LeBron said "since I've been watching". He's 39 like me, watched Space Jam, second threepeat, heard the "next Jordan" comps for Kobe and himself. MJ's influence on Lebron is overwhelming.
@@mikesnow4735yup and didn’t he also said that Jordan was like a father to him growing up ? I might be wrong but that would explain a lot. It feels like he expected Jordan to treat him like that and took it very “personally” 😂 when MJ didn’t do that.
Depending on when he started watching the NBA, he could have caught the first 3-peat as well. I am the same age as him and saw all 6, I just don't remember them as well as the second 3 peat.
From "the decision" debacle, to calling himself the GOAT when his resume was severely lacking, to bringing books he hasn't read as props to interviews, Lebron has always been a pompous douche.
That’s the worst part about his personality and it overshadows everything else. The fake humility is nauseating. The “I’m better than everyone else because I say so” attitude is just non stop cringe.
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one noticing all of LeBron's fake humility. Sometimes he's very crafty about pumping himself up. Other times he just calls himself the greatest or brings live goats to parties or has his wife call him "the goat" (respectfully, lol). Either way, he's always pumping himself up. Rather than EARN respect, he wants to control the narrative and force people's respect.
@@bos3835 U mean LeBron was a fan of MJ?? He still is. That's why he wears 23. The hate between him is BS created by sports media (for story lines) & fans in love w MJ's ghost.
@@gonzielovesspanish8989 not anymore because LeFraud started and still is calling himself "the goat" when he's legitimately not even top ten. I haven't heard him say good things about Jordan in at least ten years.
Lebron has to try and convince everyone he is a king, that shows he is not a king. MJ respected others before him, and never said he was a goat or the goat, players and fans did. That’s a huge difference! Lebron has to get past his ego and arrogance.
MJ did say he was the greatest, just not to the media nor in interviews. He had more respect for the game, and for former players than to say that publicly
@@PhoenixAscendingbeing the competitor he is I'm sure that he thinks he's the best if not one of them but like the other before he was smart enough to not discuss it publicly and let the achievements do the talk
That’s my first time hearing A.I. give that HOF speech and everything he said was 💯! It got me hyped cuz that’s exactly what most of us thought at the time about the game of basketball, and still do today.
Lebron Kobe and Micheal all have egos to reach that level of success you definitely have a lot of ego about yourself rather they admit or not . I mean MJ influence generations of basketball no ego😒. Kobe influence the mamba mentality not just in basketball but at anything you do an wrote a book an won a Oscar no ego🤔😂.

He lost by facing tougher competition in the finals 2011, 2015, and 2017 were winnable but 2011 was a choke fest at the biggest stage with a couple of sweeps but Jordan was also swept in round one. 6 rings with 2 3-peats doesn’t compare to bill’s 8-peat. Kobe isn’t the goat either, he was carried by shaq in the 3-peat and choked to the pistons and Celtics as well. I like lebron but he’s not my goat so get Jordan’s nuts out your mouth
I never saw MJ make a motion of crowning himself. That sh*t right there is what makes MJ more likeable to me. He’d celebrate, get fired up, but he wouldn’t show off a need for validation like that.
Lebron stole 1 of kobes most iconic lines talking about the beauty of the struggle and the grind is the journey. LeBron said the same exact thing in different words, never mentioned Kobe, to pretend he is so Fucking smart. What a joke. So if LeBron believes the grind is part of the beauty, WHY DOES HE LEAVE EVERY TEAM HIGH AND DRY? WHY DOES HE RECRUIT ALL THE BEST PLAYERS? WHY DOES HE AVOID DEFENDING HIS POSITION? LeBron spent his entire career running from the grind and now wants to steal what Kobe said for himself about the grind. IT'S COMPLETELY FAKE

Like I said though, he grew out of that, so props to him.
Reddick is tortured every day he wakes up realizing he is a plumber of his Era and he's a joke next to Larry. Legon is the biggest joke on the court right now! If he's not part of the play, he just stands there and blows on his hands. Leaves his team 4 on 5 when they're on D. He's in the back court crying at an official. And he's far dumber than your average box of rocks. So much not to like!

