this video is so friggin good. shout out to the lofi beat selection. "he deserves great teammates" (claps frantically)
I know right!
That lo-fi beat is lit 🔥 Kinda reminds me of Shook Ones By Mob Deep 👍🏽
anyone known name of that last beat?
J. Kyle Mann vids always lofi beat, great edits & that iconic assuring voice.
@@wikisaiyangmail The aftermath Dylan Sitts
"LeBron can score but he's at his most impactful when he's using the threat of his offense to disassemble a defense when he's passing."
Facts
A true successor of Stockton, Magic, Kidd, Tim Duncan.
This is why he is the GOAT imo
@@mrsmiw he isn't the goat, maybe of of the goats, but not THE goat, that's MJ
@@mrsmiw Facts, but especially on the best player/most complete and all-around player arguments.
@@dusk6159 assists are overrated.
The GOAT debate is over, it's J. Kyle Mann
Underrated comment right here
I would argue that Ben from Thinking Basketball!
@@DavidJCO I’m a ben Taylor patron lmao can’t complain about that pick at all
@@caseypeanuts3222 just statistical analysis is not better than Kyle mann's casual yet brilliant analysis videos
I have to say that i love Ben and Kyle, and I have a dream that one day they will be making videos together, as Ben suggested in his podcast a few months ago.
I just wanted to create drama around the GOAT, because people nowadays are overly sensitive about the GOAT debate (in my opinion it really does not matter who the GOAT of anything is. I just appreciate the greatness of the best of the best)
"the guy didn't earn the nickname Flash by wandering around in a trench coat in a city park" was low-key the best joke in this video
People love to hate on LeBron, but truth is, we'll all be missing him when he hangs up his signature Nikes.
No more guaranteed trip to the Finals, no more LeStockton + LeMalone combined, no more top brain on top of top brain, no more role players biggest shots because of him (well, the good ones like Heat Ray Allen at least, Danny Green or Kuzma would be exactly what those opponents wants in their elevationism tactic lol, and definitely 0 highlights for the fans) etc, damn...
@paseey 🧂
@paseey "solid basketball" "GS"
Nah every gen has a superstar he'll be replaced
i hope he retires soon, im sick of his drama
"AD has had some high-brow seasons." Nicely done. 16:29
:D
Never seen a player like this guy. His gravity is overwhelming. The way he controls the game and takes it over is ludicrous.
@Bob Anderson Stop it biased and ignorant casual
Shaq in 2000-2001 is the only other player I've seen completely dominate and control the game like peak LeBron. Dude is something special
Legit he's a blackhole. Theoretically, he has infinite density sucking in anything and everything. Not much you can do against him
Dusk TheHunter saying Jordan is better doesn’t make you a casual fan, you can argue it’s true. But saying Kobe is better is a joke obviously
@@dusk6159 magic, Bird, shaq, Jordan, kobe all controlled the game better
Who does the voiceover for these? These vids are some of my favorite things the Ringer puts out and I‘be always wanted to know!
J .Kyle Mann
J P So did the Ringer just buy them off or something? DimeDrop hasn’t posted in over a year.
@@Blunder03 he's mentioned briefly that while he works at the ringer theyd prefer he didn't post on the Dime Drop. He said he might go back to it eventually.
@@cuddlingpandas4115 i remember finding him when he released his Iverson episode on the zdime drop on here. Hes absolutely one of my favorite basketball content creators.
@@KingZero69 Brother, did you forget your name?
Long Live LeBron of House James, first of his name
Titles titles
Long Live the King !
My man had this queued up. Best maker of basketball videos on the internet
Lonzo and Lavar crying to sleep tonight
Maybe Lavar but not Lonzo. Lonzo is signing with Klutch don't be surprised if he is back with the Lakers.
Lavar pulled a Dan Gilbert and now he too got the payback
Hey man, this is one of the most detailed and unvarnished depiction of LBJ's greatness l have seen. People want to know the brother for leaving Cavs. What superstar would have continued working for an owner who was more concerned with cashing in than building a championship roster? And that went on for 7 years. 7 years??
look at the "making the case" episode about LBJ on Clayton Crawley's channel. The whole series actually if you haven't already. It's finger-lickin' good.
Tell that to MJ
J Mann could probably do one of these with Kwame Brown and I would totally be convinced.
this dude J. Kyle Mann is no joke. production value, music selection, quotable writing, chill delivery, everything on 10.
When you said Davis was his best teammate you actually meant Caruso right? Sorry to call you out for that miss man. It happens to everyone.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m waiting for another video to drop entitled: “Caruso over everyone.”
GOAT Debates are stupid. Appreciate this man's greatness while he's still here.
And no this is not an asterisk ring.
This 100% an asterisks ring tho. Good for Bron but 2020 a fuckin asterisks year fam. Stfu
@@RKWDBMX agreed, this one was way tougher without the homecourt advantage the Lakers played for during the regular season. That is one big asterisk that makes this championship even more impressive.
