Do you agree with Skip & Shannon?
no lebron is the most overrated non clutch player in history
99 exactly
I don't care about remembering The Decision. Michael Jordan is the GOAT. Not some LeHypebeast who uses social media and wears t-shirts for change.
A *hypebeast* is a mostly derogatory slang word for someone, usually a man, who follows trends in fashion, particularly streetwear, for the purpose of making a social statement. example: LeBron
Shannon Yes Skip No
That's pretty crazy how that was 10 years ago. Time flies.
Man i remember it like it was yesterday
Time flies.
That’s what I just said that’s crazy
True..true. And he still ballin' 🤴🏾
Crazy af
Cavs really had people believe that they could win with mo Williams being the second option
Fresh Nation how ?
@@freshnation8114 Both mediocre come playoff time when their star gets subbed out
@@freshnation8114 Debatable, cavs were pretty good on D
na brah.Gibson was better.He did i 1 playoff run wat moe could not do in playoffs.Then wouldnt trade JJ hickson for Amare smh
@@sdfishinn that orlando team had way better chemistry and were hitting 3's way before GSW... Stop it.. I grew up near orlando but i stay in orlando now and those magic teams were fire.. They would've beaten kobe had van gundy stayed with raf and not put nelson back in.. Clown move
I'm not a LeBron fan, but I believe Miami was his best years. His most memorable season though was when he ruined the 73 win warriors season.
Yeah, that was back with Cleveland
Yeah Miami was definitely his absolute Prime he was a monster
Last MVP runs were in Miami also 2nd place defensive player of the year!
LeBron's final year in Cleveland. He took the church choir to the finals. Crazy game winners in the playoffs. The most complete lebron I've ever seen. Lost in the finals again because KD was on the warriors but this was the most unstoppable Lebron. Imo. GOAT
I feel like the Miami team was the best roster he ever been on because they're defense where good and they were fast
Cavs wanted LeBron to go win it all by himself. Then they get mad that he left.
Well....LeBron kept the team out the lottery (I suppose that is an accomplishment--but they didn't make the playoffs in 04 and 05) and he played his high school in the NBA. He didn't get put into a system.
LeBron "drags teams to Finals" and LeBron "can't do it on his own."
Bron was leaving well in advance. He signed a short term contract.
Brownd Beanz I’ve been saying the same thing
@Raschaud Farmer I agree; he could not will his team back to the Finals. And those Cavs teams won 60+ games.
LeBron handled it perfectly. He could have said...”I’ve doubled the value of this team and carried the Cleveland economy for 7 years. You’re Welcome!”
He owed them nothing!
Thank you!
@Bear Omega sounds like a loyal hater of LBJ.. oof
Exactly! Thank you!
Bear Omega you obviously don’t know your basketball history. Do you know why LeBron formed a BIG 3? Do some research.
Do you realize that he dragged a team of bums to the Finals in Cleveland?...but when we talk about rings and talk about the GOAT, they don’t mention that. They just say LeBron couldn’t get it done and state his Finals record. Neither Jordan or KD took a team to the Finals without another all-star.
KD isn’t even in the same league as LeBron in terms of accomplishments. KD is a scorer. That’s it. He hasn’t shown leadership skills or led a team to a championship. You can’t lead a team somewhere they’ve already reached in the previous year. You can only go along for the ride.
Stop hating and appreciate LeBron’s greatness while he’s still around.
Bear Omega yet GM’s can trade players whenever they want but when players put their destiny into their own hands, people like you have a problem.
If Lebron didn’t leave, they wouldn’t have gotten a lottery pick to get Kyrie, they wouldn’t have gotten a lottery pick to trade for Love, they wouldn’t have gotten a championship
Na my Mavs was deeper
Team was trash and Mike Brown was the worst
Leonard Jackson he went back kyrie and love were injured, mopped them in 2016 and then Draymond cried in the parking lot for KD to save them from a 30 year old man*
@@bridgeboysdk4915 Your Mavs were trash except for one postseason where they lucked into a title. 😂
He really had no choice, unlike KD he left Mo Williams and Larry Hughes, not Westbrook and Ibaka
@@NiccFurious while i do agree i think there is something to be said about players not wanting to join lebron.
js, everywhere he goes turns into the lebron circus, a lot of players dont want that nonsense.
@@NiccFurious Facts ppl hate on Bron cause they know he the GOAT!
Hughes wasnt on the cavs in 2010...