Mimicked his idiosyncracies? The tongue sticking out, step backs, dribbling, winking like Jordan, shrugging like Jordan. There's YT videos for days showing how Kobe was a straight up Jordan clone.

And by this logic, MJ would be a carbon copy of David Thompson and Dr. J put together. Kobe did things NEITHER MJ or LeBalco have done. Going out on your last game to 60 points, a GW, and a win? LEGENDARY. MORE PEOPLE watched Kobe's last game than the Warriors BREAK the Bulls WINS RECORD. The LAST FINALS that hit NFL numbers? KOBEs last finals vs Boston in 2010.

Or maybe JJ has forgot more than you know about basketball since you only played in CYO, like 99% of UnCut's subscribers who never played basketball at a high level. Always amazes me these hate channels with guys who say the same stuff every day, and none of them were athletes in any way, shape or form. Imagine being so obsessed with someone you "hate" that you make a video and comment the same things, every day. It is truly pathetic.
@Reaper13-hi3yo I played basketball my entire life, JJ is full of shit. Every player today has Jordan's game built into, including Lebron's. I would know, I'm Lebron's age and we were all trying to play like Mike at the time.
LeBalco is VERY JEALOUS of Kobe and is NARCISSIST so he's trying to erase hoops before 2004. Everything before 2004 is "plumbers." Shaq likely wins ZERO rings without Kobe. Kobe SAVED HIS ASS in 2000 WCF, 2001 WCF, and 2002 WCF.

Don't you think if LeBron James had have already won six championships he would probably be the biggest advocate of Michael Jordan still be in the greatest. It's the fact that he hasn't that bothers him and he probably thought way before now he would have already at least had that many. And I don't give a s*** what anybody says they're just pissed off they're just pissed off that Jordan drank smoked and gambled and still got two three-peats. And there ain't nothing more impactful on culture than Jordans I don't give a s*** what anybody did
That clip reminds me of my coworker. I been doing HVAC since I was 8 years old he tells me everyday. Yet he’s one of the worst techs at our company. Just because you rode on daddy’s lap while he went on a service doesn’t mean you were actually fixing any heating or cooling systems. But in his mind he’s the greatest HVAC tech to ever work in this trade
They're just stroking each other's ego's. JJ believes his era is so good that he himself is better than Larry Bird, Jerry West, etc. I'd take Dan Majerle over JJ Redick. Majerle was more athletic, a far better defender and still could shoot. He was even the first to be pulling up from 30. LeBron senses this ego out of JJ and is using it to his advantage. JJ can grow his podcast that caters to the 12 to 25 age group, and LeBron can use JJ to further his propaganda. Win win for both of them.

AI impacted the game heavily from a rule perspective. The guy carried non stop and basically broke the refs so they called less and less. Leading to all carrying and traveling and increased handles. Curry changed the game with 3 point shooting. Mj made the sport global, dramatically increased viewership, on top of influencing the play style. Bron made superteams popular and flopping
I loved AI, but you're spot on. AI carried so much that it changed how the refs call traveling or carrying. Meaning they don't call traveling anymore. Easy to have great handles when you can palm the ball and shuffle your feet. Kids don't understand because they weren't around to see the evolution of the game, and rather than learn history, they'd rather insult history. Sad times. I respect current players' talent, but the rules are way different.
As a Nuggets fan I can't tell you how refreshing it is to have Jokic, not just because how good he is but because everything about the way he carries himself is like the anti-Lebron. Jokic always stays humble, doesn't chase stats or after anyone's shadow, and when talking to the media he only tries to boast about his teammates or even his opponents, never about himself. Giannis is the same way.
I started hating the NBA after watching how it has devolved to a bunch of sissies that dont play defense and cries foul all the time. It's laughably bad. I'd watch the Filipino league any day over the current NBA.
😂 with all due respect to Allen Iverson one of my favorite players of all time and Steph Curry another amazing player, you could bring up people like muggsy bogues, or other players but no player in the history of the NBA has had more influence on basketball than Michael Jeffrey Jordan
what JJ REDNECK & LEFLOP don’t realize is how sad it is to go and play for a team and you can’t wear your favorite jersey number (23) because of the organization’a respect for an opponent player’s “greatness”. Miami Heat retired MJ ‘s number so no one can ever wear it in that team. that is what you call “influence”
I respect you a content creator but this narrative push is crazy. A 12 sec clip made you create a 11 min video. That’s crazy in its self. Bron paying the bills I get it man.

