The rough on his body at that age

@@jmanbee1334 Actually it won't be. Because all they have to do is let one of the other players bring the ball up the court and once they cross half court LBJ can go get the ball and start the offense like he did in Cleveland and Miami...

Won them the chip in 20 imo

@@jmanbee1334 tbh he looks his best since his 2021 bron and this is lebron were talking about he may be old but he still was iron man and better conditioned than 92% of the league

@@dazyaqua9989it’s crazy that he old but they still can’t stop him getting to the rim when he wants

Sure but the guy is 67 years old, he cant sustain that for the regular season. Come playoffs, I fully expect Bron to take more over more often. Normally DLo / AR are good enough to sustain us during the regular season but Dlo is in a slump right now.

@@ernesto829067?🤪

@@ernesto8290people also liked to gloss over the fact Lebron was injured last season which is the reason he was so passive

@@ernesto8290But i dont think how it was sustainable when Vogel & Ham plays him at the 5 with all the physical centers down low. The most healthiest season when he run the PG spot

I've been preaching this since the bubble. Let bron run the PnR with AD and surround him with 3&d wings. And I understand the lakers probably dont want lebron to be exerting that much energy in year 21 but this should for sure be a potential gameplan come playoff time.

Yes but he would have a hard time guarding centers like Jokic and Embiid if he played 5

He could guard all 5 positions till 2013-14, now he has hard times guarding skilled 5 having less leap ability.. Watch usa vs spain in the redeem team of 2012 when he had to guard Marc Gasol and did a great job

@@vladfather916 yeah but honesly who isnt ? like these 2 guys are auto buckets

@@vladfather916 I see. Even ordinary bigman also gets difficulty to guard both.

@@crisisakagod Sengun maybe lmao

Lauri to OKC will move the masses.

Lauri

@@HoopVenue Markanen? But, with whom they trade?

@@Don69Mukgiddey

Chet is a big body and a great shot blocker, but he gets bullied way too much by physical teams. This will be an issue come playoff time and they need a guy who can be an enforcer. Lauri is awesome and idk how much he’d help them on defense, but would definitely give them some extra size.

Yeah I can’t figure out how they lost to Chicago too

@@baconeggcheesepodcast9390no effort

@@baconeggcheesepodcast9390 Chicago is playing super good right now and Coby white is averaging 25 5 and 5 since Zach Lavigne went down.

@@Manuel-so7mz win

They are loosing because of ham he doesn’t know what he’s doing as a matter of fact the lineup in this game if he switched cam for reaves that offense is so much better

they will have problems with the Celtics, the Timberwolves, the Bucks and the Nuggets... all somewhat big teams themselves that overall have better rosters. Austin Reeves is great coming from the bench, but Russel overall is a letdown!

@@antonquirgst2812Russell is why they lost to Denver last year. He will either be traded or minutes greatly reduced by the playoffs this year

@@antonquirgst2812only team that clearly is fav over them is nuggets. Minnesota is basically the jazz from a few years ago. Replace Mitchell with Ant. Gobert is easy to scheme around come playoff time

@@prince21781 maybe- but the Lakers strenght rlly is size and the timberwolves got a couple of big bodies (even without gobert) - i think their record says something this season.

@@prince21781 Russel was a letdown 4 sure but the real reason is that murray outplayed LeBron in thos semi finals (by 23 points exactely- while AD- jokic canceleed out int erms of points as did the benches on both sides.) Those games couldve been won with either Bron or another guy hitting some clutch shots. maybe Bron can keep his 40% from 3 up and stay consistent in shooting this playoff run!

Really glad you enjoyed!

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

Thanks!

He has said for a years now that he doesn't want to play point so probably won't see this a lot :/

Yeah it’s a good line up

With vando and cam too 😳

​@@kaiba6345 source?

@@kaiba6345doesn’t matter. Ad doesn’t like playing the 5 but if they want to win, that’s what it’s gonna tske

shooting guard?

he played shooting gaurd before when he first came into the league.@@fadli6443

Larry Bird the #1 SF All Time LeBron has a losing record on Super Teams..

Because they don't call offensive fouls or carries on him. He literally does it everytime he goes to the basket.

Glad you enjoyed!

So glad to hear it, thanks for watching!

Thank you! I love AD at the 5, keeps him in the middle on offense and defense, makes him more involved.

do you think he could have the same defensive value if lakers got a center lets just say for example myles turner and put ad at the 4?@@HoopVenue

Thanks for watching!

I think as long as he has some secondary ball-handling to occasionally take pressure off of him, he definitely can make it work. DLo/Reaves operating more off-ball, but sometimes taking control to give Bron some rest sounds like a great recipe.

@@HoopVenuesounds about right ❤😂

You’re obsessed with the Goat debate. Relax.

@@AnthonyCriss-8 you are obsessed with being ignorant. Top 5 in the nba today. This is not a goat debate. Triggered Lebron hater

@@wontstopjoc I’m not a LeBron hater whatsoever 😂. And if you’re talking about the current NBA, LeBron James is definitely NOT the best in the League, what are you talking about😹. It’s between Giannis, Jokic, and Embiid.

