Quinn Cook is about to be a FORMER LAKER thanks to December 15th Trade Season. 😀😀😀 Coach Vogel rather go with a player that spent 80% of last season in the G-League, Alex Caruso instead of Quinn Cook because Cook is a major defensive liabilities. Multiple games where Cook doesn't even play = DNP-Coaches decision Trade Quinn Cook for a YOUNG BULL attacking-style point guard that can get stars like Luka Doncic in foul trouble OFF-THE-DRIBBLE.
@@aerialkiller5948 Yeah he is a good shooter, but shot are less efficient and cause less momentum than dunks do. If AD is forced to shoot and work for all of his points instead of being able to dunk and post up an offense whenever he,wants, his efficiency and numbers will provably drop.
@@victordwyer1018 But even then it's still hard to force him to do that. He's a strong dude with great footwork and a variety of moves he's very good at it that makes it hard to keep him away from the basket.
@Tone Dawg it's true those skills learned as a guard has helped his career but I just hate it when AD forgets he's now a big man, dribbles too long and turns it over. Fortunately it doesn't happen too much!
And he has a better team including a GOAT that demands attention and frees up Davis. He has definitely made another jump this season. A great team elevates every player
I love this version of Bron, it’s so calm and controlled. It’s not him giving the ball to another player and watching them do their thing, it’s like watching Magic being able to score like MJ but still playing like Magic cause it’s easy. Don’t get it twisted though, y’all know LeBron turning it all the way on come playoffs. This is like 75/80 percent of LeThanos
0:29 the only thing that makes this still an argument is they haven't won a ring together yet. Davis is by far the teammate that pairs best with Lebron out of anyone else he has played with. Kyrie was too iso, Wade past his peak at that point, and Bosh and Love don't have the skillset AD does, not even close.
Lebron James would not have a Championship Ring in Cleveland WITHOUT Kyrie Irving. 😀😀😀 Right now Lebron James wishes he had Kyrie Irving so he could get more LOAD MANAGEMENT rest while still being on the court as a weakside decoy.
@@masteruc777 Too much really since the 80's. That's my problem. Now if you please, can you tell me how come assists are not a crappy stat, thanks and have a good day.
Lebron is finally letting out his inner Magic Johnson while being pressured to play like Air Jordan throughout his career. He looks to playmaking first and score 2nd. It just came natural to him. No, let me correct that. He looks to playmaking first ,second, third.
@@Ky8d He is like athletic version of Magic Johnson. He just isn't a natural scorer /killer mentality type like Jordan; LBJ looks to set up teammates first and score 2nd. Before Jordan won champ, Jordan was viewed as too selfish to win champs. After Jordan won champs, LBJ is viewed as not killer enough. People praised Magic as the ultimate unselfish super star, but they forgot he was called un-clutch Tragic Johnson after one final loss. There is a price to be paid playing in unselfish Magic Johnson mold. Glad Lebron is allowed to play the way he always wanted to play; the ultimate unselfish super star.
@@farisag5888 Jordan was a playmaker too and way better defender. Just cause you have more stats accumulated over the years doesn't make you better. Actually winning proves how good you are at actually doing it cause that's the goal.
@@elijahwilliams3728 Funny. But yet I bet you omit the season after MJ's suspension was lifted and he was tired of embarrassing himself in baseball he tried to big dick the league and come back just for the playoffs. Pray tell do you recall what happened when he did that? They got shit on by the Magic and then the Bulls ran to get one of the premier big men on the market in Dennis Fucking Rodman. So before we act like MJ is this prolific winner lets talk about all his first round exits and not just say "Hurrdurr 6-0" also before you get in your feelings I am not even an LBJ fan I just think brain dead MJ fans who act like he can walk on water are hilarious. If MJ was in todays game he would probably get kicked out the league for assaulting a teammate or something like when he punched the shit out of Steve Kerr hahah.
