Dennis Rodman and Hakeem, handled Shaq, like he was a child. The refs, let Shaq get away with charges after charges. They would call it on other players, but not Shaq. So unjust. They stole the game, from Pippin to give Shaq, his first championship. Shaq was more of a football player, than basketball
Shaq is the most dominant center to ever play the game of basketball. Lebron James went to the finals 8 years in a row. I promise the whole Eastern conference "FEARED" Lebron James nobody wanted to face lebron James in the playoffs in the Eastern conference.
If you got a problem. Than dont watch it. See its people like YOU act and talk to lbj as if he personally knows YOU. Guess what he don't. YOU and your mj 6-0 anti lbj haters kick rocks.
I mean, if he was there, do you want him to lie and say he wasn't? Skip's been covering sports for a million years. It's no shock that he's been there for some of the greatest moments.
Demar Derozan after a loss in the playoffs in 2018 said "if we had Lebron we woulda won too". Lebron's first year in the west, Paul Millsap told him "I left the east to avoid you and now you're in the West"
Imma be honest anyone saying that is their opinion an I respect it but look what lebron did to the east for like from 2007 to 2018 it’s hard to say that they didn’t fear playing that man he went to 8 straight finals bro somebody was getting they sss beat all the time !😮💨
Nobody "feared" Tim Duncan either but he still was extremely productive and an all time great. Fear is not a litmus test to how great of a player one is.
But Tim never went to a "super team". He got help to win ?sure, but HE got help.. James went to teams that need it his help to win a Championship that's a big difference
Rookie Bron coached by Pop? He stays a spur his whole career and retires as the goat with 7+ rings 6 Fmvps, 6 regular season Mvps & 2 Dpoy. Pop also retires as the GOAT Coach
Shaq saying nobody fears Lebron. Skip: He one of the best to ever play so he knows what he's talking about. Shaq says if Lebron passes Kareem for most points he will be the GOAT. Skip: Shaq doesn't know anything about basketball.
I’m not a LeBron guy but you can’t say LeBron didn’t put the fear of god in the whole raptors organization. And golden state went and begged for KD because they were afraid they wouldn’t be able to hold off LeBron. And Miami heat LeBron James was literally from another planet. Mike still the goat but skip talking like LeBron just some guy who was lucky to win some titles
LeBron was afraid of the Boston critics because year after year they eliminated him from the playoffs he couldn't get past them so he formed. A super tram then he lost in the finals to the. Mavricks
I can tell when people only watch lebron highlights heat were lebron's best team but the best version of lebron was 2018 even tho he didn't win anything he was clearly the best in the game.
I’m a die hard Lakers fan, Shaq is a pillar of our franchise. Respectfully, the league has never had to worry about a single man longer and more than LeBron James.
I remember when LeBron transferred his talents to the west back in 2018-19 and Giannis states “he’s glad LeBron left the east now he doesn’t have to deal with dude.” But “nobody fears LeBron.” Now Giannis is more feared than KD in the east because he’s the most dominate and best player in that conference.
@@GoatedAtNFS those are a bunch of excuses nobody wants hear it was an even team matchup but anyways…. Giannis one ring is more respected and earned than KD’s two rings he won in GS, curry was weak for going to get KD, just as weak as KD choice for joining them that’s why neither are top 10 all time 🤷♂️ their in the mid/deep back of top 20 all time MAYBE, KD definitely treading on thin ice. Especially until win a ring without GS🤣🤣🤣
Thing is, if you put teams together to beat one player it's no question about fear. He was by himself and teams put top level talent players together and not oldhead players to stop him. Getting MVP's to join other MVP's in order to beat him is an indictment against any BS any player says about LeBron.
@Mathias Lee Ask yourself a serious question....what does Kyrie and Love offer other than trying to score when LeBron is on the bench? They lost to GS when LeBron would go to the bench. They are 1 dimensional players. Klay can play defense and set up teammates, as well as other number 2's and 3's. They stayed hurt. 1 dimensional players add nothing to a team. Why do you think the Bulls were successful other than having 3 of the top defensive players on 1 team playing against garbage. Use your mind and not your heart when you talk.

I know Shannon tired of these hand picked topics by skip. 😂 told y'all Skip was upset Lebron couldn't make the playoffs because noe he has to find a Detour to talk about him. The obsession is crazy.
Funny how that works since ur unc LeShannon been on Lebron payroll 💰 since 2018 when Joy as the anchor at the time EXPOSED him on the spot as both Stack and Skip just laughed in disappointment 🤦🏾♂️
Shaq literally said "Lebron puts fear in peoples hearts" before. Shaq was a great player, but that doesn't mean we should take his opinion seriously. These retired players are biased af.
