SAS been doing that since the trade. He's the only one talking like that. He said "Luka ain't playing second to nobody, so Lebeon is the second option". Like why say that. We know lebron is the second option. He was the second option this year with AD. It's like he always trying to jab at Lebron
@@-_Bee@-_Bee LeBron has been the second option for four years. He's been trying to hand the team over to AD for a while. On any given night, LeBron becomes the first option when needed.
@bellionjon It's not about who the team is for. It's about playing good together as a team. Lebron gave the team to AD, Lebron always said it's AD team. Lebron is 40. You think he gives cares who team it is. Dude has about 2 more years in the league. Dude don't care about that. I can see of you making that statement with a 23 year old Lebron. Dude is 40. That's like saying Kareem cared about who team it was or KD cares about who team the Suns are for. You think LD thinks Suns is his? No. He knows it's booker. These guys are old. Their on their way out. They are not caring who team it is at 40 🤡
@fantasysportsanalysistfsa8938 Yeah but Lebron been said it's AD team.Lebron is 40. You think he cares who team it is. That's like saying KD thinks the Suns is his. That's Booker team and he's cool with that. These guys are on their way out of the league. Lebron 40. I can see if he was 24. Dude doesn't care who team it is at 40
Why do we care what Steven thinks he’s wrong all the time. Lakers aren’t overachieving they’re playing free basketball. They don’t have to slow down and wait for AD to post up. They’re running up and down the court passing the ball freely getting open looks.
Five reasons why people hate Lebron The Goat: 1. He doesn't play for your favorite team. 2. He is better than your favorite player. 3. He humiliated your favorite team. 4. You have no knowledge in Basketball. 5. He has completed Basketball and he is the Greatest player of all time.
If yo claim to know ball u also know lakers always get special treatment, more fouls calls , no calls , ghost calls. I think it affects his legacy he should of stayed in Cleveland
I think what's crazy which some other comments have pointed out is you got different analysts who don't actually know the Lakers are the 5th seed, 10 games over 500 and a game out of 4th seed. There acting like there still a 9th or 10th seed crawling back into play in which has been what they've done past few seasons. This season they've looked amazing. JJ has done an amazing job coaching and turning basically the same roster as last season into a top 5 team rn in west. As for expectations this season yeah we will have to see. Luka will have potentially next decade to win championships in LA and I believe he will and getting Luka was clearly more about future but I'm telling you rn with how the Lakers are playing night in and out you now add top 3 player Luka to this team and let's say they get another center by deadline then I could legitimately see them having a shot at winning the west and then who knows what happens maybe they go all the way. Not gonna say its gonna happen but you can't rule that out with Bron and Luka on the team. Over past 2 weeks they've dominated Boston, NY, and LAC.
Facts. Only SAS trying to have it were if Lebron fails it's a stain on Lebron. He's 40. I never heard people say YOU HAVE 40 YEAR OKD JORDAN ON THE TEAM, YOU HAVE A CHANCE 😂😂😂
Bruh everyone think lebron and lakers won’t co exist, bro lebron been waiting for a guy like luka to get the ball from his hands .. although they do need a centre
The way to beat the nuggets is let jokic go off for 40+ but no one else is getting more than 10 point when they have no centre just let jokic eat and tire himself out and get it in transition jokic can’t run up and down the court all game
That’s what I been saying just play man defense don’t let Jokic get more than 8 assists against us that’s how we beat them especially since our offense is lit now we’re not blowing too many leads anymore.
Everyone was saying after Lebron retires ESPN isn't gonna have anything to talk about but now unfortunately they're gonna be on Luka's back 24/7 for the next 15 years thanks Nico.
Don't see how it's going to be,LUKA, will retire ,BEFORE 32,he's not in shape for a long career,,LEBRON JAMES can play for 3 years,he also could come off the bench,and play longer?
