This brings tears to my eyes this man put the work in every single area in life to be great top-tier role model I thinks he’s retiring after this season
One love
@@antoinepowell649 he's looking to get a three year max contract and he wants to play with his son so I'm sure he's not going to be retiring after this season.
Where have you been? He’s been saying it in multiple interviews. Post game interviews.
“So rub my feet please” lmao 😂
😂
Even Savannah don’t want to rub his nasty feet, have you seen those things
@@grahamcarmichael6567lose the foot fetish moses
@@grahamcarmichael6567 Savannah gets to literally live life like a queen because of him… so rub his feet please. Lol
Austin is shockingly clutch. He's all over the court. Playmaking, blocking, steals, shotting, freethrows. The media doesn't talk about how consistently he shows up in the clutch.
AR is incredible!
His bag is amazing. He does it all with limitations
As a reaves fan, i feel like its being overblown. I love the guy but i don’t want him all over the media. His numbers are low as a fourth option and people just keep yapping he’s overrated
@@cheaseeds6207 too late for that fam
@@cheaseeds6207in fairness to him tho he is a fourth who can in his current state be a second
Austin reaves plays for lebron not for the lakers 😂
Been that way for a while with Lebron
You have to get your skillswt to fit what he wants
🤣😂🤣😂
Kinda the same for kobe and Jordan tho😂
This dude plays no d. Doesn’t get back on D. Stands in the corner, top of key.
Austin should have to trust LeBron.
Lebron the one to make sure he doesn't have to go back to the farmland he came from
AR and Rui are those young players who could shine playing beside with Lebron.
they do play with them
because they never care about what others think like russ and kyrie. they just play to help the team win
I think there are players on the team younger than Austin and Rui.
@@TheAndokid1but not better lol are u slow
@@MonkeyD.Moritz no i didn't say better or not i mean in general.
Lebron always got one cold white boi with him lmao
If the roles were reversed
@@goofyjawthan Go ask your mother
@@zjones5042 she said it's racist
He turned Alex to a beast
@@goofyjawthanlol it would be a losing team
You earn LBJs trust by being clutch and not being afraid of the moment ......
So shoot it with 2 secs left basically
aka he needs to delegate clutch moments cuz HE AINT that guy
@@kingserafoi8355exactly
@@kingserafoi8355 First off, why are you here?
Second, have you watched LeBron James at any point in his career?
@@kingserafoi8355 casual
"I've never played chess, but life is like chess" 😂😂😂
I love how you make these conversations extremely classy. Also, a lot of cool topics.
Facts!
I love this podcast so much. Bron and JJ dropping nuggets of knowledge is what we need right now.
Saya a nobody on the internet
@@hellskitchen9903 that's 99% of the internet.
@@hellskitchen9903thank you for that reply
It’s very informative but I think it’s just another way for LeBron to inflate his ego and talk about himself constantly
@@keel381 what ego are you on about? Also how exactly is he talking about himself constantly? They're talking about different topics and bring in their experience when answering them. Both LeBron and JJ are doing that and that's what anyone would do. You're just trying to find some issue with it.
That 03 Escalade metaphor 😮, LeBron’s a damn poet too 😂
Glazing
The way Lebron talks about his teammates! Always love and respect that!
Facts!
Yeah that is a great thing about LeBron just like when all the guys tackled Austin when he shot 3 pointer game winner against the Mavericks.
Amen. Stay hungry, pick your battles, regenerate
Bron and JJ is a really good friends. I think when you can celebrate players around league and your own team mates speaks volume. When you great you intend to pass this greatness to others.
I love it that AR has had the opportunity to learn from Bron. Lakers still missing pieces but could make playoff noise if Bron and AD (and AR and DLo) stay healthy. I’m not a Lakers fan, but I wouldn’t mind seeing it happen.
"people say I should play chess" alright lebron😂
"People say I'm the next Bobby Fisher"
Man Lebron sounds like he hinting at retirement
Edit: Yes I know he's old
🤦♂
They’re 9 th seed and he’s 39 the lakers ain’t gettin no better
I'll tear up for sure
I mean he’s in year 21 it only make sense
He's 39 years old
Gee, you discovered Atlantis...
