- LeBron James joined the Los Angeles Lakers in 2018, and won a championship with them in 2020. The LA Times said that LeBron’s contract extension will “restrict their ability to win.” Emmanuel Acho, Joy Taylor, LeSean McCoy, and Ric Bucher ask if the LeBron era in Los Angeles has been a success.

I agree 💯
Lets just call this clutch sports network
KLUTCH - stop spelling it correctly - easiest way to remember is those SOB’s and POS’s couldn’t spell CLUTCH if they tried
Last time I checked the Celtics won the ring but ever since then all this people talked about is Lebron and the Lakers.... what a clowns....
4 outta 6 LA years Lebron didn't get past the first round.
When was the last time your team won something
@@bishopharrell8022this year talk nicely to the champs you bum
But he won a championship for the lakers
But yet they got a title as a rocket fan, I would take that any day of the week and that's why I hate Laker fans
The Lakers averaged 18 wins in the 5yrs before LeBron came there. They were champs 18 Months after he got there😂
Opps first answer is stupid. Not watching
Imagine putting all their success in the Mickey ring. 😂
You’re mad😂 Name the team that’s won more championships than the Lakers since 2020
@@fearlesskingdom4051Celtics this past season
@@fearlesskingdom4051not all those championships were won in La so stop the cap
@@user-lt1fx2he5s The Celtics won 2 championships since 2020?
Most people don't count the 2020 ring as the same as other championships.
As a Lakers fan, that bubble ring DOES NOT COUNT
3:47 Umm Ric, that 2017 team didn’t have time to gel together Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, Julius Randle, Alex Caruso, Kyle Kuzma
We sold our future for a bubble ring that most players didn't want to play in. Now we are looking at the Celtics who kept there young talent and will be a force for at least the next 5 years.
Past 6 years Lakers and Nuggets have done the same thing almost:
2 WCF appearance
1 Finals Appearance
1 Championship
“Can we count the in season championship”😂😂🤫 Funny how everyone all have the same opinion🤔🤫
That shirt Joy is wearing is a success! 2 champs.
Definite success. They won a trophy in 2-3 yrs. Most teams haven’t won a trophy in decades
If it wasn't for COVID the Lakers would not have won the championship
Yeah, because no one else was in the bubble but them. 🤣 Duhhh!
@@brent-shermaneveryone wanted to leave the bubble and be with there familys duh
Nothing besides the fact they were the number one seed when lock down happened and they were also well into the season at that point so Joker wasn’t the man yet Giannis wasn’t either KD was gone from the Warriors, Boston was too young he was prime to when that championship.
@@oskinooaso the Lakers players didn’t want to be with their families also? Everyone was playing under the same circumstances “genius”.
@@jaydot4956understand that the contention around the bubble is why people don’t respect it. Harder or easier, it was under unconventional circumstances so it’s regarded as DIFFERENT.
NO THE LAKERS WAS TERRIBLE TIL ANTHONY DAVIS GOT THERE!!!
💯
😂
Who got Anthony Davis to Lakers?
And what was Anthony Davis been doing BEFORE Lakers? lol
Keep lying to your loser self, while dissing the 18 year-old $100million Prince out of High School, who has lived the hype for 20 years straight and scored Most Points in NBA History.
Tell us: who is the other $100 million Prince out of high school to NBA?
And tell us when such and expensive Prince will ever happen again?
Tell us: who is the other $100 million Prince out of high school to NBA?

Without Bron, AD would of never came To LA
How was it successful with missed playoffs, a bubble championship,1st round exits and play ins, they all capping in this conversation
How is not successful? If you told a team in the next 5 years they'll make the playoffs 4 times, the WCF 2 times, and win a championship they would be happy no matter what sport or team it was. Then you add the fact that it was a bubble championship where they were the 1 seed and had home court advantage taken away from them? Even more impressive! And the 1 time they missed the playoffs was cuz your 2 best players missed half the season? Not to mention Brons jersey sales have been top 3 every year and lakers ticket sales have been top 3 every year so the franchise has been extremely profitable with him.
