If the Knicks hadn’t won, there would be no board. He’d be going to the Knicks — Rich Paul
My guy really made a board lol.
You know shit is getting serious when you bring out the extendable metal stick thing
The Finglonger
If only the Professor had invented it
sigh
:D :D :D :D :D :D
Blud wants to be a celebrity.
(If my agent tried to do this I’d fire his ass into the sun, but I am beginning to think that me and LeBron James are different people.)
An agent doing this is definitely not something I expected.
Bron trusts Rich, as he should. Dude has a bunch of his buddies that helped him create a billion dollar empire
Thankfully Knicks won.
The good timeline
I mean. Yeah. This chip. The rest of this timeline sucks ass.
Somehow the Knicks returned
Return of the Knick.
Hearing Lebron was the reason knicks won the chip would have been bittersweet. Power of friendship,Big body Brunson, Knicks in 5. Just an incredible storyline as a lifelong fan, brought me to tears.
Having 3 national championship winning college teammates link up together and win led by a guy who used to crawl around in Pat Ewing’s locker as a kid is about as beautiful a sports story as you can get. Couldn’t have scripted it better.
If Lebron wants to be Earl Monroe and link up for the repeat though 👀
Could have been even more perfect if we had Donte, but I still think he might return in 27-28 as a free agent.
problem is replacing Mitch.
even at 14 minutes, people don’t get thats over a 25-30 percent of the game you’re affecting. Specifically he was among the top leaders of offensive boards and creating new possessions and lob threats/pnR partners. To be elite at something, even if limited and utilized at that level was game changing given the knicks were down 90 percent of the series.
Without those minutes, and the chess piece in what he brings that they don’t have you can argue knicks wouldn’t be in the position to be clutch.
More so this was a rare case of just paying the 2nd apron bc you bring back the entire rotation that just won-all in their prime so you don’t pay for thie trade/signing issues of the 2nd apron
you then have 2 offseasons to avoid the 3⁄5 repeater rule which has draft ramifications.
He wasn’t the best player, but he was wildly important for their scheme
Dolan usually spends big, don’t know if he was just happy with getting one, but was surprised they didn’t just do that
Agreed this is a huge problem for them to solve. Look at the Strait of Hormuz, only 20% of the worlds oil goes through there and you see how much that fucked things up.
Wasn’t expecting an Iran conflict analogy but you nailed it.
Mitch “The Ayatollah” Robinson
absolutely. The margins of victory in the marathon of playoffs is very slim. All kinds of things you can’t measure that mess up the flow and final outcome. They had a chance to bring back the entire championship rotation-all in their prime. Its a rare thing.
Anything is possible, but it takes them out of the the driver seat as repeats for me. They are still a great time and last year was an incredible story/feat. I’m sure wemby is very happy he doesnt have to deal with Mitch, even 14 minutes of dealing with that hog, elbows to ribs, so on even if you come out on top with these +/- zealots, you still are depleted, exhuated, have to work for it and that measurement is tough to really quantify
Yeah I’d much rather this be the way we won it
why not add Bron and run it back? become the first team to repeat in awhile.
I’m totally fine with that but I don’t see it happening
i don’t either. but who knows. brunson give him a call.
How do knicks fans feel about lebron?
This is a great shout. I love that we won the title, but I love the way we won the title perhaps even more.
Gonna be at least a month of this I imagine.
To be fair we had to hear about Giannis for 2 years
Players are going to have to try very hard to be more annoying than Giannis the past couple of years
Be ready for round 3 next June spurs bro, box office finals are back on the menu
D Fox is preparing for the next finals Dude is excited for another ring next year
LeChallenge accepted
Also LeBron said from his own mouth he wasn’t in a rush to choose. So no one can be surprised that he is doing what he said.
Summer League starts today and ends July 19th.
We might not hear until next month honestly. Gotta make sure the coast is clear.
Might be worse that The Decision.
28 part mini-series where Lebron visits every potential team he could go to, followed by an hour long after-episode breakdown by Rich Paul on the whiteboard about how the landscape has changed since last episode.
Do it like Love Island with an episode everyday
Or the bachelor where he has to present every team with a basketball for them to move to the next round
Let’s be fair to LeBron, it’s probably a very hard decision to make. We can do without this relentless teasing and media appearances from Rich Paul, though.
LeBron should do another decision. The ratings would be as massive as the first one. Better yet, every so often, LeBron should eliminate a team from consideration until it’s down to 2-5. Then we can do a nationally televised finale on where he’s going. I’d love to see the people who hated the decision rage for weeks in an episodic series of where LeBron goes.
