Listen to What’s Wright with Nick Wright: sprtspod.fox/WhatsWright_YT
Wilt Chamberlain is the answer
You should show them the Jimmy highroller video about Victor. Only one person over 7 foot 2 is in the hall of fame, Yao Ming. Also criminally underrated, with the fastest ever enter the league, to hall of fame career. If wimby stays healthy… he very well might be the goat
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!!
cant wait til he becomes a laker
I rather watch paint dry on a wall
"Zions missed 60 games in a month" Shannon got me dying.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Shannon a savage for that one
It adds up😂
😂😂😂
He wasn't wrong tho 😂😂😂
"I hear everything you say and i am lost"skip killed me😂
😂😂😂😂
Lmaooooo he lowkey tune out shannon when he go on the lebron praise
😂😂
Skip is a Hypocrite he knows what Shannon is talking about as far as Hype it was to describe LBJ.
@@wzrdhndrixx7089 he tunes Shannon out every day “ok, is it my turn? Good… I hear everything you just said” is what he says every day
That Jodie Foster line from Shannon was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
"in 20 seasons kareem missed 80 games"
Fun fact: john stockton missed 22 games in 19 years, and 18 of those came in 1 season.
LeBron, on his draft night, was told by Bob Costas that if he's not a FIRST ballot HOF he will be a bust. I can't believe people have not used this quote to emphasize on the hype that was LeBron James.
I graduated in 2003. The other kids on my high school bball team where always talking sh*t saying they could beat Lebron 1 on 1. Not Kobe, not Iverson, Not TMAC, not VC, Not even JORDAN (last year in the league with the Wizards) Everyone compared themselves to Lebron. The hype was huge!
@@southbeachtalent nah, they only said they can beat LBJ cuz they thought they actually could
They knew they weren’t beat MJ or Kobe that’s why they ain’t say it 🤣
@@ImThatSmoothexactly 😂😂😂
Nobody thought bron was that dude. But we all knew Kobe , mac, Al, and MJ were unbeatable lol
@@The_Crown-CodmAI who never had a legit great run but 1 season Kobe who blew a 3-1 and quit in a game 7 Kobe that missed the playoffs in his prime that finished multiple finals with as many turnovers as assist t mac who choked in a game 7 and never made a real contending push mj who lost to 23 year olds shaq and penny who was in his second season while mj with the most stacced team in the league same mj who never won a playoff game against the Celtics and could never beat a healthy and prime zeke and bad boys and could never even have a meaningful game with the showtime lakers because of it okay
@@kharianaflowers8033 and you’re saying they’re worse than the dude that got swept twice in the finals? Also has more losses than wins in the finals? Compared to Jordan who doesn’t lose in the finals, Kobe who’s 5-2? Has more rings than LeBum with less losses, that’s what you’re saying? These dudes are worse than LeBum?
The amount of pressure on Victor is crazy man. Hopefully it all works out for him.
The international kids have way less pressure
He’s built for the sport both physically and in skill. The hope is that he gains some muscle like Giannis did, otherwise injuries will plague him due to his frame.
Lmao
Theres 0 pressure actually. First time i see someone say this u really dont understand how international players work
This guy has zero pressure lol... Especially in San Antonio, Pop ain't gonna let it get crazy anyways lol
There’s absolutely no reason for Shannon to be getting SO upset over this topic 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂👏🏼 agree!!
None 😂
Well he's the king of the LeBron meatrider club.
Im thinking the same thing watching this lmao dude gets HYPED shouting and hollering 😂
Let that man defend Lebron with passion!!!.... It's serious business when we defend Lebron... We gotta say it with our chest!!! 💪🏾.... Even though that's not a chest, but you get the idea!! Lol
There’s a lot of pressure on Victor for sure. The fact he landed to the Spurs with Pop as his coach will help him for sure. Hopefully he does well. He’s a incredibly solid player
Remember what happened last time pop tanked for no.1 pick resulted in 5 rings
Dude is a generational talent for sure. Unless he gets an injury he will live up easily.
@@jayblack2075 He didn't tank, David Robinsons back was wrecked that year
*his handler
Solid?? Really what an understatement.