Admitting you want to be like Mike, and constantly wanting to throw jabs and say you’re the greatest ever and got klutch and MSmedia trying to downplay him to boost you up as the greatest is the wildest shi ever. Lebron could and will never be the goat.

"i was doin that when i was 8 years old and i didn't know where it came from" - a classic lie when you know how they operate it sticks out like a sore thumb
PATHOLOGICAL LIAR. Lebron has COMPILATIONS OF HIMSELF JUST LYING. Let that sink in. Somebody who LIES SO MUCH there are whole COMPILATIONS of his lies. LeJussie Smollet!
This guy 🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽 LeBalco James needs worry about himself. His game is dogwater and everyone knows it. Guy has not improved at all. He's the reason why NBA is unwatchable now. The superteam era 🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽. Why can't players nowadays play all 82 games like that of MJ, Bird, Magic, etc. a lot of these NBA commentators claim this era's NBA players are tougher, faster, stronger. And yet, most of these guys sit out games and don't play???! Make it make sense dog! And don't get me started on LeBalco stay flopping. 🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽 That's ya goat???! Nah dog. We know who the real goat it and it's not "King James"
- 9:40 Indeed, who doesn't realize basketball is a possession game. Maybe less so now with these rules that cripple the defense. But it still is and will always be. What am I getting here? Is LeKaren advocating that if the previous five possessions were bad, you shouldn't opt for further (2 in this case) possessions? ...and that's supposed to make him smart. And there's nothing smart about flipping a play, unless the flip is to your shooters advantage and you can force a switch or two (see Golden State) What is smart is being able to feign your 1st, 2nd, 4th etc options - And execution is just as important. That takes teamwork, and since it's pretty clear Lebron has not been a team player... And everything I just said is second year Chess.
I hate sports media. They couldn't get anything near original to stick so they had to sell a never ending GOAT debate. Now half the bozos with a television or cell phone turned into knuckle draggers over this nonsense. ESPN is a disgrace for this. Basketball IQ isn't measured. It's just a term to describe players that have a deep understanding of the game, or at least an understanding. IQ isn't really measured either. "Systematically", "within the scientific community". It's heavily based on science and mathematics, with little creative problem solving and a decent amount of memory. It's a very good indicator but it is far from perfect. Great for say predicting inventors/innovators. Not for those who end up eventually deciding what happens with those inventions.
@@stevenleblanc8146 Anybody who thinks Lebron is better than Kobe has a LOW IQ. I asked a bunch of my Harvard, Yale, Upen buddies about this, they all said Kobe was better. Smart people have better reasoning skills.
It just means the ability to read and react effectively to the defense and offense on the basketball court. By that logic, mamba mentality (determination) probably doesn't exist because it can't be measured. For example, a current player who has a high basketball IQ is Nikola Jokic because he can easily see his teammates and has the ability to put them in effective positions to score with his passing ability.

