"Choose the one who wants you. Not the one you want". ~ Shannon
Savannah is a heroic figure in my mind.
Heroic?? Why?
@@olliwest7341 I can tell that you want to say something negative lol just Gohead say it
@@cbjones2218you feel me?😂😂😂 go ahead and let it out bro
𝔽𝕒𝕔𝕥𝕤❕
@@cbjones2218 Not at all.. Love Bron's work ethic and what he has built. Legacy... My question is WHY would a femme acting in an APPROPRIATE manner for any civil femme be "heroic". If I'm missing something, please enlighten me.
savannah needs an award for how she held it down
Ong 🙌🏾 that's why when bron miss a game to attend a family matters or event i don't even blame him
Their success on the court and with their family is her reward. As long as the work you're putting in gets results, there's no need for awards.
Being married to a billionaire is her reward
@@RMNC704you ever thought maybe the reason you don’t have money is because you think it means everything
Man I swear this new Unc show is amazing. he said a gem that EVERY man should learn and understand: "choose the girl that wants you, not the girl you want." Man that is SO TRUE.
This is one if not the hardest podcast out right now
@willipolk2780 ,What do you mean by "The hardest podcast?"
That’s Simone BILES she chose up
@@rayj.9568 I'm old school I'm 40 the hardest pod cast means one of the best of not the best
This is a phenomenal segment. Way to give respect to the women and the power of support. ❤
“All I wanted to be, was a wife and raise a family” Just hit so hard
Yes. More women would do well to have a mindset like that.
The way Savannah has been in Brons corner since day 1 and the way he hasn’t allowed any blemish to pop up in regards to their family life. Hes the GOAT for everything. As a role model, a father, a player, a human, a black man, a man. And she is as well.
Gil is the perfect person to ask about Lebron James
One of the most significant sports conversations I’ve heard in a long time. Many young athletes need to learn from this.
Anthony Edwards Zion Williamson y'all listening?!!!
@@CATAWBA_RIVERDon’t forget PJ Washington even tho he’s like 25 that’s still pretty young being that im 34 😂😂
@@marcellusnewkirk8454 oh yeah you ain't lying bro
I love how chad let Shannon and Gilbert have that conversation without really interjecting himself on a topic that he might not really be too knowledgeable about and just listened as fan in a sense. This duo is best thing in sports broadcasting right now. Can’t say that about someone like molly, where she feels the need to speak every 2 seconds.
Molly just caught a random stray lol. But I agree 😂
They need to keep Gil even though he has his own the trio is dope
Why nobody likes her? Ppl be doing the females wrong on these talk shows 😂
@@trentmolden3395 it ain’t even all females, it’s just her. Look at Joy Taylor, she’s not annoying. Now Molly… she always wants to be the vocal point when she’s just the moderator.
Good peep. There is no need to have to interject.
Genius move to bring in Gil this quickly becoming the number 1 sports podcast 💯💯💯
I high-key like Gil way more in this podcast than on his own podcast 😂😂 He's way more insightful and entertaining here
@@mog7501lmao facts he’s pure ignorant in his show
Paul george podcast is up there too
Gil a real one. Keeping it real
Savannah is the perfect women. Smart and powerful women and I always have respected her for not seeking fame
Edit: in conclusion she’s the GOAT wife
Tru
She might be the undisputed GOAT of pro athlete wives (Roger Federer’s is up there too). Doesn’t crave the limelight at all. Just content with supporting her man and taking care of her family. 99.9% of women could not do what she has done for the past 20+ yrs.
Legitimately
Facts
If any of us ever meet someone like that because that type of women in America it’s rarely than seeing a T-Rex 🦖 run the suburbs she’s a keeper for life!!
Savannah did not give up anything. She did exactly what she was put on this earth to do.
Right
It’s crazy how this truth would have millions of women hurt! But look at her rewards!
@@overdrammtic04 it’s only ONE lebron. The problem is when dudes who aren’t doing anything try to tell women this. That’s when they get upset.
Damn Gil dropped a bar with that Alfred line. Sheesh
Gill dropped a gem *I was looking for a Robin when I needed an Alfred!*
For him to be deemed the CHOSEN ONE at such an early stage in his career means someone saw this coming!!‼️❤️💪🏾🙌🏿💯
Nah, the nba do it for hype. Remember they said Ben simmons was Lebron 2.0 we see how that’s panning out. Also Zion the greatest player since Lebron yet his career will not come close because he cant keep his weight down. Now wemby, only thing he has to worry about is future injuries but hey we will see how that pans out.
My Grandpa told me “you better like somebody who likes you more than you like them” I didn’t understand it until I got older 🤦🏽♂️
The Gilbert addition was legendary
His wife is ONE of the FEW good ones left !!!!!! .... Kudos to the James Family !!!!!
