Lbj 20 seasons, Mj 15 /19 seasons. Mj averages 2152 pts per season played. multiply that by the 4 seasons missed 8611 pts that puts LJ 2251pts behind Mj. Playing 1 more season than mj 😢. Imagine if LJ was first and MJ was chasing his record. 😂😂
here's the thing though, if you Have the ball In Your Hands, for the final minute in every game, and you play more games than anyone else by far, of course you will have the most points in the final minute. and having the most buzzer beaters in the playoffs sounds great, but when you've been in So Many playoff games, it means less.
I'm not saying lebron Isn't clutch. I'm just saying that if you get all the touches and all the playing time and you play for So Long, then the numbers will add up.
LeBron's not clutch because Jordan needs to have that killer mentality thing over LeBron. LeBron's not an, if not the, all-time great scorer because Jordan was known as an all-time great scorer. It's just like how people say that Jordan was not bad from three, despite multiple seasons just objectively shooting bricks and only averaging a few attempts per game.
There was never ever an athlete that gets discredited like Lebron. He could drop 100 points out of 102 and some weird old white males who have alot of insecureties would talk about those 2 points he didnt score
Tell em JJ
JJ is right!! Stat don’t lie….👍👊🍷🍷 Thanks JJ they are just envy….😂😂
Why is he in my algorithm? Least interesting playing and podcaster. YAWN.
This is why i love JJ ! Hes a realist. and if you dont agree you jist a hater plain and simple.
LeBron James is clutch 💯🙌🏾🐐
Biggest lebron glazer
People must can't accept that he's the goat
Pathetic argumentation when referring to clutch time. He only quoted total quantity of points which is a consequence of longevity in Lebron’s case.
Of course Lebron is not clutch. You can see him every game in the 4th
It's amazing JJ Redneck even has a following at all after he disrespected an entire era with his genius plumbers and firemen take… Anyone could easily disrespect the modern era by saying no one played defense, foul calls were rampant, teams only shot 3's, star players were fond of load management, star players teamed up with each other to form super teams, TRAVELING AND CARRYING WERE ABSOLUTELY NEVER CALLED EVER, and scoring points was easier than ever before in history. Players today are talented but I have a hard time believing modern NBA players would've averaged their current point totals in the 80's-90's era NBA. Defense is a hustle stat, you could take a player from the 80's and place that player in the modern NBA and that player could play defense just as well as most players in today's league… JJ Redneck will never be remembered as a dominant player in his day, he's had more success talking about the game than playing it.
I make a clear distinction. There's a difference between an all time great scorer and an all time great offense – and Lebron is the latter. One can argue that because players like Durant, MJ, Kobe are versatile and that they are better scorers. But Lebron can either set up an offense for himself or others at the rate that he does it which makes him an all time great offense.
So true!!!🐐
The greater you are, the louder the hate will be. MJ stans are so threatened by Lebron that no matter how great he is he’ll never top MJ in their eyes. I hope one day when someone has an even better career than Lebron I can be objective
Jj redick is the only sports commentary who knows what hes talking about what is wrong with this world
Great Job JJ 🎉💪
I didn't know JJ was this low lol. Total point score is the longevity stat that you can't deny.
Lebron is not the greatest scorer if you look at ppg, and scoring titles. Stop spreading lies.
If you're watching first take for useful information, that's your first mistake
Imagine if Bron got the calls 23 in red got 😂. He would broke the record a year earlier……
Hey JJ, if Kareem had came into the nba out of high school like lebron, do you think he would still hold the scoring title?
Your the only dumb one here jj honestly your a real clown 🤡
2011, 4-6, Balco
JJ you are so wrong. Great scorer and being the one who has the most points is different. And it is not just about scoring, it also matters when you score too and how you score.
JJ that is because Lebron played for a long time. That is it. You should know that sir. Being a great scorer and being one who has most points is different.
People just love to hate LeBron James because he makes most of them feel insignificant in their personal life! So they go through hus career with a fine tooth comb looking for literally ANYTHING to complain about! 😂😂😂
When you actually listen to some of the arguments they make, it not just doesn't make sense, it's often not even facts or statistics based! It's more or less their individual opinion! Even worse, some of them criticize LeBron just trying to stay relevant and would literally stop at nothing to do so!
lbj is a stat padder, he is not a great finisher, yes he's had winning shots, but he is not a finisher and a killer. worse, he is a jumpshiper and he destroyed the current NBA w/his antiques
They don’t think of him as a scorer because these “casuals and Analyst” only compare Kobe and Jordan style of scoring by shooting mid to the point jump shots. Everyone base Lebron scoring ability based on some critical missed jump shots in big games. But nobody hold Kobe to losing to the Pistons in 2004 but bring up Miami vs Dallas, a loss is a loss. And Kobe lost 4-1.
Imagine if these guys made a podcast together 🤯🤯
Jj redick is a dog of LeBald Janes. A pathetic white dude being a pet of LeBald becoz of money
Horrible take JJ… hes not a top 5 scorer and id prove it to you if we met… hes an all time great scorer but not top 6
this is what made lebron wanna make a podcast with him