Only Bill Russell and Sam Jones (in a mostly nine team league) have made more nba finals appearances LeBron james carried an absolutely horrific 2007 Cleveland Cavaliers team to the nba finals In the modern NBA era (post 1960) only nine NBA top 75 players have won a championship without another top 75 player as a teammate Rick Barry (1975) Bill Walton (1977) Hakeem Olajuwon (1994) Tim Duncan (2005) (2007) Kobe Bryant (2009) (2010) Steph Curry (2015) (2022) LeBron james (2016) Kawhi Leonard (2019) Giannis Antetokounmpo (2021) As you can see, LeBron James is on the list and Michael Jordan isnt Lebron james has won 17 playoff series, without an nba top 75 teammate. Michael Jordan won ZERO In the year before Michael Jordan and LeBron James joined their team and the year after they left their team, their records were 83-84 bulls 27-55 84-85 bulls. 38-44 92-93 bulls 57-25 93-94 bulls 55-27 98-99 bulls 13-37 without Scottie Pippen 00-01 wizards 19-63 01-02 wizards. 37-45 02-03 wizards 37-45 03-04 wizards 25-57 02-03 cavaliers 17-65 03-04 cavaliers 35-47 09-10 cavaliers 61-21 10-11 cavaliers 19-63 09-10 heat. 47-35 10-11 heat 58-24 14-15 heat 37-45 2013-14 cavaliers 33-49 2014-15 cavaliers 53-29 2017- 18 cavaliers 50-32 2018-19 cavaliers 19-63 2017-18 lakers. 35-47 2018-19 lakers were 20-14 when LeBron James got injured on Christmas day. As you can see When LeBron James joins a team, the team improves more than Michael Jordan and when LeBron James leaves a team, the team always goes into the tank. Michael Jordan, excluding the 94-97 seasons, when the NBA moved the three point line to 22 feet, was a career 28% three point shooter. LeBron James is a career 34% three point shooter Michael Jordan was a great defensive player, in an Era where you could handcheck. Playing defense is much easier when you can handcheck. For nearly 6'9 250 LeBron James' entire career he wasn't afforded the opportunity to handcheck. THE EVIDENCE IS CLEAR..LEBRON JAMES IS THE GOAT!!!!! I have added a Postscript So many have replied, that LeBron james didn't make the playoffs his first two years and Jordan did. What they fail to say is, in 1985, 16 of 23 teams made the playoffs. In 2004, 16 of 29 teams made the playoffs. It was MUCH EASIER to make the playoffs in 1985, as opposed to 2004. Perfect example is, the 1985 86 bulls went 30-52 and made the playoffs and the 2004 05 cavaliers went 42-40 and did not make the playoffs. Also, I don't know, possibly, maybe, Jordan had a HUGE ADVANTAGE considering he played three years of college basketball and LeBron James was 19 years old, and straight out of high school
MJ spoke up for the Doc and David Thompson. Gave them huge props and NEVER took away their accomplishments. I particularly liked his glowing description of the Doc. He clearly considered him one of his inspirations. Period.
This guy praises himself more than his fan boys. Just like Stephen A. he has fantastic basketball stories about himself that can't be proven. So now the angle is his basketball I.Q? You want to hear someone with a high basketball I.Q, listen to how Kobe break things down compared to LeBron. Kobe was a TRUE student and Historian of the game.
Tywin Lannister: Any man who must [constantly] say "I am the king" is no true king. LBJ is the living, perpetual reminder and embodiment of that sentence.
LeBalco James needs to talk about these juicing allegations before I even consider keeping him where he is as one of the greats. Silence is telling....
Lebron ain't trash but feeling I get from him is he only gave 100% never tried to that extra that helps you win that gives your teammates confidence that they can overcome their limits to win. For championships have have to give 120% always have to go beyond your limits he just gives me the feeling of not giving your all one thing about MJ is even if you hated him off the court on it he will give everything and more to win . And that's what makes a goat

MJ did say he was the greatest, just not to the media nor in interviews. He had more respect for the game, and for former players than to say that publicly. These midern playes, including LeCap, have little to no respect for former players
To start a podcast to promote yourself as the GOAT clearly exposes how you shouldn't be mention as the GOAT especially if you gotta diss the peers that came before you.