@@gotchab003 smh soooo much tougher. Great point.
@@RKWDBMX that the Lakers dominated their opponents speaks more of the brilliance of LeBron and AD than of the level of competition. Almost every team was playing great during the bubble, the Lakers were just better.
@@gotchab003 cool
Very easy to stay with the team that drafted you when that team has Kevin McHale. Or Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Or Scottie Pippen. Not really that tough a choice.
Edit: Yeah, this debate will never die.
Scottie pippen lol
The easiest one too if you don't have to anything but wait for Krause to rain Scottie Pippen, Rodman, Kukoc, Harper, Kerr and coach Phil Jackson.
Let alone the complete desert and assured hell of Cleveland.
Dominique Brown MJ never won a playoff series until Pippen got good
@@dominiquebrown2890 Scottie was a top 3 mvp in his year without Mike, and he has 9 All defensive and 8 All NBA team selections, the fuck you talking down about Pippin for?! He's top 30 all time easily.
@@dominiquebrown2890 Scottie Pippen was no joke, man.
LeBron has a nice starting lineup of All-Time Teammates
PG: Kyrie
SG: Wade
SF: LeBron
PF: Bosh/AD
C: AD/Bosh
Caruso ..
Tall ball version:
PG: Lebron
SG: wade
SF: AD
PF: K-Love
C: Bosh
I remember also hating the heatles. But as time has gone on. I'm so grateful I was able to witness it. Wade and lebron specifically were incredible together. And bosh was the perfect complement to the two.
As for lebron's best teammate. I think I agree. Lebron is playing with prime ad and with wade, it may have been the tail end of his prime at best. However, just as players, I still think prime wade is better than AD, even if there is still room to grow.
If you were a fan of early Cavs LeBron like me it felt cheap when he left to the Heat.
It was more the way he did it than the fact that he did it. The stadium tour bragging about winning 10 championships and “the decision” just seemed so unnecessary and arrogant to me. I actually like arrogant sports stars, but only if they’re like that 24/7. LeBron puts on whatever hat makes him the most money and I just don’t have a lot of respect for people like that.
Of course his best teammate is the goat himself, Alex Caruso
Alex and lebron is the best combo it shows how the chemistry he has with lebron
Both a LeBron retrospective and analysis of his best teammates. Fantastic video.
holy hell that was fast. anotehr banger from J Kyle Mann
Ya ll dont forget , Danny green is three time champion.
He don’t play like it tho lol
@@everythingbanana1237 In the Spurs series he was exactly one of the best champions/champions role players, then he went to complete trash and a ''despite Danny Green'' lol
@@dusk6159 Prime Danny green was 2012-2014 he was a borderline all star on those season. He regressed after that.
@@ennans Indeed, and especially after leaving Pop and the Spurs system I guess.

Ranking Lebron’s teammates:
1. Dwade
2. AD
3. Kyrie
not really... Dwade was the best player of them all sure(the only one that was actually competing before lebron), but so was ray allen or shaq... this is the thing, we are talking about teammates and playstyles and production... and AD is the best in those things, and time will tell if they will win more than 2.
4. Ray allen
5. Chris bosh
6. Rondo
7. Love
@@cosmos9627 Bruh don't do Love like that. Dude sacrificed so much and was still putting up 18 and 10
@@MojoBonzo I personally think it's hard to go past D Wade right now as LeBron's best ever team mate purely on the fact that they've got 2 rings together out of 4 finals appearances. Doesn't mean AD can't overtake that position in the future, but a championship is a championship and Wade has more of those with LeBron than AD right now.
@@panama1942 I agree with Panama about Love at 7. He is way overrated offensively and was not very good on the defensive end. He was a hard worker, and his real skill was rebounding, so I have to give him props for that. Love took a lot of shots, scoring a decent amount with a poor shooting percentage, especially for a big man. I was pretty happy when he got injured during the 2017 Finals, which helped Cleveland make the come back and win.
J. Kyle Mann. Man, I love this guy.
I’m so happy you made this video I was up late nights thinkin bout this
Beautiful work on this video. Excellent!
LeBron is officially AD's best teammate.
Certified facts, by the 2019 preseason opening.
Dwade ranks higher all time but AD is the first top 5 player in the league he has played with for sure
Jrue disrepect
Darius Miller
@@benjacoby4899 Lebron is AD's best teammate
My favorite Ringer videos!! This one was so good 👌
Brilliant video all around. That “high brow basketball” line was a fine sleeper.
Great voice and vid. Glad you have Ziggy a shout out!
Wow, this could be my favorite one from J Kyle Mann so far, and all of his videos are bangers.
it’s only been a season with Davis, and I’d put him second behind D. wade. Wade helped Lebron win and keep winning, IMO wade was detrimental to the metamorphosis into who he is as a player today
i think you mean instrumental but yes i agree ;)
I agree, D wade and LeBron are best friends as well, D wade ranks higher than davis rn. It could change, but most probably it wont.
