I really think LeBron and PG could have been a great partnership and multiple championships. He would have been LeBron's Pippen. The perfect complement.
Pippen so underrated
I totally agree. I think he would’ve been Bron’s best fit
@@harlan5339Pippen and PG have a similar impact but with different styles.
WORD
People dont see how pippen really was getting tough buckets and still getting 20 a game and was like the defensive stronghold. But i digress. I like mike alot its just scottie was a dawg 24/7. He made jordan game so much easier and smoother.
I love these podcast because it tells us the truth about situations that media has been lying about for years lol
No cap
facts!
‼️‼️‼️
I agree 💯 %
Damn PG, him and Bron would have won 2 easy. Their games go so well together. Ive always wanted Pg to play with Bron even their personalities match. Damn damn damn
@@DeeRGbron kyrie and pg
@@DeeRGhealthy? I say cavs
@@DeeRG Did you listen? They would've lost Kyrie in the trade.
@@Fieryvortex48 Honestly PG,LeBron and Love would be a better mix.
@@TheFirstFTWnot at all
I’m here in Cleveland shedding tears thinking of what could’ve been 😢
Same bro
😢😢😢😢
I'm not in Cleveland, and that hurt😢.
Damn prime bron and a prime pg definitely would’ve won a chip possible multiple chips
Hell yeah he didn’t think that through at all
Kyrie is a million times better. Thats just a fact
@@PerishingForLackOfKnowledgekyrie not guarding KD
Pg dumb asf now he’s with the clippers.
@@mandunya change your comment.. even though i agree with you, to make it better you should have said kyrie CAN"T guard KD .. why? because we already seen this in real time so nobody can even be mad at u, once u edit your comment i'll delete this one.. i got u
Maaaaaaan, that Bron and PG connection would've been fire
Dahntay is a good storyteller
He’s good at leaving his foot out 😂
Dahntay forever got my respect for his contributions on the Cavs. Not everything is boxscore & on-court. He was a vet & enforcer!
I really wished my 2 favorite players be in the same team.
Dahntay w the alley
It woulda changed history
Bro at at the end was disappointed when PG told him bron wasn’t recruiting him. He wanted to push LeGM narrative badly. (Dahntay Jones was recruiting) bron unaware playing madden lol
Me personally I love PG, his game has always been played smooth and the right way
you gotta get Lebron on the podcast now..
Paul George and LeBron could’ve easily won a chip together fasho
They will next year
“I’m in the back like PG”
-Dahntay Jones
Paul, could you please set the option to switch the English subtitles to Polish on the channel because I am Polish and I would really like to listen to podcasts but I am not very good at English and there is no option for me to give myself Polish subtitles yet
Thank you very much in advance
You are a great basketball player
Have a nice day and I hope you win your first NBA championship
How did u say if u don’t speak English?
🤣
@@crispkiller6701 because there is such a thing as google translate
@@domequ7787cooked his dumbass lmao
PG get this man some damn Polish subtitles!
Damn That Cavs Team Woulda Been Amazing Smh !!!!
Those finals matchups with the warriors woulda been amazing
That trade from Irving to Boston killed them. I always said it before Irving was traded. Trade him for PG straight up. 😢😢😢
Man that would be fantastic PG bron Love smith thompson and george hill thats matchup.. Vs warriors.. Damn...
Even bron and pg now would be crazy their games fit so well would’ve had multiple chips with bron no way he would’ve been looked at as one of the greatest ever at sf and would’ve definitely won a mvp with bron bro that was a legacy defining choice pg made by not really pushing for that with bron
It was actually on Bird he said. Indy didn't want to trade him to the same division😭
Whenever PG doesn’t want to answer a question he all of a sudden “can’t remember” 😆 definitely learned his lying skills from Bron
He knew that the Bron haters would have created a new narrative to hate on Bron with.
Bron an PG would have been the new version of Magic an Pippen on the same team 😮💨
When was the old version of them? They weren't a duo together.
@@mrsrogers569 I’m just saying that’s what they would have been playing like together
PG seems like such a chill dude
The biggest mistake PG made was not teaming up with Bron.
After the Cavs didn't pull off the trade and he went to OKC he should not have stayed, should have gone to the Lakers in 2018 as a UFA. Lakers kept their core and eventually trade for AD. Unstoppable.
It would never have worked without Kyrie. They would have lacked ability to get big buckets vs KD. Also they basically admitting Cavs were trading Kyrie for PG before Kyrie's trade request.
Bro everybody knows if u actually go to Cleveland it’s super dope !
I remember the Heat and the Pacers go at it in the playoffs. One game both PG and LeBron went off in the first half scoring a bunch. Then, at half-time, one of my favorite NBA moments happened. LeBron and PG looked at each other with the uttermost respect, and gave each other a low five or fist bump. That was amazing to see.
