If the Lakers win the championship this year, as a Lebron fan I will be the most unbearable fan you’ll ever meet. 😂
Same 😂😂
Ditto 😂😂😂
LeBron haters will never be able to say anything to me again 👑🐐
me too :D
big facts! imma be so irritating lmao
ON MY MOMMA!!!!!
What Lebron did in Cleveland in 2016 will forever be his greatest team achievement. Being down 3-1 to The Warriors (who were the best regular season win team) and bringing Cleveland its first world championship in over 50 years.
I talk about it everyday like it just happened today. You had to witness it to really feel it like we do.
He won that championship on the real King James birthday. It's all scripted.
Yeah 💯, GS had broke the record for most wins, being down 3-1, yeah lakers is hard but my god that come has to be his best
@@RichardSmith-uf1nn So the injuries are also scripted? Ja Morant waving guns is also scripted? Kyrie Irving standing ten toes on his theory the earth is flat is also scripted? Greg Oden watching from the sidelines is also scripted? Stop.
Give any team an extra 100 free throws and they will win every series Lebron is a zero without the refs he s nothing without the rigged refs
Back to back 41 point games against the 73-9 warriors is the most legendary thing you can do
Give any team an extra 100 free throws and they will win every series Lebron is a zero without the refs he s nothing without the rigged refs
@@Alex-sf9bo crazy how some fouls people are literally pulling him down and he still makes layups. (Outside of flops)
@@Alex-sf9bo one of the most prolific driving players of all time vs the most prolific 3pt shooting teams of all time. i wonder why they had more free throws across a 7 game series 💀💀💀
@@realonestl314 Y’all don’t gotta respond to the idiots. Let them be
One of the most underrated Lebron’s ability is how to get everyone onboard and believe they can win a championship even though many of them just joined the team for a few months. His leadership is unmatched. I truly believe whenever AD and Lebron are completely healthy, they will always find a way to win.
Facts
Lol man drug a team that was changed mid season all the way to the finals lol. This will be his second time doing so
THAT'S hard to do and more now that he's trusting he's players
He sure got Russell Westbrook to buy in
And also WITHOUT feeling the need to BEAT them up, like Jordan did 💁♂️
I’m with Perk they better not let Bron win because you really wouldn’t be able to tell us Bron fans nothing lol!
Bron is my GOAT so this ring would officially put him over MJ

Exactly.
Or that they got KD to combat what Bron & KY did to them. They ain't run in back with the same squad, they picked up another Superstar. Most of their chips are fluke

@@nickjones5495 he didn't say he did. You lack comprehension skills bro.

