Being 40 is NOT an excuse. He chose to continue playing. He chose to demand s huge salary. He chose the coach. It's either he's healthy with the talent around he needs, OR is he's too old and should retire.

LeBron is the biggest problem with the team. He will not take a lesser role on the team because he wants his numbers. He doesn't care about winning, he's accepted he can't catch Jordan in that sense. So he's determined to make his legacy/argument stronger by padding stats at the expense of winning, the team, the roster, basically everything other than him. Even bronny was just to make a flowery addition to his documentary.
Aside from the obvious stat padding, he took max money and even get paid higher than AD who plays on both ends. How can this team even build a roster. Even Low's idea of putting a better number 2 besides AD and use Lebron as an actual 40 yr old player and make him the 6th man or so wouldn't work as Lebron is taking most of the team's budget and also needs the ball majority of the time.
@@YuriusFarrence If he really cared about winning he would have gone somewhere else where he had a better chance to win regardless of money. And he would have actually allowed a proper coach to be hired instead of a yes man coach like Reddick.
Context: Why hasn't Lebron got back in transition defense all season long. JJ Reddick is a puppet disguised as a coach. He can't answer a question at the post conference..
Blaming Jj for the lack of talent on this roster is the casual take. This roster has been the same for years. Blame rob pelinka for not knowing how to do his job
@VinnieRodrigues0 Blaming JJ because he isn't holding his Stars accountable. The only casual take is shifting blame on the roster when it's 95% of the same roster from last year. That I NEED MORE HELP has been played out sir.
This reminds me of the Adrian Griffin getting fired and doc getting hired. Despite the fact that he had a winning record, people thought he was a bad coach. Sometimes the record speaks for itself.
Tbf I don't think coaching is the issue. In fact they're on their third HC in the last 4 years and the record is pretty much the same. That speaks to the GM being bad
@MindfulAttraction2.0 I feel that bro trust. I just don't think he's getting the same heat cause he ain't as bad. Like he is getting a lil hate, but people realize he's okay and there's bigger issues at hand.
@@Grandmaster_Vicyeah but I feel like at 40 they should expect that. Outside of them their best player would be a 6th man on any of the top 5 teams in the nba. I say trade bron to a contender and get some pieces and picks. I have a feeling bron ends his career in Cleveland.
LeBron ruined his legacy by acting like a GM. Wesbrook was LeBron. Jj reddick was LeBron. Darvin ham was LeBron. Bronny was LeBron. LeBron ruined the lakers
@@tk78junior64 2020 championship was also LeBron, he has his issues but he didn’t “ruin” the lakers. The lakers weren’t even that good before he got there.
LeBron cannot be your primary weapon at age 40 or he can't play all 82. They either have to tell LeBron to sit and rest and stop desperately chasing Jordan or take a lesser role. Both of those things will not happen because of his ego. That simple.
@@tk78junior64 Austin Reaves is more than capable of being the primary ballhandler for a majority of the game and Anthony Davis is more than capable of being the shot leader.
@@tk78junior64 If LeBron took a lesser role they’d be better. Much better. He is haemorrhaging the Lakers whenever he’s on the floor and is the worst defender on the team rn. He is the real issue and most stats prove it. I can guarantee if he got DNPs the Lakers would be much better. Rui, Reaves, D’Lo, Knecht and AD is enough offensive firepower to win regular season games. Bron is single-handedly losing them games with his high usage, touches and time of possession inefficiency.
@@olivercrespo2329 No i'm talking about impact tho, sure Reaves is a good ballhandler but it's not enough and Anthony davis is too inconsistent with his shootings