@@marklumar2034you’re an idiot and you don’t know basketball. It hasn’t been a success
Name one team that’s had more success than the Lakers since 2020. Name the other teams that are top 2 in ticket sales and ratings since 2020. Name the team that’s won more championships than the Lakers since 2020. Name the team with a bigger superstar than LeBron James. You guys are delusional 😂
"Bubble Championship" take old AF!
They were the best team that year. Period.
Look at all the other teams that couldn't win a "Bubble Championship."
The West has never been more competitive and they've been bounced by the Nuggets 2 years in a row.
If you're looking for "failures" check that other team from LA.
@@marklumar2034 correction bruh when you said when they miss the playoffs, thier 2 best players...... ad wasn't even on the team yet 😂. But carry on
Im a Lakers fan, since the Showtime Lakers-- its about memories for me- Kobe died-Lebron was here for us to guide us threw it- I was depressed during the pandemic that championship lifted my spirits-he gave me the memory of being on all time leading scorer with Kareem handing him the ball in Lakers colors and we won the first in season tournament which I was happy about and it game me another happy memory, for me I will always be grateful Lebron came--because we get none of those memories without him.
LeBitch is a disgrace. He never deserved to be in a Lakers uniform
👍🏾🙂
@commonsense999 he didn't do it in front of u guys. That was in front of televised studio audience
@@sir404 so covid was his fault too huh
@@jerryren4076 yes
They won a championship with Bron. End of story. Thats success.
No it’s not
As a Kobe fan, this comment right here made me realize why LeBron is the goat because he's in his 20th season in the NBA and still have the expectations of somebody in their prime and when Kobe was in his later years we had no expectations
@@ThePulse2x you aren’t a Kobe fan stop lying bro
@@amenx Kobe is personally my goat but lately comments like yours been proven why LeBron has to be the goat because we have never had expectations of somebody later in their career to have the same expectation as somebody in their prime 😩 That's why I hate comments like yours
So what did you expect from LeBron when he got to the Lakers? Multiple championships and MVPs? 😂
Imagine Jordan or Kobe having AD for 5 years..
Shaq
You mean "AD" as in, Always Damaged? That AD you are about
Let's delude ourselves that any ONE NBA player wins without at least HEALTHY supporting cast ... to begin with.
Let's also forget that the younger Lebron took Cavaliers' scrubs to NBA Finals!
Lebron was never lucky enough to have consistently HEALTHY, quality supporting cast.
Wade had bad knee.
Kyrie had bad knee.
Kevin Love had his arm pulled out of place by a Boston brawler, which helped prevent certain defeat of Golden State.
AD has bad back.
…
yeah they would struggle with all those AD injuries
😂😂@@nirbija
Without Shaq Kobe has 2 championships in 13 years..
Shady sounds like somebody's confused grandpa
It’s got to be hard to look joy in her eyes when talking to her when them girls are out! Stay strong shady
If they didn’t over react in 2022 it would be overwhelming successful. They bounced back despite that debacle
The lakers won championships in 2009,2010,2020. The celtics won in 2008,2024.
celtics needed lebron to leave the eastern conference for them to set up....lebron than put these guys out a few times with the cavs...lol..
Don’t forget Boston has 2 championships in 40 years.. they don’t compare to the lakers
Bubble championship 😂😂
Mickey Mouse ring

Somebody still gotta win smmh
I know but it's not the same tho but I guess
@@DreAAJ so covid was his fault too?
Lebrons era in LA has been horrible
How?
Umm.... two conferences title game appearances and a title in 6 years. Umm... that's successful
@@Really-ej8jtwhen you’re the Lakers it’s championship or bust not WCF
@@Really-ej8jt that's a failure. Success is going 6-0 in the nba finals and doing it in 6 games. 666 jordan is the goat
@@user-lt1fx2he5s exactly what's wrong with him
NBA is Hollywood entertainment
This is the Lakers. Kareem & Magic brought them 5. Shaq & Kobe brought them 5. The Lakers anticipated more than 1 when they traded all those young players for LeBron & AD. Laker fans did not want the Lakers to trade a lot of those young players.
@@CJBenjamin3000 The Lakers did not trade for LeBron. He came to LA as an unrestricted free agent.
@@justesmond they had to get rid of players like Julius Randle to open up cap space.
