The average LeBron fan or casual fan that watches a game every 3 weeks will call this “hating” but us basketball fans of the game calls this valid criticism. LeBron and the paid off media needs to be held accountable.
I watch all the games and I'm going to call this hating The supporting cast doesn't hold their own specialty compared to other top teams What are people watching People have their hate glasses on They want LeBron to score 50 every game But if the team had talent The 30 points he's getting should be enough
It was some basketball channel exposing that myth all the way back in 2018 showing how LeBron led teams have no ball movement, or how LeBron has never led a team to have the most Assist per team or Passes by a Team. But actual pass first player's like Magic and Bird did it multiple times.
No, they deny everything and make excuses even if you give them evidence. They are just as reprehensible as LeFraud. Also they say something stupid like "Jordan did it too" with no real proof.
Facts. Lebron fans are exactly like orange man fans who wear red hats. Believe all the BS their king and their king’s media says and ignore facts and do zero research.
ESPN made a post about Anthony Edwards becoming only the second player aged 22 or younger to drop consecutive 40-point games in the playoffs. And like clockwork, the LeBron beehive were in the comments making excuses that LeBron couldn't do it because he never had enough help in Cleveland. I kid you not. They have no shame just like their beloved _king._
Tbh the Lakers team actually have more talents on paper, but Lebron is historically proven to make his team worse and couldn't figure out how to maximize different talents on his team despite being considered an "high IQ basketball player"
How don't you have enough help with AD, Adam Silver, The Referees, and all the talent the team has. Those players showed several times this season that none of em were the problem. They beat great teams without LeBron, and they beat great teams without ad and LeBron. Playing 4 on 5 defense is why they suck.
That's true. Unfortunately, the Lakers don't have the balls to move on from LeBron. They won't just trade him. If the public found out the Lakers were taking trade offers for LeBron before he had a chance to make it known he was okay with being traded. Like "Thanks for giving us permission Lebron!" almost as if the Lakers are scared of getting in trouble. It's like a kid afraid of getting caught lying to their parents or an employee who's nervous for keeping something from their boss. Last I checked the gm/owner/head of operations was the boss. But here we are. The Lakers are at Lebron's mercy, unable(unwilling) to make a move without his permission and letting the media know he's demanding to be traded/released so it all looks like his doing. To remind everyone that he, Lebron James, is in control. And what's sad is that even though I wrote this half joking, it really is true. When you give a spoiled bratty kid everything they cry for and fail to tell them no while standing firm, eventually all control is lost and the kid runs the house. Swap out spoiled bratty "kid" for spoiled bratty "NBA basketball player" and that's why Lebron James tells the once proud Los Angeles Lakers what to do and it really is pathetic.
LeBum needs to force Lakers management to dump all the "minimum players" in exchange for MAXIMUM players and spend a BILLION dollars plus luxury tax next year to help lift his sorry behind... need a full all star cast at 1st 2nd and 3rd string...
@@albundy5492 I can't see LeBron taking a pay cut. His ego won't allow it, even if it results in winning. He has to be the #1 option and the highest paid.
At what point do the leflop fans actually open their eyes? What does it take at this point? If the lack of any sort of real offense doesn't do it, and the flopping doesn't do it, and the disrespectful effort on defense doesn't do it, does the acting like he was going to hit a woman then laughing about it finally do it?
Nothing will. They’ll only say he’s the greatest player of all time because he’s the all time leader in points, as if that means anything. I can’t stress this enough……. Who tf shoots a wide open three WITH 17 SECONDS LEFT IN THE GAME?!?!?!?! You’ve got time to drive the ball inside, maybe draw a foul or pass it to an open teammate who can shoot because we all know he sucks ass in clutch moments….. but instead you wanna act like you’re MJ and…… brick. It’s just insane. Sorry for the long paragraph man.
@@MeechieThaGamingGod remember it was actually that he bricked that wide open 3 with all that time after he got away with an offensive foul and a travel. That is greatness, imagine fucking all that up and then no one talking about it? He has manged to either pay off or fool all these people. I've said it before, leflop fans have to rattle of stats, change history and bash other players to make a case for the best and jordan fans just need to play film
@@kielmaguire5121 they always bring up his one move or his “passing” as if he didn’t pass their way out of a win against the nuggets the final game. He just threw his hands up at the refs as usual, looking for a nonexistent call. What kills me is that all his teammates get the blame and not him. Kobe or mike, when they lost, put the blame on themselves because that what leaders do. Lequeen doesn’t do that at all. Fuck the 40k points at the end of the day and the rings. He’s an overrated basketball player whose team hopped his entire career to get those rings he acts like he got by himself. He even threw his ex teammates from the heat under the bus like he was better than them, which he wasn’t. fuckin crazy man smh
Their standards are so low, they aren’t even registering the lack of offense, defense and flopping. They think him standing at the top of the key for 18 seconds in a half triple-threat stance and then shooting and scoring a 3 is peak offense.
MJ makes his team mates better. Whole Laker team make lefraud "look" better by giving him all the ooprtunities to score, rebound and assist, sacrificing their own stat. All for the glory of the queen!
Guys like MJ and Kobe demanded a lot from their teammates but they also put in more work than anyone else. That’s why they were able to demand so much. -Nobody respects a person who makes others do things they wont. One of those, “do as I say, not as I do..” types.
Oh stop. For the first half of his career he was a ball hog. He never improved his team or theyd have gotten further into the post season. He didnt kick on til pippen and rodman were added. The celtics used to let him do his thing. They knew he wasnt gonna pass. They played 5 on 4. Winning is the point. Not stats. Stop buying into ALL the bullshit that surrounds him. He doesnt get nike flogging him like they did from 85 onwards the mystique wouldnt have built up. He used to bitch at the refs like lechoke, not as bad but still. He was also the recipient of lots of ghost fouls. Go back and watch some actual games instead of high lights packages. He carried A LOT.
@sugarnads You make excellent points. Yes, Lebron wasn't the first to be proclaimed the next best thing before accomplishing anything. Jordan was a gun his first 6 years. He carried and got ghost fouls, but the entire league has always adapted to the officiating and the stars have always gotten their fair share of ghost fouls. But Rodman didn't arrive til 95 and Pippen was a Bull for 4 years before they won, and anyway, it is a team sport, you need other players, and they were a crappy team when Jordan arrived. I think you'll agree that much of the roots of the Lebron phenomenon began with Jordan, but he didn't create it, push it, or believe his own bs. And he did earn his stripes. I don't think you can equate Jordan with Lebron, it's night and day. And just so we're clear. I'm not a Jordan fanboy. I'm a lifelong Celtics fan who is so old that I once criticized Red Auerbach for drafting Larry Bird. Glad I was wrong.
@@Dollauptno it was largely MJ. When he played point for a long stretch before Phil ever got there, he was averaging 10 assists per night and a triple double. It was MJ.
The eye test alone made me say, the roster plays better without LeBron all year long. It was kinda obvious on how good they played. It was great TEAM basketball whenever LeBron sat out. It was enjoyable. It was refreshing.
That’s because LeBron is literally “dead weight” on both ends of the floor. He brings the offense to a screeching halt as he chases stats, and on those rare occasions when he actually drags his old ass down to the defensive end, he looks lost and confused as players go right by him for easy scores. When LeBron sits out, the Lakers get to play team basketball and actual “5 on 5” defense. They don’t have to constantly cover for a washed up narcissistic stat-chasing diva when LeBron is off the court.
@@labynoe One of the biggest things is they just bring up the ball way faster without LeBron. He takes the full 8 seconds to get across the half court and then dribbles at the top a bit. They are basically playing with a 14 second shot clock when LeBron is bringing it up, whereas they usually are playing with a good 19 seconds when LeBron is out. I really think they could be great if LeBron played 20-25 minutes of intense basketball a night. He has the capability of being a good defender, but not the stamina, and offensively he's best getting downhill to the basket, which is most frequently available by pushing the pace in transition.