I thought Ben Simmons taught us to relax on the comparisons and allow these young dudes to grow into their potential. Everyone labeled Ben as the next LeBron and look what happened. Y’all putting a lot of pressure on that kid for him to possibly never live up to those expectations being set. And those same people will be the ones to trash him the minute he doesn’t meet those expectations.
Don't forget Wiggins ,Gerald Green ,Anthony Bennett, Greg oden and Zion Williams
@@madjames2392 Gerald Green was never hyped like the others you put on here. Stop that.
@@mickeysmoove4562 I give you gerald green but he was drafted out of high-school and his athleticism was compared to lebron.
Part of the game it’s their job
@@madjames2392Gerald Green & Anthony Bennett quit lying nobody said about them at all like keep real
“I have no idea what you are talking about” 😂😂😂😂 funniest thing Skip has told Shannon.
He's right tho, nobody is saying victor is better than lebron at the same age, everyone is saying he's the best since lebron
@@dragonusuralis8287 not true. Shannon is right. Woj and some others on social media are proclaiming him better than LeBron already. It’s ridiculous to say the least.
@@mannersmatter_ he is better than Bron at that age, hate to admit that 😢
@Cris V skips point is the headlines have been greatest prospect since bron. This thing Woj is saying is literally just today. Skip is actually defending Bron but Shannon is so used to Skip not doing that that he is fighting skip hence why Skip is saying " I don't know what you're saying"
@@talentedmrflowersJust stop.
I fear for him. The expectations placed on him are too much. I don't think he will live up to the hype, but I hope he does for his own sake.
I worry he'll be another Zion. Extremely talented but significant durability concerns
what makes u think he wont live up to the hype. the future i see is nba teams double teaming a 19 or 20 young man in his debut games. i see teams using him as they used MJ on the bulls, give him the ultimate green light and watch magic happen
He wont, He's to skinny and injury prone. If KD cant put on muscle when he's trying I doubt this guy could. He's definitely gonna be really good but he will get injured most likely.
He won't, and that is NOT wishful thinking. This Wemby hype is simply a marketing ploy to keep the revenue coming in and butts in NBA arenas. Scientifically, it's not possible for Wemby to be "the greatest ever" or whatever they're pumping in our ears, the reason being is that Wemby is TOO tall his body won't last the rigors of the NBA, watch....you'll see.
@@unc54 He's TOO tall. It's biologically impossible for him to be what he's being hyped to be.
It's literally just the height that sets Victor apart, but we've seen time and time again that these 7 footers don't have the career length and length of prime that "smaller" guys do. It looks better on paper than it usually works out, in modern NBA. Sooo much running.
Right, from what I've seen he really doesn't play like a center. So it's gonna be interesting if he staysz healthy. Will it actually matter if he's just a super tall KD type? His size may be getting him overrated.
I mean we already had Porzingis
Yeah check Wembanyama mpg he has 31 minutes or fewer. I don't think 🤔 this Kid has it. I think in 6 years we may have to have a European Basketball League channel streaming somewhere to see this kid play.
I remember my dad talking about Lebron when I was 3 or 4 years old like he was already in the NBA. The man was only 16 or 17 years old. He was talked about everywhere. I’m 23 now And to see what he’s been able to achieve with all the hype and expectations they put on him is incredible
Yep. They sure hyped him up as if they had groomed him. I still recall his debut and it was cool to see that he did his thing and them some. Zion WIlliamson on the other hand... Maybe he is waiting to get out of NO before he heals up! Or maybe he is waiting until James retires...
he is the epitome of living up to the hype
LeBron is not even better than Oscar Robertson when he played
@@Oscar_Robertson bro be foreal
@@Oscar_Robertson kwame brown better than Jordan then
Skip "LeBron didn't exceed expectations"
Shannon *lists things that LeBron has done* "did you expect that?"
Skip "well no of course not"
THAT'S LITERALLY WHAT EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS MEANS
Skip doesn’t want to give Bron any credit 😅
Skip didnt say those exact words. All he was implying was that he knew Lebron had potential to be a great player but he had no expectation for specific records he will break. Skip did mention he did not expect Lebron to have the longevity he had and maintaining the high level(consistency) in all of these years. Except these two he matched all of his expectations - great passer, great IQ, great driver of the ball, poor free throw, poor 3 point shooter. The main reason he has broken the scoring record is the longevity and the consistency in all of these years. League has seen many better offensive/scorers but none have the longevity and consistency that Lebron has and thus no one will break his record. Its like hare vs tortoise. Lebron is tortoise, while folks like Kevin Durant, Harden, Curry are Hare.
