Bron started in the league when I was a year old. Graduating from college this year and he's still balling. Unthinkable
Congratulations 💯🎉
bro bron played in the nba when i was 12 yo now my son is 13 yo and still playing like this😂😂😂
Wow
he started in the league when i was 10. 31 this year. guy is an inspiration for sure. he could play at a high level probably till 45. it really comes down to his mental more then physical. if hes feeling like continuing it or not. but there is no question he CAN
@@sauce7608 LeBron started to play in the NBA when I was 5 years old going to turn 6 on 8th December 2003.
As soon Bronny is in the NBA thats his final season,he did say thats one of his dream goal to play with his son.Appreciate greatness wont see another player of his caliber for a long time
Bronny ain’t going to the NBA. Kid had a heart attack from the jab and isn’t anything special on the court. Maybe play in Europe or G league. The younger brother is better
@Radioghost717 you lunatics are still out here obsessed with a vaccine thats no different than the various vaccines they put in you as a baby
The way bronny is playing.. he ain’t gonna be in the NBA for a bit. He’s barely a starter. He’s gonna be at USC for at least another year or two and there’s no guarantee he plays in the nba. He’s g league talent for sure tho
Bronny in the NBA G league maybe.
Not to knock Bryce but he wasn't no where near better than bonny when he was in high-school. Both got bright future. We can acknowledge them both without tearing one down. Bonny got lebron athleticism but Bryce don't. He got Bron height but not gift athleticism wise like bonny and Bron.
I can see him still putting up 20 ppg 4 years from now lol
This 20 ppg will come with a price tho, no defense, low hustle, etc
@@adelait4313meh half the league doesn’t defend
So basically what you saying is a washed up Lebron would look like a prime Penny Hardaway averaging 20,5,7 lol.
He would be a great sixth man for the Mavs when he's 42-44 tbh.
@@dwaynekeenum1916 yeah sure buddy
been watching Bron since I was born two years ago, and now I’m 50 and he’s still playing. Incredible athlete.
what😭
We all know he dont have much time...but im glad to watch him as fan instead of a hater....idk how the haters lasted so long lmao...he keep them pulling out their hair.
I don’t think anyone hates him as a player. Most of us just think he’s a weirdo that fakes reading 😂
@@ThePugilistPodcast lmao ....I can't defend on that... still the goat
@@ThePugilistPodcast nah most of his haters are irrational jordan/kobe fans or trolls
@@ThePugilistPodcastyea lol words from a hater who’s in denial 😭🤡👌🏾💯
he ducks the good teams
Cherish every minute and appreciate greatness as we may never see another LeBron James for a good while.
Who cares he sucks and he has a bad jump shot
You won't see another one ever for the simple fact he is the line in the sand between how the old game was played and the new game. You will never have a player of his size who can work the post fadeaway jumpers outside range and passing ever again. Not at that size and not in this new league
Yes everyone should cherish watching the turnover goat
@@user-sw7cr1mu5t”bad jump shot” yet he literally shot 9/10 from 3 today. u haters even hear yourselves?
@@DaveBtm998 I guess Kobe is the brick goat since he has the most shots missed! And Jordan must be the quitting goat since he retired 3 times! See how stupid your logic is.
He’s only going to be fully appreciated years after he retires, which is very unfortunate
Yep and when people views on their videos get low because they can't use him for views anymore 😂😂
We did this to Kobe. Did it to Jordan too. Its a cycle
He won't even be appreciated then. He was an insecure little man who had to form super teams to win any championships.
Facts
Alot of youtube accounts gone suffer the most when he do retire 😂
Bros been in the game for 20 plus and still is finding ways to make himself better. That’s crazy
How😂😂😂😂He is the same exact player he always been......The league is just softer than it's ever been
You mean the NBA is finding ways to get him to the Finals by making the Lakes have more than twice the free throw attempts of any other team all season? lmao
@@jakeequality8065 his shooting is much better than earlier shut the fuk up
When this guy retires, I’m literally gonna cry I’m not even joking right now, I wasn’t even born when he started his career until 6 years later and dude is still a top 10 player at 39, super grateful to witness LeGoat James career 🐐👑
Your father failed you. Crying over another grown man smh
@@MichaelElam2LeBron is actually a good role model. The kid didn't say he was gonna shed tears because Cardi B retired. Who raised you with that terrible take🎉.
his father probably beat him because he wasnt "man" enough@@hgoines1
@@hgoines1 Do you know Lebron personally? I didn’t think so. His father failed him and apparently yours as well. Grown men worshipping pro athletes like young women worship Drake. SMH
@@hgoines1Lebron is a terrible role model, tf you talking about 😂 Great Basketball player, though
Buddy in the background tryna clean himself after a game and cameras in there. Insane
You can tell he's new and don't know any better
Insane that you think this is new and insane.
