The media literally tried to break up Tatum and Brown for years. Saying they couldn’t play together, and they literally won a championship last season. I’m not a Celtics fan but they proved that two ball dominant players can play together.
I'd say the difference is that Tatum and Brown are both good wing defenders for instance Brown's defense on Luka in the finals probably got him the MVP over Tatum. The benefit of having two guys like this is you can have one lead the show while the other rests and its a way to efficiently plan the minutes around them while always having a star out there. Together I think they'll be fine, they're both elite playmakers they'll probably feed off each other.
And then watch yall act surprised like it’s brand new. Like you’ve never seen it before. Like you didn’t just comment about it on UA-cam a little bit ago.
The Lakers are already winning and they don't care. They didn't care that the Lakers have only lost to Denver in the playoffs these last 2 years. They already ignore them winning now. They were killing JJ Reddick early now they are silent
Brons giving the keys to Luka is like how D Wade gave him the keys. People said that wouldn't work. People said Kyrie wouldn't want to be a second option before they mixed well. Luka was "not conditioned well" at that time also AND WAS PLAYING THROUGH A LEG INJURY when he carried the mavs to a finals appearance. They'll work together over the next few years and I'm sure bronny will learn a lot from both of them. This is an unambiguous win.
@curtisharolson6643 You can go look up this stuff anywhere on the internet. People were bringing up the "ball dominance" as if two grown men can't figure things out lol the internet never forgets so look if you really don't remember how hilarious these points were.

Lebron is still playing well for his age no doubt but you have to admit he crams some garbage points to inflate his average. A 40 year old professional basketball player has no business playing in closing minutes when the lakers are being blown out.
Lebron lets reeves bring ball up and call plays.. bron has been playing off ball since he went to lakers he even played center for a while Steven a just talks nonsense!
He's been playing off the ball even before that. Go watch him and Wade, or Kyrie. Most Bron points come from lobs, backdoor cuts, coming off pin downs and flare screens
@@rogerhunkapillar7171 But when you just sit on the bench game after game with no set return, you have to entertain the possibility, especially with the trade deadline looming.
@ sure, Luka should have been looking for the Mavs to trade him, after building the entire team around him and less than 8 months from taking them to the Finals.
@mr.anderson3694 Naw, you got Zion and Kawhi on the bench for several seasons with no set return and they're not even the top 15. Luka is a top 3 player who helped them get to the playoffs.

When people say LeBron James can’t play with Luka Dončić that’s the dumbest thing that I’ve ever heard. Maybe it starts off a little rough because I don’t know… the team chemistry not there. But once they get a few repetitions in… LeBron James is the most versatile basketball player ever: he has averaged 20+ points in every position. Last year Kyrie Irving alongside Luka Dončić had a usage rate of 28%. Why is that significant? Because last year LeBron James had a usage rate of 29%. So if Kyrie Irving can go to the finals with Luka Dončić what makes you think that LeBron James who is tenfold more versatile than Kyrie Irving can’t play alongside Luka Dončić? And again like perk said, LeBron James has been wanting to play off ball and wanting Anthony Davis to *TAKE* hold of the reins; averaging 40% from the three-point line over the last two years & JJ Redick has literally said that he’s going to make it so that LeBron James is getting touches without bringing up the ball. Lastly, Luka Dončić brings so much gravity and so much eyes that LeBron James is going to just be able to punch in and punch out. He’s going to be able to give you spurts of prime behavior and then hand it off to Luka Dončić. The whole team has to do less on offense now and can probably give you more energy on defense which they absolutely can do because we just see how they could lock up people during the New York Knicks game.
Not saying I completely disagree, but Kyrie is a much better spot up shooter than Bron which helps tremendously in being able to play off ball. Now JJ can run post plays or off-ball cuts for Bron to help mitigate that (worked for Wade in Miami), but Kyrie’s off-ball and Bron’s off-ball are very different weapons
He hasn’t been trying to take a back seat. He stat pads and doesn’t play defense. He refuses to play off the ball which hurts the development of other players.
