He talks about the Lakers not being a championship team, but he’s the one in pre game making the team do orchestrated viral videos. Maybe he could try a pre game speech on effort. Sure do miss Kobe..
If bron goes they may get first round pick later on
Every year the same ish!!! LeBron needs help!!! Yeah,yeah,yeah!!!
Listening to perk talk is a struggle
LeReal
Jake missed 3 wide open shots in a row during crunch time. That's why we lost.
Hard to get better when sn below average player is making $50 million a year. LeBron teams always need help
LeBron can’t lol
a 55 million $ senior citizen still complaining about the others maybe try a mirror
The problem is we got Luka and ar hiding behind bron and bron hiding behind ayton and everybody end up looking at each other 😂
Lakers and cowboys dam all they talk about 2 of the most irrelvant times in sports
Dude doesn't get back on defense but whatever
I watched the nuggets vs cavs game last night. I kind u not Joker effort on defense was so bad i thought it was A.I.. somehow he can get away with being trash on defense but Lebron at 87 STILL HAS TO BE A LOCK DOWN DEFENDER. Smh i wonder why
Pay attention all the good teams are full court pressing luka and Reaves its literally running these guys out of gas they full court press them the entire night. Reaves was getting ripped all night long during into easy layups. Spurs and especially castle about to do the same thing tonight .. JJ put somebody else at point and start jaxson hayes ayton just there for a paycheck he dont care about winning
I hope “we” means “as well as myself”.
Stephan A I use to love you man. You a sucker , get off Lebum nuts. You don’t disrespect Shay like Molly. Sad
Oh stop the BS…this team is stuck in neutral for many reasons…they traded all that for Davis who plays geeat in stretches, traded for Russ for what? Instead of building like okc they been doing all this nonsense trying to keep lebron happy or whatever…okc got a young star and they keep adding pieces.
But LeBron miss the game tying 3 so he should STFU
How can you get bruiser if Luka and LeBron changes game is driving to the basket and kicking out. You got Luka ball hogging most of the time.
Talking about effort from a guy who doesn't give max effort is bs! GET HIM OUTTA THERE!!!!
Stephen relax lol Darvin did a great job but he had AD not Luka !!! don't forget all the facts when its beneficial for you !!!
They’re a championship team because they have great leadership. There’s nothing special about OKCs roster. Lakers have poor leadership
"Shots were fired". At this point Lebron is shooting himself with this kind of topic……
The lakers just got the trash center DA this guy not even the CBA wants him 😂
Also that fraud just exposed hisself he just said the same thing his agent Richie P said a few weeks ago lol they claimed they haven’t spoken about it tho huh 🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢
BRON NEEDS TO SHUT UP HE CANT EVEN BE CONSISTANT ON FREE THROWS, I DONT WANT HIM BACK FOR ANOTHER YEAR!
OKC Has Better Players! Nuff said!!
Considering the injuries the Lakers have had to their best players and not being very deep, they are actually doing fine. Their biggest need is a gm that knows how to put together a balanced roster
LeBron days are over and the lakers want him gone 😢
Gotta stop putting this man above kobe. That simple
Get perk off this program man! He just be talking out the side of his ear! We do not be getting cooked everytime we play the spurs buddy! Currently we are 1-1 against the spurs and Luka is undefeated against wemby I have no clue where you’re getting your info from smh…
LeBron is a sore loser.
He's a straight shooter when they lose and when they win, there's a lot more information, pouring out of that mouth.
Bro just go back to Cleveland and retire. Honestly be the best decision he'll probably make. Why would you want to retire with a team that will never embrace him like they did Kobe?
I'd rather go back to where I was drafted and I was the first player ever to win that organization a championship.
They rely on Luka for everything … Except defense.
While LeBron isn’t blameless and it’s kinda funny hearing him say this. He’s not entirely wrong either. And I find it funny some of you are so quick to hop on Bron but are silent with Reaves and Luka. When they are visually and statistically worse defenders. I get it you hate LeBron. Nothing new there but be consistent.
Ayton is the worst player ever. Soft and trash
LeBron can’t sustain the energy .
Rui been there too long, Gabe has never been good, Smart not good either. No depth for the Lakers. And singing Luke they don't want to win, wasting picks on players in the first round that can't see the floor.
Ngl I think Bron is the PROBLEM…
Lakers had years to get some big wings and real defensive players. Rob keeps picking up offensive minded players.
7:30 🤣🤣🤣 perk hell no
lebron hasn't played defense since 2018.
This gotta be Perks best take ever 😂. Spot on
He should take his own message. He cannot play more the. 15min at a hi level
