Thing is, if you put teams together to beat one player it's no question about fear. He was by himself and teams put top level talent players together and not oldhead players to stop him. Getting MVP's to join other MVP's in order to beat him is an indictment against any BS any player says about LeBron.
@Cashmere J you kids amuse me with your lack of knowledge on basketball history. Players like Buck Williams, Byron Scott, James Worthy, Charles Barkley, Jerome Kersey, Bryon Russell, etc. are not the pushovers you insinuate they are. I’ll just all that up to your ignorance of 90s basketball. But the funny thing is that you bring up lebron’s finals competition without mentioning that HE LOST MORE TIMES THAN HE WON. That is not the bragging point that you lebron fans pretend it is. 🤣🤣😏
@Parker Mudsen ok, when he played in the real game which is the Finals, he played against even or better talent. Jordan played against Crate & Barrell mofos. Being guarded by no frills player like Jordan you should put up numbers. LeBron played against UPPER ROOM TALENT. Jordan played against Pink dudes and had his worst Finals against the only defensive team he faced in Seattle. 2nd 3-Peat he had 4 HOFERs going against 1/2. Please stop it!
Shaq was literally the last person to recognize Giannis greatness, other teams, analyst and fans all seen how great was while Shaq still couldn’t pronounce his name on live tv.
Nobody "feared" Tim Duncan either but he still was extremely productive and an all time great. Fear is not a litmus test to how great of a player one is.
I’m a die hard Lakers fan, Shaq is a pillar of our franchise. Respectfully, the league has never had to worry about a single man longer and more than LeBron James.
@BenDallas not true.a league being more physical does not make it tougher.jordan had no competition in 90's as bird was.retired and kareem was no longer around. jordan could not beat the pistons in their prime and went to game 7 and lost because he didn't have pippen and jordan could not win 1 game without pippen in winner take all so that proves jordan is not invincible and destroys everyone like people say
Right. I'm tired of this sh*t. LeBron this LeBron that. Even when it's another matchup currently playing they just gotta throw his name in a few times. 🤦🏿♂️
@Red Magic Premiere watch one of the other million coverages and leave my Favorite sports talk show alone. Actually, keep it up. You are fueling 2 of my Role-models 😂. If you think you know sports, let’s mental Jedi and see if you actually know anything around the horn. Or even just one sport in particular. I’ll even give you a head start by narrowing the topic to suit your needs
I'm not even a big fan of Michael or Skip but I get what they mean. Simply put nobody ever accused players like Michael, Bird, or Kobe of quitting. You knew those guys were competitive to the point of being considered psycho to some. They play to the last second no quitting just rabid man and it's frightening to play against that. I want to fight the guy who knows when to walk away instead of the guy who keeps coming back like he Rocky Balboa vs Creed.
“They just weren’t good enough” skips logic kills me . Is 73-9 good enough? won the championship in 2015 and steph won two mvps . They were MORE than good enough. Then they had to get Durant just to beat Lebron
@Ron Swanson love was not outplaying nobody sorry man. Dray back then would have spurts of 20-30pt games and elite playmaking defense. Dray was a superstar and one of the top pf in the game mid 2010s.
Nobody has ever feared LeBron he doesn't have that killer instinct in him. On the other hand people feared Michael Jordan they didn't want to give him any motivation to go off, and Shaq was feared because you couldn't stop him accept for at the free-throw line.
@henrylowery3297 Again nobody fears LeBron James he's just not built like that. It's the same way with Tim Duncan nobody feared Tim, but it doesn't take anything away from his greatness he could put up numbers. If you notice I never said LeBron wasn't a great player, but he isn't a killer on the court that's not how he plays. That Celtic team you speak of if I remember correctly Larry Bird said MJ was Jesus in disguise. Larry knew he had the better overall team, but MJ was the better player. If you take Kyrie out of that series against the 73-9 Warriors the CAVS lose. LeBron is great, but not on the level of Jordan or Shaq they were monsters at their positions.
@courtlam79 since you're so wise, what does it mean when a team puts together 3 all NBA players to beat a 22 yr old with little support. What's that if not fear of never being able to beat him again. Or what does it mean when a 73 win team Flys out to recruit a MVP level player. That was because the two top teams in the West knew they had no chance of beating LeBron. Also the pistons didn't fear Jordan, they simply put together a game plan to win the series. The Celtics didn't fear him, (too busy sweeping him out the playoffs). Cut the media bias and use logic to think for yourself.
@Cash_world23 Tell me your 12 years old without telling me your 12 years old. Nobody has ever feared LeBron he's not that type of player. Jordan and Shaq were 2 of the most feared players to ever play the game. Jordan's will to win was unmatched, and Shaq's physical dominance was unmatched. You literally know absolutely nothing about basketball.
