In one of the strangest collisions of worlds we recently saw @stephenasmith debate whether Lebron James would be able to beat Mewtwo in a game of basketball. Could the legendary Pokemon take on The KING and come out victorious? Stephen A. Smith was unsure which is EXACTLY where I come in! LeBron vs. Mewtwo... GAME ON!

Hi
@@PomniSimp144 womp womp
I love how the conversation very quickly devolves from "could LeBron James beat MewTwo in a regulation game with no powers" to "Powerscaling lore accurate LeBron James to see how hard this mf DUNKS on Pokémon"
Would you like to play Gacha life with me
Yeah, Mewtwo wrecks Lebron, period. This video didn’t even account for Mewtwo’s mind reading feats, or the fact he DOESN’T need a stone to mega evolve into EITHER of his mega forms. Matpat would not have missed this detail.
@@TyranntXIt did though. Mega Evolution isn't allowed as it is an Outside object that enhances abilities and it stated toward the end and showed that MewTwo's Mind Reading can still be snuck up on. As for lore references, in not only the Games but also every form of Media MewTwo has appeared in, it has been surprised or caught in spite of its severe mental prowess. Anyways, have a lovely day!
Honestly I think mewto could just use his telepathy to figure out where LeBron is. Like yh it's possible to sneak up on mewto but if it focuses on LeBron's location then maybe...
But he literally compared wanked composite Lebron to FEATLESS Mewtwo. Didn't take into account Mewtwo's speed, reaction times, nothing. Gotta powerscale both or it's a trash video.
There's actually one big mistake in this theory! Mewtwo doesn't actually need the stones to mega evolve. In both "Genesect and the Legend Awakened" and "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX." Mewtwo is able to mega evolve without using anything. I believed it's called an awakened form, and Mewtwo is able to mega evolve into both forms. With this in mind, I think Mewtwo would beat Lebron even with his comic powers.
The question then would be, can he see LeBron invisible in Mega Mewtwo Y?
Yes because y form increases his psyhic powers including his telepathy
Exactly, I actually just sent a comment talking about the movie and how mewtwo actually would win and I did the math to calculate his speed becuase no has. I’d check it out and stuff
@@JoshuaEgan-nw5ps i think everyone is forgetting
mewtwo can fly-
Bro went gear 4 💀
Mewtwo naturally learns the technique "miracle eye" which would allow it to see an invisible target
also Mist, which could something similar and Barrier to counter lebron's block, not to mention Disable and Future Sight
@@chagorithfuture sight would attack the opponent causing it to be against the rules but the rest still gives Mewtwo the win, in my opinion ofc.
I'm not too sure about the rules of basketball but couldn't you challenge the play if he went invisible with the ball? You could say he did an "illegal basketball move" and we couldn't see it. The way I kinda imagined the invisibility was like a short teleport or blink to get behind the opponent
As a tutor move mewtwo learns gravity which grounds everyone on the field so Lebron can’t block and he can’t dunk so he has to throw and when he throws mewtwo can take te bal
@@MartenZomerman-mp4rr that would physically hender LeBron movement, which is why it's banned

