I really appreciated this from current players. It’s no reason to hate It’s just all love
Yeah this is great to see
players never hate good player, the fans are the delusional clowns
@@javier321ewqasd exactly
Larry bird said mj was Jesus this is ok😂
for real so weird when players who played against lebron hate like nobody is letting him score.
Trauma bonding over losing to Bron is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
Lolll
They still hurting 😂😂😂😂😂
@@BruhbeChill Big time 🤣🤣
😅😅
I’m sure players were doing it with Jordan too 😂
“They swept us!”….. “WE WAS SWEPT TOO!!” 😂😂 Lebron got Hall of Famers goin thru therapy sessions
😂😂😂😂😂
10/10 🤣🤣🤣
😭😭😭
Got my stomach hurting 😂
Lebronto was a beast! Fadeaway all day! Hotter than fish grease
“2017 ? Yea that was my last year in Indy, he got me up outta there too” 😂😂
Bron is THANOS 😂
Bro 😂
It was actually 2018 demar just didn’t wanna mention that he got swept by bron 2 yrs in a row lol
Ik yall remember all the lethanos memes in 2018 if he got the ring it would’ve broke the internet 😂
@Ronald Johnson they were the number one seed that year too and they got swept
@jaymoore thanos bruh?! 😂😂😂 that is the perfect description of LeGoat!
It amazes me how the players, who put in thousands of hours of work, respect and admire Lebron, but some fans, who probably got cut from the tryouts for their college team, hating on him.
College? You mean middle school?
@@Ril014 😂😂😂😂😂
Some of them Mfs can’t even play in a pick up game at their local gym 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Same players say Kobe is one of the goats but doofus fans and analysts place him outside the top 10-15 lol
Bro, giving them college ability is wayyyy too much credit!! I played bro and i smoke just about everyone I meet.
You know Bron’s been around forever when you search “LeBron vs. (Team Name) 20…” and it auto-fills like 3 generations of teams. 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Nah for real 😂 It’s like yeah just pick one there’s so many lol
@@Mishad8 ahhaha
😂😂😂😂😂
Nahh PG you went up against every version of LeBron & got cooked lmao
And people say Player's don't respect Bron these days smh
People that said that are just haters. Just like those analyst in vegas putting everyone else above Bron in this playoffs. They credit Memphis and Morant, Like Curry and Gsw. And now they are putting Jokic above him again. they will always discredit him so when he wins they can still put a reason behind everything that they mentioned.
The new wave don’t
@@Xocticz That's why all of them are home watching the LEGEND
@@Xocticz You talking bout Dillon Brooks? Is he even in the NBA still?
Them old heads are straight haters. Those who battled prime bron know what he can do!
Those Pacers vs Heat series were intense. Paul vs Bron was awesome
Roy Hibbert just gave up at the worst time.felt like they would have beaten Bron to the finals.he was the key but then personal issues came into play.That Pacers team was fire.Even the bench was scary AF
Danny Granger as well
Facts I really wish Paul could have got him at least once
@@gnooy13mdfkthis man a real dawg in the nba if he know who Danny Granger was, bro was lethal
"Players don't fear Lebron" is one of the biggest fallacies ever spouted in sports. There's a different kind of fear each all time great player instills in you. Magic's superhuman IQ, Court Vision, Playmaking, and Leadership. Jordan's surreal athleticism, competitive drive, shot making, and clutch shot making. Lebron's off the charts IQ, athleticism, strength, and the ability to take over the game at every facet of it. Same with Shaq and his speed, strength, combination of finesse, skill and athleticism. Birds shot making, saviness, IQ, all around play. You get the picture. Those players with those extra intangibles that are SPECIAL make teams for you for that reason. It's those skills that make coaches, staff change the gameplan to such a degree It's crazy. Players fear Jordan, Lebron, Kobe, Kareem, Magic, Duncan, Shaq, Bird etc. For these media pundits who just recycle narrative spouted from Old heads to discredit the new generation and prop up the old one is sickening.
perfectly said
The east made rosters in hopes to go through LeBron but we all know how that 8 year stretch went
@@jescorpizo7614 Thanks for putting Duncan in there, he's definitely one of the GOATs
@@3KRacing Duncan top 5 and people should put some respect on his name
bron is the way better version of magic
Rondo and Anthony Davis wit the screen roll or pick roll
was super efficient.
What’s the difference between a screen and a pick?
Normally screens are off ball. Pick is on ball. They the same chenage in theory
Hell, when you got Rondo as the ball handler in the PnR, and AD as the roll man? Unless your help defense is IMMACULATE, good luck stopping that.
