Gil's Arena GETS REAL On Why LeBron Doesn't Have More Rings

Lebron should never be compared to MJ and Kobe. Lebron created his own lane and blueprint for success. All of them are the great.

It was Doug Collins who said "get the ball to Michael and get the hell out of the way", not Phil Jackson.

What they failed to mention that LeBron went to Miami and played under Coach Eric Spolstra along with D. Wade and Chris Bosche. Then went back to Cleveland and played with K. Love, K. Irving, JR Smith coached by Ty Lue. Then went to Lakers played with AD, D. Howard, Rajon Rondo, K. Kuzma, A. Caruso, M. Morris, Javale McGee and was also coached by Frank Vogel. In other words LeBron did play within a system with a few coaches.... But he did not play Tex Winters, Phil Jackson triangle system like MJ, Shaq and Kobe.

40k career points w/o a bag is quite impressive Rashad 😂😂

Salley was partially right. Phil Jackson said the triangle was designed to get role players shots, not the stars. He said MJ could get any shot at any time, but the triangle allowed the role players to stay involved in the offense.

“Well I’ve been watching the show…You don’t. You don’t not like LeBron”~ John Salley Comedic timing was clutch 😂 💎

This was the most introspective and informative discussion I've heard on this topic, really got me thinking.

Rashad don’t understand that without the triangle, we watched Jordan and Kobe lose multiple times, pre and post Phil

Mccants will make a great argument poorly

Mccants tried to deny the fact he don’t like Lebron & Sally said “ I’ve been watching the show you don’t “ 🤣😭😭

John Salley schooled them young boys with his basketball knowledge.

Going back to the original premise…LBJ has some accountability for choosing to NOT find system like the triangle to win more chips…he had more control to move to other franchises or form his teams and who’s the coach. MJ and Kobes had to accept, adapt and evolve their games to win more within the system they were coached to run…part of each player’s BB IQ. Flip this hypothetical, non-system Jordan still would have won more and be the all time record holder of stats as his “drive” for greatness was unmatched.

Jennings got me hot from saying malik monk better than donovan mitchell

15:40 “this is a great analogy, I’m stealing this for a segment”😂

Rashad literally KILLS ME LIKE BRO!

A lot of facts spoken.... you are constantly going to hear things like this for the next 20 years.

John Salley created this chaos and just sitting back enjoying it 🤣 20:55

Love that actual players discuss instead of never played talking heads. Great conversation.

One thing about sports arguments and debates: One can not make a definitive statement based on an “if” or an opinion. It’s also funny that folks use the all-time scoring record as an advantage for LeBron. The same folks never used this argument for Cap or Karl Malone (in terms of greatness based on all time scoring).

Lebron: System shmistem, gimme the clipboard this is what we'll do. By the way you're fired, now GTFOH!