Queen James was Patting his stats that was a clear example no where in the world if u getting blown out the Star Player is still in the game he should have been on the bench
@@morgan8514so what does he do? Let that trash ahhh roster keep bricking? Like common scoring is stat padding? He’s literally 40 and was the only a be who could get the ball in the hoop
@@Ryyan2xhis stat padding hurts the team. Lakers are better when they run the offense through AD. No one is in a good rhythm when LeBron is hunting for stats and slacking on defense.
Well I think what it is which you make a good valid point about defense but it’s not just Lebron it’s a team thing they are all out there looking at AD to take care of the defensive load which like low said leads to poor offensive performance. I promise if the defense of the laker has more pieces their offense will improve, not to championship or WCF level but will certainly look better. I think a lot of ppl are just finally able to genuinely critique and say Lebron isn’t fully contributing to winning so they are taking it and running wit it but I think it’s way deeper than just that
Lakers won that Celtics game without AD and Lebron when Lebron was clearly trying to make Ham look bad, and it was actually a relatively easy win. They still need AD but they don't need Lebron. I recall Ticket (along with Angry Old Hoops, Uncut Hoops and several others) talking about this...for two seasons now (if not longer). No one would begrudge Lebron playing 10-15 minutes a game with effort and some occasional great play but he's been needing to do that for 3 season now, at least. But he's a horrifically insecure narcissist who should never EVER be mentioned even in the top 10 again.
I despise lebron but I don't think there are 10 players better than him. Unfortunately he has a lot of accolades and even tho I hate him I can't take that away from him.
I think Lebum munchers are the most disgraceful fanboys of all time. Never in life did I think people would be so delusional that they would hold a copper Disney Land trophy with no fans/pressure from the crowd over Kobe's 5 championships. I can't stand LeBron's male cheerleaders.
Makes me sad. He was the heart and soul of the lakers franchise. Lebron just switched teams and got a ring and now he's the face of the franchise? Like what the hell...
NBA? The Lakers organization is to blame for this dumpster fire, they have been the worst organization in basketball for a long time. The only decent part of that organization is their ability to draft decent players late in the draft. Jeanie Buss is incompetent and hires people who are the same, they handed the keys to a aging superstar out of desperation and have no control at all anymore.
I'm glad that kobe is finally being honestly reviewed. I feel like just because of the accident, people kind of forgot that he was a ball hog who bricked alot.
Being an X and Os guy vs a Motivational guy doesn't matter if the results are the same. Kenny Atkinson fired from Brooklyn but suddenly works with the Cavs. Did he suddenly become a great coach? No they worked hard to get the right pieces and talent and then struck gold with Kenny. Nobody mentions Phil Jackson and his X and Os. The issue is a teams basketball culture and when you hired a guy with no experience who is friends with the aging star player and then you draft his son who isnt a NBA talent and tell everyone he earned it nobody believes you. You are effectively the Dallas Cowboys, great individual talent but piss poor culture and a coach nobody cares about except Lebron.
I agree. Cavs kept the exact same team and added coach Kenny and they are playing well. Lakers keep the same team added a new coach and it’s not working
I been watching low for years and followed him even before he was regular showing his face and personality I love how entertaining engaging and educating us keep it up low!
Ive been a life long fan of the lakers. The day kobe left, the team hasn't been the same. I miss mamba mentality. That we gonna win no matter what attitude. I know lebron has the stats and all but I would much rather have an older veteran kobe over lebron. That man played his heart out for us and gave us many many great memories! Rest in peace king. THE REAL KING OF LA❤
Bruh said a way better roster mf that’s cap lmao he read the same roster and named dalton who is better than any bench player he named when ham was coach lmfao
Then lakers do this every season. They start well, everyone says they are a contender, they lose a bunch before the trade deadline, everyone says that they should trade everyone and makes a bunch of unrealistic trades, they trade no one, they do really well to end the season when everyone else is resting for the playoffs, they lose in the first round, lakers fans scream and call for everyone's head when they never had a chance to begin with.
Can someone please tell me who this is dunking at 5:40 I tried to google players that wore #55 for the lakers but I can’t find him or recognize him, somebody please help🙏
3:37 I’m pretty sure I’m late to this little video clip but this was the first time I’ve seen it and I literally couldn’t stop laughing at this clip for about two solid minutes. My dude looking lost in the huddle lmao!!
The expectations people have for Lebron teams is the problem. This is a mid-tier roster in a stacked conference. The only reason people believe the Lakers are serious contenders is because of Lebron's popularity and his constant media coverage.
All these intricate plays JJ got that’s equivalent to Newton Law still got the Lakers at the bottom in every category in offense. So what’s the real difference with JJ and Darvin Ham
Nothing. This man is trying to talk himself into thinking JJ is so great and then guess what he says in the end? He says the roster is trash😂…Where was this with Ham? Ham was so bad that the players knew how to win without a coach I guess last season. And now they’re worst with the next Pat Riley 😂
@ JJ Reddick got mind control over Deebo with these fools. LOW might see the light when the Lakers schedule gets tougher and they continue to blown out by good teams. LOW doesn’t have a clue about coaching in the NBA. LOW relates with JJ analytical mind but there’s more to the game than that. Every reasonable person knows JJ sucks as a coach but the fools will be tricked by the fake genius JJ Reddick based on what he said on his podcast
@ I admit Darvin Ham had his flaws. I don’t think Ham had a clue about Xs and Os but Xs and Os are only useful in offense. Defensively, Lakers were way better with Ham. Defense is something you can teach in practice and execute in the game. Defensive principles like boxing out, contesting shots and rotating isn’t needed for Xs and Os but just cause your not using Xs and Os doesn’t make you a bad coach. I’m not even saying Darvin Ham was a good coach but Xs and Os being the end all be all for being a good coach is something I don’t buy into
@ you can teach Xs and Os with a Lebron led team always. 90 percent of that stuff goes out the window. Ham is so bad that lakers fans wanted his head and yet JJ the better coach, has the Lakers basically ranked dead last in every category. Especially the defensive side. That’s one thing an arrogant coach like JJ should be able to fix or maintain from the previous seasons.
No. Jordan never played this bad. And he was playing on a bad knee both of those years. What you're seeing is LeBron not being aided by steroids. Father time is undefeated
@@odizza1688 okay buddy as if LB doesn't have 6 complete seasons played on MJ. It's even more crazy when you realize that LB is consistent. MJ's averages were still poor just like every other 40-year old nba player. It's already self-evident not a single NBA player in history comes close to Lebron's production given total seasons in the league
@odizza1688 Do you know how steroids work? They improve player performance at the the COST of health. If Lebron was on steroids he wouldn't have any type of longevity.
Is Lebrons’s team impact at 40 better or worse than Jordan at 40? Keep in mind Jordan had knee issues and had only been back in the league the year prior after taking a couple years off, which is as big as a handicap to his game than LeBron having to a lot of games on his body. Jordan’s second best player was Jerry Stackhouse, while LeBron has AD.
