When was the last time LBJ played any real defense? So yes he can score 25-30 but gives up same if not more
The media is struggling without lebron and the Lakers
True they need Bron around for life to have a topic every day
hearing Shady talk about basketball is like having lebron talk about ice skating
Stop watching then.
Boy you a FULL BLOWN CASUAL GTOH
😂😂😂 that's hilarious...and factual
He's freaking horrible along with keyshaun Johnson 😅
As opposed to random idiots on CZcams comments? I'd rather a pro athlete that played at a high level than anyone else.
Ric Bucher is the only one on set with a realistic take. I'm tired of LeBron and I think Bronny should've waited a few more years. He's not top 5 or top 10. I'm ready to celebrate young guys like Maxey, Gilgeous Alexander and Edwards. Too much young talent to keep over hyping LeBron!
Honestly, I get wanting to play with your son, but if The Lakers bring in Bronny they not serious about winning. Bronny his only being considered in the NBA is because of his dad. You got dudes that aren't even going to the NBA that are way better.
But LeCAP said bronny is better then most players in the NBA right now
Waste of a pick. Lakers need to rebuild.
They'll be fine get bronny undrafted or with there last pick, they honestly need to make a trade for another big and put AD back at 4
Thanasis is only on the team because of Giannis and no one gives af. Get over it
@@Girlmom3024 🤣🤣
Lmao I'm I the only one waiting for Acho?
Yes. He’s a clown.
Only you like jabronies🤦🏿♂️
If the Lakers picks his son, that will not end well. Bonny will get roasted 🔥🔥🔥
Every starting point guard and shooting guard who made it to 2024 NCAA tournament and NIT tournament is better than Bronny James. But he's going to get drafted over them...🤔😳🤷🏽♂️?
Mane, this 💩 is sad 😔 and pathetic
@@DaMixWizard stop dickeating and make a son that's a pro until then you just sound like a bot
It’s gonna be Lonzo but wayyyyy worst. And Lonzo could actually play
you’re whole team will get roasted
@@zanccarrdo😂😂😂 u clowns don't know basketball. Bronny has a strong bloodline. Bronny will be fine
The fact that ESPN is still talking about how the Lakers lost and not how the Nuggets won. CAN WE PLEASE MOVE ON AND TALK ABOUT THE WINNING TEAM AND THE NEXT SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate that , you got young teams up and coming stars and theyre so focused on the old guard. They home now move on.
@@iamsamfortunebrg8772HELL YEAH!!! You got up and coming stars like ant man, sga , Luka, joker and many many more but they choose to keep talking about these old men like lebron, KD and Steph
Nope! Gotta keep talking about a team that's been eliminated. Same way no matter what we always gotta hear about the Cowboys. It's like there are only a handful of teams to talk about in every sport.
Funny watching these football dudes struggle through this segment 😂
Most of these sports personalities are former pro football players even when they're speaking on
other sports/players. Make it make sense to me also.
And Joy is not much better
It's hard to lie ask Shay Shay
If you playing with your son in the NBA, it's time to retire.If you are Laker Fan, why draft Bronny with ZERO Impact in the NCAA to the Lakers. Laker Fans want Championships not Lebrons Bucket List! 😂
So what? Every team fan wants a championship
Not like they’d be taking him in the lottery, “burning” the 55th pick isn’t an indictment of anything
@@Joshualevibrown Championship for who? The Team or the Player?
Can’t be as bad as the bucks having Giannis’s brother on the team. Just think of it as having a 9 man roster instead of 10. 💀
@Rehkew brah Bronny was putting up JCO numbers in the NCAA. It's worst and he is under size..
shady's takes are equivalent to a 1st grade child telling you the sky is blue
He a football player ... Doesn't know NBA
Yeah sometimes
Then maybe it should be you sitting up there but that’s not gonna happen because you’re a bum living in mamas basement
@@rcbrown22 this is his job know, he should be studying and learning to do better.
Correct
Ric is the only one on this panel wit some sense Real sports analyst!!!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Stop
Except when he said lebron was top 10 this year💯😭he’s not better than fox Brunson Steph KD kwahi shai luka embid Tatum Jokic AD brown Maxey Giannis 💯let’s be real he’s just out there getting his numbers
@@Dipset415 You must be delusional
@@Dipset415ok genius take his numbers away from the Lakers where would they be who are you going to depend dlo rui reeves.