Lmaooo
skip "jordan more than lebro "
shannon "...
@@silverjaws007 Lebron reach 10k points in 369 games faster than all of them while passing the ball way more but some how they are better scorers
Can he play 82 NBA games + playoffs?? I do not question his skill and ability but his durability is something to watch.
I agree Durability and Mental toughness is going show his kids salt can he take the abuse and bounce back from it
Lmao Skip's first sentence sent me, "what are you talking about Shannon?"
I like how Shannon was naming off players and said Russell and quickly corrected himself and said Mr. Russell that respect is no longer in our youth
And to be clear that he is not talking about Westbrook 😂
That is the ultimate respect when you realize that you called Bill Russell without putting a handle on his name
Can i ask why he calls him Mr. Russell but not Wilt Mr. Chamberlain?
@@jameswormald4536 Listen to the whole question it was already answered for you your comprehensive skills need to improve
@@jemahoney There is no need to be so condescending, especially when I'm definitely more intelligent than you. I'm asking why Bill Russell is referred to as Mr. Russell but Wilt Chamberlain isn't referred to as Mr. Chamberlain. I presumed that Russell was referred to as Mr. due to him being Shannon's senior but so would Wilt have been hence the confusion. Maybe next time, don't insult people for no reason.
LeBron exceeding his expectations & his conduct off the court is absolutely incredible!!
Yeah but he didn’t show up big in the 2011 finals
Lebron sold out to China though.
Look up LeBron and China
@@phivegz stoopidrazzist
@@hylianlegends stoopidrazzist
I'm not the biggest lebron fan but I respect how great he is and has been. Lebron is the one athlete I can think of that exceeded expectations. Even other sports , there are a lot more Ryan leafs that are disappointments.
I am a a couole of years younger than Lebron and from Kenya. And we knew about him before he joined the NBA. Maybe in 02. No social media, barely any internet, just magazines. That's hiw legendary the guy was.
Shannon comparing Lebron to Jodie Foster is the analogy I didn't know I needed
I love Shannon's comparison to other child stars, Michael Jackson and Jodie Foster! 😂😂😂
Yeah it was a horrible comparison..Mj was on tv leading a band of brothers that was older than him..He wasn't even a teenager..He was singing with more soul than adults..He dance better than most..He revolutionize dancing to the next level..People wanted to dance base solely off of Michael Jackson..Lebron put a ball in a hoop..He was already on his way out of high school by the time people mad of fuss over him..There is 0 comparison to Michael Jackson it's very disrespect to mj..
@@tryingtochangemyways5074 What?! MJ was disrespectful to MJ 🤣🤣🤣
@@tryingtochangemyways5074 it’s not disrespectful, you’re just saying that cause it’s Michael Jackson 😂
Always give you a better understanding
@@tryingtochangemyways5074 while I get where your coming from you gotta think. Only like 400+ NBA players but thousands of musicians. So being in the NBA is def harder then being a singer it just is. Then add on bron is #1 or close to it in almost every major stat meaning he’s statistically the most accomplished player ever minus maybe Kareem. Mj was the goat for some time but in his older age he had faded into the background, lebron is doing the opposite. It’s not a bad comparison at all
What’s even more impressive is that LeBron was a top prospect for college football too. The athletic domination was top tier.
He would have been a top prospect in every sport he played.
I have NEVER heard this before... really? what position did Brown play in football? I can't see anything other than wide receiver/tight end and/or maybe DE...
Vic definitely not touching a football, his way too fragile😭😭😭
@@TeeTV22 Wide out… a 5 ⭐️ prospect
Same as Allen Iverson he coulda played football but he was deff right for chosing to play basketball cause at his size he woulda took alot of punishment an wouldnt of had a long career
"Zions missed 60 games in a month" Shannon got me dying. 🤣😂😂🤣
Even as a Spurs fan I'm like damn can we see the dude play a GAME first 😂
I moved to USA from Europe in 1998 during NBA Finals. Jordan introduced me to NBA, Allen Iverson made me fall in Love with NBA and LeBron made me marry Basketball to where its my main sport. LeBron pushed the Game of Basketball and made it World Famous after Jordan. He and Jordan are 2 of the most important Basketball players ever to Basketball. I hate to see so many people hate LeBron because of the “Decision”. I never did and never will. I love and respect all Basketball players who are good people and LeBron is and always will be.
