Honestly I think at 38 expending all that energy into the 4th he’s too gassed to keep attacking the basket therefore he’s not closing, that’s where AD’s youth and post presence supposed to come in
@Michael Brown it’s a make or miss league dude, who’s to say he isn’t gassed when he drops 48 points , all I’m saying is idc if was Jordan, bron or even kobe God rest his soul, no 38 year old is fully carrying a team 😂
@Angry Old Hoops Fan not saying that as an excuse but what more can a gassed 38 do to win if others aren’t contributing and your solely relying on said 38 year old 🧐
I don’t think people realize LeBron James has the most minutes played in NBA history out of all of the greatest players of all time, including Wilt Chamberlain, and he still is putting up efficient numbers, across-the-board OK for younger and more skill generation than Michael Jordan had to play against Michael Jordan did not have to guard players who knew how to dribble and shoot and play defense all the same time I knew multiple stars in the league who played in the 90s and I’m Leavin family with Billy Owens and if you don’t know who Billy Owens is look him up he wasn’t the greatest player would even he agrees that but then there was specialty type players that means players were good at one or two things but they were not good at multiple things back. Then you can look at footage from those days in the only footage you’re going to see of people being great players are the actual superstar players when you start looking at the casual players in between in the 90s they were terrible, anybody on the bench on the team right now in the current NBA contort you for 20 or 30 on any given night the eighth man on the bench backing Jordans they probably couldn’t even handle the basketball correctly and definitely wasn’t about to drop 30 on you this whole mess and fantasy that Michael Jordan played against better players is false The Utah Jazz was the best team Michael Jordan had to face in the finals and it’s not even up for debate. Michael Jordan did not have to phase 3 super teams along the way in his journey. Also, LeBron didn’t get to play with Phil Jackson, who is probably the best coach of all time he didn’t get to play with the triangle defense he didn’t have Hall of Fame defenders on his team, Michael Jordan was surrounded by two Hall of Fame defenders. I would love for us to take those Hall of Fame defenders away and then we will see how far Michael Jordan really would’ve got home on his own score and 69 points would’ve been cute but it wouldn’t of got him a win without Dennis Rodman‘s defense is Scottie Pippen‘s defect and those are facts. LeBron James won two championships with one good defender on his team may be being Dwyane Wade other than that Kyrie was a terrible defender. Kevin Love was a terrible defender. A couple of those guys on the Lakers team weren’t good defenders so when we really look back at LeBron‘s career, he definitely got it out of the mud well, Michael Jordan won the championship rings a lot more easily, and it’s not even up for debate.
When you really think about it, the games the Lakers lost have been the ones where they had the lead by double digits and just failed to execute down the stretch.
The bigger problem here is that people keep trying to compare a 34 year old Michael Jordan to a 38-year-old LeBron James, who has played five more seasons than Jordan and he’s also a lot more older and has a lot more miles on his body. I think it’s really cute that Jordan fans keep on trying to do that so that they can keep trying to make Jordan look invincible. The truth is Michael Jordan never played like this at this age, and wasn’t able or capable of doing the same things so now we do have to change the conversation People say that there’s no defense in this generation that’s a lie. The difference is players are able to hit shots even with hands in their faces. Now I have watched basketball season guys are dropping 40 points 50 points even with the hand in their face I think a lot of older people just don’t want to admit that the game is a lot faster now, and it’s a lot more. Skilled Michael Jordan would not be dominating in his generation like he did in previous generations. He would be a better version of Devin Booker. That’s about it.
As a kings fan it’s been a rough 17 years haha everyone mocked us told them to be moved to Seattle. It’s great to see us finally keep a few solid players and finally build some great chemistry.
@Manz which is way more better than no playoffs for another 16 years . We the true kings fans have already endured the worst possible you can imagine. A single win in a regular season against the worst team in the nba will make our hearts jump for joy let alone make the playoffs for the next 5 years? Wow i can’t wait for that to happen.
I mean to be fair, the kings deserved all the mocking they got...they were my favorite team in the early 2000's...when they are good they get national support I miss arco
@Lance.da.legend dude. Rodman was definitely an entertainer. People loved watching him play back then. When Mark Cuban bought the Mavs, ticket sales were extremely low so he talked Rodman out of retirement to play for Dallas and next thing you know they're literally selling out every game because everyone wanted to see Rodman. Not to mention his numerous roles in Hollywood. Gotta be a certain age to remember. Don't speak on players from before your Era if you weren't there to witness
@Robert Jr I know u love fox .the way u are defending him..my girl defends me the same exact way....I'm not saying he isn't a good player..I'm saying it's players more deserving....I can tell u are hurt by that..have u looking up definitions of words smh .but u guys are having a great season
@Lance.da.legend i asked you first to explain why Austin and Westbrick deserve that award. dont deflect. ill get to your question after you stop beating around the bush
They are a phenomenal young talent and if they could land another good NBA talent with Fox they could be a team you wouldn't wanna face in the playoffs. Athletic, long, energetic and unselfish
they actually just play the golden state offense, mike brown was coaching in golden state for 5 years and now playing the exact offense as gs. Thats why they doing so crazy
He’s our best coach since coach Adelman.. The way he changed the culture in Sacramento is amazing he’s the coach this squad desperately needed. Both coach Joerger & coach Walton couldn’t maximize all the potential of De’Aaron Fox.
The worst is watching Lebron not rebound. Idc if he doesn’t guard a guy but to be upset his teammates can’t grab the board 2 vs 1 while he’s just standing there in the paint watching is disgraceful to the game. He don’t even box out anymore.