No. LJ doesn’t have to retire bc he’s not the clear cut mvp or a top 10 player. His team should be competitive.
They're essentially saying that Lebron is bigger than the game and is the only player in NBA history that doesn't have to play to win.
This era can end fast enough.
Lebron been a ring chaser. They change the narrative all the time.
What is a ring chaser? Define that first, and then make sure LeBron’s name fits your description. Casual.
@@zingisamahlaselaA person who switches teams consistently over his career in hopes of having a better chance at winning a championship. Lebron literally fits this description…
@@fyilando854 Now, since LeBron came into the league, he’s played for 3 teams. ‘03 - ‘10 Cavs; ‘10 - 14 Heat; ‘14 - ‘18 Cavs; ‘18 - present Lakers. Where is the right chasing there? Is he joining teams that are already successful? Or teams that are irrelevant or can no longer get past the 1st round of the playoffs in the case of the Heat in 2010. The hate in your heart for the man is rife. And I’m not even the biggest LeBron fan. But if you don’t know what a ring chaser is, don’t use the term.
@@zingisamahlasela Heat were already successful, Dwade literally won them a chip while Lebron was playing, Lakers were successful they literally won 2 chips while Lebron was playing only team that was trash was Cleveland …
@@zingisamahlaselahe leaves when the team stops being competitive
You guys love lebron so much that you're getting crazy
Ur a idiot the numbers show you don't know ball
there goes s-s-s-s-s-stuttering Shady again.
Glad to see James back on the show. You were missed bro!
Not a Lebron fan or a fan of any of the teams in about to mention. Lebron is going to the East, he wants to win and the west is a bloodbath. The East is easy, that’s how he went to the finals 8 straight years I believe. He’s either going to 1) Knicks or 2) Sixers, or 3) Cavs. A championship with a fourth organization would be used for his goat argument, though I disagree with it. Knicks might be able to trade for AD, this summer and if Brunson doesn’t work, they’ll trade him for Kyrie.
Now no one really believed the Lakers were going to the finals .. oh ok
Lmfaooo right😂 and they started show sayin nothing is LeBron‘s fault it was all out of his control just crazy stuff 😮😅
Ikr😭😭
You play to win chips not participating Trophies 🤔
Not everyone wins - and some go through their entire career and never win a title
lakers future so bright if they draft bronny jnr 💀💀🤣
@@Officiallyjaystick if your gonna compare Lebronda James to the GOAT MJ ....then Chips matter
@@jca9417 yeah that's why I have Bill Russell as my goat. Everyone can say what they want but my guy has 11 rings.
Lakers cannot draft or sign Bronny. No nba gm would waste a pick or roster spot on a below average collegiate player. Don't do it Rob and Jeanie!
In most cases that's true. But LeBrun is holding them hostage until after the draft. His power play is for one reason. He knows his son stinks but he doesn't care.
Lebron doesn't care about his son anymore. He wants more rings.
Ric is acting like LeBron is a bad basketball player. SMH. The HATE is.........real.
123 Galveston 😅😂
Kd ain’t a two way player either but they refuse to say that
Mission accomplished. Has taken the focus off the Nuggets win, the playoffs, and made it completely about him and his son. 😂😂😂
I’m not gonna lie since lebron got put out the playoffs it’s boring I’m not a 100% basketball ball fan I can’t just watch 2 teams play … lebron James is entertaining af on/off the court his lifestyle and his kids come on now did y’all forget he is a billionaire too plus he sell tickets and give what ever team he play for cable deals
@@christophermallory8741so that means you don’t watch basketball for basketball then. You only watch for twitter social justice bs and what makes you feel woke because that’s all Lebron is known for outside of basketball clown
@@christophermallory8741You're stupid then.
@@christophermallory8741So you’re going to get butts in seats, stats and dunk but no winning games or championships? Got it 👍
Yep...he pays them to talk about him lol
The GLAZING by shady is shameless...
Too true!
Shady is the worse, when he speaks it’s like NAILS ON A CHALKBOARD
Agreed 💯
Him and Keyshon 😄
@@brianhardy612 omg yes him too ugh
I’m a Kobe fan but real talk none of the greats was playing this good this late in their career
We'll see. If the rumors of PED's are verified, then, all of his accomplishments (including the Hall-of Fame) are in jeopardy. Besides, he's not playing at an elite level anymore, especially on defense. And no, he's not even the Lakers best player.
