Did the Nuggets win last night ? Based off ESPN I have no clue...seems to be the Lakers Network
Lol. Lakers will still be a topic for the next couple rounds, even though they're not there.
No the title tells you bro
dont worry. we are all gonna hear about KD and lebron not being able to get it doen and giannis as well till the end of the playoff
ESPN most darlings are always the Lakers.
Dude, that's enough. You know Lakers are the biggest franchise in sports. If you hate it then just don't watch it man
Never seen a losing team get so much coverage 😂😂😂
That’s what LeBRonSpN does and will continue to do so.
Cuz you'll watch it and many others. The numbers don't lie
If I had to guess, Lakers as a franchise + having Lebron helps a ton, probably holds around 15-20 percent of nba revenue when it comes to ratings lol
Did you watch the Iowa women’s college game? They got paraded around like they 3peated and went undefeated
It's absurd at this point..
Still tryna build a team around a 40 year old is crazy
According to ESPN:
There's 2 NBA teams
There's 3 NFL teams
There's 2 MLB teams
And hockey doesn't exist
How dare you forget the Clippers. Lol.
Just one addition to your fine comment sir:
According to ESPN:
There's 4 WNBA teams

Lebron should go to the nuggets
@@MrOBJECTIVETRUTH he’s not kd he’d never think of that. Kd is currently working on a contract with the twolves since they knocked him out of the playoffs.
😂😂😂. He will not win another title and no one cares.
Listening to this segment, the whole conversation seems to be about getting LeBron ring 5 instead of getting the Lakers ring 18. I think that’s been their problem
that's the problem with the NBA today, it's all about the players instead of the team
Well the question is can Lebron win with the Lakers and they all said no. They never talked about getting the Lakers 18 because that wasn’t what the prompt was about.
So they can debate who's the goat with past players to get ratings
It’s a player driven league
Well, if lebron gets his fifth ring, lakers get their 18th. So they go hand in hand
As the playoffs continue, ESPN will still constantly talk about a team that was knocked out in the first round. 🙄
Sorry but we are a business. We have to talk about what is going to get the most views if we want to maximize our profits.
That’s what they do.

The lakers are not sniffing the finals with how stacked the Western Conference is rn😭😭
Bron might as well head back out east
Go the Knicks back to the east they just one more guy yo bring them chip
Is his best chance with the Knicks
Lebron should do what he is good at..move to the east wnd stay away from champion team..so he can reach final again..
If they can land Donovan Mitchell or maybe Trae Young I wouldn’t rule them out

Big facts
@willsportz not to mentioned the guy’s way past his prime. He’s not a two way player anymore.
Because they are dumbasses that think they know what they are talking about. Especially the loud one with the dying hairline
As it is...AD & LeBron's salaries ate up just over half the team limit & the rest was split on the 13 other players. Imagine if they sign another high priced star?
@@kaferrat nothing . They’re still underdogs.
So ESPN what you saying is Lebron needs again MORE help! Same narrative again and again - when Lebron wins, he is the GOAT. When Lebron loses, it's not his fault because his team sucks and he needs more help.
He only needs 2 1/2 players in order to secure that coveted 10th spot next year.
When SA and Unc started talking about still running, Windy got quiet.
I never seen the media this desperate to see a player win a ring
I’m sayin..smh
And we love that he will never get another one. 😂
Bc Lebron is the corporate sponsored phony GOAT they are paid to talk about!
@@badvibes__watch him go to the Knicks 😭☠️
Never. It’s crazy
Lakers: 27 FTs
Nuggets: 9 FTs
And they still lost hahahahha
The refs did their part to help the cause...
The refs literally tried to keep the Lakers in it 😂😂😂
The Nuggets don’t attack the basket at the same rate as the Lakers.
@@Auragamis Just look at FT discrepancies for 2023-2024, for every other team in the NBA compared to LA Lakers.
Something is very wrong in those stats.
Almost like the Refs are favoring the Lakers, similar to what the media are doing here.
Honestly, it would be so poetic as a final chapter if LeBron and Steph team up
No just stop
Lakers sign Klay for a small contract to come off the bench. Sign a properly sized, athletic big who can eat out the glass, get Vando healthy, draft Bronny (keep Kang happy) and get a couple of lengthy 3 and D bois. We got dis!

check the stats, Lebron had the same ppg this series as AD. If lebron and AD play just as good as Jokic and Jamal, then the problem is the team around them. They don't have an MPJ or an Aaron Gordon, and probably the sorriest excuse for a coach.

