This is why this show is great. None of the tv networks would ever let Kevin Love talk about this for so long and it’s actually interesting instead of screaming about Frank Vogel. Kevin Love knows better than almost anyone what it’s like to be on a Lebron led team and to go through the media circus that it brings. Great stuff as always
I really enjoy seeing from these perspectives, instead of reading emotion fueled headlines. This is truly an educational show.
Facts love this podcast.
K.D hinted at this 2-3 years ago
Thanks for listening and the kind words.
Agree!
Love how JJ does this podcast and still finds time to give Stephen A. the work on First Take
That's a beautiful and articulate gift he has
😂😂😂
😂😂
Lord knows, he be giving SAS all he can handle & more 😮💨😭
Not hard to…. JJ is an all time great shooter and high b-ball IQ guy….. Stephen A is…. Well….. Stephen A.
Hope Kevin knows how much Cleveland loves him forever. Cemented Legacy.
The basketball community as a whole. K Love is a stand up dude 🙏🏽
Will retire his jersey when he was done basketball for sure
Are you guys insane.
@@warrenbuffettjr.8743 They got to be...
@@warrenbuffettjr.8743 Yeah something has to be wrong with them and it shows Cleveland loves mediocre players. Retire loves jersey for what? I would think he would need to do more than just be on the team🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
Man Cleveland is balling this year love watching Darius Garland work and the resurgence of K Love there catching the league way off guard and I hope they make a good playoff run
Mobley future dpoy and mvp
@@lancewilliams8001 oh yeah
@Brother Nature
I don't think so.
They want DG to be the franchise player. That’s why they been tryna get rid of Sexton & Love to improve the roster.
Lauri just got injured
If I was someone of Bron’s or Brady’s status I’m definitely demanding birthday and Christmas gifts from the media because whenever they run out of new topics they go back to the guys that bring the most clicks every time
The best gift they could give them is to stop writing about them for 1 week during their birthday week. Gifts are Nothing to these types of people
@@neilsmith9066 those 2 love the attention just not as much when it's negative both are egomaniacs
@@skmmlk5379 you don't even know them. How can you say that about someone you don't know
@@dinaldlasur3294 I can say that just like everyone says what they think simple
@@skmmlk5379 they been playing for about 20 years each.. I’m sure they’re over the attention
Love how Kevin added "and motivated" about ADs impact when returning. That's been a big concern so far.
SAS literally lives rent free in your fanboys’ heads LMFAOOOOOO how embarrassing man
AD isn't motivated cause he won a chip and cemented his legacy. at least thats what ive heard.
@@baldeagle4710 yup he's cool with his legacy right now, he ain't tryna be the best or take in all that responsibility especially after lebron retires.
@@baldeagle4710 Its not just rumours its proven in the way he's played. Last season he was doing actually pretty decent up to the injury but this season he has for sure regressed. Idk if its cause of the injury but dude used to be so unstoppable at mid range back in 2020. He barely makes and shoots them now, even his 3pt shot is bad so you can't even call him a stretch big man anymore
My guy was nodding the entire time Kevin was talking. That's talent lmao
😩😂😂
Lmao, human bobble head!
And during JJ asking the question too 😂
10 years from now they will say bro still nodding his head
Seriously he was just like yeah yeah uh uh totally keep talking guys
Darius Garland is a revelation. A true clutch performer that makes everyone better. Love is such a luxury on the young Cavs Team. A champion that understands what it takes to win in the NBA.
💯
The first time I saw Darius, I immediately saw some similarities between him and CP3.
There is video of him working of his craft and in the background is Ben Simmons bricking shots.
I hope his mouth doesn’t get him in trouble because there are times that he speaks like Kyrie, as if he’s the one
Honestly feel like he’s started to play this well b/c of sextons absence.. now they have levert
Can’t say enough how much love hoops fans have for what JJ is doing because he’s addressing the juicy media stuff but keeping it realistic and respectful and genuine as a former player and colleague of these guys. So much respect.
Exactly!! Does it in a way where it feels real/genuine and down to earth instead of like TMZ-Sports or something loool. He really gets his guests(players) to be comfortable and open up honestly (to the most extent they can considering privacy/locker room integrity) to all the stories, dynamics, and legendary moments the fans really want to know about.
