Check out the What’s Wright? with Nick Wright podcast: http://sprtspod.fox/WhatsWright_YT
It's lebrons the problem child. baby james no caps. Lol
LeBron simps have entered chat
West rated finals..LeBron holds both records
Can we criticize LeBron? Why r u pathetic losers talking like dude is a god
Yes nick of course it's never the players fault lol its always the front office. As long as thy r white
Jordan did not have an AD and or RW player with him in the Wizard. You can compare it with Lebron years at the Lakers
Yah, LeBron with all thae cocky comments like playoffmode activated..and we should just forget he aid that cu. Hea wrong
Nick just say SAS and Skip will blame Bron and … Chris is sitting there with a dumb look like no one will blame Bron 🤣🤣🤣
People like nick and media desperate to try to blame Rob Pelikan for Westbrook
LeBron stans trying to revise history about Westbrook coming to LA like LeBron didn't demand for it
My opinion towards the Lakers is they could on win steet or 2 before the playoffs start
Because nobody else was averaging 30/8/6, but that’s just looking at the numbers. He’s actually had to do this out of necessity and not want. You’d have to watch their season to get it, but it’s ridiculous non the less. Dude is the oldest player in the nba and still at a franchise tag level and ppl can’t seem to understand what he needs to thrive to help you win a chip. He can’t play against five in the floor, bad teammates and the front office, what you want him to do ??
That's why you play the games. Losses count.
It's simple the players you name don't walk around calling they self the greatest of all time now LeBron on the other hand he is constantly calling his self the goat so if going to keep doing that then if he don't make the playoffs he is going to hear it
All I hear is EXCUSES…..now they wanna bring up Kobe for negative stuff.
Jordan wasnt a top ten player when he went to the wizards and only went for stake in ownership
Its bron fault he gets the blame cause he set the bar so high for himself and is playing so good nobody cares hes in year 20.
The lakers sent a Trojan horse virus to the clippers team, although unintentional to sabotage the clippers
Let me explain it to you.. Age has no bearing on anything, it's capability. Lebron is obviously still capable of playing at an elite level. Kobe was obviously a shell of himself. That's the difference, pretty simple.
Then retire
Literally none of the teams Brousard mentioned had champiomships aspirations, that Lakers dumpster did and just a year ago LeBron was telling on twitter to people to keep that energy on his squad
Jordan didn't play for like 2 or 3 years Kobe came back from career ending injury had a bunch of kids on his squad.but LeBron had a team stacked and still can go to the playoffs what's even more funnier they made this play in tournament for him and they don't stop with excuses for LeBron. If this was Kobe or Jordan they would of won Championship with this squad. This is why LeBron is not top 5.then they say we'll he's in year 20th.then stop making excuses and retire
Nick n dumb stats ,..
Nick was right about Patrick Beverley. Brou and Wildes still buys into his BS. Patrick Beverley talk is bigger than his play and it has ALWAYs been that way. Dame was like 'I sent you home, son.' And about the Timberwolves, if he was sooo great on defense, why did Ja Morant and the Grizzlies erase THREE double digit 4 quarter deficits in that series and one of them was a 20+ deficit?
Poor lebron. Stop it
the reason why he didnt make the playoffs is cause HES PLAYING IN A HIGHLY COMPETETIVE WESTERN CONFERENCE. UNLIKE THE EASY EAST hes always been in. He got too much credit for his "finals appearances" . Kobe beat more 50+ win teams in the playoffs and didnt even get to the finals as many times as james.
THANK YOU Broussard! Finally a sensical point of vview on LBJ at his age
We got it Mr. Nick, you LOVE Lebron James. We got it, we got it. Sheesh
Yes he is 38 but the LeMedia acts like he is 25 including LeBron himself. Most older players are Roll Players by now But no yall tell us He is still the Star of the Team so Yes the responsibility is on the Stars of that team , It's always been that way . Yall change the Narratives once LeBron is losing
why is Chris trying to argue with the plus minus thing?? lol, just can't say anything that puts Lebron up there still, if any other player was playing at his level right now, they would be considered top 5 right now… unfortunately the double standard has him compared to prime Jordan while he is in his 20th season
Plus and minus doesn't mean nothing if you continue losing. Don't highlight only Lebron when they can't continuously winning. So shut up. Lebron's winning matters because he declared himself as the King and the GOAT.
