep stop it LUCK
Bron: misses clutch shot
Stephen A: he doesn't have that killer/ Assassin's mentality
Bron: makes clutch shot
SAS: it was pure luck, make no mistake about it
exactly
It was luck... just shut your mouth already. It’s not criticism if it was actually lucky. He played horrible. He didn’t even take the last shot he forced it and made it. His shot against Boston Game 6 in Cleveland 2018 that was clutch because he hesitated. It was a lucky shot

”The better I get the more luck i have”
That's true. I don't recall bald headed cigar chompin' Jordan ever hitting a shot like that.
Sounds like something Efren Reyes said.
I guarantee, if Michael Jordan hit that same 3 last night, Stephen A would be saying it was all skill
Yup
no
Jordan a better shooter than bron, bron just tossed up a Hail Mary and it went in lol.
He'll be right tho
Do u think it was luck tho????
We all know had KD his that exact shot, SAS would be creaming his pants calling him an assassin
Faxxxxx 😂
But KD is a true shooter
@@adriant5541 what makes Lebron not a shooter ?
Exactly!
@@adriant5541 so just Bc you don’t consider Lebron a shooter that shot was luck lol look back at the form hand eye & form was perfectly aligned & it went STRAIGHT IN OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE NET. Cut the bs
SAS just stopped talking because max killed him and he did not have anymore arguments.
Why are you dumb
Fax Stephen a is so stupid
as usual since the very beginning of this season
Max is talking stupid. He’s been bashing Steph the majority of this season even when it’s not the topic of discussion he’ll bring up Steph and hate. Stephen A is tired of it and is done responding. Y’alll max supporters have to be incel sheep or something. Straight weirdos
@@nickjones5495 stfu Max is right we’re not comparing curry to Jordan were comparing bron there are levels to this

"Luck is when preparation meets opportunity."
has LBJ been taking and hitting logo 3s the last few seasons i believe so was that shot closer than a logo shot i believe so im wit you my guy and im not even a lebron fan like that but credit is due when credit is earned
@@nicstone3141 💯
LeBron would never take that shot, he HAD to take that shot. You don’t get it.
@@GabGotti3 And you don't get the statement. Carry on
@@GabGotti3 I mean, lebron has a bunch of these deep threes on his resume. Sure he had to because of the shot clock, but this isn’t unheard of for him
When other players make that, its a clutch shot. When Lebron makes it, its luck. Great job
Lebron never makes that shot. Not his game.
@@AnimeBeefRandoms never?
@@AnimeBeefRandoms obviously not never lol
I'd say it's a lucky shot, he's eye just got poked and he himself said that he saw 3 rings and aimed for the middle one, not to mention the time was running out, so he shot the ball as soon as he caught it.
@@brrr3301 no shot is lucky, and the shooting motion was pure like wtaf
Luck is nothing more than being prepared for an opportunity. That's luck. Period. He took the shot, he made the shot, next.....
“Luck” I can literally call every single shot taken by an NBA player a “lucky shot”
But Steph Curry makes that shot more than anybody in the NBA even LeBron James?
@@empire7179 He means any shot ever is luck because no shot is guaranteed. Even for Steph
@@mactrilogy8561 Of course not but Steph Curry is the best at making shots like that,, that's all I was saying. LeBron arguably is the best player to ever play the game, that goes without saying

No such thing as luck...its called BLESSED!!!!!
Luck is unintentional, Bron shot to score, he meant to score, that is skill. If he was trying to pass the ball and it went in, that's luck.
I hear you but SAS argument is that he had like 3 seconds left on the shot clock so he was going to shoot it regardless and everyone knew he was just like a Hail Mary
tf LOL
@@jrznat7638 he shot with his true shooting form. It wasnt a hail mary. He shot that with conviction
He said he couldn’t see it was technically luck lmao
Here’s an example you know that player that you know can’t shoot but then he hits a three your gonna call it lucky even if it was a swish
SAS doesn't have that same fire today. Kwame got him shook.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣FACTS
Exactly
Mammas Cooking got him straight 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
That's that mommas cooking.
It’s interesting how similar Skip and Stephen A. see things at times. Really shaped each other
Stephen A is just being contrarian, Skip’s whole career is made on Lebron hate.
if stephen a talked to me the way he talked to max, there would be furniture flying
IMAGINE HAVING THE SECOND MOST GAME WINNERS IN HISTORY AND BEING TOLD YOUR LAST GAME WINNER WAS PURE LUCK EVEN THO IT WAS NORMAL FORM AND NOTHING BUT NET
You have a valid point
It was luck bron didnt want to take it but kcp passed it to him lmao
Lebron never shoots that far fro the right side. Its always the left side or middle.
@@loicmburanumwe5879 lebron has multiple game winners from the right side...but he never shoots from there...it's ALWAYS the left or middle huh?
Look at % missed % made , media got you down bad 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Lebron is the Worst clutch performer in history
Stephen A in his Paul George voice:
“It was a bad shot.” 🤣
For Dame, not so much. For Lebron, it's definitely a bad shot which he only shot because he had to
Rite
I can’t believe he said this out his mouth 😵💫
Proverbs 16:24
Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
LeBron would be the only one to get criticized for making that shot. But if it were Curry, they would’ve said how great of a shooter and scorer he is
That’s cause curry has done shots like this plenty of times
@@flavioa6351 and LeBron hasn't???? Ive seen LeBron hit from deep numerous times
@@KennethOnyema but this shot was faster than his typical motion, while steph has a freakishly fast release. Lebron himself said he aimed for the middle bucket of the theee he claims he saw. Do I believe that, maybe not, but nonetheless he took a quick shot off balance. It takes skill to hit big shots, but it also takes luck often.
@@KennethOnyema no you haven t stop lying!