Been saying lebron makes any team he’s on worse forever. The nuggets have no depth this year. If lebron sat out the nuggets series it would be the lakers vs the wolves right now
LeBum's teammates seems to be disgusted when they are playing with him and he makes them worse and yet another former all-star became his recent victim in D-Lo.
They won the in season tournament with Darvin Ham and that lineup and they were so proud of that championship ring. So what is Lechoke complaining about?
And the Lakers Admin thought it was a good idea to hang that .0000005 Champ banner as if it were a legitimate banner lol. Lebum may as well call that a Ring, seeing as the 2020 bubble is claimed
Also the Lakers had the lead 75% of the time while playing the Nuggets. So does he get credit for that? How come his players were not clutch when it really mattered? It’s not DH’s fault for LeBron’s lack of defense. Every point Lebron scores got erased on the other end.
IMO, LBJ just put the GOAT debate to bed when he said at his last post game interview that “it’s just basketball”…. Yes, to us fans it’s basketball at the end of the day, but to any pro players, basketball should be their life… what I’m trying to say is in order to be the best at something, you have to treat it like it’s your life.
Only Bron would disrespect the sport he supposedly loves, is a student of, and has made an obscene amount wealth from just because he’s losing. I could never see MJ or Kobe trash basketball like that just to avoid criticism
Content like this is GOLD. Excellent video and analysis as always! I wish the NBA would force LeBrick to swap rosters with Curry. Curry could take that roster to the finals.
The narrative SHOULD be how LBJ makes his teammates WORSE. The Lakers should've cut James and kept Hamm. Now they will be stuck with an older Bron, older Davis, and forced to draft Brony despite him not even starting at USC. I wonder how many free throws the NBA will grant the Lakers next year in order to drag them to the 10 spot...
It’s not like Ham was better because even Anthony Davis said “There are some possessions wherever we don’t know what we are doing” and playing Prince 30+ minutes was killing them and he looked absolutely clueless and lost so while I agree that they should rid LeBron and AD and rebuild it doesn’t excuse trying to defend Ham even though he was dogshit as a coach
If they can't win on the court they want to win at the cash register. Remember Bronsexuls will watch him no matter how much he loses because they care only for him not the Lakers success. They won the in season tournament and immediately went on a losing streak and you know what they hung their hats on? Look at how well he's playing! Like he's playing tennis or golf! MFS it's a team sport!!! If you ain't hanging banners in LA you ain't doing SH*T!!!! ⚡
Anybody else notice the Lakers franchise has fallen way off? 7 head coaches since 2011 & just 4 winning seasons since 2013. Last thing they dominated was Disney World.
I was shocked when I watched a recent Pacers' game and saw how fast both teams played. Only then I realized how ridiculously slow the Lakers play under LeBron's dictatorship.
The problem is ball movement, he’s a ball stopper and he’s selfish, he dnt want AD to shine they need to play through him and Bron old ass need to learn how to play without the ball.
That'll never happen. Even if lebron wanted to do that, it's virtually impossible to change how you play at his age. It's not he plays how he does by choice, it's all he knows how to do.
Apparently commenting helps with the algorithm… your videos are so good I kind of want LeBron to keep playing, an extended career just out of spite to mess with AOH!
If you were managing a team, I think there is a critical equation when it comes to building a team around a single all star - you need to look at points, rebounds, blocks, assists and turnovers per minute played multiplied by expected minutes played per game to decide if there’s value in the strategy. I think where LeBron screws up the equation is with so much attention they’re looking at ticket sales and press coverage deals instead of winning basketball.
The following players have played better before or after their stent with LeBlame's Lakers. Schroeder: 17ppg 44%fg 36%3p vs 14ppg 42%fg 33%3p (laker) KCP: 46%fg 41%3p vs 43%fg 36%3p (laker) Kuzma: 20ppg 7rpg 4apg vs 15ppg 5rpg 2apg (laker) DO we even need to bring up D'Angelo, Wade, Bosh, or Love? Just subtract 20% off their efficiency and scoring and add 100% certainty they get Leblamed for losing LOL PIPPEN had his career high in FG% w/ MJ of 52%, 51%, and 49% w/ MJ (90-92) versus 48%avg (w/o MJ 93-94 in absolute PEAK)
The fanboys seem to think he's Larry Bird when he's just the opposite. The only time the ball gets spread and the whole team gets touches and buckets is when he's not playing. He's not enough of a threat scoring from range to draw defense and when he drives no one bothers bc you're not allowed to touch the guy. Larry would draw the double or triple and find the open man and when he got fouled he was a lock at the line. One of these things is nothing like the other
Thanks for making this video. Lebron is a great player, but his style of play requires a specific roster set up. When the team doesn't have that... somehow they end up getting thrown under the bus. That been evident on every team he's been on. Unfortunately that includes coaches. Darvin being the latest victim.
I always find the number of points a player gets argument interesting for any game, because the results of the game may or may not be different depending on it. If Player X scored 30 points but the team lost by 10, it wouldn't have made any difference if Player X had scored 20, and Player Y scored 10 or even 15, Player X scored 5 and Player Y scored 20, or Player Y,X, and W each scored 12. Getting more of other people scoring only matters if they score enough to win. At the end of the day if one person scores all of the points and the team wins, that's all that matters. So I find it weird when people argue that other players aren't getting to score or one person is scoring too much. It may or may not make a difference. Somebody else may have a hot hand and getting them the ball would be important, but if you're not playing the total game and keeping your opponents score in check, it doesn't matter how well somebody is shooting.
let's not go that far yet, but he has definitely been impressive and I am looking forward to seeing what he does in his career. New face of the league for sure, or definitely the new American face of the league
@yeelahowah7476 People want heroes so badly that they'll reach beyond all human logic and reason to insist on having one. There's a reason Hollywood cranks out film after film about Marvel characters to placate these adult children comic book readers...
@@garyaugustus690 Yeah, I think whats changed in the last 5 or so years in the NBA is the need to disrespect the past and put every event into some historical context. I don't get that vibe in other sports, the NBA is like CNN now.
You know I always find it fascinating… over this past offseason when the Lakers “retooled” instead of “rebuilding” by trading for Kyrie, the media AND his fans PRAISED the Lakers and talked about “how much better they were” than last year.. talked about the IMMENSE depth and quality players.. but as soon as they start losing it’s “the support isn’t there” and “his team sucks; we need to trade ALL of them for (superstar(s))” narratives start.. it’s BULLSHIT! I believe one B/R (lechoke puppets) article said this is the “best team” he’s had in 5 or 6 yrs? Yet when the team loses, it’s that supporting cast to blame? How is LeCollapse’s play not on film EVERY day? His standing around on offense? His not getting back on D? His absolute TRASH transition D? His close outs? His “help” D? His abysmal shooting outside of 5’ or when guarded in the post by Jose Alvarado? That’s been his problem since 2003!!! No coach EVER held him accountable.. when the Heat lost in 2011, it was Wade that took accountability saying he needed to let LeFake be the number 1 option… even though Wade was the best player on the team THAT year… every one knows James is an all time great player.. there’s ZERO debate there.. among Bird, Magic, Kareem, Wilt, Oscar, etc… but being lazy and complacent once you won a couple is what has gotten us to this point and why he can NEVER be the GOAT… it’s Jordan then Kobe… Period… Timmy is there too… weird how Nick Wrights stupid ass and Reddick dumb ass say “20+ ppg for 20 yrs makes him greater”, yet Timmy was winning titles his 2nd to last year? With the same damn team he was winning with for the other 16 years?! His fans need to quit assuming we all think LeBron has “sucked” his whole career… no one is saying that.. what we ARE saying is over the last 6-9 yrs, his play has degraded sharply… avg 25 is easy in this NBA… especially if you’re a number 2 option, all time great, and have the keys to the franchise and take 20 shots a game… of course the refs and the nba are doing their part to keep that ppg up too… lol.. it’s trash and why the ratings have dropped precipitously… I’ll bet these playoff ratings go up quite a bit now that Durant, kawhi and PG AND lebum are out of them… no one will have to hear the weak narratives or the bullshit script anymore.. it’s now “just basketball”… I’m convinced that if one team decided to play basketball the way they did in the 90’s (full speed 100% of the game) they would DOMINATE this current NBA… watch the way these current players “hustle”… like AOHF has said before, their cardio now is garbage… they would puke by the end of the 1st if they played at the speed and intensity of the 90’s… lol…
You just got a sub. This is phenomenal research and data….. I wish I had time because this is what I would do. Im an auditor and this is true analysis.