His defended him against skip all those years who is the biggest LeBron hater but people like you who aren’t real nba fans and just watch clips and not the games don’t know that do you? HE LEGIT gave all the flowers when they have been deserved and said when he was wrong he just calls it like it is

He hates the Lakers because in his playing career he almost got traded to the Lakers from Philly & then the Lakers cancelled the deal at the last minute & Barkley got dirty at the Lakers for it. He later got traded to the Phoenix Suns. He still holds a grudge against the Lakers 😂
The media loves running the narrative about LeBron taking a backseat as if he’s never done it smh he’s done it with kyrie he’s even done it with Dwayne Wade that first year and he’s definitely done it with AD basically gave him the keys to the laker franchise lol and now he’s just got a better tenant 😂
he couldn't do it with Any of them lol. Wade had to take the backseat so Bron could lead, Kyrie had to take a backseat so Bron could lead, AD was the ONLY Player where Bron was meant to take a backseat so AD could lead but AD never took over the team until last year and this year, but even then the team couldn't properly rally around AD, he just ain't that guy. Luka will definitely be able to take over, he took the Mavs in his rookie season and he'll do the same here, he enjoys the spotlight and the pressure, Bron will step aside and just focus on catching lobs and passes for easy dunks or 3s now. Bron could possibly have a very good scoring season now. Since the team was already somewhat built around bron, that makes it even better for Luka who plays a similar role
Buddy lebron with each one of then hes had the ball more than them. Thats not taking a backseat. The first year in Miami is the closest thing hes ever taking a back seat and hes still Had the higher user rate.
@@jjsyphor8288Well he’s 40 years old now and for the first time in his career he’s gonna be playing with a guy that can make as many great plays passing as himself so he ain’t gonna mind taking a backseat. He already let Austin cook and run the offense if he gets it goin so he will do the same with Luka. He knows he’s not Cavs or Heat Lebron anymore
Which is why nothing spectacular should be expected from this squad right now whether people see it or not the team is going to be building around Luka from now on and that'll probably take a year or two until they're ready LeBron will probably be retiring by that time unless he decides to stick around longer but he won't be the number 1 or 2 option.
Jokic's conditioning is fantastic. He doesn't get tired, and he plays for his national team. He's even worked on his body fat. He looks much better than he did 5 years ago.
They do and they've praised it. Even Spo was amazed by the fact that he can run an offense whilst moving around a lot and still be an effective defensive anchor for approximately 40 minutes.
@eddiejackson7281 I'm saying they don't care for this year really. I think they'll make the playoffs but if they win the championship that's just a cherry on top. The trade for us was meant as a long term investment not a win now. But I could be wrong and if they go out and get a legit center then I guess they really are going for both lol Go lakers.
Charles is getting old . Has no vision. When you’re a professional at that level !!! You make it work in your favor. LBJ WAS ALREADY TAKING A BACK SEAT WITH AD. He’s old and wants to take a back seat to be more effective !!!
Lakers can get Dwight Howard right now for dirt cheap who will play his heart out just to be back in the league. That’s a pickup the lakers need until they find a solid big man for the future 5:17
One thing I do agree with is that Lebron is on his way out. He's already making miracles at 40, but he doesn't have many years left. If Luka was brought in to ensure the Lakers have a superstar post-Lebron era... then it was a very smart move indeed.

Stephen curry is known for his scoring ability not defense , kyrie is known for his offense not defense why does it matter if Luka is not a great defender he just need to be atleast average at defense
@@elijahdacosta6149there’s a difference between not being a great defender and playing absolutely no defense. No one would ever say curry or kyrie are cones on defense because they put effort. Luka is so pathetic on defense that players blow by without doing a move.
Notice how everybody keeps pulling out the reality that LeBron doesn't play well without the ball in his hands you know who did play well with and without the ball in his hands Michael Jeffrey "Air" "Pai Mei" Jordan the Billy-🐐.
- Trade Luka - Get Mavs fans to be angry and resent the organization - Resulting in low viewership, low sales, low attendance - They have now a good reason to move the team to Nevada That's why Mark Cuban's comment regarding this trade is "MFFL" (Mavericks fan for life), because Mavs fans are falling into the trap of hating the team, Mark Cuban does not want the team to be moved to Nevada. He wants the people to stay loyal to the team, or else it's over for the Dallas Mavericks franchise.

Um, ppl are forgetful? Another hall of famer triple double threat PG failed miserably alongside LeBron, Westbrook. Sure he doesn’t shoot as well as Luka, but, play styles can step on each others toes. Basketball is a team sport. Imagine Kobe with MJ on same team, how would that work out?

Shocking how chuck being a nba legend doesn’t really know what he’s talking about, lebron has been asking for something like this for years and has vastly improved off the ball to the point where he is a great off ball player now, this will be an elite offensive duo, when Luka gets doubled Lebron will feast and vice versa, they will play off each other it’s perfect
Lakers not winning without a dominant big. That has been their history with winning titles, Mikan, Wilt, Kareem, Shaq, Gasol, AD. They are not winning with Klebr or Hayes, regardless of Luka and Lebron.