People forget lebron would isolate himself a lot and train by himself with no contact with his family for multiple play off and finals series
LeBron & Savannah give First Family vibes. 👑
- Signed 12/22/2023
That’s one of the great things about getting in a healthy relationship EARLY ON. Savannah knew him before the money and came. She cared about him for him. She seems like a great wife and mother, which is exactly what LeBron needs. Kudos to them!
i had to replay that first part. He really said Savannah sits and breaks down game film with him. WOW.
Talk about a keeper. Man I can't wait to see his documentary when it comes out.
Yeah idk why they glossed over that.
Probably because Gil told the story before.
@@KWU_369 Maybe, but man, I never heard that before. i would remember that.
@@Avbanks23 man they could do a whole segment on that. Every man wants a woman who's that supportive. i bet she REALLY knows her basketball too...
I can't wait to hear all the stories from former and current players about him once he finally calls it quits in the year 2030 lol
Never heard a better analogy bruh. LeBron is Batman, he need his Robin on court, but his most important piece that make his life work is Alfred. Not second in command, but an equal who willingly sacrifice for Batman to fight bright.
Edit: LeBron is who lead the James family, but the real MVP that keep the machine still going is for sure Savannah.
Gil, ocho and unc! This is perfect!
Savannah is a REAL ONE for sure! She is still young, she has got time to live her full potential! Family first is what she committed to obviously!
She's at her full potential, just where she is. Wife and mother her #1 priority 😊
@@real-h1739 You missing the point Non of us are at FULL POTENTIAL, bc we are constantly learning and growing (or at least we should be) I am sure she a great mother, you see it her children! But she might also be a great business woman, she might be a good director, she may have potential to be a doctor and so on! Lebron is a great basketball player but even he is not at his full potential! We have reached full potential when we are 6 ft down
@@sharonwatson4960 Naw she don't need to be everything to everyone else but whom she desires, and that's her family that she's dedicated to.
@@real-h1739 Goodbye! It’s Christmas go find something better to do! I am about to go see The Color Purple!
weve never had this in depth analysis into the things happening in the lives of athletes
"behind closed doors." well done.
Best convo on here so far they kept it real
"Choose the girl that wants you, not the girl you want" It's a regret I have already in life and I'm only 30. That is one of the realest pieces of advice you will hear. God gave me a handful of women that really wanted me and I was out there chasing other women. All yall dads with sons, make sure yall give them this piece of advice
I really like Shannon and Gill together
I felt for Tom. Bro lost his wife the same year he retired. Damnit man
She played her part. She stayed until she wasn’t needed anymore.
@@bigben19961exactly she did what she could. I'm thinking maybe she checked out a long time ago but was just waiting for him to finally bow out retire before she left because Dam she found a new man immediately. Lol
He could have retired after winning the Superbowl at that point it sounds like dude wasn't trying to compromise at all
Yall talking real talk yall not doing this for clout this is real talk right here 🙌🏾👏🏾
Alfred…not a Robin is a bar 💯
That was tuff
Bron documentary is gonna be so crazy 😂💯💯💯
That boy Ocho sleepy as hell 🤣
Savannah is like many of us out here, WE LOVE HER!!!❤️🖤💚
It's not the many, it's the few. 😊
Love the colors!
“Alfred not robin”..is a gem
Definitely a bar
Gil keeping it buck, no matter what you say bron is a generational talent, gonna be tuff when he’s gone
Wasn't tuff when the rest was gone . won't be tuff when he's gone trust me
@@O.gBobby-u6q wym real hoopers miss certain player brodie and certain version of players, why you think old highlights get so many views on youtube yea the game goes on but doesn’t mean a piece of it doesn’t leave when a generational talent leaves same for curry as well !
@@dr33kkclement54 so why they only play old and new highlights of LeBron. But when he lose or get swept we don see new or old highlights? Bet you won't answer or have a excuse
Won't be tough when LeBron is gone.. Man please..
@@O.gBobby-u6qppl stop watching certain sports when their favorite player retires
You can say Savannah sacrificed, but she is really the CEO. Everything is dictated around her, LeBron is part of her empire, it would be difficult for LeBron to do what he does without her.
Who ripped the fart @10:34? 😂😂😂😂 Gilbert lifted his cheek like a MFr 🤣🤣🤣
Wtf was that at 1:18??
its the leather seat guys 😂... ripping one out without muting the mic is wild 😂 😂
I just went thru the comments lookin for this comment 😂😂😂 I think it was ocho 😂😂😂
Come on Ocho! You’re a superstar bro, it doesn’t matter who else is there. If it affected the revenue split that’s one thing, but if you still getting paid the same then adjust and continue to shine. You were dead this episode and Shannon kept trying to reel you in to contribute to the conversation but you were on your “ yeah… “ shit. Don’t lose your seat in the table over emotion
factss, i noticed this too. we all gotta shine together
I actually respected that tbh. Didn’t feel the need to interject himself on topics that he might not know about too much. He chimed in when he needed to but didn’t force anything.
