    Vince Carter knows what his talking about. They should stop Kendrick Perkins from coming and bring Vince more.

    I think Max is right, there is a tendency to blame LeBron’s teamates and that will happen again.

    However this time I think the setting is differen as to me AD is on a similar position to LeBron in 2011 with Wade: AD is the best player but is still not his team and he will be sort of passive.

    • MARLIN GOD

      August 17, 2020 at 2:55 pm

      I’m just waiting for the lakers to breeze past the first round and for nobody to give AD credit. It’s the pattern that’s formed on Lebron teams as you said

      LeBron has to win a ring this year otherwise the goat conversation is done…

      Ralf Havertz I know it won’t happen but imagine if he losses in the first round like seriously imagine how that’s going to ruin his reputation

    Lebron needs to take the role D Wade did when James came to Miami. As great as James is, he’s 35. Give the reigns to the younger superstar in AD and support him

    • BIG DADDY

      August 17, 2020 at 1:36 pm

      for sure, bron has to teach AD how to win i feel like if they win this year they going back to back

    • Ayuub Nur

      I strongly agree

  8. Kyle Hill

    August 17, 2020 at 12:07 pm

    Why does Max have to keep reminding us that he’s a Lakers fan?

  9. Avoired Ranger

    August 17, 2020 at 12:11 pm

    AD is the go-to-guy for the Lakers. If they won’t reach the Finals, it’ll be a disappointed year and AD’s contract will expire after the Playoffs. Imagine how much hate he’d get if he demand a trade after being a disappointment in the Playoffs, leaving LeBron.

  10. First Amendment

    August 17, 2020 at 12:14 pm

    Imagine a team with lebron on it winning it all and someone other than lebron getting all the credit

      Never! Lmao

    Nah Max is right. They shifting it to Davis. Knowing the Media they getting ready to blame AD if Lakers lose. Imafo.

    • Ayuub Nur

      Whoever has a bad game should get the blame put on

  15. Mat O'laughlin

    August 17, 2020 at 12:57 pm

    Lbj makes it obvious he puts way too much on a.d. lbj is a bad leader. And it’s always been obvious. 🙄

    • Mat O'laughlin

      August 17, 2020 at 7:24 pm

      @Ayuub Nur neither. He is told what to say and do is obvious. You need to look into his situation with China. Lbj is the biggest sellout of them all. And for you people to support him is horrible

      . Y’all need to wake up!

    • Ayuub Nur

      August 17, 2020 at 7:33 pm

      Mat O’laughlin he ain’t a sellout though but he does make sellout crowds lol

    • Mat O'laughlin

      August 17, 2020 at 7:38 pm

      @Ayuub Nur 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 he sure was quite when the people of China all about freedom waving the flag and everything. Other players spoke up. Not flop king James. Keep being a sheep to that fool. He’s nothing . Can’t make clutch free throws and people call him the goat. Not in the 50 . 40. 90. Club and gets called the goat. Y’all sheep! Go head.. bahh for me. Be a Good little sheep.

    • Ayuub Nur

      August 17, 2020 at 7:47 pm

      Mat O’laughlin bruh MJ wasn’t in the 50 40 90 club either neither was Kobe Kareem Magic Shaq and all the players that are in the Goat discussion. I respected everything you said until you brought up the 50 40 90 stuff that’s BS so many other all time greats don’t accomplish that either

    • Ayuub Nur

      August 17, 2020 at 7:48 pm

      Mat O’laughlin and you know flopping is part of the game right? Nearly every superstar has flopped once before and you know that

  16. Lance Potier

    August 17, 2020 at 1:04 pm

    I swear these analysts and people who never play the game swear they know everything. Then. Get offended when you tell em they’ve never hoop lol Vince is absolutely right about AD having to be more aggressive to another notch in the playoffs

  17. David Villela

    August 17, 2020 at 1:17 pm

    Please no more kendrick perkins and more vc

  18. jacob

    August 17, 2020 at 1:34 pm

    This debate literally didn’t say a single thing they just yelled after Vince said something real

  19. D Nice

    August 17, 2020 at 3:00 pm

    Stephen A is wrong about Kawhi with his last statement. The Spurs gave all the responsibility to Kawhi the series he got hurt against the Warriors. Kawhi was doing great until he got intentionally injured.

  20. Precious Nkereuwem

    August 17, 2020 at 3:23 pm

    Why do these men argue so much 😂

  21. Baskademics

    August 17, 2020 at 3:33 pm

    Max is right on this straight up!

  22. Abdullah Kaan TÜRKER

    August 17, 2020 at 3:41 pm

    Max is right. You just gotta be kidding me if you are saying someone is the best guy in a team but he is not responsible for what is gonna happen. That’s beyond stupidity. You win with him, you lose with him. That’s it.

    • Ayuub Nur

      August 17, 2020 at 4:59 pm

      I think that LBJ should take the responsibility that Wade did in Miami when he came. He’s 35 he is not getting any younger nor better. LBJ should however still should be what he was in the regular season and score 20 plus and setting up his teammates for easy shots like he did all year

  23. TheMad Piper

    August 17, 2020 at 3:49 pm

    Sports is dead. BLM killed it.

  24. Niko Gambino

    August 17, 2020 at 4:00 pm

    When has LeExcuses/ LeBlame ever take responsibility?

    • Ayuub Nur

      August 17, 2020 at 6:11 pm

      Niko Gambino but really LBJ does take blame on what he does. Check an interview in the 2016 finals he says he takes the blame of Kyrie scoring 10 points in a 30 point loss and says he take the blame the they come back down 3-1

    • joseph ofori

  25. Stefan Stojanov

    August 17, 2020 at 4:37 pm

    • Ayuub Nur

      August 17, 2020 at 5:30 pm

      Stefan Stojanov Imma stick with Lakers in 7

    • Ayuub Nur

      August 17, 2020 at 5:31 pm

      Stefan Stojanov I just insight watching the Jazz and Nuggets and DMitch scored 57 points and lost in OT because all the Jazz role players had 3 and 7 and 10 points

    • Ayuub Nur

      August 17, 2020 at 5:32 pm

      Stefan Stojanov DMitch need to be traded the Heat or something

    • Stefan Stojanov

      August 17, 2020 at 6:59 pm

      Ayuub Nur yeah well its not gonna happen. Anyway Utah is a perfect scenario for him, they are just unlucky to be missing two really god players. Nuggets in 5! And about the Lakers we will see, who knows this situation is weird and it’s anyone’s game

    • Ayuub Nur

      August 17, 2020 at 7:17 pm

      Stefan Stojanov eh I say Nuggets in 6