@@PomniSimp144you got the subs, you may rest now
FIRST WARNING FOR ENGAGING IN A LOGICAL FALLACY. MY C.O.N.T.E.N.T = BETTER THEN MATPAT. I HOPE HE NEVER RETURNS.
@@PomniSimp144Good.
counterpoint: "me first" is in mewtwo's natural learnset, bypasses accuracy checks (meaning it can still hit targets with high evasiveness like lebron's invisibility), and with base 130 speed putting mewtwo in the top 20 fastest gen 9 pokemon, any attempt of dunking made by lebron would be pre-emptively countered by mewtwo dunking first
Also TMs and HMs are to my understanding quick learning devices not some kind of drug or equipment that allows him to surpass his natural abilities if LeBron gets superpowers from other dimensions Mewtwo gets TMs and HMs also I could be mistaken but I believe in one of the movies Mewtwo could mega evolve without the use of a mega stone
@@curlyfrize7675 IKR WHY SHOULD LEBRON GET STUFF THAT ISN'T EVEN CANON TO HIM WHILE MEWTWO CAN'T GET THE STUFF CANON TO THEM???
@@OasisAipom One word. Entertainment
@@curlyfrize7675 So yeah, the only thing Mewtwo can't use is the mega X form, X items and berries. Which reminds me, Mewtwo can absolutely Mega evolve into Mega mewtwo Y.
But the speed stat of a pokemon isnt necessarily linked to his actual top speed across a distance. Its more like how fast can the pokemon attack. Plus we dont know the pokemon stats of a human. We have no idea what the pokemon stats of a human were, so we can't use stats at all to compare mewtwo to leBron
The beginning: Mewtwo would be really limited by the rules
The end: Lebron can just pull out shadow clone jitsu, invisibility, flying, and a magic picket fence and he can win, but Mewtwo still isn't allowed to just teleport the ball into the net
Erm maybe because it wouldn’t count as a shot nor a dunk. You can’t just take the ball and instantly put it in the net without it being shot or held
@@Tahj2Scrappy In that case Mewtwo could just teleport themselves there. Also why not?
So LeBron gets powers from any source, including satirical comics, but not Mewtwo? Also, Mewtwo can't mess with LeBron's mind cause it's against the rules, but LeBron can break the rules "as long as he doesn't get caught"? This feels like quite the one sided ref, not unlike a lot of Lakers games I guess.
“Just because it’s not in the rules, doesn’t mean it’s okay to use it if it’s detrimental to the sport.”
He also let Mewtwo use powers that would be against the spirit of the game.
@@GODOFAWSOMENESS1 Wouldn't LeBron's "I block any projectile by existing, haha suck it" ability be against the spirit of the game as well? Going invisible and making clones isn't against the spirit of the game?
@@DaxSkrai it would yes.

Well he did not use the actual Mewtwo from the games, so I guess that is a point in favor of the idea.
What are these bots?
@@derrickdaniels3955Report them for terrorism and ignore them
You forgot to mention how Mewtwo can just hold the ball and teleport, and even if that isn't allowed, Mewtwo is canonically known for being aircraft level speed.
Mewtwo also can see into the future, create mist along the entire court, use power swap AND guard swap, along with disable and confusion. (All of these are from level up, not TMS)
Mewtwo could swap defensive abilities, disable invisibility, and oops forgot to mention- LeBron James couldn't even touch Mewtwo with the force fields Mewtwo is canonically shown to make in the movie.
Who's to say Mewtwo can't just put up a force field around him, hold the ball, teleport to the rim, float there and just pass the ball through the hoop?
I'm so glad somebody else thought to look at Mewtwo's natural moves.
Everyone knows mewtwo slams. This basically was less mewtwo vs levron james and more mewtwo at his most basic level against lebron at his fictional peak
@@joseguadalupemartineztorre9702 Nice analysis man.
@@kurogiri5434it's not that I like Mewtwo, it's that I hate LeBron. If this was Michael Jordon VS Mewtwo, I would've stayed quiet.
Everything u just said is invalid the very momment u mentioned future sight then at that point mewtwo would just bait lebron in taking the ball with denial and use future sight to just camp at the very spot lebron would dunk to pull a counter, no flight or shield needed....(edit) oh and if you pay attention denial only works for projectiles 10:50 so lebron cant block/steal the ball if mewtwo is still holding it so yeah TLDR mewtwo just says "nah id win gg ez"
You forgot to go through mewtwo's movepool
It felt a little unfair having all of mewtwo's powers taken away and giving LeBron all of his.

