00:00on the LeBron-less Lakers with the second best record in basketball and another example of just

00:05why he ain't the goat, never was, never will be. Sitting there on the sideline, wah! Luke is the

00:11best player, wah! Austin Reeves is the second best player, wah! What about me? What about

00:18everything I've done? Dude, just relax. Go drink your Hennessy that you're promoting and just chill

00:23out. Everything's gonna be fine. You're a billionaire, right? I'm sure there's some team

00:26out there that at some point will be desperate enough to say, okay, fine, bring in LeBron James

00:31and you'll probably go join another team that's got multiple superstars because it's the only

00:36way you know how to win. And oh, by the way, nobody counts your bubble championship as a

00:41real championship. Everyone counts that championship. And you single-handedly ruin the Laker franchise.

00:46We all know this. You're not Kobe. You ain't Shaq. You're not even Big Shot Bob. You're none

00:51of them. And you don't deserve a statue outside of the forum. You're not a great all-time Laker.

00:57You're not a top 10 all-time Laker. You're not a top 20 all-time Laker. You're not a top 25 all-time

01:03Laker. You're one of the great basketball players of all time. But for the Laker franchise,

01:09donut. You've been a donut. Let's acknowledge it. You've been a failure as one of the great players

01:16to ever play who likes to shop for championships. You thought you were going to go to L.A. and win

01:22a real championship. You haven't done that yet. You thought you'd win multiple championships.

01:26Haven't done that yet. Matter of fact, how many Western Conference Finals have you even gotten

01:30to? Not a lot. Not a lot. Do you know your blood type? Not a lot. So you sit out there. You force

01:37your son down everyone's throat, right? You have all your stands out there who are on your payroll

01:42saying how great he's playing, yet we watch him and he's not very good at NBA basketball.

01:49And you try to convince us of something we know better about. And along the way, a team that you

01:54thought was not going to win a lot of games, shockingly, has won a lot of games. Damn near

02:00all of them at 7-2. And I'm not a J.J. Reddick guy. But J.J. Reddick even knows, I hope LeBron's

02:07that longer. J.J. Reddick goes home and tells his wife, if I had one wish right now, honey

02:13bunny, it would be that LeBron doesn't come back that soon. Because I've got a great mix

02:18right now. I've got role players who are important, who actually get the rock, who I'm showing

02:23faith and belief in. As soon as LeBron comes back, he's like, he's almost like the moon,

02:31the sun, the earth. Let me see if I can explain this. Land is playing. It's going to be tough

02:37land. Land is playing. Uh-huh. Land is playing. Uh-huh. You know, you're a gravitational pull.

02:43Yeah, I know about gravitational pull. Yeah, yeah. The sun's in the middle. Yeah, go ahead.

02:47Okay. Where's the earth? The earth rotates around the sun. Okay. And then the moon rotates

02:52around the earth. I don't know how all that works, but I know that. That's how it goes.

02:55One of them things takes the oxygen out of every room when he walks in. Yeah. Implosion.

03:00Yeah. That's, I don't know if that's the sun, the moon, or the earth. I haven't gotten

03:04that far. Uh-huh. I will do some study on that. Uh-huh. But he's like this awkward, you

03:09know, uh, you know, like suffocating gravitational pull where everything's got to be centered

03:16around him. What a vacuum of space. Now, I just want to ask you one more time. He's like

03:19a vacuum. Now, do you know your blood type? Because so far this program, it sounds like

03:25it's H. Now, this is for hate. Hate. This is hate blood. This is hate blood. Now, I'm

03:29to believe that LeBron James is a ball hog. Of all the things, he's a ball hog now. That's

03:34right. That's right. The knock that you guys used to have on him was that he passed too

03:38much. Yeah, that he became a ball hog. Now, he's a ball hog. That's right. Early in his

03:42career, you're right. The knock was you're supposed to be the best player. You take the

03:46shot. But then he recognized he's one of the worst last second shooters in the history

03:51of basketball. He's not a clutch player. You can't count him to make a big shot. True. I

03:57did. I did the research. So he went from fine. I'll take the shot. Then he realized he sucked

04:02to taking the last shot. He doesn't have that many game winners. He can't trust them with

04:05a game online, especially a playoff game. So then he became just the ISO dude. That's

04:11because he got older. He's just an ISO guy. He was never. He never had great handles. You

04:15know that. He became an ISO guy. And then with four or five seconds left on the shot

04:20clock, he'd finally give the rock up. And the dude who gets is like, I don't want to

04:23shoot it. You're going to kill my shooting percentage. But let's just come to an agreement

04:28here. All of us collectively as Americans, we don't agree on a lot these days. There's

04:33a great divide in this country. Polarize. That being said, the one thing I think all of

04:38us, black, white, Republican, Democrat, Jews, Christians, it doesn't matter. The one thing

04:44we can all agree on today is that the Lakers are a better basketball team without LeBron

04:50James.
