  1. THESE CLOWNS ARE TRYING TO COMPARE THIS BUST TO MAJIC JOHNSON AND LARRY BIRD AND MICHAEL JORDAN AND CHARLES BARKLEY AND KAREEM ABDUL JABBAR !!!??!? THIS BULLSH_T IS ASININE!!!?!? AFTER LOSING IN THE FINALS AND COMING BACK OUT OF PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL SHAPE IS OK FOR ONLY LUBBA DUBBA DUMBCHEK!!!??!?!?! GIMME A BREAK. HOW ABOUT ALL THE REAL STAR BASKETBALL PLAYERS THAT PLAYED IN THE OLYMPICS!?!!??

  2. Get ready for some really slow games for the Lakers. With Luka and LeBron the games will be watching free throws as the 2 biggest whiners in the NBA scream “foul “. The refs will give them every call.

  3. if LeBron went to New York and won the Knicks their first title in decades and then retired with 5 rings for 4 different franchises all of which came in different eras of not only basketball but different versions of LeBron. A lot of people would have a hard time not calling him the goat. to bring the Knicks a chip is one thing to do it at 40-something with all the miles he has. it would be legendary. but seeing LeBron in a knicks jersey looks so bad

  4. i can't believe the media is running with this conditioning narrative lol dude requested this trade.

  5. 9:46 i agree. AD is not that guy. he was when he first came to the lakers, and lead the team in everything, and should've won mvp and dpoy, but ever since that championship, that AD has been missing in action.

  6. Imagine this for a moment…….. Chiefs trading 15 because he is out of shape………. f%ck!!!! I am sorry for Luka and I hope he can get over it for the best. Anyway, Luka can go back to Europe as Caitlin Clark just did.

  7. 4:57 Luka did not play in the Olympics, he did play a few games in the summer to qualify for the Olympics but Slovenia lost to Greece

  8. WAIT 😂 LeBron didn't play defense 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Hilariously nonsensical and unqualified, the evidence is clear. Mans blocked Centres…. STOP 😂😂😂

  9. Lukas rebounds, steals and blocks don’t count? Oh, let’s not forget about assists and points. People/critics are so dumb.

  10. Lakers accepting the deal doesn’t mean they want to experiment with Luka and LeBron it means they’re ready to get out of the LeBron business and move on with Luka and mavs wanting to pair AD with Kyrie they’re hoping they stay healthy and make a good playoff push.

  11. Luka isn't even bad defensively. There was a clear coaching decision to have them funnel the Celtics to the rim because they believed in their bigs and probably wanted to run them off the three point line. The reason they lost the finals is because Mavs offense struggled and their bigs couldnt stop the drives to the rim. Look at Luka in isolation, he led in OPFG% against him in isolation. Is he ever going to be a lockdown? No. But a defensive liability? Be serious.

  12. Kyrie leaves this off-season, AD sidelined, Mavs owner rancid adelson has them tank since her fraud/bribes aren't working to legalize casino gambling then tels TX legisl in '27 that the team is not financially viable in TX then relocates franchise to vegas.

  13. This man Nick wright just said basically people that don't agree with him about LeBron ain't smart I wish I could be in a room with Nick wright

  14. This was 100% personal…They treated him like he was Zion at age 29. He's too young and successful for it to be anything else.

  15. I think it's a start for the league to take it back over. It is too much of a players diva league. Half the stuff that players get away with in the NBA would absolutely not fly in the NFL.

  16. The reason for this top secrecy is because the NBA wanted this to happen, Why? Simple, they are trying to push Wimby up to super star status and for there to be 2 power houses in Texas would not be good for the organization bottom line, MONEY.

    Bottom line is the new owner, a Vegas built big man, wants to bring the mavs to Vegas. Because he couldn't get gambling into Texas. NIco built his team to win and it was going very well, but now the directive is to dismantle the team. Look they traded Kyries close friend in this trade to LA, i think it was morris. Easier to move a team when it's fan base is low. Plus the money they save can go into building a new stadium.

  17. You seriously going to compare LeBron’s D as a rookie with whatever Luca is doing 😂?

  18. Didn't Brunson put up 40 when Luka was on the bench in the playoffs? That's not getting there with nothing.

  19. All the media heads are saying the Lakers aren't contenders because of the defensive liability and Luka injury. Makes perfect sense but the NBA championship odds and Vegas moved the Lakers from 13th to 5th after this trade? Make that make sense?

  20. How sad is it that the fake goat can even assemble his own teams and still has more losses than wins in the finals and can't even touch Jordan

  21. "bird didnt play defense. Magic didnt play defense." nick you have no idea wtf you're talking about
    Probably because you had 7 lines of coke before the cameras started rolling. "AND THERES A STEAL BY BIRD"

  22. Lebron delverd championship to the Lakers 😂😂😂😂 the bubble one! If we count this as a chip! AD was the guy!

  23. This is just the greatest trio and the greatest show of all time. I hope it never ends. I do not want anyone to seperate like Skip and Shannon did and have after subpar shows. 🙁

  24. Im sorry, bro.But leading the league in steals doesn't make you a great defender, that's a terrible take!!!

  25. I want Chris and nick break down the dollar amounts. What exactly does LeBron spend on his body? Food, medicine? Trainers?equipment? Break it down.