I wish Bron and JJ had the chance to play together.
kyle korver better
Kyle Korver
Mike miller
@@NAMISIMPkorver wasn’t better then jj? Check the stats
Korver Was 🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️ when Bron needed him the most 🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️
Love everything about this Pod
Meanwhile you have folks on tv pushing a narrative about lebron needing to take a step back lol he’s literally searching for someone he can trust on the court with him at this stage of his career giving folks the opportunity of a lifetime.
Yeah, it also makes sense for Bron to do that. I'm a cricket fan and my favorite team is called CSK and our longtime captain is 42 years old and this year he himself stepped down and is playing under his successor. It's completely his decision yet some people are trying to make it seem like it wasn't.
If he refuses to play defense, yes he should take a step back. The team performs BETTER without him. BTW he doesnt trust the best player on the team AD?!? (shouldve won the bubble mvp and the in-season tourney mvp)
@@kingserafoi8355 the lakers are 6-4 without him , barely enough to call it “BETTER”
@@kingserafoi8355 the Lakers are 6-4 without him. They're barely above .500 and they're better without him?
@@SSJRome exactly lol
Lebron still managing to be a top 10 player at 39 is incredible, he should come back next year to be 40 averaging 25 a game and then retire. That would be the bow on an all time great career worthy enough of goat conversation.
I think he should play for at least a few more years. He should try to at least beat the all time games played record.
JJ, love what you do. Personally In radio since ‘76. You’re a good listener, polished. Sound great. Clear to see Lebron really appreciates your manner.
im starting to like bron wit this pod
how can you not like this man?
@@RosfieldContas a bron fan, there’s plenty of material to not like him for
@@corvoattano7430 respect as a low key Bron hater, the best fans know these famous ppl's faults the best, but they know why they have these faults and are fans despite their downfalls. End of the day we're all human, I have the utmost respect for Bron as an athlete and player, not very much you can legitimately hate about his game/career
@@corvoattano7430LMAO. Dude ur a flat out liar. Ur obviously not a Lebron fan. Name those reasons? Because he went to Miami? LMFAO. You’re weird dude.
@@corvoattano7430like what? I'm sure you are referring to the shallow things you see in social media, but he's a good human being in general, he never hurt, stepped others and was never mean to anyone. He helps whenever he has an opportunity to do so.
AR and Rui are perfect complimentary players. They are ballers that can get hot at anytime and they aren't afraid of moments. D-Lo has turned into a 3 point sniper all of a sudden. Probably because they finally gave him the greenlight .
Austin Reaves looks like Greg from Succession and i can't unsee it! 😭😭
Love this podcast man
Same
Love this podcast woman
LeBron is matured so much she's just such an articulate and wise experienced person
Hearing Bron say he would die on the court is crazy 😂
Bros been in the league half is live that takes alot of sacrifice
Especially when he sits out the most
But he can’t stand back to backs..
@@nemorenato8920let me ask you this , when he was in his prime was he playing back to backs ? You got guys like kawhi who ARE there prime and still can’t even play two games straight.
@@jadencandelario7880 what I’m insinuating is he’s soft. And I’m from San Antonio so I don’t think much of Kawhi lol think he’s extremely soft. Both guys would have gotten eaten alive in the 90s. I truly believe that
Performance-enhanced tires.
Crazy bc it shows how different Bron and Bean/MJ are as players. Mentally polar opposites i feel like. All goats tho
Yo brother, thank you for bringing the Lakers another championship. One more will be sweet but hey you did it. Congratulations. Still got a couple more years. Left to get another superstar that takes the pressure off of you next year.
Can’t wait for episode 3 🧠 🏀
This pod is so dope
0:49 dat 🥷🏾 snapped 😂
Love the appreciation and respect LeBron James has for Austin Reaves. An absolute incredible athlete. 👏👏👏
LeBron actually should take up chess. His memory would come in clutch.
Who else perked up like wut when he said he plays chess
That is not what he said. He said people tell him he should play chess because of the way he thinks. He said he doesn’t play chess 🤦🏿♂️😂
he reads books too
@@kingserafoi8355Yea, but only the first chapter 😭
hold up. in that analogy, the tires are the shoes... he literally has new shoes every game, also he spends over a million dollars to make sure his body is in top shape.
Put 100K/ year on that old escalade, and it'll run amazing for a lot longer than bron.