Ok so how is that on LeBron I thought it was the front office in charge of personel and the coaches job to bring them together?
@@BigRaji1981y’all find any way to hate on bron. People like you blamed lebron for Russ and the bad roster. “LeGM” but when pelinka actually finally does his job, let’s give him alll the credit NOT lebron. Hypocrite haters.
That's how you know the difference between LeGm and the actual GM LeBron teams fail more than they succeed 😂
Bully ball and defense travels. Its analogous to a smashmouth football teams that runs heavy and plays D...very hard to beat. The LAL keep you at bay once they get the lead with steady 4-5 yard runs by getting easy looks at the rim with LBJ/AD. When its 3rd/4th and 1, they have 2 back who can get that yard by getting close to the rim. The 50 yard bomb doesn't help when you need a yard (GSW). Although sometimes inconsistent, they aren't that bad of a 3pt shooting team now. They force contact and get into the bonus where they are now an excellent FT shooting team since they got rid of RW. They play D and turn those stops into easy transition buckets/more fouls, which is essentially their "3pt shot," rinse & repeat. Genius plan. And its exactly the same recipe they had in the Bubble.
@@haywood0457 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Better than coming back from 3-1 against the 73-9 Warriors? BIG 🧢. I get how they started 2-10, but the post trade deadline Lakers (whether ppl wanna admit it or not) would've finished as a top 4 seed in the west had they had this team the entire season.
But that makes it even more impressive because they gelled so quickly. Not many teams can revamp their whole roster mid season and do well: Brooklyn, Phoenix, etc
They had literally 20 games to not only make the playoffs from being a 13th seed, but also gel together to become a championship caliber team
73-9 warriors are so overrated. Took a KD collapse to even get to the finals.
It’s called recency bias
You Also forget lbj went to shoot up his peds at the end
2016 is one of the greatest sport achievements ever, being the first to ever win in the finals when down 3-1, winning against a 73-9 team, having unbelievable stats during those games, The Block, the fact that it was for a home team that also drafted him. This possible title would be impressive but not close to all of that
Facts💯
Nope Real Madrid 2022 ucl run was the greatest sport achievement of all time
@@AlexM-uq3cm I said ONE OF
Kyrie the one saved Cleveland that 2016 ring 💯💯💯
@@KingTaylor-pl2el lol no, last time I checked Lebron still going to the finals and wins them while Kyrie is getting swept
Cavs ring was when he turned a corner and fire matched the talent. This would be more impressive though. From nearly missing playoffs, AD was hurt often as #2, add a ton of new pieces mid-season and then head-to-head against all those stars..on top of the fact he's 2 yrs from 40. That's the easy answer imo
AD played more games than Lebron
2016 Cavs is his best accomplishment since they're up against 73-9 Warriors. It's just poetic till Game 7, with a game saving block and game winning 3 by Kyrie and a defensive stop by Love. It was just magnificent to watch.
Y’all forgetting lebron went 6 games with golden state without Love or Kyrie, arguably golden states only championship without Cleveland’s health and Durant joining would have come last year against Boston.
Nah only Steven a smith forgot about that
Kyrie saved Cleveland 💯💯💯. Kd better than lebron

Naw, its that Championship in Cleveland. From the start of those playoffs to the Finals postgame interview.

