It’s so funny how none of the players who were THERE discredit the legitimacy of the bubble. As a Lakers fan, it’s refreshing.
But lakers fans themselves discredit it
You tripping Kobe would've discredited it 😂 d
Soft!!!
@@jerey53So the guy who's known as an ultimate competitor wouldn't have competed to win, if he had played in the bubble ?
@steviejay868 Nope, it's not competing when you control the narrative. The bubble wasn't meant to happen. LeBron pushed for it hard so that he could control the narrative. No fans, no homecourt advantages he ain't won another since make that make sense the bubble was the softest play-off run ever Kobe would've competed but not counted it guaranteed 💯
@@steviejay868thank you bra when I here shit like that it let me know they really didn’t know Kobe. Kobe took regular games on Tues and Thursday like it was a playoff game. 😭😭😭 Kobe was the true definition for try hard 😭😭😭. He would’vejwent to the bubble and treated it like he did the Olympics 😭😭😭💀😭
I can’t wait for “The Bubble” documentary, movie, or both!
"Millionaire athletes living in a 5 star Disney resort while playing basketball". That sounds like a nightmare.
@@FibaFanatic🤣🤣🤣 lmao
During a world pandemic
@@bridgeboysdk4915 That did not affect one player by losing a love one
Yall want a documentary about everything 😂
Bubble Ball was some of the best basketball I’ve EVER seen.
Legit they had no fans, but pure focus to win
Yep. It was just as intense as 24 Hour Fitness pick up ball.
Ya reaching nobody’s looking up bubble highlights ☠️🤣
@@wayne1698you should be.
I mean, that was the crazy Nuggets-Jazz Murray-Mitchell series right? But beyond that, it seemed pretty standard.
"He cant fuckin guard me! God Damnit!" - bubble CJ McCollum
Ngl, my favorite memory of the bubble was that pic of Melo tapping his head screaming with the girl on the screen in the background do the same thing. Shit is tuffffffffff
How do I find that pic
The Bubble was professional basketball at its purest !
😂
Absolutely. That's why so many averages heightened. Facts!!
@@Ariusfivedueceaverages were heightened because there was no pressure from fans. tj warren never played good after the bubble lmfao
@@mvtttttNow you understand why team practices are the most competitive games nba players will ever play in😂. Everyone had the same opportunity to ball out
Yep! Even the bench players was hooping.
I liked the bubble. It was cool hearing the players on the court.
I love hearing my Melo
💯
This host Mero cannot stop talking and interrupting his guest.
Dude thinks people tune in to watch him
My lady and i stayed at the Coronado Springs Hotel for a week, where the players stayed, a couple years ago. We met a old man who worked there and he told us that he kept certain players Disney Magic wrist bands, such as Lebron. The man hit a jackpot.
In season tournament should be in the bubble every year
They'll never do that because of money. Ticket sales.
That would be FIRE
I'm in Vegas,...... it's just fine here 😝🙌
You might be onto something 😂
@@nateilebodeyou didn’t watch the video 😂😂mero literally said it
Mero " It was weird for me too. I was watching the game on a laptop"😂😂😂
This was a good take on the bubble . Everyone had to show up or else you gonna look soft to your peers basically . On some Jail shyt fr LOL
I am curious to your opinion on the Lakers bubble chip. I think it’s the 2nd hardest for Bron because everyone has no home field advantage. Now listening to this kind of points that way. What’s your opinion? Not a Bron fan either. Want to make sure I add that.
@@centinelyork I remember how it was . Everyone thought they was gonna die so to me that was tough . Also they had to play and focus only on basketball in there . Unless you was Lou Williams LOL
@@centinelyorknaw the blazers and nuggets complained about the officiating when playing the lakers. It was a hurry up and give Lebron a title experience
@@Dipset415bro this is a fake narrative with nooooo real proof or evidence behind it
@@Dipset415players complian at the time stop
The Bubble Runs were pretty crazy
CJ McCollum, Devin Booker, Luka and Jimmy legends were born in the bubble
You forgot Bubble Murray
Lmfao @ the Mero hate in here 😂 😂 😂
Players that performed loved it. Players that didnt, hated it.
