Joy is so uncomparably better than molly. She makes quick assessments, doesnt yell over them, and actually knows what shes talking about when she brings something up.
Aosa Aone I agree. Especially the derrick Rose year. I know what Rose did was amazing but Lebron averaged 29/8/8 and lead the heat past the Bulls in the playoffs and to the NBA finals. He choked and lost during the finals yes. But in my opinion he was robbed that year
Aosa Aone Who cares about regular season MVPs..It's all about Finals MVPs.. Lebron got 3 while Jordan got 6 Finals MVPs that include Two 3-peats..while Lebron got Zero 3 peats #Facts
Arnell Pearson lol I always always thought the same thing. There was even a point where I argued with some guys that were 100% positive that the NBA allow 3 steps until i pulled up the rules for them.
Skip just made the dumbest argument I've ever heard on TV. The refs aren't calling fouls for Lebron cos they know he's a 68% free throw shooter?? Wat??
A lot of people wont read this but in case you do good for you: People commenting obviously either started watching basketball recently or are very very dumb people. 1. Lebron has the highest attempted shots in the paint in the league 2. Lebron ranks #10 in free throws attempted/game (westbrook at #1 & harden at #2) So it is very weird how jump shooters (especially Harden and Butler - who sits at number 6 in FTA) get more free throw attempts than Lebron who constantly drives to the basket. I was watching the Houston vs OKC game and Harden got three fouls calls beyond the arc for initiating contact and shooting with his arms under the defender and gets 9 FTA because of it. Lebron hussles under the rim always and gets the call sometimes. People jump into conclusions without reading, researching, they see Lebron's name mentioned oh yea yea let me go and hate. If you read game reports and follow up with reporters on the courts and follow sports experts on twitter you would know that Lebron's after game ritual is spending 20-30 minutes getting scrapes and scratches off his arms by the medical team and sometimes face indicating that there is a lot of contact always after each game. The best explanation for this was when coach Lue said they officiate Lebron like Shaq (who also does not get a lot of calls) due to their strength under the rim even when taking the hit they seem to overpower their opponent.
No duh.. Ofc bron gets no calls bcuz of his size thts easy assessment...but at the same time fouls are called on high contact and shot altering contact.. For 1 bron doesnt get the benefit of doubt bcuz he is steong af n flops n for the refs its hard to call a foul for someone who flops so horrible n obviously. Also the fouls he should b getting arent altering his shot much bcuz of how hard he goes to the rim. The uncalled mack foul couldve easily been a made layup but he missed it to sell the foul more as he does. Only reason he got mad is bcuz he missed the layup n wanted the fouls to try n make up the 2 points he had let go of in missing the layup.
Teres Worrell no he doesn't and his disadvantage is he is stronger and bigger than the other guys so refs just let it go which is not fair cause sometimes it gets the player frustrated if he gets fouled a lot and doesn't get any call which eventually affects his game rhythm
+Teres Worrell Did you even watch the clip before posting your comments? James Harden has shot more than 175 FT than LeBron on only two more drives. Now the sports analyst that you are, can you give a good reason for that?
+Teres Worrell Every player gets a good share of calls but LeBron going to the basket almost the same time as James Harden and got 175 fewer FT attempts is not what you call a "good share of calls". Almost every time that he is going towards the basket, he is getting hacked and guess what? No Call. You may need to atleast try watching one of Cavs game moving forward for you to have atleast a few idea on what he is complaining about.
UNDISPUTED ON FS1 if LeBron doesn't win it harden will , even though I think LeBron should win it every year harden is doing so much with his team and having a phenomenal year over Westbrook too because he has more wins and is second to him in triple doubles this year
Greg Mercedes umm...can you please tell me ONLY 3 times in lebrons entire career that the refs actually called a tec on somebody that wasn't a tec in the playoffs!?cause Lebron every time he gets fouled right?
Even when you start to think Skip is making valid points and defending LeBron, he goes and says something ridiculous about the refs and LeBrons FT %...
Almost every other superstar gets treated better by officials. But LBJ is such a strong finisher he doesn't get calls that most other players would get bc he powers through them. That's why he has to try to flop to get calls bc nobody can move him.
Its pathetic from LeBron to even mention that he is being treated badly. There are so many missed calls in the NBA why should you be an exception. There are games where he has run through players, fouled players, traveled and no whistle has been blown. Just recently in the finals the possession where Green got his suspension LeBron made 2 fouls and one technical and didn't get a call for one of the 3 times. I didn't see him complaining about the refs that time. Why should you get special treatment in the NBA. In the refs mind everybody should be a equal on the court and follow the same rules and LeBron is speaking like he should get a special treatment because he is a superstar.
