Legler is so professional and knowledgeable. Always on touch.
Watching a NBA vet talking basic basketball skill, shows what the NBA has become. Hands up and closeout on shooters is "elite" defense.
which is why I'm so surprised he was able to still be retained by espn. Nowadays, the ones that talk the loudest and craziest get the most airtime. It's still fairly true but he's one of the only people with sense on a sports network.
@@reno419rockstarExcept that's not what he said at all, I'm not sure if you misheard him or you're making stuff up but he said that what Jimmy Butler did was "an elite level closeout" not that closing out was "Elite defense" as you're claiming.
But Espn doesn’t want to give him no air time lol
This is way more enjoyable than having people screaming their heads off.
Actual analysis and conversation
Lol Espn don’t care tho they rather have emotional men yell everyday
Legs schooling me on basketball strategy is why I watch EXCELLENT ANALYSIS thanks Mr Legler.
Give this man a raise! By far the best analyst employed by espn.
Hes the joker of analyst. No flare jus substance
He should be the president!
@@maxlin7208 LOL as a Nuggets fan ya lol 😆
Overstated smh
Pretty low bar. ESPN is nothing like it used to be.
Tim Legler is the best thing on ESPN.
No he's not lmao
@@truthonly- yes he is. What, are you taking Perk over Legler?
Bruh, why can't more shows be like this! This was such a great analysis, so fun to watch.
exactly! sooo much better than the usual "will winning the chip make x player the top x player of all time" dribble
Bc audience for these videos only talk about how pleasantly surprised they are, the other videos get more engagement bc they contain unarguable arguments
@@therealwelfin Casuals don't care as much about the game of basketball
@Les Hoop they could have several analysts arguing but while also using clips to form their opening or counters? I think its just work and skill the don’t want to do rather than casuals not watching. We adapted to years of this style of repetitive debate content as humans adapt down constantly from their potential if it’s convenient.
Lol cause Espn producers are full of clowns who care about stupid ratings
I like Tim and Scott cause they’re calm and they don’t yell. Sometimes I just want to get the intel without getting my ear drums blown out!
Give legler his own show please espn
I'd love to watch a show where he and JJ do pre- and postgame analysis in the playoffs. Then maybe have RJ on there to keep it entertaining for the casual viewer.
Legs the best nba analyst at ESPN, they wasting him not having him on their pre/half/post show. I’d love to see him get a head coaching position.
*best nba analyst on tv
No he's not. It's better former players tht are better then him on the court and as an analyst
@@truthonly- who? Nobody is talking about him ON the court. That doesn’t even matter lol who is a BETTER analyst and why?
that touch screen analysis was sensational!
ESPN needs to read these comments: TIM NEEDS HIS OWN SHOW.
Tim Legler is a serious analyst, compared to Nick W., Perk, Skip...and other charlatans.
Tim is amazing. Really like Jimmy and Jokic's attitude. Glad one of these dudes will soon have a ring.
Turning your head the moment the ball is coming to your hand is a waterpolo technique. Jokić played waterpolo as a kid. All his assist are very waterpolo styled.
Yes cuz water polo players pass with one hand only but Jokic outlet passes with two hands are deadly also..
Cool! Didn't know he did
Thanks ! Also thinking horseracing demands rapid reflexes and decisions.
man he never play waterpolo only basketball and chariot race, maybe he watch lots of waterpolo matches of national team
@Драгослав Брајовиќ
Jokic didn’t play water polo formally - he was never on a team, he said - but he would strip to his swim trunks and toss the ball around with his friends when he was growing up in Sombor
Huge thing I’ve long learned about the Heat’s defense is not everyone can play in that system. It takes some serious conditioning especially because of heavy rotations it can require at times.
I’ve heard before that the physical that players have to pass with the heat is way more intense than other teams’
@@ronathan7212 I’ve heard they have a weekly check up on their body fat percentage. They have to be at or below 10%
@@jakester5272that's not true at all
@@cbreezy69 its true
@@Yungkhalifa14it's definitely not true
Love Jokic attitude about refusing the favorites label. Super excited for both these teams being here gonna be awesome!
Breath of fresh air!
Tim's been watching tape, finally realizing the absolute brilliance of Jokic. Enough of lbj's basketball mind, Jokic is actually a step above....
Tim Legler has been my favorite analyst
as i get older i appreciate legler even more
That touchscreen analysis is absolutely amazing. I strongly agree that Jokic is the most decisive player in the NBA. Would love to see the final go all the way to game 7.
Love breakdowns of the game we need more content like this and less debate on ESPN
Master analysis. Entertaining.