@@CJBenjamin3000 Randle played with LeBron in Bron’s first year as a Laker. The Lakers didn’t match his restricted agent offer sheet and that’s why he left the Lakers. He wasn’t a difference maker in LA. That’s a fact.
AD is a lot better than LeBron. Unless you don't care about defense.
Lebron's defense (or lack there of) is the reason they're always a 6, 7, 8 or 9th seed.
@@garyroseborough2000 Lebron actually has better defensive rating than most of the Lakers players, but you wouldn’t know that
@@jerryren4076 how is that possible when he's complaining to the refs and/or on the floor in false pain? But you wouldn't know that!
@@jerryren4076 Defensive rating says that Jokic and Luka are great defenders. Clearly you don't know what defensive rating actually means to a player. LeBron has been a terrible defensive player. If you think the Bron is a better defender than Anthony Davis you don't know ball
@@K.A.TaylorWoodworkingif Lebron is such a horrible defender then why doesn’t anyone hunt him on defense? Even at age 40 I never seen a star player hunt Lebron on defense like they do Austin reaves.
Nobody respects the Lakers anymore. I’m calling it a failure.
That depends on your expectation.
If you wanted them to be as good as the prime Kobe or Magic years; no.
Better than what they’ve been in recent years; yes.
If you wanted that, you were delusional. They had those players during the prime of their career. They got Lebron at the very end of his career past his prime. 😊
@@NintyPrime some people are that delusional
Finally somebody with sense 🙏
Comparing his Lakers tenure to other Laker greats is crazy. All those greats were young and in their prime. Compare them by age and then see how it stacks up.
The Heat not a dynasty? They repeated and went to 4 straight finals
I was thinking that too 🤔
LEBRON IS A HALL OF FAME DAD/HUSBAND/FAMILY MAN!!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Man yall capping… he got bounced in the first or sooner 4/6 years and won 1 time…
No no. I think what you have to point out with him compared to other lakers greats is Lebron wasn’t there during his prime. He turns 40 soon. 40. He joined them after he was already slowly descending from his peak. Not while he was still there.
That bottom headline text is holding A LOT BACK 🫣 only a partial close up shot is a crime...
All three of them just did the most intense episode of eye control, knowing everyone watching on TV could tell. Salute
5 seasons, 4 playoff appearance, 1 chip, I would say yes
Lakers fans act like they got young Lebron like he still is towards the end of his prime getting older and still won yall a chip. It’s not gone be perfect every season
I would say it wasn't a complete success nor complete failure, it's just funny that the only championship they won was during a pandemic with him and AD healthy last year but the media wanted them to duck Denver. So if you think LeBron tenure as a Laker is a success than so is everyone that wins one ring for a franchise, like Jerry West, Gianni's, etc.
And that speaks to LeBron greatness because the difference is the people you're mentioning were in their prime Lebron is about to be in his 22nd season and still have those expectations that's That's why even as a Kobe fan I got to call him the goat
Besides hardcore LeBron and Lakers fans, who expected them to win a championship let alone multiple championships? How is one championship a failure? Yes it’s a championship because the league counts it as such no other opinion matters. It’s in the history books
@@twizzy6760 My point is that's all ESPN and Fox News, also some CZcams Laker Channels say that their gonna win, I'm at least realistic as a fan of a team to feel if they have a chance or not, and I would say the LeBron era as a Laker was more of a miss than hit because without the play-in you miss the play-offs and you missed the play-offs with a super team, and you can't blame Russ because he went 2yrs in a row with the Clippers that everyone clowns and who's star's are rarely available and the one championship happened due to an historic event. (Pandemic)
@@jermainegrantham588 so what’s success as a Lakers organization getting an out of prime LeBron then?
So I guess Denver and the Bucks have been a failure over the last 5 years??😂😂
Just sad how these people put other players down just to praise a overrated crybaby
@@user-oi3su7sw5n You constantly put this player down you scrub
That was the in season test run championship… foh
LeBron in the west has been less successful than his eastern run.
We been hearing them say bronny deserves to be in the league idk who listens to sport analysts anymore.