S/o to u JJ, you really blessing all us real hoop fans with this Podcast bro..keep up the good work my guy!
JJ be discussing some underrated topics . None of that media bs .
This is why media needs to have outlets ran by people that are experts in their field 💯🔥
That's why the Pat McAfee show is so damn good.
Not sure if Kevin will ever see this but thank you so much for talking about mental health and mental anxiety as an athlete. This is something I wish I had coming up. You are saving many alive. You are needed and very much respected. I am thankful to have you in today’s sports culture. Your presence and perspective is so necessary.
Much respect to all of you, thank you for being real about Lakers. I haven’t heard anybody talk straight up about the Lakers in months. If you can believe it, some stories saying trade AD. Thanks a million.
A lot of people don’t even understand how great Kevin Love was, he definitely was one of the best Forwards in the league
Kevin Love is always a great guest on this show. His answers and thoughtfulness are fascinating. Just a shame there was no wine this time :(
Whether you love him or hate him, no one can deny that there has never been a player whose every single minute on the court has been scrutinised and put under a microscope like Lebron has. 19 years of that and counting, still championship or bust at 37, partly due to himself but It’s good to have some perspective while analysing these things.
It’s a product of this era and social media. People weren’t reacting to and nitpicking every single play before.
Yeah I've no doubt if modern social media was around in Jordan or Magics playing days they'd have faced a similar level of nitpicking.
You are absolutely right
@@kaminsod4077 The media was different back then they wouldn't go out of their way to assassinate a person's public image, they kept star's secrets.
@@KWU_369 for the right price of course. Also “everyone” (ie anyone with a phone) wasn’t automatically a reporter back then
he put that microscope on himself you cant call yourself the king and best player in the league, greatest ever etc then join super teams consistently after not being able to win a ring then throw your teammates, coaches, gm under the bus when you lose and expect no one to criticize him
I love Reddick podcast, he brings many things to the table that the media cant do.
On behalf of the entire city of Hong Kong, Tommy- ya passed the vibe check wit dat cap 😎
What I find ironic is LeBron haters love to say "he throws his teammates under the bus". I've never heard LeBron say any of his teammates are to blame for a loss or that he couldn't pass to a teammate cause they sucked. Kobe did. Jordan did. Kwame can attest to that. And what I find truly ironic is wen Kobe calls smush trash in front of an audience and room of reporters they cheer him on. If lebron ever said "JR Smith cost me the 2018 finals, I couldn't even pass to him" the way Kobe did about smush parker, y'all would say he was making excuses. Funny that LeBron never once stated any of his teammates cost him a game or series , Jordan and Kobe have but LeBron is the one who throws teammates under the bus? Naw more like the media and fans on social media. LeBron himself had never said outright that any of his teammates were bums. Jordan and Kobe have.
Lebron is great. But he has taken advantage of a new era of NBA where players determine where they go play and who they go play with. This wasn’t available to Jordan or Kobe (for most of his career). Just different how they won. Jordan won within the team with players put together by the GM. Same for Kobe. Stayed on the same team and won. They had great players no doubt. Lebron goes to a team with intent to reshape through FA and via trades to maximize the winning window for Lebron. Just wins differently in my book.
@@hh-jy1ld rodman was traded to them ?
@@hh-jy1ld shiiiddd 😂😂😂when the bulls told MJ they wanted to draft Mcgrady MJ said I’m leaving If you draft that kid 😂😂 MJ and Kobe had more power than you think
Scrutiny comes with the teritory
But most of these sports analysts forget about context as well as a quick reality check.
Bring Kevin love to LA!!! Love that dude!
No the lakers won’t do anything but make him a scapegoat
Him and ad whew
He can't play defense. Nah
Mr. Redick, absolutely golden content. We appreciate the insight you bring with these uploads just as much as we appreciated your sharpshooting on the hardwood. Cheers!
JJ got a serious future in broadcasting bruh. Love to see it. From pulling up 10 ft behind the 3pt line at Cameron to this.
K Love!!!! A Cavs legend and future HOF ❤️
No
@@Bspradling033 Yes.