@@NiccFurious when allen joined the heat he was out his prime
@Mind of the North Star stop lying
So what they gonna talk about this again when the actual 10 year anniversary comes in 2 weeks?
More le bron talk oc
@UFO'S ARE REAL!!! Can you read?
@UFO'S ARE REAL!!! yeah you should delete that
@UFO'S ARE REAL!!! It seems reading isn't your strong suit.
UFO'S ARE REAL!!! Maybe you should get an iPhone so you can see what the screen is showing.
He saved Cleveland by leaving because they would have never got Kyrie and Wiggins. Then trade Wiggins for Kevin Love and won a championship.
They did NOTHING with any of them until he came back...he saved them by coming back
Lebron was good enough in his prime in those 4 years to win at least 1 title by himself, which is all we (cleveland) got out of him coming back in the 1st place. People don't realize how good lebron was those 4 years in miami and that there was no powerhouse besides the aging celtics and spurs in those 4 years.
Facts
Actually, Kyrie won the championship.
LeBron KNEW the trade was happening; in fact he requested it. He came back due to Kyrie's early success individually: ASG MVP, ROY. It was a calculated move knowing TWO big-time players would be waiting.
D.waiters and tristian Thompson and bust Anthony Bennett
“This fall I’ll be taking my talents to South Beach, and I’ll be joining the Miami Heat” - Lebron James
Before he said that, he should have said: I want to thank the fans in Cleveland, thank the org, thank everyone who supported me up to this point...this fall...etc.
I think it would have went much better if he did all that before saying the destination.
“(men this is very tough)”
Thank them for what? He is Cleveland
@@jonathanchen1026 no wouldn't have helped. Still breaking their hearts on national tv
@@jonathanchen1026 if you actually remember when the decision happened, it was an hour long special of an interview just to hear that one sentence. So aside from those 10 seconds, all he did was talk about his time with Cleveland (and because he's a professional, there was no [well-deserved] slander for the org)
He said “I don’t have a decision with him”😂😂he meant problem
It has been 10 years already!? How time flies like that!
Lebron didn’t fail Cleveland the first time around, Cleveland failed Lebron.
Aww how cute GTFOH
THE GREAT ONE Lol?
THE GREAT ONE If you think MJ, Kobe, Duncan, Bird, Magic, Curry, KD or Kawhi can win with the cavs you’re the most delusional person ever
@@subzerofromny735 u right
@@thegreatone9850 You first bruh lol
Skip and Shannon work so good together they don't even need a moderator
Cleveland had a chance to be like Chicago and Dan Gilbert blew it. TWICE.
I’d say he blew it once. The second time he did great, but KD blew the NBA.
MagniB firing the GM and letting Kyrie walk didn’t seem like a good move
Can't believe it's been 10 years
NO WAY!!!!!! Monday morning with a LeBron story!
LeDecision
🤣🤣🤣
Bron took his CAREER into his on hands simple!!
Facx.. nothin more to it lol
@Drew A. But big 3s have been in tha nba they wasn't a superteam
He still has lost more than he won Curry has 3 chips in 5 years LEBUM has 3 in 10 yrs
Truth. That's why a lot of people don't like him. He is not a sheep. People can knock him BUT which other athlete has done as much for the Black community. He thinks beyond his own interests and basketball. He sees what needs to happen to empower Black people.
@@thegreatone9850 Curry had 3 all stars and an extra MVP in Durant. LeBron only had 2 all stars. Just saying
I wonder who feels worse about the decision, Cleveland fans or Knicks fans
Hector Rodriguez I think the Knicks are kinda cool without a superstar cause instead It just causes the opposing teams star to go off and have their night there
Both franchises
Lebron: "joined the Heat that got bounced in the first round the year before
Kd: "joined a 73-9 warriors team that had just gone to the NBA finals the year before"
KD is a true cupcake
Facts
@@wavegod9394 don't you think saying "Lebron joined the Heat that got bounced in the first round the year before" is ignorant? He joined it with Chris Bosh. That's a very important detail.
@@MrGenexxx So is KD playing with 5 all stars who beat him the year before. But you neglected to mention OP didn't say that? Lol hmmm I wonder why
@@JayJay-wt9se Was Curry already a champion before KD? Yes. Was D Wade a champion before Lebron? Yes. That's all that matters really.
Skip get over it. Clearly, The Decision was the right decision.
Bruh Skip said he DIDN'T have a problem with the Decision. Only the way Bron handled it. Skip never had a problem with him actually leaving the Cavs at all.