Capping for JJ is not the move. LeBalco using his staffing firm again or I mean Klutch sports to pluck another player from Nola. Only Klutch players want to play with him. The other prime and younger players have no desire to play with Lebron. Rob can’t negotiate with agents and players bc they are cool on Lebron. Lol once he leaves LA will become desire again.
It's wild to me that any of these so-called fans believed in the Lakers with this roster construction. Old man LeBron eventually was going to slow down and this year he's doing so. AD is still fantastic, but he can't carry the team entirely by himself. Plus the other players that surround those two are not a strong enough roster to make up for their deficiencies. Especially in a stacked Western Conference. I'm not sure there's any other Western Conference playoff team that has a weaker #3 player then the Lakers do. But they get that LA hype bump like all those delusional "THT and a pick" days 🤣
do you know how much salary cap space lebron is getting?? we dont even put bronny into context.. thats the main reason lakers cant and wont win another ring.. if you give lebron what he's really WORTH.. then maybe you could acquire another superstar player and have a real chance of winning
@@legenddaryl537Literally this... why is he still earning a max??? He doesn't play defense... so he should only earn half his salary, right? Like damn, to only play one side of the court, but still get paid like a full time player, must be nice lol.
I’m confused about what y’all expect? They basically have the same squad with a rookie coach, so duh they’re gonna perform the same way they did last year. 😂
Hold up the Lakers got A Podcaster as an Head Coach with no Coaching Experience at all and he is EXPOSE getting slap around he should be fired by now The Lakers is a Clown show what happen to the Lakers Organization from 1991 to 2017 that was winning championship Miss the Phil Jackson years
Phil Jackson was THE MAN!!! they need a coach that level or similar to at least start to turn things around before it gets to last years pistons level of disappointment, and from the looks of it we're pretty damn close already!
Idk why ppl keep talking about them and being surprised the roster isn’t good and Lebron is 40 the best thing about this team is jj reddick and AD and that’s it oh and dalton knect when you gotta rely on a 40 year old to be the best player on some nights and the second best player most nights it means the team is Hot boo boo
Lebum has the 7th worst finals plus minus ever: Minus 86. Michael Jordan career finals plus minus: Plus 45. Kobe Bryant's career finals plus minus: Plus 36. MJ times shooting at least 80% or higher from the free throw line regular and post season combined: 26 times in 13 years. Lebum shot 80% or better from the free throw line ONCE in the regular season and postseason combined in 21 YEARS. 🤢🤢🤢😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣 Even at 40 years old Jordan shot at least 80% from the free throw line but Lebum is supposed to be so skilled as a player though. 😂😂😂
15:16 Yea, these dudes are braindead. Look at that roster. Breh. Best player is in his 30s and has glass bones. 2nd best player is *FORTY* ! 3rd best player is A *ROOKIE* ! Also, idk how or why people forget how important this is, THEY ARE TINY! LIGHT IN THE AHHH! They aren't even close to a playoff. Don't even bring up a chip.
I was about to let you have it if you were just trashing them but I can’t even cap, you’re right. Damn dude, I would watch this video before the game against the hawks today too man. Now I’m nervous for them.
"a bounceback game against miami" with -20 +/- despite efficient shooting. You acknowledge he's a statpadder, so don't claim the problem is everyone except LeDictator. Dont worry though, now that Brandon Ingram is with Klutch, he'll come back to the Lakers for pennies.
Only push back I’ll give is Jokic or Embiid isn’t asked to the things defensive that AD has to! They can focus on dominating offensively then they’ll get their praises. If AD doesn’t be superhuman every game then he’ll catch strays from every direction. Meaning I wish Rob Pelinka would bring in some help so AD can be fresher in the 4th like a Jokic. Overall though great breakdown LOW 🔥
Didn’t Ham take the Lakers to the Western Conference finals??? 🤔 This is an L take LOW. There’s literally NO evidence that RedHick is better than anyone at coaching. What a LOW Light!
As LA native hearing you say "I'm a Lakers fan" while having a Boston Celtics jersey on the wall is making me itch. F the Celtics, as a staff, record label and mfing crew.
No I think Darvin ham needs an apology people are being biased towards him. Plus jj is a fan favorite so no matter the record the lakers have people will make excuses for him and the same excuses they make for him they use to to bash ham roster has nothing to do with it ham took this team to the Confernce finals and the only reason they can’t get further in the playoffs is because the lakers can’t beat the nuggets that has nothing to do with ham. Jokic is the best player in the world and LeBron has been past his prime for 5 years. Leave Darvin ham alone.
STOP SUCKING OFF LEBRON. Like goddamn, say the real issues. Bron is hurting this team. The offense shouldn’t always go through him. His defense sucks. He has no leadership even though he’s the oldest one there and most accomplished. His body language sucks. Pretty much change your system. Play faster. Prioritize defense and team play. Stop doing the same things making you lose. Thought these guys are pros. Looking like a bunch of 🐱🐱
Father time has caught up with LBJ and its showing. JJ and the rest of the media are trying their best to make Lebron look good and its ugly. Charles was right about Lebron, he had the best players on his team and he still complaining about needing help, also, the sports media is saying Lebron needs help is ridiculous, he has the best players on his team and most of them are on the 75 greatest anniversary players in NBA history! 😂
all i heard was excuses after excuses after excuses.. THE LAKERS won't win another ring under lebron as a starter, the major problem is him not darvin, not pelinka, him fake goat 23.. if it wasn't for that bubble season lebron should of been 0-7 as a laker. EIther trade/bench/or him retire is how the lakers will find peace actually jeanie has to sell the lakers she never told lebron no and let lebron built these awful teams. We real laker fans that hopped off the lakers when lebron became a laker knew lebron was maybe going to win a ring and from there spiral and crash.
OWNERS being one of the poorest in the league is also the problem with this team.. jeanie buss became a yes man because lebron has more wealth than her
Solid ass video dawg. The only thing I disagree with is the lakers roster being better on that conf finals run than now. I just think they’re severely under performing especially on defense. DLo def needs traded but I also think we need vandy healthy. Hopefully the bulls want dlo and max Christie for vucevic. That’d be ideal
A chip is a chip but the bubble championship is looking more and more questionable with each year that passes, pelinka and Jenie gave LeBron way too much pull in the teams big decisions, reddick is a much better coach than ham yes (a very low bar btw) but he still needs more experience, they wasted a draft pick on a player who was no where near nba ready to please him in an era where more and more nba ready players are being found in the second round, the countless trades that LeBron undoubtedly pushed for and to top it all off they nearly maxed a player pushing 40. LeBron is an amazing player and will always be remembered as such but that does not translate into managerial experience(Jordan being a prime example), he is not going to be as knowledgeable as people who’ve been putting together teams and basketball schemes their whole life. The only way the lakers could truly recover is if they trade him or at the very least shut him out of front office decisions
Honestly, as much blame as an Owner like Jerry Jones gets, Buss needs to take a lot of blame here. Her front office is TERRIBLE and it's been terrible for years. Like they say, you either coach it or you're letting it happen. LeBron's worst decision was to join the dumpster fire Lakers
lakers fans are so delusional that they’ve been saying that they’re still contenders for years now
Lakers fans casuals* FTFY, No real Lakers fan were saying that, especially coming into this season lol.
CASUAL LAKER FANS

