I think the Lakers can repeat. Win 2025 & 2026. LeBron James can finish with 6 rings and 3 of them be in LA 2020, 2025, & 2026! Thats what I hope for and Luka helps.
Bron the Goat
And Mad Dog is High , Cleveland is not a better Sports town than Los Angeles 😂 . Stephen A needs to tell Mad Dog to, “Stay OFF the Weeeeeeeed…. Dah “!
Shannon if he was 😂 here to listen to the last part of this vid he would have argue Steven A down lol
SAS IS THE WORST AT DEFENDING MJ AS THE 🐐‼️
they got nothing to talk about rn with this debate
It's the Cavs from a realistic what if standpoint, it's LeBron from a miracle standpoint. The entire segment is disrespectful to Boston, OKC, and Denver who are the more likely contenders than the Lakers though, and exists only so we can have the 1,000,000th discussion about MJ vs LeBron which was settled in 2011.
6:40 Which team?
Cleveland is underrated. I have the means to go anywhere in the country but I remain here.
Lebron would destroy jordan ..
dude fire mad dog, he hasnt had one good take.
No don’t talk LeBron 5th ring at all becaue if he don’t win it it’s something else to hate ..keep it the same Luka is for the future ESPN YALL NOT SLICK
SAS MJ at his very best played the very worse of competition compared to lebrons .
Of course, the Cavs win.
Lakers winning would suck. I'll end up turning into 24/7 lakers Bron . Im sick of hearings about both already .
If he wins another title, more people are going to agree that he's the goat.
He's been the goat since 2016, but i get it some people always need to see more.
Its 50:50 right now for the population, it'll be 75:25 if Lebron wins another one.
Doggy gotta go man. He adds nothing to the conversation.
Mj at his best or Bron at his best …. The answer is easy … KOBE
2018 Bron clears any version of MJ in existence… The tape won’t lie
More Cavs
Lebron has done enough to be considered top 5 ever. Realistically, another title isn't changing any Jordan or Kobe's fan mind about him being better than them, because he's playing alongside Luka, AND if he doesn't win FMVP it would hurt his GOAT case. Jordan always won FMVP. Luka is a generational player. It would hurt the narrative that, "he's always been the number 1 option on his team", and that would cement Jordan.