@@Fernando-vg4ym How long should we wait for it to be verified?
Yeah, they did. Kareem was MVP of the Finals at age 38 for heaven's sake!
@@jeremywilliams8559 Realistically, I don't see anything happening till after he retires. Adam Silver has put too much stock on him until then. What I don't understand is his fanbase. What do they see in him? He's a narcissist who only cares about himself. He's a liar, a flopper, a complainer, a quitter, a stat chaser, title chaser who constantly throws his teammates, coaches and organizations under the bus. Plus, he's one of the biggest racists in sports. Other than that, I have nothing against him.
@@jeromemaida4933 It's so typical for his fanboys and the highly biased media to ignore the truth.
Slick is spittin facts!
11:51 Rick tripping , if Lebron played like trash , yes but he is playing at a high level. 12:31 come on Rick everyone has moments.
He's playing at a high level on offense, not defense.
Don't understand how folks are not seeing Bron saying enjoy the playoffs.
Ole Ric is doing his audition for being the next Skip by dissecting and nitpicking the lowlights of a 39 year old that has no business playing even remotely close the level he’s playing at.
💉💉
Joy made it sound so depressing. She’s ok with LeBron just making the playoffs and having decent numbers. It’s what he’s been doing lol. But she makes it sound so sad
..at Cleveland with his son is legendary. Forget about media but not the greatness career in basketball
D Lo and Rui need to go and the Lakers should completely change their bench. Outside of Prince none of the other bench players did a single thing in the Nuggets series.
Here we go another summer of dissecting another man’s emotions through a website….. media is a shame
Ric makes the most sense on this topic. The 3 others are just delusional. Scared to hurt Lebrons feelings.
Ric Bucher taking these talking heads to school. I like James Jones, but these 3 pundits should leave basketball commentary to people who actually know basketball.
"We're gonna enjoy father and son playing together" What the... what kind of fans are you there in America? You've taken the phrase family sport to a whole new dimension
Ric is the voice of reason in this show
He is the voice of people who have hate in their hearts.
When MJ retired finally, he wasn't top 50, Kobe wasn't top 25 or Magic wasn't top 50... There's no ignominy in fading away gracefully...
TOP Seven: Jokic, SGA, Luka, Ant, Tatum, Giannis, Embid
Whose next: Steph, AD, LBJ, Brunson, Booker, KD?
Basically Ric Bucher is saying that Bron should just retire?? Sounds like it…
Rick actually is right this time . 💯
Stat padding looks like that
They want lebum to play till he is 50.
Like brady it will be he can still play.
Then there will be lebum the owner,player,coach and GM.
He’ll prolly be just starting his menopause by then , time to have a sit down
For all who saying LBJS aint the goat why you here? There was playoff games last night so if you aint on the heads for this topic instead of that. He is the goat just accept it bc you cant live with out and your comments prove it your constantly engagement has proven it.
No GOAT gets swept in the WCF and gentleman swept in the first round with a top 75 player
Lebron needed 2 other stars to win titles. That is fact. Hes top 110, have him 6-7
@christiannieto9827 who doesn't need 2 other stars with them to win titles? You think Murray Gordon and porter won't be hall fame at the end of day. Bc any body can be all star Vin baker was allstar
@otisthomas9976 i said stars, not all stars. Even then, not many ppl needed 2 other all stars in order to win a title. Lebron needed 2 other franchise players (Wade + Bosh & Kyrie + Love) in order to win. And even then with 2 other stars he still lost more than he win 🤣
New drinking game take a shot every time they say HIGH LEVEL😂☠️
He lost to the nuggets not and low seed that's the crazy part.. he was on the lesser team
Exactly ‼️ The Defending Champions whom they lost to last year in the conference final. LeBron has people so spoiled that he has to go to the finals every year. Then they always bring Jordan into play but he only went 3 years missed 2 then went 3 again. Then he never appeared in the finals again
@@kerwinross2361 i say all the time I was born in the 80s MJ was that guy.. we was enamored by him.. when I was 19 I seen a article about a kid MJ said could play in the league now as a sophomore.. low and behold that kid has exceeded all that was thought he could do.. the man has made every team he plays on a potential conference finals team
@@kerwinross2361that's because Jerry Krause broke up the Bulls or Michael would have won a couple more. Also.....he never lost a finals 6 - 0. LeBron can't say that.
