Lebron James on his latest Instagram story reacts to Chris Brockman saying he will be a non factor and that Miami will be a play in team if he joins the Heat
What if this guy rage baited LeBron into joining the heat
Someone should’ve rage baited him into doing the dunk contest a decade ago
Two decades ago
He could still win it now
I might be able to win it now
Found mac mcclung’s account
First the heat sent purple guy for wade now they send this guy for bron lol
I still think about purple shirt guy
Me too 😔
And by all accounts, I’ve only read good things about him outside of that event. Seems like somebody that really was more living in the moment and letting emotions take the wheel than someone trying to piss Wade for the sake of being a heel.
Lebron: “Challenge Accepted!”
???
Bron Bron doesn’t do challenges.
Except Harlem Shake
and ALS Ice Bucket challenge
“I took that personally”
4d chess
YES PLEASE
I wouldn’t mind one bit : keys under the mat. hot cookies on every flight
LeBron seems like the kind of guy to be affected by negging but pretend like he isn’t
He really is just like me, isn’t he?
*sigh* girl same 🫣
The guy isn’t wrong. Miami would be lucky to reach the playoffs.
Skip bayless probably jealous that lebron gives attention to this guy
Skip can’t believe he spent 60 years hating on LeBron and some random guy got a reaction first
Crying black man “Am I a joke to you?”.jpg
Unironically yes
It is 100% deliberate that he’s never acknowledged Skip atp and it’s hilarious because it’s all Skip wants.
that he’s never acknowledged Skip
Are people forgetting (or are r/nba nephews too young to remember) the lockout season when we had a leaked LeBron/KD rap song that explicitly called out Skip Bayless?
that was 14 years ago (if youre talking about the 2012 lockout) I think its reasonable to forget
https://youtu.be/QgFIpWTdoW4?si=8rniNkDbktvlUibM
For those interested.
Seem like it was KD’s verse that mentions Skip, not LeBron.
one time in a tweet he said skip was “good for television”. i think this was back in like 2012, but lebron has certainly mention him the way he has stephen a smith or brian windhorst
i really doubt skip gives a shit, he’s made millions off of the bit
Oh he does give a shit
“Some random guy” my ass. Put some respect on Rich Eisen’s top co-host’s name
Dear LeBron, I wrote you but you still ain’t callin
60 years has me laughing hysterically
Who tf is Chris Brockman
Wouldn’t shock me if Brockman was a Boston fan. He just has that Boston fan look to him.
He is lol
who?
He’s Rich Eisen’s co-host and he is insufferable lol
“He is insufferable”
We’ve already established he’s a Boston fan Brodie.
I think he is there to play a character and give crazy takes like they do in Overreaction Monday. Then Rich gives a balanced view to calm it down lol.
that’s his schtick lol y’all take him too seriously
Exactly lol
And he sounds like one. Dude looks like a post-testicular cancer scrotum
Well there is a Patriots helmet and Tom Brady bobblehead on his desk in this video lol
He looks like an Ice agent
Some of these Jan 6ers really turned their life around
Ironically he is a huge NE fan and is from there
Is it ironic if he’s just correct in the assumption?
(Pls excuse me im high as hell and this comment made me think way harder than I have any reason to lol )
Pointy white hat?
Listen, we are NIMBY liberal racists here. We still need legal weed and the racists mostly come out when theyre belligerently drunk then they drive back to their hometowns 30 mins outside of boston lol
But yes they ALL look like him lmao. Dude is every guy coming off the Acton MA commuter rail line
He is, dude had shitty takes about the Knicks after they knocked out Boston last year too 😂.
everyone’s already said it but yes he’s a New England Patriots fan and Boston fan. he’s pretty cringe
Seems like a lot of media pundits are from the Northeast, which explains a lot lol
This fuckery cannot continue much longer
-I said in 2019
-me again in 2023
-me again in 2025
You in 2028.
I can’t wait to see if LeBron comes back to the Cavs again in 2032
Ok but SERIOUSLY this time it legit has to be the last two years
It’s absolutely the last two years before the next ten years.
Last two years before the LeBron Player/Coach Era begins
Giving 🤡s the attention they don’t deserve. Dude is probably loving that Bron gave him exposure for such a dumbass take.
Bron was 20/6/7 last year btw.