Aside from the obvious stat padding, he took max money and even get paid higher than AD who plays on both ends. How can this team even build a roster. Even Low's idea of putting a better number 2 besides AD and use Lebron as an actual 40 yr old player and make him the 6th man or so wouldn't work as Lebron is taking most of the team's budget and also needs the ball majority of the time.
@@YuriusFarrence If he really cared about winning he would have gone somewhere else where he had a better chance to win regardless of money. And he would have actually allowed a proper coach to be hired instead of a yes man coach like Reddick.
@@mushrifahmed8107 Yeah sadly the Lakers are screwed from top to bottom including the ownership.
This. And the Lakers front office doesn’t care about winning, they just want the additional revenue that LeBron brings in.
LeBron is a giant anchor dragging this team down.
Context: Why hasn't Lebron got back in transition defense all season long. JJ Reddick is a puppet disguised as a coach. He can't answer a question at the post conference..
It’s hilarious JJ Reddick acts like he’s some basketball guru talking about he watches film in the pick dark like man sit tf down somewhere
@Hcfzx And they called him the second coming of Pat Riley more like Crap Riley. This is an embarrassment to Laker Fans.
Blaming Jj for the lack of talent on this roster is the casual take. This roster has been the same for years. Blame rob pelinka for not knowing how to do his job
@@VinnieRodrigues0 Wait so why did laker fans hate Ham when he had the same roster like just shut up nut hugger
@VinnieRodrigues0 Blaming JJ because he isn't holding his Stars accountable. The only casual take is shifting blame on the roster when it's 95% of the same roster from last year. That I NEED MORE HELP has been played out sir.
This reminds me of the Adrian Griffin getting fired and doc getting hired. Despite the fact that he had a winning record, people thought he was a bad coach. Sometimes the record speaks for itself.
Tbf I don't think coaching is the issue. In fact they're on their third HC in the last 4 years and the record is pretty much the same. That speaks to the GM being bad
Bro Darvin was still ass. 2 things can be true at once. Darvin was a trash coach AND the roster is terrible.
At the end of the day, if you're winning, you're winning.@@Jumbo_boog
@@Jumbo_boogI just think JJ redick deserves some heat. Cuz they killed darvin for less
@MindfulAttraction2.0 I feel that bro trust. I just don't think he's getting the same heat cause he ain't as bad. Like he is getting a lil hate, but people realize he's okay and there's bigger issues at hand.
Never wanna hear AD and MVP in the same sentence again😂

