jimmy, jimmy – here's the big question: how much WINNING did all those players do post-Lebron? i'm looking at that list at 7:53 – and the only player to make any noise whatsoever post-Lebron is Kyrie Irving – who has much more failure than success since leaving Cleveland.
A graph showing us the winning percentage of teammates before, during, and after Lebron would have been a better indication on his impact. Luka's numbers are down because he's not shooting well, and they're letting him run the offense now. But he no longer needs to score 30 to win, which is something that might help him win his first championship.
An important point to me about Luka's impact on Lakers, it is that he is making Lebron to play better, as soon as Luka gets a better 3 point percentage his stats will raise, and all of this without a decent center around, it seems miraculous they are winning so much, they should only improve in the future.
i think they are to smiliar in my opinion so is a bit hard to adjust and also is not only lebron he have to share the ball also with austin reeves who has been playing amazing for quite some time
Then you look at Toni Kukoc and his best scoring seasons were 95 and 99. Wow. Just the 2 seasons MJ left the team. And Scottie Pippen's best years were 94-95… how funny. And Horace Grant was 94 It is almost as if not having a player better than you on the court take shots away… maybe that is the case for every single all time player. How many scoring titles did Durant win with Steph?? Zero. Ohhhh. He got "worse" with Steph? Stop it. Such a silly video. Lebron got a lot of guys paid. Including undrafted ones. He makes his teamates better. That doesnt have to reflect in their numbers.
Luka is coming off an injury both physically and mentally. Imagine being hurt for over a month and you get back on the court in a brand new city with a brand new coach and an entirely new team.
I'm just gonna say this on the Kevin Love aspect.. Did his numbers, impact, and responsibilities drop when he started playing with LeBron? Yes. But his success rate drastically increased. I'd love to see his playoff minutes played with and without LeBron.
A lot of dudes can put up numbers on bad/inefficient teams.. Not so easy to be that dude on a title contender
Demar Derozen has done this to the kings. He runs that team now at a lower capacity than lebron obviously but very similar style of player runnable the team. It definitely deserves a conversation.
Jimmy, a good player analysis to go back and watch would be Antwan Jameson. He got traded to the cavs right before LeBron left for Miami. I remember him turning into an absolute dog with young Bron. Bron would drive the lane and Jameson would have open 3 points and mid range looks. He was a low ego player who adjusted very well to being a No. 2 option.
If I remember correctly Antwan has more points than anybody Not in the Hall of Fame. He was insanely solid on the offensive end. I honestly think he got better with LeBron than Chris Bosh did because he spaced the floor.
Somehow Luka, who most of his shots are self created, is playing bad and missing all those contested step back 3’s cause of lebron?
Most of the guys on the usage screen that played worse were guys who either went from being the 1 option on their team to the 2nd or 3rd option after teaming up with bron and another star(cause that’s what happens when you team up with stars. Love and Bosh were the lesser to Bron and Wade/Kyrie.) or guys past their prime(Russ, ray, rondo, green, Dwight).
You forgot something in your analysis, some of those players who were better before Lebron were doing good in some losing franchise (Bosh, Love…). For example, the suns Bradley Beal is different than the wizards's one. He has two teammates whose games are similar to his. Being part of a big three is a different debate. Sacrifices has to be made for it to work out. Steph had to make sacrifice for KD so Warriors chemistry can work out. It will work out effortlessly if the players are different. KD, Kyrie and Harden didn't work bc none of them were willing to make this sacrifice. AD was shining in a NOLA with no ambitions people. I'm not saying Lebron make all his teammates better but I think there are much more factors you and people in the comments don't consider. You guys see things too simple. Lebron is playing more off the ball since Luka is a Laker. What's the issue now? Lebron is too ball dominant? Come on!
those behind the bench tickets are the worst, not only are the players giant but guys like Lebron & Luka sit on booster seats, some of the most expensive tix too.
Your analysis is spot on. LeBron is the ultimate floor raiser. Between the years of 2007 and 2020, he could of got a squad of bums to the EC Semi's or better. But give him some really solid pieces and that didn't automatically make them Champions… As soon as he leaves, the floor falls out. He made Delonte West, Mo Williams, and Jamario Moon (look him up) look like studs and the next year after LeBron left they couldn't win 10 games. Miami was a lock for the finals every year and then LeBron left and they missed the playoffs and were below 500. LeBron dragged one of the worst rosters of all time to the finals in 2018. The next season without him, they won 19 games. However, the Lakers will be fine when LeBron retires because Luka is already that good that he will also raise the floor assuming he stays healthy.
I think Tim Duncan was another Floor raiser but in a totally different way. Made the playoffs every single year, most of which was when the West was at its absolute toughest. Made his teammates better. Always did enough without ever doing too much. Was pretty much the glue for the entire organization. Incredible on the defensive end of the floor. He wasn't as flashy or as talked about but that doesn't really matter because he won games.
What a waste of time. Stats dont really justify this.
Ofc one team shares one ball. Cant expect theyd be as good before playin with LBJ.
Luka will be fine. Guards tend to adjust longer after being trade in the midseason compared to bigs.
Theyd have to learn a new system, familiarize teammates, ENTIRE OFFENSES w/c were built in the OFFSEASON w/o prior knowledge that youd be a part of the team
You said it in the 1st minute of your video, Luka is just coming back from an injury that sidelined him since December, Luka is still getting in shape, and more importantly dude is figuring out his new teammates and getting used to a new system.. That's a lot to shoulder..

