Him and JJ Redick together on the same team would have been the most hated duo in college history
They would’ve averaged a cool 60 points a game together
Lebron wasn’t hated back then though
@@datsapaddlin he would’ve been if he chose Duke over Ohio lmao
@@YRNDon Not really. Plenty of greats went to Duke and wasn’t from the area. Lebron really wasn’t hated early in his career. No one would hate him for goin to Duke. Zion wasn’t from outta state too.
Duke Historicaly has the most Hated STAR players ever… you are such a LeBron FAN boy/girl that you can’t see clearly
Bron giving guest interviews during playoff tournaments like he Snoop or a random in the NFL, yeah the Lakers season is cooked. Enjoy your time off king 😭😭😭
😅 I know right?
He's 38.. dude can only carry people for so long..
Now let's hear something that's useful☺
Dude what this is him on his off time you know nba players do interviews when they aren't playing right
Bonsexuals playing gang defense in the comments section 🙂
I'm a Duke fan and I would've loved to have in Durham but like they said, no way does he not go to Ohio State. Especially then when they were arguably the best team in the Big Ten
This is gonna be talked about on undisputed tomorrow
On god 😂
Love Unk Shay but he be on brons sack A lil too much 🤷🏿♂️
"Which Team Would've Been The Better Fit For LeBron? UNC or Duke? Tomorrow on Undisputed"
@@mikesimmons5470
Lebron's allowed to have ultimate haters and negative baiters 24/7
but he's not allow positive support 24/7 ... FOH!!
Skip: "LeBron was afraid to go to North Carolina, because he knows he wouldn't be able to do what Michael Jeffrey Jordan did for that school."
He would’ve gave them boys 40 in college. He was bullying grown men at 18!
Dude was a grown man in high school with how he was built 😂
different game in college tho.
@@Quan1992 He went from bullying ppl in high school to bullying grown men in the NBA in a span of 7 months, it wouldn't have matter if he was in college.
@@johnnyd1824 I get it, but college is different. Court is smaller and the rules are different. So he wouldn’t give em 40. Carmelo avgd 20 at Syracuse and came in the league and avgd 20, so lebron wouldve avgd something like 19-22 in college as well.
@@Quan1992 bruh most of LeBron's high school games were held in college arenas, in fact all his home games were in the same arena the Akron Zips played in. Court size wouldn't have mattered.
He is a Jordan fan and he respects Coach K. I personally think he would have gone to UNC.
He would of gone to Ohio State lol
LeBron and Vince carter playing for unc together would be 🔥🔥
@@thegolderlock they would never be on the same team smh, Carter played in the 90s.
@@dstack18 I actually doubt he would go to Ohio state considering the time period. The Buckeyes were pretty bad during 03-04(fired their coach after the season) which would have been lebron's one and done season. Obviously they would have been better with him, but doubt he'd want to go to a trainwreck over Duke who had a good team and made the final four that year.
@@kendallandrews8691
That doesn’t mean anything, every team LeBron has ever played on since a child has been bad and then he makes them good.
Lord espn finna be talking about what he said just Now for the rest of the Week 😭😭
Yep first take and all the rest of them
the Media wants to get PAID which is why they've been following Lebron's every move AND every word from 2001-2022 ..
So his real answer is Ohio State. That was an awful team in 2003-04. Would have been impressive if he even got them to the Round of 32.
I mean, lebron’s early identity as a player was about carrying bad teams to places that they shouldn’t of been lol
@@afilleduptaco lol
Nah he wouldn’t have picked them if they weren’t loaded with stars
@@iwishiwasthomasshelby LeBron can say in retrospect he would've gone to Ohio State because that makes him popular amongst his hometown fans. But we all know he would've gone to a school like Duke, North Carolina or even Kentucky before he would've ever gone to Ohio State.
PG - Raymond Felton
SG - Rashad McCants
SF - Lebron James
PF - Jawad Williams
C - Sean May
That would’ve been a championship team for sure 👀👀 at least final four
@@rhetoric9947 they were a championship team without Lebron
Hello!!
Lmao
Jeezus!