Never forget that Pat Bev emphatically stated; 'they (AD and Bron) are playing with me, I've never been on a team that misses the playoffs' like he a top dog and he's been giving 3 pts if that much
The Lakers complained so much about THT that they deserve this punishment. 👏 You don't trade for ball dominant Russell Westbrook's remaining 91 million dollar salary if you are going to pay THT as a finisher off the dribble for reverse layups.
It’s bonkers to me that at age 38 in year 20 this man is still the most dominant man on his team. I’m 38 and some days I can barely walk from back issues. I don’t think young people can really appreciate what this man is doing until they get older and hurt more on the daily.
Funny how so many of you think you’re better than others because you didn’t get in a motorcycle accident at 22 and deal with pain for 15 years. You all need some self reflection and need life to humble you a little. Stop being so negative towards strangers and start being decent to each other.
The Sacramento Kings are back!! I've been wanting to say this since 2002. Fox and Sabonis are this generations Mike Bibby and Chris Webber as far as talent goes. Accomplishments the latter are more accomplished but these boys are forreal and they ain't playing
and he's not showboating after making a clutch basketball like those two superstars in Lakers uniform. How many times they celebrated like they just win the championship after making a tough or clutch basket and then ended up losing the game
Lebron was having a tough time finishing in the paint like he usually does, so he decided to take tough 3s. Lakers reached a new low when "light the beam" chants were heard at the end of the game.
14:05 You have two guys on the Kings that can close: Fox and Sabonis. And one of them wasn't even playing last night. What a win from my Kings! Fox is that guys. And shoutout to Richaun Holmes too! He stepped up big time, getting key rebounds and hitting every one of his shots.
@mostmost1 You a whole grown man, with a salt & pepper beard 👀 What’s the age limit for haters ? Lmaoooo You & Bron around the same age and you hating in the comment section THAT’S A GIGANTIC L 🤣
@🎥 Bey_Dreamer 🏟 now you talking in delusions. I don't worship any man especially a ball player. Plus Bron is an OG! He started in a whole different era. His style of play is old school and that's why he dominates these guys now. Don't be a bronsexual for your whole life.
@Kyo Kitagawa yet lebron has failed more in the clutch when it comes to the finals. Lebron is better because he passes the ball to others instead taking over.
@Apostate Slayer they did the statistics on Undisputed. Shannon Sharpe found the stats. Lebron is 1% higher in clutch shooting situations than Jordan. Kobe is third
Skip's assessment of LeBron James is really on point in this segment. LeBron has always gotten a pass for underperforming in clutch time throughout his career, even going back to high school. The Lakers can still turn this season around, but the fact is that LeBron is gonna needs guys like Austin Reaves and AD in crunch time in order to do so.
The biggest reason is they just don’t have enough fire power besides LeBron James. Anthony Davis being hurt every single year doesn’t make things any easier for anybody in this franchise
@Philip Sapp But it's not just the 4th quarter shooting tho. It's the fact that LeBron in year 20 spends the entire game from start to finish, scoring just to keep this trash team afloat and in the game. Utilizing tremendous amounts of energy while his rest gets cut short because the rest of the Lakers can't keep a lead. By the end of the fourth, he is exhausted. The opposing team recognizes he's the only one that can score so they load up the paint and dare him to either shoot it from the outside (on tired legs) or kick it out to a fellow bum in a Lakers uniform, so they can brick it. They take away the option for LeBron to drive to the rim (as Skip Payless keeps wrongfully suggesting Bron could do).
@Mike Alford if you think that The Shaq who played in Miami was the same one that played in Cleveland, then you are delusional. And no player in the league wins a chip with this Lakers team. Also, Golden state had a really good, deep squad, not even remotely comparable to this current Lakers team. Go and troll somewhere else, you shouldn’t be talking basketball.
@Gary A. deMar DeRozan already said LeBron James wanted him. The Lakers didn’t want to give him enough years so then the Lakers opted for Westbrook. LeBron never wanted Westbrook. He wanted DeMar DeRozan. This has already been confirmed. Stop blaming LeBron for this roster he did not trade with those players for Westbrook, this has already been confirmed through a podcast by DeMar DeRozan.
Lakers need AD to help close if not another actually reliable iso player who can make free throws, closing every game on top of playing all these minutes is not easy especially at 38
I watched this game and what skips asking bron to do wasn't necessarily possible. The kings realized none of the lakers were consistently hitting spot up jumpers so they packed the paint in the 4th. Bron was trying to get to the hoop and meeting 2 an 3 bodies every time he drove
@FuriousTheGeorge tht is wrong skip was always entertaining cus he is passionate he took it too far nd I still think he should publicly apologize however cmon now we knw family can fight nd still love each other stop trying to act like skip isn’t skip, Shannon definitely is a great choice with skip for the show they are fun to watch together and even separate with their own podcast/show but skip would of made it entertaining no matter who was on that show
@brownguygaming dude they didn't win against the Kings they were given that game. Go look at the push that Westbrook gave to KZ in the final seconds. Then look at the clear foul on Fox at the buzzer.
