​@TomCruz54321Joakim Noah is literally the definition of a Lebron hater and he admits it himself that its because the bulls simply cant beat him and has literally stopped anyone from the east from getting their shot at the championship. And seriously bringing up Dillon Brooks who only got good when Lebron was like 36? and we all know how that ended up right? Bron was literally called King of the east BECAUSE they feared him. No one was getting past Miami or Cleveland in the playoffs. Also, have you seen players reactions to Lebron running down the court when going for a dunk or a chase down?

W comment

You do realize there was a reason that teams like the Pistons beat up Jordan and made rules especially designed to target a player like him (the Jordan Rules)... Right? Because he was dominate and they knew exactly what they needed to do to stop him. There are elements of fear/anxiety in that mindset when teams have to tailor make gameplans and basically go WWE on a player on the court. In retrospect, the way teams beat Lebron in today's game is basically daring him to shoot and not letting him get near the rim. Basic stuff. Go look at what players who played against Jordan have to say about him after they trash talked them and MJ sent them packing. I'm sorry, but people will not talk about Lebron the same way they do about Jordan. He'll be remembered as a great team facilitator who had a really long career and accumulated a lot of stats - he won't be remembered as being as good a winner as MJ.

@@IamMaximumFury So the only thing teams did was dare lbj to shoot ? really ? No special rules, no design gameplay for him ? my brother in christ... The way people talked about jordan ? Did you hear what peolpe say about LBJ even thi he still IN THE LEAGUE ? Even the boston celtics who still hate him to this day ?

@@phillipelicard9081 daring lebron to shoot and not letting him get to the rim is a legitimate way to beat LeBron. He's lost several playoff and finals series to this tactic - hell, he got swept by the Spurs because or it. Why? Because he's not a good shooter - LeBron has something like a 35FG% from shots beyond 0-3 feet from the rim.

@@IamMaximumFury Oh yes ? which one ? The spurs ? i agree, cause they had kawhi and Tim ducan, that kinda help... and if it was that easy, this man would have 0 ring, and Tf IT HAS TO DO WITH THE FEAR ? If they dont let him go to the basket, isnt that because THEY FEAR him going there ? Make it make sense my brother... plus you act like the jordan rules by the pistons were some deeeeeep advanced strategies. If i remember CORRECTLY it was don't let him go right or to the middle, send him to the help and slam hum down if he goes baseline. How is that different from ANYTHING teams have done to LBJ: dont let him go right and try to make him go left cause he will pull up for a jump shot more likely. in post up zone him up and double if he goes baseline or if he goes middle everyone rotate. It's not just let him shoot... and saying LBJ shoot 35% outside 3 feet is a straight lie my brother, he shoots 35% from 3 alone; stop it....

Yep that’s it

"MJ getting literally choked by an opposing player and not doing a damn thing" Who was this "opposing player"? Reg trashtalked MJ once, and MJ made him regret it.

They all do. Except Nick Wright and Shay

@@Mook05are they supposed to be the voices of reason lol 😂

So where is the bias in these segments. I dont care for Stephen A. that much, but nothing he said was really wrong. MJ definitely had a different aura to him than Lebron did - especially going into the 90's. He was absolutely dominate and took over games and where that aura might not have existed when he played teams like the Pistons in the 80's, there was a reason they developed things like the "Jordan Rules" and why guys like Bird called him a virtual God in the NBA world. Go look at what players who played against Jordna have to say about him after they trash talked them and MJ sent them packing. Lebron RARELY gets that man. Mainly because he has a different mindset, isn't as dominate a player (when looking at game to game dominance), and doesn't win as much.

@@IamMaximumFury it’s because they didn’t see it tbh they watched clips on KZfaq and they think they know what’s up. Context doesn’t matter to lebrons generation of fans. They are quick to dismiss the past.

This is why MJ was rated so highly, and why now Lebron is Everyone just praises who they grew up watching Can’t take any media seriously

@@mikem4481 doesn’t take a genius to be smarter than screaming A

Agree, and the same reason that JJ is no longer a guest at first take

I wonder if JJ is slowly and consciously taking down ESPN. Stephen A is vindictive, insecure, volatile, and ultimately no more knowledgeable than your average teenage sports fanatic. I would love to see Stephen A leave ESPN in disgrace, so I would encourage JJ to keep making him look stupid. Stephen A’s suit and TV persona don’t make home a role model. He is petty and slippery to a degree that makes Skip Bayless seem honest and honorable. JJ doesn’t have some secret code to outdebate Stephen A. He’s simply stating pretty well known facts about the history of the game.

@@catharticwicks I stopped watching First Take as soon as Skip left! I don’t like the way Skip handled things with Shannon, but people make mistakes. But what a lot of people don’t know is Skip left ESPN pissed off! All he wanted was Stephen A to show up more live and in person and on time. But Stephen A wanting to be at every big NBA game so he can suck up to all the big name stars, which was smart on his behalf because all those contacts landed him a huge deal while not even living up to his current contract. Which was like I said, to be back in time since the company was flying him private, to be on the set of First Take. Skip was showing up 5-6 in the morning coming up with all the talking points of the show and getting no help from Stephen A. and then they still give him a large contract? It’s actually sad because Stephen A will fully admit he wouldn’t have even got his chance if it wasn’t for Skip getting him his big shot on air. But first chance he got to take Skip down a peg, he jumped all over the Shannon Sharpe situation and got Shannon to go to ESPN because Stephen A knew the show was failing and people were turning on him the more they found out about what he did to Max!

@@edwardnigma4087 All Stephen A needed to say when questioned about Max’s departure was that he wanted to go in a different direction. That their working relationship had become contentious. Something like that. Instead, Stephen A described Max as boring and inexperienced in athletics and journalism. I watched Stephen A and Kendrick Perkins, in particular, treat Max like he was an idiot. I, like many others, respect Stephen A’s hustle. I don’t respect his knowledge of sports, nor his character. As a boy who loved football, basketball and baseball, I’ve listened to sports talks shows for a while. It’s a shame to see the kind of discourse that influences upcoming generations. It’s no exaggeration, kids learn and repeat what they hear, and in turn, show disrespect and bad sportsmanship toward one another. Troll culture is hilarious sometimes, but some of these hosts go out of their way to make unsubstantiated claims about a player’s character.

@@jasonoyola590 Yeah we're from that era so we also know those things came and went vs if something happens 5 minutes from now, it would flood the entire internet. So many things from that era most people can't remember and it could be things that were crazy like Charles Barkley spitting on a little girl, now imagine if KD, LeBron or someone from this era would've did the same thing😂What about Karl Malones past, look how it's somewhat under the radar, now if that was a player today, that's all they'd literally be associated with.