The best of people felt they could beat him so that's y they don't fear him. There were some people who were scared but the high achieving people aren't scared of him they just grabbed people because they knew it could get the job done to beat him. Not scared tho
This comment is so dumb. I'm not afraid of the ufc fighter but I'm gonna get 2 more ufc fighters with me because that will get the job done. It's not that I'm afraid of getting beat up in a one on one. The idiocy lol
Demar Derozan after a loss in the playoffs in 2018 said "if we had Lebron we woulda won too". Lebron's first year in the west, Paul Millsap told him "I left the east to avoid you and now you're in the West"
@Above Below xABx but there are nba players. Why kg Paul pierce Jason Terry formed a team in Brooklyn in 2014? Why gsw called kd to join the warriors after 2016? Why kg said out his mouth during interview saying. We didn't fear lebron because he can't be all five of us when he was with Boston during 2008 - 2010 seasons. 23 year old lebron james took the big 3 Boston to 7 games in 2008. Should I say more? Stop the cap
@Showtimej25 Plus I watched Kevin Garnett on All the Smoke. Not Once did he mention Lebron James when he spoke on why he decided to join Boston. So idk why Shannon thinks Boston was even scared of him either
@Showtimej25 We’re talking about the Big 3 Celtics. The Spurs. The Lakers. Dallas. The Warriors. Not no damn B list teams that barely made it past the first and second rounds of the playoffs🤣
I think because Lebron surrounded himself with other great players who can take over games in the offensive side ( Wade & then Allen came along with the Heat, then Kyrie with Clevland, AD with the Lakers) it was more of fearing the group rather than the individual. Shaq isn’t the only one who has mentioned that before, others have said similar things that can be viewed in the same way Shaq said it.
skip will never accept the famous saying "THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOMEBODY BETTER THAN YOU OUT THERE" meaning eventually there will be somebody better than Jordan. He also needs to understand that the game changes over time and talent comes in different ways.
Shannon is half right. There was fear but it wasn't from the players. It was the fans of opposing teams and MJ fans. Fans are completely helpless against the power of King James because we have all witnessed his extreme talent and have to admit that no one has done more with less and get a team to the championship. We all knew immediately that all he needed was 2 more superstars and he would be a threat to MJ
Players respected LeBron but they never feared LeBron. Players were afraid to talk trash to MJ because of what he would to them on the court after those words came out of their mouth or when he saw them next time on the court.
I remember when LeBron transferred his talents to the west back in 2018-19 and Giannis states “he’s glad LeBron left the east now he doesn’t have to deal with dude.” But “nobody fears LeBron.” Now Giannis is more feared than KD in the east because he’s the most dominate and best player in that conference.
Lebron just fled the Eastern Conference in the summer of 2018 when it started to be though and GREAT AGAIN but it didn't matter he got the taste of THE WESTERN CONFERENCE as he epically failed for 5 YEARS in total. Couldn't 🧁 his way to Finals like in them Weak Eastern Conference's years just tells u REALITY 🤡
@Ryan Baumgart look at their record this season when they had him and when he was injured. Just like Jordan is nothing without Pippen. Jordan can't take lame team to the finals. LeBron did it. He was in the NBA Finals at 22 years old with a garbage supporting cast. while jordan needed pippen and then rodman.
Then they skip the fact Boston actually put the big three together to deal with Kobe and the lake show not labron who wasn’t even a factor then Ijs 🤷🏾♂️
Everything LeShannon said had no validation whatsoever! 1. It wasn't the same 04 Pistons LeBron beat in 07 bec both 4 time DPOY defensive unit Ben.W and HoF Coach Brown wasn't in them team in 07. That's like talking taking off Rodman and Phil Zen master off the Bulls. 2. There is no proof or evidence that The Celtics built their team bec of LeBron. As Pierce was 1 year from free agency at the time and they didn't wanna ruin his chances with him entering his peak so they had the opportunity for both Ray and KG in difficult deals. Tho The Toronto series they were scared indeed. So I give him that.
@ohhh yeahhh You don't know for a fact both KG and Ray Allen weren't in contact with Paul Pierce prior to joining him in Boston. All you're doing is speculating
lol coming back to this after KP went on a podcast to confess that he prayed to god that LeBron would tear an ACL in practice before playing them in a game 7
I had a debate with someone a couple months ago bout the fear of mj and the lack of fear of Lebron the best analogy I can make is nobody feared Daniel larusso but everyone feared Johnny Lawrence and cobra Kai both great but there’s a difference in the fear levels they possessed
I like how he could only name DeRozan & Lowry 😂 I don’t even think they were ‘afraid’ of Lebron, he was just on an entirely different level & was very difficult to beat over a 7-game series
I’m not a LeBron guy but you can’t say LeBron didn’t put the fear of god in the whole raptors organization. And golden state went and begged for KD because they were afraid they wouldn’t be able to hold off LeBron. And Miami heat LeBron James was literally from another planet. Mike still the goat but skip talking like LeBron just some guy who was lucky to win some titles
@HonorRollStudent51 A "Super team" (that had NO WINNERS) that was formed by the FRONT OFFICE and the GM bec the saw what The Lakers organisation were cooking for Kobe in LA as they finally had a chance to compete for them 🏆 between them 2 Classic historical teams.