My bad, it was the third quarter. Memory failure from ten years ago. ua-cam.com/video/Q3wi4NnljBQ/v-deo.html.
Damn it PG!!! We could have easily won 2 more chips with you 😢
Dahntay is a cool dude
This would have been equivalent to Jordan and pippen
It would’ve been better than Jordan and Pippin
@@dawg2067 I was having a good day I know that I just didn’t want old heads in the comments cryin 😭
Better
Dahntay still recruiting for next season 😀
Y’all gotta ask him post retirement. Y’all gotta realize PG being a current player still can’t let everything out in the light and be laid back with answering stuff like this.
Should’ve went to the Lakers you’d have 2 rings already
Dallas revisiting questions that were already answered smh.. bruh
🖕🏾 PG!! He had a chance to play with Bron & AD wit the Lakers, but chose the Flippers & STILL DONT HAVE A RING 😂😂😂
I think it was 2018-2019 season which was Lebron's 1st year, we were also expecting PG to go to the Lakers but he chose to stay in OKC. 😂
Who else thinks pg resting his legs on that coffee table is such a flex on his height
PG could've had a ring or two, and LeBron probably would've tied Jordan in rings potentially
Damnnn I wish this would've happened. What a perfect matchup for those finals. Even if Ky left I feel like PG would've been great replacement because not only can he go get a bucket himself, he is great off the ball, spot up shooter, shooting off of pin downs and he is a great wing defender with length on top of his personality meshing with Bron's. Mann.. what could've been.
They would of beat of golden state
Especially in 2018 because the way Lebron was playing that series I think just another top 10 player on the cavs would’ve help him win the chip that year
it’s not too late PG
Yeah it ain't too late PG👀
@@THEMAJORLEVELnah it’s too
Late this would’ve been pg before okc USA ball injury
It is, 40 year old bron and clippers are on a tear right now
Lebron burner account??
so fun talking with people about each peraon's what ifs... and watching them talk about a what if involving PG, it is like DAMN! WHAT IF id did happen...
Man, they would have been so good together. PG’s game compliments LeBron perfectly.
PG’s game kinda compliments everyone.
Heartbreak for me as a PG and Bron lover 😅 bro cmon that was such a great duo
I bet this is the reason why Kyrie ended up in Boston. He must have heard of this and requested a trade.
Listen dude the kyrie situation was already happening
@@Wisestomatoehe’s capping. That’s exactly why Kyrie wanted out. That trade failed because the Pacers parted ways with their GM before the deal was finished and Kyrie did find out and felt like Lebron had something to do with it.
@@IceDizzy you’re capping I think jones was actually in the locker room you weren’t buddy
@@Wisestomatoe this story came out on Bleacher Report when it was actually happening saying exactly what I’m saying. The trade fell apart first and then Kyrie wanted out. Why would Kyrie want to leave if they were going to get PG? That doesn’t even make sense. 😂😂😂 He wanted to leave because he was a major part of their championship and after losing to the KD version of the Warriors, they were going to trade him to a rebuilding team. The details of the proposed trade is even out there.
@@IceDizzy I’ll believe the person that was actually in there buddy
Bron and PG would have been dope together. Hell, Paul had the chance to go to the Lakers in free agency around 2018, but he re-signed in OKC to spite the Lakers for not trading for him.
Hill
PG
Melo
Bron
Love
What could've been
The trade was gonna be love to the nuggets and Gary Harris multiple picks and someone else for Pg. I think kyrie coulda still been on the cavs if they got a PG
I’m from Cleveland
This just pissed me off
Me too
If pg and bron team up that day they sure will win a championship 🏆
Why do we live in a world where Role players tell the best stories.....hopefully this new Netflix shows brings the shine back to superstars
You just said bron said im about to get it done 😂😂😂
Kyrie actually wanted out because this trade that would’ve sent him to Phoenix when they were still trash and PG ending up in Cleveland made him mad. He didn’t want out until after this trade failed because the Pacers either fired their GM or he quit before the deal was finalized.
Exactly, Ky literally talked about this
@@DreChampProductions facts
Who were they trading him to Phoenix for? And was it that they didn't want to pay him? And all that stuff about wanting his own team and getting from under Lebron's shadow was a lie?
@@NickMintz they were trading him and Channing Frye to Phoenix and they would’ve gotten back Paul George and Eric Bledsoe. I can’t really remember who Indiana were getting in return. They were doing it to try and getting a bigger superstar to matchup better against the KD Warriors. The only reason it didn’t get finalized was because Larry Bird stepped down as GM before the deal was finished. And no to that last question. Kyrie meant that, but it he was on that type of time because he found out about this trade
As a Pacers fan, thank God that didn't happen. Feel like we definitely got a good deal, even though it sucked that he left. What really sucked was all this going down before saying at a cancer softball event that the Pacers were his team.
