Some of that is because of the conflicting voices in the locker room. If they want Lebron to coach then hire him.
“It’s just basketball”….Lebron James
They are overrated by this panel…. They are a 7 seed that had to go through the play in. Stop it. And they got the benefit from the challenge, an extra possession, took away free throws and an obvious foul!
He’s going back to Cleveland, trading for spidey.
It’s always excuses with this guy
Lebron, AD, DLo and Reeves all played 71+ games this year and this clown says “our season was derailed by injuries” . What a loser. He has an excuse for everything.
This is why the NBA and ESPN have lost over 50 percent of their viewership. Straight up 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Lakers were 3 missed free throws in games 2 & 5 from being up 3-2 going back to LA for game 6…let that sink in to everybody thinking Denver got the Lakers number. & thats without Vando, Wood, Reddish & a 1 armed AD
That last play by the Lakers was not smart. You don't pass the ball inbounds toward the sidelines. You pass the ball to a guy going towards the middle of the court. Both of your two all-stars were involved in this play.
Lebron and AD were setting up those excuses lol
Still trying to catch up with MJ and Kobe
Greeny was right should’ve avoided nuggets first round 😂😂😂
There's a pattern with LeBron. When he loses in a bad way. He tends to deflect and distract with his passive aggressiveness. Smart but we see right through it. It's not a good look for a man regarded as sublime of a player as him
Lebron should definitely leave the lakers end his career with the cavaliers
Sorry it say the lakers window is closed. AD is always hurt. Plus of offense side. People have give him the ball 2 feet from the basket. LeBron can't play defense. Cause of age and save for offenes side. Sign and trade LeBron. Take 15 and 17 picks. Try to trade AD. Not this summer. Next summer get free agents.
This iteration of the lakers is over. Blow the whole thing up, coach included. Sloppy passes, missed free throws, anemic defense and old bodies can’t compete anymore
I really don't ont like Monica's takes.
These clowns are still on about Lebron after he got embarrassed out of the playoffs. Nothing on the defending champions that dispatched the Lakers.
Clippers want bronny 🔴🔵

If it's about winning…go to GS obviously. Klay to lakers.
Self proclaimed goat can’t get a rebound for the season lmfao
Ruined this team forcing them to get Westbrook and trade away a good team now going to force them to draft his trash son then leave 😂 lakers need to get rid of Lebron my god, have some pride
Imagine the lakers losing 4-1 in the first round and espn in any capacity says “they dominated” 🤣🤣🤣
LBJ forever controlling the narrative
It’s jokers league now
They are pointing the finger at everyone but LeBron
Unbelievable posturing by Windy: who has promoted LeBron for decades.
News Flash: There is a growing distrust for LeBron outside of the ESPN circles. We see an extreme egotist that loves his accomplishments more than the game itself.
We see a player that spits out players, coaches, front offices, and refs when they give him any resistance or dissatisfaction.
We see a player that walks up and down the court, plays laxadazile defense, and has childish tantrums during games.
We have seen a quasa manager manipulate rosters to get his way: regardless of the future locations and financial burdens.
We have seen a player that has a strong longevity record, but is not the superstar of his prime and cannot be counted on to win games.
In other words, LeBron no longer has leverage to apply pressure on the Lakers.
Greeny, bring up your suggestion about the Lakers' Play In Tournament
Do you think those Lakers lead by LeBronze must be regretting not losing the game with Pelicans…with all the injuries to key players (Murrray, KCP & Jackson) on the Nuggets…they may not get pass the Timberwolves now
Need to get rid no clue ham
Disgusting bias for the Lakers! I would never click on another video knowingly with Jay Will, McNutt, and Greenberg in it. I’m disappointed in Windy with this segment
#CurtisGolphinToWaddesdon
why isnt LEespn sayn anything bout LEzesty ramone shames threatenin that female fan?😑😑
THIS CORPULENT BOVINE SHOULD PAY LEBRON JAMES 1K A MONTH FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE
JAY WILLIAMS NEEDS TO SPEAK ABOUT THE ANTI BLACK RACISM AT DUKE UNIVERSITY WHICH HAS ELIMINATED THE ", REGINALDO HOWARD MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM " GRANT HILL, JOHNNY DAWKINS, TOM AMAKER , KYRIE IRVING NEED TO SPEAK ABOUT THE ANTI BLACK RACISM OF DUKE UNIVERSITY
HE SOFT
Did Jay Williams really say Ham is an incredible coach? 😮
LEBRON IS A LIAR!!!!
The Lakers did not have any major injury issues this season!!!!! Lebron and Anthony Davis played more games this season that any season as Lakers. They both played over 70 games this season. The Top 6 players on the team all played over 70 games.
PLAYOFF MURRAY IS HIM!! I called it Denver in 5 games. There was no way the Lakers were getting swept back to back years. Jokic played great and score a lot of points without free throws. The refs really kept the Lakers in the game shooting 27 free throws compared to Denver 9. The Lakers won championship in December the IST was a joke and the Lakers should hang out “didn’t get swept by Denver in 2024” banner. LeBron should leave the Lakers and go back to Cleveland for a 3rd time I doubt it happens though
40k point 4 rings 4mvp 4fmvp its the curse of 4 and retire if 4k point its the curse of 4…next year he will be on the front of the TV 😂
Lebron is 40. They need rebuilding.
The fake GOAT is the NBA all time turnovers leader, second all time in missed shots and has the most playoff losses in NBA history. That's not the greatest basketball player ever.
Why does ESPN care so much about LeBron James? I don't understand. This man gets eliminated from championship contention 4 years in a row and all they can talk about is trade packages and deals that can boost LeBron's chances of winning another title. Another GOAT in the league named Stephen Curry would also like to pursue another title, but all people can talk about is boosting LeBron's chances of another championship. If anything, Steph is more deserving of another title because he has better emotion regulation when things don't go his way, and he has greater respect for other players as human beings and doesn't treat them like pawns that are only there to enhance his legacy.
Even the game announcers didn't know the convoluted challenge rules.
His future at this point needs to be retirement. What franchise is going to sacrifice their future to appease an aging superstar? Maybe he needs to come to terms that he will not win another championship.
The Lakers lost because they don't play the game the right way. Like most teams today.
Jesuse Christ, how much does Lebron need?Every year its the same thing with this guy.
You are not welcomed no more ,people dislike you because you have been the cash cow for decades and people are just tired of always talking about u and jordan its stupid ..respect your kids and stay with them