Question who was the last dominant big man to win a championship? You need a serviceable, big man not a dominant. Technically you need a good guard something that the Mavs just gave the Lakers.
@@Donnydon1996 Since the bubble, only the warriors where the team without a dominant big or someone that can score, consistently. Imagine telling Jokic you won't have to deal with AD anymore. lol
Only push back I’ll give is gasol. He was a great player but to say he was a dominant big is kinda nuts. In 18 finals games with the lakers he only scored 20 plus points 5 times and never scored 30. To be a dominant but you gotta put some big scoring games.
@kreed82 The other players playing with Lebron were the ones who had to adjust to Lebron. Not the other way around. This will be the first time Lebron will have to do the adjusting.
@@emmanuelosonaike9275 Lakers sacrificed their best defender and interior presence 2 months before the playoffs lmao. At all costs, they should be avoiding a potential matchup against Denver.
Name one superstar that he has actually fit with and not forced them to play HIS style of ball. That's all LeBron does: he forces the team to play his brand of ball. Luka literally does the same thing. So is this going to work?
@@crater044Kyrie's most iconic shot is literally his style. Almost all of Wade's highlights with Bron is also his style. AD dominating during the 2020 playoffs is also his original brand/style. Lebron doesn't force anyone to do anything, he amplifies them. And what is Lebron's brand of basketball? He definitely isn't a hero ball type of player Or an iso beast? Almost all NBA players that have played with bron or watched bron that Bron's style and brand is the correct way to play basketball.
I’m pretty sure Lebron is fine with being a second option. The real question is is Lebron willing to be more aggressive on defense and crash the boards? And are the role players gonna step up their intensity on both sides of the ball?
Charles skeptical about every star player who teams up with another star lol. He been saying this stuff since the early 2000’s

0:12 Omg of course big head would say that😂😂😂
Charles doesn’t like the Lakers. He said two weeks ago they suck but they’ve been the sixth seed and fifth seed most of the year !
Exactly
I mean if they lose 4 straight they’d be the 9th seed again 😂
He hates the Lakers because in his playing career he almost got traded to the Lakers from Philly & then the Lakers cancelled the deal at the last minute & Barkley got dirty at the Lakers for it. He later got traded to the Phoenix Suns.
He still holds a grudge against the Lakers 😂
" What the hell is Perk wearing right now"
The media loves running the narrative about LeBron taking a backseat as if he’s never done it smh he’s done it with kyrie he’s even done it with Dwayne Wade that first year and he’s definitely done it with AD basically gave him the keys to the laker franchise lol and now he’s just got a better tenant 😂
he couldn't do it with Any of them lol.
Wade had to take the backseat so Bron could lead, Kyrie had to take a backseat so Bron could lead, AD
was the ONLY Player where Bron was meant to take a backseat so AD could lead but AD never took over the team until last year and this year, but even then the team couldn't properly rally around AD, he just ain't that guy.
Luka will definitely be able to take over, he took the Mavs in his rookie season and he'll do the same here, he enjoys the spotlight and the pressure, Bron will step aside and just focus on catching lobs and passes for easy dunks or 3s now.
Bron could possibly have a very good scoring season now.
Since the team was already somewhat built around bron, that makes it even better for Luka who plays a similar role
Buddy lebron with each one of then hes had the ball more than them. Thats not taking a backseat. The first year in Miami is the closest thing hes ever taking a back seat and hes still
Had the higher user rate.
@@johnsepulvedacruz6428 literally said that
@@jjsyphor8288 taking a backseat doesn’t always mean just relinquish control completely
@@jjsyphor8288Well he’s 40 years old now and for the first time in his career he’s gonna be playing with a guy that can make as many great plays passing as himself so he ain’t gonna mind taking a backseat. He already let Austin cook and run the offense if he gets it goin so he will do the same with Luka. He knows he’s not Cavs or Heat Lebron anymore
#77 + #23 = 100
My only concern is they both can't play defense the Lakers gonna run into teams that can score. So they just need to play average defense
Which is why nothing spectacular should be expected from this squad right now whether people see it or not the team is going to be building around Luka from now on and that'll probably take a year or two until they're ready LeBron will probably be retiring by that time unless he decides to stick around longer but he won't be the number 1 or 2 option.