Brandon it’s not just that, skip always has a problem with some. “LeBron has a great game but he had two turnovers” it’s always a caveat with him
@@fsgrell1429 Yeah, I get all that, but I'm just sayin' he was never against LeBron leavin' Cleveland.
Lebron had to leave Cleveland, Dan Gilbert never surrounded him with talent so Lebron would have been ringless. But he redeemed himself in 2016 winning the greatest ring ever
Thomas Sankara a dominant win isn’t a great nba finals. A game 7 in which a team down 3-1 comes back and wins is a phenomenal finals. And given the context of Lebron returning after being crucified by cavs fans for leaving makes the win even more special
Lebron came from 3-1 down to beat a prime gsw team stop it
They tried to recruit Yao, Stoudamire, and others. Its just no one wanted to play for Cleveland lmao
@@horatiowilliams8768 Lmao you do know that the 04 Lakers were HEAVY favorites right?
@@realquan8475 The next year the Pistons were back in the Finals...little boy who never watched 2000s basketball lmao
He was a free agent! Emphasis on the word FREE!
LeBron didn’t owe the fans anything and he damn sure didn’t owe Fan Gilbert anything. Had the cavs not been sorry enough to even draft Bron the franchise would’ve been worthless.
Raschaud Farmer Deeper but weaker... The LeBron laker team at full strength would sweep that LeBron cavs team
@Raschaud Farmer they can't create their own shot and they disappeared a lot in the playoffs
@Raschaud Farmer ilgauskas and Jamison were already on the decline... Mo Williams was an all-star for that ONE season barely averaging 18 as a perimeter player....There is a difference between an all-star and legit STAR in the nba.....They were all decent players but no way I would consider them STARs in this league....
As for this current Lakers team: they have the size, the rebounding, the rim protectors, the shooters, the slashers, the defense.....they got a nice mix and not to mention two all NBA performers in LeBron and AD.....the only issue with this Lakers team like any other LeBron team is when LeBron is on the bench....
@Raschaud Farmer I disagree on the notion that LeBron doesn't make players better....you have to consider the time of a players career.....maybe he's already on the decline....also the packing order in the team....you might not get all the looks/shots that you once had when you were the 'star' on a weaker team....Lebron is one of the highest IQ players and that's fact...he always makes the right reads, the right decision, the right passes and gets his teammates in good positions.....
Great now y’all make me feel old. I was still in college when it happened.
Lol im still in college lol
I was a senior in high school....that’s crazy bruh
I was in 17
Why should he have to thank Cleveland?! Look what he did for their economy!!!! That was more than a ‘thank you’.
I just love you guys. I just can't stop given you two complement. I can listen to you two debate all day. I hear Greatness because you two are genuine you guy's complement each other and that's true greatness. Keep it up.
He already signed out with the cavs after game 1 against Boston.
😂😂😂
Wrong, he signed out the moment he signed a 3 year contract, 3 years prior, same as Bosh. He knew what he was doing for years before that
He wanst beating boston with that team
Haven’t even watched this yet and I’m 100% sure skip will mention the Frozen one and ray allens saving shot
i swear undisputed talk about lebron everyday😂😂😂 or just the word “lebron” comes up at least once lmaooo
The most interesting athlete in the history of sports
Skip made the questions up....lol
His name brings views
Thyrone Terry Mike is extremely boring. Lol not taking away from his greatness at all... please don’t misunderstand. He’s just not as INTERESTING as LeBron. Beyond 6 for 6 with no game 7s there aren’t many talking points when it comes to Jordan. Can talk a different LeBron subject every day for 365 days and still have content for next year.
@@thyroneterry4211 MJ is the greatest player in all of sports
I'm talking about creating narratives
They can’t go a day without talking about Lebron lol
Because he literally is basketball.
@@EmmanuelTurner245225 hes a LOSER PLAIN AND SIMPLE
Its ok MJ. You had your shine.
They actually can’t it’s crazy
You still clicked the vid so it must work lmao
Without even going further: this is going to be a gigantic Skip roast.
It wasnt
I never knew he took his “I’m taking my talents” line from Kobe!!!
"I'm taking my talents to south beach" was the coldest Bron ever uttered. Thanks to Kobe for the inspiration.
Skip, these athletes don’t owe us ANYTHING.