People forget how nice K.Love was when he was in his prime and the number 1 option on his own team… granted I would pass that up to play with Bron and compete for/win a championship in a heartbeat too but Kevin was a MONSTER
Was a top 2-3 PF in the league in his prime, people really forget
@@koga477 yea I don’t see how lol he was an absolute monster on the boards and scoring and his passing was pretty good too
"it's easier on paper, than reality"
I think had the Lakers kept KCP and Caruso they would have been better right now
Definitely better with Caruso. They have no defense right now.
Nothing buts facts should have kept Kcp and Caruso
Did y’all not see what they did in the playoffs last year they sucked when they actually needed them they ain’t do shi y’all skip over the 21 season and go to the bubble like there wasn’t many factors in which lead them to win
And traded for demar or buddy hield instead of westbrook
@@xXxALeXFuTexBaLxXx everyone and their momma knew Westbrook wouldn't be a good fit idk what the front office was thinking
Will Bron ever get to rest ? He is a economy to Himself I couldn’t imagine that life.
He will rest when he retires
Kevin love always is the one of my favourite player,because of his mild. He is serious to answer that question,using heart.Cavalier is sure a uniting team before.I love Kevin and LeBron.
Kevin love needs a podcast
Great chat. Kevin and JJ *were* right in a way, the Lakers turned the corner from a team that *could* beat anyone, to a team everyone can beat. Ask Reggie Jackson and the Clippers lol
It’s not just that he’s the greatest of his generation and in the GOAT talk. He’s also so charismatic and polarizing. He’s so successful in so many ways and has done so many things no one else has done. Just look at his friend group running Hollywood and owning teams. Not to mention his in the court stuff. Not to mention he’s spoken up about political things and other beliefs. Even his biggest haters follow every move he does and watched every post he’s in.
Not to mention his choice to stay quiet about human rights in China so he can keep making money from his shoes
@@ShmacK96 why doesn’t Jordan say anything? He’s made more money off Nike than any other athlete and it’s not close. What about people who wear adidas and under armor like Steph curry? Those are all made by China and Vietnam mostly. You can’t just pick and choose who you want to hate on Bc they hurt your feelings😂
@@ShmacK96 lmaooo exactly he loves talking about political stuff if he knows he can get money from it but once he gets the opportunity to talk about politics and lose money then he doesnt want to talk about it and focus on just basketball and just shut up and dribble
@@ShmacK96 compared to the glorious US military industrial complex, Bron is making pennies from Chinese money.
@@brandonmyers6 Jordan doesn’t speak on political issues to begin with. Let alone only when it benefits him... SHUTUP AND DRIBBLE
Best nba podcast hands down
Worst nba podcast ever
@@aristalion9062 why ?
Kevin's eye roll at 2:49 says it all
“That LeBron guy is efficient” 😂can’t argue that.
No matter what, you always expect Lebron to just be there at the end of the year. Even in year 19 at 37 years old. Craziness. I was looking to see what time NFL started and to see the Bucs with a 40 something-year-old QB that I used to hate..and now root for...we should enjoy this while we can. It may be the start of a new trend of players playing longer but we will have to see.
its def a new trend, we see across sports, people playing longer than ever
Yea and I think is something we taking for granted players being in their 40s playing like prime players that’s Insane ion think we will ever see sum like this again what Brady and bron doin like it’s too many factors that come into play injury’s etc.. like we def take them for granted and personally ion don’t think it’s a trend injury’s are starting to be but what they are doin is an anomaly I feel
Well put. I used to root against Bron and Brady. Now I just have to recognize and appreciate their greatness while we have it.
@@chrisayo8687 yes you will lol these dudes be on HGH and testosterone therapy,the legends never had that
@@Ninjersey1 whatever helps you sleep at night lol
I don't really wanna call the pressure on Bron unfair because great is expected from Greatness. But what I will say is unfair is the way his greatness is, and has always been, measured/compared. He never had the opportunity to carve out his own place, it turned out that way but he never had that chase, and still kinda doesn't now. He was always compared to Jordan. Many of the GOATS got the opportunity to just be them, Kobe put pressure on himself by choice, but Bron. He never had any other option but to beat 6-0 in the Finals. The fact that he's in Mt. Rushmore convos speaks to what he's done on it's own, but people wanna take it all away because his path wasn't like Jordan's
Facts. But he is the 1st player to ever live up to the hype of being called the nxt Jordan everyone else crumbled immediately. That is self speaks volumes of how great he is. And Jordan got to become Jordan. Jordan never had the pressure LeBron has had. And I dnt think Jordan's the goat even if I take LeBron out the equation. Jordan created kobe and that was selfish basketball. I A magic guy to be honest.