I'd love to see Rondo coach. Dude has the IQ to teach.
It don’t hurt when you have Godzilla Anthony Davis who can touch the stratosphere when he goes up for the basketball after a lob
And they say people don't fear LeBron 😂😂😂😂😂
Where’s the “fear” here? Don’t get me wrong tho I have bron as my goat but I don’t see fear they’re just acknowledging his greatness
No good players fear him. Who tf cares about Demar Derozan and Paul George 🤣🤣🤣💀
@@saradaharunoofthesharingan1028 nobody knows u doe
@@saradaharunoofthesharingan1028 they’re literally all star players you 🤡
@@raymondsims7042
And so was Zydrunas Ilgauskas, your point?
Lebron broke so many franchises up. People forget he did it to Arenas and the Wizards, the Pistons that beat the lakers, etc. dude so damn old and dominant.
The greatest of all time I’m sorry.
Bro did it to atlanta a year where they were the first seed
Man I still go back and watch that young 20 21 22yr old lebron dude really was built different how you get to the finals wit no no.2 riding shotgun before your 25th birthday 😂😂
And still breaking up teams till this day lol Dillion brooks, Jordan Poole 😂😂
@@ronaldjohnson5717 outlasted and ended the warriors😂😂
DeRozan is an inspirational dude, wish the Lakers didnt low-ball him in 2021.
Facts, woulda love seeing him play with LA
Fax man it was sad hearing that he was ready to come to LA too but we decided to go with Russ 😤
It was lebron's biggest mistake. He really choose Russ over DeRozan. It haunted the Lakers for 1 and a half seasons.
Definitely would’ve been a better fit than Russ but it still wouldn’t have gotten them anywhere unless they also would’ve resigned carushow and made some other moves to really have a balanced roster
@@bigpoppa3999 Probably wasted this chip chance, they lost kcp in the trade now he is killing the Lakers. Now i m very sure they need Kyrie to sign 30 mil 1 year. D Russell is super trash can;t shoot cant defend and cant pick n roll.
“Ha got me up outta there too”😂😂😂. Bron’s the goat
Let’s not act like Paul, George and DeMar DeRozan are not tough. LeBron James is good PG and Debo some tough shooting guards.
This is why when oldheads say nobody fears LeBron I instantly call cap. LeBron’s way of beating you looks different than Mike’s but the fear and respect is absolutely there. This is no slight to DeMar or PG, because these guys are super talented to the point that people were saying they were supposed to dethrone LeBron at his peak. I have no doubt Steph, KD, Kawhi, etc all have similar stories
i don't get how it's different, if they know bron can drop 40 on their head and sweep them then it looks like the same fear mj would instill in people too
@@ArmyofDrag343 because the way both players approach the game is very different. Jordan will simply trash talk you and hit any shot in your face while locking you up on the other end, simple dominance. Oldheads call LeBron soft because he doesn’t do it that way. He’ll dominate you as well but he has a high level of respect for his opponents on the court. He rarely trash talks, but he calls out opponent schemes, he adjusts his approach based on his opponent, and he’s okay with letting his teammates beat you as well even though he has all the talent and physical gifts himself. Both players built their GOAT cases off their individual styles and you gotta just appreciate both in the end
kawhi doesn't fear lebron
@@confidential.theone Kawhi wouldn’t fear Jordan either lol he’s the exception to the rule. Peak Kawhi had a consistent respect for the game and was dominant on both ends vs anybody in the league. There’s a reason people were calling him a cyborg for a while. I think we might be having legit all time convos about him if not for all his injuries
What's crazy is that the old heads of the day said the same stuff about Jordan.
I think human psychology just turns most of us into grumpy "get off my lawn" types who valorize "back in my day"
“He got me up outta there too” 😂😂😂 pg so funny
Lebron post 2011 was a different beast. Ppl who didn’t see him live back then don’t realize just how dominant he was in his prime. Him a couple yrs younger and this denver team would be bbq chicken to him.
Huge respect to these two for praising Bron 👏
4:34 - That disrespect towards PG saying he was lazy on that game winning layup Lebron had. He wasn't being lazy, he played Lebron way too strong on that play which allowed Bron to spin off of PG once he caught it and drive for the layup.
At the time, the thinking was that Lebron was going to shoot because there wasn't much time left on the clock so playing him strong would have forced a very tough jumper that could have potentially been blocked.
Instead, once Bron felt PG was defending him too hard - he made that split second decision to go for the layup. Considering he was in his prime and had an open lane - it was the right call. PG just overcommitted to defending him 1-on-1. But lazy is absolutely the wrong term to use there.