If they're legitimately not calling fouls because of size and strength then yes that's absolutely rediculous, but we'll never know because we're not the refs.
Strong BlackMan your ears don't work bro? The coach ordered a foul, Sheldon Mack intentionally fouled him, and it wasn't called. Him initiating contact don't apply here.
+Noel DiMaggio Jr sir...... with all do respect just because the coach wanted a foul doesn't mean the player committed it........ again........ take a better look 👀
Don't like Skip but he's right, 69% on free throws is really bad. 85% is quite high though. I feel like Lebron should be making in the high 70% for his free throws.
TheColecoVisionary that is so not true James harden be flopping like crazy when he goes to the rim harden is great but he's not on lebron James level sir let's be real here
I would say this about LeBron. He might not get the calls he deserves on offense, but he also gets away with plenty of calls on defense himself. I'm a LeBron fan but let's be fair. Does he deserve a few more free throws per game? Absolutely. But he also gets away with plenty of calls on the other end. Maybe that's veteran savvy, maybe it's being the best player in the world, idk.
I was going to agree with LeBron but realizing how much he does push off with his arm but I think refs do this with lots of players... when I'm watching games, refs pick sides in my eyes. Like I hate when Harden gets all those calls. It makes me mad
No reason russell shoukd get mvp anymore with how harden has been playin. Russell is just padding stats for himself at this point while not only is harden getting triple double but his is carrying a sub par team of nobodies to winning streaks of 10 in the west. Harden should win hands down if he keeps this play up
Shannon's argument in this made no sense whatsoever. I'm pretty sure the people at FOX just give him a script and he just yells it out with little or no personal opinion.
hows it a foul on defense? the offensive player ran toward the basket thru the defensive player i have not watched basketball in a long time and im sure the rules are like such, but i just dont get why an offensive player can run into a defenseive player
It's true lebron isn't getting more calls but don't say that "people of his stature" should be getting calls. A foul is a foul whether the person is a star or not.
y'all know y'all some real LeBron haters when even skip sides with LeBron on this. Take this L haters, LeBron will still win the MVP and the championship!
I don't get It when the Refs was In the spotlight for this a week or 2 ago KD and Lebron came out defending them now there both complaining when they was just defending them cant have It both ways when Its not going your way
All time greats make Free Throws??? Ok, Skip probably doenst consider Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Moses Malone, Tim Duncan, Shaq all time greats... ok then
lebron misses free throws especially late in games right skip? besides the 3 free throws in a row in game 7 with 4 minutes left though combined with the 3 pointer he made to tie it. against the best team ever. no big deal, u got it skip.
Vince Carter was a better shooter who often went to the hole that got far less calls than James and I never heard anyone crying for him nor did I hear him crying about it. Just saying that the whole discussion is stupid because many players have been through the same thing and if it didn't change then, it shouldn't change now.
For these guys on tv all time best players are the most flashy highlight worthy players like magic and jordan. They were high % FT shooters but Wilt Russell Shaq and Kareem are not all time best or what is going on?
Skip Bayless taking Lebron's side on an issue?!
Is this a FAKE VIDEO?
Netret0120 he got paid for it 😂
Xae Wanderer Me too
Netret0120 😂😂😂I'm crying and couldn't even respond back for w min
smoove
Its not the first time
Joy is so uncomparably better than molly. She makes quick assessments, doesnt yell over them, and actually knows what shes talking about when she brings something up.
She really doesnt know anything. She's just a butthurt Heat fan that hates Lebron...
That comment does not include any other sports only NBA
K.J.M.K. who is Molly and what does she have to do with this show?
Mike K she is on first take
K.J.M.K. molly look better tho
They don't give LeBron the mvp no more because they don't want him to pass Jordan #FACTS
Aosa Aone I agree. Especially the derrick Rose year. I know what Rose did was amazing but Lebron averaged 29/8/8 and lead the heat past the Bulls in the playoffs and to the NBA finals. He choked and lost during the finals yes. But in my opinion he was robbed that year
Aosa Aone or because he isn't even the leading scorer on his own team
Where did u get that info? Lebron is averaging 26.3 points this season, their second leading scorer kyrie averages 24.2
+Tierre Jevon they choose mvp based off best player on the best record cus Dirk and Nash should not have won a mvp
Aosa Aone Who cares about regular season MVPs..It's all about Finals MVPs.. Lebron got 3 while Jordan got 6 Finals MVPs that include Two 3-peats..while Lebron got Zero 3 peats #Facts
Are there still ppl out there dumb enough that actually still believe that Kobe is better than LeBron?