It's gonna take a lot to live up to Abdul-Jabbar and Bron. As a Spurs fan I hope he's close
LeBron had the craziest expectations of anybody who ever came into the NBA. It completely marred the perception of him up to this day because everybody expected him to be MJ. The expectations for Wemby are absolutely insanse. He is barely out of his teenage years and people are saying he'd be a failure if he doesn't have a career like Kareem, Shaq, The Dream and Duncan or even MJ. It's utterly insane.
Kareem had higher expectations (88-2 in college) and had a better career than Lebron.
@@ShootTheClubUp42 stop it he did not have a better career than Bron
@@ShootTheClubUp42 better carrer when? In college?
@@Busto1299 He literally did, GOAT in college, 6 rings, 6 MVPs. GOAT high school.
@@Busto1299 Kareem 6 MVPs, (LBJ 4). Kareem 6 titles (LBJ 4), Kareem 2x scoring leader (LBJ 1) Kareem 4x blocks leader (LBJ 0) Kareem 1x rebounds leader (LBJ 0), Kareem 25/12 pts reb over 20 year career, both 19x all stars, both 5x all defense 1st team. Lebron has a bubble title (meh!) and Ray Allen saved him another time. Sorry fam. Kareem beats him at almost everything except longevity.
I think Wemby has the same amount of hype as Zion. But oh how quickly they forget
Because Zion can't stay healthy

If he was American, he would have been even bigger.
He was not in an American high school.

“It’s anticipatory.” ….😂
Good thing that Victor is going to start his career with Coach pop he will keep all the noise around him to a minimum he will also keep them humble and hard-working
I've never been a huge Basketball fan and with that being said I was in highschool in a small town in Florida when Lebron was coming up and I would hear about him all the time without even trying. You couldn't escape the hype of Lebron back then..... I've never even heard of this new guy until the draft loto and that's with social media. Idk if he's a better prospect or not but in my opinion there's no damn way he is more hyped up then Lebron was. Lebron was a Megastar at 17... "The Chosen One" I mean... C'mon. 😂
Lol EXACTLY!
Yea alot of players here in Ohio in his high school days was getting posterized in college gyms highschool gyms.. tournaments etc.. lebron's hype was real then
Amen 🙏💕🙏
LeBron at 16 was giving nba pros the business watch Ron artest talk about how LeBron and Jordan were teammates in picc up when bron was a kid and nobody could beat fhsm
I agree it ain’t fair to say he’s the biggest prospect ever , but you live under a rock if you have never heard of victor cuz every sports page on social media like espn has been posting victor multiple times a day every day for the last 2 years lol
Skip playing dumb. Everybody is saying he's the best prospect ever in all team sports. Their saying he will be the best player ever on off. And def. After 3 years.
Woj said it in pre draft lottery countdown , Woj’s word isn’t law , most ppl are saying best prospect since lebron

lmfaoo, we will see about that if he can take the pressure.
Leshannon didn’t wanna mention that Kareem went to 10 finals, because in the Jokic segment he said who else but lebron has been to that many finals. Kareem, Russell, magic.
He literally said that about kareem goofy watch the video
Skip is starting to give Lebron the flowers he deserves. He knows that history will remember this period and his takes on Lebron since 2003 will be also in Lebron's history.
"So you saw 10 finals"
Who would have guessed that
"You saw all time leading scorer"
How can you see that
"So he exceeded ur expectations"
Nope

I’m a year older than Lebron and grew up, (still live) 20 miles south of Pittsburgh and Lebron was the biggest thing out there! I heard his name more than I can count. I remember my friends and I wanting to go watch one of his games but couldn’t because none of us had a car that would make it round trip 200 miles. 😂 But we still thought about it because we only had to make it one way!

@@udg.quanchii That's not what we've seen in those match against the G League.