People wanted Lue to be the coach. Having watched virtually every Cavs game, every year under Lue that would have been a horrible idea. He really has no idea what he is doing out there and their lack of sets and plays was obvious. Instead the Lakers now have a defensive minded coach who is pushing them. Having Kidd right there is amazing as well
Wodz30 Ty Lue’s whole offensive gameplan during his tenure with the Cavs was to hunt down mismatches, no tactical/schematic variances whatsoever, Cavs were also one of the worst defensive teams IN HISTORY 17-18! Ty Lue was never a good coach!
@@kingalpha3358 the media ESPN said that they said clippers will be top in defensive and kawhi pg13 duo iz better than LeBron duo because of their defense
Atleast for the morons cause they actually believe that. Giannis and bucks just proved that they are not the best duo. Clippers can afford pg13 and kawhi to have a bad night but not sweet lou and monztrell and thats a fact specially if you try to count how many nights sweet lou and monztrell saved the whole clippers so far in this season.

I just hoping that Boogie could play this year. I would take Boogie over Mcgee. Mcgee would be horsepower off the bench with Dwight and Rondo facilitate them. Don't forget about Kuz and GOAT Carushow too
Similar to the Celtics from line of Parrish, McHale, and Bird. Bird was as good as Lebron at passing and a better shooter. McHale was at least as good as AD from 15 feet in. Parrish was a 20-10 guy for his career.
@@sugengpurnomo8887 i wouldnt be so optimistic about boogie. A torn Achilles for a big man like that is devastating. He sadly will never be the same player ever again. Kd might come back close to the same. But you just lose your ability to really push off the foot that got torn after that.
anil ramdin if its just about shooting they’re both fucking jokes compared to curry but its not its about the team game and in the team game lebron is the best
Why is nobody talking about the bucks. I’m a Celtics fan myself but the bucks have the same record as the Lakers, the bucks should be getting some respect
Coach you should do a segment just for rookies, maybe some of the lesser known guys. Who has potential, long term ceiling, ect. I think a lot of people would enjoy that. Anyways long time follower, love the channel.
Another great video Coach! Would love for you to get Gilbert "Agent Zero" Arenas in one of your videos. That man can break down attack patterns like no other. Would be a great collaboration!

I mean you put one of the most versatile bigs in the game with one of the best passers and highest basketball iq that is not easy to defend. I think the main issue with the Lakers is the inconsistency from 3 and AD's health history
shooting from 3 is just a bad idea for the entire league. Last year every team in the league missed 67% of attempted 3's. That is a very low efficiency, especially when some teams are taking 30+ 3's per game. It is much smarter to attack the interior as the Lakers can. It has been very smart for the Lakers to back off of 3 attempts and focus on what works, we see it paying huge dividends
Hey coach. Love watching your videos. I'm a raptors fan but would love you to dissect why the bucks have been so good. They are playing like the 73-9 warriors but in a completely different way
@@JustHere751 Great defense, with good spacing, great shooting, and a system that utilizes the strengths of their players. Sounds about like the formula that 73 win GS team used
@@bballbreakdown thank you coach. Although I love the raptors and going to Jurassic square was a treat I'm a bigger fan of basketball as a whole. The raptors eliminated the bucks last year but watching the bucks play this year shows there total improvement as a group. Other than Giannis I still can not see why they are so good. Middleton is hurt to and they lost brogdon. How on earth are they even better
@@hulkdaddy71 but it is more than that. When looking at there defence they've lost quality in the past off season in brogdon being traded and Middleton being injured. Their I'm improvement is nothing short of amazing. I'd be terrified to face this bucks team in the playoffs atm
This is a great vid but I wish there was more Westbrook Analysis on the channel. Coach Nick should start a series called, “shakin y head” starring westbrook.
Joel Embiid has load management but only Kawhi Leonard gets criticized for it because Lakers Nation is still salty he didn't choose their franchise. 🤣 When AD tears his ACL later on, blame load management for that.
We need to give the coaching staff more credit, they have been excellent. You know what makes this Lakers team so special, Every player has been trough some shit. U got AD that had no help for years when he played for the Pelicans so he is battle hardened, u got rondo that wont take shit from anybody even from Lebron, Green that has much experience with the Spurs and Raptors and shoots very well and plays A+ defense a perfect player for Lebron. Kuzma is a player Lebron took under his wing it feels like. This team is full with veterans and has a great chance to win the chip.