Generic BS you made up. Butler & Lebron both hated it…
You still have time to delete this
Damn bruh let Melo and Kemba talk lol
Guys in the NBA said the bubble was tougher than traditional NBA games, that’s all I need to know. Had to be tough
No they didnt🤣🤣🤣 Listen again dummy. They said playing without fans is EASIER. But living away from family & you cant go anywhere was hard
🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢
@@lucianodadon7822 Well lets just put it in perspective. Have you ever played football and been to a week long camp? Away from home. Cant do what you want to do like normal and following an itenerary of things to do? By mid week the shit gets old and you ready to leave. Now imagine them being in the bubble for longer. Shit gets old doing the same thing everyday and you gotta focus on winning.
@@pmontyjaaaymes488 bro that shit was nothing but high level AAU y’all are not going to trick me ….you had dudes in there that played like Jordan as soon as things went back to Normal I.e fans road games/pressure dudes haven’t been seen or heard from since
Yeah 4 star hotel. Room service. Sounds tough for sure
Dude in the blue super cringy, like let them elaborate with no interruptions bruh damn
Covid highlighted the importance of fans in every sport not just the nba
Not really it was good to see a change for once
@@anubis3963it was terrible without the fans energy!
Yet the know millions are watching anyway….
@@ethanhuntemcee1663It was great!
@@anubis3963 at the time I was just happy to have anything on TV lol hearing all the players was cool. But I wouldn't want it to happen again
Pure basketball. No distractions. One location and separated the mentally weak from the strong.
watching the bubble was a magical time
That ny accent so crazy kemba an melo sound alike
This show would be amazing WITHOUT Mero
Kemba need to take Mero spot on the pod
Dude in blue is a tough listen.
Mero take forever to ask a question. Cmon fam.
Mero be laughing like a groupie in these pods 😂
😂 😂 😂
He’s annoying, would be better without him.
Deadass
I enjoyed watching the bubble.
The Bubble was some of the best and purest basketball I've witnessed.
Mero can’t pose a question without it being complete word vomit
Yeah i was thinking an in season tournament in the bubble would be dope
Will never forget watching old nba classics wondering if we’ll ever see new nba basketball again and then the bubble happened, helped us all through the pandemic
7PM👊🏾 LMCPGMARLEY TAPPING IN 💯💪🏾🔥🔥
Kobe would’ve avg 40 in the bubble, I’m not even a Kobe fan but I kno that’s his environment, rec type vibe, knowing all the top players are present and watching Kobe would’ve exposed a lot of players in that bubble
Would have took him 50 shots to get there 💀
The guy in the blue talks too much during the interviews and cuts off the speaker a lot, he is kinda silly(not funny tho. . .) he needs to let the guest and Melo get into the weeds in terms of basket talk. That’s what we want to hear, the nuanced details of a Melo and Kemba conversation from hoopers perspective ; not dude in the blue’s irritating nervous laughter, like he’s sucking up to them IJS, RNT
THANK YOU
Why you say "the guy in the blue" like his name is not in the show title? 😅🤦🏻♂️
@@joshuacolon3893 believe it or not I didn’t know that. And as crazy as it sounds I’m not trying to be disrespectful, just honest constructive criticism. Not really a fan of Melo’s game, but see another side of him through this show and he’s winning me over. As I hear things from His perspective. Like the show, just wanna hear more from the guest, when the guest and Melo are talking let them breathe, some of the things the guests and Melo say when the conversation is drawn out a little is interview gold. Brodie, just gotta let the ‘ballers talk that talk’. That’s all playa 🤷🏿
Kemba! Missed him! He should still be in the league. Monster!
Love the bubble
Bubble was dope one of the best basketball I ever watched
They should do the in season tournament like an expanded bubble. One location like Vegas for 1-2 weeks of nothing but competitive hoop. Bubble ball was some of the best I’ve seen these guys play.
They marketed the bubble wrong
They shouldve made it the real life hunger games
The guantlet
Just PURE BASKETBALL
It was. Wtf are you talking about? Did they bowl for the chip or something?