Refreshing to see someone stating facts about where Bron is in his career. Still puts up stats, but no longer impacts winning as he used to. Doesn’t play defense, always near the top of the list in turnovers, and constantly renovates his teams because he “doesn’t have enough help” or the coaching is bad. It’s always “who can we get for Bron to win a championship with”, not building a team/coach consistency. New coach every few years, new team overhaul every year; that’s why the teams like OKC, Sacramento, Boston, etc. are the top teams moving forward.
If LeBron wants another chip he has to leave LA because the West will be tough Mountain to climb 🤔
He's not good enough at this stage to carry a team... and he isn't skilled (or humble)enough to be a role player for a team that has genuine championship quality.
He could do the "super team up" with KD and Steph... but that team would implode in a comical fashion
LeBron to GSW😂
As a LBJ fan, I'm not a FAN BOY, HIS days are over in LA winning rings, rumors are should he go to New York, but I'm seeing NY fans online saying they don't want him 😅😂😂
Dallas is also there!
I normally like Rick's takes, but that was really unintelligent to say LeBron has always been the guy who has other people join HIM for a championship team. He went to Dwayne Wade. The only time he really got an "elite" guy to join him was Anthony Davis.
They should have kept the team the won the championship with. That team had chemistry. The only change i would make was to get AR.
Joy's take is ridiculous. "If LBJ continues to score more doesnt that add to his legacy?"
If LeBron is going to stay a laker, then I only want Bob Myers as the general manager with full autonomy
If you not playing for championships then wtf are you playing for? Oh that's right, stat padding! This is stupid. The new narrative is it aint about going to the finals. Its about the In season wins. 😂😂😂
Why did you click on this to provide a "hate" comment
@@Officiallyjaystick it's a truth comment
Jordan as a wizard was not falling off
Lebron is so shady. Anytime he loses, he doesn't know his future but if he wins he's happy to stay. What a legend!
If Bronny plays with his dad it will show the Lakers and the NBA is a farce. Bronny just ain’t good enough to be in the NBA yet that has just been swept under the carpet. Ken Griffey played with his dad but Griffey jr was an all time great. Bronny is not and will not be on that level.
Should tell you how manufactured lebrons entire career has been 💯
@@Dipset415 now that’s a stretch
Manufactured career? 😂😂😂
LeBron should stay with the Lakers but if I'm the Lakers I would not have him stay if it's contingent on them wasting a draft pick on a sub par player (based on what we saw in college) just so he can play with his son but in no way be able to better the whole team.
Now I hope someone drafts Bronny too high elsewhere to not let them pair up lol
He should finish with the Guangdong Southern Tigers
I’m tired of them saying nobody can match up with the nuggets they act like this team is unbeatable like wtf
Did he say Lebron has always been the guy of guys joining him to chase the ring? 😂😂😂 I needed a good laugh
So LeBron was there cussing the Lakers for not giving him enough help and you expect the same Lakers to bring in Bronny who is clearly not ready for the NBA.
Crazy thing is if Bron would’ve gone to Philly in 2017…it would’ve been Jimmy Butler, Embiid, Ben Simmons and LeBron🤣That’s 2 rings minimum possibly 4 rings max. What are we talking about here? Bron is still a top 10 player. Go to Philly! Win another Ring for a 4th team and keep building upon an already legendary legacy💯
5 years after Lebron is gone he will still lead the segment. There's still teams playing as we speak.
probably. I really think people are going to miss him when he's gone. When Steph and Kd gone too. I'm sure alot of people are going to stop watching the league
@AnonymousUser-ss2qr
I'm sure Bron will be missed. I will definitely miss him honestly. But we've seen this before. When Magic, Bird and Isaiah left we had Jordan. When Jordan left we had Kobe, Shaq, Yao, Iverson, Vince and Tmac, Dirk,Kg, Pierce. When they left we had Bron, Melo Wade, Kd and Steph, James, Russ, Khawi and Kyrie. When they leave, we will have Luka,Wemby, Antman, Tatum,Bronny, Haliburton, Giannis, Booker, plus many more. It always feels like the game will never be the same, but it always keeps getting better. A new era goat will emerge
Buek is my new guy because he is honest
4 ppl at the desk…1 makes sense
If playing with his son is all he wants ! .... LeBron needs to go to a team capeable of drafting his son, but also a team who will keep the kid afterwards. Even after LeBron is gone !