El Cucuy Unfortunately, yes
El Cucuy is your head that far up that you think anyone that disagrees with you is dumb?
El Cucuy are idiots still comparing sg's with sf's? Yepppp
SlimZ: Lol thanks needed the laugh
Mike K: Can't disagree with facts
The amount of times he travelled while heading to the basket without getting called evens it all out, he's good.
Lo traveling doesn't equal your body getting punished on fouls and not getting calls
Lo Everyone traveled in league
Lo nobody gets called traveling at this point the NBA should just make the rule 3 steps because evryone does it
Just to add I'm not saying only him travels, because we all know a lot of traveling goes down in the NBA now lol.
Arnell Pearson lol I always always thought the same thing. There was even a point where I argued with some guys that were 100% positive that the NBA allow 3 steps until i pulled up the rules for them.
The officials got to respect THE KING
Marc Anthony Stinvil and you are his eunuch
The officials doesn't respect anyone period. As long as they get there money, they don't care period!!!!
He shut joy up REAL quick lol
jimenez1221 joy laughed it too but in her mind she was like, "yes daddy" 😂
Skip just made the dumbest argument I've ever heard on TV. The refs aren't calling fouls for Lebron cos they know he's a 68% free throw shooter?? Wat??
Kay Stone this dudes tripping
Kay Stone 😂😂so fkn glad someone said it.. I cant believe this is what he came up with
it evens out because he doesn't get called for many of his offensive fouls and all his travels... Hes good.
KyeStu Music everyone in the NBA travels its ridiculous
KyeStu Music Everyone travels tho
MasenkO.G. Everyone gets fouls in the NBA its ridiculous

Samer Kammoun Very well put analysis
Samer Kammoun W
Samer Kammoun finally someone with common sense and someone who's knowledgeable about the game of basketball and provides facts to prove his point
Samer Kammoun TRUE TRUE TRUE
No duh.. Ofc bron gets no calls bcuz of his size thts easy assessment...but at the same time fouls are called on high contact and shot altering contact..

well considering all the chargring and arm push offs he does, its even.
please LeBron gets most of the calls anyway
Teres Worrell no he doesn't and his disadvantage is he is stronger and bigger than the other guys so refs just let it go which is not fair cause sometimes it gets the player frustrated if he gets fouled a lot and doesn't get any call which eventually affects his game rhythm
+Teres Worrell Did you even watch the clip before posting your comments? James Harden has shot more than 175 FT than LeBron on only two more drives. Now the sports analyst that you are, can you give a good reason for that?
Rian Silawan I heard what he said but through his career he gets a good share of calls... No one will ever get every call
+Teres Worrell Every player gets a good share of calls but LeBron going to the basket almost the same time as James Harden and got 175 fewer FT attempts is not what you call a "good share of calls".

You may need to atleast try watching one of Cavs game moving forward for you to have atleast a few idea on what he is complaining about.
Tierre Jevon well put. Cant argue with that
Will LeBron win the MVP this year?
yes mark my word or Westbrook
UNDISPUTED ON FS1 if LeBron doesn't win it harden will , even though I think LeBron should win it every year harden is doing so much with his team and having a phenomenal year over Westbrook too because he has more wins and is second to him in triple doubles this year
I'm no LeBron fan, but he should have won NBA regular season MVP every year since 2011.
Lmfao no.
UNDISPUTED ON FS1 his always the mvp not even close we are looking at the greatest player ever lebron king james what a talent go cavs
You lay a finger on Lebron during the playoffs & it's a technical wtf is he talking about
Careful, your bias is showing.
Well maybe you don't lay your fingers on his balls huh
Greg Mercedes umm...can you please tell me ONLY 3 times in lebrons entire career that the refs actually called a tec on somebody that wasn't a tec in the playoffs!?cause Lebron every time he gets fouled right?
Greg Mercedes do getting kicked n punched in the nuts is not a tech..you clearly dont know what youre talking about
Greg Mercedes he doesnt get may calls in playoffs either
Perfect by Joy that shut Shannon down...."they don't call traveling on Lebron either"
Even when you start to think Skip is making valid points and defending LeBron, he goes and says something ridiculous about the refs and LeBrons FT %...
Almost every other superstar gets treated better by officials. But LBJ is such a strong finisher he doesn't get calls that most other players would get bc he powers through them. That's why he has to try to flop to get calls bc nobody can move him.