Mj never trashed his team mates , never trashed the greats that came before him . He never had to trash past generations to try and prop him up . The world propped Jordan up . We consider him the goat . He played every game his body allowed him too, never cheated his fans who came to the game live to see him play. Stats and skill sets aside , as just a basketball player, he was a better leader , and loved the game . He changed the game and globalized basketball .
LeBron was incredibly influential... he ushered in the era of the take no accountability, point fingers, whine, flop, and travel, and try to team up with all of the best players of the era to win a championship "superstars".
If Jordan acted like LeBron James, I'd lose all respect for Jordan. How can anyone even be a fan of LeBron? Pumping himself up, calling himself the "goat", bringing live goats to parties, insulting past players, having teammates traded, pointing to stats after losses, etc. How can anyone look at all of this and want to go to bat for this guy? Nevermind the fact that his resume doesn't stack up to Jordan's.
Who did he insult? Also looking at stats can give you clues as to why the game got out of hand. And as far as having teammates traded, yes he has input on roster construction just like every other great player since idk...magic Johnson. It's fashionable to hate lebron james so I get it, but hate him for something that's not a lie so you don't look dumb.

How do you separate yourself? LBJ : Flopping, Carrying, Traveling, Stat-Padding, Pushing Off-arms, Whining, Tempering Big3, Blaming your teammates even when you didn't defend your position.
I've said before, LeBron would be so much more respected if he had the humility to say, "I am where I am because I've stood on the shoulders of giants. I'm a better player because of the influence, example, and road-paving of all these other guys." He should let his game and his fans do the talking.
He should also acknowledge that he has access to much better equipment, strength training, recovery technology, diet, and so much else because of those who paved the way. He would never acknowledge that his success has anything to do with anything but his God-given, er, I mean, self-given talent.
Y’all gotta actually watch the podcast instead of just listening to these agenda push channels because Lebron literally said that he’s great because of those who came before him in the podcast and gave older players their props.
Just sneakers alone, our gym has 3 full courts during peak Friday afternoon packed with students, more people hoop in AJ1, 11 and 13 than LBJ shoes, I am not even counting 34 - 38 released in the last few years.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one noticing all of LeBron's fake humility. Sometimes he's very crafty about pumping himself up. Other times he just calls himself the greatest or brings live goats to parties or has his wife call him "the goat" (respectfully, lol).
Either way, he's always pumping himself up. Rather than EARN respect, he wants to control the narrative and force people's respect.

@bos3835 dude you comment is invalid once you use terms like lefraud . You literally just made a fraudulent statement
Lebron has to try and convince everyone he is a king, that shows he is not a king.
MJ respected others before him, and never said he was a goat or the goat, players and fans did.
That’s a huge difference! Lebron has to get past his ego and arrogance.
The only people that call him king are his fanboys..
MJ did say he was the greatest, just not to the media nor in interviews. He had more respect for the game, and for former players than to say that publicly
LeBron is that guy who nicknames himself instead of earning one from his peers. Nobody respects that.
@@PhoenixAscendingbeing the competitor he is I'm sure that he thinks he's the best if not one of them but like the other before he was smart enough to not discuss it publicly and let the achievements do the talk
Any body who myst say “I am the king”, is no true king
Lebron said AI and Steph are 6’3”. Dude doesn’t even know AI is barely 6’
My thoughts exactly
I'd agree to small stature though,, cause we Asians felt like that,, that's why I have more respect on mugsy over lbj
That’s my first time hearing A.I. give that HOF speech and everything he said was 💯! It got me hyped cuz that’s exactly what most of us thought at the time about the game of basketball, and still do today.
Glad to see this in the comments. One of most amazing things about AI is he was only 6 foot (on a good day). Bron cappin as usual

Kobe isn’t the goat either, he was carried by shaq in the 3-peat and choked to the pistons and Celtics as well. I like lebron but he’s not my goat so get Jordan’s nuts out your mouth

Lebron stole 1 of kobes most iconic lines talking about the beauty of the struggle and the grind is the journey. LeBron said the same exact thing in different words, never mentioned Kobe, to pretend he is so Fucking smart. What a joke.
So if LeBron believes the grind is part of the beauty, WHY DOES HE LEAVE EVERY TEAM HIGH AND DRY? WHY DOES HE RECRUIT ALL THE BEST PLAYERS? WHY DOES HE AVOID DEFENDING HIS POSITION?

Reddick is tortured every day he wakes up realizing he is a plumber of his Era and he's a joke next to Larry. Legon is the biggest joke on the court right now!

