@@chazhopkins4686 because when healthy Khawi is a good defender which the suns are lacking. And plus he’s younger than Durant and they’re typically injured about the same
How did LBJ change the Math? Like he said Jordan was 35. Kareem was 40. Malone was 40 i think i know for fact 39. Reggie was like 37. Stockton was 39 or 40. Ewing was late 30s so was Dream. Come on now!!!
The Lakers roster has been vastly overrated by the media. Besides LeBron and AD, would any other player even start on the top 3 seeds in the West? No. Do they have any bench production? No. The roster is overrated, and because the media is unwilling to admit that, they default to blaming the coach. Darvin Ham is not a goo coach, don’t get me wrong but the Lakers wouldn’t beat Denver even if they had Phil Jackson coaching.
If you look at the players that left AFTER Lebron became a Laker, most of them left to become the 1 or 2 option elsewhere. The problem is that because Lebron is a 3 who swallows the role of the point, the 2 and 3, those players don't get to develop properly. They get all the blame, though. What os the point of being a point guard if the 3 is going to assume all of the passing and scoring??? The reason that it worked in Chicago with Scottie Pippen was he wasn't trying or demanding to be the primary scorer as well as ball handler. Kukoc, Armstrong, Hodges, Kerr, Paxon, and Harper were able to function and get their shots. Lebron has had waaaaayyyyyy more quality players around him than MJ and has done less with.
Who? Lonzo hurt, kuzma on the wizards doing nothing, bi just got swept, Caruso is good but not a foundational pieces and didn’t make the playoff ms and zubac was a rookie who barely hit playing time and found a tour within the clippers. So again who??
@davidwitt7522 .. Brandon Ingram, Caldwell Pope, Josh Hart. I only counted the guards but the bigs also left to be valuable elsewhere annnnnnd the same pattern can be said for Miami and Cleveland. And jist because Ingram got swept, that doesn't change the fact that he left and is the primary scorer!!!!! The problem with the members of the International Church of BronBron, is that instead of chasing the unattainable and creatively trying to alter the narrative of why he isn't the GOAT, y'all should just be happy that he is an all time great!!!
The NBA changed the math because just like the NFL, every NBA game is played like an all-star game, so players can play longer. I like how they always show baseball players fighting who can't fight at all. How about showing two guys in the NHL going toe to toe that can actually fight.
My god the perfect segment: “The Changing of the Guard” as a compliment to club superstar. Costumes, a horn, EVERYTHING. KW declaring “Today is a new day, the dawning of a new age. Time is our sovereign, and with one generation comes another. In the name of the Committee, protectors of the Tapestry of Greatness and Lords of the Hill, I do declare the changing of the guard!” *horns, doves, light*
Probably the worst statement ever. "These guys are so competitive i dont see them ever teaming up" lmao 2 of em are the epitome of that ring chaser mentality. What a joke
The fact that magic is surprised speaks to the greatness of all these players. At there age most greats where done or not good anymore but the expectation for these three is still championship or at least deep playoff run or it wasn’t good enough. I can’t remember the last time we judged any older players like this. Magic Larry and mike got old and everybody noticed and said well there old now but if they were younger ect. But we think steph and kd suppose to compete til they 40 and lebron til he 45 smh. He could be 60 and people going be like he didn’t get it done 😂😂😂
Honestly, I don't know how load management is supposed to help in a situation like the Lakers. When the Spurs did it, I got it, they had a plethora of young guys that needed minutes and it gave older guys like Duncan a breather when needed, teams like the Clippers and Lakers do it because there are times their stars just don't wanna go to work that night. The fact is, the Spurs are the ONLY team that has benefitted from load management. The Clippers have flat out thrown rings away in the last 4 years just because of this. Look at that team, they should've at the very least made at least 1 finals, the Lakers shouldn't be jocking for a final playoff spot every year when they have that roster. The reason teams like Denver win is because they have a roster of guys that actually put the team first. Jamal Murray isn't hitting those game winners if he's load managing 10-15 games a year, I promise you that.
KD on the Mavs is a guaranteed ring if they’re healthy. Dallas is in the top 3 or 4 teams with 6’6 wings who can’t hit a jump shot. You think they wouldn’t be substantially better with a 6’11 wing putting up 20-25 at over 50%?