I dont see LeBron playing for more then 1-2 years ... (1 is 98,9% in my mind(we had a debate :) ))
Nobody is keeping his son after he retires. His son isn't even in the top 100 in college.
If not for Denver hitting two game winning shots, this series would've been tied 3 to 3 going into a game 7. Am not sure what Ric Bucher is looking at when he watched the Lakers, but they don't need a 3rd star they just need a better consisted 3rd option than D-low. The games were close, it's not like Denver is running the Lakers off the court. Bucher would admit that Denver has the better overall roster/team and yet the Lakers are hanging in there with them. The Lakers just need a few right pieces and for everyone to be healthy.
Beuker THANK YOU for telling the truth 👍🏾
Why are we talking Lakers now?.....
Running out of topics..
Lebron the 🐐 all I can think
Cause it sales and brings in views
America's team. Get over it
@@chrisanderson2056YES SIRRRRRR
Since when is scoring points playing at a high level when you are a ghost on defense?
Lakers just got gentlemen swept in the first round and we still talking about last year's WCF, where they got SWEPT.
He should stay until his numbers are above 18 ppg - 6 rpg - 6 apg
LeBron since coming to LA has been in his coaching up his teammates. He got th3 championship, great but hes more about helping his teammates become better.
LeBron practically raised the question and now he acts as if the media should just stop asking and leave him alone. That's what he always does. He loves this circus around him. Last year everyone knew he'd play at least one more season but he acted as if he could actually retire.
Lukas and Kyrie wants LeBron with the mavericks 😊😊😊😊
LeNeedsHelp should make another LeSuperteam
yall the best show on fs1 rn
1. You are dishonest to the franchise if you are not playing for the championship.
2. Fans are not paying for tickets to see their team swept year after year. Remember they even booed Magic.
3. He is playing at high level but not what he used to he and it will be a less every year. So, when should he retire when he is tanking?
4. All siad, it is his decision even if he wants to play until he is 70.
😂😂😂😂 listen to this dude: I didnt need to see MJ,and all those other players,which superstar ever retired at a high level. This dude different....
They talk about this dude too much. He's lost 8 or his last 9 playoff games. Let him.. leave him be
The LA Lakers are not serious about winning a championship if Bronny is drafted. Meanwhile, Boston is looking at an 18th championship.
Looking!!! They been browsing pretty good... Let me know when they buy something...
LeBron will be a 76er. Come back to this.
😂
Why players always saying that media trained cheesy stuff like we ain’t all human.. we always know what we going to do b4 we do it.. lebron knew what was he was gonna do and how he gonna play it as soon as the last Denver game was over and he was on the court hugging players saying good game 😂 trust bron knows if he staying or leaving already he just stalling 😂😂 🐐
God bless that guy farthest to the right... his take at 10:50 is something nobody really ever mentions
As for Lebron, don’t do Wizards Jordan! Go out while you can still play a little bit! The title runs are over!
It’s funny when they say stay in LA and take a 168 million for 3 years and complain about him having no help. How bout pull a d-wade and take 30 million for 3 years and use the rest of that money for other players to help him if winning a championship is that important.
Denver won 4-1😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Let's talk about the upcoming series between Denver and Minnesota.
Slick is a bootleg version of skip when it comes to the level of hate on LBJ
I need to see Joy in more orange. Radiant!
So the only player who wants to play for a championship is Lebron? So Ad and the other Laker players should not want to play for a championship?
We need real journalist back like ric. These sports shows dont hire real journalist anymore so we have to always hear lebum worshipping
LeBron should stay as long as he wants
It's about championships not padding stats Patty stacks Y'all talking about his status but he's not playing defense That's got to count
Idea for new FS1 panel show. Unc aka Shannon, Jenny Taft moderator and contributing panelist, and Max Kellerman. What y’all think? 🤔
Max heck nah
It would be a better show than a lot of stuff that's already on presently.
I'm good on having superfluous women there just for optics... Sharpe & Kellerman would be fine
FS1 already fired Shannon . How do that work? they bought out his contract. so guess what, he aint coming back. Jenny is gone Max done with tv. so theres nothing to fantasize about
@@FaceFamous Shannon was more a breakup deal with Skip. Then his podcast took off, and SAS got him on espn now and then. Jenny had a child, and Skip made sure she wasn’t back. Max sent off cause SAS, but I’m sure all these figures would be open to a show. Doubtful it would happen but I think a good panel idea
Preach Buek Preach, tell them the truth