It's so funny how he heard the story and the breakdown before and still walked away saying 'lazy'. PG like 'That's what you got outta that whole story?' smh
Lebron also had a habit of shooting when he drove left. Arenas has talked about it, and even Jordan once said I'd beat him by making him go left. So, I don't even think it's accurate to say George pushed in too strong.
I think Lebron just hid the fact that he developed a new tendency, so George had no way to prepare for it.
@@blanktrigger8863 Considering that both PG admitted to being overcommitted as well as watching the game live when it happened where even Miller observed that PG played Bron too strong - I'd say it's definitely an accurate way of describing that sequence.
facts bron failed plenty of times as a young guy in cleveland and it was needed
failure leads to changing the way you prepare
and that leads to success
pg over achieved as a young guy in indiana , guys like luka gets praised for getting bounced in the playoffs while pgs success as a young player is criminally underrated
@@blanktrigger8863 That’s literally every player. Jordan shot when he drove left. Kobe did too. People acting like Jordan dropped knowledge when he said that.
I appreciate you guys being cool and humble enough to tell the truth.
this is what sports is all about. great sportsmanship. RESPECT
6:09 The Heroics of 2018 playoff Lebron were mind boggling 🤴
Miami Bron was nice, but early cleveland years Bron was crazy if you think about it
The malice he unleash againts detroid piston.
I mean, his numbers been basically the same every season, including this one. Foot injury at the end of the season has slowed him down in the playoffs a little bit, but he still got it.
@@solido888 his defense hasnt been it since maybe like 2018ish bc of his age and mileage obviously.. He's still the goat but he isn't better than what he was in either miami or both cleveland stints
@@jayh4709 I think that's primarily to do with the offensive load he had to carry from 18-now. The first year with AD and this year he's been excellent defensively in the playoffs. He obviously isn't what he used to be but nobody not named luka is hunting him on a switch. Combined with his IQ I think he's still a solid to good defender on most nights
@@jayh4709 he had all nba defense in 2020.
It’s great to see people finally respecting and appreciate the greatness of LBJ.
Because it's the players finally talking. Not the media personalities/hosts who all have their own biases.
@@thorodinson3597 this is it. Crazy how people have literally made millions from just discrediting, minimising and lying about Lebron
People don't fear Bron - - Chalmers being high
That’s also cause he never had to be 1 on 1 with LeBron. You couldn’t double team or play zone against Jordan cause of the rules. So if you had Jordan it was JUST you.
He's like that kid who got picked on by his own doings and then go around stirring narratives 😂
If you Google some Heat YT clips, there's even one Bosh was yelling at Chalmers and even Noah was there clapping
1:50 funny asf part 🙌
As a LeBron hater, he is really good
At least you admitted it salute to you.
wtff
LEFRAUD HATER AS WELL 👍🏻
Must be miserable being a LeBron hater.
@@djdarklyceum These people wear it like a badge lmao god save them 😄
😂 Dro and PG keeping it real 😂
That bron impression was gold how is this going unnoticed 😂😭
“We were swept too”😂😂 7:12
PG in 2014 going up against Prime Lebron was insane
Dope convo i respect how much the players respect Lebron and give him his flowers.
Paul George to bulls would be fire… hoping lonzo will come back too
That actually would be nice
@@saanyofficial6154 I’m not sure who they’d have to give up for him but a line up of AT LEAST Lavine x DeRozan x PG would be fire. Y’all can figure out the 1 and 5 spot
Yea mad fire….. fart
Because the Bulls need more injury prone players.
Only if D🌹 come back !
These are two very talented wings. 20 points on a average night, easy.
25*
Indiana Paul George was insane
We was swept too 😂😂😂😂
Love when players recognise Lebron’s greatness . I was tuning in to this content. Respect ✊
“Yea we got swept too, shit” 😂😂
I love how P talks about the game..
Keep doing your thang PG, we love you!🫡 💯
Who else is here after bron dunked on Paul 👀😂
This why Bron the 🐐
This video just makes me want these guys on Lebron’s team. So much respect. Real men giving another man his flowers. That’s how it should be. Bro just earned a subscribe and a like. 💐
This casual sweet little talks are a sort of complimentary reactions to lbj. Some sort of subtle surrender and concession. Kudos to these gentlemen.
Dope podcast guys
I am really enjoying getting to know some of these guys off court im 41 we didnt have this access when I was younger. I am late subscribing I guess P was never on my radar to follow much being a Orlando Magic fan and D wade was my favorite player of all time so far. Of course I know how great P was in matchups but again never had a reason to follow his career but my Brotha I fully support this Podcast and appreciate your voice.
