Hot take: Jimmy's wife has never had an argument with him, because she is afraid of how many charts he'd present to prove her wrong.

Giannis. That man is so nice I feel like he’d let me win to save my family.

"I miss watching LeBron cook with this weak ass move" lmao so true. That move is awful but it works lol.

Let's be honest, the best chance we all have is to challenge Shaq... to a 3 point contest.

my mom's response to the 1v1 question was "it doesn't say the 1v1 is in basketball - I'll challenge lebron to a bake-off" LMAO

Boban Marjanović is one of the nicest, most wholesome people on Earth. He'll lose on purpose to let my family live. He'll probably score in his own basket to help me.

I once had a friend who hated Lebron bc he quote “ always takes it to the rim and isn’t talented “ but his favorite player was Dwight Howard. I started to get brain cancer trying to explain to him how dumb that is.

“Screw it, they’ll go under you” had me dying

“I’m closer to Lebron James than you are to me” - Brian Scalabrine

Honestly the biggest issue with criticisms toward LeBron is the fact that he's practically a 40-year old man at this point. 2018-2022 LeBron doesn't look like he has a "bag" because he's not the same player he was at 25 or 30 years old. He exerts much less effort nowadays and still manages to average 25+ points. But if you look back at prime LeBron the dude was a menace on the both the offensive and defensive ends

"This guy is going to take your lunch, and watch as you wave your family goodbye!" Oh man, I fucked died. That was too funny.

“sometimes i get happy when a player gets injured” is WILD

That "you don't stumble onto 37 thousand points" had me spitting my food.. Too accurate. 😂

Jimmy, please make a video on the pelicans. What they are doing right now is absurd and deserves more recognition. Love your videos man

My friend in college was always talking shit about pro and college players and how good he is but he didn't get the chance, blah blah blah. Then we scrimmaged against the women's team (D1 top 25) That shut him up for a while.

“I miss watching Lebron cook with his weak ahh move”💀💀

Unfortunately, I have been served a piece of humble pie on this subject. In high school, I was a solid player. 6-1, 220 Lbs, and I scored 22 ppg for my high school my senior year. Unfortunate circumstances led me down a different path in life and basketball was no longer my future. Now, post high school years, I was able to play against some pros and future pros in 5v5 pick up games. Guys like Michael Frazier, Kevin Martin, and Omri Casspi. One day, I was feeling myself and decided to challenge Omri Casspi 1v1. To those who do not know, Omri Casspi was the first Iran player to be drafted in the first round of the NBA. He got paid millions to play this sport that I don’t get paid at all and decided to challenge him…… he cooked me alive. I could not stop the bomb from raining on my head from 3. It was as if he took my challenge personal and decided to give me the biggest piece of humble pie EVER. That day… Omri Casspi was the Iranian Jordan. And he made me realize that even the player on the end of the bench of ANY NBA or even G-League team, will torch any of us average joes that think we can do better. So for all of us, our families are doomed.

I have been watching the hell out of your video bro keep up the good work

The second take is hoy, but you have crushed it, Jxmmy presenting us with the Brian Scalabrine challenge. Where Brian, the White Mamba, owned all challengers, even at a D1 level. That's all she wrote.

Jimmy is easily one of the best creators of the last few years. the detail and insight he brings is unrivaled and I always find myself watching every second of his videos

Jimmy uploading 2 videos in span of 4 days is something that I will cherish in my life

Exactly speak the truth brother

5:53-8:50 I love all your response Man they're so accurate it brought a good laugh.

That "Lebron has no bag" take is wild 😂

Honestly I’m picking steph just so I can meet my favorite player before my whole family dies

Funniest vid in a while jimmy 🤙🏽😅👍

I love the hot take videos jxmmy 🔥🔥

I used to play semi pro around Europe, so I’d say in my day I was a pretty good baller. With that being said one day I played Thanassis Atentokoumbo and he mopped the floor with me wearing converse and swimming trunks 😅

I had the (mis)fortune of playing against d1 college players in mens rec league. Last guy I matched up with was a bottom of the bench player at West Virginia and he completely cooked everyone. There's levels to this that so many folks don't even imagine. Moment of silence for all our families if that situation ever occurred.

If you had to 1v1 hahahha that was hilarious, amazing video as usual!

Its funny how sizing up and taking all the shot clock is a bag nowadays. Bags are supposed to be moves effective enough to get a bucket but now you gotta go between the legs 30 times to have a bag🤣

Speaking as an ex collegiate athlete, and somebody who still competes in paid tournaments, the gap between the lowest of the low, scrub professional athletes, and even people who were good in college is astronomical let alone your uncle

At 5:21 LeBron goes between the double team, and not only puts the ball behind his back, but sends it through his teammate's legs in the process. Super slick.

Hot Take: Despite being a crowd favorite, Austin Reaves is an on-ball defensive liability. He regularly gets exposed by opposing teams guards.