I love your usage of the word ‘tractor beam’. Is it weird that I imagined LeBron as a huge anime machine with weird factory doors closing sounds when you said that?
Haha Hu Kawhi is just struggling man and their offense is oretty stagnant, mostly relying on isos with Lou Will and post up with Kawhi and the occasional Down screen to free up PG
Lake Show and that too, when ur point guard is named Patrick Beverly u know damn well ur only getting defense at the point nothing else but some lucky wide open 3s
But Lebron is a better defender, stronger, faster, more agile, and more explosive on top of being a much more versatile and consistent scorer. only player in NBA history to have more than 11 consecutive seasons with 25ppg or more (16). The guys who compared him to Magic AND Jordan when he was in high school were more right than anyone ever knew. imagine telling someone in the 90s that one player would retire with more assists than Magic AND more points than Kareem. that will absolutely be Lebron he gonna finish with like 42k 15k 14k
@@elmehdinafia1237 not per game but he absolutely will hit 11k he's right around 9k already and he shows zero signs of playing any less than 25 seasons. he'll be first in points and like 3rd in assists no doubt.
@@geordiejones5618 don't diss magic like that his vision is in a league of its own. His assists came more naturally in a more open offense. The pick and roll system the lakers run today is designed to get lebron and only lebron assists. Showtime was disigned to move the ball so everyone got assists (they had more team apg in a slower era). Magic had a far superior post game, had a better mid range, and was a much better free throw shooter. I agree lebron is better overall and most of the things you said are true but it leaves out all things magic was better at
Remember when people were saying stuff like "LeBron will just be a one man show" and "LeBron will turn Anthony Davis into a spot up shooter like he's done with Chris Bosh and Kevin Love" ? Talk about wrong guess...
@@hulkdaddy71 LeBron has been out of Cleveland for 2 years now, and Love is somehow still a spot up shooter. It's just adjustment of a player to a new system, or taking a new role altogether. Nobody blames Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo for "turning Ray Allen into a spot up shooter". But yes, playing with a ball dominant player typically makes you take fewer shots. And you're giving LeBron way too much credit for "recruiting", even without LeBron in Miami, it was still probably the most attractive place for Bosh to come, and love was acquired so Cleveland can instantly go in win-now mode, with no prior connection to LeBron whatsoever.
Imaging being a pass first player since you learned basketball. Then in year 17 of your professional career, you finally get a dominant big man that can rebound and score with Dwight, Javale and Boogie cousins as the back ups. Gonna add 1-2 more years to his career passing more.
If you ask me, they need a scoring 6th man... Their 2nd unit is on defense, when only if it is effective. Rondo become 50% in 3pt on his return but he is a play maker, now Bradley and Rondo is on injured list. All that's left are their back court guards that are defensive specialists. They need a scoring 6th man. Bradley Beal is a good deal
No need to ask coach nick for that. Just watch the game and you'll see that they really need a sharp shooter. I mean a consistent one and not just on papers. They actually have a bunch of shooters but unfortunately, non of them shoot the ball well from 3pt line as of late except rondo and kcp. Lakers badly need a consistent 3pt shooter to completely dominate any team at any given night.
Lebron looks like the best PG I’ve seen play...his feel and knowledge of the game has me believing a healthy Lakers team wins it all. I never got to see Magic but watch the second three peat of Jordan as a kid.
Sheesh, those passes are just amazing by James. It's like they're always one step ahead. I see James getting the ball and beginning to do something with it, so defenders gravitate towards him, but he makes that one extra pass to the cutter that just got freed up and it's an easy bucket.
He's mastered the art of misdirection...if you notice he always makes sure to get defenses attention committed to certain reads and he makes the opposite.

Facts
Man, the assortment of moves AD has in the low post is just crazy. Once he gets the ball down there it's over, plus he can shoot the mid range and 3.
If I was the defense I would rather have AD shooting 3s, mid ranges , and working in the post than taking open dunks.
@@victordwyer1018 Problem is, he's kind of good at shooting...