It's true, Lebron selflessness is why his teams are always competitive. He empowers others to be more, whether they take the opportunity or not. Lebron always making the right play has gotten a lot of his teammates paid: JR. Smith, Mozgov, Deli, etc.
that's either make him the Goat or Not The Goat, depending on how you look at it.....
this is what "people" call not a "Killer" instinct or Mentality.. but I personally prefer to win as a team and lose as a team.
All of this is very enjoyable and entertaining to listen. Just drop the hat bron. You're at the table, why are you still wearing it.
I play chess. I mean I can’t play chess in real life but that’s what I think I’m doing 😂 Lebron ain’t worried about looking any type of way with that confidence
One love fam
Regardless of debates. I alwaya said Bron was putting a crazy amount of miles on his body playing full mins all the time and whatnot.
If u watch this then go watch first take and hear them talk about who’s under most pressure or that bs, it’s like night and day. Absolutely needed this and I’m such a fan of the game we all appreciate this very much.
First take is a two hour show that is on everyday, hence why they run out of topics that are serious. It will happen with this show as well i.e therr will come a time where they would really have to start analyzing the game and have to critique the decisions made. Right now they're just talking for the fun of it.
@@sskmanentsa5326 wrong the likes Kendrick Perkins and Shannon sharpe cannot analyze the game and speak about it in the way jj and lebron do. They’re good at making waves with their takes not having respectable ones. Big difference
@@Kane-qf8dn People have wanted a Bron Podcast for a long time, so this will generate traffic. Now the big test for them will be how they analyze real games. Right now it is just them speaking about actions in basketball, but how will they appear when criticizing a player. these player pods have veered away from doing that, especially JJ, something that First take does. Legler is probably the only mainstream character who does.
First take and others are like barbershop talk shows, hence why their takes are like that.
it was game 1 where AR scored 23 points with 14 in the 4th
Bron must have the ball more in his hands; he’s the King on the chessboard with the most moves. AR still has much more to prove, and so does DLo.
even the king say "please" to his wife. crazy 😂
Those tires must have a shit ton of thread on them in 2003 lol
wala na gyud akong podcast ani huhuhu 4x nba champion vs 0 nba champion huhuhu
He’s never been willing to die on the court
austin reeves is the love child of magic and bird
“I play a lot of chess” 😂😂😂
Kinda nuts he pretty much said “DLo you got it, AR you got it..”. What about AD? 😂😂
If caitlin clark, angel reese, and juju watkins are being debated if they are hype or not instead of guys making kitchen jokes, you know there is a shift
“I love seeing the success of my teammates more than anything” this why he the 🐐‼️How you invest just as much into your teammates as yourself and still got over 40k points. This the real GOAT mentality!
You need to Copy and Paste that!! 💪💪
I wish he said 2003 Hummer instead of Escalade lol
not to be a therapist, not having a father has got to effect the way lebron views on leaving the game. How does it not? He's always viewed basketball as family, probably one of the reasons a lot of people falsely view him as soft. He never wanted to kill his own family, the way say jordan wanted to "kill" his opponants. In the end lebron wants every player on the court to like him, the same way you would a family member. Lebron has the second most finals mvps all time, not as many as jordan, but for various reasons related to logisitcs and timing, not because he was less of a killer or some famlse narrative like that.
Ar is cold i know bron got alot of confidence and trust in his game
When analysts compare other top players to LeBron, the leadership and IQ is something they don't take in consideration. LeBron raises the level of play of his teammates in addition to putting up his own numbers.
Yes, they do. You must be deaf
I liked that small exchange about watching their own highlights. I’ve accepted that I’ll never make it in a professional league, and hearing this slice of their lives gave me a chuckle because I could see myself doing that exact same thing.
Damn, can’t imagine the NBA without lebron. Damn 😢
Please tell AR to be more aggressive in game 2 of the series against Denver and DLo to playmake when his shots aren't falling. Get Rui more involved too.
Your already a better coach than Darvin Ham, too bad he didn’t apply it.
❤❤❤
i honestly regret not sticking with sports bc if i wouldve... im far too prideful to be trash at what i do.
welp... atleast i have a bunch of military knowledge etc thatll never come in handy since ive been out for a long ass time now
Lebron is the one athlete who made it 2 decades without scandal.