That's a squad
I also wonder what college others would have went to like... Kobe, Kg, Tmac, D. Howard, Amare, etc
Lebron - Ohio State
Kobe - Duke
Garnett - Maryland
Dwight Howard - UNC
Tracey Mcgrady - Kentucky
Amare Stoudamire - Memphis
@@clharris7211 why would Kobe go to Duke ? I can see him wearing a North Carolina jersey
Kobe would've gone to Duke, TMac said Kentucky (if I remember right) when he was in the Knuckleheads podcast, Dwight probably would've gone to GA Tech assuming he qualified (that's not a knock on him, GA Tech is just hard to get into). Amare would've gone to Florida most likely, maybe Florida St but I'm thinking Gators. KG I has said Maryland before which makes sense as he would've followed Joe Smith. I'm curious about Sebastian Telfair. He didn't pan out in the League largely because of a faulty jumper but he would've been a monster in college.
@@cyberpsykoh6686 because UNC smart has Vince Carter & Jamison and Kobe would've been Duke's primary option out the gate given their roster that year.
I think Kobe said duke in an interview once
He literally said Ohio Buckeyes first
but they said he can’t say ohio state lol
Pay attention they said he can’t say Ohio state lol
*@Bryson* Ohio is his 1 and only choice ... EVERYBODY knows that,
which is why Sue & Diana removed that choice lol!!!
@@eyewatch2see77 We'll obviously never know, but had the One and Done rule been in place in 2003, I doubt he goes to Ohio State. Ohio State was a trainwreck during that time. They had a losing record in what would have been Lebron's one and done season and fired their coach after the year. I bet he would have gone to a school on top like Duke.
@@kendallandrews8691 we know because BACK THEN he said so ... duh!!
Imagine if you had gone to chapel Hill bro we would have had the two greatest players of all time on the same all-time team
Whos the other player?
@@god-rw5hf Michael Jordan
@@god-rw5hf tyler hansborough
@@kendallandrews8691 him and MJ
@@bsportsanalysis4353 Lebron aint near Jordan
Should’ve just let him pick Ohio State.
Considering the time period, he probably wouldn't have picked Ohio State. They were pretty bad in what would have been his one and done year. Had he been a few years younger, sure, but Jim Obrien's last few years the Buckeyes were a trainwreck.
@@kendallandrews8691 I don’t think it really mattered how bad or good they were, bron was going to shine either way and he a buckeye so
@@MarianaGarcia-dn4yo No agent would ever allow him to do that. Even Michal Jordan picked the 2nd best school in the nation to play for & still only won 1 championship & wasn’t even the best player on the team.
Aren't they more focused on football?
@@willn8664 yes other than a season here and there they are not an elite basketball program
I’m convinced Lebron prob the only dude they would let smash 😂😂
😭😭
I’ll hit If I was Lebron lol
you can tell yall dont get NONE at all ..
they're all friends and in the business of basketball
@@eyewatch2see77 fool you crazy I guarantee I get way more cheeks than you
fr😂
"And that's all I needed. It became personal with me."
During the time LeBron came out of high school I hate to say being a UNC fan but he may helped Duke win another title I'm really glad he was allowed to go straight to the pros lol
If LeBron is on the team, no way does Duke lose in the 04 Final Four. That starting lineup would've likely been Duhon, Reddick, LeBron, Deng, & Shelden Williams. 4 of the 5 had long or relatively long careers & 2 were All Stars.
@@SportsSpeak73 yep that's why I'm glad he went straight to the league lol being a UNC fan and all
@@SportsSpeak73 I'm still hurting from the loss to Kansas even though I had them winning the whole thing before the tournament started and I hated it to be at the expense of my heels but at least we sent Duke and Coach K out with a l just doesn't mean as much as it would have if we had beat Kansas the worst part about that game was being up by 15 at halftime and still lose I still am trying to figure out what happened honestly still shocked plus Bacot getting hurt when he had a chance to tie it with a few minutes left and it went all down hill from there I couldn't even believe that we actually got a last second shot because the player for Kansas stepped out of bounds but we should have scored before on the possession before they got the ball back they outscored us by 18 in the second half depressing loss just as heartbreaking as that Villanova game in 2016 when they won it all against us on a game winning shot that was extremely devastating as well
Lebron on not playing in college.
"That right there made me the greatest college player of all time"
I would've rather they just allowed him to just say Ohio State.
He would be a big dummy to go there. That team was awful. No agent would ever allow him to do that. Even Michal Jordan picked the 2nd best school in the nation to play for & still only won 1 championship & wasn’t even the best player on the team.
@@JC-li8kk not the 2nd best school
@@JC-li8kk and you keep acting like Jordan was Jordan automacially when he got to college
wasnt Ohio the college where sold out tickets and crowds gathered to watch Lebron play high school basketball
so yeah, Ohio being his first choice makes perfect sense ..
