Kendrick Perkins is a clown and a sucka nothin else. Hes all time trash and a 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Thunder 🎯💥🎯 Firepower!
It's always the one's that don't have a legacy to talk about someone's legacy
Perk cooked Shannon😂😂😂
Lebrons expectations are greater than mj at 39 because lebron is hand picking the team. I get the players you ask for. MJ took the wizards as they were, which we all know was more a business decision than anything else. MJ is the goat!!
Divas exactly…Jordan the true GOAT never blamed his coaches for failing. He took accountibility worked hard and became better. Not the like the sisters lebron and davis. They blame the coach to feel better about their failures…SMFH
If Sharpe won’t compare himself to Lebron then why waste his time & most important energy defending him?
Makes absolutely no sense.
Lebron leaves a path of destruction all the time while he gets his bank roll filled to the brim and only a few rings.
Here in Africa i think kobe is bigger than lebron.
You'll see a laker 24 jersey 10x before you see a Bron jersey
Perk standing for truth? 😮
Hahaha
The very thing used to create him is now being used to destroy him
All them put Lebron on that pedastal.
Kobe 🐐 🐐
Dear Lebron James Haters:
[AND THIS HOT TAKE BY BIG PERK]
1st off…MEDIA..and others have said…..THE LAKERS WILL GO AS FAR – AS ANTHONY DAVIS WILL TAKE THEM… yet when they lose – it's Lebron Fault.
It's all about EXPECTATIONS…..owners have expectations when LBJ is on the team…..and typically a short leash for young coaches.
Unfortunately for LBJ….Spoelstra and Ty Lue….were the only young coaches that got the job done.
Players play…. coaches coach…. managers manage.
Lebron likely in year 21 may still be ALL NBA again. Was the leash short with Ham, probably so.
But to say Lebron fires these coaches or is the reason coaches are fired – it's typical LBJ SLANDER.
no milk at Wal Mart – it's Lebron fault…….lakers trade all draft picks….Lebron did that too. LMAO & SMH
All stars get consulted and probably can give a coach a vote of confidence prior to them being let go
See Giannis – and Lillard….they didn't save Griffin with Milwaukee prior to him being let go……and
Lebron and AD didn't save Ham.
Just a week ago – AD said…..AT TIMES, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING ON BOTH SIDES OF
THE FLOOR that was a indirect [DIRECT] shot at the coach.
Yet, the slander comes and LBJ is a coach firer
Perform like Ty Lue and Spoelstra……you good………show that you not ready……then oh well.
STOP THE SLANDER
Take Lebron out of that team and would we be having this same conversation about the status of the Lakers🤔 maybe put Wiggins or DLo or AR in his shoes would they be shitting on them this hard
Jordan had taken years off to before he came back.
What the lakers need is a solid draft choice that LeBron can mentor and rebuild the team. STOP GIVING LEBRON THE GREEN LIGHT. IT NOT WORKING..
Anthony Edwards right now.. Is a better player than LeBron.. Dont get it twisted..
They only feel that way because ham is black
Shannon you expect that from LeBron because everyone is trying to move mountains to bring more help to LeBron. Nobody was doing that for MJ. Stop creating a narrative!
Sharpe is shameless. I like him, but Shannon sold himself out to Klutch along time ago. He never, ever holds Lebron to the level he should. He's just so unserious.
But Bron does the air crown and was KNOWN as THE AUTOMATIC CONTENDER before he came to the West from the Weak East — Remember Lebron walked off the court in post season
MJ GOAT ALL DAY
PERK IS CORRECT! 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
It does hurt his legacy. LeBron does speak behind closed doors. C'mon!?!?
Perk is a clown