@@KingTaylor-pl2el Just because he put him on his #2 that doesn't he didn't hate him. He literally nit picking everything that would discredit LeBron.
@@KingTaylor-pl2el who doesn't 😂
Really want a Lakers/Heat championship, honestly. I’m also a big Kevin Love fan so it’d be aces either way for me. Still think the 3-1 comeback was almost surreal, so I suppose we’d just have to experience it before talking about experiencing it.
I love that they always bring up Draymond getting suspended and steph hurt but still playing but never bring up Kevin love and kyrie being hurt the year before.
Lol didn’t he say remove he would remove him from the Rushmore? 😂
He only said that if Curry would have won that Series and won the title this year but he didn't
@@corywagner9455 Guess we found out why LeBron is on Rushmore and Steph isn't lolol
I'll say this was easily his hardest road to a championship if he gets there.
But no championship will be harder than 2016.
I would be highly impressed. Wasn't this team out of playoff contention at one point in the seedings? Or am I mistaken?
They were 14th seed at one point in the west
If they face the Celtics in the finals and beat them, this will tie 2016 championship due to the fact he broke the scoring title, had a 7th seed win the finals, first team in the play-in format to ever win a chip because I don’t think that going to happen again any time soon, and most of all he got the lakers to increase the ring count while beating an historic rival franchise.
What happened this season is more likely to be repeated than coming back down 3-1 against a team that was 73-9 and also came back down 3-1 in the conference finals. Just won’t happen again.
In 2023 still we talk about 2016 finals that shows the evident reason for the greatest finals of all time & toughest ...
Perkins killed me with his.... "yeah yeah yeah."🤣🤣🤣🤣
As amazing as it would be this year. Down 3-1 to a 73-9 team is a Herculean feat, never thought I’d see anything like it
It never happened in the Finals vs any team before then (obviously none with 73 wins).
Pretty much everyone is excited the Lakers made it to the WCF. Things are more interesting when LeBron is still in the mix 🔥
Listen, I'm a Lebron fan and am rooting for him, but this championship talk is way too premature. The Nuggets are no joke and could very well be the best team remaining.
Real talk, Ad can’t even afford to sneeze one game this series
If lakers defense can blitz Murray the way they did curry, I like the lakers chances. There’s no stopping him, so AD just has to keep up.
Let's be real here how many times have the Lakers have prove to ppl that shooting 3s is not better attacking the rim n getting Denver foul trouble that's all they need a is guard their 3s and then use their link to create turnovers tho lol Lakers in 6
Steph is better than Murray /AD cancels Nichola .. lakers in 5 !!!
Denver trash
If they win the championship, it would be as impressive as the 1995 the dream run. IMO the dream's performance was more impressive due the the fact that he was the solo star in that team. But we are talking about a 40 year old man still playing at the highest level, and an incredible greats AD. Next level stuff here.
1994 rockets
- Started the season 2-10
- Made it to the play-in after being the 13th seed after the All-Star break
- Made it to the play-in after the trades with 11 games to go
- Beat the 2nd seed, who also had the DPOY
- He's 38yrs old and still hooping
- Beat the Defending Champs
- Would have beat a guy who should've won 3 MVPs in a roll(Jokic)
- Either prove the bubble win was real against the Heat or beat the Celtics who's tied in titles
Crazy championship if they win!!
Nuggets in 5 🔥🔥
Stephe A: I’m not delegitimizing a championship
Stephen A:………Andrew Bogut was hurt
Lmao Perk & Swagu reactions to Stephen A coming at them with excuses for that 2016 chip got me weak💀
If LeBron solidifies this historical run with a title this will be his most historical run ever scoring title, finals championship and finallsa MVP
If they win championship, AD will be finals MVP
Didn’t Lebron and AD already make a miracle when advancing to WCF
2016 championship is by far the most impressive by Lebron. Even watching the documentary gives you goosebumps.
Kyrie saved Cleveland that ring 💯💯
Every chip they say is bron most impressive, dude let it go all the chips are impressive
This man Stephen A just be talking😂 he said K Love like he was this great player in that playoff run💀💀
2016 is what solidified him as the chosen one tho
Why does Marcus Spears' laugh at 4:52 sound like Kevin Gates? lmao
Man this guy was ready to take him off Mount Rushmore and put curry after one game..
istg😂
The 3-1 comeback in ‘16 was against the 1st unanimous MVP too.. but if he win it this year!!???? Nobody can achieve the same thing in one season. Someone might come back from 3-1 in the finals again. But to have the all time scoring record and win a championship the same year; 20 years in, out of the playoffs, had to win a play in game to make the playoffs, 7 seed upset 2 seed, 7 seed upset the 6 seed warriors and current champions, potentially upset the 1 seed, and Boston (a 2 seed) if they face them as well.. This championship run will never be topped. Bron would not have Home court advantage in ANY SERIES THIS YEAR!! 🤯
But if he wins this championship against the Miami Heat.. there will be 2 story lines to follow. 1. The league is so deep that a 7 and 8 seed faced off in the Finals after winning play in games 2. LeBron would have faced his former team in order to win a title. This would be like MJ as a wizard beating the Bulls en route to a title.
4:05 I keep telling folks. The LAL have been in and through the mud this season. You have to LOCK-IN like no other in order to get to this point. People thought I was crazy when I said LAL over GSW in 5-6. But if you've been awake, you'd see exactly what the Lakers are doing.