Ngl I personally liked it , because we had ball in the summer
Great convo!
MAN I THOUGH LEBRON WAS TEACHING US THE WORD TREE IN SPANISH!!! Lmao
Sounds like a big AAU tourney 😂🔥
The in season tournament in the Bubble but only for the final 4 teams
Rudy,Melo, and Kemba would win in the big 3.
We need a bubble every summer
Mero don’t know when to cut it off, or stop interjecting. Buddy hella goofy
Dame was crazy in the bubble
If anyone else but the lakers won the bubble chip people would praise it
They need to do an outside “black top” NBA game, each team gets atleast 1 game like that
The in season tournament is not a new idea. Silver got it from European Football (soccer). They have several in season tourney's throughout their regular season.
I thought he was gone say like they was bout to fight in the bubble
Actually I like the bubble. I say the play-in games should be in a bubble. Those should be the games they sell to Amazon, Peacock or whoever. Play-in literally means on the bubble of making the play off.
TJ Warren was hands down the Bubble MVP 😂
If Kemba Walker stay healthy in Boston ERA big chance get champion 🏆 ?
Every person from the bubble literally says it was PEAK COMPETITION
The bubble was straight hoops
Butler and nichols were bouncing the ball too loud in the room. Security came
“Bouncing the ball” 😂 ok haha
If you ask Bron it was like hell on earth
Steven Adams has the best take about The Bubble.
The bubble was in Orlando Florida
Kemba in the white sox head to toe?? 🔥
Easy fix the bubble is the sphere in Vegas create a crazy new experience and environment
Melo blowed 🤣🤣
Crazy how everyone who lost had a bad time in the bubble 😂😂
Would've been interesting seeing players like Kobe and MJ playing in the bubble straight killers walking around
I think the NBA missed an opportunity to put cameras in the bubble and show behind the scenes a little. Would’ve loved to see guys kinda hanging out playing cards for like 5g’s a hand. Cut to the bubble barber shop and CP3 and Rondo in there after their beef lmao
That would have required them to let more staff in to do the cameras and all the other equipment. While I agree it would have been amazing to be a fly on the wall in the bubble, it wasnt really an opportunity for the nba to have missed on.
GOOD PARK RUN 😂
There was no real pressure like a real game in the bubble. These were scrimmages lol
You could have fans come in but confine the players during the tourney
Some of the best basketball ive seen was in the bubble. Everybody was hooping.
The Bubble was some the best basketball I ever watched! The games the conversation between players. Just ball, no distractions, just play ball! And all the players respect what took place there. Only LeBron/Laker haters try to discredit it...
U haven't watched much basketball its ok
@@daniell5740 I've been watching basketball since 83... You just don't know good basketball, it's ok...
@robert.mills5 lol no u havent kid
😂😂 must not have watched much
@@daniell5740 just because you don't know basketball has nothing to do with me
What shoes is Melo wearing?
In season tournament in the bubble LMFAO
"relationships were built in the bubble" I heard some but I tellin y'all about em
Lakers only mfs to think bubble was legit 😂 everyone was on vacation no one but the Lakers took it serious
They hate because LeBron, when that documentary drops it’s going to be legendary
I liked the onsite tournament type of playoff. I realize why the league owners won't do it but I just like it better than the current system.
You want to F over every home fan in the league? Watch your team all year, then dont get to watch the playoffs damn
Mero with the dumbest suggestion ever to bring the bubble back
I like Melo, no doubt but his co-host is goody AF!! Giggling after every sentence...man smh
They told us lakers fans the bubble wasnt real L O L
The world’s greatest basketball camp haha
I don’t question the Lakers bubble title because it was in the bubble. AD was hurt when the Covid break started. The Lakers would not have been healthy in the playoffs to make that run
You could make that claim about a lot of teams, Lakers were in first place when play stopped, Davis didn’t have a season ending injury. All teams got the same rest so they’d just be rested even more by your logic. It doesn’t just affect the Lakers. Then Lakers were actually one of the only teams that missed a rotation player in Avery Bradley. But to act like the Lakers are the only team to have benefitted from rest when all players did is a horrible take.
