  1. Too much disrespect from that woman… Lebron still putting up good numbers and Lakers just need a good 3 D guy for the perimeter and they good .
    However no way you can say once you getting paid you suppose to win or go a finals the why don’t half the other players don’t do it then

  2. Idk who needs to hear this but LeBron is WAAAY past his prime. The Lakers are the ones being wasted trying to cater to a 40+ year old athlete that only plays one side of the ball and ruins team chemistry

  3. That question no longer valid — Bron is good but he dont have same impact on winning by far, .. gotta stop with these same narratives

  4. The Lakers are in a better position, stop being dumb lol they have a 26yr old leading the league in scoring… next year when they build around them yall will be saying something different

  5. They sound like they working for network😂 Sooo having the best roster 5 of the 7 years don’t mean nothing. The East was weak all three of them know firsthand smh

  6. What damn joke of a show and topic. A 41 year old LBJ smh. If anything they are wasting Luka’s time. LeBron is done after this season, Lakers didn’t offer him a contract extension past this year. Stop the BS. The Lakers aren’t going to get better until they get rid of LBJ. Same old blame everyone else but LBJ, they have lowered the standards for LBJ. They don’t blame LBJ for any team failure but they wanna give him all the credit if they were to be successful, clown shit. Beale is the only on keeping real and not with the BS.

  7. Chandler is a little too nice. Would like to see him be a little less careful with his words and speak up more.

  8. This season is not meant to compete for a title! The lakers won’t make moves until Queen James is gone which he’s in his last few months remaining! It’s obvious why the new laker owners didn’t offer the Queen an extension that alone speaks volumes cause they will have the cap space to add better talent next year to help Luka and Reeves moving forward, the future looks brighter for laker fans!!! 🙌

  9. Every year I hear the same excuse, “They need some help”! How about they need a better COACH. Defense is effort so no excuses.

  10. This guys are a bunch of luka haters specially that lady comentator that have zero knowledge on basketball why is she even there

  11. HE IS 41 YRS OLD and taking the second most shot 🏀 attempts every single night…….and yet HIS MEDIA is complaining for him. 😮 I'm tired. I just want him gone from the NBA. This after ACTIVELY TAMPERING with his own teammate to be traded via agent because he was threatened by his 27.5 ppg average. He successfully iced him out on the court to get him down to 26.0 ppg before Austin sat down. I'm no genius. No dummy either. Austin sat down to avoid LeBron until he can be traded. Or he will wait it out until free agency and take someone else's money……simply for being sabotaged by a lame duck 🦆 player with no incoming extension from his own team and interest from anyone else.