Tim legler and hubie brown , knowledge 🐐🐐🐐
This was a FANTASTIC breakdown... I want to see more coverage like this in media instead of the typical worthless questions and interviews that athletes have no interest in answering...
i swear sometimes i enjoy watching legs' breakdowns more than the game itself 🤓
Happy to actually see useful and accurate analysis for a change!
Legs needs his own segment or show the man breaks basketball down with a different iq level
Idk what they pay legs but he needs a raise: I watched him for 5 minutes and my little league team is undefeated
The best analyst by far.. I hope he has his own show doing breakdowns of a plays. I like how he dissect every plays..
Marvelous breakdown. Analysis is on point.
Really enjoy watching Tim talk and on touch screen
One of the most exciting finals in a while.. any of the teams winning will be great
Has potential to be the lowest rated Finals in history even though both teams are very solid. I'll watch but I'll be in the minority. Most casual NBA fans have never heard of the Denver Nuggets, only us diehards know who that team is, but should be a solid series regardless.
@@T85204 why do you care about ratings anyway 😂😂 just watch the games If you're a true bball fan.
@@elmehdinafia1237 I have no emotional investment in it really so it will be easier to watch but NBA cares about Ratings and going forward all the speculation of trying to rig games may grow more so, I'm a realist but anyways enjoy, Denver in 6 imo.
Playoff Jimmy🪣 vs the 2x MVP JOK!!🃏 has me HYPED… Legler 🐐
Tim Legler is hands down the best basketball mind + interesting voice on ESPN
Thank you for this level of analysis!
This is the only segment I watch in ESPN.
Give Legler his own show
Legler LITERALLY the best in the business. A basketball genius
Tim always been a og . Best in the game fr
Tim Legler and JJ Redick talk real basketball while the rest of the characters on ESPN are simply talking heads. I understand that folks love the shouting back and forth between this or that character but real basketball analysis is seldom found on most ESPN shows. I prefer JJs channel and when Legler is a the guest it is AWESOME.
This is how you combat the guys from TNT. Yes they’ll never be surpassed. Less hot takes and less spinning ideas to fit your narrative. Tim is 100% always honest and real. Nothing he does is for show and tell. SVP knows exactly what questions to bounce off him too. This is what good television is. Thank you both gentlemen!
Well said!
This man ❤ hoops fr… u can hear it in his voice
Tim Legler Should Really Have His Own Show Now No Question!!!!!! HEAT IN SIX!
Tim breakdown on the game of basketball is insane
Jordan/Pippen
Magic/Kareem
Kobe/Shaq
Legler/Touchscreen
Stockton/Malone
Great Breakdown by Leggs,.KP hasn't a Clue what they're Talking about,.lol
ESPN got to be reading these comments
Legs should work for a nba team ...mans knows basketball..
ESPN should give this guy a gig the LEGLER show 😊🤔🤗
Great analysis. 👍👍
I just can't see Miami beating this Denver team even if they have been impressive so far in the playoffs. The Nuggets have the most talent, the most depth and the best player in the league but the biggest advantage they have that people are taking very lightly is the altitude. This is why Denver has the ultimate home court advantage and has the best home record in NBA history. The altitude is no joke. Even if it goes 7 games, I can't see Miami winning in Denver with the lack of depth. I seriously doubt Jimmy Butler will play 42+ minutes every away game. He's going to die of suffocation.
Na
Nah' the role players of miami will get the job done. Who cares of altitude if you have a lot of role players. Miami have fresh legs thru entire 48 mins.
@@Likemike2345 Yeah no. Lol
Legler is just great. Grounded. Thoughtful.
Love Legs!! He is great!
ESPN should take note of the fact that people enjoy real, substantive basketball analysis and not hearing about the same basketball storylines for the 300th time.
Put Legler on prime time more he doesn’t need to be on at 1am when everyone’s asleep
Legs needs a coaching job
No because we gonna miss him as a analyst...let's be grateful we have him
Tim Legler breakdowns be legit.
Surprised Legs has been held on to by espn so long. I remember when Stephen A was just covering AI and he was nothing like he was now. The best show in basketball is on tnt
Legler is the GOAT!!!
Legs is the best
This is gonna be a fundamentally sound finals a great ball and player movement team vs the best defensively coached team
That works usually but not when you’re too small by a hilarious margin as we’ve seen last night, they have to make some changes.
Excellent segment as always! It was nice to hear "Nikola" pronounced correctly too. ESPN, please educate the rest that it's "Neek-olah" and should sound NOTHING like Coca Cola.