When the Lakers beat the Kings in Sacramento a couple of weeks ago.....I knew that Bryant's performance (29pts/14Reb) was the reason why they win I also knew that the Lakers wouldn't get the same performance from him......and I was right 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think Lebron has 3 to 4 modes he goes into and take him time to switch during the games , last night he was in pg mode because the previous games before Russ can’t close anything idk asking way to much from a old but super human 👑
They need some people who won’t just stand there when they don’t have the ball. I saw too many times where Lebron or Russ had the ball and nobody did anything and they had to force a last second shot up. It’s ridiculous
@Overtime Dad Well yeah I think it’s both. The coach has plays that the teams run but they don’t have a play called for every single possession so the players have to come up with something sometimes. In this game it was 50/50 because they were doing this the whole game even after Darvin Ham called timeouts. They just suck and I’m trying to make myself believe it’s just because Ad, Austin Reeves, and Lonnie Walker are out but the team sucked when they weren’t injured. Maybe they will be better considering everybody is playing much better now but who knows with this team
Isn't that coaching? Coach should encourage sets and ball movement etc, but I think he has so little faith in the other guys that he just allows LeBron and Russ to play iso ball
This team doesn’t play defense consistently to win, especially without AD. Even with him the team isn’t good enough to contend for anything significant.
All they talk about are the Lakers and the Clippers who BOTH SUCK LOL There are other teams playing so much better! Your Kings and Nuggets, who are in 1st place, and Memphis. All terrific teams... But they talk on and on about those two teams.
I think it’s a big deal that his career win percentage is going down since he’s been in the Lakers good think he played 20 seasons & won 55 games or more most of those season…
NBA needs to do something about all these excessive foul calls. Sending players to the line back to back kills the momentum of the game. And it’s boring.
Are they ever going to give Russ the praise he deserves with how he's playing? Last year they were running up and down condemning the man. Now they don't say jack about what he's doing.
@Mister Mann Russ has played well for most of the year. Last year when he played bad they made a show of it every day. Now that he plays well they barely give him a second thought. This is why players tend to dislike media
There is a good reason why Kings are 3rd seed in the West. If Kings were that good at home, their record would have currently 21-2 at home and would be good for 1st seed in the West, sitting at a record of 33-11. Kings are 11-9 on the road, which is best in the Western Conference currently. From 0-4 start to currently 3rd seed at 25-18 is amazing. I thought Kings would go 25-57 when I predicted it in September because of poor organization, but that has completely changed due to Sabonis and Fox. I am very surprised and shocked about how Kings are doing well. This team was even supposed to at least hope for play in, but instead playoff with possible home court advantage in the 1st round of NBA Playoffs if they continue. NBA needs to flex some of Kings game onto ESPN, TNT or ABC due to how well they are playing right now. Kings are no longer a joke.
The Lakers need a real big man AD always hurt they need another big that can play big and rebound I been saying this the whole time that's how they won the ring they went away from the winning formula they tried to turn into the warriors with all that small ball
The way TB playin, if AD can get healthy I think they’ll be alright. It’ll allow AD to play the 4 and roam on defense. Only thing is, what is he gonna do on the offensive end 😢😢😢
Jordan always had the midrange. Not sure what Shannon is talking about in his defense for Lebron. MJ didn't have the 3 early on, but his midrange was always strong. Even in 98 he was still a beast dunking on players and driving especially in the closing minutes to get to the line. Lebron is afraid of last minute free throws and Shannon don't want to admit it. But he knows its true.
Schroeder , Beverley stunk all game. LeBrons gotta stop taking 3's late in the game. It just isn't working atm. It'll come eventually but not now. Gotta take less then 5 a game
I’ve thought the same thing, it’s crazy because they never get blown out for real, it might’ve happen 2-3 times this season and the games they lose be by only a few points. They’re not a bad team but they’re baldy put together if that makes sense. If they had two more shooters and healthy AD they would be a top 5 team and Bron would be an MVP candidate
I hate all the lazy takes. We’re acting like They not loading up on him so he can’t drive. They know he’s the only person who can do something they’re so easy to defend.
@Zack Chavis the thing is, it’s so easy to combat that. Get shooters & they’re forced to play man to man which lebron & AD would dominate and the front office hasn’t done that
Facts they dbl and triple teaming bron to where it should be illegal defense like it was in the 80s and 90s its gotten lame how the nba continues to allow teams to play those junk defenses the games would be alot better if they made the defense actually have to play man to man
THE THING IS WE KEEP SHOOTING THREES N NOT MAKE THEM!!!! Instead of getting two points like the opposing team keeps doing EVERYTIME we miss and we lose…. We just keep letting them fly when we not making them n forget about two points
I agree with Skip saying out of 9 games, 5 of those were winnable. I think that's fair. This is the most praise I've seen Skip give Lebron up to date. D. Fox and Sabonis are Allstars...
Thomas Bryant had Richaun Holmes looking like prime Shaq, with that said I'd prefer Lebron taking mid-range shots from the top of the key or attacking the basket than taking 3s
I swear since Cleveland we been hearing that Lebron can’t win games due to help… on rosters that he hand picks. Shannon is literally using an excuse for Lebron that he won’t let Skip use for Brady

Idk if Skip saw the stat last night. But LeBron leads the NBA in most points in the 4th and most points in the clutch.
his getting old older for him
its the team
he cant do by his self
He better be
Honestly I think at 38 expending all that energy into the 4th he’s too gassed to keep attacking the basket therefore he’s not closing, that’s where AD’s youth and post presence supposed to come in
@Michael Brown it’s a make or miss league dude, who’s to say he isn’t gassed when he drops 48 points , all I’m saying is idc if was Jordan, bron or even kobe God rest his soul, no 38 year old is fully carrying a team 😂
@Adri good point but wasn’t 38 in 2012 or 2013 as well 😮💨
@Angry Old Hoops Fan not saying that as an excuse but what more can a gassed 38 do to win if others aren’t contributing and your solely relying on said 38 year old 🧐
@Joshua Black luck is when preparation meets opportunity. No one who studied for 30 years gets lucky.