Enlighten me as to what is wrong with this
He literally put his underwear on in front of cameras 😂😂😂
@JohnSmith-pg9ns hey maybe that guy don't see nothing wrong cause that's his thing it is 2024 things are different 😅
I know my age and my time doesnt go to waste because I have witnessed Lebron played since 2003. No regret for being one of his biggest fan.
I think after next season Bron will call it a career. Going out at age 40. Nothing more to prove... 👑
nah gonna depend. I think it will depend on his injury status.... If he stays relatively healthy and has another season similar to this year, he might start looking at where he can finish his career and sneak in another chip. also depending what happens w Bronny.
He not going anywhere until he get them 2 rings
@@ReyJones-fy6xlhe’s done chasing that. He’s beat Michael in every other feat
@@SlsNetwork Michael won more championships, with a weaker supporting cast and during a tougher era of basketball. MJ GOAT confirmed.
@@marioricardo903 Absolutely not the tougher era of basketball. The versatility of players today is far better. Since 2010, we are seeing even the 3rd option player on a given team being able to put up 20 PPG which was an all star thing back in the day. The talent for the top 25-100 is wayyy better now than in the past. On top of this, players change teams more freely these days than before
Give Bron his flowers now, appreciate greatness when he’s gone there will never be another, i do think Wemby, Luka, Tatum, Morant, Edwards and SGA will carry the League
Don't forget Giannis, Jokic and Halliburton... but the difference is LeBron carried the face of the league by himself for 20 years now, and though superstars, not one of the guys we mentioned is showing the ability to do it the way Bron has ... going to be interesting to see who carries the torch/ fills the vacuum he'll leave behind
Luka is the closest thing to Lebron rn minus the athleticism
@@mrloyal_gains Lukas game is similar on the court only --- and yes obviously wayyy less athletic relative to age lol... but to be face of the NBA it's been so much more than on the court game - it's the winning (10 straight finals etc), the public persona, the leadership, social involvement, managing all the attention, the league, etc....
@LysergiCoyotl: Lebron did not carry Face of The League by his self for 20 years, Kobe was the face of the league during Lebron’s first run in Cleveland & you could at most say around 2009-2010 they were the 2 faces in that order. When Lebron went to Miami is when you can say he carried it by his self, then around 2016 you could say that Steph became the official 2nd face. Like a Magic & Bird type situation
@@marckusduverger9776 ok kind of pedantic but sure ... not saying there's just one face at a time, just that Brons been bigger and more present in the public and international eye than everyone by a lot for a long time ... Its more like Jordan and Bird bro ... lol
What a career, its surreal to think he is still going , i remember him turning 30 years old and thinking the decline can only be lurking around the corner and here he is all this time later. Still physically able to dominate any game but mentally you can see he is not always engaged with the game, i will miss watching this man grace the court when its all said and done
Dude plays the same as he did 15 years ago 😂
When you love playing as much as he does, he doesnt want to talk about retiring. It hurts to think about. Stop asking him and just enjoy watching him while hes here.
Look at the difference of how men are treated in these locker rooms. Imagine having interviews in women locker rooms with women putting their drawls on in the background..
he got at least 2 more years in him
I can see him playing 3 to 4 more years
Next season is his last
I was in sixth grade lebrons rookie season... I am now 31 hahaha
Bro I wasn’t even born until 6 years, I’m 14 now and dude is still a top 10 player, I’m really gonna miss bron when he retires
I've been watching him along side Derick rose and Kobe Bryant since I was 10 now I'm 22 lol
Sir u had to been in the 5th grade I was in the 7th I'm 33
@@itzmarvinplays1605top 10 all time or in the NBA?
@@Romeferlano nah august birthday will be 32 this year
We need lebron playing for the next ten years so my nephew can witness greatness
That doesn’t make any sense 😂
His Nephew is obviously too young to appreciate greatness right now and he's hoping Bron plays another decade so his nephew can become old enough to comprehend James's greatness in the league. Makes perfect sense lol @@yeti_369
No you need him to play so you can ride his nutz
I mean curry still got some years left. Hes the best shooter to ever live so theres that lol. Theres just unfortunately not another bron
@@tm81147lol curry has 2 more years in him max.
you can tell that the he heard the nets say they would give up 3 point shots if they have to and he took that personally lmaoo he was staring the bench down after every shot i was wondering why this makes more sense now
2:25 bruh was careful to change with the towel on knowing he was in frame, went commando though…
Diddy^^^
@@daboxingscholarlmaoo I guess that’s the new thing 😂😂😂
@@whois5991 🤣🤣
I do the same thing when I’m at the gym
I don’t think we will ever see Lebron become a shell of himself that can only put up 10-15 points a night. He will retire before that happens.
Dude is working on that 3 ball. On a team he doesn't have to lead, he would be a problem post up sniper with the occasional flashback of chase down defense.