I'd take Dan Majerle over JJ Redick. Majerle was more athletic, a far better defender and still could shoot. He was even the first to be pulling up from 30.
LeBron senses this ego out of JJ and is using it to his advantage. JJ can grow his podcast that caters to the 12 to 25 age group, and LeBron can use JJ to further his propaganda.

AI impacted the game heavily from a rule perspective. The guy carried non stop and basically broke the refs so they called less and less. Leading to all carrying and traveling and increased handles.

I loved AI, but you're spot on. AI carried so much that it changed how the refs call traveling or carrying.
Meaning they don't call traveling anymore. Easy to have great handles when you can palm the ball and shuffle your feet.
Kids don't understand because they weren't around to see the evolution of the game, and rather than learn history, they'd rather insult history.

As a Nuggets fan I can't tell you how refreshing it is to have Jokic, not just because how good he is but because everything about the way he carries himself is like the anti-Lebron.

- 9:40 Indeed, who doesn't realize basketball is a possession game. Maybe less so now with these rules that cripple the defense. But it still is and will always be. What am I getting here? Is LeKaren advocating that if the previous five possessions were bad, you shouldn't opt for further (2 in this case) possessions? ...and that's supposed to make him smart. And there's nothing smart about flipping a play, unless the flip is to your shooters advantage and you can force a switch or two (see Golden State) What is smart is being able to feign your 1st, 2nd, 4th etc options - And execution is just as important. That takes teamwork, and since it's pretty clear Lebron has not been a team player...

Basketball IQ probably doesn’t even exist and accepted in the world of science. How were they even able to systematically measure that? Lol 😂

Basketball IQ isn't measured. It's just a term to describe players that have a deep understanding of the game, or at least an understanding. IQ isn't really measured either. "Systematically", "within the scientific community". It's heavily based on science and mathematics, with little creative problem solving and a decent amount of memory. It's a very good indicator but it is far from perfect. Great for say predicting inventors/innovators. Not for those who end up eventually deciding what happens with those inventions.
@@stevenleblanc8146 Anybody who thinks Lebron is better than Kobe has a LOW IQ.
I asked a bunch of my Harvard, Yale, Upen buddies about this, they all said Kobe was better.
Smart people have better reasoning skills.
It just means the ability to read and react effectively to the defense and offense on the basketball court. By that logic, mamba mentality (determination) probably doesn't exist because it can't be measured. For example, a current player who has a high basketball IQ is Nikola Jokic because he can easily see his teammates and has the ability to put them in effective positions to score with his passing ability.