I don’t think people realize LeBron James has the most minutes played in NBA history out of all of the greatest players of all time, including Wilt Chamberlain, and he still is putting up efficient numbers, across-the-board OK for younger and more skill generation than Michael Jordan had to play against Michael Jordan did not have to guard players who knew how to dribble and shoot and play defense all the same time I knew multiple stars in the league who played in the 90s and I’m Leavin family with Billy Owens and if you don’t know who Billy Owens is look him up he wasn’t the greatest player would even he agrees that but then there was specialty type players that means players were good at one or two things but they were not good at multiple things back.

I’ll remember that when I’m betting
thats what happens when u old
How about Sacramento won

It’s not how you start it’s how you finished. Just be honest and say they suck these past couple years.
As a kings fan it’s been a rough 17 years haha everyone mocked us told them to be moved to Seattle. It’s great to see us finally keep a few solid players and finally build some great chemistry.
@TeamJeffster haliburton just starting and injured already. Fox for longevity
16.5 years get it right...
Should’ve been Fox that was traded for Doma. Imagine Hali + Doma that would be playoffs for the next 5 years
@Manz which is way more better than no playoffs for another 16 years . We the true kings fans have already endured the worst possible you can imagine. A single win in a regular season against the worst team in the nba will make our hearts jump for joy let alone make the playoffs for the next 5 years? Wow i can’t wait for that to happen.
I mean to be fair, the kings deserved all the mocking they got...they were my favorite team in the early 2000's...when they are good they get national support
I miss arco
Sacramento is just a better team, that's why.
It was true then, it's true now.
The kings are solid this year way better than the lakers forsure !
@Ricardo Lozano exactly lol
@Ricardo Lozano Well maybe play for them and change that superstar
@InYourGrillBrunson they find ways to lose
Sacramento has been playing great this season and we're all still wondering what's wrong with the Lakers...
@Michael Elliott a win is a win is a win.
Confirmed
@Michael Elliott True but Sacramento was playing Without Sabonis, who is hands down their best player.
King’s 🤴🏾💪🏾
@Michael Elliott a win is a win!!
It wasn’t just Deaaron fox. It was the fact that the Kings had 6 guys in double figures.
No it was all Fox.
@Dabolina That's actually a legit thing. Per the 2-minute report, the Kings lead all teams with the most calls missed against them.
@Dabolina dawg if you watch any other kings game besides the ones vs the lakers this year you’d know the kings get no calls
@Smash Adams It's honestly astonishing lmaooo
Good ball movement
Let's give some respect to my boy Fox's name! Dude is an all-star this year!!!
@mark fish typical Laker Fan response, like you're entitled to any player you want.
@Lance.da.legend dude. Rodman was definitely an entertainer. People loved watching him play back then. When Mark Cuban bought the Mavs, ticket sales were extremely low so he talked Rodman out of retirement to play for Dallas and next thing you know they're literally selling out every game because everyone wanted to see Rodman. Not to mention his numerous roles in Hollywood. Gotta be a certain age to remember. Don't speak on players from before your Era if you weren't there to witness
@Lance.da.legend exactly. deflecting and ad-hominem ... sure signs of a young casual
@Robert Jr I know u love fox .the way u are defending him..my girl defends me the same exact way....I'm not saying he isn't a good player..I'm saying it's players more deserving....I can tell u are hurt by that..have u looking up definitions of words smh .but u guys are having a great season
@Lance.da.legend i asked you first to explain why Austin and Westbrick deserve that award. dont deflect. ill get to your question after you stop beating around the bush
Can we just talk about how the kings showed up including coaching!!!
@Kent Nguyen 😂 funny but true
In the words of Dennis Rodman: The league needs lebron, they need him.
@Gary A. They already have that his name is Sabonis however I do think they need one more piece like the CJ McCollum trade for the pelicans
This program will is about Lebron not about basketball games
@Gary A. nah we need a consistent backup center for Sabonis who can rebound and rim protector
They are a phenomenal young talent and if they could land another good NBA talent with Fox they could be a team you wouldn't wanna face in the playoffs. Athletic, long, energetic and unselfish
Shoutout to Mike Brown for the impact he's brought to the Kings
they actually just play the golden state offense, mike brown was coaching in golden state for 5 years and now playing the exact offense as gs. Thats why they doing so crazy
He’s our best coach since coach Adelman.. The way he changed the culture in Sacramento is amazing he’s the coach this squad desperately needed. Both coach Joerger & coach Walton couldn’t maximize all the potential of De’Aaron Fox.
The kings finally getting recognized!!
When the Lakers lose, everyone wins 💯 Congrats to the Kings. Fox gonna be a all star this year 💯
@Nexus Assoon What you gonna do about it? Miss the play in? Lol
Keep hating 😁
Shoutout to Richaun Holmes for stepping up HUGE when his number was called upon. Sabonis was out and Holmes delivered. Double-double and 100% FG
this!
Fox has arrived and is a STAR now, the Kings have a great team and are 3rd in the West 🔥
@sharon blue oh the 17 point lead you blew to pacers?
@Kawhi Leonard And still got 17 🏆
@sharon blue 13th seed lakers 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@sharon blue 13th seed
@Kawhi Leonard 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆
Kings are just better: their entire starting lineup can get you 20 each
916 CONFIRMED
At least 3 guys on our bench that can give you 20 too. 30 if we bring real.