@HotSpotCasino🔥 you have nothing to prove anything you’re saying at all but go off 😂😂 you’re just a hater, and that’s okay. Just don’t lie 💀 whining will get you nowhere bud PS: “I sound so right” sounds a lot more like you’re trying to convince yourself rather than trying to convince me or anyone else for that matter
Shaq was speaking from the heart , Shaq is from the Jordan era where players feared assassin's like Kobe Jordan and himself lebron want s to b friends with everyone no Killa instinct
As a magic fan and as a Shaq fan HO34 not only wiped the floor with Shaq he resurfaced it, buffed it, polished it finally built a mansion around that beautiful floor.
Shaq saying nobody fears Lebron. Skip: He one of the best to ever play so he knows what he's talking about. Shaq says if Lebron passes Kareem for most points he will be the GOAT. Skip: Shaq doesn't know anything about basketball.
I think LeBrons hit or miss shooting is why players don't fear LeBron he can get super hot sometimes maybe like once a season he'll hit 7 or 8 3s in a game, if he shot a little better like especially from the freethrow line he would be feared but when LeBron is coming down hill there's definitely fear real fear. You almost have to move or foul because you getting dunked on forsure.
Shaq literally said "Lebron puts fear in peoples hearts" before. Shaq was a great player, but that doesn't mean we should take his opinion seriously. These retired players are biased af.
Loading up on good players doesn't mean you fear someone. It means your trying to win a championship. Big difference between fearing a player and trying to advance your team.
@jay dot LeBron is chasing both them brothers in chips. He wants to unseat their G O A T, positions missing the playoffs on bad teams will Not get him there. Kobe legacy changed, when he lost with Shaq, Payton & Malone. Let's Not forget LeBron lost in his prime, with the best team in Miami twice.
@williamshoven so why hasn’t Jordan’s legacy changed when he missed the playoffs both years in Washington or why hasn’t Kobe’s legacy changed when he was on a bad Lakers team the last few years of his career? And both Kobe and Jordan weren’t playing anywhere near the level Lebron is playing at 37 years old.
I'm always taken aback by how many people in the media and in basketball circles Have so many negative things to say about Lebron James. If he meant so little to the game then they wouldn't be talking about him.
Little? He's a MEDIA MADE PLAYER that has been pushed all time high. Nothing to do with GREATNESS bec if so WHY he's THE ONLY MVP in NBA HISTORY with the most Finals L's 👀
I think what Shannon said sums it up “how you fear somebody that didn’t take a game off you?” That’s your answer homie, MJ was different. The “fear” that Shannon is talking about with GS gettin KD isn’t the same level of fear that MJ gave the entire league. Skip been doing this awhile but he be missing a lot of openings in Shannon’s arguments I think.
Shaq played with Lebron early in his career, so there’s something he must have seen up close and personal. I will say Lebron was a monster that first run in Cleveland, which to me was his best basketball, except the last playoff run before Miami.
It's all about intangibles and perception. Kobe and Mike were highly feared for sure, they were doing more emotional and phychological damage (attitude, trashtalk, eye contact, ego, killer instinct,...). In the other hand, we have lebron with his great talent, his massive gifted body but also his friendly approach, his hilarious stories and his role model image (son, husband, father, community engagement, etc.). Nobody fear that. It's all about perception, nothing to do with talents... for many years the league was afraid from Ron artest, Bill laimbeer and Charles oakley.
Shannon argue like he reads Twitter all day. He really said a “top 75” player like that’s a real thing. All the original 50 players are on that list Lol
Hakeem was skilled with beautiful spin moves off the postup , ball fakes , mid range juper and superior quickness. Too many weapons for Shaq. Shaq was an effective raw brute compared to the Dream....
@Popeye Bogey LeBron's not even top 5 so Shannon, Nick Wrong & ESPN can change there weak narrative already b/c everyone else is kicking LeBron out there too 5 b/c he's lost too damn much with so much help.
@Key Mold whether Your a MJ stan or LBJ stan shannon is completely right you can't have it both ways so it suits your argument & stop mentioning another man's private area yall clowns suspect..
Check out Club Shay Shay with Shannon Sharpe: foxs.pt/shayshay
@Lace Green I always thought it was a hard shot to make kareem made it look so easy sx y
@Lace Green from outside 6to 10ft lequit shoots about oh 28 to 35 % why do you think teams leave him so open
@Yvetter Harris that just means he couldnt shoot free throws
@Yvetter Harris back then the east was pretty sad
You can definitely tell Skip is the one who picks the discussions on the show 😂
how do you tell that?
@Black Night Except for GS and Boston and Toronto
Nobody is scared of lebron just like he said
No he don't stop hating
Thing is, if you put teams together to beat one player it's no question about fear. He was by himself and teams put top level talent players together and not oldhead players to stop him. Getting MVP's to join other MVP's in order to beat him is an indictment against any BS any player says about LeBron.
@Herbalizer28 you spoke nothing but facts
What NBA you watching bro? Teams out here trying to beat the Warriors and imitating Steph Curry.