Playing a different team every night and playing the same team in a series is different. SAS knows that!!! He thinks just because he’s demonstrative and uses a multisyllabic word that makes him right!!! Kick rocks!!! I think me and Windy are tired of him!!😂😂😂 8:10
"there are SOME NIGHTS Lebrons defense is really bad" GTFOH Brian "i suck-off Lebron all-the-time" Windhorst > this dude hasnt played GOOD defense in 10 seasons. say it wit yo chest man, quit sugar-coating the fact Lebron sucks on defense and hasnt wanted to put in ANY EFFORT on defense in a LONG LONG TIME SMH
That’s exactly why LeBron is the GOAT. The national media just can’t help themselves. The man is 40 years old, and instead of winding down his career, he’s still expected to carry a franchise. The Lakers just traded AD, a guy LeBron has incredible chemistry with for Luka, a superstar he’s never even played alongside literally mid season lol. And yet, there’s zero grace for LeBron this season. Tell me this, has any other 40-year-old in NBA history faced this level of expectations, pressure, and media scrutiny? Not even close. At this stage, LeBron should be coasting, enjoying the twilight years of his career. But no, the media keeps piling on, demanding more from him like he’s still in his prime lol. They only do that for one thing and they know LeBron this GOAT. 💯🐐👑
Where’s this energy with Steph with the warriors and Kevin Durant with the suns? Lol if the lakers and LeBron were struggling they would all bash them right now smh
Two things can be true. Yes Lakers don’t have anyone to guard Jokic, AD, etc.- but who TF has what it takes to contain LeBron AND Luka at the same time?! LeBron alone just made the Clippers and Knicks (two of the leagues best ranked defenses) look like average teams
Double standard holding 40 year old Bron to that standard cuz when Jordan looked great before losing to Magic in 95 excuse was oh he was rusty from taking time off and coming back late in the season
The Lakers hate is literally out of control. It’s like these people don’t even watch the games. The way that team played last night on defense you have to think if they can add one more big and with Luka added to the mix you have to at least consider them a dark horse title contender. They’re acting like the Lakers are just a mediocre team with no chance it’s insane
You guys don’t know BASKETBALL That’s why you think they are OVERACHIEVING!! The team had solid 3point shooting and 3 great wing defenders!!!! Yall are fools!!
Luka's either going to link up with Jokic when he becomes a FA or he's going to Miami, Laker fans are going to be in shambles when he doesn't resign with them.
Luka didn't permantently lose over $115M/ He can extend his contract for 3 years and then sign an over $400M contract. Ask Bobby Marks. Luka could sign a three-year deal this summer to earn ten years of service heading into the 2028-29 season, where a supermax contract would start at $72 million a season. Plus all the talk of taxes in California vs Texas is nonsense. Do you realize what massive endorsements he can earn now because he's a Laker?. A global brand. LeBron makes over $80M a year extra from endorsements.
Stephen A and the rest of the sports media talking heads just love to hear themselves talk in circles. One minute it's the Lakers are going to fall apart with no defense or center to anchor the team, the next minute they're talking about LBJ and Luka not being able to function on the court together, without a single game being played.. These guys are professional basketball players who have the same goal, win games and win Championships.. The fact of the matter is The Lakers needed a legit superstar to carry the team into the foreseeable future while considering JJ Reddick's coaching style, they got that done without leveraging the future of the franchise.. Nuff said.
thats how bad this old heads don't do their homework for them not to know the standings, and still push a narrative of this trade not being good for Lakers is crazy , i love when people prove others wrong
“Denver got killed last year.” They were up 3-2 with Game 7 at him and up 20 in the 3rd quarter. They ran out of gas and Wolves took it from them. They weren’t even remotely “killed” 😆
People don't seem to realize you know there's no guarantee that Luka signs an extension with the Lakers... he's got one year left on his contract and then he could possibly become a free agent, this could literally blow up in the Lakers face, because if you think other teams are not going to come after him and offer him the money that Dallas was not willing to give him you're crazy
Stephen A makes an excellent point that Luka fan boys are conveniently overlooking. Yes. Luka is a great young player. But, Dallas was looking at betting their entire franchise on him. Nearly a half billion dollar investment. In that light their concerns about his lack of self-discipline and resulting proneness to injury are very legitimate. Trading for AD made a lot of sense for the Mavs. AD is the missing piece to give them an unbeatable starting lineup. They still have two elite guards Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson. Now they added an elite PF who brings the defensive presence they were missing. It could be argued that the Lakers got the short end of this deal. They are betting on Luka improving his self-discipline and not falling off. He could quite easily become another Kawhi Leonard is he doesn't get his act together.
