LeBron and JJ Redikk teaming up for a new podcast

[Braman]

Why openly lie?

They only won the first game by 8 despite Dallas shooting just 37% from the field and Miami having one of their hottest 3pt games of the year (Bron was 4-5, Wade was 2-4, Chalmers was 3-7, Miller was 2-4).

They lost Game 2 by 2 even though Mavs still only shot 6-17 from 3pt.

They won Game 3 on a last second shot despite the Mavs still shooting just 40%.



There was no point in the series where they were "beating the breaks off the Mavs". They struggled to score against the Mavs from the start and only stayed in games with their defense. Once the Mavs got hot from the field they didn't have a clear path to outscoring them. Game 4 they could have stolen if Bron had played better, but Games 5-6 they got wiped out by the outside shooting.

This thread gettin nasty. I’m a Lebron fan, but please stop with this shyt. Dude is right, it was all mental that series was not about X’s and O’s

Lebron averaged 17 a game vs Dallas

That is mind boggling. To put that in perspective his next lowest series average before or after was 22 a game when he was a pup with no J vs San Antonio

And what really hammers home the mental part is he shot 35% vs SA. Their defense was stifling. But against Dallas he shot 47%. 17 on 47%?? So that tells you it wasn’t even their defense, he was not shooting; it was mental.

And why that’s relevant it shows yall on some tryhard hypebeast shyt. Yall gassin anything they say

Think you know more about basketball than two NBA players with 36 combined years of NBA experience brehs

You just told on yourself

Go back to the chip kelly story. Dope story. But within that, if you know chip Kelly, you’d know he learned the spread from a high school coach. An OC actually, not even a head coach. And much of todays nfl game are from HS concepts. That underscores that knowledge in a sport is not dictated by your success in it or playing pro.

So that’s what many of us are saying and what you just admitted in 4k: you’re hyping basic basketball concepts simply bc it’s coming from NBA players. They are saying some stuff we don’t/wouldn’t know, but they are also saying A LOT of shyt that someone who just knows basketball and played a lower level will know. It only seems complex to a causal or a non hooper

A lot of bloviating and pretentiousness

The problem with "high level" basketball talk is that more than any other sport, talent wins out at the end of the day. Did your stars outperform the other team's?

Sure, there's subtle things teams can do with defensive coverages but if a player is hitting tough shots, not much can be done.

Did Spo outcoach Bud last year? Maybe, but the reason Miami won is because Jimmy had an out of body experience for five games.

X's and O's didn't cost the Kings game seven against GS; Steph Curry going for 50 did.

9 times out of 10, it's as simple as that.

I mean this is kinda the same with even football, you could have the perfect coverage but the QB scrambles for 25. Or you have the perfect run scheme, but the LB blows up the play by out leveraging a guard.

That critique doesn't make any sense, because how do you know the star's performance had nothing to do with scheming? You're just assuming that and then declaring it to be true.

Pistons without Chuck Daly's defense weren't going anywhere. Jordan and Kobe without the triangle offense were still putting up numbers, but they weren't winning anything. Hakeem was a regular 1st round exit until they created an inside-out offense unlike what anyone else implemented. Duncan without Pop would still have been a beast, but he wouldn't have 5 titles. LeBron's roster at Miami only won because Spolstra implemented a specific small-ball system with a lot of offensive movement and a suffocating swarming defense. Steph Curry would have been a nobody, just like he was the first five years of his career, without Kerr putting Draymond at the 5 and running an offense around tons of screens and five shooters. Jokic isn't an MVP if he plays as a traditional center rather than a point center.

I mean, just look at how different teams play than they did in the 1980s or 1990s. EVERY team running 1980s schemes in 2024 would be losing games no matter how well their stars played. Even 2012 schemes are obsolete now. So you can't claim schemes are irrelevant, you're just taking them for granted.

it did though. even in the series thread, people were constantly calling out barnes and sabonis specifically for failing to do basic shyt before it even got to game 7

I recall everyone bytching about Sabonis playing soft as fukk and giving them very little offensively during most of the series.

Imagine a nikka doing a PODCAST, being considered a GOAT!


WOULD NEVER.

everytime this thread turns for the positive people start arguing over someone elses "opinion"

I'm not a lebron fan, like JJ as a player but could do without hearing him talk off script
but this shyt is dope, you arent supposed to watch for the personality or the arrogance ... you watch for tricks and stories

other dude last page was right, I cant wait for more people to jump on this wave now.

people in here are tripping if they think "schemes" win over raw talent and skill
you can tell who actually hoops and who just says talking points of shyt

the definition of talent and skill means ">>> better than you"
in a realistic sense, not fakkit goalpost moving...
even if you scheme to double or triple ... that opens the game for everyone else
in that Jimmy Vs Bucks example... they try to focus D on Jimmy and the rest of Miami has space

we dont have star players that im sure you love to jock if it wasnt for unstoppable players in any sport
example
if you think you "stopped KD" from scoring, you didn't ... he actually just missed you can apply this to everyone you call a star

I didnt "stop Lebron from dunking on us" ... I got lucky and he rimmed out
Delladova didnt lock curry up... curry just missed his opportunities
Kawhi over Embiid is a perfect example of this

JJ Redikk was accused of being a racist a long time ago and personally I believe it. He looks like a smug racist cac to me. It's wild how people are so quick to give him a platform.