Are you insane? They owe fans everything
Fullmetal how? They’re the ones with the talent, they’re the ones putting their bodies on the line, they’re the ones sacrificing, they’re the ones missing out on time with their families. They’re the ones that put the work in to get to where they are. They owe us nothing
But without the fans filling up those seats every night it means nothing
Steven Allen the reason the fans come is because THEY’RE entertaining us. They sacrifice and play hurt for OUR entertainment. They make all the sacrifices and what do we do? Just come see them for entertainment. They owe us nothing
@@Enorm15947 making millions isnt a sacrifice and they don't sacrifice anything the rest of dont you sound strange defending millionaires that play a child's game
Yall acting like the Cavs management good, other than Kyrie and LBJ, they always drafted bums and busts like Anthony Bennet
and andrew wiggins but he got shipped out and look how he turned out lol
Sub-zero bottom tier Starter loll
@@richardmatthews2807 ya i know, i just felt like its easy to forget cleveland drafted him
Lebrons first game back in Clev after that decision is one of the craziest arena atmospheres I’ve ever seen in my life. Iconic tbh.
Wow, it just hit me that it's been 10 years already. Man where does the time go
Y’all seem to be missing the point. Nobody is really criticizing him for the decision he made but rather how he presented the decision. Had he been more gracious to Cleveland on his way out, whether they deserved it or not would have gone over with fans/media WAY better.
I still remember him also saying not one not two not three ...!!!
In my humble opinion, I think the city of Cleveland, owes Labron a great, big, huge thank you. They drafted him an he gave them 7 great years
When Bronny decides which college:
I'm gonna take my talents to South Beach and join The U.
Who cares
I feel like he might go to Ohio State, of course I have no idea though.
@@thegreatone9850 Facts
Ja M prolly gonna go straight to the league. Rules will prllly be changed by then
I’m ok with that 👌🏾
I despise when Skip says "His owner" no Skip he owns the team not the players! Get it right!
Imagine if he went to Chicago with young Derrick Rose
I remember it was miami, chicago and portland his top 3 options
Both need the ball, and Rose was never an elite shooter.
It would have been amazing to see lebron in a bulls jersey
that would’ve been really cool for a year and a half 😂
Would have been just like Miami. Rose stayed hurt just like Wade so he would have carried the load. Only difference is he would have had Thibodeau as coach. All on all Miami had the better Roster.
Cleveland left him no choice
Lebron ain’t got a Dmn thing bad u can find on him man is just a good dude plays ball make money take care of friends and fam everyone should take a note .
"NOPE DO NOT HAVE A DECISION WITH IT SKIP" xD xD xD
Aside from his music choice which I like my damnself lol LeBron is flawless true role model ..love you bron
I still remember calling my dad at work to tell him what team LeBron picked the second it happened lol
I turned 11 when he did this.. I ain't understand at the time why he left but it was a good choice
Maybe they did talk about it but I haven't seen it; they talk about LeBron's decision?? How about talking and celebrating the 2010 Lakers that won in game 7 and a top 3 all time player got his 5th championship! THAT'S something real to talk about, not this nonsense. That Lakers repeat team and Kobe's run is underrated somehow. Mainstream media don't talk about it and it was one of the greatest stretches for any player those three straight finals and two titles with Gasol and role players that other teams didn't want.
Man you are so right. Every day about guy that had championship teams something like 10 yeas in a row and his greatest thing is number of finals with that hard stacked teams. What about debate how many chips that man could win with one team in his carrier for example like Duncan, Kobe, West or Chamberlain? Does he deserve to be in goat conversation if he stayed i Cavs or he could compare only with such nice players like Oscar Robertson or Allen Iverson?
In 2010 he had Ron artest, gasol, and a hall of fame coach. He also have a proving point guard in Fisher and decent center bynum. Overall that was a great team
@@sdfishinn artest was 30?
@@sdfishinn also artest save Kobe in game 7. He was playing a terrible game
Refs fixed that game 7
So Shannon praised lebron for going to the Heat but he discredits MJ for staying loyal to the Bulls
This was a nice, honest discussion. I enjoyed it.
Must change the captions to
“The join force”
Pretty sure this topic was Skip's idea, he needs to talk about the man he's been living out of hating the man for 17 years and counting
I'm sure shannon approved this also
Skip Bayless speaks truth
And then he held a pep rally in Miami..."not one, not two, not three, not four, ..."LOL nahh bruh
They had the smoke machine and everything
George Harry talk your sshhhh
George Harry he averaged 28, 8, 4, and 2 steals in the 2014 finals, shooting 57% and 52% from three and led the series in points (both teams) by 50. He wasn’t the reason for that L...