I love watching your videos, but please boost your microphone volume. There is a huge disparity between your microphone volume and the rest of the volumes. For example, I have to turn the volume up so high to hear you, that when commercials come on, the volume is extremely high. Thanks.
LA local and watched every game this season. If Bro. Was in a good mood he gave effort, if not it turns into the blame game with no effort given, to me that is an example of a toxic teammate. I want him out of this town
Dlo takes 7 shots and misses them, Lakers fans chew him a new one. Like I try to explain to them taking only 7 shots isn't enough to get a shooter going. I watch Kobe go 8-23, and I just watch Spider go 9-23, 11-27, you need the ball or shots to be much more effective..you can't get that with Lebron and when Ham was coaching period..especially if you're not an alpha male
I like that you opened with a not so obvious choice such as Taurean Prince. Just proves how deep the Lakers are when someone that got such little respect on that team is also excellent
@AOH Great research. Thanks for proving this point. Sadly, if I shared it with the Lebron group on social media debates, the Lebron fans would NOT watch because they have very SHORT attention spans. * Yes, they need to STOP lying to themselves.
That is one nice side effect of LeChoke's whining. That the in-season tournament is a joke. He doesn't value it. He convinced the Lakers to fire their coach despite having won it. 🤔 I'd bet that since he doesn't care about it anymore there won't be in-season tournment next season. The excuse will be it was an experiment or it wasn't drawing the expected viewership.
The difference between Nuggets and the Lakers is not about the roster it is about playing together and playing defence and they have Jokic of course who makes everybody play better and Murray that makes big buckets! LBJ does not let his teammates play better but worse because he does not play defence and everybody has to play for him. When LBJ is not playing the Lakers play definitely more as a team. My advice to the Lakers, get rid of LBJ! His time is passed.
LBJ has super shooters like 1.Ray Allen - Miami Heat 2. Kyle Korver - Cleveland Cavaliers 3. J.R. Smith - Cleveland Cavaliers 4. Danny Green - Los Angeles Lakers 5. Mike Miller - Miami Heat. but Lebrick has never give them credits. Actually, they're all masks for LeBrick's ineptitude.
The whole narrative that Lebron makes everyone around him better is probably the #1 lie told by the media ad nauseum. How many times do we hear that? And yet almost every role player he has ever played with performs much worse playing along side Lebron vs other teams.
LeBron been doing this for awhile, but just becoming more clear on the lakers is the fact he is a chemistry and locker room destroyer. All stars become shells of themselves and everybody always seems pissed off and selfish. He also as the leader consistently throws teammates under the bus, argues and blames refs for everything, disrespects the coach and won’t listen (then fires them for “losing the locker room”) and makes everything about himself. No one wants to play with that and it sucks all the life and chemistry from a team. In this landscape, energy and chemistry is genuinely 50% of a great team. When you’re happy to play together and work as a unit and run actual sets, role players get looks for them, stars get open looks and everybody is 1 unit. NBA has gotten so focused on stars and talent but it does not matter. LeBron needs to be on the same level as historic locker room destroyers like KD, Harden, old Irving
This is becoming one of the more embarrassing situations in NBA history. The man has gone through 10 coaches! You’re disqualified from being anywhere near the greats on that alone!
The only superstar who does less with more! Side Note: I'm still upset LeFraud's missed shot counter (all-time) is STILL not moving. He should be significantly ahead of Kobe by now.
But I thought it was "Load Management". That's what Magic said anyway... Until he got dumped on by all of Twitter for saying that, then he changed his tune to "injuries". The entire organization knows there's a problem, knows what the problem is, but won't do anything to address the problem because that's just gonna make King James through another tantrum. So they'll fire a coach or two, trade a few players, change the name of the team to the Los Angeles LeBrons and whatever else they can think of to appease him... and if they're lucky they'll end up with another decent team that still has an anchor named LeBron James chained to it's ankles.
All that means is that 1 the Lakes aren't solving anything and will continue to be kekked each year in the playoofs... and 2 the players that the Lakers discard will be blessings to other teams and pass the Lakes by in the standings.. Great video...
Michael Jordan: “Maybe it’s my fault. Maybe I led you to believe it was easy, When it wasn’t. Maybe I made you think my highlights started at the free throw line, And not in the gym. Maybe I made you think that every shot I took was a game winner. That my game was built on flash, and not fire. Maybe it’s my fault that you didn’t see that failure gave me strength, That my pain was my motivation. Maybe I led you to believe that basketball was a God given gift, And not something I worked for, Every single day of my life. Maybe I destroyed the game. Or maybe, You just making excuses.”
Love your videos. Not sure if you have done this. Can you do a LB video with him not playing? I would like to see how the team does overall. Like how u broke down the player do without him in the lineup.
Keep it going AOH. Love the break downs..Can LA waive James.? I would consider letting him go without giving him anymore money. Barely played in main attraction games, ducked other big players and teams, no major awards, swept 1st round. Time to cut losses and start gaining some assets back, not give them up.
i think everybody is missing the point. the big problem is Lakers and everybody expecting Levbron to lead a championship team in his late 30s, All the respected super stars of the game were a shell of them selves at 39, He has done his time , move on from him and start rebuilding a team , build a better culture at the Lakers because currently there is no strong front office. if not then go get a coach that has won multiple championships to challenge Lebrons thinking otherwise same result, we can see what happened between Kyrie, Kevin Durant and steve nash. My own opinion
Most all of this is the media's fault. Either directly or indirectly. Indirectly, they refused to criticize him at any point in his career. The closest is after 2011, or the occasional criticism of below average free throw percentage. Anyone else would have been questioned for the two-week in-season trip to Miami, which magically improved his game in 2015-16. Anyone else would have been called out for the flopping and exaggerating of contact. Plus, there was very few who pushed the "he can't win in the playoffs when it matters" that the media pushed onto Jordan in the late 80's (talk about no talent on a team), or even Hakeem, Kobe (without Shaq, and surrounded by absolutely no talent until Pau), Dr. J, etc.. Directly, the constant sucking up is insane. The continuous praise for him while not questioning the criticism of teammates. I even heard Bill Simmons say on a podcast how "smart" LeBron was for finding ways to rest while on the floor. Yeah Bill, that's normally called defense.
😂😂😂 BIll Simmoms has been deep throating Bron for several years. Bill Simmons is a FRAUD and I dislike the guy with a passion. He's a Boston HOMER who HATES Kobe and as a result of his anti-Kobe animus, he's made it his life's mission to elevate Lebron to a stratosphere he has NO BUSINESS being in. Simmons is a clown. I refuse to read anything on the Ringer or his crappy UA-cam channel. ANY time LBJ wins: its ALL lebron. ANY time LBJ loses: its ALL his teammates fault. Simmoms HATED, HATED Kobe and everything good he says about LeBalco is his way of sticking it to Kobe. Simmons is a fraud and I just wish people would STOP LEGITIMIZING his opinions when he's VERY uninformed about basketball. He simultaneously talks about Bird being the GOAT while IGNORING the fact he lost FMVP to Maxwell. And in the same breath he'll diminish Kobe's accomplishment because he lost FMVP to prime SHAQ. Smh. Which one is it William Simmons? He's a low I*Q* fraud.