@@223G22when did he chime in?
@@liooliva4023 this clip isn’t the best example, but through the episode, he was speaking his piece when he needed to.
Why does he need to say anything he's listening intently
Gil spittn bars...
I seem to really relate to gil more on your pod unc then his arena..
Imma say this RIGHT NOW… Unc KNOWS what he’s doing… You see the way he got Ocho back in the convo when he checked out? Genius 🤓 10:39
He articulated that so well 🫡💯🤜🏾🤛🏾
Everyone please slow down. Just be happy for LeBron and Savannah. Don’t start putting them in songs and idolizing their relationship.
That was deep 💯🔥
"We're looking for an Alfred, not a Robin"
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯💯💯💯💯💯
Imagine if every man, no matter if you were an inspiring athlete, musician, entrepreneur etc..
What if you had a Savannah in your life????
Mannnn, I can only image the things that I could've accomplished! Most definitely quicker and easier success with that kind of support!
I need to find my Savannah 💯💯
Ocho over there so quiet...
I feel you man...
It’s the addition of Gil right? He look like he feel betrayed thinking it was supposed to be unc and ocho exclusively
That last line "Too late now Ocho" hit hard. Hope he took the hint.
Ocho been saying about how Unc needs a women.
@@liooliva4023 Nope. Ocho is a powerful listener, which is admirable.
@@liooliva4023 chad doesn't think like that. there's enough time for everyone
Unc making these shirts with the design right in the camera frame is genious. Only thing we are missing is a link in the description.
An "Alfred" not a "Robin". I don't give a damn what nobody say Gil be breaking shit down like no other
10:37 not even trynna hide it😂
i knew i wasn’t the only one 🤣
I thought I was tripping 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
That last line before the cut. "Too late now Ocho" hit hard.
😂😂😂
This segment was Powerful. It highlighted the sacrifice both the Man and Woman have to make to build greatness. Love it Guys Powerful!!!!!
Salute to Sister Savannah, she's the difference maker🎉
can we talk about the growth of gilbert’s speaking skills on topic🔥
I think I like hearing "Ocho" over "Skiuulp".
That Alfred vs Robin comparison is epic.. so many modern women are trying to be Robin when all you need and want is an Alfred.
Some are even trying to be Batman.
Damn Shannon, this was such a good segment... Really enjoyed it!!
10:37 woke me out of my sleep 😂😂😂😂👀
Look how long Ocho goes without talking. He's a great listener. That's a rare gift.
I always say this about Steph. He's got it all, but the way his wife acts will be problematic. Especially when he retires. As Will Smith has shown, your choice in your wife can either propel you or destroy you.
Will STILL loves Jada. And I respect her more than most anyone on social media
You love Jada is not a we thing lol she's wild@@hykuvava2269
@@hykuvava2269lol.mmmm.he also scare she might release them tapes😂😂😂
@@stifler5062 They're so cool. I really like them. About 75% of what you think is social media hype.
50% of men and women cheat. Some with siblings, Mama's man, cousins, the mail man... They were not together.
I prefer the people who like the two of them anyway. Latifah, Denzel Washington, Samuel Jackson. GOoD solid people who know them well. I have insiders as well.
Plus I don't do us in. Because really it's designed.
❤️🖤💚
That woman is not problematic. Yall don't like Ayesha. She's a good woman she loves her kids and her husband. Steph is fine. Yall need to stop!
One thing bout ocho, he listen. He don’t always speak but when he do Yu feel em. Pause. S/O the Team. Unc Ocho, Gil . ✊🏾
Bunch of gems from 3 black men that have been through the ups and downs of celebrities. Cheers to these 3.
These 3 need their own podcast fr fr
Lebron- Goku
Bronny- Gohan
Gil- Piccolo
This is beautiful and all but we gone act like, 10 minutes and 34 seconds( 10:34 )into this meaningful exchange yall didn’t hear that man Gil fart?
They both know his greatest superpower because they’re both clutch sports associates. His greatest superpower is that he’s got the money to pay people to say he’s the best ever. I’m sorry, but if your name is Gilbert, Arenas, Shannon Sharp, Kendrick, Perkins, Nick Wright, any of these people your credibility is toilet water.
Agreed!
I didn’t even realize Ocho was there until the end
Great segment fellas, 88 who wrote that rap on the Vegas commercial😂😂🔥🔥🔥
🏀🏀🏀Im sorry but i have to say this, I love Lebron James and his family. I would never disrespect them in anytype of way, but its just the way Shannon Sharpe is talking like it was a ultimate sacrifice for Savannah to stay home and raise the kids while lebron james is out making millions of dollar. I dont want to speak for every woman on this earth, but i believe any women on this earth would give up there left nipple to be in Savannah Shoes!!!🏀🏀🏀🏀
Not true, many women in those circles are focused on the lifestyle.