What? Kobe was heralded as the next mj too wtf u talking abt but pole aint like kobe cuz of his personality then the Colorado incident bron made his name in cleveland and unlike mj or kobe decided to leave to team up with another top 5 player to tun the table u forgot not 1 not 2 etc? He had a whole half hour eson special based on where he was going if tht doesnt tell u how bigheaded and unloyal he was to his own city he just wanted to go play with his friends lost in horrible fashion the 1st yr when on paper they shuda won then they beat the baby okc when none were in their primes but ok he leaves wade who was still good for a yr goes to cleveland gets wiggins and others traded cuz he wanted k love also during that season he got niggas traded and got wade and d rise and others there then after a month got them traded he is the reason kyrie doesnt wanna be there anymore then soon as they get swept he leaves to go to the lakers where he repeats his behavior again getting guys traded gets ad geta a 2 month break during the bubble which enables them to get healthier and they win the chip now again the wheels are falling off and cleveland and miami are finally good again no thanks to him who continually by his gm moves guts the team he just left and their bad for yrs
Kareem and wilt are better than both
Good to see K. Love on the show! One of the classiest guys in the NBA.
Not really
y’all should link the full episode in the description of these clips
Its the medias fault. AND NOBODY ELSES. THEYRE THE ONES CONSTANTLY EVERY SINGLE FKING DAY. BLAH BLAH BLAH. SAME ISH EVER SINGLE FN DAY TRYING SELL THEIR BS NARATIVES. Quit trying to blame fans with or against. Its the media building the fire to begin with. And then they try to deny any accountability about it. Its obsurd.
Thank u!!!! One of the only nigga in this stupid comment section with common sense 😂
Kevin love speaking facts. Rather you hate him or love him; he has your attention. Lebron is unique in that way. The biggest box office stars in no order. Kobe, LeBron, MJ. And in my opinion, those are the top 3 guys ever. The next one up when it comes to box office was Shaq.
Probably Wil back in the day aswell
Naw Bron number 1and it's not close, even adjusted for inflation Bron still number 1 Mike is number 2 and Shaq is number three. Kobe will always hold a special place in my heart and memories. He's number 4 in money, but next to LeBron and Rodman then Kobe, Ben Wallace. Those my favorite players.
The top 3 is
1. Kareem
2. Wilt
3. Jordan
@@lamarbragg2337 Kareem and wilt would squash Lebron
Kareem and wilt just didnt have the media machine that Jordan had behind him to push all the narratives about him
LeBron James is so interesting man. He is a living legend and I feel like there is never ”normal week” with him.
Always something going on with the team or some off court drama.
Its Crazy how much impact he has on and off the court and I just appreciate how Ridiculously big Superstar this man is. He might be corny and selfish some times, but there will always be somebody to talk about him..
That sounds like a headache & a half if that's the case he's excited for those "normal" weeks
Even after all that he remains a family man, role-model, and never once had terrible allegations about him
@@jvostudio FACTS 👑 only he could deal with the hate he get for being a good guy
Drama Queen James
@@jvostudio that’s all gone come out after he retires
That 2017-18 season Kevin Love is talking about the Cavs went 50-32
The Chinese characters on the cap is hilarious: "Yo, have you eaten?"
I feel like players give the same answer any time they are asked what they think of another player. Like no one has a legitimate point to make about the team or players struggling
Our Lakers fan dream is a Kevin Love buyout 😂😂 even thou I know it won't happen but I can dream
"3rd seed? Making the playoffs? Match-ups..." lol, this did not age well !!
Kevin Love & JJ is always Gold 🤞🏾🔥🔥
A motivated AD... Talk that talk
People forget how long it took for the cavs to gel together. I swear they had an almost identical record as the lakers at this stage as well, and they ended up making the finals.