If bron won with Kyrie he definitely would have won with pg maybe 2-3
PG had a chance to come play with Bron with the lakers but he chose the clippers instead. BIG L PG lol
Why did PG not make that leap? Crazy.
PG and LeBron would've been crazy straight highlight reel
My 2 favorite players...
We love the podcast
the idea of PG Lillard and others who never accomplished nothing in Thier careers are considered Hall of Famers is crazy to me😂😂
It didn’t happen bc the cavs didn’t want to give up the picks bc bron wouldn’t commit pass the season🤷🏽♂️, they still should of did it though bc they still would of had pg to trade.
It was mainly because Indiana was in the same division.
indy ended up losin they gm before the trade happened to it fell apart then kyrie left so it was all the way out the window
Bron pg and kyrie would have been cold vs curry kd green and klay
That finals woulda been better then 2016 😭
I swear bron nd kobe never got wat they wanted but kobe was ina better organization to grabs the talent he needed to win. In his early days during certain situations.
wish we could've seen them play together
pg is a 6'9 version of kai. jim and bron would be dope
Keep it 💯 PG13. You never wanted to play with LBJ anyway, otherwise you’ll be a Laker right now.
You can’t convince me that you chose to resign with OKC during ‘2018’ due to Lakers Front Office not trading for you the previous season
OVER
The opportunity to play with LBJ.
Win, lose or draw ??…
you were wise enough to know better to allow yourself to be the scapegoat.
Podcast P with Paul George I hope your next guest is Jaylen Brown 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤
PG on the Cavaliers would have been tough 🔥🔥🔥🥶
Shoulda gone to lakers 2020. Coulda been a damn Dynasty!
I wish PG would one day say why when he was free agent he didn’t go to the Lakers to team up with LeBron. Doesn’t make sense because a signed a 5 year extension with OKC then a year later demands a trade to the other LA team. Like wtf idk why he won’t come ever out and say why did he demand a trade after one year signing a huge extension that never happens. Either you didn’t wanna play with LeBron or you were scared to play with him
Pg woulda been the perfect replacement to Kai man at that specific point in time
David griffin was working the trade, Dan Gilbert give him an ext
I believe at this time Paul George still had too much ambition to be Batman ; I remember him talking about it wasn’t really til he got with Kawhi he realized his best chance to win was to be a Robin & how everyone wasn’t meant to be Batman etc ; I get that vibe that at that moment he still wanted to go at bron not team up
6:34 THIS IS WHY I TRULY BELIEVE LEBRON WILL BE A COACH one day!
Bron and PG would have been a nightmare and that may have been enough to get Bron to stay in Cle. But if I’m PG no chance I’d go to Cle without knowing for a fact Bron would stay
They would have been unstoppable....
✋🏾 “uhh PG?”
-Dahntay Jones
Would’ve went down if David griffin got a new contract but Dan Gilbert was being stubborn 🤦🏽♂️
Facts
Why does he keep saying PG, "PG was this, PG was that" when he is sitting opposite of him.
Thing is PG could have signed with LA. He willingly chose not to play with Bron despite what he said in this clip.
PG where did you buy that shirt? Thanks!
Another tough Cleveland “what if?” 😔
PG5s still the best both indoor and outdoor hooping.
Tragic that it never happened
Lemme tell people in the comments something rn listen the hell up Paul George to the Cavs back then would’ve been mufukn epic that would’ve actually been a fair fight with golden state and the Cavs would’ve won every fuckin series fate just wouldn’t let it happen they would’ve ran through the warriors and Paul would have 2 maybe 3 rings on everything
He would have won with Bron by now that’s facts
No one understands. The main pieces were klove leaving +salary and it was suppose to be PG AND MELO
Ky, bron, pg, melo. Funny enough Pg and melo both landed in okc that szn. It should’ve been bron with them boys, not fucking westbrick
I hate how normalized this team up stuff has become, glad he didn't, more respect the tougher route he's taken
PG + Embiid would be 🔥
They never said why it didn’t work? Why ?
damnnn Prime Bron mentoring young PG? couldve took some from the GSW dominance
Damn I wanna this to happen
PG and Bron both have player option next season 👀 just saying
They would have been a problem together. Frfr.
Thought bro was jackson ellis
I think Podcast like this would relieve a few Bron's haters, but it doesn't! I always thought that people hate LeBron just because!!!! And THEN pass it on to is kids, for no reason!!!!!!!!! Hate Trump and his kids....There is a reason!!!!!!!
Stay in Clippers bro, please 🙏
This should be the biggest What If in NBA history frfr,
Brooooooooo pg a goat 👀👀👀👀
Pg what we’re you thinking 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
Pg brooo
Honestly glad he didn’t go babies honestly I don’t think pg would be enough to beat KD and warriors..