Michael Jordan, excluding the 94-97 seasons, when the NBA moved the three point line to 22 feet, was a career 28% three point shooter. LeBron James is a career 34% three point shooter
Michael Jordan was a great defensive player, in an Era where you could handcheck. Playing defense is much easier when you can handcheck. For nearly 6'9 250 LeBron James' entire career he wasn't afforded the opportunity to handcheck.
THE EVIDENCE IS CLEAR..LEBRON JAMES IS THE GOAT!!!!!
I have added a Postscript
So many have replied, that LeBron james didn't make the playoffs his first two years and Jordan did. What they fail to say is, in 1985, 16 of 23 teams made the playoffs. In 2004, 16 of 29 teams made the playoffs. It was MUCH EASIER to make the playoffs in 1985, as opposed to 2004. Perfect example is, the 1985 86 bulls went 30-52 and made the playoffs and the 2004 05 cavaliers went 42-40 and did not make the playoffs. Also, I don't know, possibly, maybe, Jordan had a HUGE ADVANTAGE considering he played three years of college basketball and LeBron James was 19 years old, and straight out of high school
No, thats Muhammad Ali brother
Ali is the goat of all sports. Man actually stood for something like modern athletes. And Wilt Chamberlain is the goat of basketball.
@@vicepresidentmikepence889Don’t forget to run LeBalco bath water tonight and do the Lawn on Saturday
@@vicepresidentmikepence889LeBalco did that in the Jason terry era
MJ spoke up for the Doc and David Thompson. Gave them huge props and NEVER took away their accomplishments. I particularly liked his glowing description of the Doc. He clearly considered him one of his inspirations. Period.
This guy praises himself more than his fan boys. Just like Stephen A. he has fantastic basketball stories about himself that can't be proven. So now the angle is his basketball I.Q? You want to hear someone with a high basketball I.Q, listen to how Kobe break things down compared to LeBron. Kobe was a TRUE student and Historian of the game.
AI was 6'0", 6'1" not 6'3" 😅😅😅
5'11
AI was closer to 5'10 5'11 than he was 6'
@@TheEsquireofSportsWOWWOWOWWWOW lucky bastard.
Tywin Lannister: Any man who must [constantly] say "I am the king" is no true king.
LBJ is the living, perpetual reminder and embodiment of that sentence.
LeBalco James needs to talk about these juicing allegations before I even consider keeping him where he is as one of the greats. Silence is telling....
Lebron ain't trash but feeling I get from him is he only gave 100% never tried to that extra that helps you win that gives your teammates confidence that they can overcome their limits to win. For championships have have to give 120% always have to go beyond your limits he just gives me the feeling of not giving your all one thing about MJ is even if you hated him off the court on it he will give everything and more to win . And that's what makes a goat
how can someone who's averaged 30, 11 and 8 with 1.8spg on 58% true shooting in the finals since 2012 not be giving their all though
The second JJ used the word "separation" 😒.
That jealousy is a hell of a drug. No one is listening to JJ or LeBum. What did JJ do in the NBA to be remembered? Watch Lebums eyes when breaking down the influential player. 😂😂😂 now Iverson put Jordan and Kobe as the GOAT.