It's hard to pass up a younger d Wade. Man could play both sides also whenever needed

Great video. “Hangin with Mr. Ooper” made my day
such a great video. I love the 90's vibes the background music at 8:00. amazing production !
This is my favorite basketball video of all time. Brilliant analysis, writing, clip selection and music.
*Chef's Kiss*
I’ve watched this a bunch. Fine it so calming.
really great video, nice job. i would actually want to see more videos like this about other players too
Check out dime drop by this guy..watch his scouting report on Luka Doncic
This video was great we need more!
Your voice is so smooth.. I was so relax listening to you
16:29 AD has had some high brows hahaha that is genius
I feel morally obligated to leave a comment. Hope CZcamss algorithm likes this video as much as I did.
I could not agree more with ever point you made, excellent video!!
This is phenomenal work. Again, the best to do it, J.Kyle Mann. I salute you, my brother.
Great Video Man
DWade is legendary
The best teammate Lebron ever had is Caruso, period.
That's a weird way to spell Mario Chalmers
I just found this channel today & it’s one of the best things that has happened to my life recently. this is like basketball heaven for basketball nerds. The lead up, the plot, the execution… is all well planned. Like the LeBron of CZcams basketball lol literally. Thank You
i'm only halfway in the video, but the first 7 minutes were already worth the Like. really good
This was excellent. Good work guys 🙏🏼
Great video!
Absolutely outstanding video
Please make more of this style of video
Awesome video
This is such a well-made video, like wow!
I love this guys videos. His Kobe Audacity video almost made me shed a tear. Ringer, write this man a bigger check.
what a great video man
Absolutely great video. Had me instantly subscribe. Lots of insight, and a nice overall discussion.
I love all Kyle Mann videos.
Great video 😊
Excellent video
One of the best produced and written videos by the Ringer - more of this please.
Great analysis and narration man!
This is such a great video amazing insight
A. Doromal was here October 19,2020
I feel that this video is gonna be viewed a lot in the future.
This is the best video I have seen in a while
This video is insane
High brow seasons... I like what you did there
Excellent Video! Thank you!
Great video
AMAZING VIDEO. Salute!
I’m new to The Ringer’s channel does anyone know if he has a series or something where he does videos in this style? This style is top notch.
Amazing video
Great content
these are amazing!!!!
The Anthony kiedis joke lmaooo
So agree!
This was absolutely well done, and I agree with a majority of the content. QUALITY! HEAPS!
only 0:51 in and I have to stop and say this is narrated really well! Great job...is it Kyle Mann? Good work man.
EDIT: Bro did you write and cut it as well? This is a masterpiece. Go get a raise 😂
Definitely earned The Ringer my sub! And yes I agree.
Great vid
I think it's the guy from dimedrop who now has a channel called basketball examined or thinking baasketball... I forget which one but definitely one of those 2 channels he narrates
Whatever this guy's contract with the Ringer is, he needs to renegotiate, he's worth more.
Your content is 🔥
I've already liked the video before even watching it. That's how consistently great videos this man makes.
Your voice is just.......smooth and fun.
Good one
great vid
Anybody know the background song in the first part of the vid?
4:34 GOAT J. Kyle Mann with the Zing hahaha
"Lebron has been in our basketball lives in some form since 2001" I hear J. Kyle Mann say as I, a person born in 2001, sit back with my drink after my 21st birthday
21 years of excellence, and hopefully at least a few more to come
Is there a way to only get notifications for j kyle mann videos?
The flash joke is one of the best things I ever heard
You're talking about a guy that came into the NBA fresh out of high school. He shouldered that responsibility beautifully, with tremendous grace he not only met but exceeded expectations. Made it to his first nba finals at the age of 22, and if it wasn't for a subpar organization, he maybe would have won a championship or two in his first run in Cleveland. Then he accomplished his goal and dream and won a championship at 27. He brought the Miami Heat 2 championships. Brought a championship to the Cleveland Cavaliers for the first time and fullfiled his promise. Then he opened up a school in his hometown with the promise of a college scholarship for graduates. That last one I believe is his greatest achievement. Now he is third all time in scoring....and he isn't even about scoring. Now he's going to add to it, by winning his fourth championship, his third with a different team, and bringing a championship back to the Lakers. LeBron James; the greatest of all time. I'm telling you man, appreciate this, witness this, because we won't see it again for a long time.
That can’t be understated how big expectations for Lebron coming out of High School. They said his court vision was all star level. I was doubtful even when he was selling out the Schot(Ohio States arena). He exceeded expectations by miles.
I agree. Great job.
Voices are really important in these things👌🏼
This is an incredible video!
You’ve hit the nail on the head! 100%accurate! Great work man!
I need a redo for last season and this season to!
What a great video, I can’t believe how few views it has. I’m gonna share it.
Nevermind, thought it was a small channel lool this Ringsr foh
Industrial Flight and Magic. THIS is GOLD