Back in the day I thought The Decision was some self-serving attention seeking bullshit…
I’d watch a series now haha
Yeah, I also thought the decision was dumb and cringey. It never made me mad though. Some folks I talk basketball with will genuinely say that’s why he’s not better than MJ. I’d love to have weekly conversations and see where they’re at. “Ya see the 76ers didn’t get the rose from LeBron? It’s down to 6 teams now”. They’d have a stroke. lol
LMFAOOOOOO he makes the ownership do challenges like its Making The Band
I never thought it was any of that. It was explicitly a fundraising event for a young man early in his career. He raised 6 million dollars for the boys and girls clubs with that spectacle. I was hoping more athletes started doing it. This is all entertainment and the decision was for a good cause.
LMFAOOO he should do brackets of teams and cross one off every week
And then when he has three left, he should sit at a table with a hat for each and put his choice on like high school athlete picking a college.
LMFAO plot twist, he decides to retire and have the NCAA rules changed to allow him to play 4 years of college ball
that would be 10⁄10 ragebait holy hell lmao
And have a representative of every team there to look dejected when they get eliminated, like at the lottery.
oh don’t give me that
You don’t believe that? The potential of Lebron bringing the Knicks their first championship in 54 years and filming a whole documentary about it for his likely final season would be huge.
I’ll happily take the 53 year drought instead though.
Yeah, I 100% believe this. Huge in LA, Huge in NY, Huge in Miami. The media appeal / fan base establishes him as a huge sportsperson to a bunch of fan bases across multiple huge markets.
Well, if his motivation is establishing himself in a new major sports market…
time to join the 🐪 out east?
Same. I’d rather sit with another nothing year than an LBJ and a championship and the forever what-abouts and what-ifs, public commentary, bandwagoners, etc.
The 2026 Knicks earned it and will forever have a special place in the rafters.
Still can’t believe we get to talk about the rafters and it’s not a meme
I think this is true, the Knicks were a very well constructed team and in the east , had a great chance of winning. They also had no standout star player before the ring. LeBron would obviously pick somewhere, he would arguably be looked at as the star player due to reputation.
They were also the knicks, would have been great for his legacy to get a chip there
yeah there‘s so many factors in favor the the knicks
He probably would‘ve gone there
retirement tour ending in ending the championship drought? whole world may have said he was better than jordan if he brought us a chip and was a big part of winning it.
Bronson was a star even without the ring. But I know what you’re saying.
Bron knows he can’t pull a KD. How embarrassing for KD
The Warriors did not win the 2016 Finals.
But they won it the year before, and won 73 games
2022 was the cherry on top
But they didn’t win in 2016. That’s the point lol. LeBron can’t go to a team that literally just won the title. If they won, lost in iconic fashion, then it’s whatever
And yet joining the Knicks now would still be far less egregious than joining GSW in 2016 lmao
This guy
we’re not seriously having this argument in the year 2026
Lebron is considering the spurs and other teams with multiple stars wym.
This is turning into a corny charade. Anything these days for publicity
The first “Decision” was corny too
We registered 1,000+ people to vote that night and collected over 50k for boys and girls clubs.
I got to meet Bron that night. Wasn’t corny to me lol.
We also took 25 guns off the streets, created 75 jobs, and fed 500 food insecure people.
People just don’t understand the decision and all the good it brought to the world.
I put like 70 guns in the street that night and fired 120 people, then set a wheat farm ablaze. So in reality….
Jordan would’ve created 800 jobs and then worked them all himself
killer instinct
you know who was Bron’s agent during The Decision?
Leon Rose.
The is just every The Decision™️
So, who’s had the next longest championship drought 👀
Edit: please r/NBA, for once, actually consume the piece of media before commenting.
The wizards still exist homie
*allegedly
You read them up on that board? Y’all got good public schooling in Massachusetts.
Not trying to burst your bubble but it’s definitely not you lol.
Sacramento - 75 years (1951 Rochester Royals)
Atlanta - 68 years (1958 St. Louis Hawks)
Phoenix - Never (58 years)
Clippers - Never (56 years)
Utah - Never (52 years)
Nets/Pacers - Never (50 years)
Portland - 49 years (1977)
Washington - 48 years (1978)
Philly - 43 years (1983)
Orlando/Minnesota - Never (37 years)
Time for him to truly cement his GOAT status and help get the Kings their first title in 75 years!
Orlando- Never 👀
Never been on LeBoard either.
I saw that it’s not; we’re just having fun lol.
The King goes To The Kings
Lore accurate LeBron
Imagine teaming up with Paolo and Franz and leading Mickey Mouse to his first ever championship
Shaq went to the Lakers from the Magic
Dwight went to the Lakers from the Magic
Come on LeBron let’s reverse this once. We’ll get you a Disney annual pass
We’ll even splurge and get him the Incredi-pass. None of that Pixie pass nonsense here
Not on LeBoard.