Nuggets look horrible, so sloppy, all NBA is high slow lob passes, 4 guys out on the 3 point line, traveling every dribble, you can see how the refs allowing certain teams, certain players rap the nuggets, etc...you can see how horrible the flow and shooting is, Nuggets just take it from the refs and Lakers first 3 quarters, then try more at the end, and everyone shutting the fuck up for the pay check...the game is dead, its dark empty stadiums, its cheap or free wnba like seats, and the crowd doesnt even care as they cant figure out all the calls and no calls..everyone is on Xanax....dead'n down, on cell phone, look at the light show, cool hip stadium, whos wearing what, nothing is about basketball, zero... you could go watch a pile of ants outside and get a better game
With that roster and with Darvin Ham as coach Lakers had wins against top teams. But when Lakers with LeBron lost in 1st round, suddenly it's coach's fault, and not enough contribution from the bench. Partially it is fault of Darvin Ham, because coach did not benched LeBron in time and allowed him to choke, like LeBlame usually does in the 4th.
just as an FYI, Peyton Watson is in the top 25 in regards to blocked shots and he only averaged 18 mins off the bench for the Nuggets. Is he an elite defender? Maybe not, but is he bad? Absolutely not.
At this rate, other teams are licking their chops when they matched up in the playoffs against him. Having 20 years of stats says that he gonna hand them a win in the playoffs. Especially the finals!
I watched half a game this season just to see him play and he was sitting out i think it was against the suns. He was sitting most left chair so noone on his left, and the right was also empty. Only AD got to sit there occasionally when he was resting. No communication with anyone, visibly unhappy they were winning without him. He is very aware they are better without him, and have more freedom, but he wants to be in and winning, in the same time he has to be the best player, noone can be bigger than him, not even AD. Certain teams and players gotta get ducked to avoid embarrassement. But more importantly what he wants is whenever he has to pass the ball, someone to score on will, immediately, however not to ouscore him. Same on the defensive, they have to be ready for everything as a unit of four, without him. If not, starts waving the hands, demoralizing them. He has to look the best statistically, he has to be playing, they have to be winning, but they cannot be better than him. That's the plan. Absolute child and lunatic, however very arrogant. I think it was Einstein who said, insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
The Lakers play better without Lebron. You could see this many times in the past few years. I have been preaching about it alot recently. I doubt that the frontoffice will finally realize this though. We are probably stuck with another opt-in year and then another contract for 2-3 additional years, for 40-50millions a year, eating away all of our chances to field a proper team. All for a 40+ years old dude who does not want to play defense anymore and who needs everyone else to take a step back so he can shine. Welcome to bizarro world. God I hate this dude... I cannot wait to see him gone and LA back to building a proper contender, not this pretender they are now. The funny thing is, if you strip him out of the current roster and for his money you add 1-2 star players just to make the numbers match, the Lakers are an instant title contender, because the team was not bad, they were fine, especially when they did not play with him.
He claimed the team was injured and not whole. So Gabe Vincent, Christian Wood, and Vando were the 3 guys who were the difference between a 1st round exit or championship? Lebron, AD, AR, DLo, Rui, Taurean Prince, Max Christie, Jaxson Hayes all played 65+ games this season. Christian Wood/Cam Reddish played 50. Only Gabe Vincent and Jarred Vanderbilt missed significant time. Dinwiddie played every game after signing with LA.
A big kudos on MJ who's still quiet in all of this, he would have the right to say something and complain but as the great man as he is, he doens't even bother to enter the conversation as he doens't even feel he needs to put himself on the same level, that is another sign of his greatness and LeBron's weakness! The thing is that all this kind of analysis should be done by "real analysts" paid to do that, instead they get paid to de-analyse games to make LeBron look the poor superstar with no help, what a sharp contrast to MJ's era when if they lost some games the fist thing the media would do was to point fingers to MJ not the rest of the team...and Lebron James should be the most scrutinized player in NBA history? History itself doesn't teach us nothing if in a few decades we don't remember what happend and many media personalities where there and they should say it but even the most pro MJ media people say nothing about this!
You’re right on all accounts mentioned. I don’t understand why he (Lebron) wants to be considered the GOAT and he complains so much, do the things you mentioned, and wouldn’t have been able to deal with the “James Rules” from the Pistons or any other team. 🇯🇲❤️🏀
Interesting that the Suns have the same issue that the Lakers do. Someone is sucking up all the offense and clogging the flow of the game. I believe its Booker. I remember he was out and Allen was the point guard, the offense flowed so well and they easily won that game. Allen had like 20 assists too. Just too much ISO and then when they cannot sustain it in the second half, especially the 4th quarter, they became the worst 4th quarter team. Yet "fans" and media blame the support. Yet the other guys are not allowed to get in the groove and when its time for them to do something, they arent in the flow of the game. Team ball wins...
It's hilarious to me how everyone has become a servant to statistical analysis, but when Angry Old Hoops Fan presents straightforward analytics that are not favorable to LeFlop, I only here crickets. Don't tell me that the ESPN sycophants and Never Wright don't have access to the same information as AOHF.
This team should have been able to win more with this roster - plus they were all healthy for the vast majority of the season with very few missed games. This team with this roster should not have been a play-in team that lost 1-4 in the first round.
The average LeBron fan or casual fan that watches a game every 3 weeks will call this “hating” but us basketball fans of the game calls this valid criticism. LeBron and the paid off media needs to be held accountable.
Yo I saw you in the comments of some older Cynical Dude video yesterday. Hell yeah man
No, it's "hating."
@@slender4 i don't consider it hating more like criticism. it would be hating if there was no reason other than not liking the players
NBA and their refs are keeping their chosen "superstars" relevant. They can't even keep up with the real talent in league.
I watch all the games and I'm going to call this hating
The supporting cast doesn't hold their own specialty compared to other top teams
What are people watching
People have their hate glasses on
They want LeBron to score 50 every game But if the team had talent The 30 points he's getting should be enough
But I was told Lebron was a facilitator and makes his TMs better. It’s almost like those are… GasP… lies?!?!?
with LBJ you hear it but with Jokic you actually see it.
That's the biggest created croc of 💩 by the Le-media!
@@jimmywalker8354😂😂😂😂
It was some basketball channel exposing that myth all the way back in 2018 showing how LeBron led teams have no ball movement, or how LeBron has never led a team to have the most Assist per team or Passes by a Team. But actual pass first player's like Magic and Bird did it multiple times.
@@zogood3495 Yup, that channel is called 'Basketball Examined'. Exposed LBJ for the actual fraud he is.
The truly sad thing is LeBron fans repeat what LeBron says and LeBron loving media says. They don't know how to do research
No, they deny everything and make excuses even if you give them evidence. They are just as reprehensible as LeFraud. Also they say something stupid like "Jordan did it too" with no real proof.
Facts. Lebron fans are exactly like orange man fans who wear red hats. Believe all the BS their king and their king’s media says and ignore facts and do zero research.
They really are sheep.
The Lakers need to cut off that 40 year old, waste of money and defensive liability.
Don’t let LeBron control your team
Sounds like he's his own political party. We're all doomed.
ESPN made a post about Anthony Edwards becoming only the second player aged 22 or younger to drop consecutive 40-point games in the playoffs. And like clockwork, the LeBron beehive were in the comments making excuses that LeBron couldn't do it because he never had enough help in Cleveland.
I kid you not. They have no shame just like their beloved _king._
The LeBronda battalion will never surrender🤣🤣
The first player was Kobe Bean Bryant!
@@victorwong6976 facts I remember that
Love when Lebron blames his roster after HE HANDPICKS HIS ROSTER .