@alphadog3586 right 💯
0:49 How many cows did it take to make Perks jacket 😂
Pigs sheep and goats not only cows🤦🏼♂️
How come nobody ever talks about Nikola and his conditioning 😂😂😂
Because his stamina has NEVER been a question bro 😂 he's very big but he plays and moves very slow as well. His conditioning is very good bro
Umm Nikola plays the entire 1st and 3rd quarter, plays half the 2nd and 4th quarter, and gets a triple double by the 3rd quarter.
Jokic's conditioning is fantastic. He doesn't get tired, and he plays for his national team. He's even worked on his body fat. He looks much better than he did 5 years ago.
Because Jokic plays the center position. When you play the point guard position and are out of shape, people are gonna criticize.
They do and they've praised it. Even Spo was amazed by the fact that he can run an offense whilst moving around a lot and still be an effective defensive anchor for approximately 40 minutes.
This trade wasn't about winning now it was for the future. What are these analysts trying to spin some story for??
So your basically saying the lakers Traded for Luka and there not gonna make the playoffs this year ?
@eddiejackson7281 I'm saying they don't care for this year really. I think they'll make the playoffs but if they win the championship that's just a cherry on top. The trade for us was meant as a long term investment not a win now. But I could be wrong and if they go out and get a legit center then I guess they really are going for both lol
Go lakers.
Charles is getting old . Has no vision. When you’re a professional at that level !!! You make it work in your favor. LBJ WAS ALREADY TAKING A BACK SEAT WITH AD. He’s old and wants to take a back seat to be more effective !!!
Saying lebron and luka wont work ia like saying peanut butter is not good with jelly😂
They’re both Peanut Butter
@@stylustheartisan9485have you never had a peanut butter sandwich? Did it work?
@@stylustheartisan9485dud me they going to cook teams
FACTS! That pick and roll is going to murder the rest of the league.
Once they start winning games together watch they come up with some other excuse like they always do
Lakers can get Dwight Howard right now for dirt cheap who will play his heart out just to be back in the league. That’s a pickup the lakers need until they find a solid big man for the future 5:17
SA is a wild way to refer to someone with there initials. At least say SAS
How can you claim someone who is "out of shape" but he is able to play 40 mins per game. Obviously you need to be in NBA shape to play those minutes.
Why can't he get in shape given what the organization is paying him? Taking into account he's expecting a raise on the next contract.
@@Shaolin91z can you run for 40 mins in an NBA game? Luka can
Charles what about luka and kyrie??
Why does it look like Kendrick Perkins is reading a prompter lol
Kendrick Perkins as the new Blade makes sens.
Lmao nah he should be Black Panther
Charles is wrong, Perk is right…. Lebron at the 4 and secondary play maker. Easy and simple
11:41 - 11:43 what happend to molly? She just randomly started having tics 😂
Molly on Molly
Wow. Didn't notice the first time😭
One thing I do agree with is that Lebron is on his way out. He's already making miracles at 40, but he doesn't have many years left. If Luka was brought in to ensure the Lakers have a superstar post-Lebron era... then it was a very smart move indeed.
Luka had a better team with the Mavs than he has now with the Lakers.
Bro last year his 3rd best player was pj Washington and they made the finals 😂
But now he plays with the GOAT
@@elijahdacosta6149😂
Luka was the reason they were good, the mavs are like 7-14 while Luka was out.
@@elijahdacosta6149 Where where they before the trade for Gafford and Washington? Where were the a year prior? Missed the playoffs.
Y’all gotta stop disrespecting Hayes at Center. We just held the Kat to 11 points. We will be fine.
That's cause of the defensive scheme. They doubled KAT and had Cormac "Prime" Christie who could defend Brunson 1on1.
We Not All Happy About It. AD 6'11" Tall 7'6" Wingspan DPOY Contender Every Year.. Now we Get Luka.. Luka is Great but heres the problem. We all know about the Defensive Issues Now with Lakers Not having a Bigman
But there's a much larger problem..... Luka shoots 22 shots a game averaging 28 ppg 34% from 3 45% from Field.... Hes Not That Nick Kerr Yall Think He Is
Stephen curry is known for his scoring ability not defense , kyrie is known for his offense not defense why does it matter if Luka is not a great defender he just need to be atleast average at defense
Lmao bad take @@elijahdacosta6149
@@elijahdacosta6149there’s a difference between not being a great defender and playing absolutely no defense. No one would ever say curry or kyrie are cones on defense because they put effort. Luka is so pathetic on defense that players blow by without doing a move.