GOAT analyst!
🔥take 💯
Its going to be a sweep by Denver.
Legler knows ball
Legs is SO good!
1:20 - Legs looking out for us. He pauses it right after he carries to show us we're not crazy. Tatum carried like a mug
Tim Legler the best NBA analyst and JJ Redick next on that list.
Tim Legler 🔥🔥🔥
Tim should have used the footage from the regular season matchup of these teams. The Heat used the zone and the Nuggets demolished them. lol They are 0-2 this season and that's a fact! Also, the Lakers are a better defender than the Heat so stop insulting their defense. smh
DENVER sweeeep! Congratulations your the 2023 NBA Finals Champions.
If Miami plays at a high level they can make this interesting.
The difference will be Jokic is going to that guy in the middle instead of Robert Williams and al hordford.
Nuggets are just unique, it will take a unique defense strategy as well from spoe to overcome. 🤔
SAS and Skip just blame players based on their stats. They discuss players instead of the game lol. I doubt they actually don't understand the game.
The first play would be entirely different with the nuggets because Jokic is bringing the ball up and can make the cross court pass easily.
DEN in 5, I'm surprised Legler hasn't explored coaching yet
Legs is just so superior to the rest of the pundits. He watches games. He studies tape. The rest of them just look at box scores and watch highlights. The Nuggets getting to the finals has really exposed the NBA media as lazy, narrow-minded, gossip columnists.
Jimmy could become the greatest Son Michael Jordan ever had with this Finals win. NUGGETS in 4 😂🎉
put a band on it
@@emoneyizhereson he won’t
Legs needs to be more on Air, less perkins and JJ more Tim..
Bring back Kobe break downs
Bernie kosar of basketball
Jokic’s look offs and no looks are gonna kill the heat
It’s funny every analyst on every show that talks about Jokic basically explains why he should have been the MVP but then didn’t vote for him because of politics. Jokic averaged more rebounds and assists than Embiid. He had a higher FG %. He doesn’t have a top 75 player of all time. He makes his teammates better. He’s a better passer with a higher IQ and more versatile. Oh and he was #1 seed since December. But, let’s give it to Embiid because he averaged a few more points and we don’t want Jokic to have 3 in a row. All the voters should be ashamed. 🤦🏻♂️
Remember when it was the Lakers move to win game 1 and when that didn’t happen it was just steal 1
May the best team win!
Miami is not deep enough or long enough to contend for the whole series. If the offensive wheels come off for Miami during long stretches of the game, Denver will smoke them. That's the real danger. Competing hard but losing focus for even just a few minutes can cost you big against a team like Denver. They mentally wear teams out with their simple complexity. Analysis is on point. Basketball is about being quick, not fast. And that starts with the brain first. Basketball is a game of rapid fire decisions and nobody does it like the Joker.
im a Memphis grizzlies fan but im picking denver in 5 games to win nba title over miami 4-1
Last time the nuggets lost in Denver was in March 😂😂😂
The fist person that i know similar to Teppei Kiyosi, The Point Center of Seirin with the Right of Postponement
Legler, JJ Redick, & Draymond need a show together breaking down basketball. The way they fluidly pick apart film is poetic
Tim Legler should coach.
How the Heat is going to defend the high IQ of the league, Jokic?
basically Jokic is a team player while Lebron is a me player. Thats the difference. Your head doesn't start looking for others so fast if you aren't a team player.
This series gonna be closer than most think. The Heat will get in the paint a lot. Plus Denver hasn’t played a defensive team like Miami in the playoffs.
The Lakers have more size and couldnt dominated the paint, you think the Heats can?
@@zarxik259 wHAT YOU SAID,.fRONT LINE GONNA kILL THE hEAT'S wILL~
@@zarxik259 the lakers didn’t have a ball slasher like jimmy or someone who can draw hella fouls like jimmy.
@@basketball_guru1904 Lebron And AD draw the most fouls in the NBA, that its why the have the highest FTs rate.
@@zarxik259 and? Joker is too slow for Bam, everyone is too slow for Caleb, Jimmy will get in there as well etc.
While Legler's analysis is- as always - spot on, the defensive examples he uses equally show how tight and poorly the Celtics played overall, for various reasons. The first play results in a missed point blank put back (that defense gives up the crashing wing) by Brown, and the second is a pretty makable shot should Tatum have his normal elevation.
Lol y’all hate to give the heat credit 😂
Clearly they don’t pay attention to coach spo. Spo game will be to deny Jokic the ball. Just like Gianni’s. Easy money. Heat in 6
Denver in 6.