“MooToo: The Psychic Bovine Pokémon. This lab-created Pokémon is known for its strong psychic abilities and inexplicable shooting and rebounding skills.”
@@alphaa2010womp womp
There is a big flaw here. Lebron's counter only works on PROJECTILES, and since mewtwo's telepathic manipulation of the ball was considered physical, Lebron's counter would not work, meaning that they would jsut keep trading points rather than Lebron always countering.
Which makes it a surprisingly even match. It gets better if you take into consideration Mewtwo's superior speed and Lebron's superior experience. This might be Mewtwo's first ever basketball match so he goes in only knowing the rules and possibly training a little before the match, while Lebron is breathing basketball and is leagues more experienced. This is before any powers with purely their physical abilities.
This is an interesting match.
But dont forget lebron can make decoys meaning he could just make a decoy mewtwo would think hes there then he could just grab the ball out of psychic while floating then gg
@@hypergamer1558 I feel like making a decoy would be considered an unfair advantage, since it wouldn't exactly be a 1v1 at that point
And it also assumes that Mewtwo, a being with intelligence far surpassing any human, would continue shooting the ball straight into Lebron's hands instead of waiting half a second for lebron to fall back down to the ground. And if psychic powers count as physical contact, there's nothing stopping him from ripping the ball out of lebron's hands even before he goes for a shot.
If we go by the rules in this video, Mewtwo could just levitate the ball 50 ft in the air and shoot it at mach speeds to the net and release his powers so blocking would be illegal, and Lebron could never even get the ball above net height without it being ripped out of his hands.
All the Mootoo defenders in the comments conveniently ignoring the decoy point lol@@hypergamer1558
There is one thing you're forgetting about. Mewtwos innate ability of either pressure or unnerve. Those aren't from any item enhancements. It's innate, so Mewtwo can use it to affect LeBron
They also did not look at Mewtwo's level up movesets which it naturally learned without needing TM discs.
I'm not sure how stopping LeBron from eating barriers would help, but pressure would definitely be a huge benefit.
I think there is a flaw. Mewtoo could just get the ball straight up over the ring and shoot it at enormous speeds, which means even if LeBron will counter it, it will count as goalkeeping.
Mewtwo don’t know how to shoot bro
@@Tahj2Scrappy mewtwo knows everything
Also, Mewtwo could just stay at the net and keep possession of the ball even if LeBron takes it

“Mewtwo can’t mega or use TMs because those enhance performance” doesn’t work when you say Lebron can use video game power-ups like a minute later
He had one video game power up where he can make a randomized guaranteed shot while you’re already winning. Don’t forget bro used a game to figure out Mewtwo vertical. And even if mewtwo mega evolves has all the tms he still has no basketball iq. He getting cooked by bron off one hesi. Only thing saving him is foresight and his tail
Mewtwo can just teleport the ball into the basket.
@@Tahj2Scrappymewtwo can just throw him into the sun with psychic
The moment you gave the guy the Comic Book powers I'm really curious if you searched for Mewtwo to have some crazy extra powers from other sources too and not just tried to buff Lebron so he can defeat Mewtwo
Bron wins cuz mewtwo in reality is a sheet of paper bro. Bron the goat

Mewtwo with a little bit of research vs LeBron with every appearance possible in order to squeeze out a chance of winning

Plus,no way decoys are allowed in a 1 on 1 game. That defeats the purpose of 1 on 1.

@@Forest_thatcat our world is healing
I literally commented this without seeing this 💀
This is basically the Game-Theory version of "Death Battle" but instead of fighting to the death they're fighting to game point lol
It also had the outcome of a bad death battle too lol
Mewtwo's level up movesets and move tutor movesets should be included since they don't require TM discs to be learned. Mewtwo learns Miracle Eye by leveling up in Gen 5 which enables an evasive target to be hit, negating LeBron's invisibility. Mewtwo also learns Substitute by move tutor in Gen 3, so both of them can make decoys.
Just wanna say, even though it doesn't affect much, the anime/movie Mewtwo was capable of achieving mega evolution without the need for mega stone.
In the event of compositing data like this, a mega stone is not necessary.
(Note this has only been recorded to allow him to turn into Mewtwo Y, but figured it should still be mentioned)
Also just... LeBron can't turn the ball invisible.
Also Mewtwo is absurdly faster than LeBron. Mewtwo will 100% have first possession and should be able to steal the ball easily whenever LeBron isn’t holding it.
If Mewtu can't use tms he can't use pack with the Powerup or his rings. Me first is obvious but as an example it can get Snetch through Movetutor which should be legit. Miracle Eye goes through sub and normalizes evasiones so it could hit James.
There are more but it would be silly to write them all down...
Oh 100% he didn’t need a stone in Pokkén tournament either, so both forms would be at his disposal.