Fox can get you 30+
Skip: "No Kawhi, No PG"
Shannon: "You already know Kawhi wasn't gone play, kawhi play three games in a row that's it"
@jason hoppe he had 8 REBOUNDS and thats HIGHEST number of rebounds on the Laker roster
@Ladonna Edge START WATCHING GAMES
The worst is watching Lebron not rebound. Idc if he doesn’t guard a guy but to be upset his teammates can’t grab the board 2 vs 1 while he’s just standing there in the paint watching is disgraceful to the game. He don’t even box out anymore.
Anybody can score points on a sorry Team.... All you need is the Go Light from The Team.... Lebron no defense in 5 years... One way player
Kings win but let’s talk about how this is going to affect lebron
Right like cmon bro, how are we gonna just ignore the 3 seed in the west?
Never forget that Pat Bev emphatically stated; 'they (AD and Bron) are playing with me, I've never been on a team that misses the playoffs' like he a top dog and he's been giving 3 pts if that much
The Lakers complained so much about THT that they deserve this punishment. 👏 You don't trade for ball dominant Russell Westbrook's remaining 91 million dollar salary if you are going to pay THT as a finisher off the dribble for reverse layups.
Him and Schruder are the reason they lost to me CANT be starters with less than 10pts in a game
🤣😂😂😂😂
It's hard to win a game when you're constantly getting outrebounded.
Missed shots = Rebounds.🤷🏽♂️🎯or🚫
LeeTravius Mckay ...No kidding?!!
The coaches fault for putting 3 guard lineups in crunch time
They made the Lakers look little 🤏
and thats without Sabonis who consistently rebpunds double digits
It’s bonkers to me that at age 38 in year 20 this man is still the most dominant man on his team. I’m 38 and some days I can barely walk from back issues. I don’t think young people can really appreciate what this man is doing until they get older and hurt more on the daily.
@HughsReviews Then why compare your health to LeBron's using age as the basis of comparison. Learn to be clear in your statements my guy.
@HughsReviews preach. These people responses are trash. Even if you didn't have an accident, General wear and tear on the body is a mother.
Funny how so many of you think you’re better than others because you didn’t get in a motorcycle accident at 22 and deal with pain for 15 years. You all need some self reflection and need life to humble you a little. Stop being so negative towards strangers and start being decent to each other.
@Chase Conley called enjoying my youth. Unfortunately a motorcycle accident happened. Don’t assume it’s lack of self care. Accidents happen my guy.
@Anton Quirgst Roger that. Thanks man.
How bout my Kings! Won 5 in a row and moved up to 3rd seed!😁💜🖤
916 CONFIRMED
The Sacramento Kings are back!! I've been wanting to say this since 2002. Fox and Sabonis are this generations Mike Bibby and Chris Webber as far as talent goes. Accomplishments the latter are more accomplished but these boys are forreal and they ain't playing
De'Aaron Fox is that dude he's my favorite player in the NBA right now.
and he's not showboating after making a clutch basketball like those two superstars in Lakers uniform. How many times they celebrated like they just win the championship after making a tough or clutch basket and then ended up losing the game
@Ladonna Edge Quit spamming every comment. Lame!
Anybody can score points on a sorry Team.... All you need is the Go Light from The Team.... Lebron no defense in 5 years... One way player
Fox kills the LA Lakers every time he sees em.
He is an exciting player to watch .when kings need a basket he gives them one.
Lebron was having a tough time finishing in the paint like he usually does, so he decided to take tough 3s. Lakers reached a new low when "light the beam" chants were heard at the end of the game.
Lakers reached a new low when Jeannie Buss took ownership and hired Rob P as GM.
Make me understand why lebron attempted 25 shots, and his starting lineup attempted 22 all together.
His chasing Kareem's scoring title
STAT PADDING
Lebron is supposed to make teammates better! He’s not grooming cats to score because he’s trying to get the scoring record and average 30.
Shannon: "LeBron can control the pace"
Also Shannon: "It's hard to close games"
Yes. Both things can be true.
My kings! I'm so SACRAMENTO PROUD!!!!
916 CONFIRMED
The kings are gonna give somebody fits in the playoffs
@Onlygogeta that's weird cause their winning record right now indicates otherwise
Especially if they land 1 more piece to help out Fox they'd be dangerous
As long as they put themselves in position, they'll avoid the tougher teams in the first round
No they wont they dont know how to win yet
Can we focus on my kings for once...
916 CONFIRMED
They back forreal. Was a fan in the Mike Bibby days. Now this team is back and reminding me of those teams
This was the best effort from the kings backup bigs. Really showed how weak the Lakers are inside.
@Zwitterion I can accept that. Steven Adams was having his way with Bryant all night long. Yet, Adams is barely an inch taller and not much bigger
@Elijah Straight he’s promising offensively, but always lacks defensively
@jdelgado216 What happened to Thomas Bryant? The dude went on like a 7 game tear at one point
The other rim protector was supposed to be Damian Jones but he's been unplayable so far
Absolute exposure
14:05 You have two guys on the Kings that can close: Fox and Sabonis. And one of them wasn't even playing last night. What a win from my Kings! Fox is that guys. And shoutout to Richaun Holmes too! He stepped up big time, getting key rebounds and hitting every one of his shots.
Fox is the closer, Sabonis is not no closer lol.