Exactly moron.
2020 Finals are the lowest rated FINALS in NBA history.
He's also responsible for the 2nd worst Finals ratings in NBA, 2007 NBA Finals. 🤣🤡
Bron lies as easy he breathes man. 😂🤣😂
Kobe wouldn't have indulged in this sort of crap.
One of A.I.‘s all-time great plays is only seen as such because it happened VS Michael Jordan. That tells you the kind of star power we’re talking about.
MJ did say he was the greatest, just not to the media nor in interviews. He had more respect for the game, and for former players than to say that publicly. These midern playes, including LeCap, have little to no respect for former players
LeBron pays people to say he's better than Jordan. That's what this is
Micheal Jordan will always be the NBA s GOAT 🐐 POINT BLANK PERIOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just don't see this high IQ that they claim LeBron has
LeBron James loves himself some LeBron James!
It's funny that Lebron said Iverson had more of an impact when Iverson himself said MJ would be scoring 50 a game easy in the modern NBA
To start a podcast to promote yourself as the GOAT clearly exposes how you shouldn't be mention as the GOAT especially if you gotta diss the peers that came before you.
😂Lebron spoke highly of the past players idiot.Why are haters so stupid?😂
I will not watch the new pod...I just hope uncut hoops watches to keep me in the propaganda loop
Exactly 😂 and from the sounds of it, I'm not missing anything but more LePropoganda
facts i love that line "propaganda loop" is sooo true! Lebron is BRIBING people to say he's the goat when he isnt even a top 5 player ever.
MJ took it personal and he’s coming out of retirement…..💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Then lebum would retire, I picture this going like in megamind when titan thought metroman was back and ready to kick his A
He’s just trying to sway them more to his side. I don’t think he believes most of what he says. 😂
I always knew jj redick was a fraud. I always knew he had an agenda. At the end of the day if you make nonsensical observations at that level it’s about $
So all the lebalco ball lickin is about this podcast. Way to go JJ. Why don’t those 2 get a room. Pathetic 🤦🏽♂️
Mj never trashed his team mates , never trashed the greats that came before him . He never had to trash past generations to try and prop him up . The world propped Jordan up . We consider him the goat . He played every game his body allowed him too, never cheated his fans who came to the game live to see him play. Stats and skill sets aside , as just a basketball player, he was a better leader , and loved the game . He changed the game and globalized basketball .
MJ and Kobe are the most influential players of all time curry and iverson are as well but MJ and Kobe are leagues ahead of them
LeBron was incredibly influential... he ushered in the era of the take no accountability, point fingers, whine, flop, and travel, and try to team up with all of the best players of the era to win a championship "superstars".
I love the Lebron slander
Truth
If we’re going strictly on basketball IQ, LeBron still isn’t the GOAT, that would be Larry Bird.
By IQ? Lebron isnt a top 50 player ever. Magic had the highest hoops IQ ever. Then Larry. Then MJ and Kobe.
If Jordan acted like LeBron James, I'd lose all respect for Jordan. How can anyone even be a fan of LeBron?
Pumping himself up, calling himself the "goat", bringing live goats to parties, insulting past players, having teammates traded, pointing to stats after losses, etc.
How can anyone look at all of this and want to go to bat for this guy? Nevermind the fact that his resume doesn't stack up to Jordan's.
Who did he insult? Also looking at stats can give you clues as to why the game got out of hand. And as far as having teammates traded, yes he has input on roster construction just like every other great player since idk...magic Johnson. It's fashionable to hate lebron james so I get it, but hate him for something that's not a lie so you don't look dumb.
@@mikehumes1483 You will learn a lot more in 2 mins video of Kobe's Detail than this 40 minute podcast of nothing.
ANYBODY who thinks Lebalco is better than Kobe has a VERY, VERY LOW IQ.
As in, you can never even dream of getting into Harvard.
What does shoe sales have to do with the impact on the actual game of basketball??
That Be like Mike commercial alone 💨 that trash ass Space Jam remake or should I say reject 🤣
LeBron has exactly one dunk, the "reach back, across the body one handed" dunk
Jealousy & hate are cousins. They are the mother of all fu**ups.Great people learn from their mentors, emulate then perfect the art. A.I, Wade, Kobe all looked up to MJ & tried to rebrand themselves positively. LJ wearing no.23 is a sign of how much MJ influenced his love for the game.The Wilt's, Dr. J, Bill, Kareem.. aided MJ to be who he is & he is very grateful. Respect is a priceless trait in Leadership & if it fades, you become irrelevant. LJ will most def., inprint a legacy; but how it unfolds, is entirely up to him..love & basketball= MJ..2-3 more seasons LJ, time to make amends...twende kazi..🇰🇪
How do you separate yourself?
LBJ : Flopping, Carrying, Traveling, Stat-Padding, Pushing Off-arms, Whining, Tempering Big3, Blaming your teammates even when you didn't defend your position.
First 😂 Bro I just love your videos!
I've said before, LeBron would be so much more respected if he had the humility to say, "I am where I am because I've stood on the shoulders of giants. I'm a better player because of the influence, example, and road-paving of all these other guys." He should let his game and his fans do the talking.
💯His stans don't seem to get that
He should also acknowledge that he has access to much better equipment, strength training, recovery technology, diet, and so much else because of those who paved the way. He would never acknowledge that his success has anything to do with anything but his God-given, er, I mean, self-given talent.
Y’all gotta actually watch the podcast instead of just listening to these agenda push channels because Lebron literally said that he’s great because of those who came before him in the podcast and gave older players their props.
You get separation by traveling, carrying, and flopping
Bron is capping. He said himself in most interview that when he first met MJ, he felt like he met Jesus.
Just sneakers alone, our gym has 3 full courts during peak Friday afternoon packed with students, more people hoop in AJ1, 11 and 13 than LBJ shoes, I am not even counting 34 - 38 released in the last few years.
Bruh I’m not gonna lie yall Jordan stans are weird. I’ve watched the podcast he didn’t diss MJ. Just admit you watched the podcast with the intent of not liking it.
Very true brother! We are still dreaming to have a pair of Jordan shoes till these days.😊😊
Lebron is not in the top 40 cerebral players. JJ Reddick thinks he's a savant. His knowledge of the game is basic.
The fact that he said MJ is MJ and everyone disregards that shows just how blinded people are about what was actually said. That's what happens when u use Haye and bias to guide u.