that's true but getting plucked in the eyes 40ft 3's I beg to differ there was some luck to it and if anyone can make a clip of LeBron hitting 10 40ft 3's in his Career post it that's all I'm saying
@@richharris7281 he practices those shots I bet. Every move you see an NBA player do has been practiced religously. Even centers who do not handle the ball do ball do ball handling workouts.
I would say lebron’s biggest weaknesses are clutch shots and FTs

I absolutely LOVE their relationship on camera! And you can tell they are best of friends off court!!!!
Can you imagine if it was Jordan who hit that shot
OMG he couldn’t even see the rim and still made it 😂😂
But when Bron does great things Stephan A try’s to make it seem less impressive. Then he always throw slick compliments like “he’s still great” to make it seem like he not hatin on the king

You can tell the tension levels are increasing as the show goes on between Max and SAS. The same energy SAS has with Max in basketball is the same energy Max needs to has when SAS talks combat sports
Max is more mature
Not even. SAS should just stop disrespecting max. This is why skip and Shannon are better because they actually respect each orher
Also that's way different max and Steven a aren't even close in combat sports but in boxing they aren't too far off
It's bad because whenever Stephen A says "this is how i know you have a lack of knowledge of basketball, i should revoke your card" it's usually after max bullied Stephen A on a basketball debate lmao dude has no self awareness. The show wouldn't be the same without him though, for what it's worth
Difference is Max is 1000 years ahead of Stephen A when it comes to combat sports while Max is still on a similar level to SAS when it comes to basketball. Max actually has the right to ego SAS in boxing but SAS doesn’t have that right when it comes to basketball.
Freethrow: "Believe me, that was just a very very very lucky shot"....lol
Someone prayers was finally answered with that shot.
If the roles were reversed and Steph Curry hit that shot SAS would be singing a different tune
Duhh because he hits that shot his sleep
are u dumb? steph literally pulled up from tgat same spot 4 minutes before bron hit that shot
Yes because Steph does that everyday and not Lebron
But I agree Lebron is the best player on the planet for sure. Just that shot was luck, cause you know he wouldn’t take it shot clock wasn’t expiring. But Steph would take that shot even with 23 seconds left in shot clock cause that’s what he does 🤷♂️
that is because steph consistently hits those shots
Everybody talking about this being a lucky shot, but when kawhi heaves a shot from the corner and bounces on the rim and goes in he’s “clutch”

I’d say that was lucky too 😂
I don’t think anyone denies that the Kawhi shot was the luckiest of lucky shots. Kawhi got the clutch label for his play throughout the entirety of that playoff run, not solely based off that shot