But you forgot that 2018 Bron was on another level monster. He could play like 46 minutes in a game at an extremely high level on both ends. Rn Bron is still great offensively but he cant play on both ends at super elite level so finals this season is a long shot unless we see return of ADisney
They were also in the East which was weak at the time especially compared to the West now
@@kedrprao he wasn’t playing both ends lol, he was way better offensively though.
@@Christian-eq6pq the west now is weaker than the east
@@kedrprao he’s talking about 2015 not 2018
I agree.
ALL, of it.
Perfectly stated, as well...
Klove is a good dude. The only player from 2016 Cavs roster who still speaks highly of Lebron.
The Lakers don't have a BIG 3. It's LeBron and a bunch of guys!
AD isn't even a Top 15 player anymore.
They do have a big 3. Stop the excuses, and own up to it. Its not our fault they chose the wrong guys to mesh together.
@@UltimateQball here is the small crumb of attention you're looking for.
@@yslcologneconnoisseur7473 You're making assumptions. Good day to you too.
Agree 💯
The small lineup only works if the center can actually shoot and the problem is AD has been a disastrous jump shooter this year. You also lose a lot of defense and rebounding when you go small to help Russ. The only solution is to cut down Russ's minutes dramatically
With AD at the 5 and bron at PF...this is not a small lineup..the GSW death 5 is the real small lineup..and AD and LeBron shoot way way better than Dray and Iggy..but of course the lakers has no players who can shoot the ball as good as Steph, Klay, and KD..
@@antoniouy9704 ad is shooting 18%. His jumper is terrible this year, maybe cause he bulked up or his injuries. But yeah Bron is becoming a more promising perimeter threat
Humble. Real guy
Would have liked to hear some inside stories about how that team interacted and regarded David Blatt as a coach
It’s very unfair.. just appreciate greatness people.. every player will have at least a couple bad seasons but it shouldn’t take away from what they’ve accomplished
The thing is, LeBron had a terrible performance against the 2011 Mavs doing worst than Jason Terry, just to name one example we all know, but his lovers kept talking about him like he was the best player ever no matter what, people that probably has no idea who Larry Bird was. Sure LeBron is a great player but not the best ever, you can easily tell just with that and many other examples of his career, but when people keep pushing that argument you are going to have a lot of fights, which is another thing media feeds from, so just to say "appreciate greatness" is too lame, all the hate and love towards LeBron and other players is something way deeper and complex, it doesn't get solved with an "appreacite greatness" argument.
Nah bruh Westbrook was playing bad even with AD stop using that excuse everytime someone not there.
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 why bro always shaking his head up down n Kevin was doing it with him at the beginning 🤣🤣🤣
Narrator: “They never figured it out”
He's the greatest basketball player at the moment of course he's going to get scrutinized
?????? Ok
Ofc, but hes been that for 20 years in the social media era, previous bests didn't have to deal with that
K Love meant to say Lebron has shot over 50% for his career incase anyone was wondering
It was a joke
Massive respect to The Old Man and the Three
Some say the guy in the top left is still nodding his head 😭
I'll never forget the cavs reporter asking Kyrie VER...F U C K IN...BATIM
"What type of parental role does he play for you and your teamates...?"
I kinda understand why Kyrie wanted out☠☠☠☠
I love how, when MJ came to wizards with 38 years old everybody was like its ok he is old, and when he play a 30pt game they say HE IS THE BEST HE CAN SCORE 30 FOR ONE GAME EVEN WHEN HE IS OLD...But now when Lebron is 38, and basically averaging 30, everybody is like WHY IS HE NOT DOMINATING THE LEAGUE, CHAMPIONSHIP OR BUST, bla bla bla...
Are you seriously comparing playing in the 90 and playing in the late 2000?
Training, equipment, diet, injuries recovery......
There is a big difference
Bron be saying they’re going to win though
No he don’t stfu
Nobody had jordan and wizards winning it all. Lebron built this laker team for titles. Mjs wizards would smack this lakers team
at the 1:14 mark why does bro scratch his neck and then sniff his finger?? lmao
Kevin ‘YA KNOW’ Love
This video is a great example, bron on the thumbnail and in one hour has more views than other vids. Crazy.
Even more than being one of if not the greatest players ever, LeBron has a certain aura and charisma that attracts attention whether good or bad. Before he even entered the league and was still in HIGH SCHOOL, he was the most scrutinized sports player in probably all of history, think about that insanity.