Them dudes are really bonding over the fact LBJ got both they asses traded. Lol. How you make two teams blow their shit up in the same year cause Demar is a monster (Demar…. My Magic could use you), and Paul George (My magic said we can get you one ten million dollar car every season you’re in Orlando…. Think about it) is a goon.
Yo magic getting Fred Vanvleet (Toronto's sloppy seconds) instead 😂
@@feelsgoodman420 we’re getting Dillon brooks and game six Klay…
@@joshuawaiters8429😂😂😂
i like this generation of players having podcast.
Great listening to two star players, who know first hand from experience, what LeBron is about on the court...instead of a bunch of keyboard experts on social media
“yeah,that was my last year in indi..he put me out there too” 😂😂
For those who dislike Lebron, either you don’t understand the game or your hate is so damn great, it overpowers greatness. Please enjoy watching while it lasts. These type of players do do not come often. NBA is gonna be tough to follow after this guy retires for sure. Things will be so mundane. That of course could change if someone special is coming along. But up until today, there’s no sign of a new prophet unlike the gap of MJ, Kobe, and Bron. I sure hope someone will come along soon. Otherwise, I might have to find something else to watch 😂
Podcast p we love we love ur podcast from mexico 🇲🇽
Awesome podcast. Would be killer to see the plays along side them talking about it.
I just love how everyone is getting opportunities on the lakers not just him and AD, actually trusting his teammates
Anybody saying “nobody’s scared of lebron” was prolly 6 years old when he was young and literally COULD NOT BE STOPPED. It took entire DYNASTY organizations in Spurs and warriors to stop him. People don’t get it.
Love this! P and D are great together
Demar saying you know what I mean like whole pod😂😂
This is how good LeBron is, LeBron beat up on DeMar so much I honestly think it made him overlook how much of a talent DeMar is.. That's why he didn't grab DeMar when he had the chance to team up with him in LA. What DeMar do? Have one of his best season ever in Chicago I was begging for them to grab DeMar from the start when he was available, Bron was like, he alright.😂
Lebron wanted Demar. The lakers GM didn’t want to give DeMar the contract he wanted.
@@flashyizlive If LeBron wanted him, they would have him unless DeMar just didn't want to play with the Lakers.
@@flyazzplayboy they lowballed DeMar..... he wanted a 3 year contract but they wanted to give him 2 years...... even Bron said he wanted to play with Demar
@@antoineast okay👍🏾
Lebron sees talent probably more than any other athlete in the league pretty sure he’s not overlooking demar 😂
The greatest chess players in the world aren't masters because they're Einstein level geniuses. They're chessmasters because they've memorized nearly every important game ever played. They know what moves to make because they've literally seen it all before.
I think he put me away too man😂😂
Man gotta love PG and DeMar! Hope to see one of you plays with Bron before he retires.
As a celtic fan. And a LeBron hater. I on ly hate him as an opponent. I respect his game.
I hate to say it, but Miami is going to cream pie ur boys
Bron not taking a shot is literally him trying to get his team going….
I love this podcast, it’s amazing ❤
real talk, recognize a great player and no hate. Really nice to hear.
PG could sit down with damn near the entire NBA and have this conversation lmao
Right, 2 decades of dominance you can imagine how many players today or even those who retired have stories about Lebron James. 20 years of greatness and stories. Man when he retires, the books and stories will all come out of what this man did.
Kobe, Bron, and CP3 are examples if players who break the game down on a DIFFERENT level I need CP3 and Bron to continue that series Kobe had on UA-cam just breaking players game down to how they miss open spots on the floor to shoot
Draymond Green tries to do it.
@ampmri2434 he might be a step under those guys but he be talking that talk too
The Title of that Series is Detail.
@jeromepeterdevera1881 YES that's its Kobe was breaking down how KD need to be a better post passer I'm bout to go re watch all of them 😤😤😤
Lovin this PG podcast
They talking about Bron like he the grim reaper lmao
What crazy is bron games Always be close too so u think u gotta a chance then boom there goes ur hope and dreams
Le👑 of the East! swept and shipped out 2 HOFs in one year! ❤️ These player podcast, awesome views and stories - kuddos Draymond, PG13, JJ and Agent 0!
Btw, calling it here - if Lakers kills Nuggets this year...BIG changes coming in WEST for Clippers, Warriors, and Nuggets! It only took Grizzlies 2 days to ship Mr. "Too Old" to China!