@Tony Sherley And also lost.
@Cashmere J you kids amuse me with your lack of knowledge on basketball history. Players like Buck Williams, Byron Scott, James Worthy, Charles Barkley, Jerome Kersey, Bryon Russell, etc. are not the pushovers you insinuate they are. I’ll just all that up to your ignorance of 90s basketball.
But the funny thing is that you bring up lebron’s finals competition without mentioning that HE LOST MORE TIMES THAN HE WON. That is not the bragging point that you lebron fans pretend it is. 🤣🤣😏
@Parker Mudsen ok, when he played in the real game which is the Finals, he played against even or better talent. Jordan played against Crate & Barrell mofos. Being guarded by no frills player like Jordan you should put up numbers. LeBron played against UPPER ROOM TALENT. Jordan played against Pink dudes and had his worst Finals against the only defensive team he faced in Seattle. 2nd 3-Peat he had 4 HOFERs going against 1/2. Please stop it!
Shaq was literally the last person to recognize Giannis greatness, other teams, analyst and fans all seen how great was while Shaq still couldn’t pronounce his name on live tv.
@Michael Johnson what super team? Golden state was the super team 💀
@Michael Johnson cavs came back from 3-1 to a warriors team that had 70+ wins
@Stefan Papdi yea 100% but it wasn’t a superteam, I think 2015, 17 and 18 could’ve been easy rings for LeBron if it wasn’t for injuries and Kd
@Down Bad Ichigo they woulda beat gsw without kd. Cavs had all players injured and would have 2 peated
@Michael Johnson if you think the 2015 cavs was a superteam you honestly don’t know basketball at all
This was one of the best episodes of all time😂
You have to love these two, they are perfect for each other
Nobody "feared" Tim Duncan either but he still was extremely productive and an all time great. Fear is not a litmus test to how great of a player one is.
@Eduardo Cruz He was bout to tho. He was definitely on his way to Orlando until they said he couldn’t travel with his wife on the plane.
We're talking about the GOAT, not any old all time great.
i think people feared Duncan. He was just quiet about it
NO ONE RESPECTS LEFRAUD BLAMES EVER. PAST OR PRESENT.
@T Reese You get a player as great as Lebron, you build around his strengths and that's exactly what Pop would've done.
I’m a die hard Lakers fan, Shaq is a pillar of our franchise. Respectfully, the league has never had to worry about a single man longer and more than LeBron James.
“#1 seed, #2 seed, it doesn’t matter to the Cleveland Cavaliers because Lebron puts fear in your heart”
- Shaquille O’Neal, 4 years ago
@BenDallas not true.a league being more physical does not make it tougher.jordan had no competition in 90's as bird was.retired and kareem was no longer around. jordan could not beat the pistons in their prime and went to game 7 and lost because he didn't have pippen and jordan could not win 1 game without pippen in winner take all so that proves jordan is not invincible and destroys everyone like people say
@iconkrys umm dude, the league was way more stacked in Jordan's day than LeBron's lol
@iconkrys man got swept in 2018 harden took the warriors to 7 that year and the clippers took em to 6 lebron couldn’t even win one game 😂😂😂😂
@iconkrys 10 finals appearances got swept twice I’ll take 6-0 record and 2 3peats and bill russel played wit rn plumbers cmon now 😂
“The Chosen one turned into the Frozen one” 😂 🤣 😭 Skip kills me
😂
Mj wasn’t chosen but Lebron was . It’s bigger then basketball
Protect skip at all cost!lol
Hakeem definitely wiped the floor with shaq 😂😂😂
And rodman
It was hilarious watching Shannon try to get a word in from 17:12 to 17:31😂
Skip and Shannon are pure GOLD, I hope they never go off air
As someone who worked those games in Toronto, we weren’t scared, we just couldn’t stop that team.
Oh god they are really going to talk about LeBron the entire playoffs and finals.
@CPGoat #3 FACTS
Right. I'm tired of this sh*t. LeBron this LeBron that. Even when it's another matchup currently playing they just gotta throw his name in a few times. 🤦🏿♂️
Jesus really Loves you and wants you to accept him as your Lord and alsosaviour
@Red Magic Premiere watch one of the other million coverages and leave my Favorite sports talk show alone. Actually, keep it up. You are fueling 2 of my Role-models 😂. If you think you know sports, let’s mental Jedi and see if you actually know anything around the horn. Or even just one sport in particular. I’ll even give you a head start by narrowing the topic to suit your needs
From his 2nd year in Miami he was absolutely terrifying
I'm not even a big fan of Michael or Skip but I get what they mean. Simply put nobody ever accused players like Michael, Bird, or Kobe of quitting. You knew those guys were competitive to the point of being considered psycho to some. They play to the last second no quitting just rabid man and it's frightening to play against that. I want to fight the guy who knows when to walk away instead of the guy who keeps coming back like he Rocky Balboa vs Creed.