Yes. I hate lebron more than any human being you know but yes. He brought them a championship and fulfilled his duties. We all know he’s at the end of his career and he’s just filling seats now. Let’s be real. Props to him. I still hate him tho
I respect your unbiased view lol.
dude you are a simp, that bootleg chip dont count
Half a chip let's be real. If covid never hit. No way that team wins it all.
@@HockeyDudeJames2 Cry more
I respect it💯💯
Bubble ring and 5 play-in seasons. Idk. Getting all the players you want including AD.
I disagree with all 4 of them.
it is funny that ric tried to compare lebron at this late stage in his career as a laker and compare it to the other laker greats who their primes were pretty much with the lakers. even kareem had more of his prime with the lakers than lebron did.
you can't compare shaq's time with the lakers to lebron because lakers had shaq's ENTIRE PRIME
lakers got 2 years of brons prime and they won a title. 2020 was the last year lebron was in his prime, he hasn't been the same since soloman hill dove into his ankle.
Wilt wasn’t in his prime w the Lakers & they went to 4 Finals in 5 years, had the most wins in a season(69) for 24 years, have the longest winning streak, won a championship. Not to mention they lost 2 classic nail-biting Game 7 NBA Finals games. Once AD arrived in LA, the standard & expectation was to be in the Finals more often than not. They haven’t even won a WCF game let alone another Finals after the bubble.
Thank you Sir
One championship in 6 years would be great for most teams that haven’t won a championship yet, but for the Lakers it’s an embarrassment.
And what were they doing before Lebron got there? They didn’t make the playoffs in 6 years and hadn’t won a championship in 9 years. Only a spoilbrat fan base would complain about 1 championship in 6 years especially considering the fact that their star player joined the team at the end of his prime.
In what world is winning an embarrassment. If the Bulls won the 2020 chip, they would be embarrassed??? You maka no sense..
The only question i have is ...how much did it cost for that bubble ring,Joy its noy=t as hard as you say ..when you jump and choose your players
Lebron’s check went through
They had one bubble championship and haven't been competitive since then.
Shady gonna D ride hard… here we go 😂 🍿
We went from 5 straight losing seasons to making the playoffs 4/6 years and winning a championship and the 2 years we missed the playoffs Bron was hurt. At his age I'd say thats more than successful and I'll be sad when he leaves and we're back to being irrelevant.
Thank you Sir. They are classless SMDH 😁
Lakers gunna be right there again this season but it just seems like they can’t get over ownership issues
Like why didn’t the lakers get in on that demar trade and get barns ?
Get joy of the show immediately! She is just a Laker fan. What we need is a professional analyst.
Who is we speak for yourself
LBJ brought LAKERS a championship 🏀❤️🏀
Lebron hasn't done enough to be considered a Laker All time great
You can’t believe these people on TV anymore because it seems like everyone is working for Klutch Sports but winning that bubble ring does not make his time with the Lakers a success

They won it in the bubble - not even played a full season. No way that counts as much as a normal one imo
Kobe would've won more championships with this team than Lebron.
Everyone on this panel knows that that championship didn’t count
good news lakers fans....clippers didn't even get to sniff a title...and if im not mistaken...lebron and the lakers put out the clippers in the bubble...i seen lebron personally shut down kawhi leonard and paul george in like the same possession to close them out
Acho saying only 16 percent of the league has won a championship since lebrons been there…….just say he’s won and no one else who’s won has repeated. Why you tryna create a stat that is literally nothing. Only 1 team wins every year
You notice they didn't give AD any credit for the championship they said the Lakers didn't have until "Lebron" came there. 🤦🏾♂️They didn't win until AD got to the Lakers and helped Lebron win the championship. The Lakers missed the playoffs with Lebron and no AD on the team.🤷🏾♂️I never seen Lebron win a championship with him and "only" 1 other all star, or "only" 1 super star or just him by his self with great role players.🤷🏾♂️ I've seen other great players do it, why not him.