AD is the same person who played at Pelicans. The stage at Los Angeles is hype hence AD is playing spectacular basketball.
And he has a better team including a GOAT that demands attention and frees up Davis. He has definitely made another jump this season. A great team elevates every player
It was expected for him to keep getting better but now he has lebron
LeBron's lobs to AD is a mix of NFL QB and soccer header-goals. Too overwhelming.
Exactly like it is.....
I get nervous whenever AD lands. omg that left leg! stay healthy!
Edward Anthony every time Embiid lands as well... yikes
He normally has upper body problems
dont worry about his leg, all AD injure history are from upper body especially shoulder
you should only worry when he lands like d rose.
Glad he actually has a medical staff now. No wonder he was injury prone in New Orleans with no es staff. That’s a problem for Zion to worry about now.
I love this version of Bron, it’s so calm and controlled. It’s not him giving the ball to another player and watching them do their thing, it’s like watching Magic being able to score like MJ but still playing like Magic cause it’s easy.

@@hulkdaddy71 but it is more than that. When looking at there defence they've lost quality in the past off season in brogdon being traded and Middleton being injured. Their I'm improvement is nothing short of amazing. I'd be terrified to face this bucks team in the playoffs atm
This is a great vid but I wish there was more Westbrook Analysis on the channel. Coach Nick should start a series called, “shakin y head” starring westbrook.
Lmao, okay!
I love this lakers 2019 2020 unstoppable roster
You would make one hell of a basketball coach.
Yes coach.
so excited for lakers to go win it all again
Background music fits this analysis
A.D. in beast mode!
Joel Embiid has load management but only Kawhi Leonard gets criticized for it because Lakers Nation is still salty he didn't choose their franchise. 🤣 When AD tears his ACL later on, blame load management for that.
I'm glad we didn't get keload.. I wanna see my guys playing every game.. Keload is made of glass.. It turned out just fine for us lol
best duo of all time
The music make you wanna be an analyst dam
We need to give the coaching staff more credit, they have been excellent. You know what makes this Lakers team so special, Every player has been trough some shit. U got AD that had no help for years when he played for the Pelicans so he is battle hardened, u got rondo that wont take shit from anybody even from Lebron, Green that has much experience with the Spurs and Raptors and shoots very well and plays A+ defense a perfect player for Lebron. Kuzma is a player Lebron took under his wing it feels like. This team is full with veterans and has a great chance to win the chip.
Good material as usual , will you be covering the Utah Jazz anytime soon
Thanks and I need to. Ive got some other videos in the queue first
Alright, your work this year has surpassed excellency. Keep em coming
I love your usage of the word ‘tractor beam’. Is it weird that I imagined LeBron as a huge anime machine with weird factory doors closing sounds when you said that?
Ha, not weird at all.
Best duo in the NBA lakeshow 🔥
great vid as always coach. would love to see a vid on the bucks and the clippers blowout
Haha Hu Kawhi is just struggling man and their offense is oretty stagnant, mostly relying on isos with Lou Will and post up with Kawhi and the occasional Down screen to free up PG
Myles Garrett they don’t have legit playmakers.
Lake Show and that too, when ur point guard is named Patrick Beverly u know damn well ur only getting defense at the point nothing else but some lucky wide open 3s
Damn, lebron is like a modern day magic johnson
But Lebron is a better defender, stronger, faster, more agile, and more explosive on top of being a much more versatile and consistent scorer. only player in NBA history to have more than 11 consecutive seasons with 25ppg or more (16). The guys who compared him to Magic AND Jordan when he was in high school were more right than anyone ever knew. imagine telling someone in the 90s that one player would retire with more assists than Magic AND more points than Kareem. that will absolutely be Lebron he gonna finish with like 42k 15k 14k
Ryan Sansaricq bruh you said it all for me 😂
@@geordiejones5618 LeBron won't have more assists than magic tho
@@elmehdinafia1237 not per game but he absolutely will hit 11k he's right around 9k already and he shows zero signs of playing any less than 25 seasons. he'll be first in points and like 3rd in assists no doubt.
