@ LeBron strong armed Rob Palenka to trade their depth for more offense, knowing full well that LeBron doesn’t know the first thing about sharing the ball (Ofcourse unless when it’s pressure situations because he sucks at them). Russ isn’t a good third option, he’s number 1 or bust. Jokic made it work, end of story.
LeBron isn't a better floor-raiser; stop it. LeBron carried a Cavs team that was ranked in the top 5 in defense to the NBA Finals when the Eastern Conference was at its weakest. He faced two .500 teams before encountering the Pistons, who won 50+ games, but that Pistons team was without its best player. And yes, he took the Cavs to four straight Finals, but, again, he was playing in a very weak Eastern Conference. After going to the West, he went to the Finals once and missed the playoffs twice. LeBron isn't a better floor-raiser; he doesn't elevate his teammates like Jokic does; he doesn't draw attention like Jokic does. Westbrook is having the second-most efficient season of his career playing with Jokic and is shooting over 51% as of December.
Whoever made that sengun and randle trade is the ultimate stats watcher coz no way if u watch a rockets game u will say oh that sengun guy is the 2nd coming of randle.
Whoever made that comment should be banned from saying his opinions about basketball. Go speak with a trash can. I'm not even joking. The owner of the channel is a Rockets hater as well. He never watches the Rockets and then when he gets called out on it he deletes Rockets fans comments... He is a Rockets hater and will share any opinion that supports his hatred. Sengun is only 22 and yet Randle never averaged higher BPM nor VORP than Sengun's advanced stats in the last 2 seasons. Meaning a 21 years old Sengun was already a better player than Randle ever was, including his all-nba season. Sengun makes everyone on his team better, Randle makes them worse. They are nothing like. Their play style is nothing like. Sengun is Hakeem+Jokic come to life, a talent that comes in every 20 years. Randle? No skill, no efficiency, ball hogger, only knows how to play bully ball. Sengun is currently ranked number 9 in the official MVP list on the NBA website.
re: LeBron vs Jokic being a floor raiser - LeBron played with multiple all stars on the Cavs, who play in the anemic east. When Jokic won the title he had none. Soooo...
@@adityadasari2214 Yes. Mo Williams and Big Z were all stars on LeBron's team. So for those at home keeping score: LeBron all stars - 2. Jokic......................
@@semiotikAaron Gordon and Jamal Murrsy are way better players. Leagues talent is far different and Bron made them All Stars carrying them to top seeds. Its fine to have an opinion, why you sound like you are very emotional here
@@YakDPOY Gordon's averages in his PEAK years in Orlando are 15/7/3 on 44/32/70. BIG Z in his PEAK years averaged 16 & 8 on 47 FG% while shooting 80% from the line & 2 BLOCKS. Williams in his PEAK years AVERAGED 16 PPG on 45/40/87 whereas Murray for the last 3 years has averaged 20 PPG on 46/40/84. Williams ALSO took 3 FEWER shots per game. Williams & Big Z actually have ACCOLADES to their names. Williams was a 1x All-Star & finished top 10 in 6MOY voting twice & Big Z was 2x All-Star & played 78+ games for 5 straight YEARS. Whereas Murray & Gordon between the 2 of them, NEVER made a single All-Star team or made an All-NBA team of any kind. It's not just a stretch to say Gordon & Murray were supposedly "Way Better" players, it's just completely FALSE. Big Z head to 2 head with Gordon is the better player. As for Williams & Murray, I'll give the clear edge to Murray but I wouldn't exactly say he's "Way Better" "Bron made them All Stars carrying them to top seeds" ???? Big Z literally was an All-Star the year before he got to Cleveland averaging 17 & 8 on 45 FG% shooting 80% FT with 2 blocks. Williams the 2 seasons before he joined Lebron, he averaged 17 on 46/37/85. Lastly, idk how you say nonsense like Lebron "Carried" yes he was their best player, but he was literally the REASON they lost in 07 & 08. 2007 Finals: So DESPITE Lebron playing this badly & I mean BADLY against 3 HALL of FAMER's in their prime was still in a position to win the series. GAME 4. LOST BY 1. Lebron MISSED 4 FREE THROWS and had 6 TURNOVERS. GAME 3. LOST BY 3. Lebron 9/23 shooting with 5 TURNOVERS. 2008 ECSF against BOSTON: 26/6/7 on 35/23/75 with 5 TURNOVERS A GAME. He shot UNDER 40% in 5 of the 7 games you CAN'T delegate blame to other people & say I "carried" them when you YOURSELF in Lebron played HORRIBLE & were a BIG REASON they LOST.
@@alexescutia4805 Nah he was only worth that as the 1st or 2nd option, like if he woulda stayed in washington and balled out till his contract ended(and got them to the playoffs more) he wouldve never recived hate, but who knows if he had a choice
