Stephen A still trying to get LeBron to the Knicks
That's a possibility!?🤔(NYK) Jeanie Buss needs to re-build with young core..Not old ones...🙄Stephen A is pleading for Lebron to the big Apple..🥺
Brunson and Hart don't want to run 5 Out as spot-up shooters, Lebron will make them worse.
If Lebron can choose he lll go with Luka before Brunson :D
Hes an agent of chaos
😂😂
Lakers must blow it up. Their window is closed.
and they have the damn NERVE talking about drafting bronny. Trade AD and DLO and let lebron go. we to build for the future, we need jared McCain out of duke and need to look to the future and BRONNY is not apart of it nor lebron or AD or DLO. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that bih nailed shut! jokic swinging the hammer whle mike malone and murray seal it shut with thick paint 🤣
@@xavierowens4982 yep / they Can Build Around JHS
In LeBron’s six seasons with the Lakers, they made the playoffs four times and they were the 7th seed in all three of those seasons. They missed the playoffs twice and if it wasn’t for the play-in games, it would’ve been four. Outside of winning it all in 2020, LeBron’s tenure in LA has been a fiasco. Yeah, it’s time for the Purple and Gold to hit the reset button.
@@ThatDoesntWorkForMeBrother This man made a mockery of the Purple and Gold. He got to Go and take Coward AD along with him
The NBA is a business. The teams care more about making money than winning championships. From a financial perspective, the Lakers love having LeBron because of the revenue he brings in.
Its just basketball 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@SpreadingOfGodsWord It’s a business first and a sports league second. Everything is economical my friend
And he doesn't only bring it to the Lakers but the NBA as a whole..
@@juansanchez209 But it's just basketball 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Lebrons quote. Tell that to him

"It's just basketball" sealed the GOAT debate permanently.
it isn’t basketball? what they playing tennis?
It’s literally just basketball lol
He's right practically and figuratively, to be fair
Yet, this the same man who said “it’s more than basketball”
He’s talking about Dlo’s performance, quit hating lmao
This dude spoke for 5 minutes just to say he wants LeBron in a Knicks uniform.
He said more than that but that was the only thing that caught your attention
I thought Stephen was checking his blood pressure at first
I mean, the way the man constantly screams, it has to be high. He should always be hooked up to a blood pressure monitor.

I don’t see the point of going to another team this late in his career. I think it ends in LA

So you honestly think LeBron couldn't add value to any team right now?
@@whoishim2998I would love him in Dallas or golden state 😂 lebron haters won’t want him anywhere. 😂😂😂
“The winners of the in season tournament” Really don’t need to remind people of that ridiculous and meaningless tournament. It cheapens the Lakers history, even more so how they are going to get swept again.
Kobe quit first round against Phoenix. Swept and destroyed multiple times and begged to be traded. But that’s your god 😂
What happened tonight, bro? Lakers won.
17 championships is good enough for a lifetime unless you’re a Celtic fan there’s no other team close… the Lakers have nothing to prove to losers like you…
If you think the Lakers are gonna miss out on the ratings and money they could make for Lebrons last season just to rebuild you are high 😂. Lebron only leaving if he wants to leave.

you not wrong lol but interesting to see what jeanie values more... winning or making $. I cant figure her out.