The NFL wants divisional games to count, so they always put them towards the end of the schedule. But the chiefs are ALWAYS resting starters the last week of the season. So to make it more interesting, I think they put Chiefs vs Chargers week one. It's harbaugh's first game. Would be a big draw with the LA market. I think that's the one
They left out Jrue Holiday, Mike Conley, and Al Horford. I think the key there is these older veterans are playing on teams led by younger stars. I think that's a model some of these older stars might want to look at. I think of all the older players KD might be in the best position because D Book is still one of the young guns and Beal is still young(although his body has been breaking down like an older player) The issue is will one of these older players take a complimentary role to a young star? It's very tough to admit that you can no longer carry a franchise. I keep hearing about "Get Bron Help" or "Get Steph Help" or "Get KD Help" but Jokic is winning with what he has, Ant is winning with what he has, SGA is winning with what he has, etc...... Bron, Steph, and KD command a lot of a team's cap and then if they have a co-star such as Klay, D Book, or AD, that player will also command a huge chunk of the cap.... If you get them a 3rd star level player, that's 3 guys taking 90% of the available cap. So what will the other 12 look like? I'm not complaining about what players make, i am pro labor all the way, these players deserve that money and market rate salaries. They are who the fans are paying to watch perform. It's just the reality of a cap system... One way to "possibly" mitigate this is by an older star like say Bron or Steph, identifying a young star or team that can afford to pay him market rate while the younger guys are still being paid under market rate..... However, even though you are now the highest paid player, enter the team with less ego and a willingness to allow the younger star to be team leader(and the head coach by the way) Sort of how Rudy Gobert is doing in Minnesota. I think right now he is likely the highest paid player and a several time DOPY. He could have gone there and acted like a big shot but instead he is allowing the younger Edwards to emerge as team leader. Even the higher paid KAT has done that. That's the path i see for a Steph or Bron. We just saw a team with Steph, Klay, Dray, and CP3 not even make the playoffs and a team with Kawhi, PG, Harden, and Russ get knocked out in the 1st rd.... Bron and AD knocked out in the 1st rd. Dame and Giannis knocked out in the 1st rd(i understand Giannis didn't play and Dame only played 1 or 2 games) KD, D Book, and Beal knocked out in the 1st rd... All the younger teams will be even stronger next season and more confident. All returning most of their teammates and retaining their head coaches. The Kings and Pelicans should be better next season. Maybe The Rockets emerge? Ja returns and makes The Grizzlies a threat? Maybe Wemby and The Spurs vastly improve? Are we sure Bron, Steph, Kawhi, and KD can overcome this changing of the guard?
Magic can say what he want too. KD back to the warriors, with Klay, CP, and Klay taking a pay cut to go after a championship with the team they have now.
Lebron would team up with them in a heartbeat if he thinks they have anything left in the tank... he will team up with anyone if it eliminates competition and makes his path easier.
The fact that Chris said Katie is competing with LeBron. More than Steph is hilarious since he's nowhere even near to Steph's level and would be damn near nothing without him 😂😂
Memphis with a healthy Ja and Marcus Smart will contend next year. Bunch of caveats with this but Ja, Ant Man, Jalen Brunson Wemby, SGA and others are the new face of the league
I think if bron joins GSW or Suns those teams are gonna win a chip. Bron and KD or Bron, Steph, and Draymond are def contenders. Now, it will definitely hurt their legacies but they'd get a ring.
Magic didn't take a shot, and Nick reacted to it in the way Magic meant it-- that is is hella surprising ALL of them are out already (Steph didn't quite make it in, since play-in games are not considered play off games.) It IS surprising enough to make the observation that Magic made. The title of this clip is click bait, obviously.
OKC would blitz the Lakers in 5 or 6. OKC has the best player and 4 of the best 6 players. Arguably 5 of the best 7. The have more playmaking, more shooting, better perimeter defense and the interior defense is quite close (considering the Lakers have AD). OKC has far more energy and excels in the clutch. For the Lakers to win AD has to be by far the best player in the series. 80/20 OKC's favor.
I love all of those guys but this is good for the NBA. The key is for the media to cover these young guys and prop them up. It hurts that these young guys play in small markets but the media owes it to the fans to feature these teams more and not just talk about the guys that are over the hill
Magic can say what he wants he earned that right for me he and Jordan are on the same level so rather you agree or not he's earned the right to say it

KD on the Mavs is a guaranteed ring if they’re healthy. Dallas is in the top 3 or 4 teams with 6’6 wings who can’t hit a jump shot. You think they wouldn’t be substantially better with a 6’11 wing putting up 20-25 at over 50%?
The NFL wants divisional games to count, so they always put them towards the end of the schedule. But the chiefs are ALWAYS resting starters the last week of the season. So to make it more interesting, I think they put Chiefs vs Chargers week one. It's harbaugh's first game. Would be a big draw with the LA market. I think that's the one
Btw Boys in that Brewers Rays game there was definitely build up for that to happen it wasn’t random 😂 someone didn’t do their Hw still love yall tho
They left out Jrue Holiday, Mike Conley, and Al Horford.
I think the key there is these older veterans are playing on teams led by younger stars.
I think that's a model some of these older stars might want to look at.
I think of all the older players KD might be in the best position because D Book is still one of the young guns and Beal is still young(although his body has been breaking down like an older player)
The issue is will one of these older players take a complimentary role to a young star?
It's very tough to admit that you can no longer carry a franchise.
