David West Full Interview:
We have to just be honest.. nostalgia got alot of yall stuck.. bron the Goat
Everything he said is the reason why Lebron ain't the goat
Whoever dribbling in the back gotta chill who thought that was a good idea😂
20 years at 27 7 7 is the goat. Passing the kareem for points and magic in assists is the goat. 4 chips 4 finals mvps on 3 different teams with no great head coach is the goat
Bron is the real GOAT period!
Put LBJ aside of this discussion. Let’s point out the respect West was giving to Zeebo in this interview. In his prime, Randolph was so cold 🥶
I've said this and I'll say it again, LeBron James is the Greatest Basketball player in the history of the NBA.
I'm a magic & Lakers fan when i started playing basketball. When MJ came he made the NBA became global. I don't really like ball hogs but 2 3-peats the hype the swagger the highlights and the shoes, I also want to be like Mike. Strong case vs Kareem being the 🐐. When MJ retired i started to appreciate his greatness even more. Then came LeBron and all the hype and expectations. I never liked him from the start comparing him to be the next MJ i didnt like it at all. and just like MJ he slowly gained my respect with the style of his game (pass first). His freeakish athletisicm, the way he continuously developed his game, his endurance & longetivity through his work ethic & discipline, the level of competition and the way he adapt for 3 decades. The level of scrutiny and hate he had to endure specially today's age of social media. He surpassed it all. You can tell it by his stats, advance metrics, diff accolades, records being broken and great players he surpassed and being able to do it the right way in and out of the court. That's why for me he is the 🐐. And after he is done we will surely miss his greatness.
David west for sure needs to do more interviews and tv appearances. He is extremely insightful
I really like how articulate David West is here. Just look at it from this perspective, I'm not saying guys weren't tough in the 70's, 80"s and 90's because they most certainly were, but was it just because they were "built" different or was the game allowing them to play more physical? Of course guys aren't going to shoot crazy percentages in the paint if you're just allowed to tackle people. Of course it's going to be harder to drive around someone when their hand and are are stuck to you. And he makes a great point about guys' height and weight. That Pacers team was a big and heavy team, yet Lebron physically dominated them. Not finessed them. People use this era against Lebron constantly, like it's his fault, but why not look at all eras with that same critical lens. They didn't have to guard guys like Steph as soon as he crossed half court, they didn't have to worry about 7' guys with guard like abilities, they didn't have to worry about guarding bigs outside the paint, they didn't have to play more complicated defenses. In this era, no matter how big, tall, strong, fast you are, you can most likely score from all 3 levels and have decent handles too. Most teams back then didn't have a guy that could guard guys like Bron, Giannis, or KD. Just because you could hit people out of the air or just be overly physical doesn't mean you can actually defend. Again, not saying they were bad defensively but it's something you have to think about when judging eras or having a GOAT debate.
Made my night. Sending this to all the group chats 😂
Since there is less defense, fast pace and more shooting, winning is harder to predict. In the 90s you can hold a 10 lead by slowing the game. Somewhat control the outcome. Now a 20 point lead can vanish in 3-4 minutes. Winning is less about a specific player but more so who gets hotter.
There was a story that came out years ago that said Bron weighed 279 at his heaviest in Miami…
This is one of the best interviews. David West nailed it! D West sounds like a very practical dude. I wish this was a sports channel interview. So much knowledge in this content.
BRON is the GOAT as of now. Well said David West. Pro-basketball has consistently evolved. And, still evolving.
Yo, this is actually a very interesting way of looking at this debate. I really appreciate hearing David talk about his era being kind of the meshing point of old school and modern basketball
David West’s energy and detail was incredible, definitely going to look for more interviews now. And he pronounced Gasol’s name correctly!! That’s really dope!
This is pretty dope to hear. I remember West tweeting we used to only celebrate 3-peats, after Cleveland won the chip as a dig to Bron. Now he’s giving him his props, mad respect
More than player weight and athleticism, you just have more skill guys now. You don't have players on the court who are just enforcers anymore. Pretty much everyone has to be able to shoot. Even guys wgo struggle with shooting, like Draymond Green, need to be elite in other areas like passing, defense, and ball handling. We've never had this many elite players in the league. Never had this level of overall competition. Never had this level of skill across the board