Won a playoff series as the best player
Was the best player the series the lakers got swept, too — outplaying the running, two-time mvp — btw. Bron isn’t near his prime, but he’s far from a ‘non-factor’ lmao. I watched every single lakers game last season. I think a lot of lakers fans are gonna be in for a brutal awakening (in certain situations) without LeBron.
Lebron could be 50 with two shot knees and he still wouldn’t be a non-factor. Sure he wouldn’t be a starter. But in a playoff series he could probably still give you 10-20 minutes of quality role player minutes.
He’s always going to have the size, length and BBIQ to contribute. I personally don’t think we will ever see a truly bad Lebron. Like if he plays a even 25 season I fully expect him to still be good enough to be a starter on any team in the league.
Lebron did outplay SGA, but Ajay Mitchell and Chet were the best players in that series.
I hope you wrong because I love Bron and I wanted back on the team so bad, but we have kinda have to deal with it…
*where he was the underdog and his team was missing it’s All NBA first -team and a 3rd best player
Honestly is lowkey one of his best series. Not in terms of play or raw numbers (although he WAS great) but what he actually did.
No there best player was injured
if you call 23ppg on 53% true shooting the ‘best player’ then sure, go ahead, but the rest of the team must have been straight up trash if that were the case….btw, that was 5% below the team average….Houston were utterly dreadful that series and pretty much lost the series off of their own terrible play, as a team they had a TS of just 51% which is embarrassing, and they only had KD one game. Btw, the other four starters for the Lakers were at 66%, 63%, 58% & 61% TS. But nope, LeBron and his inefficient stat padding is what won the series LOL you stans are just so utterly deluded it’s crazy.
if you watched that series and didn’t think lebron james was the best player on the floor just stop watching basketball all together. have fun with your speadsheets
The only thing worse than a stan are the haters…
It’s mind boggling the lengths people will go to. Hey his TS was down! Yes, almost like a team missing its two top scorers might not be able to run the most efficient form of their offense and force some shots. Crazy to think.
While playing solid defense too. Really accepted a 2nd/3rd option role and did well filling out the rest of his game.
I really shouldn’t be doing this buut.. I think the whole point of this segment is to say the most outlandish shit that Rich has to react to (or be the voice of reason). He might personally believe it, but he knows how dumb it sounds.
Yeah. I don’t get the impression that brockman doesn’t believe everything he says, but the whole point of the segment is Rich saying “Come on, no one could reasonably believe that”. I know there are a lot of bad actors who use the phrase “I’m just playing devil’s advocate”, but brockman here is pretty harmless and a good way of defining narratives IMO.
Bro’s been in the league 20 years and still got ragebaited by this idiot, so congrats to him, I guess
Honestly, I kinda want to see PG Bron throwing to Bam and Giannis.
I wanna see rated R Bron throwing back to Bam and Giannis
Seems more like nc17
He’s always been wholesome and family oriented; G rated LeBron for sure
I thought Cavs Bron was G rated Bron, LA Bron was R rated Bron and Heat Bron was R Bron? I hope if he does go to South Beach he reuses his, I am going to take my talents to South Beach phrase.
I think here makes a lot of sense for him at this phase of his career.
Point-Forward will be lower physical load, less contact play. He’d crossmatch to defend 3s or 4s on defense, and he’ll have an all-time defensive back line behind him. He’d have a meaningful role, probably the most important role as the ball handler and floor general, while protecting his body more.
Me too (ignore flair)
Throwing to Bam? What does one throw to Bam?
This guy hates Mahomes and LeBron.
Just a bald Skip Bayless.
Hate that he’s on this show, because I love Rich.
He also said Ohtani should stop pitching cause he thinks he can’t do both. Then Ohtani went on a sub 1 ERA and over 1.000 OPS tear and rightfully the rest of the show didn’t stop giving Brockman shit for it. I like Rich too but I guess every show needs its heel.
He has to be the hot takes guy because Rich very rarely has one himself. It actually irritates me how Rich fanbois basically everyone lol.
He’s just a contrarian, it’s his role on the show as a foil to Rich
I mean, he is a huge Celtics/Patriots/Red Sox homer
Cannot agree more.
I can’t watch Eisen’s show anymore because Brockman is so insufferable.
What an embarrassing thing to admit….that you love Rich Paul. WTH is wrong with you? The only bigger fraud than RP is LeBron himself….they have been a cancer to the league for 15+ years and are doing their best to continue that for probably another two years.