He is on a shooting slump and when he gets his rythem back they are winning a chip

He couldn't even make his own son better.

Still ready for this MF to retire. Won't miss him at all
Bro is shooting like 20% from the field and wanna blame bron 😂😂 he jus has to hit his normal shots they’re playing great

Fast forward 18 years and he’s still really good is a wild sentence hahaha
Don’t pmo with this title 🤣,Luka is just not HIM

Luka is making Lebron better
i think they are to smiliar in my opinion so is a bit hard to adjust and also is not only lebron he have to share the ball also with austin reeves who has been playing amazing for quite some time
Yes, Luca and Lebron sucks soo bad that they have won 6 in a row.
Lakers will win the west
Then get swept by Boston
And I’m a lakers fan
Then you look at Toni Kukoc and his best scoring seasons were 95 and 99. Wow. Just the 2 seasons MJ left the team. And Scottie Pippen's best years were 94-95… how funny. And Horace Grant was 94

I think Luka is making LeBron better,but Luka will be back to normal.
Luka is coming off an injury both physically and mentally. Imagine being hurt for over a month and you get back on the court in a brand new city with a brand new coach and an entirely new team.
Yeah I'll struggle too.
I'm just gonna say this on the Kevin Love aspect.. Did his numbers, impact, and responsibilities drop when he started playing with LeBron? Yes. But his success rate drastically increased. I'd love to see his playoff minutes played with and without LeBron.

Does LeBron make his teammates better what world do we live in
so basically people on twitter is saying its lebrons fault that luka is shooting poorly.
Demar Derozen has done this to the kings. He runs that team now at a lower capacity than lebron obviously but very similar style of player runnable the team. It definitely deserves a conversation.
Luka can’t shoot yea let’s blame Lebron wtf

KD joined the warriors and saw a 3ppg decrease, but became part of the best team of all time.
Man, shut up Jimmy. Watch the games bro. I remember when you used to have good content…oh wait, I don't.
Would Kyrie, AD or CB4 have ever won chips without Bron?
This clickbait title is disgusting and unnecessary
Some fans shouldn’t be aloud to have an opinion

Lmao this video is stupid, they are winning, this video is pointless
What a waste of time. Stats dont really justify this.
Ofc one team shares one ball. Cant expect theyd be as good before playin with LBJ.
Luka will be fine. Guards tend to adjust longer after being trade in the midseason compared to bigs.
Theyd have to learn a new system, familiarize teammates, ENTIRE OFFENSES w/c were built in the OFFSEASON w/o prior knowledge that youd be a part of the team
That's like saying Pippen was making Jordan worse after Jordan just returned from baseball 😂
The title gave me goosebumps
Yall love hating this man I stg
You said it in the 1st minute of your video, Luka is just coming back from an injury that sidelined him since December, Luka is still getting in shape, and more importantly dude is figuring out his new teammates and getting used to a new system.. That's a lot to shoulder..