@@l4gyour just a bot
I’m not disappointed just very mad
mewtwo uses disable turning off lebron's powers then proceeds to clean house.
That’s a technical foul bro😭
@@Tahj2Scrappyif it’s allowed in competitive tournaments then it’ll be allowed in basketball if Lebron’s unfair buffs are allowed.
I don't think this is really all that sound:
1- Learning TMs before the fight should be allowed because Lebron is perfectly allowed to learn new moves or techniques before the fight. That means that:
A- Mewtwo could use Psychic Noise to bypass Lebron's 'Substitute'
B- Mewtwo could use Disable ( learned at level 1 ) to Disable Lebron's Invisibility or Substitutes, and also Imprison to stop Lebron from using Substitutes of his own.
C- Mewtwo could use Brick Break to shatter Lebron's sheild.
D- Aura Sphere Ignores evasion changes, so Mewtwo would still be able to hit Lebron despite him being invisible.
E- Mewtwo could use Swagger to confuddle Lebron before he even gets the chance to pull his tricks.
2- Mewtwo has been shown in media other than the games to be Capable of Mega Evolution without the required stone. Pokken Tournament especially.
3- I'm fairly certain turning completely invisible is 'against the spirit of the game'
Yeah they just looked for any excuse so LeBron could win, this theory ain't theorying
aura sphere can also be learned from level up in level up in every game except lets go
Yea you're probably right
Yes and no mewto only has 4 moves slots available
Also in multiversus, LeBron can only use his block on items that aren't bring held, so if mewtwos psychic abilities count as holding the ball, then his block won't work
2012 being "old" is giving me an existential crisis

Before the move was removed in gen 8, Mewtwo could learn miracle eye, which has the effect of resetting the opponents evasiveness. This implies Mewtwo would be able to see invisible Lebron as if he were visible. Mewtwo can also learn disable which disables a move for 1-8 turns which he could use to disable Lebron's substitute after he uses it. Then Mewtwo could grab the ball with telekinesis, and teleport to the goal to shoot before Lebron can block it.
disable isn't allowed, remember?
It's funny how the comic book version of a character tends to be the most powerful and obscurely insane version of the character
I know right?
It feels like Nitpicking LeBron to only use his strongest powers, but MewTwo only his weakest.
Exactly.
Bro we are not talking about a 1v1 fight but a basketball game... That means that some of the overpowered powers that Mewtwo could use aren't allowed because against the rules
@@mariospiotta2823 Not necessarily true even tho he can’t use psychic powers to hold lebron mewtwo can still score immediately once getting possession. Idk why he made it sound like mewtwo was slow when he uses his ability once he gets the ball he can just fire straight from where he stands before lebron can even acknowledge it. Also TMs and HMs can still be used since it’s not considered consumption of a drug that enhances one’s ability.

@UTubeTrollPoliceNWOleast obvious rage bait
@UTubeTrollPoliceNWOget a life loner
its a good question.
15:40 this scene in the comics shows that turning anything invisible turns her visible... so lebron can only turn himself or the ball invisible...
Oke so couple things:
1. thats how decoy works INGAME not in the logic of the pokemon universe, in universe it's basicly a substitution jutsu, and even then thats not the same as what lebron is doing
2. mewtwo has been clocked around 100mph or around 5x as fast as lebron on his best day
3. waving off his telepthy because "he's been snuck up on" is like saying "this swordsman can't fight because he dosen't have a sword" after a couple seconds he would be able to lock on to lebron and stay locked on to know exactly where he is regardless of invisibility, also as DND puts it, invisibility just makes it so a person can't see you, not that you don't leave any traces
4. mewtwo's psysic power is pinpoint accurate enough to let him fight against multiple pokemon that are just as fast as them, if not more so (the genosect movie) sure they lost that fight but again 100MPFH
so here's how i think this would go, mewtwo would be caught off guard for like the first 3 points, maybe 4 if lebron can put up that guard enough, but then mewtwo just....dodges the guard? and steals the ball as soon as he hears it bouncing and scores 50 baskets in the next fourty minutes
Mewtwo dunking on LeBron is Crazy😂
Mewtwo: "Get dunked on!"

