Rick knows hate brings engagement
Exactly why they took Rick off “the facility”
Why is it so hard to defend the speedy small guards? Just don’t let that small guard drive into the paint easily. There’s way to do that. Play Piston ball.
Slithering Slic Ric…comparing LeBron to Porzingis has to be rage bait
Skip returns
Stop hating Rick
if lebron plays like this in april-may, they'll be playing in june
WHY IS RIC BUCHER ON TV, HE IS A KNOWN LEBRON HATER!
Slick a hater!!!!! That dude gotta live up to a standard
The Silver cash effect
LeBron James is a first class idiot and a terrible father!
You may be able to boss around Jeanie Buss to get a job that your brick shooting scrubs son doesn't deserve half. But you cannot protect him from Sports analysts who tell the truth about the situation that your son simply is a scrub and can't shoot and shouldn't be playing in the NBA. He's an absolute terrible father!
Is it just me or they beefing?
Did he say that Lebron is just Porzingis? Smh
Ric tried to prop up porzingas for the celtics championship. Porzingas was hurt the majority of the playoffs and paul/key told him that!
This show is really good frfr!
IT'S THE LEBRON EFFECT! EVERY TEAM LEBRON GOES TO WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS! LEBRON EFFECTS THAT ALL DAY!
Say Austin didn’t have a bad game 😂 I hate what if’s 😂 what’s up with Rick
Pierce a lbj hater but scared to stand on biz
Already trying to diminish when just won player of the month over shai and jokic. Jesus christ, these guys are a joke. I wonder if they are aware of it.
"Im not trying to discredit anybody" – spends the entire segment dimisnishing lebron and immediately gets upset when lebron gets credited. Rick is a clown. Him, stephen a and skip are exactly what lebron was referring to. Just trash.
If you hating on lebron you gonna watch your show
Ric is worse than listening to Skip Bayless when covering LeBron.
Let me clarify this now… so everyone knows I'm saying this in March 2025 (and no the NBA isn't rigged if it happens how I say it, it just is what it is)… the Lakers have won the NBA title the following year that the Celtics won it all the last 4 times…
81, 84, 86, 08, 24…
82, 85, 87, 09,… 25?
This will be the 5th time in a row…. Lakers in 5…. in '25!
History repeats itself if Lakers win it all. 😁
I've said tht – the new but old Skip
So y’all got rid of Joy???
MJ lovers are so insecure! It’s crazy. They cant disassociate they’re fandom from any racional thinking. This guy is supposed to be a sports expert. I mean please. Im so tired of this kind of hearing this so called expert. Laughable and tragic
Rick Bayless
They were missing Rui & Reaves shot just 2 for 13 in his first game back from injury lol ….. & STILL beat another playoff team.
Lebron had 31 points/12 rebounds /8 assists/1 block ….. made clutch plays at the end of the 4th (hit a 3 with 1:50 left then pulled in the defense & kicked out to Gabe for an open 3 with 1:35 left)….. then hit 4 clutch FTs at the end of OT …… then on top of that he took KAT on defense & held him to 3 for 13 shooting (23%) 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
How can u be a true bball fan & not enjoy this & be thankful u got to witness it. Magics my favorite all time great & i hate i didnt grt ti watch him play live when im an adult.
Hes wrong that Lebron doesnt have to put in as much….. he doesnt have to put in as much on OFFENSE. But hes still giving them 27/9/6 (his avgs since the trade…. outdoing Luka in PPG/RPG/BPG whipe outshooting him 52% to 40% including 39% from 3 compared to 30% for Luka) PLUS lockdown defense (just held KAT to 2 for 13 shooting lol)
KAT is great, he has yet to be consistently good against good teams. He came into the league as a great player. I wanna see him evolve and be as good as he can be. I wanna see him be great.
Skip Bayless: Being a LeBron hater pays 💴💰🤑. You’re a good 👍🏼 student Rick
Where's the Ladies at
I don’t get it. What’s so great about LeBron? He’s not even a must-see/watch player.
Stop with the LeBron effect BS. There is no LeBron effect. Only ONE time did he ever finish above the play in game since he’s been there. This is the Luka effect
Can someone get bucher off this mf show. Plz !? Lbs