@Con Eso bruh 916 hey man I agree fully, just trying to make sense of that comment too. either it's about the lakers or they're just braindead
@deathwish_ASR the Lakers Suck why should anybody be talking about them??
@Con Eso bruh 916 maybe they were actually talking about the lakers lol referring to lebron scoring
Holmes abused of Bryant all night long
Shannon told a bold face lie, jordan always had a mid range and he was still driving his whole career
LeBron needs to scale down them threes. His shot ain't falling but he's killing it from mid and inside the paint. More of that please.
@mostmost1 You a whole grown man, with a salt & pepper beard 👀 What’s the age limit for haters ? Lmaoooo You & Bron around the same age and you hating in the comment section THAT’S A GIGANTIC L 🤣
@🎥 Bey_Dreamer 🏟 now you talking in delusions. I don't worship any man especially a ball player. Plus Bron is an OG! He started in a whole different era. His style of play is old school and that's why he dominates these guys now. Don't be a bronsexual for your whole life.
@Zack Chavis dude if you were watching the game last night guys were all over him and some refs weren't calling that its just crazy at that point
@mostmost1 nvm ya beard salt & pepper, the OG’s worship MJ lol So we can just stop talking all together. You not about to waste my time 🤣🤣🤣
Shannon has to admit the Lakers have blown double digit leads where LeBron started shooting ill advised 3s
@Kyo Kitagawa yet lebron has failed more in the clutch when it comes to the finals. Lebron is better because he passes the ball to others instead taking over.
@Apostate Slayer they did the statistics on Undisputed. Shannon Sharpe found the stats. Lebron is 1% higher in clutch shooting situations than Jordan. Kobe is third
@Apostate Slayer you don't know what you're talking about.
@Leslie Evans majority of the players avg double figures and are league avg 3pt shooters
@Kyo Kitagawa he doesn’t do it in the clutch
Memphis is on a 11 winning streak and these two not speaking on it smh
@khanh vuong yeah, but Shannon and Skip are on FOX?
That is another current event explaining why the media only cares about successful big market basketball teams these days 🤷🏻♂️
ESPN own by Lakers 😂
They hating
Skip's assessment of LeBron James is really on point in this segment. LeBron has always gotten a pass for underperforming in clutch time throughout his career, even going back to high school. The Lakers can still turn this season around, but the fact is that LeBron is gonna needs guys like Austin Reaves and AD in crunch time in order to do so.
The biggest reason is they just don’t have enough fire power besides LeBron James. Anthony Davis being hurt every single year doesn’t make things any easier for anybody in this franchise
@Mike Alford Shaq in Miami won the tittle averaging 23 points and 10 rebounds vs in CLE 12 points and 7 rebounds. What are you talking about.
@Venito Mendivil OK, now tell us what MJ did in year 20???
@Philip Sapp But it's not just the 4th quarter shooting tho. It's the fact that LeBron in year 20 spends the entire game from start to finish, scoring just to keep this trash team afloat and in the game. Utilizing tremendous amounts of energy while his rest gets cut short because the rest of the Lakers can't keep a lead. By the end of the fourth, he is exhausted. The opposing team recognizes he's the only one that can score so they load up the paint and dare him to either shoot it from the outside (on tired legs) or kick it out to a fellow bum in a Lakers uniform, so they can brick it. They take away the option for LeBron to drive to the rim (as Skip Payless keeps wrongfully suggesting Bron could do).
@Mike Alford if you think that The Shaq who played in Miami was the same one that played in Cleveland, then you are delusional. And no player in the league wins a chip with this Lakers team. Also, Golden state had a really good, deep squad, not even remotely comparable to this current Lakers team. Go and troll somewhere else, you shouldn’t be talking basketball.
@Gary A. deMar DeRozan already said LeBron James wanted him. The Lakers didn’t want to give him enough years so then the Lakers opted for Westbrook. LeBron never wanted Westbrook. He wanted DeMar DeRozan. This has already been confirmed. Stop blaming LeBron for this roster he did not trade with those players for Westbrook, this has already been confirmed through a podcast by DeMar DeRozan.
Lakers need AD to help close if not another actually reliable iso player who can make free throws, closing every game on top of playing all these minutes is not easy especially at 38
I watched this game and what skips asking bron to do wasn't necessarily possible. The kings realized none of the lakers were consistently hitting spot up jumpers so they packed the paint in the 4th. Bron was trying to get to the hoop and meeting 2 an 3 bodies every time he drove
@MR. MJ what you talkin about?
Close? Lol stop it.
This is the hardest Lakers 2 seasons I have ever seen
It's nice seeing Skip being well behaved and showing Shannon more respect 🙂
@FuriousTheGeorge tht is wrong skip was always entertaining cus he is passionate he took it too far nd I still think he should publicly apologize however cmon now we knw family can fight nd still love each other stop trying to act like skip isn’t skip, Shannon definitely is a great choice with skip for the show they are fun to watch together and even separate with their own podcast/show but skip would of made it entertaining no matter who was on that show
Alot of people watch the show to see skip, not to listen to shannon yell for the opening 1 min .. which is all he does
@Declan Simard skip... is that you?
@FuriousTheGeorge you do know Skip was successful in this industry before he had Shannon right?
@FuriousTheGeorge maybe Skip just realized that, so he's checking himself.
That is indeed so strange they are loosing very close games.
Let's not forget the Kings are a good team and Lakers went on a streak playing teams that aren't close to the playoff picture.