Wait but, mewtwo is intelligent enough to know that if LeBron turns invisible he can just guard his hoop since that is where LeBron will shoot or dunk, and if LeBron dunks which he will most likely do for more accuracy, it is an easy block since the ball will always end p above the hoop, meaning mewtwo has to keep swiping above the hoop to eventually take the ball from LeBron who will plan to dunk, and if mewtwo controls the ball with his psychic powers LeBron will not be fast enough to block the ball, since mewtwo can make the ball accelerate at phenomenal speeds
Also turning the ball invisible probably counts as modifying it. There is no way that’s legal
Even if not, he has to dunk to keep the ball invisible.
@@sodaikitsune602 That's a good point. Which would mean that he can't just go invisible and then go to the net. He needs to dribble the ball making it visible. Not to mention the noise it would make.
@@Odinfrost I haven't read the comic to comment on a ball being visible when dribbling, but he doesn't need to dribble at all as he can levitate, but even then if throwing makes the ball visible his only option is to dunk.
If Mewtu can't use tms he can't use pack with the Powerup or his rings. Me first is obvious but as an example it can get Snetch through Movetutor which should be legit. Miracle Eye goes through sub and normalizes evasiones so it could hit James.
There are more but it would be silly to write them all down...
Ahh, yes, let's pit a guy who can level an island facility against a dude who's good at basketball, questions we all need answers to.
Judging by the wording used in the pokemon series when you use a TM/HM, these machines are more tutorial videos on CDs rather than performance enhancers.
consuming a disk isn't learning, you never see mewtwo actually watching them
@@hothdog the disk breaks, and that's the wording used in the games too. in gen 8, TMS specifically don't break, only trs.
Tom you miss some point
1-the "capture" moment was when he was created
2-if mewtwo can't use psychic powers because its unfair that would mean that a power were you can't even see you opponent would be pretty unfair too
3-you missed alot of mewtwo abilitys like is moveset or move that can power up his strenght, agility and else
4-mewtwo can duplicate himself with once again, moveset
5-you said that even if it's not in the rule doesn't mean it can be use of it destroy the game and his fairness that mean that invisibility and cloning yourself would be a big no no
6-mewtwo canon say that his forcefield is really strong so lebron couldn't even go near him
7-mewtwo doesn't need a mega stone to mega evolve
8-mewtwo is a hyper intilligent war machine im sure he's gonna think of a way to outsmart lebron
In conclusion this is the "sans is ness" matpat theory but for tom
I agree. Just one thing tho - for number 1, he was actually referring to the detective pikachu movie where the antagonist _did_ capture him, not the first movie like you’re thinking. Not trying to be rude, just wanted to let you know :)
Still funny to think about though
The only problem I see with this is that multiple times pokemon talks about how psychic types don't need to see the opponent to hit them, so invisibility wouldn't matter and if LeBron is dunking the ball then Mewtwo is allowed to use psychic to block it for the same reason LeBron uses deny
Oh no this is definetly going to be Tom's sans is ness moment, been a while since they were completly wrong lol
I think you're forgetting an important factor here: intelligence.
See Mewtwo is far more intelligent than LeBron. Yeah LeBron's invisibility might get him the first few times, but as soon as Mewt figures out whats going on, he wont be falling for any decoys (this is basketball not turn based rpg).
Also Mewt can do more than just dunk, LeBron's fence ability only works if the opponent is dunking the ball otherwise its not allowed. Mewt could use his powers to throw the ball at the right angle and just let gravity do the rest. Heck he could probably drop the ball straight down.
Its not as one sided as we thought, but Mewtwo still has the upper hand.
Could a psychic pokemon destroy a human? This dude said maybe and doesn't know how op mewtwo is
Catch is that it's not a fight, but a basketball match with all rules applied (with stretching the definition of some aspects). Neither Mewtwo nor Lebron James can do whatever they want. If no powers are allowed at all, I think it's a surprising even match with each have different advantages: Mewtwo is faster while Lebron is more experienced. With powers I think it would come down to who can get a hold of the ball more often so I would give a slight edge for Mewtwo purely based on speed.
ALMOST. We did not delve into Mewtwo's movepool enough - excluding technical machines, as noted, but including move tutor moves. We have: Gravity (unsure if this counts as impeding LeBron as essentially all it would do is counter his levitation), Disable (which could prevent LeBron from using his moves, though unsure if that counts as impeding), Miracle Eye (which allow Mewtwo to hit evasive targets e.g. invisible ones) and the icing on the cake the two moves Mimic/Me First & Role Play, which allow Mewtwo to respectively copy moves and abilities of LeBron.
I also wonder how far Mewtwo could float the ball up vs. how far LeBron could fly, because Mewtwo could simply drop the ball from high enough into the basket - downward motion and untouched, so cannot be goalkept.
Still epic work, Tom!
I feel like levitating and moving the ball with psychic powers should be illegal. Turning invisible and creating a d-fence behind you to block the ball should probably also be illegal.
The "Posing him to assert dominance" broke me. Hearing it from a theorists channel sent me into a laughing fit for like 2 minutes straight.
This is the most unexpected theory…. Probably ever 💀