Skip on here talking out both sides of his mouth repeatedly smh, when Jordan scored 63pts in a loss Bird and the Celtics feared him. When Lebron drops a 50 piece in a win the other team just wasn't good enough lol.
@NasTheBest10 MJ had 19 pts in the follow-up game and got swept as well. When Skip likes to mention LeBron so-called "flaming out", that's a prime example of that.
@NasTheBest10 bro the warriors had 4 hof on that team klay was already a 2× champion and multiple time all star green was the same with a dpoy they both were gonna get in the hof 😂
I'm always taken aback by how many people in the media and in basketball circles Have so many negative things to say about Lebron James. If he meant so little to the game then they wouldn't be talking about him.

@@popeyebogey209 that’s my part younger so I actually watched bron but Hakeem is still my favorite center of all time, but MJ is and was the OG. Greatness doesn’t have to be singular. Barkley never won a ring but still is one of the best PFs of all time in my opinion.
Little? He's a MEDIA MADE PLAYER that has been pushed all time high. Nothing to do with GREATNESS bec if so WHY he's THE ONLY MVP in NBA HISTORY with the most Finals L's 👀
I swear most of these ppl forget lebron before he went to the heat he was scary asf and wasn’t even in his prime then he was young asl and after he got to the heat he was crazy asf. Even in 2018 that year cavs was horrible but he literally dragged them to the finals. In 2015 finals he dropped 40 42 41 32 23 37 (not in order) only dropped less then 32 1 game and a avg 35! And they gave iggy the finals because he “stopped lebron” and not curry😂. But if lebron had kyrie and k love eveyeone knows they would’ve won!!
Skip: "Then when the Warriors got KD the fear factor flipped" Shannon: "Thank you then you just admitted it before then the Warriors fear Lebron in order for it to flip" Skip: "huh, naw" smdh
With the truly feared players, the fear doesn't get flipped, It's permanent. LeBron never had it like that, his opponents would prefer he take the final shot in a game, rather than pass it to a Ray Allen type of clutch shooter.
I don’t get why one of the two most storied franchises can’t just form a big 3 simply because they want to win a championship rather than because they want to beat a specific player lmao
Which teams made it to the NBA finals before the Celtics were formed? The Cavs led by Lebron and the San Antonio Spurs while the Lakers were knocked out of the first round by the Suns…I’m pretty sure the Celtics had also put together most of their team that offseason before the Lakers did so why would they be gearing up for a team that was most recently a first round knockout compared to the teams that just made the finals? I’d like for you to make sense out of that please.
Wrong.. Boston literally had the worst record in the East while LeBron was leading the Cavs to The Finals.. the Celtics and Pierce weren't getting past LeBron and the Cavs without Garnett and Allen.. Boston had to give everything they had to beat the Cavs in 7 during those 2008 playoffs.. they had to worry about LeBron before even thinking about Kobe.
Everything LeShannon said had no validation whatsoever! 1. It wasn't the same 04 Pistons LeBron beat in 07 bec both 4 time DPOY defensive unit Ben.W and HoF Coach Brown wasn't in them team in 07. That's like talking taking off Rodman and Phil Zen master off the Bulls. 2. There is no proof or evidence that The Celtics built their team bec of LeBron. As Pierce was 1 year from free agency at the time and they didn't wanna ruin his chances with him entering his peak so they had the opportunity for both Ray and KG in difficult deals. Tho The Toronto series they were scared indeed. So I give him that.
@@proxinsky4981 people dont know the context, mavs swept the lakers in first round that year, the champsnof year before, they had a great regular season record, strong indicator championship, and when facing the heat, were forcing lebron into bad positions. they always ALWAYS say theyd rather be beaten by the others orr roleplayers than the star, thats exactly what happened, great gameplan, great execution by mavs. people are just running with media narative without any knowledge of the events

lol coming back to this after KP went on a podcast to confess that he prayed to god that LeBron would tear an ACL in practice before playing them in a game 7
It’s interesting to see all these Laker greats take shots at lebron, I don’t think the legends respect the way he handles himself. Wants everyone to like him and is mr friendly. Versus a generation that beat themselves on the court.
Yeah Shaq beat himself relying on his physicality alone instead of any real work ethic cutting his prime down drastically compared to any other NBA great without injury…
It's all about intangibles and perception. Kobe and Mike were highly feared for sure, they were doing more emotional and phychological damage (attitude, trashtalk, eye contact, ego, killer instinct,...). In the other hand, we have lebron with his great talent, his massive gifted body but also his friendly approach, his hilarious stories and his role model image (son, husband, father, community engagement, etc.). Nobody fear that. It's all about perception, nothing to do with talents... for many years the league was afraid from Ron artest, Bill laimbeer and Charles oakley.