AD is the best player currently on the Lakers c'mon now
@@dieselprime33no,lebron still the best on the team.He’s also the most clutch,had 14 4th quarter points in game 4,AD is arguably better but crumbles under pressure
Denver is the best boring team in the world the Spurs 2.0 I understand why they talk about the Lakers more because rating would go down because no body but the people in Denver want to hear about the Nuggets. Labraun by himself is more interesting. Yall stop asking questions you already no the answer to.
@@jtwayne5958Can’t disagree. To be honest at times, I do really feel like Denver scores easy. Do mind that scoring at the NBA level is already hard enough, but they make it look easy. I think the T-Wolves would probably outmatch the Nuggets. The Lakers leading every game at half, and then Denver making a comeback is commendable. Against, Minnesota I don’t see it happening as often, maybe 1 or 2 games, but not as in this one.
@eternum4141 I totally agree Denver has 3 true Bigs they can throw on Joker and they have better perimeter defense as soft as Rudy has been in his career this is the toughest I have seen him play especially with this supporting cast it's not gone be as many offensive boards this series.

The lakers live in the paint. Of course they are going to have more free throws. Get the hate out your heart playa!
@@beamernz1 statically, Lakers doesn't live in the paint any more than the average team. Do some actual research.
@@beamernz1where do u think Jokic (the best player in the league and a Center) plays most of the time?? The PAINT. He shot the same amount of ft’s as u and I. He played over 40 mins and grabbed 20 rebounds. Think about that for a sec. How does that happen?! Without being fouled once?
Man you a casual or just a bron hater
@LetItFly69 it’s the different between finesse and brute force. LA tends to bang into you when the score. Jokic just scores effortlessly over the top. He doesn’t shoot many free throws because usually there’s no contact on his shot unless the defender bites in a fake.
“Purple and fold” 😂
The rotation of players wasn’t the problem with Darvin Ham it’s him not knowing when to call a timeout or challenge a play. And not knowing how to call situational plays
Or sit a player down when that player is not giving 100% or struggling with their shots...
@@thomaslong8448 exactly!!
Glad he mentioned those box outs. Was wondering if I was overreacting while yelling at the TV and blaming the loss on those two missed box outs
ESPN needs give nuggets credit instead of making excuses for bron.
Nobody cares about the nuggets

Will never happen
Chill. Let nuggets walk to another 2 chips. It will be 2026 then maybe, just maybe, they might start talking about the role KCP and Bruce Brown played in Nuggets being a dynasty.
Isn't Dwight Howard still a good enough option?

What’s ridiculous is thinking that the Lakers had a chance to win this year.
Has there ever been an athlete that has had more excuses made for them when they lose? There was multiple times in each game, LeBron didn't cross half court on defense, saving energy for offensive stats.
Right
What was he supposed to do exactly, average 50 ppg and be prime Dennis Rodman on defense???? I don’t remember anybody crying about Jordan not playing defense at 39 and he missed the playoffs entirely. If u actually look at the stats for the series the only ppl who actually upped their level of play was Lebron, AD, and Austin Reaves. Literally everyone else on the roster that played averaged less points in this series than they did the whole regular season.
Lmao dude he’s 39
@@adh2298dude talking bout him not even tryna get back on defense and u really ask what he supposed to do 😂 u Lebron fans have a losers mentality
@@adh2298Jordan won more games at 40 than lebron at 38-39. And Jordan didn’t have AD and everything. Jordan was still the best player on his team on the wizards.