Love Tommy's cap, it says "Eaten rice yet" in canto
man this is the best sports podcast out there
Not to say the scrutiny is fair. BUt given the amount of pay each player gets paid-then playing witha player like LBJ- you have to expect scrutiny.
They obviously expect criticism, but it's way too much. Mostly due to the media talking heads and fans who hate.
The scrutiny is not coming from how much many the players are making. If Lebron wasn't on the Lakers team the scrutiny would be different. There are many teams in the NBA that are not playing well.
LeBron is the best story in the history of sports
This is probably the best NBA podcast out💯
“ guys that were in different situations “ he talking bout IT 🤣
When Bron retires espn and all these other things will have nothing to talk about for an hour
They should talk about everyone else. Not just one player
Give shine to others.
What they going to do when he retire?
Can't wait
@@MrAlvarez23 maybe they will go to Giannis or whoever takes over the mantle as the face/best player/most popular. They non stopped talked about Kobe for the 5 years he was the best player in the world too when Lebron was on the come up.
That's why they were hyping up Zion so much. When the media does that, (to me) it makes the player less likeable
Bro it’s so simple, it’s all about the ratings/viewership. Right now, you get the most clicks when Lebrons part of the topic, after he retires, media outlets will reevaluate the numbers and start talking about the dude that takes in the most viewership.
The reason people still talk about Lebron is cause despite being sick of hearing his name everywhere, people who are sick of it like you, still pull up and watch 😂
I don’t root for lebron, but I value his greatness on the court. The only thing I can’t stand from lebron are his nut hugging lebron Stan’s. His fan base is probably
One of the most toxic. You can’t even criticize lebron without being called a “hater” by a nut slurping bron Stan. 🤦♂️
I could say the same for MJ, Curry, KD, Kyrie and almost every superstar fanbase, the fanbase of Lebron is just bigger, waay bigger so you think they are more toxic because you see these toxic Lebron fans everywhere, if KD was as popular as Lebron it would be the same, but KD barelly has 10M followers on Insta, Lebron has 100+ Millions … Lebron is 10x more popular than the 2nd best player of this generation, thats the only difference, the size of their fanbase.
His haters are even worse. Having an intelligent conversation with them is impossible.
@@xaviervega468 No that's Mike's fans. The debate is never ending, it's really fun, just stop with the 6and0 because 8 of the other 10 years he didn't make it out the first round. We just saying that
Lol naw his haters are the ones that annoy me I’m so tired of seeing people hating on this 1 man in the comments everywhere and I’m not even a bron fan 😅
@@xaviervega468 bro his haters are insane 😂
Been watching JJ since duke days salute bro!
as a warriors fan, even though 2016 hurt im glad kevin love is a champion
Greatest of our generation, eh? If people start shouting “he’s the GOOG!” during sports debates I’m here for it
So how in the league now do you think is the greatest of our generation then 🤷🏾♂️
He’s the gote. Greatest of this era
@@roddbanks103 That’s what Jordan was. The greatest of his time. Magic or Kareem before that, and Wilt before that. The problem is that when Jordan came along the branding and timing was so perfect for the NBA and Nike, that people claimed Jordan was the greatest ever smh. U cannot cross eras.
@@thisisdfw2814 we really should only be comparing players in their own era. Jordan ruled his, magic and bird ruled the era before that, Kareem before that, and bill Russel and wilt chamberlain before that. And lebron has ruled this era. It's only fair to match up players against those that they've actually played against. Not against people that were in the league 20, 30, or 40 years before they got there.
People been making that claim… the media pushes the narrative of “GOAT” and pit other players against each other
Bron fans have the power of making someone not want to play basketball for fun anymore. Russ is going through it rn
I mean if u are NBA player u have to accept being criticized.
@@legamingchair6632 for sure but Lebrons fans are a different breed of emotional distress.