@@Supreme36074 This. Exactly this. People act like the covid break was some sort of looney toons secret sauce for the lakers while everyone else was still playing basketball and getting injured. No one was playing, so there was valid reason to get injured or banged up. Everyone got to rest, everyone got to ease into it with the final games of the regular season. If you would have told me I had to eat shitty cafeteria food and stay in a hotel for a YEAR to do nothing but play ball and get paid for it, I would have taken it in an instant. Throw in the fact the world was shut down anyway and I would have doubled down on taking that deal.
There are 0 legitimate reasons to discredit the bubble over any other season.
Mero just gotta be quiet as they’re telling story. The extra jokes just don’t need to be told at those times.
Feel Iike it would have felt like a open gym just at the highest level
"a lot of relationships" -melo
Keep it a stack: The Bubble only hated cause Bron won.
Holy shit Metro, please just be quiet and let them talk for christs sake
i love hearing the players talk about their experience in the bubble. It solidifies the chip that year as one of if not the hardest to win.
The bubble was great to me because it reminded me of 2k Rec games. No REAL fans there but all the noise like it’s a packed game… mfs talking KING shit but instead of on the mic, it’s in real life lol and then you had mfs in there that ended up balling because they had a different mindset so sorry mfs was lookin decent in that atmosphere JUST because they knew they had nothing to lose
Melo lebron homie but trying to clown the bubble 😂
The bubble was great! Discrediting it is a trash take. The world was at a standstill. It was purely about hooping, everyone watching you. There was nothing else for people to do but watch. Most people didn’t leave their homes for weeks. That was a crazy time. I appreciate those guys going there to play, and give us something to do.
Definitely a legacy play for Adam Silver. The in season tournament will be around forever and down the line will count on your resume. I watch a lot of European soccer and it reminds me of the cups the teams fight for during the season.
You wasn’t there bro. Just be quiet and listen. Let them talk
Lmfao 😂
Facts!
Melos co host is that guy in nba circle who thinks is cool with nba players but in reality is just friends with 1 guy
AND WHATS SO CRAZY ABOUT THE BUBBLE IS THAT PEOPLE HATE LEBRON SOOOOO MUCH THEY SAY IT WAS AND IS THE WEAKEST CHAMPIONSHIP EVER. LMMFAO SHIT IS UNREAL
10 players have said its way easier without fans… What does Lebron have to do with facts
@@clutch7548ten players out of how many??? ITS CLEAR YOU DIDNT PLAY BASKETBALL AT ANY COMPETITIVE LEVEL. I DID. PLAYED FOR CASH, HICH SCHOOL, AGAINST COLLEGE PLAYERS, AGAINST OVER SEAS PLAYERS, AND PENITENTIARY BALL. PLAYING BASKETBALL WITHOUT A CROWD MEANS NOBODY HAS THE CROWD TO GIVE THEM THAT BOOST. NOBODY AT HOME OR AWAY MEANING NO HOMECOURT ADVANTAGE OF SHOOTING ON YOUR OWN GOALS. NO FAMILY, NO GOING OUTSIDE, CANT REALLY TALK TO ANYONE CAUSE OF THE VIRUS WAS JUST EXTRA ADDED ON TO THE ENVIRONMENT. THATS WHEN ONLY YOUR SKILLS GONE SHINE AND THE BEST TEAM WILL WIN. THATS WHY ITS SOO HARD TO WIN ON THE ROAD WHEN YOU PLAY IN A LEAGUE CAUSE OF HOME COURT ADVANTAGE AND BEING THAT IT WAS MR EVERYBODY WANNA HATE EVERYTHING LEBRON DO IS THE ONLY REASON THEY SAY THE FANS SAY THE BUBBLE WASNT LEGIT. AND THATS FACTS I CAN PULL UP WAAAAAYYY TOO MANY MORE PLAYERS EXPRESSING WHAT IM SAYING OVER YOUR WEAK COMMENT.
Bubble ball was an AAU tournament
😂😂😂Yeah ok.
Only casuals discredit the bubble when all pros say how hard it was.. it’s insanity
Why didnt you talk about the escort and tuci