Technically lebron didn’t even make playoffs last couple years it’s just Silver lowered the bar to make playoffs. Learn bball dude

Y’all need Dwight and Andre Drummond 😂😂😂😂
Hachimora missed 2 huge wide open 3s yesterday. If he made those 2 shots or even 1 of them they probably would have won game 5.
Jamal Murray and SGA gonna be lethal for Canada team
Never seen a 🐐 that always needs help, every year, it’s help, then more help and only 3 and a possible championship to show for it. Salute to MJ, the real 🐐
That’s because he’s no GOAT. Think about it he matched 90% of Jordan’s failures but not his successes. Jordan’s been swept 2x vs LeBron’s 3x, Jordan missed the playoffs 2x (Wizards years) vs LeBron 3x, Jordan was 1-9 without Pippen vs LeBron 1-8 WITH AD. Now when you look at the successes Jordan 6/6 in the Finals vs LeBron’s 4/10, Jordan 6x FMVP vs LeBron 4x, Jordan 5x MVP vs LeBron 4, Jordan 9x All Defensive First Team vs LeBron’s 5x, Jordan 10x scoring champion vs LeBron’s 1x, Jordan 3x steals leader vs LeBron 1x assist leader, Jordan 1x DPOY vs LeBron’s 0. But yet people want to say he surpassed Jordan due to longevity numbers
@@suntansuperman26 the only longevity number really is total points and playoff games played. Bron also has way more turnovers than MJ way more losses in the playoffs than MJ. Christ Bron only shoots 32% outside of 3'.

I see SAS and Shannon have great chemistry working together. Way better than Max Kellerman or Skip.
Like I been said either for it to work lakers would have needed a PF that can rebound and shoot and have AD as the Center. Rui didn’t step up. Every big rebound we needed Gordon took it. Rui couldn’t hit an open shot to save his life.
He's supposed to be G.O.A.T. tier, but the media is always trying to come up with ideas to build a team for him to succeed.

And shooters and the greatest coach of all time
Pippen was more than a Semi All Star though, he was a Swiss Knife type All Star imo. But i agree he didn't need as much help as the self proclaimed goat, and still got more rings in less years...
Phil was an assistant and became a great coach with the Bulls and Jordan, he didn’t arrive as a great coach. Also, Pippen is one of if not the most overrated basketball player of all time.
Yeah but no one was shooting threes like they are now. This is a completely different league now.

@@jmoore0386 'could be'
Not a word spoken about how well the Nuggets played. As usual ESPN only cares about a handful of teams and provides no analytical coverage of the sport at all.
Ya! The thing is there are a lot of casual fans now bc the NBA is just not as good/competitive anymore bc of Lebron & all the team hopping & clicking up. Imo, once the Warriors won 73 games & didn’t win the chip, the regular season stop mattering & has affected the league negatively…
Jokic played a perfect series .
Murray ( although hobbled) was clutch.
Porter Jr. was fantastic too.
Honestly it’s because they don’t believe the Nuggets played well. All I heard the commentators talk about was how Denver was yet to have a good game. What they really meant was that they didn’t see Denver go nuts the way they did against LA last year. Jamal Murray, as great as he was late in games, was just his average self this series. He wasn’t the super hero he was last year, but everyone expected him to be. Jokic was Jokic. The Denver bench was as bad if not worse than the LA bench. Denver played as well as they could against a tough opponent. I expect their time against the wolves to be a little smoother.
Sure they played well lol by winning 2 pts because they should not have challenge that last call , and A davis getting hurt, right
There is nothing new about Nuggets. They have been consistent beating 11-0 on Lakers. Other David & LBJ. They did not have the 3rd guy! They lost by 2
I like this trio 😅
The unsung heroes of the 2020 lakers chip was Javalle McGee and Dwight Howard. They bodied up Jokic and allowed AD to roam. And Murray was hurt
LeBron is next to another top 10 player in AD. Jokic does not. You can argue Ant is in the top 10 this season but KAT and Gobert are not. How much more help does LeBron need?
Playoff Jamal is top 10.
we going to ignore the team around these guys? Lebron and AD outplayed Jokic and Jamal. But they couldn't make up for MPJ or aaron gordon with the inconsistency of their other starters.
He needs role players to contribute
I sure as hope someone helps curry win another chip my warriors needs some help Curry needs another star or 2 to win another chip
Jamal is definitely top 5 in the playoffs. 2 game winners in this series alone. Without those 2 Lakers might be leading 3-2 rn