8 years in a row he took 2 different teams to the finals to say no one feared him is ridiculous, they made teams to beat him. Shannon was right on the money on this topic
Shannon is forgetting that the Pistons that beat the lakers in the finals had ben wallace. Ben Wallace didn’t play at all when bron beat the pistons in 2007
If he said no one in the west I might believe him just because you’d have to go through Kobe Shaq and/or the Spur to even see Lebron, but in the whole league? Nah that’s major 🧢
I think they are both off the mark with what Shaq said. I think he is saying that like people didn’t fear him physically like they did Shaq or a Giannis because they play to their size, Lebron never really has played to that size and made himself so physically dominant that no one could stop him. I think that’s what Shaq was saying, not that nobody feared Lebron as a player.
"Nobody was ever scared of Lebron" Celtics: "Lets form a superteam and jump lebron" Spurs: "We need a Dynasty to beat Lebron" Warriors: "We need KD to beat Lebron"
Draymond said he took less money the year before to sign kd the next year. How is that fear lebron if he was already thinking about signing kd even without losing the finals
Exactly. That’s why their gm said we’re light years ahead of everyone right after they won the finals in 2015. They had a plan & knew how to execute it.
But they lost in 2016 n Draymond could see that this would keep happening and that they would need someone to help beat them and they didn't just get a good player they got kd but arguing with you ppl that dnt kno basketball is a drag
skip will never accept the famous saying "THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOMEBODY BETTER THAN YOU OUT THERE" meaning eventually there will be somebody better than Jordan. He also needs to understand that the game changes over time and talent comes in different ways.
Dirk was never scared of going up against 3 superstars all in their prime. Spurs and the warriors owned lebron and would have had perfect records against him if not for some BS officiating.
Facts, in 2016 Lebron was so scared he had to run to upper to force Draymond to get suspended LMAO oh and don’t forget Boston ran him out of his own hometown🤣
@@OrondeBranch how are you going to say Cavs were banged up in 2015 but dismiss warriors being banged up in 2016. Keep the same energy on both ends hypocrite !
Shannon's right about GS putting together a super team to beat Lebron, but saying the Celtics did the same is revisionist history. The Celtics were LAST in the eastern conference standings in 2007. They traded for KG and Ray Allen so they could be contenders, not because they were worried that they couldn't get past Lebron and the Cavs.
People seem to forget that Golden State beat the Cavaliers in 2015 with Lebron before KD ever got there. So that's a false narrative that they "needed" KD to beat them.
@@edwinthomas1212 people also seem to forget that 2015 finals was played with lebron as the sole star because kyrie and kevin was injured kev in the round vs celtics i think and kyrie midway through game 1
The warriors didn’t immediately run to KD after they lost to the man 3-1? 😂 they would’ve lost in 2015 too if Kyrie was hurt. He alone took 2 games off them full strength. That piston team in 07 literally couldn’t do a damn thing to stop him 😂 they not scared but tried trapping and switching up the defense like 5 times. Still lost. Fear!! Any player you have to plan for it’s fear. They are worried of the danger a player brings. That’s MJ, Kobe, Magic, Bird, Lebron, KD etc period.
@@coldwolf7014 That's called respect for their game. Fear on the other hand, is psychological.

I have to disagree with skip. The east feared Lebron. Just like teams fear Steph, thats why KD had a field day in finals. Ty Lue said as much. MJ and Lebron were feared the same.
the East feared Lebron? the same East that lebron joined wade and bosh on, the same east that only had a few superstars and most of them played with him, what do yall be talking about?
There is a difference between acknowledging that someone is an unbelievable player and fearing someone. Listen to the players that played against Michael. They feared playing against him because he could embarrass him at any point and time. Lebron is an amazing talent and players know that any team with Lebron has (or had) a shot to win. They just don't worry about him embarrassing them.
So the Raptors never worried about LeBron beating them year after year? The Pacers and Hawks never worried about LeBron? The reason why the Warriors added KD to their team was not because they were worried about LeBron? Teams were scared of LeBron when he was in his prime, LeBron in the span of 2012-2018 was the most unstoppable player in the league.