@Gloria Smalls It did mean something, it means he played well but his team lost. That happens all the time in sports.
@Dats a paddlin Yup, exactly, the Spurs just totally outplayed the Heat, but it was hardly Lebron getting "shut down" as the reason. 2011 though...
He should have said: I want to thank the fans in Cleveland, thank the org, thank everyone who supported me up to this point...this fall...etc.
One of the best decisions of his career, period.
I love this skip n shannon.they always make me laugh
imagine watching someone talk about a job you had 10 years ago LOL
Dan Gilbert should have been the one calling LeBron thanking him for making the Cavs a billion dollar franchise.
This is true though this was the moment the players took power
I was 20 back then. Now im 30 with a kid and another on the way. Life!
Edit: And skip got a dog🤣
I remember as a 16 year old this crushed me when he left the Cav’s!!
“Taking my talents to south beach”
I am soooooo happy they are back this week!!!
Skip killed it with his opening statement phony 🐐😭😭😭💀🤣
"Nope" - Shannon Sharpe..😂😂😂😭😭😭⚰⚰⚰
Lackluster front office moves, combined with Delonte West smashing his mom led to LBJs "The Decision"
Has skip ever won a debate ?
EVERY DAY
No
He does when it comes to MJ v Bron
Let's see how the kyrie shot will be mentioned by skip
As long as the narrative is connected with LeBron then Skip won't forget. Kyrie's legacy is a all-star MVP and The Shot!
I don't blame Lebron for the decision, but it's what disqualifies him from the GOAT conversation. Going 2-4 when you basically played GM for yourself removes you from being compared to 6-0 Jordan. How many chips would Jordan have if he decide to team up with Magic and Ewing
they got 3 number 1 draft picks since he left
Skip just mentioned "ESPN First Take" lol
Skip is 100% correct! End of discussion...
Y’all realize that a ton of media lebron slander comes from the fact that he didn’t let the media or front offices exploit him. The system resented him for that. Called him arrogant.
David Edwards checking in from N.C.,just my opinion he did not have to have a tv announcement to tell people he was leaving!
Unpopular opinion: if he got drafted anywhere else other than Cleveland, he’d have a better career
Yeaa
Or the knicks but facts
nah bro the hornets, MJ would find a way lol
Yea imagine lebron drafted in hornets
I disagree. I don't think would've had a better career if he went to another team I don't think if he was drafted by Bobcats/Hornets, Knicks, Magic or Nets he would have more rings.
Skip stop. Hating on LBJ.
Dan Gilbert letter was already written ijs
I love how they mention espn just normally not caring about if there viewers watch first take as well, undisputed is by FAR better than first take . I get so annoyed of all the arguing in first take and molly interrupting and how max over analyzes everything and Stephen a just does not like will Cain at all 😂 skip and Shannon really do enjoy working together
i was starting 6 grade when he made the division
i was in elementary school when bron did this, i’m finna be 20 noww🤦🏾♂️
I agree with skip . The backlash was maybe over harsh but bron could’ve acknowledged the fans
LeBron's not my favorite player but props to him for his successful career as a ball player and a public figure. I can't imagine having someone review decisions i made in my twenties on national tv. LeBron's been under the microscope since high school and has handled it like a pro. I almost admire him more for that than his basketball career.
Shannon keeps saying we I didn't know Shannon played in the NBA..
Rip Stuart Scott
Skip was 💯💯 on this take
Kd decision is worst in nba history.
The tom brady, cowboys, and lebron james show
Skip on dat powder!
so kobe said " im going to take my talents to the NBA" but since LEBRON said this he gets BASHED..
ANYWAYS OHIO STAND UP!
Lebron has a chance to lead 3 different teams in 10years to a Championship that's crazy , actually Kawhi was apart of the Spurs in 13 that won and led the Raptors to the Finals so actually Kawhi does as well
For lebron GOAT means "going on another team."
It's 2010. LeBron James has just lost to the Boston Celtics, a team who would eventually go on to finish one win short of winning it all. LeBron James holds The Decision, a national spectacle to announce who he will play for in the 2010-2011 NBA season.
"This fall..thi..this is tough. This fall I will be going to beantown and joining the Boston Celtics."
lol I wish he said "I'll be taking my talents to the big apple and play for the New York Knicks"
LeBron led them to their first ever Finals appearance with pretty much no help. And no, Mo Williams, while decent, is not a costar for him.
This channel has taken a hit.
🤣 i love unc loollll
For the first time I finally agree with Skip