@@jayfairman3570 They were the defending champions with that same squad, and favored to win. So yes, it was an upset the Lakers won, so...
We were a 13th seed at all star break! Now we are in the conference finals crazy
relax he has to get through probably the most underrated number one seed of all time the nuggets were consistently the best team in the west for a reason
The run the lakers needed to go on just to make it to the play - in was IMPOSSIBLE. everyone counted us out before memphis
Most impressive? Yes because it’s the least expected from start to finish of the season. That is by definition the most impressive because of difficulty.
But GREATEST in his career? No because the impact of this ring would be little to nothing. It would actually be the least important ring of his career. His most important ring, his greatest one, would be 15-16 season by far.
But even his first ring with the Lakers is more important because it showed that Lebron could go anywhere and win a ring. Even out of his prime.
His first ring with Miami is by far more important for obvious reasons. And then his 2nd ring with Miami because it proved the first one wasn’t a fluke (which was necessary due to his terrible finals performance the season prior).
This ring for people who have Jordan as the GOAT, will not change their opinion. So the impact is negligible.
You make solid points. I do think a ring this years would have a bigger impact than you suggest for the fact that he's 38 years old. And although he might not be the best player on his team, he is clearly the leader, is easily the most consistent, and could be the best player if he asserts himself. I also think a W this year would sway some who said they wouldn't be swayed.
@@haywood0457 That just makes it the most impressive. The impact of this on his career is what exactly? To prove his longevity or he is always the leader of his teams? Those are already well proven. Really the only thing his career can gain at this point is undeniably the GOAT. And this isn’t changing MJ supporters’ minds because he still has less rings and they will always say 6/6 is better than whatever Lebron can do at this point.
Why Steven A say that about Swagus glasses you could tell he wishes he was there instead of at work 😂
Big perk growing right before our eyes .
Ima start off by saying I’m biased as a Lakers fan that this would be his best championship over the 2016 one, considering his age, the start of the season, breaking Kareem’s record, having to be in win now mode since the trade deadline, defeating the defending champions, just to be in the WCF is impressive to me, he can also give LA #18, can’t go wrong with either tbh tho
He had 51 the following year after they added KD not the series they’re discussing.
Yeah 2018 game 1 was when he had 51
2:19…had me 🥺🥹
Stephen A went from the Lakers would lose in the first round, to Steph would pass him on Mt. Rushmore if he beat Bron, to now saying this’ll be Brons most impressive championship. Ya love to see it
So, since Lebron surpassed expectations once again by beating the #2 seed and Steph, does he now go up higher in his rankings? And, does Steph now drop in his rankings? Alot of these media personalities are 100% biased agaisnt Lebron. Like, how is guy that has literally most impressive individual NBA accolades already going to be replaced on Mount Rushmore by Steph. If Lebron was Steph, they be saying he's about Top 25-30 All-time now lol, but since he's Steph nobody cares that he lost. They'll just quietly stop talking about him till he's playing well again and in a winning situation if that ever even happens again... Lebron been the GOAT since 2016. And, he's done so much more since then, media just keeps pushing the goal post everytime he surpasses expectations and does the impossible... Notice how Stephan A was quick to highlight a self-inflicted ejection/1 game suspension by Draymond. And a weak injury to Iguadala who still was healthy enough to play in all 7 games that series averaging 34min and a whopping 9pts. Imagine trying to diminish that championship coming back down 3-1 vs a 73-9 Warriors team but then pretending like in 2015 When Love was out the "entire series" and Kyrie couldn't even finish game 1 before going down the rest of that series too. Somehow media is okay with adding that to Steph's resume and counting that as a true/fair loss for Lebron. Steph was so underwhelming that series they decided to give Finals MVP to Iguadala. Lebron the only Superstar to get nitpick like this at any point in his career even at age 38. Even with MJ most media just pretends his days with the Wizards don't when he was still only in year 14 and 15. To put that into context Steph is currently in year 14 and still in his prime and truly one of the best players in the league. KD is in year 16 and still truly one of the best players in the league. And, tbh Steph in year 14, KD in year 16, and Lebron in year 20 were all significantly better players than MJ in year 14 and 15. Level of competition got significantly harder in the mid-late 2000's and got even harder in 2010's and just continues to get harder and more talented every year. MJ extremely overrated, (not in his era, he is the goat there) but when you compare to players from this era, his player comparison/ceiling is Demar Derozon at best tbh
LeBron just making the Finals in 2018 is more impressive than winning a title this year. That was the single greatest individual (EMPHASIS on individual) playoff performance of all time, 2nd being his 2016 performance despite winning the title in that year and not in 2018.
I need Swagu on more NBA!
Preach!! 7:57
Hot Take (and off-topic): LeBron's greatest accomplishments aren't championship runs -- it's the 2007 & 2018 runs where he got teams that had absolutely no business in the playoffs all the way to the finals. Then dropping 51-8-8 in game 1 vs the greatest team of all time, and almost stealing another game in game 3? That 2018 run, despite not winning it all, is more memorable than any other run outside of maybe 2016.
not greatest accomplishment they said greatest championship run would only
I fully agree with you cause 2018 a don was the best Bron we’ve ever seen even though Miami bron was more complete
Swagu had Stephen A stuttering 😂😂
When he's retired and look at his championships, I think this one would be the greatest. It has the best storyline(s). In the moment during each of the Finals tho the 3-1 comeback was the greatest
Nuggets in 5 🔥🔥..lebron not making nomore finals
I thought he was going to say from the nation of Japan 😂😂
Hilarious because I thought it was the front office job to put the team together to win a title?
players job to play weirdo still gotta perform miss with that nonsense I'm sure you were one of them who thought we were not reaching the playoffs
Also ad has been the most important player for the lakers don’t be casually saying stuff like this big dog 😂.
Lebron's cavs wasn't just the first team in the finals to come back from 3-1, but against one of the greatest teams of all time in the 73-9 gsw. I would put this as 2nd if he wins the chip this season

