It's actually insane when you actually think about LeBron's longevity... not just in the basketball sense, but in the ATHLETE and SPORTS ITSELF sense. This man is still putting up around the same numbers he did 18 years ago, has spent more time in the NBA than outside of it, and is nearing the year his OWN SON may get picked up in the draft. Literal insanity.
It's also fascinating that rule changes were made only favored him and in a sense, his longevity while other transcended players encountered rule changes to curtail some of them...
@@lamefart you’re right Lebron wouldn’t have benefitted from illegal defence so players couldn’t pack the paint because you know he’s not as efficient from inside the cylinder. He also wouldn’t have benefitted from hand checking as a 6’9 260 lbs man for his own individual defence. He definitely wouldn’t have benefitted from a shorter 3 pt line either, oh and it’s not like he hasn’t been playing for 20 years and thrived no matter what era you call it throughout that tenure…lol y’all sound dumber and dumber everyday
Shit I appreciate most about Jimmy is how the man disappears until he actually has some real, mind-bending, completely out of the radar story. Guy is a legend
There will be one day where there won't be any new video from Jimmy. He will get hired by some media agency or he will be writing scripts professionally. His talent for storytelling is unbelievable and captivating.
The fourth guy in the picture is Jeff Green. Actually he was part of that young promising core the Seattle Supersonics were assembling at the end of this century first decade.
That Kyrie - Bron pick reminded me just how far so many of these athletes have come. To be trained by someone, get to play them, and even win a chip with them is crazy. I truly believe this is exactly why they say Legends Never Die. When we talk about the greats all em guys have not only exceled in their positions but they also fed that knowledge to the ones coming after them. The way the game has transformed is a direct relation to that and has been nothing short of amazing and being alive to see so much history being made is a blessing. This the type of content that reminds you that it's more than just a sport. Good Shit Jxmy
The amount of research, Information, Editing and time is unbelievable and great logical ideas for NBA fans to watch these informational videos are impressive and are really a hook to many NBA stories yet to come, I really like the vids keep doing what your doing Jimmy
You should do more videos like this man! Maybe try some international players, there are lots of epic stories about Ginobili, Dirk, Gasol, etc Those guys set up the NBA to Luka and Giannis
Man, I subbed some time ago, and your depth covering these topics is simply unreal my friend. Hats off to the skill and talent, and keep up the good work man!!
Incredible job on that video! Put some respect on Jeff Green's name. He was right there with LeBron and Kobe. Mighty 💟 Travels 😵💫 Premium has allowed me to travel to places I never would have been able to go without it.
It's actually so refreshing to see these kind of basketball related videos not talking about the Lakers, the Knicks or GOAT debates. Jxmy really is the best researcher on basketball history
At beginning of the video when Jxmy is speaking about History, it sounds pretty good you could talk about a lot of topic apart from basketball with the way you speak, great video bro 💪🏾
Imagine PG Westbrook taking more shots than Curry+Durant combined in the 4th quarter of every big game and Durant leaving to join Harden+Klay in GSW to win a few titles
Not really lol. Harden showed more promise early and they ended up getting rid of him. They would just as easily have gotten rid of Steph. Not to mention Westbrook's production early on as well. It is a very good thing Steph landed where he did. GSW being confident in him let him stay confident through his injuries and become the player he is today.
Jimmy is the type of man to make you question and ponder things you never would have thought of before, such a great entertainer and has taught me so much
crazy how The Snake and Westbrick were younger (and in the NBA) than Curry in that pic, Curry was behind at that point in time but he Surpassed em both in the NBA.
You could easily make this into a series. There's that video with Blake Griffen dunking while a bunch of future NBA players lose their shit. There's that LeBron Jason Tatum pick! I'm sure there's a Barkley/Dirk pick. Pippen and Jordan with Tony kukoc before they became teammates.
ESPN and TNT need to hire you to do a segment every now and then, and pay top dollar. Because your stuff is absolutely on another tier of greatness, that frankly, they cannot attain.
This gotta be one of your best videos it’s not about something new or something too crazy it’s just a chill video with a graph chart in it which just feels good