@@tigeranthony struggling lol, he almost solo carried them to the western finals, it's not just Murray, there are 4 starters playing and he had zero help from his team. In that 6th game he was responsible for 75+ points alone. Lets see that game 7 where Porter had 5 points and bench combined in 30+ min had 3 points.
I'm not seeing where Russ or Kyrie would EVER need "saving". They're both GREAT despite stupid ass media and fan narratives and commentary (such as yours)
I think it says more about Lebron James and what he couldnt do with Westbrook then what Joker has been able too. Obviously its another reason why Joker is amazing, and mad props to Westbrook for finding harmony with his new team. On the other end we are just reminded how often and how quickly Lebron is to place blame on others and abandon everything when things arent easy. Lebron as the goat is a complete joke.
the truth is that team wouldve NEVER WORKED, there main 2 stars missed almost as many games combined as russ played the whole season, none of them could shoot consistently, all of them need space to work, the equation never made sense they should’ve got bradley beal instead of
2022-23 Nets is the best team Durant has been on since GSW. They had elite defenders, elite shooters, elite creators. They were just figuring out but the Nets owner blew it with the Kyrie drama.
Sadwolvesfan is delusional calling Sengun a cone on defense. He's taken a big leap on that end since entering the league and he's a clear positive defensively.
Lebron makes all star teammates worse, and also limits young players' growth. He is all-around but he has to do everything himself to the point that restricts teammates' playstyles, it's always his teammates making sacrifices. Jokic is the opposite. Period.
I didn't follow him, but I'm going to block his channel. LeBalco is the most physically dominant basketball player ever. If his knowledge were at the same level as his athletic ability, he wouldn't have only four titles. Of course, of those four titles, only two have been won as a major player on the team...
LeBron played in weak east with only two or three teams being a powerhouse Jokic is doing it in the west and has won a tittle before LeBron in that time span doing what he does in. The west is killer he’s doing Kobe/magic type things
Nope, sorry. The first take is true and your logic here is braindead. Because Lebron led "bad" teams against garbage can opponents in the weakest conference in history to 60+ wins that nessesarily makes him a better floor raiser than Jokic? 😂. Lebron isn't leading a team that bad to 40 wins in THIS western conference 😆
Let's not go crazy. Russ is great player. N the combo is great. It's team sport. N at times the combo makes other team look foolish. They r fun to watch.
I think that first take is referring to Jokic's ability to raise the floor of his teammates, not the team's record as a whole. Bron is better at the latter not the former
Your giving Jokic too much credit. Look up westbrooks stats when he was starting for the clippers and look up his last game he played as a starter against a fully healthy suns team. 16-15-15 triple double
Westbrook has proven that he can have big numbers on bad teams. This is not disputed. He's got solid numbers in a good team that has a chance to win the title. He's playing smarter basketball in Denver, otherwise he'd be out of the league quickly.
Also research the chemistry he and Anthony Davis had playing the two-man game when Dummy Ham was smart enough to run those plays. Davis was too gutless to speak up on Westbrook's behalf
dont underrate russ, he is amazing player no matter whats media narrative, lucky he is still playing with his age and he is compatitive, if he can play for lets say next 3 years, jokic and russ can feed off eachother and have for sure one in 5 games both triple double in same game, just looking now, with russ ,jokic gets triple double in 3 quarters and can rest one quarter of the game which gives russ space to get them rebounds and achive triple double also. euther way, they are amazing duo.
LeBron destroyed Russ’s value,
Jokic rejuvenated Russ’s value. That speaks to the Joker’s greatness!
ye its brons fault russ played like ass 🤦♂️

Luka Saving Kyrie, Jokic saving Russ, Giannis Saving Dame, yall better thank these europeans!

Dumbass he struggled on more than just the lakers so what’s the excuse for everywhere else?
Russ was already Great. Look at what LeBron did with Tristan Thomas, Delladova, . He got avg players multi millions they wouldn't of got
Check out all the former Nuggets that thrived with Joker and you'll realize that he does that for everyone!

Westbrook himself deserves credit too.
He deserves all the credit. Jokic struggled mightily in last year's playoffs without Murray and Russ has literally been the difference this year