So it’ll take some cajoling you say? Time to get Walt’s Ghost on the phone!
Hey I think this is bs. LeBron has always liked the Knicks except for the reality of playing for the Knicks. I think this is just a thing to say.
I am so grateful for this team / Brunson. I remember Lebron in his mid 20’s ‘King of New York’ era because he’d come to the Garden and beat us and also we had no one during that time who was consistently our guy.
It’s such a great feeling that winning and having a person we believe in can erase that narrative.
I mean this is the first time in LeBron’s 20+ year career that the Knicks have been a viable championship contender (and obviously now winner), it’s not surprising that Bron would want to join them now
Bullshit
Everything from Klutch is bullshit
Yeah I don’t buy that either.
The narrative controlling is the worst part about having LeBron on your team so I am glad we will be over it soon.
This shit is getting dumb
I hope someday to love someone as much as LeBron loves almost signing with the Knicks
They must be devastated hearing this
Just dropped to my knees in front of the Larry O’Brien
Jason? Is that you?
So devastating that we won a championship instead of getting Lebron and maybe a championship? lol
Most socially aware nba fan
The Knicks with LeBron could be anything!
Even a championship team!
Sarcasm.
James Dolan is devastated
if the “narrative” is all that prevents him from joining up and potentially pushing a team to win the first b2b in like 8 years or more then thats a weak excuse lol
It’s not really the narrative. The Knicks have championship chemistry having spent two years together with this core (or more for Hart and OG). Adding that element in can mess that up.
This whole thing in hilarious. Rich Paul is really trying his hardest to freeze or manipulate free agency.
Nah every team is assuming Bron sign a minimum at this point. They will pay him through his documentary.
If LeBron joined the Knicks, he’d be like the 4th most popular player with the fanbase after we just got a championship run. And I dunno if his ego would be ok with that.
LOL, he could go there in 2010 that’s what he even should have done back than.
Klutch propaganda at its worst.
no he should have never gone there in 2010. Dolan was twice as insufferable and a LOT more controlling of the whole team than he is now. One of the reasons the knicks won is bec dolan never tried to control who to sign and who to not. Also wtf would he have done with selfish one dimensional melo? lol come on
They gonna drag this shit for 6 months. And he gonna sign to the kings
We’ll know by July 6
Thank god we won
Hearing him speak, it’s truly affirming to realize you don’t need to be incredibly intelligent, charismatic, or insanely well-spoken to become the most powerful agent in the NBA. He sounds like a million other guys I know with middling jobs in some small business.
But he was in the right place in the right time, so that’s what he is. Just weird hearing him stumble over basic ideas and constantly interject with “here’s the thing-“ and knowing I too can reach these heights one day
You just need a best friend who happens to be one of the greatest basketball players of all time…
I’m still diligently working on that part but I have a feeling it will happen!
So lebron to spurs then
So glad the Knicks got to win with their scrappy, vibes-based team and not have to credit LeBron for it
This guy is way too relevant. He’s an agent with no talent it should be the players on the news every day not this schmuck.
I think banging Adele should be considered a talent
I was wrong he has one talent 😂
and yet you could have easily chosen to ignore this little silly video. instead you watched, and even left a comment on a reddit post about it. then you wonder why the guy is relevant… do the math my guy!!!!
I doubt LeBron James wants more time in the media as opposed to playing golf while his agent deals with it.
comments on this video just tells me this sub is just of knick fans. Which is perfectly fine and i loved it here when they won the ring last month but u say anything bad about the knicks and they cant deal with it. And i dont even know if anything bad about the knicks was even said here
To be fair, he is doing his job and being the one to look bad for LeBron.
No way he’s doing this without Lebron’s approval.
People will glaze LeBron for his greatness, but his attention seeking has always been his biggest downside.
Assuming the Knicks would have him.
bruh rich paul just confirmed they have called to check up on the situation for lebron. And thats after getting a ring. They sure as hell would have called if they hadnt won it this year
If he’s willing to take the vet min, they would’ve. Why would you say no to LeBron on a vet min deal?
No one would say no. It’s insane value. Vet min LeBron would be such a great addition to the Knicks specifically since he can bring the ball up, get his own buckets, and is an elite passer.
honestly for ownership, even if you don’t win, getting to sell Lebron jerseys on your team more than pays for itself
Exactly. Unless Bron falls off a cliff next season, him on a vet min is like finding a diamond mine in your backyard.
Enterprise Value 😑
All I needed to hear to say no thank you anyway
This is so silly
Bron would need to come off the beach in NY.