I keep hearing about "Get Bron Help" or "Get Steph Help" or "Get KD Help" but Jokic is winning with what he has, Ant is winning with what he has, SGA is winning with what he has, etc......
Bron, Steph, and KD command a lot of a team's cap and then if they have a co-star such as Klay, D Book, or AD, that player will also command a huge chunk of the cap....
If you get them a 3rd star level player, that's 3 guys taking 90% of the available cap.
So what will the other 12 look like?
I'm not complaining about what players make, i am pro labor all the way, these players deserve that money and market rate salaries.
They are who the fans are paying to watch perform.
It's just the reality of a cap system...
One way to "possibly" mitigate this is by an older star like say Bron or Steph, identifying a young star or team that can afford to pay him market rate while the younger guys are still being paid under market rate.....
However, even though you are now the highest paid player, enter the team with less ego and a willingness to allow the younger star to be team leader(and the head coach by the way)
Sort of how Rudy Gobert is doing in Minnesota.
I think right now he is likely the highest paid player and a several time DOPY.
He could have gone there and acted like a big shot but instead he is allowing the younger Edwards to emerge as team leader.
Even the higher paid KAT has done that.
That's the path i see for a Steph or Bron.
We just saw a team with Steph, Klay, Dray, and CP3 not even make the playoffs and a team with Kawhi, PG, Harden, and Russ get knocked out in the 1st rd....
Bron and AD knocked out in the 1st rd.
Dame and Giannis knocked out in the 1st rd(i understand Giannis didn't play and Dame only played 1 or 2 games)
KD, D Book, and Beal knocked out in the 1st rd...
All the younger teams will be even stronger next season and more confident.
All returning most of their teammates and retaining their head coaches.
The Kings and Pelicans should be better next season.
Maybe The Rockets emerge?
Ja returns and makes The Grizzlies a threat?
Maybe Wemby and The Spurs vastly improve?
Are we sure Bron, Steph, Kawhi, and KD can overcome this changing of the guard?
it is not possible that the lakers would have beaten OKC, nor, the mavs, clips, minnesota, and of course, Denver
LeBron to the Suns for Beal and a couple firsts
No one:
Broussard: LEBRAAAAWWNNN
Magic can say what he want too. KD back to the warriors, with Klay, CP, and Klay taking a pay cut to go after a championship with the team they have now.
“Gotta love Pat Bev” aged horribly, quickly!
They shouldn't waste week one with a good matchup against the chiefs. It should be denver. Save the Houston, Cincy, and Ravens for later
Why the disbelief? his reign - like everyone else's - eventually ended. amazing how dimwitted he so often sounds despite all his commercial success
The three should just team up
If Kobe didn't get hurt he would've played high level basketball til he was at least 37
Lebron would team up with them in a heartbeat if he thinks they have anything left in the tank... he will team up with anyone if it eliminates competition and makes his path easier.
How Nick go from being bald as hell to the best hair on tv. I need the secrets
All sports eventually come down to being a young persons' game. Always has and always will.
Hey at least these guys gonna have time to rest up for the France lol
The fact that Chris said Katie is competing with LeBron. More than Steph is hilarious since he's nowhere even near to Steph's level and would be damn near nothing without him 😂😂
idk how the MLB and Hockey players can fight but when NFL and NBA players do it they have character issues and they need to be banned for life 😂
The Clippers, Mavs, Wolves, Thunder and Nuggets are all better than Lakers. They were never going anywhere.
KD in LA would lose
Memphis with a healthy Ja and Marcus Smart will contend next year. Bunch of caveats with this but Ja, Ant Man, Jalen Brunson Wemby, SGA and others are the new face of the league
U still gotta get some rebounding. So. Bron Curry KD. Will Lose. U need Bigs. Plain n simple
"I could never see KD and Steph teaming up" that was funny.
And unoriginal. Old joke even back in 2017-19 when they dominated Bronny Sr. AKA LeBALCO 💊💉
I’m calling it. Minnesota vs knicks finals lol
Ne funny if them 3 got together and ate 🤣
Fact check: Al Horford is 5 years older than Kyrie
I think if bron joins GSW or Suns those teams are gonna win a chip. Bron and KD or Bron, Steph, and Draymond are def contenders. Now, it will definitely hurt their legacies but they'd get a ring.
Magic didn't take a shot, and Nick reacted to it in the way Magic meant it-- that is is hella surprising ALL of them are out already (Steph didn't quite make it in, since play-in games are not considered play off games.)
It IS surprising enough to make the observation that Magic made. The title of this clip is click bait, obviously.
If Curry had an AD type of talent next to him he would still content..
OKC would blitz the Lakers in 5 or 6. OKC has the best player and 4 of the best 6 players. Arguably 5 of the best 7. The have more playmaking, more shooting, better perimeter defense and the interior defense is quite close (considering the Lakers have AD). OKC has far more energy and excels in the clutch.
For the Lakers to win AD has to be by far the best player in the series. 80/20 OKC's favor.
