He’s 39! Where was this expectation when Jordan played with the wizards

He always wants to see lebron fail. Am not sure what lebron has done to deserve such animosity from him.

THIS GUY CANT GO A WHOLE DAY WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT LEBRON HE SAYS THE SAMETHINGS EVERY YEAR STAY WOKE PEOPLE

What you’re watching is how the best to ever play ages

Stephen A can’t go a day without these backhanded compliments towards LeBron.

His 39 nobody ever ask Jordan to do that but it’s lebron so they don’t care

Those standings are dated by a few days lol, lakers are now 44 and 33

Michael Jordan played five seasons without Scottie Pippen 84-85 38-44..First round exit 85-86. 30-52..First round exit 86-87. 40-42...First round exit 01-02. 37-45..out of playoffs 02-03. 37-45..out of playoffs Lebron james has won more playoff Series' than any player in NBA HISTORY Lebron james has been to 10 nba finals. Only Bill Russell and Sam Jones (in a mostly nine team league) have made more nba finals appearances LeBron james carried an absolutely horrific 2007 Cleveland Cavaliers team to the nba finals In the modern NBA era (post 1960) only nine NBA top 75 players have won a championship without another top 75 player as a teammate Rick Barry (1975) Bill Walton (1977) Hakeem Olajuwon (1994) Tim Duncan (2005) (2007) Kobe Bryant (2009) (2010) Steph Curry (2015) (2022) LeBron james (2016) Kawhi Leonard (2019) Giannis Antetokounmpo (2021) As you can see, LeBron James is on the list and Michael Jordan isnt Lebron james has won 17 playoff series, without an nba top 75 teammate. Michael Jordan won ZERO In the year before Michael Jordan and LeBron James joined their team and the year after they left their team, their records were 83-84 bulls 27-55 84-85 bulls. 38-44 92-93 bulls 57-25 93-94 bulls 55-27 98-99 bulls 13-37 without Scottie Pippen 00-01 wizards 19-63 01-02 wizards. 37-45 02-03 wizards 37-45 03-04 wizards 25-57 02-03 cavaliers 17-65 03-04 cavaliers 35-47 09-10 cavaliers 61-21 10-11 cavaliers 19-63 09-10 heat. 47-35 10-11 heat 58-24 14-15 heat 37-45 2013-14 cavaliers 33-49 2014-15 cavaliers 53-29 2017- 18 cavaliers 50-32 2018-19 cavaliers 19-63 2017-18 lakers. 35-47 2018-19 lakers were 20-14 when LeBron James got injured on Christmas day. As you can see When LeBron James joins a team, the team improves more than Michael Jordan and when LeBron James leaves a team, the team always goes into the tank. Michael Jordan, excluding the 94-97 seasons, when the NBA moved the three point line to 22 feet, was a career 28% three point shooter. LeBron James is a career 34% three point shooter Michael Jordan was a great defensive player, in an Era where you could handcheck. Playing defense is much easier when you can handcheck. For nearly 6'9 250 LeBron James' entire career he wasn't afforded the opportunity to handcheck. THE EVIDENCE IS CLEAR..LEBRON JAMES IS THE GOAT!!!!! I have added a Postscript So many have replied, that LeBron james didn't make the playoffs his first two years and Jordan did. What they fail to say is, in 1985, 16 of 23 teams made the playoffs. In 2004, 16 of 29 teams made the playoffs. It was MUCH EASIER to make the playoffs in 1985, as opposed to 2004. Perfect example is, the 1985 86 bulls went 30-52 and made the playoffs and the 2004 05 cavaliers went 42-40 and did not make the playoffs. Also, I don't know, possibly, maybe, Jordan had a HUGE ADVANTAGE considering he played three years of college basketball and LeBron James was 19 years old, and straight out of high school

We gotta clinch against the warriors by the time the play in starts

☀️You are my sun shine my only sunshine you make me happy when skies are grey you’ll never know dear just how much i love you please don’t take my sunshine away ☀️

Idk when SAS started this lebron hate but it definitely wasn’t like this before unc got to espn.

None of those teams he mentioned has won a ring, besides Denver and Dallas hasn’t won in 13 seasons.

Man…..it’s crazy but I can assure you, if LeBron SOMEHOW wins another championship it will personally destroy so many people/fans. It may be worse for them than the 2016 win.

What were the expectations for those Lakers teams in Kobes last years?

He’s just better than everyone!