If you can tell me the playoff series Jordan won WITHOUT Pippen I might believe you? SMDH 🤫
Better still tell me the Superteam (3 HOF's on 1 team) he EVER beat in a playoff series? you get my vote LOL. 🥱
I would need a teammate that leads Jordan ALL TIME in Assists, Rebound, Blocks, 3 pointers and top 10 with Jordan in Steals. 😮
The teammate would lead Jordan ALL TIME PLAYOFFS in Assists, Rebound, Blocks, Steals and 3 pointers 🤔
I bet you won't reply haha. your type (i.e. rob parker/ skip/ rik bulsh8t) never do.
It has been, but it’s going to be a hot minute until the lakers win again.
Shady is WAYYYYY off with his opening. In the last 14 years the Lakers have two championships and the Celtics only have one. If he wants to say the last 15 then it would be 3-1 Lakers. If he says 16 then it would be 3-2 Lakers. They need to fact check thing before they blurt nonsense
It's not the lefraud era.... this is A.D.'S team... lefraud is an anchor
This Laker love is out of control.
Speaks CZcams team is slacking.. two clips of lakers content, yah coulda make that one whole clip jeeze
It is a success. The lakers were hot trash from 2011-2018. The Lakers has been in a good run since 2019
Well considering that the only teams with equal success or more success than Lebron led Lakers, in the same timeframe, are the Nuggets and Celtics then yeah. The only teams you'd have an argument for, but probably lose, is the GS Warriors and the Heat
Um, the Bucks? They've had equal success, and still have a window, albeit a shrinking one
Joy Taylor a clutch sports enthusiast? Shady was speaking facts before a week ago and now this brother moving the goalposts for the James Family
It was the hardest of championship because it was in the time of Covid in front of no one. And then went 1 - 8 to the Nuggets in the playoffs. I think the team got tired during the Covid Championship run.
No it wasn't it
What about the 2011 Mavericks?
The fact that the Lakers has being talked about each and every day since LeBron joined there is the only proof you need. The Lakers were irrelevant even in Kobe's last days besides his final game. 😅
To call a Championship in an empty gym a Success with no Fans allowed to Cheer Boo or watch is INSANE!!
And also they had 4 months to recover from being tired and injured in the regular season
The league counts it as a championship. That’s the only thing that matters

Excuses excuses excuses

Flag on the field, to much LeDick riding
Crazy, titles matter now.
Lakers were tanking to be in the bottom 3 during 2010's. They litterally had no choice but to tank. They failed to sign top FA. The reason for tanking is they did a stupid sign & trade with suns on Jul 4 2012 for Steve Nash. They gave up protected picks for a guy who was a free agent in his late 30s. If ur pick is top 3 protected & u failed to sign an all star why wouldn't you tank to keep ur pick & rebuild?
How they allowed these people on tv? This brother said the Celtics won 2 Chips in the last 14 years the Lakers 1😅
these 3 always cappin for lebumbuddybumbum
Is shady stupid the lakers have three championships in the last 14 years
He's 50 mf years old. How tf can you compare it yo other laker legacies? Unfair assessment
Lol funny how no coverage on ryan garcia saying he hate black people.but when kyrie spoke facts 4 days in a row..am checking all these talk shows...SHOUT OUT CHAMPSIDE BOXING STAY ON HIS HEAD.
The Lakers don’t make the playoffs 4 of those years if it wasn’t for the PLAY-IN BS!
Those same rookies with AD would have at least made the playoffs
How is it an successful era when the "greatest" in question has zero interest in winning, travels constantly, celebrates a circus tournament in December??
Last 14 years Celtics ain’t got 2 Shady and Lakers 1 they got same amount fool u forgot Kobe 2s and PP 1
RIDDLE ME THIS.....who is the smartest person on National Television????????????????????
No coaches wanna play for lebron…. No players/ free agents wanna play with lebron.
I can not wait till he’s retired and off this team
I like Slick but as a Laker fan It's been a disappointment. If you have the GOAT...you expect dominates and Titles.
Yes! Bron has a Championship.
Let me see. They won a championship and went to the WCF. Memphis, Kings, 76ers, Thunder, Mavs, Wolves, I can go on and on, has not done that. It was a success
NO REAL LAKER FAN THINKS LEBRONS TENURE HAS BEEN A SUCCESS.......STOP IT LOL!!!!!!
Was successful in mediocrity... I can't wait till he move on from the Lakers.. Bubbles championship