Lakers just beat Celtics, knicks, clippers top teams with or without AD they always go with the Narrative of you need a big man. The warriors won 3 with a 6’8 forward
These dudes didn't even know until today that Lakers were 5th in the standings and Dallas is 11th. They'll say anything to save face, bunch of clowns.
Seriously, Perk was the only one calling it.
Rankings without context is ridicilous. Luka has missed well over 20 games this season along with many other Mavericks being out for many games.

One minute it's the Lakers are going to fall apart with no defense or center to anchor the team, the next minute they're talking about LBJ and Luka not being able to function on the court together, without a single game being played.. These guys are professional basketball players who have the same goal, win games and win Championships.. The fact of the matter is The Lakers needed a legit superstar to carry the team into the foreseeable future while considering JJ Reddick's coaching style, they got that done without leveraging the future of the franchise.. Nuff said.
Laker Doncić is about to explode
They are really good at not answering the question asked.
Jackson Hayes just made Zubac look out of rotation 😂😂😂
thats how bad this old heads don't do their homework for them not to know the standings, and still push a narrative of this trade not being good for Lakers is crazy , i love when people prove others wrong
The funny part is that Luka might now go anywhere...Miami, Knicks, to Wembi...anywhere
That Stephen Adams trade idea would be ideal.
“Denver got killed last year.”
They were up 3-2 with Game 7 at him and up 20 in the 3rd quarter. They ran out of gas and Wolves took it from them. They weren’t even remotely “killed”
😆
Ngl ALL the four top teams I can see them being in the semis facing each other 😭
That don’t make sense. This man still giving people numbers like top 3 players in NBA and you worry about his shape and conditioning
This was a BS segment . There was nothing to talk about .
Kobe>LeBron >Luka>Bronny
Why Doggy look like he 5yrs away from being Doc from Back to the Future. 😭
People don't seem to realize you know there's no guarantee that Luka signs an extension with the Lakers... he's got one year left on his contract and then he could possibly become a free agent, this could literally blow up in the Lakers face, because if you think other teams are not going to come after him and offer him the money that Dallas was not willing to give him you're crazy
This is almost like if Wizards Jordan would have gotten Kobe!! I said ALMOST btw
Quit disrespecting the goat.
Wizards jordan is not current lebron but I get your point,Kobe was very similar to Jordan just like how luka is similar to lebron
No sir.
Am I the only that thinks Windy feeling himself too much?
Overachieving? No. JJ just has this team playing great.
How many times are they going to mention LeBron is 40.
Stephen A makes an excellent point that Luka fan boys are conveniently overlooking. Yes. Luka is a great young player. But, Dallas was looking at betting their entire franchise on him. Nearly a half billion dollar investment. In that light their concerns about his lack of self-discipline and resulting proneness to injury are very legitimate.
Trading for AD made a lot of sense for the Mavs. AD is the missing piece to give them an unbeatable starting lineup. They still have two elite guards Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson. Now they added an elite PF who brings the defensive presence they were missing.
It could be argued that the Lakers got the short end of this deal. They are betting on Luka improving his self-discipline and not falling off. He could quite easily become another Kawhi Leonard is he doesn't get his act together.
Stephen A talks like he is the only genius on TV.. yelling whiles talking doesn’t mean you are making sense
The coverage of the NBA is in the gutters. These talking heads prove every day they don’t watch the games
ESPN is milking this ❤❤❤
It’ll be cool seeing LeBron as the sidekick again.
Lakers just beat Celtics, knicks, clippers top teams with or without AD they always go with the Narrative of you need a big man. The warriors won 3 with a 6’8 forward