Mewtwo gets psychic noise... so it can just hit through substitute.
or taunt
Yup and if I’m not mistaken I don’t thing you can use the multi versus move in the air
@UTubeTrollPoliceNWO why even say this bro its not scary, cool, threatening- like what are you getting off this
@@lildeathbringer69He’s a troll, just report for spam and move on.
@@MudcrownAlso Mewtwo doesn’t NEED a stone for EITHER of their mega forms, also this video left out his ability to read minds along with a number of other feats and abilities.
But if Mewtwo is still holding the ball when he tries to score, it's not a projectile; It's melee
Now I can't wait for a Dragonball channel to run Lebron James Prime vs Majin Buu
I've only watched the first 30 seconds, but asking Steven A Smith about journalistic integrity is objectively the funniest bit that this video is going to have

First of if Mewtwo doesn't get to have a mega stone LeBron doesn't get item powerups. I would also say the best set for Mewtwo would be the ability pressure, and moves barrier, mist, recover, and either psychic or aura sphere which are all obtainable naturally. Pressure would tire LeBron out twice as fast, barrier would be used to block the ball, mist to obscure LeBron's vision, recover to increase Mewtwo's stamina, and psychic would allow mewtwo to manipulate the ball or aura sphere would let him have 100% accuracy with the ball but it could still be blocked.
I know this is gonna sound annoying, but there are some moves mewtwo learns naturally without TMs. Pokémon logic shows that you can only use 4 moves. Mewtwo can learn disable which could prevent one of Lebrons special abilities. The second move is psychic which would allow him to manipulate the ball. Third move I would say mist since it resets all stats including lebrons clone ability. For number 4 is is a tough one. There are 2 moves that rival this slot. Between recover or future sight. Recover is a move that restores hp or aka their stamina. Future sight might be a tricky move and has multiple uses. In the card game it is used to check the opponents or your cards like seeing through the future. In the game it does damage, except for the fact that they describe it in the game a bit differently. In the game when you use the move it says that mewtwo predicted an attack. So this means that mewtwo technically didn’t attack he just predicted it. There are other attacks mewtwo can learn naturally depending on the different generations. He even has the ability to conjure a barrier like Lebron and also prevent his clone attack. Don’t forget that pokemon has abilities. His ability “pressure” forces opponents to use extra pp. pp is the amount you can use attack until you run out of energy. I think pressure could cause Lebron to lose a lot of stamina and energy. His other ability unnerve prevents Pokémon from eating berries out of fear. Fear is a strong weapon that could cause Lebron to lose his nerves since he is only human.
I like it when funny comparisons like this actually get taken seriously.

So LeBron can use a power up but Mewto can't.... bad theory
Everyone’s a gangsta till Mewtwo starts levitating
Interesting analysis. This became more detailed than I thought it would be!
after 1 min of reaserch i found that mewtwo can just learn substatute, future sight and disable before the mach (also x atack would be the equivelent of performan enhancind drugs NOT tms
you never see mewtwo actually watching the tms so it does count as drugs, also disable counts as impeding a player's progress and he can't use it, and since lebron isn't in a turn based battle game we don't know wether substitute is gonna work on him
I think tm's are just a video that makes your Pokemon learn stuff. Like watching a UA-cam tutorial.
7:23 you can't use smash bros for heights. I mean, have you seen kirby's height compared to ridley's height in this game?
i read this as 'could mewtwo actually be lebron james'
Massive 16:59 problem with your conclusion; you rules Psychic as being physical, that means he can just put a Psychic barrier blocking the basket and once the ball touches it when Lebron tries to dunk, Mewtwo can just steal the ball.
The problem is you used the anime also by showing that he CANT do what he did to ash, and by detective pikachu and sneak tactics, that means that mewtwo would have the intelligence to know that the substitute isn’t moving, and it might throw him off at first but mewtwo would figure it out quickly
This matchups is so random it immediately makes it a above average theory 😂😂😂
You do realize that you have psychic senses and can hear him very well since you is a literal cat even if he is invisible plus Mewtwo could go invisible and make after images too
Inverts gravity, mind controls, nah Lebron definitely has any chance 👍
I've been waiting for someone t o upload this for ten years, thank you so much.