LeBron gets away with charging and running over people...he needs to stop crying
Are you serious??? LeBron who was swinging on the rim for 2 hours on Christmas day says the officials are unfair to him?!😲 LeBron shutup!!
lol ikr everyone of them looked past that
it was a foul and a timeout
Stephen C. Smith your only arguement is hanging on the rim during an intense play vs to rivals! -_-
FuqDaDeadOppsGdk watch the Christmas day game and then convince me that the refs don't like LeBron😂
Dominique Ballou LeBron was SWINGING not hanging! He swung long enough for the refs to see. No video replay no nothing! LeBron shutup!!
Badly? Refs have let him travel for years
That James Harden part killed me! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Its pathetic from LeBron to even mention that he is being treated badly. There are so many missed calls in the NBA why should you be an exception. There are games where he has run through players, fouled players, traveled and no whistle has been blown. Just recently in the finals the possession where Green got his suspension LeBron made 2 fouls and one technical and didn't get a call for one of the 3 times.

In the refs mind everybody should be a equal on the court and follow the same rules and LeBron is speaking like he should get a special treatment because he is a superstar.
Joy wants Shannon.
can they fine lebron for talking about officials?
tyler durden ..Can I fine U????
He gets away with more travels and flops than anyone in the league...
hahahaha i was dreaming when skip was praising lebron but i woke up when he said he'll missed 1 of those 2 free throws
this is the most ridiculous thing ive ever heard skip say. blaming lebron not getting foul calls because of his free throw % lol
Man I got these Meek fingers ready today 🔥🔥🔥
Lebron is a FLOP PLAYER!! He doesn't deserve to get the calls he wants.
Marty Moncibais Flop player?
dbachos Marty means that LeBron is GOAT
Marty Moncibais L
GOAT Flop player. Cry Baby James isn't happy if it's not his way.
Your mom took an L for giving birth to you.
LeBaby being treated badly by the refs ? WAIT WHAT WHEN ?????????????????????????????? Dude can do anything in the NBA, get any player in the nba.
If they're legitimately not calling fouls because of size and strength then yes that's absolutely rediculous, but we'll never know because we're not the refs.
Boi calling a euro step a travel smh what a valid argument
it's not a foul if the ball handler creates the contact............ take a better look 👀
Strong BlackMan your ears don't work bro? The coach ordered a foul, Sheldon Mack intentionally fouled him, and it wasn't called. Him initiating contact don't apply here.
It shouldn't be but it is. It has been for a while. All for the excitement of the game.
If you weren't entertained because it is just a sport then find something else. Rule changes and politics hurt the games.
Strong BlackMan lol exactly
+Noel DiMaggio Jr sir...... with all do respect just because the coach wanted a foul doesn't mean the player committed it........ again........ take a better look 👀
the real issue is the refs are treating teams unfairly in favor of Lebron
Thank you, Joy. 4:48
Tell that to all the uncalled travels in the last 13-14 years. For starters.
I can't call a small forward shooting 69% from the free throw line the best player.
I can.
Didnt LeBron played a one sided game on Christmas where he didn't had a technical called on him for taunting?
I would foul him everytime too lol
Skip Bayless is the Real MVP for this lmao! this is why i rock with skip
it wasn't disrespectful or I'm boasting about it, but I love how shannon put joy in her place, unlike joy, Molly just yells over them.
Joy was like a bomb with that little quiet statement. Speaking facts tho, I like it.
They really couldn't get the actual video clip of the game ?
I was at the game. LeBron was so much fun to watch !
Don't like Skip but he's right, 69% on free throws is really bad. 85% is quite high though. I feel like Lebron should be making in the high 70% for his free throws.
James Harden is more finesse driver than Lebrick who is a power driver
TheColecoVisionary Yet harden will be forgotten in 10 years while Lebron will be remembered as a top 2 player all time forever.
Lmao
TheColecoVisionary that is so not true James harden be flopping like crazy when he goes to the rim harden is great but he's not on lebron James level sir let's be real here
Are we going to just ignore the fact that Skip Bayless is defending LeBron James???!!!!!
This man has made a career out of hating LeBron.
this is a joke, biggest flopper in game today complains about refs? he's protected more then polar bears, i can't believe what i hear
He never gets calls
Shannon > SAS
Skip lost me when he said they dont give him calls because hes only 69% from the line..... FOH
I would say this about LeBron. He might not get the calls he deserves on offense, but he also gets away with plenty of calls on defense himself. I'm a LeBron fan but let's be fair. Does he deserve a few more free throws per game? Absolutely. But he also gets away with plenty of calls on the other end. Maybe that's veteran savvy, maybe it's being the best player in the world, idk.
I was going to agree with LeBron but realizing how much he does push off with his arm but I think refs do this with lots of players... when I'm watching games, refs pick sides in my eyes. Like I hate when Harden gets all those calls. It makes me mad
"He picks the ball up! Make sure he's got all his toiletries for an overnight stay..." lmao!!
are they not going to cover the d rose story? i didnt see anything today or yesterday about them covering that issue /......????