15 ppg ain’t even bad for any player
I hope that LeBron gets at least one more title before he retires with the Lakers.
Same
They should really have some privacy to put their clothes on in locker rooms without cameras. Dude putting his underwear on in front of us is ridiculous really. Unless we can also get these kind of shots in WNBA locker rooms they should show males the same kind of respect.
Would be interesting to see but we ain't getting that😅
Lol
Definitely wild. I can't believe the players are so nonchalant about it. Weird.
It’s definitely an ayo pause moment. Dude came out in a barcode towel and getting fully changed. Can’t even focus on Lebron talking lol
You had a point until your twisited point about the WNBA which just make you sound like a pervert.
Brons game has been consistent his whole career #Greatness
Yall would rather see MJ come back at his age than give lebron his flowers 💐 😢
Facts .
Of course… what that man did for basketball is unrivaled
Absolutely
@@marcusb.8974 He didn't do squat, other than invent some other meaningless shoe brand lmao. Seriously name something that actually changed because of him specifically
@@nogeagor971the shot selection
We can never see anyone like lebron again in the leave after he retire😢
I think he'll play 2 more years and break the record for most seasons played. Considering how he's playing he could easily play until Bryce theoretically makes it to the NBA though.
That’s why we need to appreciate this man’s greatness. Not long to go😢🐐💪
He's got at least 5 years left Brady inspired him to play till he's 40+
Facts but he prolly only do like 3
His sons get in he ghosting 😔
Except a quarterback is not as physically active as a basketball player. Brady wouldn't play until 46 if he was a basketball player.
@@KingRashford10 ForeSure
I say 3 or 4, with 1 ring... imo but i am reaching a lil 😅
Bucket-List:
- Bronny get in the League
- Play with or against
- maybe Bryce?🥶
- Retirement that same Season

Not gonna happen
Bronny is more than likely .. bryce? not happening.
@@yeti_369 #peace which-part⁉️
@@GuyVick #peace yea Bryce I wrote to put into the Ethos
@@pay_it_forward_franklin4469 All of it. Bronny not going to the NBA, and Bryce is like 16?
For as much as he’s hated, his story, and the money made from his hype entering the league is going to be an anomaly for a long time. So many greats left the game during his tenure and once he and Steph officially step away, then it’s going to be felt during the biggest moments in the future of the NBA.
It’s like hearing Superman is retiring man. I’ve never been to an NBA Game in my life, always wanted to go and see this guy play though. Hope I get the chance before he retires.
Where do you live or whos your team? I be happy to send you some money so you can go to your first NBA game.
Why can the media not wait in their media rooms rather than going into the locker room. Is not normal.
They’re in there because they were cleared to enter.
Most of his old teammates on the Cavaliers his first run are retired so as his former Heat teammates especially D-Wade and Bosh, also Cavaliers second run are retired except Kyrie, K Love and Tristan and Lakers only Rondo is retired and yeah LeBron still keep playing
The fact he said this after putting up 40 on 17 shots, shooting 90% from the 3 is insane 😂😂😂
I came to the us in 2004, it was still Bron’s first year going on to his second, I was 5. I’m 25 now and this man is still dominating the league, and he is as efficient as ever. Even as a person who studies the brain I cannot wrap my brain around that kind of excellence. Truly one of a kind.
Man we gone miss bron when he is gone watch even the haters gone miss him like skip lol
Brons gonna retire in year 23! Not only is that number iconic with both him & the NBA but it also breaks the record for most seasons played AND Bronny will be in the NBA!
Might cry when he retires I’ve been watching him my whole life got in a whole lot of arguments defending him Also so he’s my GOAT 🐐
1:08 bro…My man with the hat…Pause! 😂
Brother was staring for a while 😂
Bro is my idol. He’s just 5 years older than me and I looked up to him since 18 til now. Crazy how time has flown when you’ve been watching someone’s whole career
Retire at 46 Lebron. This was a video game performance! You're still playing at a high level.
Glad i went to the game today . Idk if it'll be the last time i get to see him in person but it was a blast 40pts 9 3's
Lol Reaves in the background 😅
I will admit, I am not a LeBron fan because of some of his antiques, and because of his insatiable appetite to control the narrative, and to get people to buy into him being the goat, and he does it forcefully, but I will have to admit that he is one of the greatest player that I’ve ever witnessed and he’s one of the greatest player that has ever played game The NBA will definitely not be the same with him gone, but that will be great players in the near future just as they are great players right now..
Idk what Hill Lebron on, cause Jake not on that b**** 😂😂. Shooting 9/10 at 39 is crazy work 💯
Boy oh boy where do i even begin....