@@AnthonyCriss-8 i respect your opinion. And sir I have my own

@@wontstopjoctop 3 right now only jokic and luka

not true

It may seem that way, but the lack of shooting doesn't really put it above the 2018 Cavaliers.

Not really anyways. Maybe just 1 season with Bryce before he is officially retired.

Glad you enjoyed!

Lakers the 9th seed goofy 😂

Probably Bron? Idk, both have been incredible.

@@KoreanBoy9713 atm. KD is the moste effective scorer in the league!

his eyes were too yellow to have the vision

Facts bro. I love mj as well but bron if different

All that sounds nice.. until you need to go win a championship. LeBron not in any GOAT discussion. Losing record on Super Teams

I agree. I have thought about this a lot, and I think the best way to put it to MJ fans is this -- Jordan is the greatest position player of all time! Nobody has ever played any single position better than Jordan played shooting guard. So when the Bulls built a perfect team around him, with a HOF coach that could play to MJ's strengths as a shooting guard, he led them to multiple championships. But LeBron is one of a kind. He's the greatest small forward ever AND the best point guard ever! He's basically like Karl Malone and Magic Johnson combined. LeBron is #1 all time in playoff scoring, AND #1 all time in playoff assists, AND #4 all time in playoff rebounds. So he gives you what a wing does best (scoring) and what a big does best (rebounds) and what a PG does best (assists) all in one player! GOAT!

@larsonpark3819 Smh.. it's Fake News saying LeBron is #1 All Time in playoff points or assists. Why? bc it's based on longevity, not on a per game basis. - Also he cheated the game.. rigging an already weak Eastern conference by creating Super Teams, but still struggled going 6-7 games vs bad teams.. then got to the NBA Finals and was exposed. - Also LeBron rejects coaching and runs the "LeSystem offense". A proven failed offense where he dribbles entire shot clocks away and his teammates have no idea when or of he'll pass. Usually a late pass, or awkward step back (brick) 3.. Proven failed LeSystem bc overall losing record on Super Teams. - Prime LeBron Missed playoffs in LA 2019 - 2022 missed the Play-in with a Prime AD Super Team 50 losses

Yeah a 💯 percent facts the only reason bron didn't win many championships because his enemy team is more elite more superstars more solid than his team cavs era and lakers injury era

Losing record on Super Teams. Thanks

5,000 less assists with 1,000 more turnovers than Stockton, but somehow this guy is one of the best playmakers in NBA history? He's a mid playmaker at best, with a mid IQ. He consistently makes bonehead plays that cause turnovers, and takes terrible shots. He's a less productive, slightly more efficient westbrook.

@@Va11idus See, when you make comments like that it's not even worth addressing but let me give you what you want. 5K less assts and 1k more turnovers yet when we talk about the ''GREATEST'' I've never heard Stockton's name. I'll do you one better than that ''The Mailman'' Karl Malone was asked who's the best player ever and he didn't say his teammate Stockton or his arch rival MJ; no, he said LBJ so you make no sense but I'll entertain your desperate and feeble attempt to minimize LBJ's greatness I get that too. Also, when you've watched televised games that LBJ has played on be it the Cavs, Heat & now LA what do you see and hear? In his prime, and even now to a certain extent what do you hear from players, commentators & coaches I know what you hear they ''ALL'' say he's one of, or arguably the ''GOAT'' and you've even heard if MJ & Magic had a baby it wld be LBJ..So, see, it's not an indictment on LBJ it's an indictment on you bc you can't differentiate dislike for ''GREATNESS''...and you know what you watch whether to criticize or hope he fails but you watch. And the bottom-line is ''YOU KNOW THAT WE KNOW YOU KNOW'' and that has to hurt. He may not be your goat but it's getting harder for ppl like you to find reasons to say he's not & that has to hurt too... In-closing, he has 5k less assts than Stockton but still top 4 all-time in assts and has 20k more points than Stockton..Just stop you can't win and you make ''NO SENSE''...but I digress....

@@richieanderson3040 ironic you bring up Malone. If Bron never leaves the Cavs, he is Malone 2.0. A loser with a nice stat line.

Absolutely love this take, well said.

@@HoopVenue Thanks Hoop!!! I’m pretty much fed up with the debate, I found an analogy that works for me, it’s apples and oranges anymore. My focus is just watching what remains of Lebron’s time, to me it’s the greatest sports spectacle we are so fortunate to behold. Keep up the good work! ✌🏼

It’s 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thanks for your support!

2016 Steph, primarily because I don’t quite think LeBron was the level of scorer he was in Cleveland, and Steph has the off-ball/shooting advantage.

@@HoopVenue 2020 Bron easily. 2016 didnt deliver. He had to call Durant to beat LeBron in 2017 and 2018.

@@jackjax7921yea that’s not even a debate.

Darvin Ham is the best available coach for this team.

Vanderbilt is still coming back from injury. It takes time to get back

Thanks! I probably agree with that finishing lineup, assuming the second LBJ is supposed to be AD. Rui/Prince is tough for me, because I think Rui offers more size/scoring/rebounding, but I do like Prince’s shooting and extra passing a lot.