Skip taking it WAYYYY too far on this one LMAO
Your the man Skip - Skip Bayless
lebron is so underrated and he's been the best player in the world since day 1
I don't think what skip said about the refs being offended just seemed silly. I don't think they're really thinking that deep while they ref the game
Why don't they show highlights just still photos?? License rights or something
lmao @ 3:00 lololol
Shannon would benefit greatly from a few Debate 101 classes.
Wait a minute. Skip is saying that they don't call fouls on him because he might miss a FT. Lmboooo
Westbrook will win the MVP & GSW will win the NBA title.
No reason russell shoukd get mvp anymore with how harden has been playin. Russell is just padding stats for himself at this point while not only is harden getting triple double but his is carrying a sub par team of nobodies to winning streaks of 10 in the west. Harden should win hands down if he keeps this play up
Just because the ref calls out to foul doesn't mean the player actually did it...that's a pretty stupid argument.
When the refs start calling him for his infamous off-hand during his drives, then sure.
Skip agrees with LBJ...... Is it even possible...
Shannon's argument in this made no sense whatsoever. I'm pretty sure the people at FOX just give him a script and he just yells it out with little or no personal opinion.
Dez when your tenure is up with the Cowboys be prepped and ready to articulate and break down tape. #wevebeenherebefore
hows it a foul on defense? the offensive player ran toward the basket thru the defensive player
i have not watched basketball in a long time and im sure the rules are like such, but i just dont get why an offensive player can run into a defenseive player
Refs look at LeBron and don't call fouls because he'll miss and they care about his career?
WTF IS THIS CONSPIRACY THEORY?!
It's true lebron isn't getting more calls but don't say that "people of his stature" should be getting calls. A foul is a foul whether the person is a star or not.
y'all know y'all some real LeBron haters when even skip sides with LeBron on this. Take this L haters, LeBron will still win the MVP and the championship!
Joy never interrupts skip but always suck up to him. But always interrupts shannon. Stay neutral. Let shannon and skip go at it
shannon sharpe contradicted himself here
Lmao Skip still trolling
they finally giving him equal treatment
Skip hate Lebron so much he couldn't even take his side for a whole segment lmao 😂. Had to have a little dig lol.
I don't get It when the Refs was In the spotlight for this a week or 2 ago KD and Lebron came out defending them now there both complaining when they was just defending them cant have It both ways when Its not going your way
I love the complaints. Jordan got any call he wanted LeBron gets most but not all the calls he should
LMAO @2:57-3:05 This is why I love skip. he's not fooled by Lebronda
It was all going so well till 2:15 Skip and logic just don't go together when LBJ is involved
All time greats make Free Throws??? Ok, Skip probably doenst consider Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Moses Malone, Tim Duncan, Shaq all time greats... ok then
lebron misses free throws especially late in games right skip? besides the 3 free throws in a row in game 7 with 4 minutes left though combined with the 3 pointer he made to tie it. against the best team ever. no big deal, u got it skip.
Skip's gotta get off this superstar-freethrow thing. Tim Duncan, Shaq, and many other all time greats weren't great free throws.
Vince Carter was a better shooter who often went to the hole that got far less calls than James and I never heard anyone crying for him nor did I hear him crying about it. Just saying that the whole discussion is stupid because many players have been through the same thing and if it didn't change then, it shouldn't change now.
i thought labron was the commissioner they way he does whatever he wants like getting korver for nothin or taking 3 or 4 steps or swinging on rims.
Skip has a love/hate relationship with lebron lol
"This is deep psychology"
The league is rigged for lebron because he makes them the most money. Blaming the refs is only meant to distract you.
SHARPE IS SO OFF AS USUAL SKIP DEAD ON
Skip started well but he had to take a dig at Lebron there was no way this clip was going to end without him saying something bad about Lebron....
LeBron James still crying since draymond called him a mean name
Gordon Heyward..10-12 from the field for 28 points.
Jazz 100-92 and all these shows do is rely on cliché topics
I'm switching from 'First Take' to this, because of Shannon...
7 months ago I said that if Skip Bayless would ever agree with LeBron, I would drink my own piss.
😑
nice watch skip..1:50
Omg skip agreeing with lebron😮😮 end of the world???
For these guys on tv all time best players are the most flashy highlight worthy players like magic and jordan. They were high % FT shooters but Wilt Russell Shaq and Kareem are not all time best or what is going on?
I was like theirs no way Skip is taking Lebron's side. I was waiting for him to bash him somehow then boom free throw bashes lol