@@cnote729 yeah that why they still get so much tv time 🤣🤣
I remember SAS called for Kobe's retirement right before he got his max deal. That was when the LeMedia first started pushing that Jordan comparison crap real heavy!!
They wanted Kobe out of the way.
Lakers need to trade both Austin reeves and rui and let DLo walk! The lakers bench is awful, they need to sign more players
Stop moving the goal post. MJ never got swept in a 7 game series. SWEPT is SWEPT lol.
It is not dude. How difficult is to understand that winning 3 in a row is easier than winning 4 in a row? smh.
Im not even a LeSwitchTeams fan but he mights well go to the Warriors and go play w Steph and Dray
Hell no..
So you are the switching kind then? Get outta here with your contradicting comment
No! Hell no
Warriors ain’t got the $ to get him up there cowherd tried suggesting this and was shot down when he brought it up to others they’ll Barely be able to hold on to klay
By saying something corny like “leswitchteams” that’s lets us no your not a bron fan. U didn’t have to specify
This is the result of getting rid of Dwight Howard and Javeel McGee...
“This brotha went scoreless in game 3”😂
hahaha
Time to hang it up bron
He's gassed nothing left. MJ retired top of his game. He didn't want to chase records. Had the best career now having fun. Bron is paying for the records now. Will be remembered for this more than anything. He stayed too long
Other than Ad who he got to help him
@jimwilson7364 lol retired top of his game really he sucked with Charlotte that not finishing on top look at his number his last year guess u blind
LeBron is a system. He can’t just just be added to another team to boost their chances like KD or Kawhi.
LeBron came up huge in the clutch tonight again.
that never been swept in 4 was a crazy goalpost move brother
The 86 and 87 celtics team that swept Jordan were all time great teams (nuggets aren’t yet)
Jordan also had ZERO help while Lebron allegedly has a top 10 player in AD + a better supporting cast. Jordan had Charles Oakley’s 14ppg and John Paxson’s 11
Actually it is easier to sweep by beating someone 3-0 than going 4-0. That extra game gives an extra chance a team to get one and lose 4-1 instead. So, point is valid.
@@richardmills6669 LeBrons 39. Chill out
@@morganpopham281who cares how old he is. I think it’s funny when people use his age to down play his failures. But when he breaks some historical longevity records. Everyone loves to brag how this old man is playing at such a high caliber. Lebrons not carrying his team to playoffs the play in tournament is. If the play in tournament wasn’t a thing he would have been eliminated the last few years.
@@morganpopham281 I ain’t gonna lie. If Jordan had an AD level talent at 39…I think he’d get to the playoffs and win at least win one. Maybe I’m tripping.
He should retire
I agree
Do you think he’s a top 10 of all-time?
😥I'm not happy anymore...😞
You should retire from having an opinion
I would cry tears of joy
Stephen you lost me at Knicks 😭😭😭
Him and his son goin back to Cleveland!!! Cavs are lookin good. They just need him to complete a missing piece.
He would make them worse
step 1: Take 3 identical ties
step 2: Put one tie on normally
step 3: Wrap 2 other ties around arm sleeves and staple the ends to create matching shirt to tie.
Yes. His defense is terrible!!
Fact and he gets mad at his teammates a lot for his mistakes.
@Living_349Facts. Nobody else on the team could ever meet Jamal Murray at the rim Mano y Mano and pack his shite
@Living_349 Maybe he defended well earlier in his career, but not with the Lakers. I watch him every game recorded or live. He hardly ever defends! Only in the spotlight.
@Living_349He does a lot of standing around on defense and blames the other players if they miss a defensive play. I understand that he is older now which is why I said in my comments "Maybe he defended well earlier in his career". I did not keep up with him in his early years when his defensive prowess lied in his physical stature and IQ. I can only speak on what I am seeing now in watching him play with lakers. ua-cam.com/users/shortsuKqQfEAxqU4?si=26BOP06I44RCkQ_8. I hope Robert Horry is not black balled for telling the truth.
trade him because he's just out there playing hero ball when they should be running the offense through AD
Thank u
He has no help other than ad they have no supporting cast so go on with ur coffeeshop bullshit bullshit rant
@user-cz9wg1ks2e maybe he's the problem then because it seems like they play better team ball when he's out
No way AD leading is going to help LA. He gets hurt more than old man lebron.
He should go back to cleveland
😂😂
SAS try putting your name in title or show name that way you will get more views
You know what's interesting, The AD/Lebron tandem outscored Jokic/Murray tandem in game. Yes their window to win a champion together is smaller every day but people act like they're washed. They outscored the championship Duo, the bottom line is the lakers bench is washed in comparison to Denver. MPJ and Gordon together outscored every other Lakers combined. Nuggets have a big four, it's real impressive. The end.
Ad and bron have no help look at their bench and rest of starting players mmm
@@user-cz9wg1ks2e They depend on the likes of Dlo, Rui and Reaves to produce at least 10-15 points a game, that hasn't been the case at all. Credit to the nuggets defense, they're amazing.
LBJ on the KNICKS next season would be 🔥🔥🔥 f-it KD should come too lmaoo!!!
That would be so great, does this deal come with a free subscription to life alert as well? Because that’s the only way you could get those two old geezers on the same team and make it worth it.
T.O. was right about Max. Especially after hearing this dude on Fox and that non-apology
Lebron isn't able to command games anymore. The best he could do is contribute from the bench for a contender. He could still probably win more championships if he does that, but his days of finals MVP are over.
Lakers are in a rush to get the trophy. They made their first mistake when they got rid of Vogel and took in Ham. Ham doesn’t know how to use the players he has. Then the wrong choices kept happening by getting back dlo and getting rid of strong vets such as Howard, Ariza,KCP and even Kuzma. After this season if lebron comes back it ain’t gonna be pretty. Lebron should retire. Lakers need to be patient and rebuild.
Lebron come home dude why are you trying to be someone your not king
Yeah.. Go home. You are burnt out.
Main question which team would want that
Stop it
The Thunder do not have a Power Forward on the roster and plenty of cap space. Could also package their bounty of picks with Giddey to get another star
It’s funny because they don’t even acknowledge their only problem and it’s not having a real center
The fact that LeBron at 39 years of age is held to the same standards as he did in his prime says a lot.
Hes being held to the same standard as any top 10 player currently.
@@tigera6 lies
@@joechucks1555 What lies? Lebron isnt supposed to be a top 10 player?
THANK YOU!!! FINALLY SOMEBODY SAID IT💯
Hes in extended prime...if hes putting up the numbers....those numbers come with a standard..and expectations
This is the GOAT?! 😂😂😂. Fake media spews that crap😂😂
Of course he’s the GOAT unlike that gambling addict who retired twice 😂😂
Fake news
Doesn’t mean he’s trash, ya’ll acting like everyone outside of the top 1 is trash lmao
Who he have to help him other than Ad hmmm