“They just weren’t good enough” skips logic kills me . Is 73-9 good enough? won the championship in 2015 and steph won two mvps . They were MORE than good enough. Then they had to get Durant just to beat Lebron
@Ron Swanson love was not outplaying nobody sorry man. Dray back then would have spurts of 20-30pt games and elite playmaking defense. Dray was a superstar and one of the top pf in the game mid 2010s.
Match up wise, Cleveland was a better team. K Love and Kyrie were there outplaying Dray and Klay.
Everyone needs a friend like Shannon
Skip: “I was there in the front row.” Skip be cappin man😂😂
On god 😂
Skip K. Kirkland .. .
Facts are facts cuz plain and simple if your there in person live then you know. "You don't know unless ya know"
I know and agree that his takes arn’t good sometimes, but he was in the front row a lot… you have to be very young to not know that.
He was a columnist
It's amazing how many ways they are able to insert LeBron into this show on a regular basis.
Thats cause people got podcasts and speaking their minds today so there is a lot of information out there to challenge.
Lebum is the media champion
Then don’t watch 😂
yall act like they the only big media show that brings up lebron get out yall feelings
Lebron is also all Skip talks about on Twitter. Man’s on his mind 24/7 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️😂😂😂
I love when Shannon lose it and upset. That just made my day
Nobody has ever feared LeBron he doesn't have that killer instinct in him. On the other hand people feared Michael Jordan they didn't want to give him any motivation to go off, and Shaq was feared because you couldn't stop him accept for at the free-throw line.
@henrylowery3297 Again nobody fears LeBron James he's just not built like that. It's the same way with Tim Duncan nobody feared Tim, but it doesn't take anything away from his greatness he could put up numbers. If you notice I never said LeBron wasn't a great player, but he isn't a killer on the court that's not how he plays. That Celtic team you speak of if I remember correctly Larry Bird said MJ was Jesus in disguise. Larry knew he had the better overall team, but MJ was the better player. If you take Kyrie out of that series against the 73-9 Warriors the CAVS lose. LeBron is great, but not on the level of Jordan or Shaq they were monsters at their positions.
@courtlam79 since you're so wise, what does it mean when a team puts together 3 all NBA players to beat a 22 yr old with little support. What's that if not fear of never being able to beat him again. Or what does it mean when a 73 win team Flys out to recruit a MVP level player. That was because the two top teams in the West knew they had no chance of beating LeBron. Also the pistons didn't fear Jordan, they simply put together a game plan to win the series. The Celtics didn't fear him, (too busy sweeping him out the playoffs). Cut the media bias and use logic to think for yourself.
@Cash_world23 Tell me your 12 years old without telling me your 12 years old. Nobody has ever feared LeBron he's not that type of player. Jordan and Shaq were 2 of the most feared players to ever play the game. Jordan's will to win was unmatched, and Shaq's physical dominance was unmatched. You literally know absolutely nothing about basketball.
😂😂😂 try again troll
Shannon: “they couldn’t do nothing wit’m
Skip:”hmmm”
Shannon:”they saw a 22 year old kid”
Skip:”hmm”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think what Shaq meant was they don't fear him to double team him. Many times they dare LeBron to shoot (That was San Antonio's game plan)
The best of people felt they could beat him so that's y they don't fear him. There were some people who were scared but the high achieving people aren't scared of him they just grabbed people because they knew it could get the job done to beat him. Not scared tho
This comment is so dumb. I'm not afraid of the ufc fighter but I'm gonna get 2 more ufc fighters with me because that will get the job done. It's not that I'm afraid of getting beat up in a one on one. The idiocy lol
Demar Derozan after a loss in the playoffs in 2018 said "if we had Lebron we woulda won too". Lebron's first year in the west, Paul Millsap told him "I left the east to avoid you and now you're in the West"
@Cameron Dempsey yo you cold for that one Demar "Depression" ☻️
@Above Below xABx but there are nba players. Why kg Paul pierce Jason Terry formed a team in Brooklyn in 2014? Why gsw called kd to join the warriors after 2016? Why kg said out his mouth during interview saying. We didn't fear lebron because he can't be all five of us when he was with Boston during 2008 - 2010 seasons. 23 year old lebron james took the big 3 Boston to 7 games in 2008. Should I say more? Stop the cap
@Bob fear is fear lol no matter how much you try to downplay it
@Showtimej25 Plus I watched Kevin Garnett on All the Smoke. Not Once did he mention Lebron James when he spoke on why he decided to join Boston. So idk why Shannon thinks Boston was even scared of him either
@Showtimej25 We’re talking about the Big 3 Celtics. The Spurs. The Lakers. Dallas. The Warriors. Not no damn B list teams that barely made it past the first and second rounds of the playoffs🤣
I think because Lebron surrounded himself with other great players who can take over games in the offensive side ( Wade & then Allen came along with the Heat, then Kyrie with Clevland, AD with the Lakers) it was more of fearing the group rather than the individual. Shaq isn’t the only one who has mentioned that before, others have said similar things that can be viewed in the same way Shaq said it.