She gave him an out to make it interesting
Lebron is a nice chill guy anyone who hates him must not have a life.
yeah i heard he a clown behind closed doors lol
His politics are divisive and radical, he’s not well educated but he is a cool guy
Man diana dissed lebron in Kobe speech. Don’t pretend too be all Buddy Buddy now
Diana was in Lebron's movie, way before Kobe died ... duh!!
she knew she could joke like that .. they're friends ..
I see all this money through my Ohio State Buckeyes
Based on his previous comments regarding coach K, I have a feeling the real answer was Duke but he didn't want the heat.
He'd be 10 times more hated if he went to Duke.
meanwhile he probably said DUKE because of coach K ..
BUT Ohio is Lebron's 1 and only choice ... EVERYBODY knows that,
which is why Sue & Diana removed his real choice (ohio) from the options lol!!!
Lebron gets HEAT every single day,
that noise don't disturb his world .. he has a LIFE
@@eyewatch2see77 Finally
@@doncardi8699 Finally?
Lebron has always been cool, calm and collected, from DAY 1 ...
Lebron's has always had a LIFE where all that outside noise existed, even in high school .. yet despite the MEDIA, etc... LEBRON has ALWAYS managed to rise above it all THEN and NOW ..
those who bring all the noise, are the ones who CANT HANDLE IT 😂🤣
what bothers THEM is that no matter what they say or do, it dont bother him and NEVER has ..
I’m just here for the comments…
Lebron in college would’ve been crazy af
Not really
@@nonamewillbegiven9090 bot
@@DanielRGonza nada
Obviously going straight to the NBA was the right choice for them, but it's fun to imagine how much Garnett, Kobe, T-Mac, LeBron, and Dwight would dominate in college.
They would've dominated in college for 1 season Max than all of them would've left for the draft.
He stuttered. He meant to say Wisconsin
Really? I thought he was going to say Boston College since he obviously has so many fans in Boston.
Wisconsin lies in Canada 🤭
@@DonGivani
as does Lebron's friends AND one of his companies ..
Seriously, great question.
LeQuit is already in off-season mode.
When LeBron retires, you'll need a new purpose in life. I pray you find it🙏🏾.
100%
@@tristancampbell4941
I pray it happens sooner! 🤦🏽♀️
*@SwoleGod7*
Lebron is at home AFTER HIS GAME minding his business ...
so his friends decide to interview him while he's chilling ..
and THAT angers you, huh!! 😂🤣
@@lela658 👍
He would try to trade his college TEAMATES and realize he can't do that
Weak sauce
😅😅😅😪
Mannnn, seeing LeBron in Duke or NC blue would’ve been insane!!!
He’s said this a million times before
He’s taking his talents to Bronny’s team
I Knew LeBron Was A Coach K Fan!
Yeah Lakers are out he seems to be in too good a mood like 2 hours after they blew another game pushing them further away from playoffs, he didn’t play but you’d think he wouldn’t be doing guest spots right in the middle of essentially the playoffs for them.
Are you the Fun police ? Relax
Shut up you were out the playoffs when Kobe was there. I can't stand you entitled Fakers fans
it's NOT the playoffs,
it's STILL regular season .. duh!!
after the game, lebron goes home, then two of his friends contact him for an interview ..
and You're MAD about THAT .. 🤣
Lebron has does post game interviews directly after a game his entire career, BUT this one bothers you, huh!!
Relax he’s the one who is Lebron
He wouldn’t be accepted to duke. They didn’t take players with that background, he’d probably play for UConn, in the big east.
LeBron James was arguably the greatest high school prospect ever, he would've been able to go anywhere let alone Duke without a doubt
Wow imagine if he went to duke or NC lol. So many championships they could have won. Bron is a beast
They could have won 1 championship. He'd been a 1 and done player
And how many Championships did UNC win with Michael Jordan? If it weren’t for James Worthy: Zero. College is different.