Lebron has made shots from farther distances than this. The guy has became a decent long range shooter these past few seasons. He'll never be as good of a long range shooter as steph, dame, trae young, etc. But let's not act like this is something that lebron has never done before. He's one of the greatest players for a reason. We've all seen that dagger shot that Kawhi made against Philadelphia last 2 seasons. That shot bounced around the rim bout 5 times until it went in but he was praised for it. Let's appreciate greatness while we have it.
“If I had a newspaper I would be reading it”🤣
‘Not knocking him, but it was lucky’ SAS sound a lot like old man Skip 🥴
All facts lol
Kinda ironic for SAS to accuse max of flip flopping and when he flip flops he "reserves the right to change his mind" 😂😂😂
Stephen A is starting to fall off, he contradicts himself so often I can’t even keep up
Stephen A rlly be savaging Max these days. ‘ I’m not listening to your drivel anymore’😂😂
Shoot its really disrespectful.
Max saying squeaker is the most unlikely thing I've heard all month
How ironic is it that LeBron hit a Curry like shot over Steph to win the game. 😂
And it's not a lucky shot, LeBron has hit a couple of deep three's in his career
A couple
@@jamesx2259
LeBron James in the clutch this season (before last night):
82 PTS
4.3 PPG
46%FG
41%3PT
+57
he's been lowkey super clutch this year and has made countless clutch 3s when healthy (e.g. OKC, pistons, hawks, cavs, grizzlies, warriors games, etc).
@@jamesx2259 ?
LeBron 27+ foot attempts by year:
2015-16: 27
2016-17: 54
2017-18: 86
2018-19: 92 (47 games)
2019-20: 128
2020-21: 97!!!!!!!!! (39 games!!!!!)
He clearly works on the shot
@@jamesx2259 if I’m not mistaken he has the most game winning 3s in playoffs history 😂
“Steph didn’t do enough to win the game” well yeah! There was 3 people guarding him 😂😂😂
exactly he had 37 points what you want him to do 😭
@@primaluniverse8089 that's what I'm trying to figure out.. even shannon said the lakers threw everything and he still scored 37..
lol did u guys make these same excuses for harden in houston? or just steph?
Y’all said he would get 60 tho, and that he’d be taking the 7th seed from them, y’all set the expectations 😂
Not the entire night. He had plenty of 1v1 matchups and open shots
How is it, as a sports commentator, that the 2nd greatest player in NBA history, a man who has lived his career in the NBA finals, who has hit clutch shot after clutch for 18 seasons, hits a long three to win the game and you call it luck??? You gotta be kidding me.
But I thought the Lakers were Stephen A’s pick to win it all??? But now all of a sudden it’s the Nets??? I thought he loved Lebron and Max hated Lebron??? These guys a clowns and everyone knows it🤡🤡🤡
Why we talking about luck ? THAT WAS A CLUTCH SHOT 😤🔥
It was a bit of both
@@liamhall6702 Yeah I agree, The shot was a prayer. But are we really surprised Lebron hit that ??? He’s been sinking half-court shots all season long. IT WAS CLUTCH
Hahahahahahhahahhahaahahahahahahhaa .
@@gogawdgo7455 Clutch and luck aren't mutually exclusive.
When you are too good at something or best you get all the hate because you are too good
the shot was literally all net.. that wasn’t luck.. it was preparation. he was born for these moments
That’s what they don’t understand, when you’re a professional and you’ve put as many hours in the gym as Lebron has you hit stuff like this
@@evandadon8604 factual statement my dude 💯
@@evandadon8604 but he doesn’t hit 3’s like that it was a bit lucky doesn’t take away from how great of a shot it was but let’s be real he doesn’t hit shots like this often once in a blue moon no amount of preparation gets you ready for a shot like this really I mean you could work on it but 9 times out of ten even a great shooter could miss this shot and Lebron isn’t a great shooter, this was definitely luck but it doesn’t take away from it. A lil luck goes a long way he got lucky last night
he literally said ''i can't see'' after he shot the ball, he just shot it and it went in anyways... muscle memory buddyy
@@Marceloedo he doesnt shoot it that much that is why people say its lucky
LAKERS: "What's our defense plan?"
COACH: "Steph Curry"
LAKERS: "How do we beat Warriors?"
COACH: "YES"
I know it pained lebron haters to see that ball go through the hoop man 😂😂. Great game tho I enjoyed it.
Molly and SAS really missed Max’s point lol
Exactly
no right now Steph beyond LeBrons level... after LeBron came to lakers hes being carried by everyone look at his llay he slow dont play D or nothing he old he was amazing in Cleveland goat prolly.... but now he old n steph better n ppl hate on steph
@@AK-vr4mm bro shut up💀💀 Lebron just can play alot more freely with great players around him. Now when lebron isnt healthy curry is the best player.but everything u just said is ridiculous i could had said the same thing about curry in 2017 and 2018
@@AK-vr4mm Cap af. Curry is doing what Bron was doing for years in Cleveland with little help except he’s not taking them to the finals.
@@AK-vr4mm LeBron being carried? Did you forget the Lakers couldn't make the playoffs without him? Did you forget without LeBron their defense and offense dropped dramatically?
The shot wasn’t luck. The luck was from the refs calling a moving screen on green, KCP’s travel going unseen and Anthony Davis tugging Steph’s arm on that inbound catch
Thank you!!!
Thank you
The refs sold so hard
Ig Lebron gotta be in the playoffs
THAT SHOT WAS LUCK JUST LIKE THE TRAVEL THEY AIN'T CALL
Anytime lebron plays the refs go blind
It’s funny you didn’t mention the flagrant foul on Bron they didn’t call on Draymnond .. but I get it you have a narrative you have to paint 👌🏾.. it was bad calls on both ends not just one sided 🤷🏾♂️
Max speaking facts as usual.
5:27 If I had a newspaper I'd be reading it 💀😂😂