This is the first full video I've watched since Pat retired, regrettably so. You've taken up the mantle beautifully
Mewtwo has telekinesis, argument over.
We’re throwing stuff at the wall and hoping it sticks with this one 🔥🔥
But the ring gives him an unfair advantage which is against the rules cuz as you said. “A player shall not surpass their natural ability through the use of synthetic substances” which is why mewtwo couldn’t use TM’s. You also said “Any kind of equipment that is designed to increase a player’s height or reach or in any way give an unfair advantage is not permitted” and the ring is giving lebron a unfair advantage. So no lebron James won’t beat mewtwo in a 1v1 basketball match.
This is classic Game Theory! Thank you for keeping the spirit alive!
You forgot that Mewtwo has Future Sight. The anime shows that the move lets the Pokémon see the future. Not to mention that Mewtwo has pressure, which causes the opponent to get exhausted twice as quickly.
pressure isn't allowed for the same reason mind control isn't
Smash vs MultiVersus aaaa matchup
Alright but frl I really appreciate how Stephen Smith treats every hypothetical with respect, even for the stuff he's not familiar with. Like man genuinely sounded like he was analyzing if Mewtwo could actually beat Lebron. Warms my heart as a massive Pokemon fan.
Im running out of creative ways of saying "please make a drg theory"
What the H.E double hockey sticks are you smoking?can I please have some of that
The smash bros series is a bunch of collectibles being played with by a person so you can’t use that to measure the jump stat for Mewtwo and physic abilities would be disallowed as it would be against the spirit of the game.
Man…these edibles are hitting different. I’m watching a game theory on how if Mewtwo can really beat lebron James.
Im a little worried for you Tom…. I was shook by this title
Funnily enough, we actually have a pokemon 'sport' quite similar to basketball: Pokémon unite, in which mewtwo is agreed upon to be disgustingly overpowered. So yeah, I see no chance of Lebron beating the hairless cat.
Great theory, But you missed that 1. If it WAS illegal to go invisible hen lebron would be caught as he would have to reappear to make the point count, If nobody see him score they can't count it. 2. mewtwo could let go of the ball after it's perfectly aligned close to the goal. Therefore lebron could not stop him because it would be goaltending Lebron might still win but Mewtwo now has a better chance.
Unnerve is such a useful ability for Mewtwo. I mean, preventing LeBron from eating berries cannot be understated in its usefulness.
I don’t care if Lebron wins. Mewtwo definitely does not have the power to resist using psychic powers to turn Lebron into a shape that resembles a tennis ball.

Saying mewtwo is holding the ball after shooting it is a huge stretch.
I love how unhinged this is. I actually cannot get over how amazing this is.
He brought in every Lebron but forgot shadow Mewtwo,mega evolution,and v max.
WAIT if mewtwo can’t fly can he stand up his tail to gain those extra inches
Don't know if it matters as much since Mewtwo STANDS on his tail. If Mewtwo wants to move, he needs to dribble or chase after Lebron if he has the ball instead. Hard to do it if you're using your tail for it. I would imagine it will be easier to dribble with the tail way far behind while using the rest of the body to keep Lebron away from the ball.
on this episode of "things I never expected to be in a game theory video"
Tom just forgot that Mewtwo can learn so many moves, only by leveling up, that's there is no way of LeBron winning against him, that's not even counting all the move that come from move tutors and TM's wouldn't be illegal, since they only *teach* a pokémon a move, that's no different than watching someone teach dance moves for example
Or teaching a person to play basketball
have you actually saw mewtwo watching those tms?
@@hothdog ye in da games
at 12 minutes-ish he mentions how mewtwo is "holding" the ball with psychic, so the fence blocking wouldn't work on it as it is not a "projectile"
psychics takes the worst of both worlds, it isn't physically attached to something so you can argue it's a projectile , and it's be controled by mewtoo so it wouldn't count as goalkeeping
The ring is just the same as mewtwo's mega stone which is not allowed
I missed these sorts of wild theories was worried tom wouldn't continue the tradition of insane videos, they're great
Love the research. Good episode.