the way skip is saying Mhmmm to shannon is killing me🤣🤣🤣
Just because he beat teams don’t mean ppl were scared of him
Obviously they did 🤡
Just because Jordan won 6 rings doesnt mean people feared him
skip will never accept the famous saying "THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOMEBODY BETTER THAN YOU OUT THERE" meaning eventually there will be somebody better than Jordan. He also needs to understand that the game changes over time and talent comes in different ways.
and we still searching for that player. its not lbj
I like how skip just dances around Shannon’s questions when he fired back at him😂😂🤦🏽♂️ he just knows he’s wrokng
Every time
Shannon: "remember back in 87' when magic hit that baby hook"
Skip: "yeah i was there in the front row"
🤣
Hope I'm that lucky to live that long
Skip be there and still be lying 😂
@Memo 😭💀😆
Skip was everywhere. Gtfoh
Shannon and Skip are HILAAARIOUS. 🤣🤣🤣
Shaq also said Lebron put fear in your heart so he’s obviously conflicted.
Shaq was prob referring to guys not fearing that they can't beat lebron..he's been very beatable especially on the biggest stage.
Shannon is half right. There was fear but it wasn't from the players. It was the fans of opposing teams and MJ fans. Fans are completely helpless against the power of King James because we have all witnessed his extreme talent and have to admit that no one has done more with less and get a team to the championship. We all knew immediately that all he needed was 2 more superstars and he would be a threat to MJ
Players respected LeBron but they never feared LeBron. Players were afraid to talk trash to MJ because of what he would to them on the court after those words came out of their mouth or when he saw them next time on the court.
I remember when LeBron transferred his talents to the west back in 2018-19 and Giannis states “he’s glad LeBron left the east now he doesn’t have to deal with dude.” But “nobody fears LeBron.” Now Giannis is more feared than KD in the east because he’s the most dominate and best player in that conference.
Lebron just fled the Eastern Conference in the summer of 2018 when it started to be though and GREAT AGAIN but it didn't matter he got the taste of THE WESTERN CONFERENCE as he epically failed for 5 YEARS in total.
Couldn't 🧁 his way to Finals like in them Weak Eastern Conference's years just tells u REALITY 🤡
Nyahahahha
@John Jovanovich Wick more respected than Kd rings but not lebrons huh😂😂😂😘😂😂
@Ryan Baumgart look at their record this season when they had him and when he was injured. Just like Jordan is nothing without Pippen. Jordan can't take lame team to the finals. LeBron did it. He was in the NBA Finals at 22 years old with a garbage supporting cast. while jordan needed pippen and then rodman.
@iconkrys what did draymond do with no Steph and klay? lol
Shaq and others have a bad memory when things not going right. Of course, all teams feared a man that got his teams to finals so consistently.
Skip is the king of justifying his contradictions we see you Shannon lol
No one admits to fearing an opponent they're still playing against. It's when it's said and done they finally admit it.
The amount of times Skip says “go look at the numbers” why he never bringing the numbers if they so important 🤣🤣
Everybody said they feared Michael. They talked about it all on Sports Center
11:50 “fear factor turned the other way” Skip just sold on himself😭😂😂
@RonBoss_08 lol 😂 you said best!
He folded 😭
Then they skip the fact Boston actually put the big three together to deal with Kobe and the lake show not labron who wasn’t even a factor then Ijs 🤷🏾♂️
This has to be the most legit comment that I have seen Skip lose in my opinion lol
Everything LeShannon said had no validation whatsoever!
1. It wasn't the same 04 Pistons LeBron beat in 07 bec both 4 time DPOY defensive unit Ben.W and HoF Coach Brown wasn't in them team in 07.
That's like talking taking off Rodman and Phil Zen master off the Bulls.
2. There is no proof or evidence that The Celtics built their team bec of LeBron.
As Pierce was 1 year from free agency at the time and they didn't wanna ruin his chances with him entering his peak so they had the opportunity for both Ray and KG in difficult deals.
Tho The Toronto series they were scared indeed. So I give him that.
“He didn’t wipe the floor with him come on” 😂🤣🤣😂
“Kareem wiped the floor with him”😭😭😭
You can respect Lebron but I think that since he’s so social with every player that most guys don’t see a player that’s intimidating
Skip paid Shaq to say this so they can talk about Lebron 😂😂.