No
@@JC-li8kk thats pretty irrelevant
As a buckeye fan living in Toledo Ohio my whole life I really wish he would have went to Ohio State...that's the one thing Michigan fans have on us ... basketball ...even when we had Jackson Baker and jent they had the fab 5 ..all and all they got bragging rights in hoop and James could have ended that
Bron would’ve learned how to play in big moments earlier had he went to college. He would’ve learned how to be clutch in the final seconds of a game and would’ve got rid of those fears early. Probably would’ve translated to more championship WINS in the NBA. By the time he was pro…it was almost like it was too late to learn how to take those playoff shots.
except he has 8 buzzer beaters
LeBron one of the greatest of all time this guy a legend for real
🤏
Yawn
Lebron's the G.O.A.T
@@OnewYork not
goat james
Goat
Of course it would be UNC & Duke, where MJ played at and where Kobe said if he went to college he would've played for Duke those two colleges are basically the lakers & celtics of collegs basketball
How about Lebron trying to play some basketball for the Lakers?
He’s been saying he would’ve gone to Akron for nearly 2 decades
Kobe also said duke ima leave this here 😂
Lebron playing for Duke under Coach K...that would been something
And having JJ Redick and Luol Deng as his teammates.
Not really a shock, Kobe said UNC so he could go at Vince Carter on the daily.
No, Kobe said Duke. He had committed to Duke then he decommit.
@@youreagoddamngenius9099 Dude said UNC in one of his last interviews because he wanted to go at Vince Carter. He was a little upset that Dean stopped trying to get him because he was leaning pro.
Bronny to duke confirmed
Bronny visited Duke when Zion was there
(you dont remember)
Coach K is retiring .. aint nobody going there lol!!
@@eyewatch2see77 Jared McCain is. Pretty sure he’s somebody
Bron at Duke would’ve been insane…like Zion but Supreme level🔥🔥
Zion god Tier with Duke
@@zay222True That’s facts….I’m saying he would’ve been Zion on another level
@@zay222True so god tier they didnt win a chip
@@johna4433 Bron at Duke woulda been a scrawny player still developing his skills. You m/oron
Is it because they don’t need anybody to score a field goal in the final five minutes?
So he didn't really reveal anything at all. Between two teams isn't really revealing where he would've played.
Lebron the type of guy to play for Duke, UNC, and Kansas.
He seems like a NC guy to me…Us old heads remember those teams.hey time to put Kansas in that NC,Duke, Kentucky realm.
Hahahahah he just wanted to go to unc so he can try to break Jordan’s record lol 😂, literally the only reason
Lebron is North Carolina type players while Kobe Bryant Duke type player
King james senior ❤ 😍 he carried those horribly weak old heat teams to 4 straight finals and two titles!!! Game 7 OT 2013 😲 😱 and them carried cavs to THE BLOCK 2016 GAME 7 😲 😱 and all the finals appearances!! ❤ 😍 2nd best cav on those teams JR Smith!!! Then carried kuzma and AD in 2020!!! King grate.. what loyal, humble and amazing player.. ALL HAIL to king james do most with less!!
The heat was weak?
@@kingmichaeln1 yes they were only good because of bron, thats why he was the regular season mvp and finals mvp
@@ValRhapsody so wade and Bosh was trash?
@@kingmichaeln1 they are good but James carried them
Of course he’d want to go to NC.. lol
Ohio is Lebron's 1 and only choice ... EVERYBODY knows that,
which is why Sue & Diana removed that choice lol!!!
so he picked something else that didnt really matter..
Hes got a 9th grade education. So...
actually, he graduated from high and since THEN he's been thoroughly educated ..
AS IF the only means of an education is college ..
goes to show you how dumb YOU ARE ..
Well it wouldn’t be for the education, that’s for sure.
meanwhile he's been educated ..
AS IF the only means is thru college ..
goes to show you how dumb YOU ARE ..
When LeBron retires he should go back to college and play one in year in college. (I'm sure the NCAA would make an exception for him) he should play for the University of Houston. Phi Slama JAMA.
Bron already coming at us live from cancun 🤣. Seriously tho, if this guy went to college and learned to win early, and master the technical side of the game, he’d already have more rings than Jordan at this point. He got to his first finals aged 22 lol
He would’ve went to duke...He’s MJs son like duke is UNCs son
I was sure he was gonna say "UC Irvine" or "Cal State Fullerton".
Like he was/is/will ever be smart enough to go to college…
😆😆😆
you think all these nba players went because of their grades seems like you're less smart than he is.
Legoat chose duke 💪🏾
I could see him having won all four years in college lol who was going to stop him?
Would only have been in college for 1
I was about to post the same thing. Could you imagine LeBron as a senior in College? At that age LeBron carried Cleveland to the 2007 NBA Finals against the Spurs.
