LeBron wears Knicks towel after win, Does this mean something or nothing? | NBA | FIRST THINGS FIRST
LeBron threw on a Nicks towel which caused Brian windhorse to say this on his PO of course he was cognizant and aware that he was putting on a towel that said New York Knicks why would he mess with the Knicks because he was using them as a tool to pressure the
Lakers d d d quickly Brew before I ask you here was my take on the situation you’re one of the two greatest players ever if anyone has the authority to just go to the team just say it I don’t have time for the Sherlock home stuff which is what you said last I
Can’t figure it out the shirlock home stuff to move something or nothing I it’s nothing all right first of all these are the Tils that Nicks give out to the visiting teams and you saw Tori and Prince was walking off the court to other Lakers another Lakers player with
The same to all right but and I also talked to somebody close to LeBron today that said or text with him it’s it wasn’t a big thing um but I knowing LeBron myself as well like I didn’t see in his interview with Lisa Suter postgame when he had the T personally I
Didn’t feel like his body language was that like kind of yeah I’m trying to send a message I felt like he was I didn’t see any of that myself and I feel like he’s a guy that just played 40 minutes and is sweating and needed a
Towel I will say this though when LeBron was a free agent the first time and left Cleveland or second time left Cleveland went to Miami and I covered it closely and all that whole season New York was in a tizzy and everybody thought oh he
Might go to New York New York I did panel discussions where I was a moderator and LeBron’s on there we did stuff with his doc his movies more than the game like all that stuff and he did like the drama surrounding the thought that I might go to New York I don’t know
How seriously he ever considered going to the Knicks he said but he did like the it being out there that hey I might the things he said when he play at the Garden after the games hey I can’t remember what the quotes were but you know he played into it so could
There be something like that maybe but no I don’t think he’s going to end up on the Nick well no but I I think it’s something because he is continuing to show his restlessness and Wilds I thought made a really good point off the air last week
That I’ll now make on the air which is it is something else that LeBron is not resting on his Laurels at this point that LeBron is angry about rotations about who the seventh and eighth guys are that he doesn’t that he cares enough about another chance at another title or
A deep playoff run when the storyline could be he’s going to get to 40,000 points later this month or next month he’s going to have every record there is and he already as you say all the time on in passing is the greatest 39-year-old we’ve ever seen will be the
Greatest 40-year-old all these things he really does care and the question I have is do the Lakers let me let me ask you this cuz you you bring that up cuz you know I I was talking to somebody in the league a couple days ago and it’s like
We should really be celebrating this great career of LeBron James right and I’m not I don’t want a fair year tour farewell tour but when Jordan was with the Wizards there was no clamor let’s get him somebody who’s he good but he was good though he was a
Legitimate allar he was a 20 point score and all that stuff and I’m saying we just celebrated watching the great Michael Jordan even in a diminished State we should really be treasuring LeBron and I want to ask you because do you think that’s not happening I don’t
Think it’s happening I think we aren’t giving LeBron enough credit and and just enjoying how great he’s been and how great he is at this very moment we’re instead talking about he got to get a ring oh he can’t lead a team anymore with Anthony Davis was he need he is 39
And and what I want to ask you Nick is this and you do you think this is I’ve never seen a player at this stage of his career where every all everybody was focused on was him getting another ring and I feel like this is because it’s like LeBron’s in this Chase
Not just him but everybody making it that to get Jordan whether it’s five or six rings I feel like Jordan when Jordan was this age he was regarded as the greatest ever period by everybody he had passed magic and bird the guys he was chasing Kareem all that I think for
Those that haven’t and most haven’t yet said LeBron’s the goat there’s like we he got to get another he got to get another one and I think that’s what makes all of this noise around a 39y old well the the the celebration stuff I get
But being at the game and Nick was there when we went to see wanyama at the game as a trio if wemi did something we’re like oh we’re kind of there also to see wemi when LeBron caught like a little dunk in the first quarter Madison Square
Garden I’m sorry ramay exploded I was like what in the world it was one of the loudest visiting cheers I’d ever heard so why I think there might be a disconnect from Talking Heads and your average fan when he’s going to visiting Arenas and having them light up no but
It’s it’s the yeah it’s because of how he’s covered and the difference between how he is covered and how Jordan is covered Jordan when he came back to the Wizards didn’t had not caught Kareem Abdul Jabar in champ in in finals appearances they were tied in rings in
MVPs in points in any of the all he had no alltime records except for I think playoff points was the only one and that and everything else was points per okay sure but that’s yes I mean the absolutely and nobody he didn’t have more rings and
K or same same he had exactly but the media had decided and I think correctly in most people’s eyes he was the best ever LeBron’s entire last decade of his career no matter what he does the day after winning championships has been contextualize in well yes okay it’s very
Good and it’s cool and it’s fine but he’s this many away not good enough yet even and so it is to where him being better at 38 last year than Jordan was at 38 was used against him because Jordan at 38 was not considered viable that he could drag that Wizards team
Deep into the playoffs or even to the playoffs or even a 500 he didn’t have an Anthony Davis I mean that’s I’m not saying he’s as good as LeBron at that sh but but then LeBron drags the team there they get swept in the in the Conference Finals it’s like well that’s another
Year another season and where I’ve even heard people make the argument and I think you’ve said it not that you believe it but that it’s out there well that’s a 20th season now and only four R and now this is a1st season and so it is
Because the way in which this player is discussed is that he is the when he crosses a threshold that has always mattered it ceases to matter when it’s his name attached to it it’s the all-time points record that was we talked about it that was less of a story
In the moment leading up to it than Steph getting the all-time threes record the and and we have made the NBA and and the story of LeBron James about one thing can he get to six rings and by the way if he does we all know there are
Folks not just fans but in the media that will say yeah but he has those finals losses to go along with it 6 and0 versus 6 and4 and so six and six it would be so I just I think that you’re right that it is that is the conversation surrounding him but that’s
Because that’s what it’s been for the last decade thanks for watching subscribe here to get more from the show and to check out clipss from other shows on FS1

I like how CB changed the narrative from LBJ towel gate to celebrating LBJ. Lol
steph just dropped 60 lebron wore a towel this is what yall are talking ab
Ahhh here we are folks… football season ends and lebrauunn topics for the foreseeable future
I’m so tired of y’all covering for this coward. You’re not entitled to content for a title. He’s not good enough to carry a team anymore. Lakers get rid of this clown.