@Michael Reedon mammas
@Nexus Assoon who won the series 😂
They beat the Queens in that streak also 🤷🏾♂️
@brownguygaming dude they didn't win against the Kings they were given that game. Go look at the push that Westbrook gave to KZ in the final seconds. Then look at the clear foul on Fox at the buzzer.
@brownguygaming where did I say "meant nothing"? I'll wait
When the Lakers beat the Kings in Sacramento a couple of weeks ago.....I knew that Bryant's performance (29pts/14Reb) was the reason why they win
I also knew that the Lakers wouldn't get the same performance from him......and I was right 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Ralph Da Don seem like they playing Gabriel more, who has great chemistry with Russ. And apparently the had Boogie come in for workouts last week
Anybody can score points on a sorry Team.... All you need is the Go Light from The Team.... Lebron no defense in 5 years... One way player
He doesn’t play 28-34 minutes anymore. Darvin hamm is cutting his minutes
was probably his best game ever. cant really expect him to do that regularly
T Bryant ain't been the same the last three to four games I wonder if he's got an injury
I think Lebron has 3 to 4 modes he goes into and take him time to switch during the games , last night he was in pg mode because the previous games before Russ can’t close anything idk asking way to much from a old but super human 👑
They need some people who won’t just stand there when they don’t have the ball. I saw too many times where Lebron or Russ had the ball and nobody did anything and they had to force a last second shot up. It’s ridiculous
That’s what it’s like playing with Lebron.
@Overtime Dad Well yeah I think it’s both. The coach has plays that the teams run but they don’t have a play called for every single possession so the players have to come up with something sometimes. In this game it was 50/50 because they were doing this the whole game even after Darvin Ham called timeouts. They just suck and I’m trying to make myself believe it’s just because Ad, Austin Reeves, and Lonnie Walker are out but the team sucked when they weren’t injured. Maybe they will be better considering everybody is playing much better now but who knows with this team
Isn't that coaching? Coach should encourage sets and ball movement etc, but I think he has so little faith in the other guys that he just allows LeBron and Russ to play iso ball
Memphis won 11 straight , they over here talking about a 13th seed losing to the kings 💀
Memphis and Ja is not more marketable than Lakers and Bron. This is about business, not feelings and emotions!!!
This team doesn’t play defense consistently to win, especially without AD. Even with him the team isn’t good enough to contend for anything significant.
Let's go Kings
Anybody can score points on a sorry Team.... All you need is the Go Light from The Team.... Lebron no defense in 5 years... One way player
Leabron regrets not faking his fake injury for this game So now he is going blame someone else for the L
I love how they dont acknowledge the kings too much they say why did the lakers lose 😂 kings are a better team rn so its expected
@Sharon Delossantos it's LEBRON. It's LA. What do you not get?😁
All they talk about are the Lakers and the Clippers who BOTH SUCK LOL There are other teams playing so much better! Your Kings and Nuggets, who are in 1st place, and Memphis. All terrific teams... But they talk on and on about those two teams.
Exactly.
Excuses excuses for that dude! When they win he takes all the credit,but when they lose it's everyone else's fault
Exactly Shannon wore the goat mask for a win against Houston the worst team in the league. But gives him no criticism for not closing this game.
I think it’s a big deal that his career win percentage is going down since he’s been in the Lakers good think he played 20 seasons & won 55 games or more most of those season…
NBA needs to do something about all these excessive foul calls. Sending players to the line back to back kills the momentum of the game. And it’s boring.
Blame the rule changes over the past decade. Getting rid of hand checking was also the biggest mistake the nba made.
Are they ever going to give Russ the praise he deserves with how he's playing? Last year they were running up and down condemning the man. Now they don't say jack about what he's doing.
@Mister Mann Russ has played well for most of the year. Last year when he played bad they made a show of it every day. Now that he plays well they barely give him a second thought. This is why players tend to dislike media
They said Russ played well in the segment...
No sabonis not problem, so happy the kings are winning it's been so long since we could say something good about Sacramento
Confirmed
Anybody can score points on a sorry Team.... All you need is the Go Light from The Team.... Lebron no defense in 5 years... One way player
Darwin Ham was such a good upgrade from Vogel 😂
@BK’s Finest Darvin Ham is significantly worse.
Darwin Ham 🥴
This roster is worse than Vogel roster stop it
There is a good reason why Kings are 3rd seed in the West. If Kings were that good at home, their record would have currently 21-2 at home and would be good for 1st seed in the West, sitting at a record of 33-11. Kings are 11-9 on the road, which is best in the Western Conference currently.
From 0-4 start to currently 3rd seed at 25-18 is amazing. I thought Kings would go 25-57 when I predicted it in September because of poor organization, but that has completely changed due to Sabonis and Fox. I am very surprised and shocked about how Kings are doing well. This team was even supposed to at least hope for play in, but instead playoff with possible home court advantage in the 1st round of NBA Playoffs if they continue. NBA needs to flex some of Kings game onto ESPN, TNT or ABC due to how well they are playing right now. Kings are no longer a joke.
Fox is a SUPERSTAR 🔥
The Lakers need a real big man AD always hurt they need another big that can play big and rebound I been saying this the whole time that's how they won the ring they went away from the winning formula they tried to turn into the warriors with all that small ball
Small ball and no one can shoot lol
The way TB playin, if AD can get healthy I think they’ll be alright. It’ll allow AD to play the 4 and roam on defense. Only thing is, what is he gonna do on the offensive end 😢😢😢
If they have TB at the 4 and get another solid big that is even mediocre at scoring and above avg on rebounds, they won’t even need AD anymore.