@@sheridanclan6 Bruh I'm not dissing Jordan when I compliment Lebron 🤦. I swear bruh you can't say anything positive about Bron without Jordan dickriders crying
Shaq really forgot he said Lebron puts fear in your heart when he was with Cleveland, and we gonna act like Lebron had nothing to do with KD being recruited to the Warriors? They were scared of the dude lmao
The warriors closed the talent gap between them and Clevland by adding Durant. Golden state was a better team as far as the aspect of playing together and maximizing what they had. Clevland had better talent. Lebron really didn't have to defend anyone that series as his matchup Barnes played atrocious.
Nobody has ever feared LeBron he doesn't have that killer instinct in him. On the other hand people feared Michael Jordan they didn't want to give him any motivation to go off, and Shaq was feared because you couldn't stop him accept for at the free-throw line.
@Cash_world23 Tell me your 12 years old without telling me your 12 years old. Nobody has ever feared LeBron he's not that type of player. Jordan and Shaq were 2 of the most feared players to ever play the game. Jordan's will to win was unmatched, and Shaq's physical dominance was unmatched. You literally know absolutely nothing about basketball.
@@courtlam79 since you're so wise, what does it mean when a team puts together 3 all NBA players to beat a 22 yr old with little support. What's that if not fear of never being able to beat him again. Or what does it mean when a 73 win team Flys out to recruit a MVP level player. That was because the two top teams in the West knew they had no chance of beating LeBron. Also the pistons didn't fear Jordan, they simply put together a game plan to win the series. The Celtics didn't fear him, (too busy sweeping him out the playoffs). Cut the media bias and use logic to think for yourself.
@henrylowery3297 Again nobody fears LeBron James he's just not built like that. It's the same way with Tim Duncan nobody feared Tim, but it doesn't take anything away from his greatness he could put up numbers. If you notice I never said LeBron wasn't a great player, but he isn't a killer on the court that's not how he plays. That Celtic team you speak of if I remember correctly Larry Bird said MJ was Jesus in disguise. Larry knew he had the better overall team, but MJ was the better player. If you take Kyrie out of that series against the 73-9 Warriors the CAVS lose. LeBron is great, but not on the level of Jordan or Shaq they were monsters at their positions.
@@brandonmoyd2942 Draymond already had a warning when kicking Steven Adams in the groin, or did you forget? LeBron didn't have to complain, when they have actual footage for replay.
I'll give you game 7 when it comes to Curry coming up short, but those prior games (5 & 6) those REFEREE'S allowed Cleveland's whole damn team to beat him up which hampered his rhythm offensively. Not to mention they wouldn't allow Steph to remain in the game because of ghost fouls which lead to THE ONLY TIME YOU EVER SEEN A UNAMIOUS MVP FOUL OUT OF A CRUCIAL GAME!!
Tbf Curry came up short that entire series. Even in the games they won. And Curry allowing some body on him affect him so much points to his lack of mental fortitude.
That finals was about corporate branding, refs had a clear mandate to keep the big brand athletes relevant. Steph got no calls, and it was terrible basketball to watch.
The media is really struggling to find the next American NBA star. The Lakers are eliminated but Lebron is the leading topic. Many of the best players are international and that’s scaring the media. Giannis, Luka, Jokic, & Embiid are all arguably top 5. Who will the next American star be? The media is scrambling.
@@garfieldGG Steph is 34 so he’s too old to be the next American Star. The NBA has to find another American star under 25 that can be the leading topic for the next decade after Lebron retires. The media hasn’t found a guy like that yet.
I'm not even a big fan of Michael or Skip but I get what they mean. Simply put nobody ever accused players like Michael, Bird, or Kobe of quitting. You knew those guys were competitive to the point of being considered psycho to some. They play to the last second no quitting just rabid man and it's frightening to play against that. I want to fight the guy who knows when to walk away instead of the guy who keeps coming back like he Rocky Balboa vs Creed.
Hakeem was skilled with beautiful spin moves off the postup , ball fakes , mid range juper and superior quickness. Too many weapons for Shaq. Shaq was an effective raw brute compared to the Dream....
Kobe and MJ were feared. Lebron is too friendly. Hes a nice guy. He made friends with the worst enemies. Theres nothing to fear about the guy. But hes an amazing athlete. Not a killer by any means. Its not even worth debating anymore. 🧘🏽♂️
What does the numbers say,and I am a Jordan guy,but you crazy if you think LeBron isn't feared,this year alone they glad they don't have to see him as a lower seed and their a higher seed and he beats them,that would be as bad as the mavz losing to the 8 th seed warriors.
@@georgeprchal3924 exactly,killer instinct comes in many forms,no two animals hunt the same is what they don't get,some score,some reb,some pass and some play defense,but LeBron is that one rare animal that does them all well,as a unbiased Jordan guy I saw years ago what he was.