Tbh the Lakers team actually have more talents on paper, but Lebron is historically proven to make his team worse and couldn't figure out how to maximize different talents on his team despite being considered an "high IQ basketball player"
The Bron curse - "No matter how great a player you are or were, the longer you play on his team, the greater the chance you will become a bum."
How don't you have enough help with AD, Adam Silver, The Referees, and all the talent the team has. Those players showed several times this season that none of em were the problem. They beat great teams without LeBron, and they beat great teams without ad and LeBron. Playing 4 on 5 defense is why they suck.
That's true. Unfortunately, the Lakers don't have the balls to move on from LeBron. They won't just trade him. If the public found out the Lakers were taking trade offers for LeBron before he had a chance to make it known he was okay with being traded. Like "Thanks for giving us permission Lebron!" almost as if the Lakers are scared of getting in trouble. It's like a kid afraid of getting caught lying to their parents or an employee who's nervous for keeping something from their boss. Last I checked the gm/owner/head of operations was the boss.
But here we are. The Lakers are at Lebron's mercy, unable(unwilling) to make a move without his permission and letting the media know he's demanding to be traded/released so it all looks like his doing. To remind everyone that he, Lebron James, is in control. And what's sad is that even though I wrote this half joking, it really is true. When you give a spoiled bratty kid everything they cry for and fail to tell them no while standing firm, eventually all control is lost and the kid runs the house. Swap out spoiled bratty "kid" for spoiled bratty "NBA basketball player" and that's why Lebron James tells the once proud Los Angeles Lakers what to do and it really is pathetic.
LeBum needs to force Lakers management to dump all the "minimum players" in exchange for MAXIMUM players and spend a BILLION dollars plus luxury tax next year to help lift his sorry behind... need a full all star cast at 1st 2nd and 3rd string...
He needs to leave or take a massive pay cut or this will probably be about the best they can do for the next 5+ years
@@albundy5492 I can't see LeBron taking a pay cut. His ego won't allow it, even if it results in winning. He has to be the #1 option and the highest paid.

Dinwiddie was balling with the mavs and the nets. his production died the moment he played with the self proclaimed high IQ king lol
Come on now it was a reason he was bought out
No he wasn't
At what point do the leflop fans actually open their eyes? What does it take at this point? If the lack of any sort of real offense doesn't do it, and the flopping doesn't do it, and the disrespectful effort on defense doesn't do it, does the acting like he was going to hit a woman then laughing about it finally do it?
Nothing will. They’ll only say he’s the greatest player of all time because he’s the all time leader in points, as if that means anything. I can’t stress this enough……. Who tf shoots a wide open three WITH 17 SECONDS LEFT IN THE GAME?!?!?!?! You’ve got time to drive the ball inside, maybe draw a foul or pass it to an open teammate who can shoot because we all know he sucks ass in clutch moments….. but instead you wanna act like you’re MJ and…… brick. It’s just insane. Sorry for the long paragraph man.
Hell would freeze over first. Woke mindset is deadly allergic to facts and truth.
@@MeechieThaGamingGod remember it was actually that he bricked that wide open 3 with all that time after he got away with an offensive foul and a travel. That is greatness, imagine fucking all that up and then no one talking about it? He has manged to either pay off or fool all these people. I've said it before, leflop fans have to rattle of stats, change history and bash other players to make a case for the best and jordan fans just need to play film
@@kielmaguire5121 they always bring up his one move or his “passing” as if he didn’t pass their way out of a win against the nuggets the final game. He just threw his hands up at the refs as usual, looking for a nonexistent call. What kills me is that all his teammates get the blame and not him. Kobe or mike, when they lost, put the blame on themselves because that what leaders do. Lequeen doesn’t do that at all. Fuck the 40k points at the end of the day and the rings. He’s an overrated basketball player whose team hopped his entire career to get those rings he acts like he got by himself. He even threw his ex teammates from the heat under the bus like he was better than them, which he wasn’t. fuckin crazy man smh
Their standards are so low, they aren’t even registering the lack of offense, defense and flopping. They think him standing at the top of the key for 18 seconds in a half triple-threat stance and then shooting and scoring a 3 is peak offense.

MJ makes his team mates better. Whole Laker team make lefraud "look" better by giving him all the ooprtunities to score, rebound and assist, sacrificing their own stat. All for the glory of the queen!
Guys like MJ and Kobe demanded a lot from their teammates but they also put in more work than anyone else. That’s why they were able to demand so much. -Nobody respects a person who makes others do things they wont. One of those, “do as I say, not as I do..” types.
You mean Phil made everyone better
Oh stop.
For the first half of his career he was a ball hog. He never improved his team or theyd have gotten further into the post season. He didnt kick on til pippen and rodman were added. The celtics used to let him do his thing. They knew he wasnt gonna pass. They played 5 on 4. Winning is the point. Not stats.
Stop buying into ALL the bullshit that surrounds him. He doesnt get nike flogging him like they did from 85 onwards the mystique wouldnt have built up.
He used to bitch at the refs like lechoke, not as bad but still. He was also the recipient of lots of ghost fouls. Go back and watch some actual games instead of high lights packages. He carried A LOT.
@sugarnads You make excellent points. Yes, Lebron wasn't the first to be proclaimed the next best thing before accomplishing anything. Jordan was a gun his first 6 years. He carried and got ghost fouls, but the entire league has always adapted to the officiating and the stars have always gotten their fair share of ghost fouls. But Rodman didn't arrive til 95 and Pippen was a Bull for 4 years before they won, and anyway, it is a team sport, you need other players, and they were a crappy team when Jordan arrived. I think you'll agree that much of the roots of the Lebron phenomenon began with Jordan, but he didn't create it, push it, or believe his own bs. And he did earn his stripes. I don't think you can equate Jordan with Lebron, it's night and day. And just so we're clear. I'm not a Jordan fanboy. I'm a lifelong Celtics fan who is so old that I once criticized Red Auerbach for drafting Larry Bird. Glad I was wrong.
@@Dollauptno it was largely MJ. When he played point for a long stretch before Phil ever got there, he was averaging 10 assists per night and a triple double. It was MJ.
And they have the audacity to say that Lebron makes his teammates better? 😅
The eye test alone made me say, the roster plays better without LeBron all year long. It was kinda obvious on how good they played. It was great TEAM basketball whenever LeBron sat out.
It was enjoyable. It was refreshing.
That’s because LeBron is literally “dead weight” on both ends of the floor. He brings the offense to a screeching halt as he chases stats, and on those rare occasions when he actually drags his old ass down to the defensive end, he looks lost and confused as players go right by him for easy scores. When LeBron sits out, the Lakers get to play team basketball and actual “5 on 5” defense. They don’t have to constantly cover for a washed up narcissistic stat-chasing diva when LeBron is off the court.
@@labynoe One of the biggest things is they just bring up the ball way faster without LeBron. He takes the full 8 seconds to get across the half court and then dribbles at the top a bit. They are basically playing with a 14 second shot clock when LeBron is bringing it up, whereas they usually are playing with a good 19 seconds when LeBron is out. I really think they could be great if LeBron played 20-25 minutes of intense basketball a night. He has the capability of being a good defender, but not the stamina, and offensively he's best getting downhill to the basket, which is most frequently available by pushing the pace in transition.
Been saying lebron makes any team he’s on worse forever. The nuggets have no depth this year. If lebron sat out the nuggets series it would be the lakers vs the wolves right now
LeBum's teammates seems to be disgusted when they are playing with him and he makes them worse and yet another former all-star became his recent victim in D-Lo.
Wasn’t ESPN calling this the deepest roster in Lakers history 😂
Depends on the day of the week
It is hard to convince people who already made up their mind. No matter how strong the evidence is, because their mind automatically creates a reason.