Great beaches along the Hudson
it’s the brunson now.
I look forward to LeBron retiring.
Rich Paul is fucking insufferable.
Knicks fans don’t want him
I mean, for a vet mini its hard to get better value.
Otherwise, I agree no need to get him.
Max Kellerman is such a scrub
Rich Paul really pulled up with a board and a pointer. NY winning really made everyone act like a fool.
If that’s true than he should join the Pacers
This guy doesn’t get enough hate.
Him or LeBron? IMO Lebron didn’t just leave because the Lakers were meh, he left because they had Luka and was no longer “The Guy” for the Lakers because he’s over 10+ years older than Luka.
Is it just me or is this shit lame as fuck 😂
I’m glad we won without LeBron, it wouldn’t feel right if he came to NY for one season and got the credit for pushing us over the final yard. This chip was so much more meaningful in the sense that our star who led us was developed in his time in NY.
Ok
Bron can help end a championship drought in Minnesota, Melo, Ant, Jaden, Bron, Gobert 🔥
I personally really want him to go there. Hes a good fit there and they are desperately looking to win there and he can load manage
Bron on this current Knicks roster, that already started OG Anunoby at power forward, would work well, and allow him to pick his spots more. It would also take pressure off of Brunson, and help KAT get up cleaner looks. I don’t know if it would happen, but it definitely could work.
Idk why we keep platforming this clown
I’m not up to date on where LeBron is considering, nor have I watched this video, but are the Wizards in the mix? Ending his career where MJ did, teaming back up with AD, playing alongside Young and mentoring the new #1 pick. The Wizards could be a fun team to watch.
It feels like Bron has matured a ton but Rich Paul has only regressed lmao. If I’m Bron I do not want this man in front of a mic
I would’ve been so pissed if LeBron swung in and got to co-opt the championship. It absolutely would’ve been treated more as part of his story than New York’s, we’d have never heard the end of it.
LeBron is funny man, for a guy who wants to be liked, he goes out of his way to be unlikable.
I lost many neurons listening to this conversation :( they committed seppuku
I don’t think I understand
Wanted the narrative of finally winning NY a ring and ending the drought. Now it’d be the worst story of any of the possible teams.
Damn, if only he could have made an earlier decision about this. Oh well!
Don’t believe him, he want to go super team spurs
The spurs biggest weaknesses are all covered by bron. By an objective basketball fit, he easily helps the spurs the most. 3 point shooting, a physically strong 4, rebounding, passing. Legit everything they lack. Even at his age bron is a huge mismatch vs Okc. And they can load manage him till the playoffs.
3 point shooting? LeBron shot 31.7% from three last year. He’s also gonna be one more year older at 42.
being able to play pick and roll with Wemby and develop him would literally let him play another like 3 years with decent efficiency too lmao
If the Knicks flamed out in the second round, he’d be joining on the chance he heroically brings them a championship.
Now he could be seen as the guy that disrupted their championship core(irrespective if that’s fair or not).
Somehow I don’t believe that. I’ve been burned by him before. He never chose the Knicks back when we were promising 🤷♂️
This is embarrassing.
Take the Wizards to the finals there will be no more debate
They could’ve had Giannis and LeBron. Not bad.
Max is a Knicks fan now? He claiming us again?
Kinda wish they didn’t win. LeBron going to the Knicks and giving them a championship would truly be insane
I recall he was close in 2010 too
Lebron is gunna be 42. He isnt running any team at this point
Should come in 2010 if he wanted the legacy.
Stop posting these gas bags
I’m so happy the Knicks won. It would’ve sucked to have the first ring in decades be all about LeBron.
They probably get Giannis and LeBron if they don’t win it, thankfully they did so now they won’t go there
Dude is actually insufferable
i wish rich paul would stop talking publicly on lebron’s behalf
Enterprise value… man shut the fuck up
I’m glad we won without LeBron. If he wants to come and help us repeat though he can be my guest.
Rich Paul gonna be saying a whole lot of shit this offseason. lol
I don’t FW LeBron and wouldn’t want him joining the Knicks ever, let alone after a championship, that’s KD type behavior.
You can’t just join the Knicks and become a Knick. When he joined the Lakers I never saw him as a “Laker” and honestly still don’t. At this time I asked a Celtics friend how he would feel if LBJ joined the Celtics, and his answer was “he’s not a Celtic”. There are only a handful of franchises like that; it’s got to be earned.
This is also true for the Knicks. Once a Knick, always a Knick, but Knicks greats are few and far between, and I would hate to have LBJ in that conversation for the simple reason he’s an all time great and HOFer without giving and bringing something to NY.
Respect to LBJ for stepping aside on this one.