How many players have come out and said that they feared Lebron James? Jordan was respected and feared and that is coming from the players that he played against.
Shannon leaves out that Detroit no longer had ben Wallace in 07. Their most important player when they beat the lakers in 04. Pistons were still a tough team to beat in 07 but that team was different with Ben Wallace.
No one can convince me other wise that 08 Boston was assembled solely because of Kobe. And with 3 Hall of famers they tied them 1-1 in the finals but didn't go year 2 because of Orlando. Boston didn't fear lebron and the Cavs but I think they feared the Lakers and Kobe those years more
Kobe wasn’t even a threat to make it to the finals until the Lakers got Gasol mid year. The 2008 Celtics were built to compete for a title. Miami was built to beat the Celtics because they couldn’t get past them. Celtics were not built solely to beat the Lakers.
Kobe was more than a threat. They were coming off back to back playoff appearances in 06 and 07. And everybody knew, if the Lakers get a little bit of help, they will be a problem.

We’ve never seen 3 top 5 picks from the same draft team up in their primes. All being from the same conference. That means you eliminate 2 teams by taking away their franchise player.

Nobody "feared" Tim Duncan either but he still was extremely productive and an all time great. Fear is not a litmus test to how great of a player one is.
Great point.
But Tim never went to a "super team". He got help to win ?sure, but HE got help.. James went to teams that need it his help to win a Championship that's a big difference

Lebron is also all Skip talks about on Twitter. Man’s on his mind 24/7 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️😂😂😂
yall act like they the only big media show that brings up lebron get out yall feelings
Then don’t watch 😂
I remember when LeBron transferred his talents to the west back in 2018-19 and Giannis states “he’s glad LeBron left the east now he doesn’t have to deal with dude.” But “nobody fears LeBron.” Now Giannis is more feared than KD in the east because he’s the most dominate and best player in that conference.
if KD had Kyrie not hurt with Harden they would’ve won that series we all knew that. one championship and Giannis is more feared than KD what? 🤣
@@GoatedAtNFS if kyrie and love never got hurt in 2015 golden state woulda lost north finals
@@GoatedAtNFS those are a bunch of excuses nobody wants hear it was an even team matchup but anyways…. Giannis one ring is more respected and earned than KD’s two rings he won in GS, curry was weak for going to get KD, just as weak as KD choice for joining them that’s why neither are top 10 all time 🤷♂️ their in the mid/deep back of top 20 all time MAYBE, KD definitely treading on thin ice. Especially until win a ring without GS🤣🤣🤣
@SH DM u a child who haven’t even been watching the game long enough I can tell by that statement 😭
@SH DM Maybe the same reason Shaq feared mj you bozo
Thing is, if you put teams together to beat one player it's no question about fear. He was by himself and teams put top level talent players together and not oldhead players to stop him. Getting MVP's to join other MVP's in order to beat him is an indictment against any BS any player says about LeBron.
LBJ joined wade who already won a ring
@Mathias Lee Ask yourself a serious question....what does Kyrie and Love offer other than trying to score when LeBron is on the bench? They lost to GS when LeBron would go to the bench. They are 1 dimensional players. Klay can play defense and set up teammates, as well as other number 2's and 3's. They stayed hurt. 1 dimensional players add nothing to a team. Why do you think the Bulls were successful other than having 3 of the top defensive players on 1 team playing against garbage. Use your mind and not your heart when you talk.

Which teams made it to the NBA finals before the Celtics were formed? The Cavs led by Lebron and the San Antonio Spurs while the Lakers were knocked out of the first round by the Suns…I’m pretty sure the Celtics had also put together most of their team that offseason before the Lakers did so why would they be gearing up for a team that was most recently a first round knockout compared to the teams that just made the finals? I’d like for you to make sense out of that please.
I ain’t look at it like dat that’s a valid point
Wrong.. Boston literally had the worst record in the East while LeBron was leading the Cavs to The Finals.. the Celtics and Pierce weren't getting past LeBron and the Cavs without Garnett and Allen.. Boston had to give everything they had to beat the Cavs in 7 during those 2008 playoffs.. they had to worry about LeBron before even thinking about Kobe.

2. There is no proof or evidence that The Celtics built their team bec of LeBron.
As Pierce was 1 year from free agency at the time and they didn't wanna ruin his chances with him entering his peak so they had the opportunity for both Ray and KG in difficult deals.

In the other hand, we have lebron with his great talent, his massive gifted body but also his friendly approach, his hilarious stories and his role model image (son, husband, father, community engagement, etc.). Nobody fear that.