It's REALLY hard to convince people who are collecting a check from CRUTCH Sports.
Any team that beats Lebron Teams are now suddenly labeled as a superteam.
They won the in season tournament with Darvin Ham and that lineup and they were so proud of that championship ring. So what is Lechoke complaining about?
And the Lakers Admin thought it was a good idea to hang that .0000005 Champ banner as if it were a legitimate banner lol. Lebum may as well call that a Ring, seeing as the 2020 bubble is claimed
Also the Lakers had the lead 75% of the time while playing the Nuggets. So does he get credit for that? How come his players were not clutch when it really mattered?
It’s not DH’s fault for LeBron’s lack of defense. Every point Lebron scores got erased on the other end.
LeBron James: the only player in history that makes all his teammates better and always needs more help.
IMO, LBJ just put the GOAT debate to bed when he said at his last post game interview that “it’s just basketball”…. Yes, to us fans it’s basketball at the end of the day, but to any pro players, basketball should be their life… what I’m trying to say is in order to be the best at something, you have to treat it like it’s your life.
Unfortunately for him, the GOAT debate ended in 2011.
Only Bron would disrespect the sport he supposedly loves, is a student of, and has made an obscene amount wealth from just because he’s losing. I could never see MJ or Kobe trash basketball like that just to avoid criticism
Jokic says otherwise lol. Hes the next GOAT candidate after Steph and Jokic doesn't care about any of that
@@jdrmanmusiqkingbut he doesn’t blame his teammates, whine, team hop or call himself to goat
It was never a debate to begin with. The false narrative that he creates along with the sports media made it look like he is the G.O.A.T.
Content like this is GOLD. Excellent video and analysis as always!
I wish the NBA would force LeBrick to swap rosters with Curry. Curry could take that roster to the finals.
LeBron Fanboys ALWAYS downplaying the Talent he's had the Luxury of playing with.. Great Vid.
The narrative SHOULD be how LBJ makes his teammates WORSE.
The Lakers should've cut James and kept Hamm.
Now they will be stuck with an older Bron, older Davis, and forced to draft Brony despite him not even starting at USC.
I wonder how many free throws the NBA will grant the Lakers next year in order to drag them to the 10 spot...
It’s not like Ham was better because even Anthony Davis said “There are some possessions wherever we don’t know what we are doing” and playing Prince 30+ minutes was killing them and he looked absolutely clueless and lost so while I agree that they should rid LeBron and AD and rebuild it doesn’t excuse trying to defend Ham even though he was dogshit as a coach
The Lakers team is stacked, they play good when LeBron is out....He should come off the bench 5 minutes a game 🤣😂🤣
Laker fan here. LeBron should retire and go out before things get ugly. Lakers are better without him.
It’s been ugly a while
@@stevensmith7191And can only get uglier...
I keep wondering how Lakers management doesn't see that they are better off without LeBum.
Money is the bottom line. They’re going to milk him until that retirement season and make all the money they can off of him that season.
If they can't win on the court they want to win at the cash register. Remember Bronsexuls will watch him no matter how much he loses because they care only for him not the Lakers success. They won the in season tournament and immediately went on a losing streak and you know what they hung their hats on? Look at how well he's playing! Like he's playing tennis or golf! MFS it's a team sport!!! If you ain't hanging banners in LA you ain't doing SH*T!!!! ⚡
Sports media just lied like news media. Great analysis
I've never known any player that's as poisonous to the NBA as the "Chosen 1"
Anybody else notice the Lakers franchise has fallen way off?
7 head coaches since 2011 & just 4 winning seasons since 2013.
Last thing they dominated was Disney World.
I was shocked when I watched a recent Pacers' game and saw how fast both teams played. Only then I realized how ridiculously slow the Lakers play under LeBron's dictatorship.
It's sad the media clearly has a script
Prince is actually a very capable starter. He'd start in almost every other team.
The problem is ball movement, he’s a ball stopper and he’s selfish, he dnt want AD to shine they need to play through him and Bron old ass need to learn how to play without the ball.
That'll never happen. Even if lebron wanted to do that, it's virtually impossible to change how you play at his age. It's not he plays how he does by choice, it's all he knows how to do.
I am so glad you brought this up. I'm from Wisconsin and I noticed the same thing with the games in Milwaukee
Apparently commenting helps with the algorithm… your videos are so good I kind of want LeBron to keep playing, an extended career just out of spite to mess with AOH!
If you were managing a team, I think there is a critical equation when it comes to building a team around a single all star - you need to look at points, rebounds, blocks, assists and turnovers per minute played multiplied by expected minutes played per game to decide if there’s value in the strategy. I think where LeBron screws up the equation is with so much attention they’re looking at ticket sales and press coverage deals instead of winning basketball.
The following players have played better before or after their stent with LeBlame's Lakers.
Schroeder: 17ppg 44%fg 36%3p vs 14ppg 42%fg 33%3p (laker)
KCP: 46%fg 41%3p vs 43%fg 36%3p (laker)
Kuzma: 20ppg 7rpg 4apg vs 15ppg 5rpg 2apg (laker)
DO we even need to bring up D'Angelo, Wade, Bosh, or Love?
Just subtract 20% off their efficiency and scoring and add 100% certainty they get Leblamed for losing LOL
PIPPEN had his career high in FG% w/ MJ of 52%, 51%, and 49% w/ MJ (90-92) versus 48%avg (w/o MJ 93-94 in absolute PEAK)
Coming up on 30k subscribers!!! I remember when you didn't even have 10k! The old days bro, congratulations!!
lebum fans = leecho chamber
The fanboys seem to think he's Larry Bird when he's just the opposite. The only time the ball gets spread and the whole team gets touches and buckets is when he's not playing. He's not enough of a threat scoring from range to draw defense and when he drives no one bothers bc you're not allowed to touch the guy. Larry would draw the double or triple and find the open man and when he got fouled he was a lock at the line. One of these things is nothing like the other
Thanks for making this video. Lebron is a great player, but his style of play requires a specific roster set up. When the team doesn't have that... somehow they end up getting thrown under the bus. That been evident on every team he's been on. Unfortunately that includes coaches. Darvin being the latest victim.
Excellent analysis. They should have never signed LeBurgerKing in the first place.
This is fantastic analysis and undeniable proof that LeBron is the problem
This is my asmr
LeBlame game has gone on for way too long. Thanks for exposing this nonsense
I always find the number of points a player gets argument interesting for any game, because the results of the game may or may not be different depending on it. If Player X scored 30 points but the team lost by 10, it wouldn't have made any difference if Player X had scored 20, and Player Y scored 10 or even 15, Player X scored 5 and Player Y scored 20, or Player Y,X, and W each scored 12. Getting more of other people scoring only matters if they score enough to win. At the end of the day if one person scores all of the points and the team wins, that's all that matters. So I find it weird when people argue that other players aren't getting to score or one person is scoring too much. It may or may not make a difference. Somebody else may have a hot hand and getting them the ball would be important, but if you're not playing the total game and keeping your opponents score in check, it doesn't matter how well somebody is shooting.
This might be your most thorough and indisputable deconstruction of the LeNarrative yet.

@@garyaugustus690 Yeah, I think whats changed in the last 5 or so years in the NBA is the need to disrespect the past and put every event into some historical context. I don't get that vibe in other sports, the NBA is like CNN now.