The fact Dennis Schroder went from 32 points to scoring 5 points. Is insane. He inconsistent
He doesn't get that many touches every game tho.
Anybody can score points on a sorry Team.... All you need is the Go Light from The Team.... Lebron no defense in 5 years... One way player
Kings 💯💪👑
Did I actually hear them say "there is a case to be made" Sabonis is an all-star? The case has been closed for a while on that one boys 😂...
Fox is a Allstar
I just love to hear them talk good about the kings feels good haha
Never thought I would live to see Sacramento have the best basketball team in California
MJ had a lay up bag though Skip isnt cappin, yes he used the fade away but not all gm wtf 😂
They should of kept all those first round picks and changed up squad lil bit when they won few years ago def be contenders this year
Exactly they broke up the championship team for no reason at least try running it back with a couple fresh pieces
To open the show, we start off talking about a 13-seeded team in the Western Conference......
Fox is a Allstar now and he's a case for 3rd team All NBA if he keeps winning he's an amazing player.
@Lance.da.legend He's been great this season and is winning he's playing like a top 6 guard in the NBA.
How
Lakers looked good last night 🌙
I like how skip tells athletes how they should play
Water pistol Pete
Kings 🤴🏾💪🏾💯
Never would I have thought the Kings would ever own the Lakers like they have lately smh Shaq somewhere crying rn
@Darrell Mitchell at the end of the day, the kings beat us 3 times in the reg season and once in the preseason.. yeah they own us this season
Lakers aren't even in the same ballpark as them and it's pretty sad
Shaq was a curse to Kings while being a minority owner. Once he sold it Kings started to get better.
They really spent this time talking about LA serious 😂😂
The other players aren’t getting touches because Lebron is shooting everything
If you look at some replay plays, can you also shows us what you're looking at? Thanks
Jordan always had the midrange. Not sure what Shannon is talking about in his defense for Lebron. MJ didn't have the 3 early on, but his midrange was always strong. Even in 98 he was still a beast dunking on players and driving especially in the closing minutes to get to the line. Lebron is afraid of last minute free throws and Shannon don't want to admit it. But he knows its true.
Stevenjotv would’ve took off no doubt about that 😂😂
Every great player has a team for him to be a closer
Love the Fox talk
Schroeder , Beverley stunk all game. LeBrons gotta stop taking 3's late in the game. It just isn't working atm. It'll come eventually but not now. Gotta take less then 5 a game
Anybody can score points on a sorry Team.... All you need is the Go Light from The Team.... Lebron no defense in 5 years... One way player
I honestly can’t remember many if ANY games where Lebron brings his team back from behind and wins
When Jordan was in his 40’s he played all 82 games. If you’re lucky these prima donnas will play 60. Softest era ever.
Imagine saying “okay, it’s my turn” every time you want to say something
Unc - "they have to play a damn near perfect game". What are the odds of that happening? 🤔😂
😅Jordan’s last shot as a Bull was a midrange,right?
Lebron plays for his stat sheet and not for wins. But he can do no wrong where Shannon is concerned.
Skip said, “I want the lakers to be better, it’s better for our show.”
I’ve thought the same thing, it’s crazy because they never get blown out for real, it might’ve happen 2-3 times this season and the games they lose be by only a few points. They’re not a bad team but they’re baldy put together if that makes sense. If they had two more shooters and healthy AD they would be a top 5 team and Bron would be an MVP candidate
they're a bad team
I hate all the lazy takes. We’re acting like They not loading up on him so he can’t drive. They know he’s the only person who can do something they’re so easy to defend.
So he better act like the King?
@Zack Chavis the thing is, it’s so easy to combat that. Get shooters & they’re forced to play man to man which lebron & AD would dominate and the front office hasn’t done that
Facts they dbl and triple teaming bron to where it should be illegal defense like it was in the 80s and 90s its gotten lame how the nba continues to allow teams to play those junk defenses the games would be alot better if they made the defense actually have to play man to man
This is a Certified Hood Classic …. 🔥. 🥊⚽️🏀🏈
Anybody can score points on a sorry Team.... All you need is the Go Light from The Team.... Lebron no defense in 5 years... One way player
THE THING IS WE KEEP SHOOTING THREES N NOT MAKE THEM!!!! Instead of getting two points like the opposing team keeps doing EVERYTIME we miss and we lose…. We just keep letting them fly when we not making them n forget about two points
LIGHT THE BEAM BABYYYY
I agree with Skip saying out of 9 games, 5 of those were winnable. I think that's fair. This is the most praise I've seen Skip give Lebron up to date. D. Fox and Sabonis are Allstars...
Thomas Bryant had Richaun Holmes looking like prime Shaq, with that said I'd prefer Lebron taking mid-range shots from the top of the key or attacking the basket than taking 3s
Absolutely nobody:
Skip Bayless: MY TURN!!!
I swear since Cleveland we been hearing that Lebron can’t win games due to help… on rosters that he hand picks. Shannon is literally using an excuse for Lebron that he won’t let Skip use for Brady
To think London ball or D'aaron fox was once a debate.
The fact AD can sit on the sideline with no shame is what gets me…if Bron is really your guy you wouldn’t leave him hanging like that
@Alex Lewis of course Alex
@George Tyler .....I don't think people pick injuries
Not get hurt like a little kid
Lmao bro he hurt like what you want him to do ???
He's injured.....you're acting like he's just hanging on the bench.
Bron needs to limit himself to 4 or 5 threes a game
WE WILL MISS SHANNON ON UNDISPUTED