Man the 2016 is the greatest title hands down. 3-1 in the Finals comeback which was never done.
That Cleveland championship still is the best thing I've seen.. if he wins this, this gon be his 2nd best..
If he wins this ring it will be worth 2 rings.
2016 is still the best one because being down 3-1 and they had to go up against arguably the best regular season team ever 73-9 record GSW.
They say that now but a month later they'll say Lakers had the easiest path to a ring
Cause they’re right. Grizzlies and Warriors are weak. Nuggets should win (otherwise they’re also weak)

It would definitely be for me.
3 peat at 40 years old at least
2017 is literally the greatest championship of all time coming back 3-1 in his home state against a 73-9 record breaking team. It’s literally not even comparable
It is the _greatest_ championship, yes, but when you include this year's Lakers entire run from 2-10, to 13th in the West, dealing with injuries all season long, retooling the entire roster midway through the season, then going on a historic run to squeek it to the play-in & make the playoffs, then go through the entire gauntlet of the West, taking out the #1 & #2 seeds & the defending champs Warriors, as a _#7 seed,_ as well as a really good team in the East... yes, this run would be more _impressive_ but not _greater._ There is a difference.

Nuggets vs Celtics is gonna be great. Celtics have home-court but Nuggets have Jokic. I think it goes 7. Not sure who wins the title.
Ain’t that your brother perk? Carry on 😂😂
Nothing will surpass that 3-1 comeback deficit from the record breaking 73 wins from the Warriors.
38 year old chip is unreal bro
Even as a Laker fan I still think his 2016 championship would be more impressive than this one. The 2016 Cavs were a worse team then the current Lakers and they had to play the 73-9 Warriors and get single handedly carried by Lebron to come back from a 3-1 deficit in the craziest finals thriller ive ever seen.
Not even close to CLE beating the 73-9 Warriors. C’mon now…let’s be real.
Nobody:
Molly: Are those prescription?
One thing I wish Swagu or Perk would have called out Stephen A on was When he talks about LeBron winning the championship in 2016 coming back from 3-1 He always talks about how the suspension and the injuries help LeBron win that championship.
But when he talks about Steph Curry when he his first championship against LeBron in 2015 he just says Steph Curry beat LeBron in 2015 for the NBA Championship He doesn't even bring up That Kevin Love was out for the rest of the playoffs by round one because he got his arm yanked out of his shoulder by Kelly Olynyk when they play Boston, or with Kyrie cracked his knee cap in overtime in the Game 1 in the Finals.
And if you bring that up they always say it's an excuse for LeBron losing in the Finals but let any superstar lose their star or superstar partner on their team for the remainder of the playoffs I don't think anybody could overcome that. Not even the legendary Michael Jordan would get over that if Scottie Pippen was out for any of their title runs
A miracle involves some sort of luck in my opinion but they have actually outplayed the grizzlies & the defending champs.
His Cavs ring will probably go down as one of the best in history.. Historic comeback down 3-1 against a 73-9 team. Steven A smoking that Kush.
How about the goats of commentating? Stephen A Smith & Skip Bayless. These guys are the MJ and Bird of TV debates, absolutely incredible.