It's all about perception, nothing to do with talents... for many years the league was afraid from Ron artest, Bill laimbeer and Charles oakley.

East was weak, the weakest in history.
The weakness
@@_YourFlyIsOpen no that the 2021 season
Him winning games and him being feared have ZERO correlation. Y’all just talking to talk.
@@TheIcemanthomas that just sounds uneducated lmfao
Skips art of deflection is top tier grade A material! 😂
And Shannon's delusion (with or without being on Klutch Sports payroll) about LeBron is unparalleled with the exception of Nick Wright.
That's why he gets the big bucks 💵
Shannon: “they couldn’t do nothing wit’m
Skip:”hmmm”
Shannon:”they saw a 22 year old kid”
Skip:”hmm”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A guy who has to support 5 different teams just so he can celebrate Bron losing is ofc going to agree with Shaq... lmfao hilarious man
I am laugh crying at this. Skip is the ultimate troll. Protect this man at all costs.
Man made so much finals. The east competition was nowhere close like the west .
but yet golden state was going to the finals every year that lebron made it 😂 real close when it was cleveland and golden state 4 years in row
That’s not his fault doe
I have to disagree with skip. The east feared Lebron. Just like teams fear Steph, thats why KD had a field day in finals. Ty Lue said as much. MJ and Lebron were feared the same.
the East feared Lebron? the same East that lebron joined wade and bosh on, the same east that only had a few superstars and most of them played with him, what do yall be talking about?
I must admit you are right.
That’s bc in this modern era all players are cool with each other. Name one player cats are scared of today
Giannis is feared. He's a freight train going to the rim.
@@a-void6774 no on fears giannis stop it
They were cool before as well
@@phatch5444 You are out of your mind if you don't think players fear Giannis
Players fear Giannis because he has no regard for opponents. He’s old school in that way.
There is a difference between acknowledging that someone is an unbelievable player and fearing someone. Listen to the players that played against Michael. They feared playing against him because he could embarrass him at any point and time. Lebron is an amazing talent and players know that any team with Lebron has (or had) a shot to win. They just don't worry about him embarrassing them.
So the Raptors never worried about LeBron beating them year after year? The Pacers and Hawks never worried about LeBron? The reason why the Warriors added KD to their team was not because they were worried about LeBron? Teams were scared of LeBron when he was in his prime, LeBron in the span of 2012-2018 was the most unstoppable player in the league.
How does Lebron not embarrass people when he posterizes the entire team 💀
@@lphjustin you just named 3 weakass teams 😂😂
@@RavyToor, Michael dunked all over people but he embarrassed them by scoring at will, locking them down on defense, and taking over games.
@@sheridanclan6 Bruh I'm not dissing Jordan when I compliment Lebron 🤦. I swear bruh you can't say anything positive about Bron without Jordan dickriders crying
Shaq really forgot he said Lebron puts fear in your heart when he was with Cleveland, and we gonna act like Lebron had nothing to do with KD being recruited to the Warriors? They were scared of the dude lmao
The warriors closed the talent gap between them and Clevland by adding Durant. Golden state was a better team as far as the aspect of playing together and maximizing what they had. Clevland had better talent. Lebron really didn't have to defend anyone that series as his matchup Barnes played atrocious.
Nobody has ever feared LeBron he doesn't have that killer instinct in him. On the other hand people feared Michael Jordan they didn't want to give him any motivation to go off, and Shaq was feared because you couldn't stop him accept for at the free-throw line.
😂😂😂 try again troll
@Cash_world23 Tell me your 12 years old without telling me your 12 years old. Nobody has ever feared LeBron he's not that type of player. Jordan and Shaq were 2 of the most feared players to ever play the game. Jordan's will to win was unmatched, and Shaq's physical dominance was unmatched. You literally know absolutely nothing about basketball.
@@courtlam79 since you're so wise, what does it mean when a team puts together 3 all NBA players to beat a 22 yr old with little support. What's that if not fear of never being able to beat him again. Or what does it mean when a 73 win team Flys out to recruit a MVP level player. That was because the two top teams in the West knew they had no chance of beating LeBron. Also the pistons didn't fear Jordan, they simply put together a game plan to win the series. The Celtics didn't fear him, (too busy sweeping him out the playoffs). Cut the media bias and use logic to think for yourself.