Warrior draft bronny . Lebron opt in , agree to be traded to golden state for kuminga, klay on a new deal , Wiggins, and two 1st . 100 % all those will happen this summer
You got to turn the volume up some on these videos.
SWEEEEEPTTTTT ........LMAO
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah and tell me how that went exactly?
i think they should honestly so they can have some sort of a future
Lebron has a no trade clause so he will have to approve any trade they want to make
No thanks, we don’t need him in the Knicks. In 2010 yes, but not now. He is a defensive liability and don’t fit Thibs system. He can stay in LA or hang it up .
I've never laughed so hard 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣when Stephen A said " Los Angeles Lakers are one game away from being SWEPT 🤣🤣🤣 MY HEAD SPUN MAD DEJA VU 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣SWEEEEEPTTTTTTTTTT🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They should get rid of James he just a stat stuffer every time he puts up big numbers his team loses
Who he got to help other than Ad mmmm be waiting to hear ur reply
Doesnt matter its over all the team switching he started it and ultimately when he retires it will count against him
Just like MJ retirements and quitting count against him
@@MahomeboyYet nobody likes to bring up M.J. Quitting and like to say he retired. Bro literally quit on his team and the league
@Mahomeboy And.coming back and repeating 3 championships back to.back to.back,.lets not.foeget buddy. Sweep city for lebron, get over it
How is switching teams going to count against him? Last I checked he’s won a chip for every team he’s played on 😂
Lmao
You mean the player switching teams themselves than just the front office doing it for them
Damn they ain’t beat the nuggets in 2 years lmao Ts really sad 😂🤣
People saying he should retire are showing they just hate the mans presence period.Unless it was because of injuries we watched everyone gradually go from asset to liability before they stepped away from the game.So why wouldn't you want him to do the same unless you're just tired of seeing the man period and that has to do with something deeper than Hooping....You cant prove in any way objectively that this man doesn't add value to his team and the league as a whole.😒💯
Why should a player still getting you to the playoffs and averaging 25+ efficiently retire?
Play no defense, doesnt have enough stamina to finish game strong.
Whats they got in return? After losing coach getting fired, young players got their careers wreck. This is what u get if you join lebron. If they win all credits belongs to hin.
@@tigera6at his age he isn’t expected to play elite defense. The lakers should build the roster accordingly. Get length size rebounders and defenders. He is leading fourther quarter scorer in the league and shot career high from 3%. Lebron still top 10 player with plenty left. I want him to leave lakers so that the trash fan base can go back to losing where they belong
@@prince21781 There is a difference between not play ELITE defense, and NOT playing defense. And its hard to build the roster when you have 2 guys taking up 110 mil dollar, thanks to the new salary cap rule.
@@tigera6 true. But the lakers play more 4 on 5 basketball than 5 on 5.

Still a top 20 player. No need to retire, just take a step back from being the focal point of an offense.
😂😂😂😂
The difference is Jordan was swept by a team that had 4 hall of famers and he still dropped 63 in a game which is still the most points scored in a playoff game. Jordan also broke his leg in 86 which is the same period. LeBron is ready to run back to the East conference where it's easy because he is a runner and wants no part of that Denver smoke. Jordan never ducked any smoke.
I’m guessing Jordan took the Wizards into the postseason and played an elite team in his later years, right? He’s the GOAT so why didn’t he get a chip with the Wizards?
They coulda ducked Denver and didn’t. That makes no sense
LeBron is 39! Folks stay comparing current LeBron to Jordan during his prime even though he is 39 years old in year 21.😂 That lets you know all you need to know right there. Compare Wizards Jordan to LeBron now, he couldn't even get the Wizards to the playoffs in the East, let alone the WCF like LeBron did last year.

He should go to the Bucks. That would be a definite title lol
He's not leaving LA for Milwaukee lol.
@@harinderrana9735 If he wants another championship …. That’s his best choice. Otherwise stay in LA and keep losing.
No the lakers should have lebron play a role like Vinnie the Microwave. Come off the bench in crucial moments....but get reliable players 1st

But it's just basketball, right? 🤷🏾😂
agree with everything you're saying, but as a Knicks Fan - I would have taken Lebron 10 years ago - knicks are great and have been building up the right way - Bron should just go where Bronny goes and have that be his last year