9:28 Chang Tsung-Hsien "JET", played in NCAA Division II and Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) after high school. Still an active player in Taiwan (2022). 9:30 Lin Cheih-Min "JIMMY", skipped the college and started his basketball career in Taiwan after high school. Haven't played in any pro league since 2016.
That Lebon camp photo was pretty mind-blowing. It made me wonder, is the Lebron team that good at finding talent, or did the Lebron name have that much gravity in 2007.
Hi Jxmy, love your content, you’re a fantastic storyteller! I often watch these when I just need to relax or I’m having some food. I’d be interested to see a story like this on Slovenia and how a country of only 3 million people is becoming a world class basketball dynasty. Or any other case study on small countries like this who have grown and developed organically and the kind of people it takes to create this change.
100% need another video on this, what an insanely interesting topic to go over with endless possibilities. Especially to show new basketball fans some old stories and keep legacies alive. Beautifully done
10:10 Do you know crazy it is that Lebron is still playing at a higher level against players that attended his camp when they were only 16-17 years old
Most underrated and overlooked photo in this whole video is the one with Lebron and young Kyrie. 7 years later they pull of the greatest comeback in finals history. But at that moment, it was just Lebron as a great basketball player and Kyrie a kid trying to make it into the league. Crazy
Video Idea: We can all pretty much agree that these past few decades have had the most superstars of any ERA in NBA history… which NBA era or seasons had the LEAST amount of talent/superstars? Just something interesting to consider while we wait for the next NBA season.
I thought that there was going to be a photo of LeBron guarding Jordan 1 on 1 before we saw Yao Ming guarding Jordan. 17 year old LeBron vs Jordan would have been crazy to watch.
@@everythinggolden8019 ok fair enough, and the other dude tht commented is a troll he annoys people so he can start an argument. He really annoyin tho 😂
Can we talk about DeMar DeRozan for a second? We all praise Lebron's longevity but this man just had the best season of his career at age 32, while looking the same as he did when he was 17.
This brought a little thought: how about you create a video in which you elaborate what the Cavs' front office should have done during LeBron's first stint with them? We keep hearing that Cavs' front office was a mess and couldn't surround LeBron with enough help. I was just wondering, what kind of moves or trades that were ACTUALLY feasible at that time but the Cavs passed on? I think there's noone that has explained it just now.
You must’ve missed the infamous story about how they refused to get Amare Stoudemire due to preferring to save money. You really believe a team with Lebron James on it couldn’t do any better than attaining Mo Williams as it’s best player outside of Lebron? Lol There’s a clear blatant difference between the front office moves in Lebron’s first stint compared to his second one and there’s an obvious reason for that…
@@DJ-ys9pv yeah I couldn't recall much that happened in the NBA before 2010-ish period and I would assume that younger fans would probably experience more or less the same thing. Since Jimmy is a huge Bron Bron guy, I don't think he would oppose to this idea 🤨
Bruh. Every time I watch one of your videos. It makes me wanna go to the beginning of your channel and just binge watch every single video again. Idk how someone can make shit so interesting but you're doing it. Keep it up.
I gotta admit LeBron James and Cristiano Ronaldo being nearly just a month apart and the same age and what they provide in terms of athleticism and longevity at this level is absolutely insane. Big props to them for maintaining their bodies at such a high level for 20 years.
Jxmy has that voice that makes me Wana watch a Bigfoot documentary. 😂😂😂 Thanks for the vid! The stories behind the pics are even more amazing when you look back in time and compare..
You know who is GOAT - Its Jimmy. You thought you have seen it all and then boom Jimmy brings a masterpeice. Somebody hire this guy and give him a show. Imagine what he would do. More power to you Jimmy. You are the reason I fell in love with NBA. Love from India

I think he also disregarded Poole can’t remember
The trade for Perk really messed up both franchises.

Imagine if the Thunder drafted Curry instead of Harden that team would still be terrorizing the NBA
Imagine PG Westbrook taking more shots than Curry+Durant combined in the 4th quarter of every big game and Durant leaving to join Harden+Klay in GSW to win a few titles
Well they have SGA Chet and Giddey now so I’m still pretty damn scared of them in a couple years

Ha one of the greatest naw this hear video proves this man is the greatest I never seen some of this pic
The Steph pic is really great and that game also. He out achieved KD, Russ, and Blake Griffin in terms of finals experience.