HES fat check the Finals Highlights @@elijahdacosta6149
Right for a guy 6'8" in shoes he slower than Dirk at Age 40 @@MR.__G
Notice how everybody keeps pulling out the reality that LeBron doesn't play well without the ball in his hands you know who did play well with and without the ball in his hands Michael Jeffrey "Air" "Pai Mei" Jordan the Billy-🐐.
- Trade Luka
- Get Mavs fans to be angry and resent the organization
- Resulting in low viewership, low sales, low attendance
- They have now a good reason to move the team to Nevada
That's why Mark Cuban's comment regarding this trade is "MFFL" (Mavericks fan for life), because Mavs fans are falling into the trap of hating the team, Mark Cuban does not want the team to be moved to Nevada. He wants the people to stay loyal to the team, or else it's over for the Dallas Mavericks franchise.
The fans that got interviewed in some news station are also might be a puppet of the higher management, planting to the fan's mind to stop supporting the team.
And yes, the Jew Adam Silver is a part of this
Dallas is still a big market with three big names… there’s at least 8 teams that would be better candidates for relocation than Dallas but anyway their plan is to expand the league with more teams not waste time and money moving them around.
@@hughjanus4198 "Late last year, the NBA approved the sale of a majority stake in the Dallas Mavericks to the Sands Corporation, which operates the Las Vegas Sands casino."
@@hughjanus4198the mavs new owner is a casino owner from out that way and was trying to get Dallas to legalize gambling but they wouldn’t so I don’t think it’s that far fetched could see it happening they probably want to make the 2 combine someway
Zach gotta get outta Sacramento asap
Did JJ know about the trade before it happened
no nobody knew bedsides Rob pelinka and Nico Harrison nobody knew on either side
@ 😱 Nah that’s wild
Um, ppl are forgetful? Another hall of famer triple double threat PG failed miserably alongside LeBron, Westbrook. Sure he doesn’t shoot as well as Luka, but, play styles can step on each others toes. Basketball is a team sport. Imagine Kobe with MJ on same team, how would that work out?
0:51 perk should’ve said “don’t worry bout it ! Don’t worry bout it sweetheart! This that SPLAT!” 😂
As kobe fan, I never thought lebron would win a 5th ring, but now with Luka, he has hope, Luka is elite.
What does being a Kobe fan have to do with anything
The playing Styles just doesn't work. Would Wade he was able to play without the ball and cut. Luca is not that dude. He's like Harding in many ways
Y'all just be talking, go look at the actual stats, LeBron is literally top of the league in off ball.
FACTS
@@theAttris Luka 22 Shots A Game Averages 28 PPG 34% From 3 45% Field Goal Percentage AD Top 5 Defensive Player 25.7 PPG 53% Field Goal Percentage Can Anyone Explain Why Everyone Thinks That Luka Doncic Is A Better Basketball Player Than AD.??? Hes Not That Why 🧐
There's some STATS Mijo
@@TheClaws666not Mijo 😂😂
Shocking how chuck being a nba legend doesn’t really know what he’s talking about, lebron has been asking for something like this for years and has vastly improved off the ball to the point where he is a great off ball player now, this will be an elite offensive duo, when Luka gets doubled Lebron will feast and vice versa, they will play off each other it’s perfect
No way Charles said LeBron can’t play off the ball 😂
He doesn't watch games
LeGM effect 😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😂😅😂😅😂😅😂
Lakers not winning without a dominant big. That has been their history with winning titles, Mikan, Wilt, Kareem, Shaq, Gasol, AD. They are not winning with Klebr or Hayes, regardless of Luka and Lebron.
It’s 2025. You don’t need a dominant big..
Question who was the last dominant big man to win a championship? You need a serviceable, big man not a dominant. Technically you need a good guard something that the Mavs just gave the Lakers.
@@Donnydon1996 Since the bubble, only the warriors where the team without a dominant big or someone that can score, consistently. Imagine telling Jokic you won't have to deal with AD anymore. lol
Only push back I’ll give is gasol. He was a great player but to say he was a dominant big is kinda nuts. In 18 finals games with the lakers he only scored 20 plus points 5 times and never scored 30. To be a dominant but you gotta put some big scoring games.
@@Donnydon1996 You're going to regret those words if Lakers face Nuggets again in the playoffs lmao.