U mean like LeKlutch Sports has LeShannon and Nick Wrong on their weekly payroll 💀
@ohhh yeahhh You don't know for a fact both KG and Ray Allen weren't in contact with Paul Pierce prior to joining him in Boston. All you're doing is speculating
Oh yea cause skip can afford to pay Shaq
Shannon was on point and spoke the truth. Well said. 👍
lol coming back to this after KP went on a podcast to confess that he prayed to god that LeBron would tear an ACL in practice before playing them in a game 7
I had a debate with someone a couple months ago bout the fear of mj and the lack of fear of Lebron the best analogy I can make is nobody feared Daniel larusso but everyone feared Johnny Lawrence and cobra Kai both great but there’s a difference in the fear levels they possessed
This was the greatest(and by greatest I mean worstest) "who gives AF" debates of All-Time!🙄🤣
Skip is hilarious man 😂
I like how he could only name DeRozan & Lowry 😂 I don’t even think they were ‘afraid’ of Lebron, he was just on an entirely different level & was very difficult to beat over a 7-game series
Demar Kyle curry kd dray klay kawai Paul George the big three Celtics all feared Lebron
I’m not a LeBron guy but you can’t say LeBron didn’t put the fear of god in the whole raptors organization. And golden state went and begged for KD because they were afraid they wouldn’t be able to hold off LeBron. And Miami heat LeBron James was literally from another planet. Mike still the goat but skip talking like LeBron just some guy who was lucky to win some titles
Man the whole east “feared” that man. Nobody wanna match up with bron in the playoffs point blank period.

@HonorRollStudent51
A "Super team" (that had NO WINNERS) that was formed by the FRONT OFFICE and the GM bec the saw what The Lakers organisation were cooking for Kobe in LA as they finally had a chance to compete for them 🏆 between them 2 Classic historical teams.
@HotSpotCasino🔥 you have nothing to prove anything you’re saying at all but go off 😂😂 you’re just a hater, and that’s okay. Just don’t lie 💀 whining will get you nowhere bud
PS: “I sound so right” sounds a lot more like you’re trying to convince yourself rather than trying to convince me or anyone else for that matter
Let’s gooooooo Shannon talk facts 💯💯💯
that is the truth..agree 120%......everyone feared shaq, hakeem, mj, everyone else...
Shaq was speaking from the heart , Shaq is from the Jordan era where players feared assassin's like Kobe Jordan and himself lebron want s to b friends with everyone no Killa instinct
hahahaha! Shannon will get a heart attack. Keep up the good job guys!
As a magic fan and as a Shaq fan HO34 not only wiped the floor with Shaq he resurfaced it, buffed it, polished it finally built a mansion around that beautiful floor.
Shaq saying nobody fears Lebron.
Skip: He one of the best to ever play so he knows what he's talking about.
Shaq says if Lebron passes Kareem for most points he will be the GOAT.
Skip: Shaq doesn't know anything about basketball.
@Mike similar with Scottie. Scottie doesn’t known if he has a one-sided rivalry with LeBron or if he’s his GOAT.
Exactly
Shaq has been back and forth on stuff with LeBron.
Best comment ever
Lmfao🤣🤣🤣💯💯💯
Watching skip nitpicking situations to make Jordan look better is funny😆
I am Soo worried about that injury 😔 stopping Lebron from passing Jabbar. It's like I actually want him to coast.
Shannon consistently
rip's Skip a new one!🤣
Shannons gonna have a heart attack ! lol !!! Hes really into this topic aint he ? lol Love listening to these two. 🙂
@CTCards
Are u aware that LeShannon is lying A LOT on the show right?!
Waiting for Shannon to reach over the table and strangle Skip lol !!!
I think LeBrons hit or miss shooting is why players don't fear LeBron he can get super hot sometimes maybe like once a season he'll hit 7 or 8 3s in a game, if he shot a little better like especially from the freethrow line he would be feared but when LeBron is coming down hill there's definitely fear real fear. You almost have to move or foul because you getting dunked on forsure.
Shaq literally said "Lebron puts fear in peoples hearts" before. Shaq was a great player, but that doesn't mean we should take his opinion seriously. These retired players are biased af.
The flip flop syndrome is insane out here
Loading up on good players doesn't mean you fear someone. It means your trying to win a championship. Big difference between fearing a player and trying to advance your team.
Loading up in good players to beat a particular individual is fear lmao
Unc and Nick Wrong have been going through it this week 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 both Damn near about to cry the past few days
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏🏽 loved every minute of it them being BUTTHURT the last 2 seasons now!
It’s funny how Skip says he’s been to every game. Watching for 30 years and get corrected from time to time. Father Time is catching up with him
Literally just watched skip talk about nothing for 5 mins straight, dude didn’t even answer the question😂😂😂
“Kevin Garnett in the Hampton” 😂😂
One day Shaq says Lebron is about to be the GOAT after passing Kareem, next its this, dude is constantly flip flopping on his opinion of Lebron hahah
@williamshoven maybe Mike didn’t have the best team, but you are out of your mind if you say Kobe lakers team wasn’t the best at the time.
@williamshoven so did Mike in the first rounds, so did Kobe. You guys act like they ain’t ever lost in the playoffs ever
@jay dot LeBron is chasing both them brothers in chips. He wants to unseat their G O A T, positions missing the playoffs on bad teams will Not get him there. Kobe legacy changed, when he lost with Shaq, Payton & Malone. Let's Not forget LeBron lost in his prime, with the best team in Miami twice.
@williamshoven so why hasn’t Jordan’s legacy changed when he missed the playoffs both years in Washington or why hasn’t Kobe’s legacy changed when he was on a bad Lakers team the last few years of his career? And both Kobe and Jordan weren’t playing anywhere near the level Lebron is playing at 37 years old.