@henrylowery3297 Again nobody fears LeBron James he's just not built like that. It's the same way with Tim Duncan nobody feared Tim, but it doesn't take anything away from his greatness he could put up numbers. If you notice I never said LeBron wasn't a great player, but he isn't a killer on the court that's not how he plays. That Celtic team you speak of if I remember correctly Larry Bird said MJ was Jesus in disguise. Larry knew he had the better overall team, but MJ was the better player. If you take Kyrie out of that series against the 73-9 Warriors the CAVS lose. LeBron is great, but not on the level of Jordan or Shaq they were monsters at their positions.
@@courtlam79how do you dominate a whole conference for a decade without anyone fearing you?
You fear an elephant but not the same way you fear a Great White Shark.
Lebron feared not having enough great players to win.
KD would have never went to GSW if it wasn’t for LeBron ‼️💯
Facts Lebron cried to higher up & forced them to suspend Draymond LMAO
@@brandonmoyd2942 Draymond already had a warning when kicking Steven Adams in the groin, or did you forget? LeBron didn't have to complain, when they have actual footage for replay.

@@brandonmoyd2942 casual
@@brandonmoyd2942 Draymond had too many technical fouls. Don't blame Lebron for Draymond actions throughout the entire playoffs
I'll give you game 7 when it comes to Curry coming up short, but those prior games (5 & 6) those REFEREE'S allowed Cleveland's whole damn team to beat him up which hampered his rhythm offensively. Not to mention they wouldn't allow Steph to remain in the game because of ghost fouls which lead to THE ONLY TIME YOU EVER SEEN A UNAMIOUS MVP FOUL OUT OF A CRUCIAL GAME!!
Tbf Curry came up short that entire series. Even in the games they won. And Curry allowing some body on him affect him so much points to his lack of mental fortitude.
That finals was about corporate branding, refs had a clear mandate to keep the big brand athletes relevant. Steph got no calls, and it was terrible basketball to watch.
@@SabatinShongweMhlaba Exactly!
"Are you finish because im bout to start" *Changes video*
The media is really struggling to find the next American NBA star. The Lakers are eliminated but Lebron is the leading topic. Many of the best players are international and that’s scaring the media.
Giannis, Luka, Jokic, & Embiid are all arguably top 5. Who will the next American star be? The media is scrambling.
Lebron is the leading topic because it’s undisputed no way you’re this dense
Steph Curry
@@garfieldGG Steph is 34 so he’s too old to be the next American Star. The NBA has to find another American star under 25 that can be the leading topic for the next decade after Lebron retires. The media hasn’t found a guy like that yet.
I'm not even a big fan of Michael or Skip but I get what they mean. Simply put nobody ever accused players like Michael, Bird, or Kobe of quitting. You knew those guys were competitive to the point of being considered psycho to some. They play to the last second no quitting just rabid man and it's frightening to play against that. I want to fight the guy who knows when to walk away instead of the guy who keeps coming back like he Rocky Balboa vs Creed.
Kobe definitely quit on his team against the suns when he wouldn’t even take a shot and his team lost the series because he quit…
Kobe requested a trade over the radio and blew a 3-1 lead over Steve Nash
@@ApacheHall_95 Since Skip likes to bash LeBron for blowing a 2-1 lead against GS, MJ did the same thing against Detroit in 89.
I’m a LBJ fan!!!!!! Paul Pierce was right they do have to talk about home almost every damn day
Because he brings attention you imbecile… attention= money… are you that mentally handicapped to not understand such a simple concept?
He’s the money if you owned this show you wouldn’t talk about someone that brings in less views and money
Hakeem definitely wiped the floor with him
Like a brand new mop on a Sunday morning .
Hakeem son’d shaq
Hakeem was better than shaq
Dirk wiped the floor with lebron
Hakeem was skilled with beautiful spin moves off the postup , ball fakes , mid range juper and superior quickness. Too many weapons for Shaq. Shaq was an effective raw brute compared to the Dream....
Kobe and MJ were feared. Lebron is too friendly. Hes a nice guy. He made friends with the worst enemies. Theres nothing to fear about the guy. But hes an amazing athlete. Not a killer by any means. Its not even worth debating anymore. 🧘🏽♂️
What does the numbers say,and I am a Jordan guy,but you crazy if you think LeBron isn't feared,this year alone they glad they don't have to see him as a lower seed and their a higher seed and he beats them,that would be as bad as the mavz losing to the 8 th seed warriors.
I was unaware Jordan or Kobe had actually killed anyone.
@@georgeprchal3924 exactly,killer instinct comes in many forms,no two animals hunt the same is what they don't get,some score,some reb,some pass and some play defense,but LeBron is that one rare animal that does them all well,as a unbiased Jordan guy I saw years ago what he was.