@@brandan2468 I agree LeBron fans are the most annoying people on this earth
Lmao always blaming the bron fans lol, most laker fans aren’t even bron fans their kobe fans, and its the lakers fans literally hating on russ 😂😂. Im a lakers fan, I live in LA i would know 😂
Bro Russ is literally being paid millions of dollars to play a sport if he can’t take criticism at all WHILE he’s playing bad maybe he shouldn’t be playing the sport
i hope y’all continue to tune in onto these Ayer podcasts cause they are infinitely better than these dramatized sports media outlets where everyone says one thing that contradicts the last thing they said and spend the whole day hating on one player
ok, but can yall get mic stands? My OCD is not loving watching you hold the mic like that lol - great episode :)
Im an LA Lakers fan for life, but once they traded for Russ I knew it was a really big mistake. Good for Kevin Love having a great season and the Cavs too!
Bosh warned k love about this, but it’s hard to turn down a championship opportunity. That being said, k love got like 95% of the blame and only like 5% of the credit. How does that work ? Lmao smh
That’s what happens when you don’t play well
@@showtimej2582 but at the same time, it's somewhat up to LeBron too to make players better. Superstars are who they are because they get their own and make the others around them better too
@@jctslice he does but at the end of the day those other lakers gotta want to make themselves better as well bro
@@jctslice He has never made anyone better. Everybody numbers go down with him. They have to adjust to his game
When u average 8 ppg in the finals and shoot 40 percent or less in all the finals you played in, then yes you will get alot of the blame

They absolutely do deserve scrutiny. They went from legitimate contenders 2 years in a row to .500 near the all star break by blowing up their whole team for a bunch of old, past-it players who were big names in the past. You're begging for scrutiny when you do that.
Lebrons not the coach still
I always wondered how MJ and his bulls teams would fair in today's game. Specifically with social media. The only guy who can truly relate to the mass hysteria that surrounds lebron daily IS MJ after all ( Kareem was very much aloof and really didn't get along well with the media).
Kareem also didnt have the media machine behind him like Jordan had
He didnt do all the brands and marketing and stuff
ALL FACTS!!
AND GOT YOU DUNKED ON! 👑 🏀 #WATCHEDTHETHRONE
You guys gotta somehow get LeBron on the pod. Like that would be a legendary episode
Kevin saying “someone” messing up the Lakers season, he’s obviously talking about shitty Westbrook 😂
Took me a while to figure out which one was Kevin Love
Well said. You know what’s missing for the Lakers?
K Love
Lebron's teammates get criticism when they aren't hooping, simple as that! Outside of the 2011 finals LeBron brings it ever season/playoffs so you can't blame the loosing on him. In Cleveland Kyrie was balling out and never got blamed because he played very well. Kevin Love did get criticized because he would have really bad and passive games. AD's first season with the Lakers there was nothing to say bad about him because he was HOOPING!! Matter of fact they use to have discussions on who the best player was on the team between him and LeBron. AD's last two seasons have been injury ridden and down statistically so he is getting heat now. If you play well there is nothing to say.
I swear back then people were saying “AD is carrying LeBron.” “AD should of won finals mvp,” etc..
@@hotwaterme1 exactly my point! Because he was playing like his talent and how he did before he joined the Lakers. Last two seasons (even this one before the injury shooting 18% from 3) haven't been as good. Then you look at LeBron and he is as consistent as ever, so you can't blame him. Mans is second in the league in scoring. Even if he does drop off he is 37 at this point so you still couldn't really "blame" him.
Exactly bro. I don't get it. It's like when they lose and a teammate has played bad, we can't call it out because it's a Bron teammate. No if you play bad, we call it out. If you play great, we salute you.
Worst part of Lebron fans is certain players are “trash” on his teams but are “Allstars” or nameable people on other teams EX

Dude was a big who couldnt even outmuscle Klay Thompson, so lets not overrate his value. Just watch "Klay denies Kevin Love"
@@1vaultdweller Luckily, basketball skills are not measured by strength and muscle lol. He was a big that can shoot. That was rare back then.
Yah
In first game he was 1-8 from 3 plus minus was -13
Game 2 he was -12
Game 3 was only decent game even though he was -1
Game 4 he was -26 🥴
Kevin love was great player and still playing decent but he didn't play that good in those finals
@@davidyang3068 Dude, it was 2018. Shooting big man wasnt rare. You acting like it was 92 lol
@@1vaultdweller LOL! I was thinking the same thing. Like, what is homie talking about “back then”