I remember when SAS used to like LeBron. He’s spent the better part of the last 5 yrs hating on him. It’s not very impressive

Y'all act like getting to 10 finals is easy that man took that sorry as cavs team to the finals at 21-22 years old by beating the defending champs to do it and the dude came straight out of highschool so what real coaching did he have while Jordan was coached by the greatest college coach and the greatest pro coach y'all be talking crazy sometimes

The picture they chose to use at the 2:51 mark has me rolling.

Stephen a is the new skip

Goat James

SAS the drama queen.

lakers are in position to be better next year tbh. They'll have 3 first round picks and a bunch of expiring contracts. Every year the past 5 years we've said lebron is going to get worse, but outside of injury the decline has been so miniscule. At worst he's still a top 4-10 player, I don't think that's changing next year. With him & AD and some roster retooling the Lakers are still in good position after this year.

The LeGlazers are in an uproar right now. Hilarious.😂

Doesn't matter how much he scores, he needs to bring the championship trophy this year. NO excuse!

* In my RDC World voice * "I'M 39!!!!!!!!!" 😂😂😂😂😂

In courts of hardwood, where legends tread, A titan strides, with ball and might led. His name, a beacon, in the realm of game, LeBron James, crowned in eternal flame. With sinews of steel, and eyes that gleam, He weaves through rivals like a lucid dream. Each dribble a dance, each pass a song, In his presence, the crowd can't help but throng. From Cleveland's shores to Miami's heat, His prowess spans, no challenge can defeat. In Lakers' gold, a new chapter's writ, A saga of greatness, never to quit. But 'tis not just points that make him grand, It's the heart of a king, in every stand. For he uplifts his team, ignites their fire, Guiding them higher, ever higher. In echoes of cheers, his legacy's cast, A titan of sport, from present to past. In every court, his legend glows, LeBron James, the eternal prose.

Do u except this show to be canceled? I DO!!!

I know with 100% certainty that SAS has said the same thing about Lebron for the past two or three years about “this being Lebrons last chance” and Lebron keeps proving him wrong. He wasn’t supposed to look better than last year and he comes back this year with his best 3p% in his career with the same efficiency he typically has overall. Now eventually u have to be right one year but I find it funny the same headlines are said every year about this man and he continues to prove yall wrong

I do.

I do!!!

Yes it is

DUH, that’s every year since he joined my Lakers. Stop it

LeBron's time is referee's extra pay😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Darvin Ham is actively ruining LeBron’s legacy

Didn't we make it to the western conference finals last year

Is he gonna say this every year lol 😂

What good does all this scoring do if it doesn’t lead to wins or championships ?

SAS so he gives a chance to the Warriors but not the Lakers, aight ima head out.

Man please....SAS stay trying to apply pressure on Lebron's career. As long as Lebron is healthy his teams will have a chance. He's that good, & has proven it time & time again. SAS was saying this same thing like 5yrs ago...smh, like a broken record.

it's his last dance unless lakers trade him to the warriors for kuminga+ 4 1st picks...

I agree but Suns would have to lose several games & Lakers would need to win the rest of games left to make it to playoffs

The lakers have too much talent on that bench.. they could win games without lebron .

Lebron to nuggets for a few mill would be amazing. Just saying, he fits that squad like a glove. Even if he went to Celtics for Jaylen brown

This take is a bit of a stretch cuz it rides the premise of Lebron's future performance which we don't know for sure, and AD's reliability going forward as well

Bruh really got dumped by skip and stole his whole flow

He need to retire already.. he not catching 6 even if he play 10 more years lol

How to block Stephen 😂😂😂😂😂😂joke

This is Lebron’s last season to get another chip. If he don’t get one this year he might as well retire. Yes this is the last dance and yes I want to watch Bron play forever but I know the reality is he’s at the end.

Sorry Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan fans - but LeBron James is officially the greatest scorer in NBA history. LeBron has always been seen as an all-around player, but with him passing 40,000 points in his career, you can't deny he's the greatest scorer in NBA history. LeBron already became the NBA’s all-time leading scorer in February 2023, and he hasn’t shown signs of slowing down. James has been averaging 25 points per game in 2023 to 24, his 20th straight year of averaging more than 25 points per game, and 9 seasons longer than the next closest streak. LeBron has also scored 10 or more points in the regular season an unprecedented 1,216 straight times. And get this: LeBron’s 10 plus point streak is so long that it's longer than Shaquille O' Neal's entire NBA career. And the last time LeBron didn't score 10 points was before the very first iPhone was announced. With LeBron still going strong at 39 years old, he'll keep raising the NBA all-time scoring record to unreachable heights and cement his place forever as the NBA’s greatest scorer.

Only stable teams for next 3 years in western conference : OKC>DENVER>KINGS>WOLVES>ROCKETS. Rest of the teams like suns, clippers, lakers, mavericks are not gonna be same

If he misses the playoffs, I think he retires after this season.

