At 58:00 to 1:03:00 was straight gold from Gil about Goals and how to create habits
We got Mardi Gras unc!! How u forget that!
Get well Unc
Shannon, man, get some rest. You’re getting to the age where eventually your body will break if you don’t make sure you are getting rest especially when sick. Stay cool brother, we gon be right here if u miss a show it’s ok
The goat title or better player comes from not just rings or stats. We judge it from a combination or stats and rings, who you played with, competition ect. Its a combination of all those things.
Can you find someone else to talk basketball with other than Gil. His basketball takes are terrible and he’s a puppet and a clown
Never realized that Joker was a second round pick 😳
Yo LeBron James NEEDS too much help. How many different players can you actually need and claim to be the GOAT. If you take the GOAT claim away from LeBron James then it's fine. The part of the argument that Sharpe and Gil leaves out is that LeBron James has too many trades to be a GOAT. On one hand they say well scottie without him the Jordan is not a championship winner. Ok fine Now LeBron James gets no championship in Miami without WADE and CHRIS OK? IN CLEVELAND LeBron couldn't win without kyrie and love. Lakers, he couldn't win without AD !!! What is to be said about LeBron James playing longer but winning less championship games!!! If LeBron James is better than Jordan then he should have more rings because LeBron James has played longer so you should win more championships. Why because you are saying LeBron James is BETTER THAN JORDAN. Also since LeBron James is supposed to be better than Jordan then LeBron James should need less help than Jordan. However LeBron James always says he needs at least three superstar players. What??? Three. LeBron James without a shooter is dead on the court. What?,, Every single coach on national TV says that LeBron James needs shooters and a closer too. What!!! As I said before if LeBron James doesn't say he is the GOAT it would not matter. But Shaq only needed one other player to win. Kobe needed one big and he wins. Not even a superstar big just an above average big. Shannon says that LeBron James is more clutch than Jordan that is insane no one can argue that LeBron James doesn't want the ball to shoot the winning shot. Gil said it himself we will NEVER see another player who is as great as Jordan and Shannon Sharpe agreed. So how is LeBron better than Jordan. GOAT by definition means the absolute best. That is Jordan. Gil and Shannon spent way more time saying how great Jordan is and that Jordan is the bar or the goal for all NBA players after Jordan. So how can they say LeBron James is the GOAT. Enough said but I will say this once LeBron James retires and the he is no longer the face of the NBA. LeBron James is going to be destroyed by announcers and talk personality. After five years of LeBron James retires he will drop from the GOAT conversation and will drop in the rankings to about 6-7.
Bron and AD need to shoot more especially AD that man needs 30 attempts a night at this point
Jordan the goat Shannon u can't take it
I gotta say, the Lakers fan base is extremely annoying. They overplay the success of yesteryear way too hard and act entitled. Try to take shortcuts to success and wonder why the foundation isn't solid if Kobe wasn't him, post Shaq you would have been desolate. Yeah the 2020 title, but at the very least it invites a certain type of discourse. Haven't drafted or developed well in decades and when Bron is tired you'll go back to being not even relevant. No one is trying to hear that but it's the Lakers crap as a player cause fans have made it toxic instead of prideful. Lakers fan btw
Gambling fucked the NBA up
Unc and Gil,thanks for episode.
Ad needs help, not Bron. That's ad team, he has been the best player on that team since he came.
Ocho and Gil perfect for nightcap
That Alabama accent clear as day when Unc under the weather
Shannon really brainwashed himself with the labron stuff he truly thinks its close but MJ on another level then Kobe, Jordan kobe shaq magic bird duncan Kareem olajuwan bron steph
Unc 7 yesrs ago had kobe 2nd best ever after mj. Now u wanna take shots and uf bron plays bad he needs new teammates. He made the conference finals w thecsame team, he isn't the best on the team but he needs more help? Smh
What about the Eye Test? Stop the 🧢 MJ All Day‼️
If the goal of the player is to win with the greatest impact in the least years:
Mj won a chip after 7 years and Lbj won after 8. Mj had the greatest PER ever. Mj won 6 titles in his first 11 complete years with 6 finals mvps, 5 mvps, 10 scoring titles, 1 dmp, 9 all defensive team.
Why continue to play 5 out of 7 games when you can win in 4? Why continue to play if you nothing to prove?
What happened to the Suns within the first part of the week with the Clippers vs. at the end of the week with the Lakers? Didn't the Lakers beat the Clippers this week? Beal must be healed…
Unc is sick….sweating, coughing. Please get some rest, Unc.
Say Shaq n Ocho
Timone n Pumba lmao
I am gonna assume that saying trading any Kobe statue b4 or after its been unveiled is an attempt at humor. But nobody except the media expect the Lakers to win or contend with the real top teams.
Why you clowns aint talk about the mavs, haters
Whitlock destroyed Stephen A today. SAS is suppose to be a sport journalist but sounded like a frustrated inmate that had his book money taken — Disney should be totally embarrassed— is SAS really the best they got ? No wonder ESPN is dying a slow death