Over Lebron? I think that’s a little ridiculous because Lebron was just different at his age and he was younger than Victor is now… so maybe in a sense of social media but as far as skill and greatness and longevity I don’t think he’s going to go as far as Lebron did so tbh that’s ridiculous to compare Victor to Lebron in that sense… I’ll let you know after he has to guard Giannis Or Davis Or Embiid
because u cant come from HS to the pros. that changes next year, but right now Victor had to wait. Victor is 7'5 and is playing in a much tougher situation than lebron was . People are using lebrons proven career despite that not being what we are talking about. We are talking about 18 year old Lebron hype before he was drafted.
You must not have seen Wemby play yet. I’m not saying he a better prospect than LeBron but as far as skill Wemby’s is one of the best we’ve ever seen.
But i also think that wemby isnt getting as much hype because hes isn’t american. If he was american , I guarantee he wouldve been getting the same amount of hype as bron

Exactly what Shannon said: People forget that LeBron had us waiting for and watching high school basketball on ESPN. We weren’t streaming it. We weren’t waiting to see the highlights later on TH-cam. We made sure we were home and ready to watch A HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL GAME ON ESPN. LeBron’s hype was something else. I’m not old enough to know what it was like to watch Kareem play or know what the hype was like.
Let's just say Kareem was basketball when he was drafted. Never flashy, but if you got Kareem, you were guaranteed to dominate
I totally agree with you Shannon.
I worry about injuries with a guy like him. Hopefully everything works out for him, because he definitely has all time great potential
for me he way too tall like yao ming :D and we all how he ended with injury
Bol bol but with European glazers. 2024-2025 we are gonna be talking about WHEN ISNT HE HURT?
If he attempts stepbacks on bigger sized men and dove for loose balls I can imagine him being injury prone. I’m not sure how resilient his body will be but if he keeps working on his size and reaching Giannis level build he can do some damage
@Andy ! I was watching a video of him today and that's exactly who he reminded me of
And he already has history with injuries sat out a whole season last year
That Jodie Foster reference was unexpected and 100% on point
LeShannon tapped in 😭🔥
😂😂😂Out of nowhere 😂😂😂
*Shanon Wemby is a 7’2 center out here moving and shooting like a guard, if there was no social media the world would’ve been going crazy about him just like they did LeBron…literally the only thing that might be rendering his hype is that he didn’t come about playing in America but lets get back to the present. Not only is he playing how he’s playing social media aside he’s playing against grown men not high schoolers where LeBron was looking like a God amongst children in his HS years and going off his athleticism and passing ability saw the type of player he could be in the league right out of HS. If Wemby was playing here and not in France his hype would’ve been crazy*
I think he is like 7'4
@@NoName-il3wk Yea I wasn’t sure I thought he was that too but just went off the google height…when I first heard about him I think they were saying he was 7’4
He’s not playing in America though so he doesn’t have as much hype or expectation which literally answers the question. No one got more hype coming into the NBA than Lebron.
There they go.. everytime i start talkin bout boxin 😂😂😂😂
Sad to say this kid got a better chance of getting hurt then been a Hall of Famer
Facts!
Do they really think bro is gonna be around for the next 10 seasons? Name 2 players over 7’3 that weren’t injury prone even shaq only had a good 10 seasons before he became injury prone and he wasn’t even mobile like wemby
Exactly I’d consider not taking him 1 if I were the Spurs. Greg Oden, Yao Ming, even AD has played like half a career
I feel bad for young players like Wemby. The media throws so much unnecessary BS pressure and anything less and he’ll be considered a bust or “what could’ve been”. Like let the man play and let his career shape out.
They called LeBron the next Jordan...
it comes with the job
The media is so finicky, if he doesn't drop 40 in his 1st game, they'll call him a bust. Until he does drop 40. Then they'll say "he's the goat, like I've said all along" 😂😂😂
they said the same thing ab lebron?