Wrong. LEBRON was already generationally wealthy by the time he went back to Cleveland. After 2016, 17, 18 a lot of women would be like... c'mon. Enough is enough. A LOT. Almost 10 years later and he is still at the "top" or close to the top of the sport. She really is doing something amazing that a LOT of other women wouldnt do.
Even with millions many women would be tired of staying home with kids. They could have 2 nanny’s and a cook and they would tell the husband I did a lot it’s your turn now.
You would never understand the level of woman Savannah is.
It's not a sacrifice when you're getting what you want and what God has equipped you for....family!!
I like Shannon, but listening to him talk about LeBron is like listening to Skip Bayless talk about the Cowboys.
The only thing I disagree with is that Gil said no one saw this coming
A lot of people saw this coming. Go read news articles from that time. Lebron is one of the few athletes that lived up to the ridiculous amount of hype he had
“The chosen one” is one of espns most recognized covers
Gil really said a bar with that Alfred and robin reference
Savannah trusted the process 💯💯
Lebron’s wife is the perfect woman for a man that is rich and a lot of his plate
He’s got money
@guntypesnlifegripes but she was there before he had money
@@IdrisPalmerare you serious 😭lebron was the local celebrity since middle school the chicken heads in the hood was probably all over him
@Dipset415 So are you calling her a chicken head? Because if that's the case she could've been checked out and got a check right??? But she's still there holding it down and happy. Maybe you're just jealous
Remember this, LeBron didn't start off Rich...let that digest for a minute.
This podcast award winning was more than sports
love this podcast 💯💯💯🔥🔥
There are plenty of women that are doing the same thing for their husband, but their husband isn't lebron. Stop glorifying these women for something they're supposed to do.
What an amazing conversation
The Alfred analogy was A 1 💯
8:52 LMAO at Gil surprised that Gisele Bundchen has more money than Tom Brady...... 😂
I appreciate them focusing on that Queen.
Savannah is also a buisness lady in her own right, she's built her own networth..
Yeah aite😭
How did she give up? She literally said she only ever dreamed of achieving a family? Stop acting like she took an L being a stay at home mom…?
She still sacrificed big dog. Give the woman her flowers
Stop the hating😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂why you mad
@@xtreme97for seeing how hard it is for most women to even commit in a relationship without ego this is a rare moment and a rare person
If you discount her accomplishments and what she brought to the table as far as stability, love, support and nurturing ability. You have NEVER met a great women. This is not his mama, this is his woman. She doesn't have to do any of those things for him. But she did. You are showing your lack of having a great woman in your life and should you find it. You will discount it and she will leave you.
Yo am I the only one who heard one of them fart at 10:35🤣😭I think it was ocho based on his facial expression😂💯
I had this same issue with my team .They never understood the cost of greatness
Damn all that. I need that shirt Unk. Just reading 9pm made me think about what I wont be doing at 915.
Goat james
At what turnovers or missed 3s or dancing like he's 10 years old
🐐 👑
@@P91Prod at what please answer
@Samurai9___ MJ the goat 🐐
People miss the fact that living that clean life, truly allows you to manifest your success. The Blueprint is laid out and the road is littered with undisciplined players that under performed.
Gil giving LeBron credit by saying he outsmarted us in that series. "We were better than them" is saying a lot from a .500 basketball team. If you were better why didnt you win 50+ games like the Cavs that year. This man is talking like the Wizards were world-beaters at that time instead of being real and saying he beat an unprepared, average .500 team that was not that really good in a dead end conference.
This is not trying to bash on LeBron because he is great, rather to expose Gills lack of self awareness and living in fantasy land.
Shannon just loves this all the lebron praise he finally got somebody to agree with him smh 😅
Don’t fix it, if it isn’t broken. You and Chad were perfectly fine Unk to keep it 💯.
I’m not lying I knew it in 03-04 that Bron was and was going to be the goat. I was headed to highschool and I just understood this dude was 3-4 years older than me and was headed to the nba
Savannah is an example of what a great woman can do for a man in his corner!✌🏾
I know I f up too when I chose! I can only imagine if I chose the right one!
so Gil was the Piccolo to Bronny's Gohan.
im glad the lebron stories are coming out now😂the kobe and mj fans gon hate this😂😂lbj was a killa too😈
Bruh, everybody on this planet man and woman would’ve happily done the same as Savannah lol. For that infinite bag, come on lol
Ocho like shiiiiiiid I got mines 🙃😂😂
Thank you for the advice OGs I'm 24 and when I find the woman that's good for me I'm wifing dat up real quick I'm not playing a real one like Savannah who is family oriented are a dying breed nowadays