No one talks about Vince Carter longevity 😢
Cut clean af
40P 7R 5A on 102%Ts is INSANE🔥🔥🔥
I NEED TO GO TO WATCH BRON NEXT SZN
I’m so grateful to watch him play 🥹
I was 3 years old when Bron came into the league. Graduated college almost 2 years ago and he just put up a 40 ball😭built different
Appreciate greatness and stop the hate, going to be sad when he decides to hang it up.
You are my sunshine my oly sunshine, u keep my happy when skies are grey 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
Check out Luka’s scoop shot just inside the 3 point line 😮
I have never seen that before 🤪
MVP Luka there goes the Baddest Man Alive!!!
👑James All Time Leading Scorer
He’s still got it
I’m against him in his every match because I was born in 2003 and I’m a Spurs and warrior fan but I admit it I’m gonna Miss his game when he retires
When Kobe announced his farewell tour the as such a bitter sweet day one one like him ever and gonna be same with him
How He defeated one of the most receding hairlines in modern & ancient history is still a mystery to the masses.
LeBron In 2030... "the end is nearer... I miss my grandsons (Brony and Bryce's), I want to be in Zuri's HS graduation..... Since Luka retired I feel like the lone guy..."
you are my sunshine ☀️
Boy oh boy where do I even begin. Lebron… honey, my pookie bear. I have loved you ever since I first laid eyes on you. The way you drive into the paint and strike fear into your enemies eyes. Your silky smooth touch around the rim, and that gorgeous jumpshot. I would do anything for you. I wish it were possible to freeze time so I would never have to watch you retire. You had a rough childhood, but you never gave up hope. You are even amazing off the court, you're a great husband and father, sometimes I even call you dad. I forvever dread and weep, thinking of the day you will one day retire. I would sacrifice my own life it were the only thing that could put a smile on your beautiful face. You have given me so much joy, and heartbreak over the years. I remember when you first left clevenland and its like my heart got broken into a million pieces. But a tear still fell from my right eye when I watched you win your first ring in miami, because deep down, my glorious king deserved it. I just wanted you to return home. Then allas, you did, my sweet baby boy came home and I rejoiced. 2015 was a hard year for us baby, but in 2016 you made history happen. You came back from 3-1 and I couldn't believe it. I was crying, bawling even, and I heard my glorious king exclaim these words,
"CLEVELAND, THIS IS FOR YOU!" Not only have you changed the game of basketball and the world forever, but you've eternally changed my world. And now you're getting older, but still the goat, my goat. I love you pookie bear, my glorious king, Lebron James. 🥰❤🫶🏽
Lebron will only be appreciated properly when he retires. I feel blessed being the same age and being able to watch this guy through his whole career! What an incredible athlete and person! ❤️
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
I'll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me to love another
You'll regret it all some day
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
You told me once dear, you really loved me
And no one else dear, could come between
But now you've left me and love another
You have shattered all my dreams
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
Hope he play till he's 45 like Brady.. he can easily do it if he wanted to 🐐
They always ask that. Just enjoy the moment and the greatness. I say one to two more years
So glad I got to witness this career from start to finish. Unbelievable. He's the goat.

LBJ he has been my favorite basketball 🏀 Player Since 2003💯 #Icon
He cannot wait for Bonnie and Bryce to join him in the nba anymore. He can just join them for a game with the same team as them, no need to do a season.
Appreciate greatness while he's still here!
I’m a Boston fan, this man has been our biggest enemy the past 20 years. Regardless, I’m glad I had the opportunity to watch him play because there isn’t going to be another player like him. For sure the goat
I think he has 5+ years left. Tom Brady retired at 45 and I think LeBron’s longevity can make him still play in his 40s 🐐👑
Still waiting on wnba locker room interviews. It’s equality or something like that right
Watching bron reminds me all the time I’m getting close to his age. I was 15 when he got drafted. Now I have a kid the same age as Bryce. I give him 3 more years. 4:07 he’s trying to wait on Bronny. But he’s needs to stay in college longer
This mans back is definitely giving out on LA. 1 more time in Cleveland
He’s done all he can do. Let’s give the man his flowers. No comparisons. Just respect the work.
Lebron got drafted 2 years before i was born, now im 18 glad to see him still playing and get sad when he retire
It’s an April Fool’s prank
Catch and shoot. Push off your defender a little bit, and, get open Lebron. That would be sick. Similar to this performance.
I think he's got about 2 seasons after this one, finishing at 41, I don't think he wants to be in a position where he will only average about 15 or less a game, for the next two years he could easily average about 20-25
PLEASE GOLDEN STATES BUY LEBRON, IT WILL BE A GREAT PRIZE FOR ALL THE TEAM'S FANS AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE CURRY WIN ANOTHER TITLE...!!! 🙏🙏🙏

It's obviously true but hearing him actually say "I don't have much time left" is crazy. He's been playing for most or all of a lot of people's lives. When he retires, it will be the end of an era and difficult to process.