@@georgeprchal3924 bruh say it again…
I would like to know what Kobe would have said or done watching the Lakers this season.
same thing he said when LA underachieved. He would expect more and tell them to do better
Skip is the king of justifying his contradictions we see you Shannon lol
Magic Johnson was also a nice guy but yet he was still an assassin
Shannon will go to all lengths to protect LeBron. I’m starting to think he goes harder than Nick Wright
The issue is Skip only highlights Lebrons failures but when Shannon flips the scenarios with the same narrative Skip dismisses it
Everythin he said is facts cry about it
A killer isn’t always cold hearted . A killer is silent and loving until he have to demonstrate
How many players have come out and said that they feared Lebron James? Jordan was respected and feared and that is coming from the players that he played against.
I agree with Shaq 100%
Everyone was scared of Lebron especially Curry and Durant 💪🏿
Nobody in the Western Conference is scared of him LMAO people make fun of him like Brandon Ingram “LeBrick” 🤣
@@brandonmoyd2942 lebron was literally beating KD everytime they met until dude joined the warriors lol

Shannon leaves out that Detroit no longer had ben Wallace in 07. Their most important player when they beat the lakers in 04. Pistons were still a tough team to beat in 07 but that team was different with Ben Wallace.
Exactly! LeBron fan boys always trying to control the narrative, never telling the full story 🤣🤣🤦🏽♂️
Everybody said they feared Michael. They talked about it all on Sports Center
I think what Shaq meant was they don't fear him to double team him. Many times they dare LeBron to shoot (That was San Antonio's game plan)
No one can convince me other wise that 08 Boston was assembled solely because of Kobe. And with 3 Hall of famers they tied them 1-1 in the finals but didn't go year 2 because of Orlando. Boston didn't fear lebron and the Cavs but I think they feared the Lakers and Kobe those years more
Kobe wasn’t even a threat to make it to the finals until the Lakers got Gasol mid year. The 2008 Celtics were built to compete for a title. Miami was built to beat the Celtics because they couldn’t get past them. Celtics were not built solely to beat the Lakers.
Kobe was more than a threat. They were coming off back to back playoff appearances in 06 and 07. And everybody knew, if the Lakers get a little bit of help, they will be a problem. And it's total disrespect to even put lebron over kobe during them years especially when kobe was the undoubted best player in the league and led his team to the playoffs with a bunch of guys I bet you couldn't name off the top of your head!!
@@kassimwiley1563 Kobe’s last championship teams were big and tall. They have Gasol and Bynum as the front court with Trevor Ariza and Odom one year and Artest replaced Aroza afterwards. His team wasn’t full of bums lmao they just weren’t at the championship level until Gasol got there in the middle of 08.
@@drkenobii I said before the 07-08 team, and artest didn't come til the 2010 season, and outside of Odom, you still didn't name a player from any of the teams in 06 or 07 who was actually a factor at all lmao. And even after getting gasol, that doesn't equat to a superteam
@@kassimwiley1563 I don’t think you understand what I was saying in my first comment. Boston did not trade for Ray Allen and KG solely to beat Kobe in the Finals. In 2005 they didn’t make the playoffs, 2006 they blew a 3-1 lead the lose to Phoenix in the first round, 2007 they lose in 5 to the Suns again in the first round. My entire argument was that Boston team was not assembled with it’s ONLY reason being to beat Kobe’s Lakers in the finals when they couldn’t even get out of the first round three years before.
Why when other teams try to upgrade their roster in the off season like 100% of the teams SUPPOSED TO DO it gets called "gearing up for LeBron" but when LeBron team makes upgrades its never called anything but upgrading their roster..... Why NOBODY say "damn LeBron bringing in all these HOFers just for the Suns" before the season started? Only goofy LeBron fans say that type of dumb stuff 🤷🏾♂️

Bottomline people beat lebron at his own game! Lebron started the joining of players
We’ve never seen 3 top 5 picks from the same draft team up in their primes. All being from the same conference. That means you eliminate 2 teams by taking away their franchise player. Also miami didn’t have to give up assets since they were all free agents & took pay cuts.
Then these Lebron stans have the nerve when KD made his move. They should be forbidden from speaking on any player monopolizing his odds at winning.
@@MR.__G miami and toronto wernt even contenders goof🤣 shut up
You must've forgotten the 08 Celtics. Or quite literally 98% of teams that ever won championship. That's mad casual and ignorant to think LeBron is the catalyst of the super team
@@tigerscott5929 The Celtics we're all past their primes. They traded for Ray Allen and had to beg KG to go there because he didn't wanna team up. Those 3 Miami bozos just started a group chat and stacked the deck.