You know I always find it fascinating… over this past offseason when the Lakers “retooled” instead of “rebuilding” by trading for Kyrie, the media AND his fans PRAISED the Lakers and talked about “how much better they were” than last year.. talked about the IMMENSE depth and quality players.. but as soon as they start losing it’s “the support isn’t there” and “his team sucks; we need to trade ALL of them for (superstar(s))” narratives start.. it’s BULLSHIT! I believe one B/R (lechoke puppets) article said this is the “best team” he’s had in 5 or 6 yrs? Yet when the team loses, it’s that supporting cast to blame? How is LeCollapse’s play not on film EVERY day? His standing around on offense? His not getting back on D? His absolute TRASH transition D? His close outs? His “help” D? His abysmal shooting outside of 5’ or when guarded in the post by Jose Alvarado? That’s been his problem since 2003!!! No coach EVER held him accountable.. when the Heat lost in 2011, it was Wade that took accountability saying he needed to let LeFake be the number 1 option… even though Wade was the best player on the team THAT year… every one knows James is an all time great player.. there’s ZERO debate there.. among Bird, Magic, Kareem, Wilt, Oscar, etc… but being lazy and complacent once you won a couple is what has gotten us to this point and why he can NEVER be the GOAT… it’s Jordan then Kobe… Period… Timmy is there too… weird how Nick Wrights stupid ass and Reddick dumb ass say “20+ ppg for 20 yrs makes him greater”, yet Timmy was winning titles his 2nd to last year? With the same damn team he was winning with for the other 16 years?! His fans need to quit assuming we all think LeBron has “sucked” his whole career… no one is saying that.. what we ARE saying is over the last 6-9 yrs, his play has degraded sharply… avg 25 is easy in this NBA… especially if you’re a number 2 option, all time great, and have the keys to the franchise and take 20 shots a game… of course the refs and the nba are doing their part to keep that ppg up too… lol.. it’s trash and why the ratings have dropped precipitously… I’ll bet these playoff ratings go up quite a bit now that Durant, kawhi and PG AND lebum are out of them… no one will have to hear the weak narratives or the bullshit script anymore.. it’s now “just basketball”… I’m convinced that if one team decided to play basketball the way they did in the 90’s (full speed 100% of the game) they would DOMINATE this current NBA… watch the way these current players “hustle”… like AOHF has said before, their cardio now is garbage… they would puke by the end of the 1st if they played at the speed and intensity of the 90’s… lol…

I love watching your videos, but please boost your microphone volume. There is a huge disparity between your microphone volume and the rest of the volumes. For example, I have to turn the volume up so high to hear you, that when commercials come on, the volume is extremely high. Thanks.
LA local and watched every game this season. If Bro. Was in a good mood he gave effort, if not it turns into the blame game with no effort given, to me that is an example of a toxic teammate. I want him out of this town
Dlo takes 7 shots and misses them, Lakers fans chew him a new one. Like I try to explain to them taking only 7 shots isn't enough to get a shooter going. I watch Kobe go 8-23, and I just watch Spider go 9-23, 11-27, you need the ball or shots to be much more effective..you can't get that with Lebron and when Ham was coaching period..especially if you're not an alpha male
They won the prestigious in season Championship! LOL. Nearly swept by a no defense Denver team .Fortunately LA doesn't run the pick and roll well.
I like that you opened with a not so obvious choice such as Taurean Prince. Just proves how deep the Lakers are when someone that got such little respect on that team is also excellent
@AOH Great research. Thanks for proving this point. Sadly, if I shared it with the Lebron group on social media debates, the Lebron fans would NOT watch because they have very SHORT attention spans. * Yes, they need to STOP lying to themselves.
These videos are surgical! Excellent job as always AOH 💪🏾
That is one nice side effect of LeChoke's whining. That the in-season tournament is a joke. He doesn't value it. He convinced the Lakers to fire their coach despite having won it. 🤔
I'd bet that since he doesn't care about it anymore there won't be in-season tournment next season. The excuse will be it was an experiment or it wasn't drawing the expected viewership.
The difference between Nuggets and the Lakers is not about the roster it is about playing together and playing defence and they have Jokic of course who makes everybody play better and Murray that makes big buckets! LBJ does not let his teammates play better but worse because he does not play defence and everybody has to play for him. When LBJ is not playing the Lakers play definitely more as a team. My advice to the Lakers, get rid of LBJ! His time is passed.
LBJ has super shooters like 1.Ray Allen - Miami Heat 2. Kyle Korver - Cleveland Cavaliers 3. J.R. Smith - Cleveland Cavaliers 4. Danny Green - Los Angeles Lakers 5. Mike Miller - Miami Heat.
but Lebrick has never give them credits. Actually, they're all masks for LeBrick's ineptitude.
Another glaring truth that goes against lebalco Stan's that says " lenodefense makes his teammates better"😩
The whole narrative that Lebron makes everyone around him better is probably the #1 lie told by the media ad nauseum. How many times do we hear that? And yet almost every role player he has ever played with performs much worse playing along side Lebron vs other teams.
LeBron been doing this for awhile, but just becoming more clear on the lakers is the fact he is a chemistry and locker room destroyer. All stars become shells of themselves and everybody always seems pissed off and selfish. He also as the leader consistently throws teammates under the bus, argues and blames refs for everything, disrespects the coach and won’t listen (then fires them for “losing the locker room”) and makes everything about himself. No one wants to play with that and it sucks all the life and chemistry from a team. In this landscape, energy and chemistry is genuinely 50% of a great team. When you’re happy to play together and work as a unit and run actual sets, role players get looks for them, stars get open looks and everybody is 1 unit. NBA has gotten so focused on stars and talent but it does not matter. LeBron needs to be on the same level as historic locker room destroyers like KD, Harden, old Irving
Excellent video!!!
This is becoming one of the more embarrassing situations in NBA history. The man has gone through 10 coaches! You’re disqualified from being anywhere near the greats on that alone!
The only superstar who does less with more! Side Note: I'm still upset LeFraud's missed shot counter (all-time) is STILL not moving. He should be significantly ahead of Kobe by now.
But I thought it was "Load Management". That's what Magic said anyway... Until he got dumped on by all of Twitter for saying that, then he changed his tune to "injuries".
The entire organization knows there's a problem, knows what the problem is, but won't do anything to address the problem because that's just gonna make King James through another tantrum. So they'll fire a coach or two, trade a few players, change the name of the team to the Los Angeles LeBrons and whatever else they can think of to appease him... and if they're lucky they'll end up with another decent team that still has an anchor named LeBron James chained to it's ankles.
All that means is that 1 the Lakes aren't solving anything and will continue to be kekked each year in the playoofs... and 2 the players that the Lakers discard will be blessings to other teams and pass the Lakes by in the standings.. Great video...
Why isn't anyone talking about lebron's coaching video that was scrubbed from the internet when Ham was scapegoated and then fired?
Putting Dinwiddie at the bench is just stupid ahahahahahahahah, and I didnt even know he was in the lakers.
Michael Jordan:
“Maybe it’s my fault.
Maybe I led you to believe it was easy,
When it wasn’t.
Maybe I made you think my highlights started at the free throw line,
And not in the gym.
Maybe I made you think that every shot I took was a game winner.
That my game was built on flash, and not fire.
Maybe it’s my fault that you didn’t see that failure gave me strength,
That my pain was my motivation.
Maybe I led you to believe that basketball was a God given gift,
And not something I worked for,
Every single day of my life.
Maybe I destroyed the game.
Or maybe,
You just making excuses.”
Great analysis!
My favorite excuse of his was that he “pretty much played the last 3 games with a broken hand.”
Love your videos. Not sure if you have done this. Can you do a LB video with him not playing? I would like to see how the team does overall. Like how u broke down the player do without him in the lineup.