@@Grandmaster_Vic.
@@Grandmaster_Vicyeah but I feel like at 40 they should expect that. Outside of them their best player would be a 6th man on any of the top 5 teams in the nba. I say trade bron to a contender and get some pieces and picks. I have a feeling bron ends his career in Cleveland.

@@ninjagame64 THE BUBBLE RING DOESNT COUNT
If you really think the 2020 ring fake then I can't take anything you say about basketball serious
LeBron cannot be your primary weapon at age 40 or he can't play all 82. They either have to tell LeBron to sit and rest and stop desperately chasing Jordan or take a lesser role. Both of those things will not happen because of his ego. That simple.
he won't take a lesser role because there's no one else to fill that role
@@tk78junior64 Austin Reaves is more than capable of being the primary ballhandler for a majority of the game and Anthony Davis is more than capable of being the shot leader.
@@tk78junior64 If LeBron took a lesser role they’d be better. Much better. He is haemorrhaging the Lakers whenever he’s on the floor and is the worst defender on the team rn. He is the real issue and most stats prove it. I can guarantee if he got DNPs the Lakers would be much better. Rui, Reaves, D’Lo, Knecht and AD is enough offensive firepower to win regular season games. Bron is single-handedly losing them games with his high usage, touches and time of possession inefficiency.
@@olivercrespo2329 No i'm talking about impact tho, sure Reaves is a good ballhandler but it's not enough and Anthony davis is too inconsistent with his shootings

The Lakers rank 29th in every Defensive Category. You already lost that Argument.
You think LeBron had a 'bounce back game' in a 40 point loss?? C'mon, man.