Demar Derozan and Paul George are not hall of famers, they accomplished nothing in their careers aside from making it to the NBA and a few all star games 🤣. Dirk, Tim Duncan, Stephen Curry, KD, Wade, Chris Bosh, Kyrie, Kevin Love, AD, Dwight Howard are hall of famers....
I remember watching the pacers vs Miami with my dad as a kid every year saying “this is our year” and we lost every year. Pg before u hang it up we need 1 last season in indy! 🙏🏾
2 b honest n ppl don't realize it, but LeBron actually elevated throughout his career durin every stint he had wit each team.
Get russell on here too
He’s in the playoffs
@@saidaalvarado2168he is not
@@EverlastingAura1 he talkin bout dlo
Y'all talking about different Russells
@@7mileTen anyone would assume Westbrook because they’re literally on the same team…
They don't mind talking about this stuff cause they're all brothers in the game. It's really cool to see people appreciating greatness that it's okay to get swept by Lebron or lose to him. These superstars or once upon a time superstars that have lost to Lebron know he's on another level all together.
“Paul George He Put me away to Man”😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Imagine if Bron retires and starts a podcast. He'll have each superstar go "so, how did I beat yo ass?"
Demar wearing hella red is crazy ngl
Bro gangbanging ain’t that serious
Favorite basketball podcast hands down
Lebrons control of the game is unparalleled
Big dou❤
😂 🔥🔥 i love this podcast
P: They 🧹 us 4-0
DBO: 🧹 us too
New swept bros
The celtics, raptors, pacers, pistons, spurs, warriors, hell even kobe took lebron as serious as possible. "Feared" might not be the right word, but all of lebrons career teams had to go through him to reach the finals or win it. Every player at least had to respect him.
On point 🎯
Dudes literally pray to God just to get passed Lebron...Big Perk said he prayed to God so lebron could get injured..I have no words smh 🤦
Podcast P, fire
I knew DeRozan was about to say that play. “Turn the 0-2, into the 0-3” 🤣🤣
Paul George has a podcast .
They way he said they swept us too
Dope story and they grown enough to be open and not hating
This ain’t a podcast. This is a therapy session 💀
Yall wild in these comments lol they just players showing respect to a peer.
Correct me if i’m wrong PG. But I think when LBJ hit that game 3 shot and eventually swept the Raptors. It was 2018. Cause it was LBJ’s best playoff runs. It was Oladipo’s pacers he faced in the 1st round. You were already in OKC.
i think ur right because next year kawhi become a raptor and win the 2019 finals...but theres a chance he means its 2017-2018 season
I thought the same thing. PG wasn't traded the year the raptors were swept. It was Victor. I was at a pacers/cavs playoff game during that playoff run and PG was long gone by then. Great atmosphere btw. Lance stephenson antics hyping the crowd. "We don't miss you!" chants to George Hill. A good time.
He most likely confused it for the previous year, if I'm remembering right.
2017-2018 season
It would be cool if the could add the clips of the plays they're talking about. Would take the education of the game and making decisions on plays to the next level.
these 2 felt it better then anyone 😂😂😂
Pacers vs Miami was a dog fight
One of the best playoff series
The Durant shenanigans going to GSW and creating the greatest team ever merely because of a cap snafu, something that will never be allowed to happen again, ruined some great Lebron achievements. 2017-2019 Lebron was peak Lebron...mind, body, and soul and then he had to face an All-Star team.
Definitely true, Jordan never have to face that shit, that’s why the goat debate so flawed. Jordan didn’t have to deal with the level of competition Lebron faced. Don’t get me wrong he’d obliviously would put up 50 in todays league but individual talent don’t always equal team success. But Lebron’s prime was definitely wasted with a lot of bullshit.
@@jamalwarren8496 Jordan played in an era of basketball that was designed to stop big men...Lebron played in an era that designed to stop iso-scorers, Jokic plays in an era that was designed to stop the 3 point shot...so the goats of each era are the perfect player to take advantage of league fads and weaknesses. Nobody could guard the perimeter and the rim in Jordan's era, Nobody could guard the point forward and stop lebron from getting others involved, and now nobody can guard Jokic because the league has gone small. I'm not sure Jordan would have ever got a 3 point shot and would be more of a d-wade, derozan player today.
T-Mac successors (both Demar and Paul George) debating each other. It so fun.
This was hard!!
PG putting bron in a lot of titles, is he obsessed? it’s crazy how many players don’t have rings cause of bron i guess it makes sense. new and old players, even pierce stuck on 1 cause of bron
The fact that PG being a star player and still making extra money by using Lebron's name is insane🤣🤣🤣
podcast is the hottest shit right now..I mean draymond is killing it since last year