I used to take the short drive to Akron from my hometown Cleveland to see 16 yrs old Lebron play and honestly, I had never seen anything like him in high school ever NOBODY. In my mind I was thinking that's a man inside the body of a 16 yrs old playing with boys. I used to think the same when I saw first saw Shawn Kemp and then Chris Weber play in high school. I used to drive home shaking my head in disbelief and I am not even exaggerating. I sat in the then Cavs Gund Arena watching first-year Lebron still not believing what I was seeing. I watched him at 22 take a Cavs team to the NBA Finals that if your life depended on it you could not name the starting 5 without the help of Google. Lebron is the only one in his entire 2003 draft class still in the NBA today. So nah I can't give Wembanyama that type of hype. I now live in Vegas and had a chance to watch Wembanyama play last summer I will say this. He looks like a create NBA 2K player with all the sliders maxed out
Funny fact: We know who was in the Top 5 of LeBrons 2003 draft with him, Melo, Bosh and Wade but do even remember that our boy Kendrick Perkins was the 27th pick of the Memphis Grizzles in the 1st round of that same draft. Its crazy you forget that when you look at Perk today
You are placing these young in greatness before they even play a game of ball , and when they dont make it you tear them down , great job skip and Shannon
Sad but true 😰
They did the same thing for lebron they crowned him king James in high school and he met and exceeded expectations and number 2 player of all time
I remember in 9th grade (I'm same age as Bron) that, I think it was Sports Illustrated, wrote that many execs felt he would have been the first pick if he came out in EIGHTH FRIGGEN GRADE!
Not a big lebron fan but Shannon is right, lebron is still the best prospect I’ve ever seen and the hype was unreal.
Somebody tell Shannon that his mic works
🤣
The minute I saw highlights of Lebron in HS I knew he was going to be a problem because he already seemed way more athletically gifted than most NBA players at the time but even saying that I didn't know he would be as great as he is.
I live in Ohio and did business with St Vincent and the University of Akron. Couple things about LeBron. He was left alone in the hood- bad influences stayed away. By 7th grade his family had awesome cars. He was getting shoe money early. This could have easily spoiled LeBron but did not. He was a national phenomenon just not amplified through social media. Like he was born to play ball and knew it and everyone knew it. But at that level???
I thought he would be top 10 easily but depending on how many championships he could be top 5. Being 2nd greatest definitely exceeded expectations
@@joejett5084 he's not second greatest top 5 though
Good luck Victor
thats a lot pressure from media, one mistake can make devastated consquence
We said the same on Ben Simmons, Zion, Andrew Wiggins and Anthony Davis.
Never seen Skip backtrack so fast 😭💀
There was a graphic of Lebron in an game on the cavs in his very early days... and his team role was listed as "Savior"
That is ALL you need to know about how HYPED LeBron was from even when he was 15-16.
Wembanyama is not American.
If he was American, he would have been even bigger.
He was not in an American high school.
ESPN bought the French league just to follow Wembanyama.
@@VIVIHESS he would've only been bigger because of social media, and thats it
Be careful of overhyping. Just let Wembanyama be and develop naturally. I remember people were saying Greg Oden will become the next best center. Magazine covers everywhere: Dime, Hoops, ESPN, SLAM, etc. Some hyped his draft as potentially one of the best ever with him going to number 1 and Durant at number 2. People were already counting on Oden to bring Portland multiple championships. It was kind of crazy. So when he was hurt (and constantly hurt) and sat out for several seasons it caused quite a toxic backlash of him being a bust. The media created the giant hype and followed it with enormous hate.
Preach Unk🗣️🗣️🗣️
I mean Victor is as tall as Yao Ming and plays like Kevin Durant
Not good 👎🏾hyping him up just to get big bodied by Ad
Sounds like a walking injury to me. Much like yao ming or porzingas.
@@YoungansRunningstaks_llc ad needa worry about jokic first he’s getting destroyed by jokic
Exactly bro 😂that man a legit better “prospect” than Lebron , they acting like people said he a better player right now. If everything pans out barring injury he has a great chance
Early 2000’s Greg Anthony predicted LeBron would break the all time scoring record if he stayed healthy. 🤯
Wow!, really?? 🙏
Greg Anthony (Cole Anthony's Dad) Been Predicted That Lebron Was Gonna Break Kareem Record In 1998.
It’s going to be so much pressure on this young man it’s gonna be crazy
LeBron James stayed healthy forever it’s crazy to even think anyone can be that way.
No player had more expectations tossed on him than LeBron. Just look up the videos lol. Its ridiculous how he not only gotten better but sustained his health and the most poised superstar regarding media personality. LeBron is the Alien
9:04, lol!! Facts!!