@@geordiejones5618 don't diss magic like that his vision is in a league of its own. His assists came more naturally in a more open offense. The pick and roll system the lakers run today is designed to get lebron and only lebron assists. Showtime was disigned to move the ball so everyone got assists (they had more team apg in a slower era). Magic had a far superior post game, had a better mid range, and was a much better free throw shooter. I agree lebron is better overall and most of the things you said are true but it leaves out all things magic was better at
What's the name of the background music
Remember when people were saying stuff like "LeBron will just be a one man show" and "LeBron will turn Anthony Davis into a spot up shooter like he's done with Chris Bosh and Kevin Love" ? Talk about wrong guess...
what did he do to Chris Bosh and Kevin Love, again, when he recruited them? Turned them into spot up shooters. At least you admit that much.
@@hulkdaddy71 LeBron has been out of Cleveland for 2 years now, and Love is somehow still a spot up shooter. It's just adjustment of a player to a new system, or taking a new role altogether. Nobody blames Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo for "turning Ray Allen into a spot up shooter". But yes, playing with a ball dominant player typically makes you take fewer shots. And you're giving LeBron way too much credit for "recruiting", even without LeBron in Miami, it was still probably the most attractive place for Bosh to come, and love was acquired so Cleveland can instantly go in win-now mode, with no prior connection to LeBron whatsoever.
Imaging being a pass first player since you learned basketball. Then in year 17 of your professional career, you finally get a dominant big man that can rebound and score with Dwight, Javale and Boogie cousins as the back ups.
Gonna add 1-2 more years to his career passing more.
“its no surprise considering they paired two of the best players” said the guy who said the fit isnt as good as people think. LMAOO
Laker Nation Mavs already exposed them, play down all the screens and let Le3-6 brick 3s all game
Loqs my guy, go get your clown outfit.
Loqs mavs got clapped by them at home tfym lmao
Loqs LeBron isn’t gonna brick threes every game. Unluckily he didn’t do too well against the Mavs and they capitalized.
SamYG y'all act like one regular season game means everything lmao
They really let Bron and AD to team up..
Loving it
Coach, any thoughts of what the Lakers can improve on? Or if there are pieces that they could sign or trade for? Would love to hear your thoughts.
If you ask me, they need a scoring 6th man... Their 2nd unit is on defense, when only if it is effective. Rondo become 50% in 3pt on his return but he is a play maker, now Bradley and Rondo is on injured list. All that's left are their back court guards that are defensive specialists.
They need a scoring 6th man. Bradley Beal is a good deal
No need to ask coach nick for that. Just watch the game and you'll see that they really need a sharp shooter. I mean a consistent one and not just on papers. They actually have a bunch of shooters but unfortunately, non of them shoot the ball well from 3pt line as of late except rondo and kcp. Lakers badly need a consistent 3pt shooter to completely dominate any team at any given night.
@@jaobagamasbad4476 I actually want them to try and get Schroder(not sure if the spelling's right), but I think his contract is kinda big.
Lebron looks like the best PG I’ve seen play...his feel and knowledge of the game has me believing a healthy Lakers team wins it all.
I never got to see Magic but watch the second three peat of Jordan as a kid.
Someone that gets better by year smells great! 17 year Merlot
If they’re healthy, the Lakers are running roughshod over everyone in the playoffs. Two GOATs on the same team
LeBron and AD best duo in nba history for me not because of championship and wins but because of their chemistry and how they complement each other.
I’d have to agree with this considering what we’ve seen so far
BBALLBREAKDOWN 💯
6:49
That's not Danny Green
Sheesh, those passes are just amazing by James. It's like they're always one step ahead. I see James getting the ball and beginning to do something with it, so defenders gravitate towards him, but he makes that one extra pass to the cutter that just got freed up and it's an easy bucket.
He's mastered the art of misdirection...if you notice he always makes sure to get defenses attention committed to certain reads and he makes the opposite.
@@slimthugg7 He's like an elite level quarterback.
Me when coach nick said best player he ever played with and it wasn’t Caruso
“Do you hear me shaking my head”
Yes!!
Showing that a big 2 with many pieces can be more devestation then a big 3.