@jay dot considering all of the excuses you're trying to give him. I would say his legacy has changed.
The fact he put Shaq over Kobe is outrages
Shannon cornered Skip in every angle with this one
I like how Shannon stumped Shaq!!!
My response to Shaq you don't have to be scared to get beat up
wow..this is the highest praise about LeBron I've ever heard from Skip ever
I'm always taken aback by how many people in the media and in basketball circles Have so many negative things to say about Lebron James. If he meant so little to the game then they wouldn't be talking about him.
Lechika means a lot. Especially in terms of flopping and jumping ships😂
@Y.S idk maybe because he made more finals tben basically any other mvp ever besides russell which idek if they gave the mvp out .
Little?
He's a MEDIA MADE PLAYER that has been pushed all time high.
Nothing to do with GREATNESS bec if so WHY he's THE ONLY MVP in NBA HISTORY with the most Finals L's 👀
Exactly
I knew someone was going to bring up my Pistons 😆. I think LBJ scored 18 straight or something🤷🏾
Everyone in this era: Yo Shaq don't speak for me I feared LeBron!
A killer isn’t always cold hearted . A killer is silent and loving until he have to demonstrate
I think what Shannon said sums it up “how you fear somebody that didn’t take a game off you?” That’s your answer homie, MJ was different.
The “fear” that Shannon is talking about with GS gettin KD isn’t the same level of fear that MJ gave the entire league. Skip been doing this awhile but he be missing a lot of openings in Shannon’s arguments I think.
MJ was different 🤦🏻♂️ if that’s your only answer then you’re just like Skip
The "FEAR" factor goes the other way around. so there was fear all along
Nobody has EVER moved the “goal posts” more than Skip 😂
I've been saying this the whole time when they try to compare LeBron and Mike
I think what Shaq and Skip mean is nobody felt uncomfortable dealing with LeBron.
Shaq played with Lebron early in his career, so there’s something he must have seen up close and personal. I will say Lebron was a monster that first run in Cleveland, which to me was his best basketball, except the last playoff run before Miami.
John Stockton never said a word.. one the best point guards of all time ..
Let it go Shannon!!!! Skip taking it to his Grave 😂
It's all about intangibles and perception. Kobe and Mike were highly feared for sure, they were doing more emotional and phychological damage (attitude, trashtalk, eye contact, ego, killer instinct,...). In the other hand, we have lebron with his great talent, his massive gifted body but also his friendly approach, his hilarious stories and his role model image (son, husband, father, community engagement, etc.). Nobody fear that.
It's all about perception, nothing to do with talents... for many years the league was afraid from Ron artest, Bill laimbeer and Charles oakley.
Nothing to fear from a guy who sits back to whine to the official, while the rest of the team goes to defend 4 on 5 without him.
This is true.
It’s intangibles. From 1990-1998, Jordan would be doing pre-game shoot-around, you felt like he’d already won the game.
It's not just perception. Kobe and Mike will drop 25 - 30 on you in one quarter, if you aggravate them. THAT'S the difference!
Be quiet .. no one fears him at all
Lebron passing to bums when the game on the line more than he’s willing to shoot it’s that simple
Shannon argue like he reads Twitter all day. He really said a “top 75” player like that’s a real thing. All the original 50 players are on that list Lol
Man Skipp really skipping the facts Shannon putting on the table😂
He said Golden State disturbed Kevin Garnett in the Hamptons 😂
Hakeem definitely wiped the floor with him
@noobrou except bird called Jordan Jesus while Dirk watched Lebum score 8 points in a NBA finals lmao
@Three and bird wiped the floor with jordan using a broom. 2🧹💨
Yup. I watched that series. Shaq was made to look to slow and useless against Hakeem
@Three
Kyrie wiped the floor with Curry in 2016.
Hakeem was skilled with beautiful spin moves off the postup , ball fakes , mid range juper and superior quickness. Too many weapons for Shaq. Shaq was an effective raw brute compared to the Dream....
@1:21 Damn, I didn't know the Warriors tried to get Kevin Garnett too! 😆
This man moves the finish line every time they have this debate lol
@Darius Robbins this is the worst take in nba history
@Darius Robbins yeah I'm not sure what to say to you but clown post myguy but also it's YOUR OPINION there are no facts about the GOAT it's subjective
@Popeye Bogey LeBron's not even top 5 so Shannon, Nick Wrong & ESPN can change there weak narrative already b/c everyone else is kicking LeBron out there too 5 b/c he's lost too damn much with so much help.
Shannon need to get off lebums jockstrap.
@Key Mold whether Your a MJ stan or LBJ stan shannon is completely right you can't have it both ways so it suits your argument & stop mentioning another man's private area yall clowns suspect..
They don't fear LeBron, they fear the All-Star team mates that he recruits.
Shannon & Skip u guys are the Goats of basketball talk.. keep up the good 👍 work!!!!!!