Maan they're tuning in for this kid. Pressure is real
The anger in the vices of anybody defending any attack on Lebron James is hilarious😂😂😂
It's not so much anger as it is exasperation at the logical inconsistency of the anti-Lebron narratives. Then when you point out those logical inconsistencies, you're just accused of being a "Bronsexual" therefore everything you say is biased. Arguing with Lebron haters is like trying to debate a creationist about evolution. It's like you're not having the same conversation.
It’s one dude defending LeBron against a nonsensical argument. But keep focusing on “voices”😂.
@@antcantcook960 how is the argument nonsensical?
Same could be said about his haters that make posts all over the internet crying about him or his accomplishments. But y'all don't wanna talk about that though.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Skip got exposed this entire episode.
Y skip say tik tok like tht 😂😂
When Shannon talked it's game over!
In terms of 18 year old prospect
Kareem, Kobe, Garnett and LeBron where highly hyped, Bron's buzz was helped mostly by KG's and Kobe's success as high schoolers especially Kobe's because he was the first none Big out of high school that became a superstar
Kobe wasn't hyped like that. And neither was KG
KG and Kobe were good but they weren’t hyped on the level as Kareem or Bron..in fact it was seen as risk for them to jump straight to the league..and they certainly weren’t number one picks like Kareem, Bron and now Wemby.
@@foundationsyth9825Actually he was hyped the issue was that non bigs where a big no no coming out as high schoolers a bunch of teams where high on Kobe but they allowed his age and the position he played to get in the way, you know he was hyped when people made a big deal about his annoucement to make the jump to the NBA
@Jean Payano yeah but you can't put him in the same convo as LeBron. LeBron was a prospect they were talking about being the best ever. Noone ever had that convo about any other prospect besides Kareem. Bryant wasn't even as hyped as Tim Duncan was
@@foundationsyth9825 Kobe hype wasn't as big as LeBron because the last high schoolers to go Pro before him & KG were Moses Malone & Daryl Dawkins.
He's saying the success of KG, Kobe (& T-Mac) HELPED build the hype for LeBron which is undeniably true. Kobe in HS was an absolute monster. He graduated the all-time leading scorer for the state of Pennsylvania over Wilt Chamberlain. His HS stats were just as good or better than MJ & LeBron lol.
I was around when the Kobe craze stuck. He went to prom with Brandy & was the media darling. The hype around Wemby is real considering they've been hyping him for the past two years & have showcased his French team. The NBA practically NEVER does that for INTL players.
I remember my dad taking me to see lebron in his senior year of high school. He was playing against Darryl strawberry son. He dropped 50 that night. Man amongst boys. I was prolly like 14. It was a magical night
i totally AGREE wth shannon….this VICTOR kid is JUST OVERLY HYPED!
Jodi Foster reference is why I love Shannon
I just hope he stay healthy 🙏🏽
7’5 remember yao Ming
@@robertv3616 Yao Ming was an hall of gamer but had healthy problem towards the end
@@chacarawilson1969 exactly my point he could be that
Wemby will be a disaster
8:45 and @ 9:01
Skip: “those people are gonna come and go… they’re gonna come and go. they’re not gonna last”
Shannon: “well let me come and get 50 million and I’ll go right on bout my business” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Skip a true hater
@@playahater19303:56 - 4:04… like that was kinda disrespectful based on everything Shannon said.
Shannon is the 🐐 for using coming to America reference 😂
Didn’t think Taxi Driver would come up in this conversation
I just saw a clip on Twitter of the ESPN into to lebron a first nationally televised high school game and the hype and pressure they put on Lebron was crazy . I mean they brought up every all time great player, in retrospect it was crazy that lebron was able to rise to the occasion
"Zion missed 60 games in a month!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Len Bias
42'+ Vertical 1st team all American and the Acc was unbelievable back then and Len was incredible. Players like Dawkins,Sally, Perkins, jordan, Green, Bailey, Sampson.
One name I *DIDN'T* expect to get dropped as a comparison was *JODIE FOSTER* 💀
But fr acclaimed actor's acclaimed career as a child being forgotten is an apt comparison low-key🤭