Brother, I don’t really insult people on here, but man are you an idiot.
Not only is everything you wrote dumb, but who the hell said anything about Rich Paul???
The guy in the post is on the RICH EISEN SHOW.
I’m telling you all, he’s returning to the Heat. I bet he’s had his mind made up for some time
I’m getting the vibe he’s going to heat. I think the appeal of trying to win a ring once more with the team that he made his legacy in is undeniable
Rich paul started following a heat account weeks ago, thats when I knew
I’m trying not to get my hopes up. It’s either Miami or Cleveland. I don’t see him going to a 4th team this late in his career
[deleted]
Pat Riley has went on record to say that if LeBron ever wanted to come back, he’d “leave the key under the mat”
There were probably issues initially but it was a decade ago atp they put it behind them
He went back to Cleveland after the owner posted the runaway slave letter, had his face on urinal cakes, had batteries chucked at him and signs in the stands talking about him being embarrassment to his mother. Hell Cavs released best player to wear X jersey list and for 23 they picked Tyron Corbin 😂😭😭
Only thing he’s better at than basketball is forgiving.
Riley literally got hit with $25k for tampering years ago saying he’d welcome him back. They were hugging it up this past season when Lakers unveiled Pats statue. No reason for either one of them to shmooze if they didn’t want to.
Also what hof pictures you talking about?
And to be clear. I’m 100% certain he’s going back to Cleveland because that’s what makes the most sense. But acting like Miami doesn’t want him is hilarious.
What happened here I’m out of the loop
Dude is making shit up.
He is not winning the retirement ring then.
The heats gotta be his worst chance to win a ring over the cavs and 76ers
Lmfao he gets to play with the best player possible outside of jokic and the best coach in the league. What a foolish statement.
the fact you actually think this ring chasing fool taking the easiest road possible YET AGAIN is something to respect is just insane….kids nowadays got absolutely no concept of hard work or doing things the right way, just whatever is easiest
Reading is hard huh?
Kids lol the dude is in his 40s
Heat gives him the best opportunity to run the offense without worrying about defense and playing with people likely to actually play most of the season
People with podcasts just be saying anything
Looks like his baiting has worked 😂
This is a pretty fair response I’d say
Was the best player in a winning series against a 52 win team last season btw
Without their best player
And the Lakers had theirs? Or were they missing their TWO best players
Bruh i wonder who will you hate once LeBron retires
I dont hate lebron I just dont like his fans
and comments like that are why no one likes Laker fans
KD played a game and dropped an egg
Rich Eisen is so good and he chose this tool as his sidekick. I think Brockman is there to just say the dumbest shit so everyone else can react to it. His takes are always laughably bad.
He def is lol you can tell he isn’t being serious at all during the overreaction segments
That is the explicit point of this particular segment. Brockman says the the craziest shit he can think of and Eisen reacts to it.
Better dust off the “He’s washed ain’t he” emoji-laden post
Sounds like the type of person who also predicted Jimmy Butler would not be in the playoffs by choosing to go to Miami.
This dude just gave Nike commercial fodder. Some young intern is about to blow up using this sound bite.
Dude looks like a shaved nut sack
They literally made the play in for him
I mean surely now… This fuckery can’t go on, right? Right?
I love rich but his show is full of the worst basketball takes of all time. Ignore this.
Reverse psychology to get him to prove him wrong
I wish there is consequences when talking heads gets stuff wrong. There gotta be accountability in any job. Maybe not a punishment but gotta have a score board of right n wrong takes.
There is, it’s called not engaging them and ignoring their content. If people don’t watch them, they don’t make any money.
What would having a scoreboard actually accomplish?
Credibility.
Need to start an entire agency and staff like 100 people to keep track of all these shit takes
Ai
Gotta stop giving these people attention. They can’t be taken seriously.
what a funny guy
Bron really a GOAT.
yeah, of Going On Another Team
Most people named Chris with a microphone in front of them are stupidly stupid. Don’t check the facts.. just go with it
It’s not a terrible take but the reasoning is stupid and lazy
Skip currently jerking this clown with everything those old bones got
These mfer’s just be saying anything. 😂
This dude is thumb looking troll!
Yes, this one is a troll. We agree on this. Bron is way better than Kobe and way later into his career. And arguably a better human.