Focuses on basketball and family, also philanthropic toward his community and his country in general.
Hell of a man, hell of a mind, hell of a heart. Wins me over more and more. I was 5 when he was drafted.
I grew up completely and all he did was lose hair.
Bron is about to hang the shoes if he don't win this year
"i play alot of chess....not in real life.....people tell me i should play"
lol he sounds like Brendan Schaub here.
BROOOOON!
Bro noo I’m not ready for this
LeBron recollections is crazy! I could barely remember what I ate last week for lunch and I am only 36.. smh
“yeah yeah yeah yeah” - means Lebron ain’t handing over the offense
I still can't believe AD hasn't taken over the team! Bron would have alot less wear n tear if AD would be more consistent
That watch is ridiculous
Lakers relying on a 39 year old man , who about to retire that franchise ain’t goin nowhere
If Kobe was teammates up with Austin Reaves now, he will talk trash to him in practice and ruin his confidence. Instead of building him up as a competent player.
Just like the 2016 Lakers they would go nowhere.
Clown Kobe was the reason Caron Butler had a good NBA Career you clown do your research once Kobe respected his teammates he took them on “Blackout” training sessions
Yep. Or if mj would have punched reeves like he did Steve Kerr 😂😂
and where exactly is this lakers team going? The 2nd round if they’re lucky? Lmao quit suckin LeSoft
@@keel381 They were in the conference finals Last year. LMAO Kobe couldnt even make Jeremy Lin better.
Quit suckin lesoft he’s got 3 rings cuz he’s a choker
JJ would've been great for LeBron's designated "cold white boy"!
Just watched the Dr.Umar interview with Aristotle investments 😂 man I flew to this podcast. If you don’t know yet please check it out it makes this podcast more entertaining 😂
I picked lakers to win the west a few weeks ago lets go
He didnt mention AD👀👀
they're talking about running the offense as primary ballhandler. even when ad is cooking, he doesn't do that, he does most of his playmaking from high post
Lol I'm my mind in playing chess... but I never played chess and don't know how to play chess.
He Didn’t Say “ Hey AD You Got it “ and I Understand Why 😔
This is what the game of 🏀⛹️♂️needs!
This f’n guy. I play cricket. Not really. But I feel like I do…in my head.
You tune in every episode to hate? That's sad man.
The mf goat fr
If you have low expectations.. then yea
@@nickjones3860your comment didn’t come off as smart as you hoped 😂
@@dominicdecoco7950 your comment didn’t come off as smart at all.. a man who lost six finals could never be the goat
thats all yall jordan dick ryders can say six losses in the finals... Well jordan got swept in the first round before he had pippen lol he might be 6-0 in the finals but you have to get to the finals first right and jordan got swept twice in the playoffs buddy knw your history its #KINGJAMES biiisshhhh@@nickjones3860
*AR15 is an Assassin on the court* he just that lethal, hes not Hillbilly Kobe *Austin Reaves hes AR15!*
Lebrons favorite word..”Forsure”
AR is like Derrick White minus defense but more polished offensive skills. Just a dawg in clutch
AD you got it?
“Diddy has the best parties” - LeBron James
Lame
I bet you got diddled by the diddy and he touched your tip just the way you like it
LeZesty
terrible example.....the escalade has had tune ups daily...gets new wheels and tires daily....has the best of everything.
"competitor" but leaves and joins forces to make super teams in order to win. What a great "competitor" he is..
"i love the success of my teammates" ::pans over to ex teammates who were used as pawns and sacrificed by lbj
That Escalade be getting tune ups from the balco station every other day tho
Those are called stem cells and they are legal. Steroids cause injuries.
LBJ = grandmaster of the court. I just commented on another video of this show hat the technical aspect of bball sounds like chess.
GOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🐐🐐🐐
I don’t see MJ
Not even close
@@keel381 Youre close to being a LOSER. Nah, youre an actual LOSER.
Everybody got podcast now cause people got nothing to do in their life but to go on internet follow and listen lol.
More like a 1984 Chevy Pick up truck with 3,000,000 miles.
He lokey getting tired of this shit 🤣 I don’t blame him. There’s more to basketball now. At his age.
Plus you know he's got those weird toes.
Bron gonna play a cool 25 seasons if bronny is decent
Bronny ass