The media sucks off LeBron, Bru. That is why they want him to win another chip.
even if lebron play until he is 50, he still will not pass micheal jardon,,, he as failed 2 many times already
Lebron stop acting like a child and just say you want to be trade instead of trying to embarrass the Lakers organization!!! Even if the Knicks towel wasn't nothing. What about the Knicks shoes he had on!!! If he would have wore some Sacramento Kings shoes on Shaquille O'Neal's Lakers team they would have beat the horse shoes off Lebron 😂
How they gonna give Lebron credit when he leaves every team he’s been on when things get tough?
This might be the most pathetic title I’ve ever seen on a sports related video
Say what you want about LeBron, but we'll never see another superstar NBA Player manipulating the media the way he does.
Jordan at 38 had 6 rings, never lost in the finals and had multiple mvps. Lebron has less rings less mvps and has played longer. Quality > Quantity
It means he was sweaty and needed a towel.
Something outta Nothing 🤔
When LeBron called himself the goat is when everything changed. That's not something you claim for yourself. That's something that's earned and given to you by the public. LeBron put himself in this position. And I'm sick of everyone just saying "Oh, he's the second best player of all time…." Like it's been decided. It hasn't. And he's not.
Nick doesn't get it. People who don't think LeBron isn't the GOAT bring up that he hasn't caught Jordan after an accomplishment BECAUSE of guys like Nick who use it to say he is the GOAT. People who don't agree with that are going to say why but then it's used to say LeBron is persecuted as if it's disrespectful to have an opinion that he's not better than Jordan. LeBron's biggest fans are the reason all that exists. When you constantly put out there a statement many people don't agree with, you are going to get pushback and all the crying in the world will not change that. Learn to deal with it.
But they say Lebron creates the narratives
This is a stretch
Jordan and Kobe fans LeBron haters don't go last age 35 and try to use LeBron being elite for 21 years against me and repeat silly things Like it's a "longevity" award . As if playing at consistent maximum elite level is a bad thing
OMG here we go again / got no football so let’s go LeBron LeBron. Happy happy joy joy – nothing else to chat about till September…. Now don’t you all go about be forgetting Kobe when you start this chat about who is no2 because if he’s Jordan’s no2 then o’course LeBron can’t be higher than 3 but then again the man is used to getting them bronze medals 😂
The reason why lebron is covered that way is because he still hasn't passed Michael. it's quite simple, Nick.
LeBron and his lackeys like Nick already announced "King" as the GOAT and now they cry that its unfair we count his championships and compare them to MJ
So Jordan is 6-16 then? if im using the same math as everyone else, Lebron is just a better basketball player than MJ. Period. Jordan can score and played great defense for 4 yrs. And scorings not that hard when you take 60-70% of the shots. Ask Westbrook.
Trolling as always but sure, come on over.
Brian win.. windy is just a loser.. he rode Lebrons coattails because he knew how great he was gonna be.. now says random bs like this just to get clicks. 😅
Lebron James will not leave L.A he could leave the Lakers but not L.A 🤔
Nick spoke facts!
If you're not good enough to make the team you're playing for a top team in the league join a top team.
Just think if MJ spent a million dollars on his body and used PEDs like Bron.
Lebron is playing amazing for a player at his age and years in the game. He’s one of the greatest players ever. He’s not the missing piece for any championship caliber team that isn’t already there. He’s putting no team up a level to absolute NBA champion
I feel sorry for the Nick's this dude the false goat will destroy every good thing that is happening in New York
this is why Lebron isnt a goat to me too passive aggresive and a shrewd operator
Ahh….. the luck of the draft nick wright – the luck of the draft. I love, love the fact Patrick ended up with your childhood team but seriously you need to drop the LeBron narrative asap. Don’t be a skip in waiting twenty years down the line. Nice, happy nick is good nick and we don’t want a bitter old twisted nick because of your take on LeBron. It’s not to late to save yourself from the dark side my young padiwan 😁
Watching the games, how can you honestly talk about how great LeBron is playing? If it's just the stats with no context, fine. WATCHING him, though? He's lackluster on both ends of the court. He's a very smart player & knows how to get his points.
Lebron could win 2 more rings and honestly it would move the needle on how people feel about him. Either he is your goat now or isn’t that simple
If he is so WORRIED about winning, then he shouod play DEFENSE…. ANY !!! Watching the other team score then complaining at his teammates for not playing defense, is a winning formula
Is windhurst Lebron conscious or something?
Lebron did not drag the lakers in the playoffs. NICK SHUT UP!
2nd best player of all time 😂😂😂
Jordan tried on defense. He also turned that team into a playoff contender until he tore his meniscus.
BS Boussard!.. you are paid well..
Knicks fan aren't interested in Lebron joining at 40. We are more interested in Rich Paul burying the hatchet with Leon Rose to bring in Dejounte Murray whose Paul's client.
This is a non-story people lol
When him and Wade played there last game together he said it was either here meaning LA or the garden.