The sooner the better, See Ya !

Lebron championed the NBA to the lowest ratings in a decade! GOAT!!!

CORRECTION IF AD PLAYS THE REST OF GAMES HE WILL HAVE PLAYED 77 GAMES🎉🎉

To summarize this, Stephen A: "My real issue with Lebron James is he's still good that people start to think he's the GOAT."

He act like this was a bold take. When wasnt Lebron went for it. Last playoffs he played on one foot the whole time plus no one told DLo to only avg 6 pts in the West Finals. Do yall know what the Lakers per game loss margin was in that 4 game sweep. It was exactly 6pts a game. Which mean if D'Lame scored at 12 pts the Lakers would have not gotten swept. Talking about this his Last Chance no it aint and if he ends up with 4 rings so what but the one thing we know every year he brings it and this year unlike last year he is healthy let get Vando back and see if D'Lo doesnt vanish again. Remember said the Lakers would not make the play in last year let alone make it to the West Finals

My Bratha

How is this guy still on air with all the non sense coming out of his mouth…the guy is just trolling and has a personal grudge.Get a pro on this desk

👑 🐐

paul George , harden n kaw are not lebron or curry they can have a big 3 and still have trouble winning games. give lebron curry or luka or kyrie thats a championship hands down

This is an attempt to stand out and/or create buzz because of the podcast boom happening now. Frankly, I thought Stephen A was better than this.

Why this dude always mad ?

Sometimes Stephen A is a certified LeBron hater 👍 He's doing it by being credible as possible 👌 then most creep believe in him then what do we see a bunch of clowns 🤡 gathering 😂😂😂

Leflop needs to put those steroids down.

SAS putting his show in espn because he can't do numbers on his own platform like Shannon 🤣🤣🤣... he finally realizing all that shucking and driving cost him hundreds of Millions of dollars being an entrepreneur because he couldn't see the foresight that being on your own can make you more money if you have your own audience rather than doing everything your bosses tell you to do even if you know it is morally wrong

Keep yapping SAS.

He talks more down on LeBron, then he praises him. SMH hater!

Yeah he hella old. Thats ok bro

and hes still struggling to make the playoffs

Shut up Stephen

He talking like bron's young & in his prime.Stop it.We know like all sports its rigged & pre-determine who they want 2 win.Screw who wins let's just enjoy lebron while we have him💪🏿🕎💪🏿👑

If LeBron wants one more title, Lakers are going to make serious moves. Coming from a LeBron fan I have to admit he had a lot of opportunities to win a couple titles 2011 2014 2015 but for me personally, I feel like he should’ve won in 2014 it was no excuse he should have at least five rings for retires.

Stephen A talks directly to MJ and has even said so on air. His takes are irrelevant when it comes to LeBron. He’s biased and has an agenda to push.

Steven a you a hater I lost all respect for you

Yeah, but he only has four championships stop 🛑 😂

I hate the Lakers. But I still have them going to the WCF.

Stephen A Smith has a dusty crystal ball and got a message from wherever he gets them, supremely irritating to trash a man that he could not measure up to in a million years, a young 39-year-old billionaire, heck of a basketball player still at 39, records through the roof, I think he needs to tone it down. His opinion does not really matter. LeBron could care less about what he says. This man has proven his worth and he is trashing an organization with 17 championships, global, and what has he to show for his existence except trying to be a know-it-all funny man on First Take and whatever podcast he is doing now. Shannon Sharpe is a pleasure to listen to.

Bro sounds like a straight up hater by now. You been saying the same about Lebron even prior their 2019 championship with Lakers. Yet LeBron proved you wrong 4 years straight after you came up with that nonsense.

Go already he’s a drama queen

Stephen A. is jealous of Lebrons new podcast this man is a real live snake. Lebron never acknowledged him and never will.

First

He better hope his movie doesn't break the headlines before June. #PDiddyProductions #SAVETHECHILDREN

jesus christ is coming repent so you can be safe

Lakers are trash man since the 2020 bubble championship they looooked worse than ever before

i would trade lbj for Kuminga+2 1st picks +Brandin Podziemski + wiggins and AD for draft picks and just rebuild with AR.

Lebron can do whatever he wants. He will still never be as good as Jordan was.

20 something years in the NBA and only 4 Championships? That's not a goat

I do!

LeBron James is NOT winning anymore championships in LA. LeBron James will retire in year 23 just like his jersey because he is calculated in that way. LeBron James will retire with a LOSING FINALS RECORD and it's nothing he or these silly fanboys or nba can do about it.

Goatyyy