I don’t think it’s arguable.
Facts.
We can also agree to disagree. Or just be disagreeable!
Sports analyst are losers
Lebron coming back to the Heat solely for that early GTA 6 copy
Bro is mad he couldn’t qualify for Lehair transplant
I love LeBron but I think that Heat team would be the 4⁄5 seed at best and win one round. So yea non factor
He’s not wrong 🤷
Who’s the loser in the bandana
Chris Brockman is flapping his pie hole and is tripping…What a 🎤🤡😂
I mean what kinda take was that lmao bro was a beast even in last seasons playoff
How can one go from that to non existent bruh we talking Abt bron not westbrook
Simple answer:
How many times were the Lakers a play-in team while LeBron was there?
Exactly.
Just for that he’s joining Miami now
Brockman is such a sad sorry hater.Im glad hes on the show for the counterpoint but sometimes hes just so predictably negative its draining to watch.
Guy gives us Chrises a bad name
This dude is so stupid how is he on air???
He will be a factor wherever he lands he will improve that team and is able to carry them if necessary did you not watch the playoffs?
It’s true , 41 year old lebron can still play but he’s not making any team he joins a championship team
Lebron not wrong
Miami is a playin team, but still taking down the first seed anyways
I wonder whether Jordan’s mystique would have been the same had he played in the social media era.
With his competitive streak, probably not. If he had a Skip of his own he would pull strings to get him banished to North Korean TV
Bron could be 16-7-6 and still be a huge factor.
Tf is he talking about.
The Heat need a point guard.
Giannis and Bam do all the scoring and dirty work.
Bron just make the plays and control the tempo of their sets.
That’s a very deadly trio.
Not including the fact they’ll have vets lining up to give it their all for a possible ring.
It’s 2005-2006 Heat all over again, 20 years later.
Lakers were a play in team half the time when LeBron was with the Lakers, despite having AD and Reaves et al and bro wasn’t 42yo either…..so not sure what the controversy is
Age factor and I’m not talking about being slow. I’m talking about missing games and being injured. I’m talking about Giannis turning 32 in December.
If Lebron James joins the Heat, I just don’t think his 3 pt shot is enough to respect and help Bam and Giannis.
The heat need elite guard play and wings.
Bron is 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 because he’s not joining the Heat. He will be joining Embiid the Broken and Brown the Smart.
Who has a better story than Bron the Broken?
Lmao no way LeBron fell for it and gave this man his clicks 😭😭😭
Bam Giannis and LeBron would be pretty ugly basketball
On the contrary I think Lebron lobbing it up to Giannis and Bam would be great basketball.
Plus a Giannis/Bamonte frontcourt takes all the defensive pressure off The King
Mitchell and Wiggins are good defenders too. He can stand there on defense and still be covered
Yeah, but the spacing is shit. They can compete with defense and physicality, but their key weakness will be spacing
They’ll start 2 40%+ 3pt shooters it’ll be fine
A triple alley oop would hit platinum numbers.
Not really that hot of a take. The heat are not contenders with or without LeBron. If it wasn’t for spo they’d legit be a play in team. With spo I’ve got them around 4 or five but with no actual shot to win the east.
Bam is useless alongside Giannis. They should’ve flipped bam for something. Trade makes no sense.
Spo can turn 5 uber drivers into a playoff team so I have no doubt he can turn some scrubs into solid rotation players. But the spacing will be horrendous.
“Bam is useless alongside Giannis” and it’s the greatest defensive frontcourt tandem we’ve seen in like 20 years
In a generation dominated by guard play and shooting.
Good thing Bam and Giannis are the most switchable front court of all time.
Also size is back in lol
Cleveland has been running their twin towers and have year over year made it farther into the playoffs every time. The top 2 teams in the West have aberrantly tall, lanky big men to anchor their defense around. Jokic, Giannis, and Embiid have been dominating the MVP award before Shai came around, even then he’s not that short himself. Kat defined the Knicks playoff run as the one piece that stepped up and helped contain Wemby so that Brunson could go off and take them to wins.
The generation you’re talking about is at a bookend. It was the generation of guards. Trae got effectively salary dumped to the Wizards. His time is over. A lot of small guards are done. Brunson is the last of a dying breed. Teams are prioritizing long, athletic dudes because a lot of them are starting to have guard-like skills. At some point you gotta see where the pendulum is swinging
