LeBron James on playing Victor Wembanyama 🗣️ ‘He’s SPECIAL!’ | NBA on ESPN
All right LeBron first significant minutes for you in a couple of weeks uh looked pretty explosive out there how did you feel physically I felt pretty good um I was pretty I was more surprised how how good my win was uh ankle held up pretty good uh a little
Sore but uh you know I was able to come out and I help the team win that’s most important always something a little special about going against number one picks you of course have seen 20 of them since you were what did you make of Vic
Tonight oh I said it from the beginning that he’s uh he’s special you know and uh you know he has an unbelievable coach that’s going to make sure that he does things the right way play the game the right way and he’s going to continue to develop but he’s already special but
He’s going to continue to get better and better and better you know each and every game each and every year that he steps on his floor you of course have a lot of history with Greg pic going back to that Series in the finals when how you changed your game afterwards how has
That evolved to the point where you just go over and say hello tonight uh just the utmost respect one of the greatest coaches of all time but more importantly one of the best people of all time that I’ve ever been around and and uh you know I love everything about Coach pop
And you know to be able to share the floor with him to be able to talk to him and be and have a friendship that we have it’s um is very special to me all right so you guys get the victory tonight now just a few games really
Remaining for the rest of the season where do you guys have to get to to find the type of Rhythm that you want to climb up the standings uh just keep playing Lakers basketball you know we got to keep defending we got to keep sharing the ball offensively don’t turn
The ball over don’t give up Second Chance points on the on the the defensive end and then uh try to get as healthy as we can going on the stretch so you know that’s been uh Killy Hill for the last couple years uh this year it’s haunted us a little bit but guys
Are getting in good Rhythm as each and every game and hopefully we can get some more guys back soon appreciate LeBron I appreciate you

he is special but he should change his first name from victor to defeat
To all the people asking why bron didn’t play the other game, he has a ankle injury and it tends to be sore and have no mobility to move at all sometimes, you should even be grateful that bron is still showing up to games and being consistent throughout the season at 39 years of age
Everybody knows Pop is The Best NBA Coach ever . . . he Develops Talent.
"ay man, i knew that kid would be a prodigy since the begging"
A near Quintuple Double from Wemby. Alien 👽
Bron is tryna buy time for playoff run
I've never Hated A Player As much As You ✌️
Bron still got the mark from that camera on his head
I knew this guy was going to come back in the next game against a weak team this dude is not fooling anyone but himself he will never be the goat point blank period!!!!! ain’t nothing wrong with his ankle!!!
Class act
Why not play against the warriors? This is the 2nd time he's done this. He did it in boston too
Class act
Leglazzzeerrrrr
This man is only something cuz of height the hype is real smh
“How he changed his game after the finals series?? 🤨”they guarded him with 5 players tf kinda question is that ? Got better talent/ HOFers and started winning. 07 spurs changed nothing.. just a experience team he / cavs ran into
Enjoy Lebron while he's still playing. You'll miss him when he's gone.
LeBron: my ankle is sore, but I feel good enough to help my team win (against the sorry Spurs), but he couldnt help his team win against the Warriors😂😂
Lebron a spur would be amazing
It's time to retire bro.
As good as AD is now, Wemby will be in another 5 months
Why was LeFlop Jamez scared to play Steph Curry the day before? 🤣🤣🤣
This was the game he was supposed to rest not against the Warriors. Him and the coach are clueless
He’s so special his team has 11 wins lolz
💪
It crazy how we just casually accept a man almost 40 still consistently dropping 30+😂 LeKing.
Lebron james is great he gives 3 different teams a chips and a swept in 3 different decades no one can ever do that.
Dropping 30 against spurs?
🥱
He's probably top 5-7 all time range Lebron that is
Wemby already surpassed Jordan. He is already a better player!
Lebron going to the spurs
Dude put up at least 5 of like everything. Points, rebounds, blocks, steals, assists. Wemby is good.
Gabe Vincent the new Kendrick Nunn. litteraly signed and quit basketball
Yea but u FLAKED OUT VS THE WARRIOS.. a huge FAKER PLAYER OF ALL TIME.. I thought it was SHAQ because he put a CELTIC jersey trying to win a championship to tie Kobe, but u got the award fake LEBUM James 👎🤬
That’s where LeBron might go next….San Antonio…they might even Draft Bronny next year 😉😁
Wow what a compliment coming from arguably the 2nd goat
Lebrons voice sound deeper than usual
LBJ needs to look beyond the health reason for not winning . They still need to get one more legit plater who has the skills and mindset to win crucial games
Its current roster ,even when healthy just cant win the uktimate prize
