FIRST TAKE | He saves Team USA in consec - Stephen A.: LeBron will make difference at Paris Olympics

because the World has gotten better since 1992 duh

“Get out my seat now!” 😂 Stephen A is that guy 😂

Chileeeeee the 1st few seconds of this video i thought Molly was high fivin' Skip Bayless.😂😂😂😂😂😂

US media is so arrogant . There are more than triple international NBA players than it was in 92. THEY GOT BETTER

This was the same German team that FIBA. That team has been playing together for a good while now. But they still lost to this USA team that got put together about a month ago. That’s pretty impressive.

These analysts have been on Lukas, Jokics, Shais jockstrap for months and now theyre asking why we aren't winning by 25pts lol. Also Wemby is on the horizon come on man. Just get the win get the gold and go home. Who cares how much we win by.

We need more of that shit in LA LBJ keep the same energy

International basketball is getting better .thats why 1992 won by 60..

I thought mad dog was skip when the video first started playing

Dog kinda look like skip do u guys agree?

if you’re willing to read I can explain to you why Lebron haters are wrong using logic . Lebron started his career at 18 years old with only high school experience coming in. To that point in history a rookie out of high-school had never averaged as much as 15ppg. In 03-04 hand checking was still legal , half of the players who played vs Jordan in his prime were still playing and the league scoring average for teams was 93.4ppg the second lowest scoring most defensive dominated season in league history outside of the 1999 lockout shortened year. Most would agree this 18 year old LeBron was the least skilled , experienced, physically dominant and not even the most athletic he ever was , most would agree the 10 years he was at his peak as a player was between 2009 and 2018 and he improved significantly on all levels from the 18 year old version to the prime version. In 03-04 Lebron averaged 20.9 ppg 5.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists on 43 % effective field goal and his team improved 18 games from the season previous while adding no Allstars from the year before . 17-65 to 35-47 For reference Tracy McGrady was the league leading scorer that season averaging 28 ppg on 45% efg and his team was 21-61 . Kobe and Shaq were in their primes . In 1984-85 Jordan’s rookie year with 3years of college experience the league scoring average for teams in the league was 110.8 ppg Purvis Short averaged 28ppg that year on 47% effective field goal. In the 90s the peak of Jordan’s prime there was a 5’3 140 lb player named Muggsy Bogues who didn’t shoot 3s and was starting point guard on a playoff team in Jordan’s East . This is the most physical era , and a guy that size is surviving playing with hand checking in the paint. The idea that if you teleported an 18 year old LeBron James to the 1984 draft class with Jordan and he’s not going on to have a dominant Hall of Fame career is quite frankly delusional . Is Lebron flawed as a player and person , yes of course. Can you criticize his decisions sure. But what haters don’t have the perspective of understanding is that LeBron has had a microscope on him bigger than any professional athlete of all time and since day 1 has been compared to the most beloved and glazed team sports athlete in American history by far and when anyone has those expectations on them and that level of microscope it is nearly impossible to look good to someone with a player hater mentality and extreme bias for another eras players or way of doing thing. You don’t realize the reason LeBron is so bad to you is that for 20 years there’s been a large group of people literally looking for reasons to diminish him in their eyes because they don’t like him being compared to the other 2 most popular players of all time Kobe and Jordan . And also in the media old heads who have extremely big egos who want to elevate themselves and the players of their era have been the dominant voices because they are the recently retire ones with the most respect from the next generation . Wilt and Russell were equally dismissive of Jordan’s era as old heads today are of the Lebron era the difference is social media and NBA media has expanded exponentially compared to what it was back then so the influence of a LeBron hater thought process has the ability to expand and thrive way more than the thought process of a 90s MJ hater would ..

I thought that was skip bayless for a second 😅

When Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley and the rest of the dream team just in csse hears this and if by any chance they have been given an opportunity to bring back their prime just to play against Germany, South Sudan and the rest knowing them especially Michael Jordan.. You and I both know what is going to happen.. every single basketball nation will be on his target list...

Why can't they just admit international basketball got better?

You’re seeing a bunch of guys who are used to being the number 1 option have to contribute in other ways than scoring. A lot of them are struggling, including guys like Booker and Steph and Tatum. Tatum has not made a 3. Lebron is shooting 60%, 46% from 3. Guys have to play a role because there’s only 1 ball.

They shouldn’t have to be saved. Either they underestimating these teams or they not taking this seriously.

Get rid of molly

Steve Kerr is the problem

It’s not 1992, this guy talking about 32 years ago when Lebron was 8yrs old, Steph was 5 and Ant wasn’t even born

You ALL forget that since the original Dream team , the world has gotten better. If this team played the same competition back, then the score would be similar. Common sense 😂😂😂