Not at Ohio State. Even Michal Jordan picked the 2nd best school in the nation to play for & still only won 1 championship & wasn’t even the best player on the team. No telling what Ohio State would have done to his confidence & draft stock. Might not be the same LeBron we know.
No you cant
Its comical you think he would play in college the way he does in the pros
Duke/Ohio State/Akron/Shanghai
Lebron: how about you show up to play against top teams. Looks to me like your are quitting yet again. Swept twice... Quit many more...
you're username is a LIE
just like your comment is a LIE
Ain’t gone lie a 6 North Carolina James jeresey hard
Even if he did play in college, he probably would still find a way to trade everyone
Would bring in the bench players
stewpid
How can LeDummy go to college with a grade 6 education LeLol
Great question
Not surprising at all. Would've boiled down to Duke
Bron is the greatest to ever play the game of basketball. No one comes close.
just so everybody is clear, bron wouldve went to Ohio State lol he’s said this numerous times. if not there then he would’ve went to duke. today he said duke/unc, but still both were after ohio state. kobe also confirmed he wouldve went to Duke
Ohio is Lebron's 1 and only choice ... EVERYBODY knows that,
which is why Sue & Diana removed that choice lol!!!
He would be a big dummy to go to Ohio State. That team was awful. No agent would ever allow him to do that. Even Michal Jordan picked the 2nd best school in the nation to play for & still only won 1 championship & wasn’t even the best player on the team.
@Rowdy Jr kobe wouldnt have gone go a underperforming school like that bro come on now lol KOBE was the #1 name in high school. you think he would’ve went to a school where there was minimal attention? nobody is that die-hard about their hometown.
@@finlitfootsteps7467
Lebron is diehard about his hometown
he even provided his hometown a SCHOOL
@@JC-li8kk
Lebron charters his own path ..
Lebron wouldve went where he wanted to go > to OHIO
Lebald back again
Isn't it common knowledge that LeBron would've gone to Duke? I have no clue why they're acting like Ohio State was a lock. He supports the FOOTBALL team for obvious reasons, but there's next to no chance he would've chosen to play for Jim O'brien and star alongside the likes of JJ Sullinger (not to be confused with his All American brother, Jared) and Velimir Radinovic (not to be confused with former NBA player Vladimir Radmanovic).
Duke because of the culture. UNC because of Mj.
doesn't even ruffle feathers that's a smart answer feathers lo
Well he wasn't gon' say Michigan that's for sure
Bron at Duke would've been Zion on steroids
Thought he wouldve thrown Akron in there for obvious reasons. Imagine him taking THAT program to a deep march maddess run and winning it all??
What is it about the best players going to that boring state?
It’s something I don’t get.
Why not LA, NYC, or Miami?
At this time thsts the best and safest answer. Any other team then this would be all over espn don't be surprised this won't be on espn especially skip he have a field day
He's a buckeye if they are winning, just like he is a Yankees, cowboys, rams, browns, dodgers fan
This is a April fools joke 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tar heels or Duke LeBron might have won a college chip or two on either of those schools.
Watch they make that a topic tomorrow morning on first take and the rest of the shows
He would have joined the most stacked team at the time
Lets all be honest here. LeBron would've never gone to Ohio State. He likes to say that now since he can't be proven wrong but he's a frontrunner and would've gone to North Carolina, Duke or maybe even Kentucky.
Bro imagine a young Bron in a Duke jersey smh that's real tuff Bron, JJ, Boozer, White chocolate sheesh
Imagine LeBron playing for North Carolina, wearing the same uniform as Michael Jordan. And potentially getting them a championship 🏆
Nope
Kobe said he would have went to DUKE> imagine the unique outcomes if things worked out differently
Smart choices for Lebron
Bruh they just created a hypothetical situation within a hypothetical situation
and NOW people will create a NEW false narrative
(starting in the media tomorrow)
It wouldve been Ohio St. After that it wouldve been Duke.
See the media make a topic out of this. "Who would have been Lebron's team mates had he gone to Duke or UNC & would they have won the Championship?"
Goats can only be Tarheels.
Wasn’t this right after they lost?
Lebron is at home AFTER HIS GAME minding his business ...
his friends decide to interview him while he's chilling ..
is he suppose to be crying because FANatics are crying ... 🤣
Kobe said this years ago. He had to copy Kobe
LeCap James
Queen definitely would have made the UCONN woman’s squad.