As a longtime Bron hater/fan the “no bag” take is ludicrous because those exact same fans don’t have anywhere near the standard for the “bag” they’re talking about for other similarly sized players. What 6’9 guys besides Magic have ever had the bag Lebron does even if his handles are relatively simple moves. It’s how he uses and combos them combined with the threat of his athleticism that’s genius

Watching this was the most entertaining 15 minutes I've spent online in months. Would 100% watch a show with Jxmy narrating.

It's not just that LeBron has 37k points. It's also that he's top 10 in assists. All time playoff points. Been to the Finals 10x including 8 yrs straight. The most gifted athlete we've seen since Wilt. Better than anyone has ever been at his age. Most seasons in a row averaging 25+.

@jxmyhighroller would you do a comparison video on the role that hand checking played in a players defense, There are many players that played on both sides of the hand checking era, pre and post? How much did an individual players defense suffer? How much could we expect a players defense to improve if transported back in time? Could Lebron have won DPOY? Would jordan have been as good of a defender in todays NBA? etc. there are a lot of fascinating questions that could be asked based on those numbers. You’ve got the the best analytics on you tube; Do your thing.

that "heee heeee" caught me off guard

Jimmy’s posted two bangers in one week. We really need to appreciate how much effort this man puts in his videos.

As an Australian, I had to match up against Grant Williams when he was in high school for an international tour. Dude was the same size he is now, and would either blow by me or just bully me in the post... ain't no way anyone beating him now let alone in high school

I'd love to hear your all time team. The 5 man team you'd pick to save the universe if Thanos decided to snap based on a basketball game lol. Personally I'd go MJ, Lebron, Steph, Duncan, and Hakeem.

I definitely agree regular people can't keep up with NBA players and we got no shot. That being said, I'm giving Chris Chiozza the work every day of the week and twice on sunday

that Kobe tweet at the start is criminal.

i’d 1v1 Steph. I think he’d be nice enough to let me win and keep my family 😂

Playing basketball with non hoopers is the worst, you either get the football player that fouls you all the time, or lazy teammates that only want to do something when they have the ball.

14:07 is just a beautiful clip no matter what team you're a fan of.

the people who said they can beat isaiah thomas or muggsy bogues have never felt the absolute terror when a guy of that size destroys your entire team, guy just dribbles past everybody and for some reason cant get blocked once he gets to the bucket. Plot armour irl

We played a retired euro league guy in college in is 50s with Grey hair and everything. He was not even in the league for 10 plus years and he still embarrassed every average person who tried to gaurd him. He didn't miss a shot all game.

I remember back when I was in high school (2005-2009ish) and as a Raptor fan thought I could beat Jose Calderon 1-on-1 back then. My reasoning was that Jose was short enough for me to defend, was not a particularly quick guard and was very lacking on defence. His offensive game was solid, but he was more of a team-oriented player (and he truly excelled at passing and having few turnovers) as opposed to a good iso scorer. Nowadays I do feel like Jose would've beaten me, but I at least feel like I would have had some sort of shot, maybe somewhere between 0.1% and 10%. :p

Honestly even the last man, with no court time would flame all of us in a 1v1

I love the hot take series, they get more entertaining every time, keep up the good work.

The good answer to the 1v1 question is "whichever NBA player would be nice enough to drop the game in order to save your family". So I would probably go with Giannis, he looks like a good egg. Jordan on the other hand would probably taunt people about the fact that they're going to lose their loved ones.

Great video bro… surprising no one said 1v1 Pat Bev tho!!??

I agree no matter who you choose your gonna lose in a 1v1

The amount of effort put Into this is amazing. You deserve an award. Youa are the GOAT

My hot take for this episode is Paul George for a certain time had the deepest bag in basketball behind Harden. He was 6’9 pulling off moves that 6’2 guards pull and at the same speed. Easily one of the craziest athletes in the league for a little bit.

What is that classical music in jxmy’s intro? I like it lol

I just saw another one of those "which nba player would you..." things, and I'm not lying when I say this, some bloke said Current Kobe, and that just ain't right

That fact that jimmy uploaded in a span of 4 days is more crazy then the fact that the warriors are 10th in the west after winning a championship 💀

2:52 Jimmy to defend Lebron did you really have to use a clip of him dribbling between the legs and then hitting the side of the backboard, and play it TWICE 😭

12:17 that Magic Johnson picture was not it😂😅

I really felt the anger off this men in this vid 😂

The NBA needs to give this man a job. His videos do a better job than the whole of ESPN. Man needs his series on TV.

I had the honor of playing in a 5 v 5 game against Mike James in Jefferson High School back in 2015. This was before he went pro. I got one bucket on him from deep, that was the last bucket I ever saw. And he proceeded to drop 20 on our team

jimi i was like mugsy fucking bogues or nate robinson or isaiah thomas🤣

5:20 What are the odds that the ball goes through at exactly the right time and angle? This must be what "poetry in motion" looks like but just a lot slower lol

I think people forget how long lebrons been this good. Some people need to take a trip down memory lane n look at the first 10 or so years he was in the league and witness greatness.