Saying Bron can’t play without the ball just proves Charles ain’t watching anymore
You can tell who understands basketball and who doesn't by those who insist LeBron and Luka are a good pairing
Why don't we wait and see them play some games together before passing judgment?
If Bron could play with Kyrie, Wade and Westbrook. Luka is going to be a cakewalk
Yea the people who say it won’t work are the idiots who don’t know basketball lmao
They might not workout but this isn't about winning right now, the Lakers are thinking about the future without LeBron that's why they got Luka
@kreed82 The other players playing with Lebron were the ones who had to adjust to Lebron. Not the other way around. This will be the first time Lebron will have to do the adjusting.
I see Kendrick Perkins is BACK on Klutch's payroll. SMH.
Lol. It ain't gonna be that easy 😂
LeBron is 40 Luka is 25 and is approaching his prime so yes it's easy for Bron to step back at this stage of his career.
No one knows be quiet
Nah I am talking about perk saying they are a top 4 team in the western conference after this trade 😩
y'all forgot about the Olympics . Lebron mostly play off ball
@@emmanuelosonaike9275 Lakers sacrificed their best defender and interior presence 2 months before the playoffs lmao. At all costs, they should be avoiding a potential matchup against Denver.
@1:35 im gonna abswer your question.... EVERYTHING
AD Way Better Than Luka Yall Nick Kerrs Tripping
Yes Defense
on defense that's it he led a whole team to the conference finals before Kyrie while ad won one series in seven years in New Orleans dumb MFs
Perk dressed like he bout to slay a midnight Rave full of vampires.
Stephen A. always checking out what another man is wearing, I didn't know men watched other men that way, UNTIL HIM 💯
I think he wants Perk to be wearing a suit
You more into lady’s clothes? That’s okay.
Stupid comment
Nice jacket 👌
Yeah, Stephen A wants everyone in a suit, Thats why he said "we will talk later". Perk will most likely be in a suit next show.
😂 Chuck isnt the guy we look for basketball knowledge lol
Lebron has fit with many superstars that were not as good or malleable as Luka. They just hate LeBron
Name one superstar that he has actually fit with and not forced them to play HIS style of ball. That's all LeBron does: he forces the team to play his brand of ball.
Luka literally does the same thing. So is this going to work?
@@crater044Wade? Kyrie? AD (2020) ? Kevin Love? And it's wade by the way who told Bron to become the leader and play his style.
@@crater044Kyrie's most iconic shot is literally his style. Almost all of Wade's highlights with Bron is also his style. AD dominating during the 2020 playoffs is also his original brand/style. Lebron doesn't force anyone to do anything, he amplifies them. And what is Lebron's brand of basketball? He definitely isn't a hero ball type of player Or an iso beast? Almost all NBA players that have played with bron or watched bron that Bron's style and brand is the correct way to play basketball.
It’s crazy that they are arguing “LeBron is so smart he might get frustrated” 😂 bro what
Perk keeps ignoring the fact that the Lakers will be 3 vs 5 on the defensive end.
Easy solution is for Luka and Bron to give more defensive effort.
LeBron plays defense. Who's the last guy that gave LeBron buckets I'll wait
Agreed. I can't believe these analysis don't understand basketball. They always ignore turnovers and forget they have to play defense.
Lmao y’all being so dramatic about their defense , they defense was mediocre even with ad
perks look like applying a body guard for luka 😂
Jordan has Kobe.. Bron need to mold Luka into a better version of himself and prove once & for all he😊 that GOAT
Thank you!
Perkins even laughs fat 😂
Charles talking like he didn't say the Kyrie and Luka wouldn't work only to say they are the best backcourt ever.
The guy that clears his throat as the video plays is diabolical 😂😂😂
Perk's laugh has me on the floor every time 😂😂😂.
PERK!!! Cut it out!!!!
And we listen to Charles Barkley really
LeBron and Luka are a dream duo. Period
Perk dressed up like an undercover cop.. i think thats stephen A's jacket perk is wearing
I’m pretty sure Lebron is fine with being a second option. The real question is is Lebron willing to be more aggressive on defense and crash the boards? And are the role players gonna step up their intensity on both sides of the ball?
This is literally the first time im agreeing with Perk. Its gonna take a bit of time but theyll figure it out
Multiple folks have been ‘pissed off’ starting this week on ESPN lol.
Perkins was on point here, I can’t lie
Chucks predictions never come to past😂😂😂😂
“Lebron can’t play off the ball” while playing countless highlights of bron scoring off the ball😂
It's a rap for the league
Luka Been killing since a teen