@@morgan8514so what does he do? Let that trash ahhh roster keep bricking? Like common scoring is stat padding? He’s literally 40 and was the only a be who could get the ball in the hoop
@@Ryyan2xhis stat padding hurts the team. Lakers are better when they run the offense through AD. No one is in a good rhythm when LeBron is hunting for stats and slacking on defense.
Well I think what it is which you make a good valid point about defense but it’s not just Lebron it’s a team thing they are all out there looking at AD to take care of the defensive load which like low said leads to poor offensive performance. I promise if the defense of the laker has more pieces their offense will improve, not to championship or WCF level but will certainly look better. I think a lot of ppl are just finally able to genuinely critique and say Lebron isn’t fully contributing to winning so they are taking it and running wit it but I think it’s way deeper than just that
Lakers won that Celtics game without AD and Lebron when Lebron was clearly trying to make Ham look bad, and it was actually a relatively easy win. They still need AD but they don't need Lebron. I recall Ticket (along with Angry Old Hoops, Uncut Hoops and several others) talking about this...for two seasons now (if not longer). No one would begrudge Lebron playing 10-15 minutes a game with effort and some occasional great play but he's been needing to do that for 3 season now, at least. But he's a horrifically insecure narcissist who should never EVER be mentioned even in the top 10 again.
I despise lebron but I don't think there are 10 players better than him. Unfortunately he has a lot of accolades and even tho I hate him I can't take that away from him.

As a Lakers fan…how do you feel about the NBA diminishing Kobe Bryant’s legacy and greatness to prop up Lebron?
I think Lebum munchers are the most disgraceful fanboys of all time. Never in life did I think people would be so delusional that they would hold a copper Disney Land trophy with no fans/pressure from the crowd over Kobe's 5 championships. I can't stand LeBron's male cheerleaders.
Makes me sad. He was the heart and soul of the lakers franchise. Lebron just switched teams and got a ring and now he's the face of the franchise? Like what the hell...
He’s gotta make sure that klutch check clears
NBA? The Lakers organization is to blame for this dumpster fire, they have been the worst organization in basketball for a long time. The only decent part of that organization is their ability to draft decent players late in the draft. Jeanie Buss is incompetent and hires people who are the same, they handed the keys to a aging superstar out of desperation and have no control at all anymore.
I'm glad that kobe is finally being honestly reviewed. I feel like just because of the accident, people kind of forgot that he was a ball hog who bricked alot.
“go hard on them dudes, salute 🫡”
Being an X and Os guy vs a Motivational guy doesn't matter if the results are the same. Kenny Atkinson fired from Brooklyn but suddenly works with the Cavs. Did he suddenly become a great coach? No they worked hard to get the right pieces and talent and then struck gold with Kenny. Nobody mentions Phil Jackson and his X and Os. The issue is a teams basketball culture and when you hired a guy with no experience who is friends with the aging star player and then you draft his son who isnt a NBA talent and tell everyone he earned it nobody believes you. You are effectively the Dallas Cowboys, great individual talent but piss poor culture and a coach nobody cares about except Lebron.
They literally mention the triangle offense with Phil Jackson
I agree. Cavs kept the exact same team and added coach Kenny and they are playing well. Lakers keep the same team added a new coach and it’s not working
bounce back game against miami ? my guy they lost by 40, don’t get lost in stats
You lost me when you said JJ’s a better coach than Ham

The expectations people have for Lebron teams is the problem. This is a mid-tier roster in a stacked conference. The only reason people believe the Lakers are serious contenders is because of Lebron's popularity and his constant media coverage.
That is not a significantly different roster lmao
All these intricate plays JJ got that’s equivalent to Newton Law still got the Lakers at the bottom in every category in offense. So what’s the real difference with JJ and Darvin Ham
Nothing. This man is trying to talk himself into thinking JJ is so great and then guess what he says in the end? He says the roster is trash😂…Where was this with Ham? Ham was so bad that the players knew how to win without a coach I guess last season. And now they’re worst with the next Pat Riley 😂
@ JJ Reddick got mind control over Deebo with these fools. LOW might see the light when the Lakers schedule gets tougher and they continue to blown out by good teams.
LOW doesn’t have a clue about coaching in the NBA. LOW relates with JJ analytical mind but there’s more to the game than that. Every reasonable person knows JJ sucks as a coach but the fools will be tricked by the fake genius JJ Reddick based on what he said on his podcast
@ I admit Darvin Ham had his flaws. I don’t think Ham had a clue about Xs and Os but Xs and Os are only useful in offense. Defensively, Lakers were way better with Ham.
Defense is something you can teach in practice and execute in the game. Defensive principles like boxing out, contesting shots and rotating isn’t needed for Xs and Os but just cause your not using Xs and Os doesn’t make you a bad coach.
I’m not even saying Darvin Ham was a good coach but Xs and Os being the end all be all for being a good coach is something I don’t buy into
@ you can teach Xs and Os with a Lebron led team always. 90 percent of that stuff goes out the window. Ham is so bad that lakers fans wanted his head and yet JJ the better coach, has the Lakers basically ranked dead last in every category. Especially the defensive side. That’s one thing an arrogant coach like JJ should be able to fix or maintain from the previous seasons.
Man, even kluch clients are having to admit it 😂😂😂. The next step is admitting the roster isn’t close to the problem and it hasn’t been for a while.
JJ was on the podcast talkin bout this very roster…..