Keep it going AOH. Love the break downs..Can LA waive James.? I would consider letting him go without giving him anymore money. Barely played in main attraction games, ducked other big players and teams, no major awards, swept 1st round. Time to cut losses and start gaining some assets back, not give them up.
i think everybody is missing the point. the big problem is Lakers and everybody expecting Levbron to lead a championship team in his late 30s, All the respected super stars of the game were a shell of them selves at 39, He has done his time , move on from him and start rebuilding a team , build a better culture at the Lakers because currently there is no strong front office. if not then go get a coach that has won multiple championships to challenge Lebrons thinking otherwise same result, we can see what happened between Kyrie, Kevin Durant and steve nash. My own opinion
Most all of this is the media's fault. Either directly or indirectly. Indirectly, they refused to criticize him at any point in his career. The closest is after 2011, or the occasional criticism of below average free throw percentage. Anyone else would have been questioned for the two-week in-season trip to Miami, which magically improved his game in 2015-16. Anyone else would have been called out for the flopping and exaggerating of contact. Plus, there was very few who pushed the "he can't win in the playoffs when it matters" that the media pushed onto Jordan in the late 80's (talk about no talent on a team), or even Hakeem, Kobe (without Shaq, and surrounded by absolutely no talent until Pau), Dr. J, etc..
Directly, the constant sucking up is insane. The continuous praise for him while not questioning the criticism of teammates. I even heard Bill Simmons say on a podcast how "smart" LeBron was for finding ways to rest while on the floor. Yeah Bill, that's normally called defense.
😂😂😂 BIll Simmoms has been deep throating Bron for several years. Bill Simmons is a FRAUD and I dislike the guy with a passion. He's a Boston HOMER who HATES Kobe and as a result of his anti-Kobe animus, he's made it his life's mission to elevate Lebron to a stratosphere he has NO BUSINESS being in.
Simmons is a clown. I refuse to read anything on the Ringer or his crappy UA-cam channel.
ANY time LBJ wins: its ALL lebron.
ANY time LBJ loses: its ALL his teammates fault.
Simmoms HATED, HATED Kobe and everything good he says about LeBalco is his way of sticking it to Kobe.
Simmons is a fraud and I just wish people would STOP LEGITIMIZING his opinions when he's VERY uninformed about basketball.
He simultaneously talks about Bird being the GOAT while IGNORING the fact he lost FMVP to Maxwell. And in the same breath he'll diminish Kobe's accomplishment because he lost FMVP to prime SHAQ. Smh. Which one is it William Simmons?
He's a low I*Q* fraud.
Nuggets look horrible, so sloppy, all NBA is high slow lob passes, 4 guys out on the 3 point line, traveling every dribble, you can see how the refs allowing certain teams, certain players rap the nuggets, etc...you can see how horrible the flow and shooting is, Nuggets just take it from the refs and Lakers first 3 quarters, then try more at the end, and everyone shutting the fuck up for the pay check...the game is dead, its dark empty stadiums, its cheap or free wnba like seats, and the crowd doesnt even care as they cant figure out all the calls and no calls..everyone is on Xanax....dead'n down, on cell phone, look at the light show, cool hip stadium, whos wearing what, nothing is about basketball, zero... you could go watch a pile of ants outside and get a better game
Lebron making his Teammates "Better" is blasphemy, he only make mfs whose skill is "ONLY " to catch and shoot better...
With that roster and with Darvin Ham as coach Lakers had wins against top teams. But when Lakers with LeBron lost in 1st round, suddenly it's coach's fault, and not enough contribution from the bench. Partially it is fault of Darvin Ham, because coach did not benched LeBron in time and allowed him to choke, like LeBlame usually does in the 4th.
Every player throughout LeBum’s career has had to change their approach and style of play in order to be on the court with him.
The Lebron James effect.. Mr try to do everything, sucks the chemistry out of his team, and forces all the time for players to just shift to being SG.
It was the team that everybody expected KD to take to a chip in BK.
Players on LeBrons team are only allowed to score a certain amount of points, they can't show off or take the spot light from LeQueen.
just as an FYI, Peyton Watson is in the top 25 in regards to blocked shots and he only averaged 18 mins off the bench for the Nuggets. Is he an elite defender? Maybe not, but is he bad? Absolutely not.
At this rate, other teams are licking their chops when they matched up in the playoffs against him. Having 20 years of stats says that he gonna hand them a win in the playoffs. Especially the finals!
I watched half a game this season just to see him play and he was sitting out i think it was against the suns. He was sitting most left chair so noone on his left, and the right was also empty. Only AD got to sit there occasionally when he was resting. No communication with anyone, visibly unhappy they were winning without him. He is very aware they are better without him, and have more freedom, but he wants to be in and winning, in the same time he has to be the best player, noone can be bigger than him, not even AD. Certain teams and players gotta get ducked to avoid embarrassement. But more importantly what he wants is whenever he has to pass the ball, someone to score on will, immediately, however not to ouscore him. Same on the defensive, they have to be ready for everything as a unit of four, without him. If not, starts waving the hands, demoralizing them. He has to look the best statistically, he has to be playing, they have to be winning, but they cannot be better than him. That's the plan. Absolute child and lunatic, however very arrogant.
I think it was Einstein who said, insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
The Lakers play better without Lebron. You could see this many times in the past few years. I have been preaching about it alot recently. I doubt that the frontoffice will finally realize this though. We are probably stuck with another opt-in year and then another contract for 2-3 additional years, for 40-50millions a year, eating away all of our chances to field a proper team. All for a 40+ years old dude who does not want to play defense anymore and who needs everyone else to take a step back so he can shine.
Welcome to bizarro world. God I hate this dude... I cannot wait to see him gone and LA back to building a proper contender, not this pretender they are now. The funny thing is, if you strip him out of the current roster and for his money you add 1-2 star players just to make the numbers match, the Lakers are an instant title contender, because the team was not bad, they were fine, especially when they did not play with him.
He claimed the team was injured and not whole. So Gabe Vincent, Christian Wood, and Vando were the 3 guys who were the difference between a 1st round exit or championship? Lebron, AD, AR, DLo, Rui, Taurean Prince, Max Christie, Jaxson Hayes all played 65+ games this season. Christian Wood/Cam Reddish played 50. Only Gabe Vincent and Jarred Vanderbilt missed significant time. Dinwiddie played every game after signing with LA.
A big kudos on MJ who's still quiet in all of this, he would have the right to say something and complain but as the great man as he is, he doens't even bother to enter the conversation as he doens't even feel he needs to put himself on the same level, that is another sign of his greatness and LeBron's weakness!
The thing is that all this kind of analysis should be done by "real analysts" paid to do that, instead they get paid to de-analyse games to make LeBron look the poor superstar with no help, what a sharp contrast to MJ's era when if they lost some games the fist thing the media would do was to point fingers to MJ not the rest of the team...and Lebron James should be the most scrutinized player in NBA history? History itself doesn't teach us nothing if in a few decades we don't remember what happend and many media personalities where there and they should say it but even the most pro MJ media people say nothing about this!
You’re right on all accounts mentioned. I don’t understand why he (Lebron) wants to be considered the GOAT and he complains so much, do the things you mentioned, and wouldn’t have been able to deal with the “James Rules” from the Pistons or any other team. 🇯🇲❤️🏀
Interesting that the Suns have the same issue that the Lakers do. Someone is sucking up all the offense and clogging the flow of the game. I believe its Booker. I remember he was out and Allen was the point guard, the offense flowed so well and they easily won that game. Allen had like 20 assists too. Just too much ISO and then when they cannot sustain it in the second half, especially the 4th quarter, they became the worst 4th quarter team. Yet "fans" and media blame the support. Yet the other guys are not allowed to get in the groove and when its time for them to do something, they arent in the flow of the game. Team ball wins...
AD alone is more than enough help. Who can guard AD ??? Not many
I think the lakers should have fired lebronze and kept coach ham
It's hilarious to me how everyone has become a servant to statistical analysis, but when Angry Old Hoops Fan presents straightforward analytics that are not favorable to LeFlop, I only here crickets. Don't tell me that the ESPN sycophants and Never Wright don't have access to the same information as AOHF.
This team should have been able to win more with this roster - plus they were all healthy for the vast majority of the season with very few missed games. This team with this roster should not have been a play-in team that lost 1-4 in the first round.