As much as it makes him mad we all know these are definitely Jimmy's favorite videos to make

you don’t have to worry about the guy that posted the “all these players are better than Kobe” take He was struck by lightening soon after that BLASPHEMY💀💀💀

Boban the "Big Friendly Giant". This dude is so nice he will probably let me win

Having Jimmy agree with a take probably unlocks an achievement

I'd pick Bill Russell because if I can get him laughing I think I have a chance.. but then again his laugh would make me bust out in laughter too.. damn the feels 😢 😭 RIP The Great Bill Russell

When attacking the RIM (this can be a 3 pointer), there’s a 3 dribble RULE. True some players are unstoppable, but you may be able to guess their 3 dribble & if you do. You will either going to block his shot or steal the ball.

I think there actually are correct answers to the question about which nba player to go against. Either pick any very old former nba player or if all former nba players were available at their peak shape then just pick the worst player in the first year of the nba.

Everything Jimmy said about Steph is why I always say he would be my PG over Magic and it pisses my pops and grandpa off so much. Glad to see someone agrees with me

Here's a take: I truly believe Steph curry is the single most adaptable and dynamic superstar teammate EVER. emphasis on teammate. As a shooter, he has a place in virtually any elite offensive scheme with pretty much any star teammate you could think of. If we were to use him in his simplest form, setting screens and shooting off actions, he'd still be all time dangerous without needing to dominate the ball. And he doesn't have the ego of necessarily needing the ball all the time, he's fine working with a better pure talent. He's a high IQ defender for your team, promotes a winning culture, and just having him on the court changes literally every defensive scheme you could think of.

You should do a video about the infamous punch

when we getting a video on how the celtics are making history jimmy?

Dang, you nailed that Luka-Harden comparison. More power to you

The way to win the bet is to find a player that's known for being really kind and sympathetic, explain the situation, and hope they're nice enough to let you win.

Ganis, guy is down to earth I'd explain the situation and he'd probably let me win 🤣 aside from that got no chance.

when’s that zion vid coming after the pels go on a tear for the rest of the season

I once saw Jamario Moon at an outdoor court in Toronto, jump OVER a Canadian street hooper for the dunk. He wasn't even playing. It was 100% toss me the ball I'm on my way home type things. I've been hooping for 30+ years and I've never seen someone just launch themselves into the sky like that.

Out of ALL the players he could’ve chosen to save his family he chose Lebron 😭😭

6:57 made me laugh so hard for some reason

3:10 damn that 🧱

2 videos in a week? We in for a treat 🙏🙏 thanks for the top tier videos mate

That play at 5:20...wow. Not only the double team, but through his own team mate's legs!

The 1v1 question depends on a lot of things such as: What are we playing to? Can it be first to score? If not, is it winners (score, get the next possession) or losers (get scored on, get the next possession)? Who starts with ball? If it's first to score, I have a much better chance of winning because I only need one shot to win, which doesn't require as much skill as scoring say, 10 times and having to stop the NBA player as well. If it is first to score and I get ball, I would just run around until I can get an open shot and just hope I can get lucky and make it. If I have to do a full 1v1 where it's something like first to 11, I would probably pick some bench player from like the 1950s because anyone in the modern NBA, and I have NO CHANCE.

One day I will see you on the court Boban! Oh he knows.

I started watching jimmy about 4 months ago. I have watched all his videos and i still get super excited when he uploads. Keep the hard work Jimmy you alqays make my Day!

I'd simply tell Steph my family was on the line and he'd throw the game. Most decent humans would. But I trust Steph to be a decent human.

That Hee hee magic did got me crying and I know what you said about shirt players but I’m still choosing mugsey bouges

Gary Payton II because I played and guarded him when I was 12-13 and I had 7 points to his 4 (Not very impressive I know, but his dad was "The Glove" so I felt good about it haha). That being said he would destroy me but I feel like knowing that I kinda "gloved" him when we were kids gives me a small confidence boost.

i’ve been crying for 5 minutes just thinking about the fact that someone really thinks LeBron James has no bag lmfao it’s just too funny edit: stop arguing you can’t score 37,000 points without a bag

Kyle Lowry: cause if Kevin Hart can block one of his shots, so can I 😁

Kobi Simmons, myers Leonard Malachi Flynn, collin Gillespie, Armani brooks, Calvin Murphy or Maurice harkless are on my list

im taking like one of them boys from the 50s like prime cousy or maybe somebody worse idk many hoopers from back then, they would be lost at a crossover or hesi and would not be able to guard my jumpshot or any hopstep or euro. Thats only if we play under the rules we have today not back in the 50s. i truly believe i'd win that game. bob cousy legendary tho

“Sometimes I get happy when someone gets injured”😂