@@odizza1688 okay buddy as if LB doesn't have 6 complete seasons played on MJ. It's even more crazy when you realize that LB is consistent. MJ's averages were still poor just like every other 40-year old nba player. It's already self-evident not a single NBA player in history comes close to Lebron's production given total seasons in the league
@@odizza1688 2/10 RAGE BAIT
@@odizza1688” his very own wizard Jordan arc “ …. Just means the washed version of himself relax
@odizza1688 Do you know how steroids work? They improve player performance at the the COST of health. If Lebron was on steroids he wouldn't have any type of longevity.
Is Lebrons’s team impact at 40 better or worse than Jordan at 40? Keep in mind Jordan had knee issues and had only been back in the league the year prior after taking a couple years off, which is as big as a handicap to his game than LeBron having to a lot of games on his body. Jordan’s second best player was Jerry Stackhouse, while LeBron has AD.
Capping for JJ is not the move. LeBalco using his staffing firm again or I mean Klutch sports to pluck another player from Nola. Only Klutch players want to play with him. The other prime and younger players have no desire to play with Lebron. Rob can’t negotiate with agents and players bc they are cool on Lebron. Lol once he leaves LA will become desire again.
It's wild to me that any of these so-called fans believed in the Lakers with this roster construction.
Old man LeBron eventually was going to slow down and this year he's doing so. AD is still fantastic, but he can't carry the team entirely by himself. Plus the other players that surround those two are not a strong enough roster to make up for their deficiencies. Especially in a stacked Western Conference.
I'm not sure there's any other Western Conference playoff team that has a weaker #3 player then the Lakers do. But they get that LA hype bump like all those delusional "THT and a pick" days 🤣
@jamesR1990 that's because Lakers fans are more delusional than cowboys fans and Lequeen needs to retire
do you know how much salary cap space lebron is getting?? we dont even put bronny into context.. thats the main reason lakers cant and wont win another ring.. if you give lebron what he's really WORTH.. then maybe you could acquire another superstar player and have a real chance of winning

I’m confused about what y’all expect? They basically have the same squad with a rookie coach, so duh they’re gonna perform the same way they did last year. 😂
When teams aren’t playing good 9/10 times the coach gets blamed, none of us are in the locker room, we don’t know wtf is really going on.
Hold up the Lakers got A Podcaster as an Head Coach with no Coaching Experience at all and he is EXPOSE getting slap around he should be fired by now The Lakers is a Clown show what happen to the Lakers Organization from 1991 to 2017 that was winning championship Miss the Phil Jackson years
The Lakers are the Dallas cowboys of the NBA 😂
Phil Jackson was THE MAN!!! they need a coach that level or similar to at least start to turn things around before it gets to last years pistons level of disappointment, and from the looks of it we're pretty damn close already!

I'm happy for Darvin Ham. He fits the assistant role better and he's thriving in Milwaukee without all the drama
Idk why ppl keep talking about them and being surprised the roster isn’t good and Lebron is 40 the best thing about this team is jj reddick and AD and that’s it oh and dalton knect when you gotta rely on a 40 year old to be the best player on some nights and the second best player most nights it means the team is Hot boo boo
Yo! Lebron put hamm in the position to be over looked. I’m not believing anything those players say about hamm you are wrong
Someone's king has an/off per 100 possessions of -16..
Lebum has the 7th worst finals plus minus ever: Minus 86. Michael Jordan career finals plus minus: Plus 45. Kobe Bryant's career finals plus minus: Plus 36.
MJ times shooting at least 80% or higher from the free throw line regular and post season combined: 26 times in 13 years. Lebum shot 80% or better from the free throw line ONCE in the regular season and postseason combined in 21 YEARS. 🤢🤢🤢😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣

I tried to warn JJ that the lakers job was a trap but he wouldn't listen.
"a bounceback game against miami" with -20 +/- despite efficient shooting. You acknowledge he's a statpadder, so don't claim the problem is everyone except LeDictator. Dont worry though, now that Brandon Ingram is with Klutch, he'll come back to the Lakers for pennies.
Yea but Darvin wasn’t losing to the Miami heat by 41 points.
Lakers defense got more holes than Brian Thompson
Too soon…. The bullets are still warm. RIP to them bullets.
the jj defenders are sad today, yall take the L he just a podcaster like you he don't know ball like that.
New here.. Keep it up bro!💪🏽.. Lakers just sucks right now and Bron rackin up TOs😤😭
it's funny, Lebron been committing TOs in clutch time 4th quarters for most of his career.
Only push back I’ll give is Jokic or Embiid isn’t asked to the things defensive that AD has to!
They can focus on dominating offensively then they’ll get their praises. If AD doesn’t be superhuman every game then he’ll catch strays from every direction.
Meaning I wish Rob Pelinka would bring in some help so AD can be fresher in the 4th like a Jokic.
Overall though great breakdown LOW 🔥
Didn’t Ham take the Lakers to the Western Conference finals??? 🤔 This is an L take LOW. There’s literally NO evidence that RedHick is better than anyone at coaching. What a LOW Light!
JJ is a better coach? This when I knew it wasn't a serious take.

"I'm a Laker fan". HA! No sir, no you are not. That's a Celtics jersey. Disgusting.
If JJ Reddick’s schemes & sets are so much better than Darvin Ham, how come the offensive numbers are worst this year compared to last year?
Lakers either need to bench LBJ or restrict his minutes to 25 at the most
No I think Darvin ham needs an apology people are being biased towards him. Plus jj is a fan favorite so no matter the record the lakers have people will make excuses for him and the same excuses they make for him they use to to bash ham roster has nothing to do with it ham took this team to the Confernce finals and the only reason they can’t get further in the playoffs is because the lakers can’t beat the nuggets that has nothing to do with ham. Jokic is the best player in the world and LeBron has been past his prime for 5 years. Leave Darvin ham alone.
STOP SUCKING OFF LEBRON. Like goddamn, say the real issues. Bron is hurting this team. The offense shouldn’t always go through him. His defense sucks. He has no leadership even though he’s the oldest one there and most accomplished. His body language sucks.

Father time has caught up with LBJ and its showing. JJ and the rest of the media are trying their best to make Lebron look good and its ugly. Charles was right about Lebron, he had the best players on his team and he still complaining about needing help, also, the sports media is saying Lebron needs help is ridiculous, he has the best players on his team and most of them are on the 75 greatest anniversary players in NBA history! 😂
AD is basically being asked to be 2018 LeBron on the Cavs and that’s a BIG ask
all i heard was excuses after excuses after excuses.. THE LAKERS won't win another ring under lebron as a starter, the major problem is him not darvin, not pelinka, him fake goat 23.. if it wasn't for that bubble season lebron should of been 0-7 as a laker. EIther trade/bench/or him retire is how the lakers will find peace actually jeanie has to sell the lakers she never told lebron no and let lebron built these awful teams. We real laker fans that hopped off the lakers when lebron became a laker knew lebron was maybe going to win a ring and from there spiral and crash.
OWNERS being one of the poorest in the league is also the problem with this team.. jeanie buss became a yes man because lebron has more wealth than her
As a Laker fan, thank you for this video.
Solid ass video dawg. The only thing I disagree with is the lakers roster being better on that conf finals run than now. I just think they’re severely under performing especially on defense. DLo def needs traded but I also think we need vandy healthy. Hopefully the bulls want dlo and max Christie for vucevic. That’d be ideal
A chip is a chip but the bubble championship is looking more and more questionable with each year that passes, pelinka and Jenie gave LeBron way too much pull in the teams big decisions, reddick is a much better coach than ham yes (a very low bar btw) but he still needs more experience, they wasted a draft pick on a player who was no where near nba ready to please him in an era where more and more nba ready players are being found in the second round, the countless trades that LeBron undoubtedly pushed for and to top it all off they nearly maxed a player pushing 40.
LeBron is an amazing player and will always be remembered as such but that does not translate into managerial experience(Jordan being a prime example), he is not going to be as knowledgeable as people who’ve been putting together teams and basketball schemes their whole life. The only way the lakers could truly recover is if they trade him or at the very least shut him out of front office decisions
Darvin Ham has shooters. I’m fucking crying😭
Honestly, as much blame as an Owner like Jerry Jones gets, Buss needs to take a lot of blame here. Her front office is TERRIBLE and it's been terrible for years. Like they say, you either coach it or you're letting it happen. LeBron's worst decision was to join the dumpster fire Lakers
If you want to save the Lakers you have to move on from LeBron.
I feel like every season since after the 2020 bubble it’s the same Deja vu thing with the lakers
Trade LeBron. Stop blaming Darvin Ham and hold LeBron accountable.
