And I saw a clip of that, too |
I didn't get an opportunity to actually see the game live, but I saw that he was able to score one in the match the other day, and I thought that was pretty unique |
The fact that he would do that and also be with Liverpool football club |
I've been listening to those guys for so long |
I was listening to those guys when I |
My first year with the heat in 2010 |
You can ask any one of my teammates back then had no idea what Amigos was |
They were, like, cursing me out when I would play it throughout the weight room or play it throughout the locker room |
I was like, I'm telling you, these guys are next |
I'm |
Then, you know, right now these days, like, turn this off |
I'm gonna hear this |
Just fast forward to me just |
Just knowing I take off personally and see |
My condolences to Quavo and the family and the whole QC family |
And everybody |
Second thing I saw was three rims from being poked in eye on that previous possession when I drove to the hole and then in transition, so I just aim for the middle one |
To the brown |
LeBron James has a about a 40 inch vertical leap, unlimited range on his jump shot |
But the strength of his game could be his passing |
Last season, he won a second state championship and was the first sophomore named to USA Today's All America team |
James outside for three |
James is young enough to have been born during Michael Jordan's rookie season and talented enough that some say he might be the next Jordan |
The two number 20 three's have already played together |
James has created such a buzz that his team can no longer play here in its own gym |
It's too small |
They now play their home games at the University of Akron, where the capacity is about 6000 |
And you never know who might show up |
James is already the subject of a sneaker war between Adidas and Nike |
His high school wears Adidas, and James receives custom made sneakers complete with his initials and number |
Nike says it's trying to build a relationship with James and his family, but can't sign him until he turns pro |
To the basket, scores |
Nice play by LeBron James |
Thought about challenging an NBA rule which says you can't turn pro until your high school class graduates |
He figured he's as old as Ty Tryon and he's a pro |
James is 17 |
He's staying in school |
He says he's thinking about college, but few expect him to go |
In the meantime, the legend continues to grow of the schoolboy from Akron who some say just might be the next Jordan |
Listen, I will call Kyrie the wizard all the time |
Like, all the time |
Like, there was nothing on the basketball floor that Kyrie couldn't do |
And sitting here watching it, you know, I'm like, I'm playing, like, so fucking happy and so proud |
And to watch him and continue his growth or whatever the case may be, and at the same time, I'm so fucking mad at the same time that I am not his running mate anymore |
So I'm like, I just remember those times |
And to |
Back to what you were saying, jj, to have a guy like Kyrie Irvin as the ultimate wild cardinal, that's like having a draw four in your hand every time someone deals you cars in Uno |
Like, every single time, because he has the ability to |
Like you said, I saw him in game one, west conference finals, game one |
You know, I think up until that point, I don't know the stat |
Cause I'm not writing down the stats, and I don't call the games like you guys, but I think Kyrie was only averaging, like, eight points in the first half |
Like, in the second round of the playoffs, you know, he was getting at 16 to 20 in the second half |
But in the first half of games, you know, he was like, six |
And you like, okay, you know |
You know you're gonna have Kyrie in the fourth, but I need you sometimes in the first half, too, brother |
But, like, what he did in game one, it was like, at a western conference |
Finders, you was like |
That was like, oh, shit |
Dallas may be able to not only win the Western Conference finals, they might be able to win the whole thing because of that wild card |
I have so many words to praise Kyrie that I end up with absolutely none, because it's just |
It's so |
He's the most gifted player the NBA has ever seen |
He has the best gifts I've ever seen of any NBA player |
I've never seen a guy in my NBA life that feels better at times shooting with his offhand than he does with his primary hand |
If Kyrie's off in a game with his right hand, he will literally go exclusively to his left hand |
I've never seen nothing like that |
The shot, one thing I'm thinking, the shot that he made versus Denver towards the regular, end of the regular season on Joker |
It's one of the most ridiculous shots I've ever seen in my life |
He's just that special |
Oh, my goodness |
Absolutely |
And by the way, we're both saying the exact same thing, and he's just |
He's remarkable |
I mean, obviously it's a really good feeling when you have it going and you're winning |
That's the most important for me |
But, you know, the appreciation for the fans here, you know, I just try to give them the game back and it was very well received and I just try to reciprocate that by going out and playing games |
I love to play at a high level |
I've been able to be on the floor a lot more during non game days |
My footage felt a lot better |
I didn't have much time to, like, really rep a lot last year because I had to make sure that I could be on the floor running around or putting, you know, much, you know, pounding on the floor with my foot |
So I've had a lot of opportunity to, like, get on the floor, see me for every game out on the floor, working on my game, working on my craft |
So that that's helped out a lot, too, and try to stay consistent with my shot, same shot every time and just work, work, work, work, work |
The fourth when they cut it to eight and |
Yeah |
I mean, obviously the long ball in our game is definitely a momentum shifter, you know, so, you know, obviously cam got it going and I hit a couple threes and cut it to, I think, eleven before they eight |
They got the eight |
They got the eight at the end of the third and they got the eight early in the fourth |
So just trying to make my mark, see if I can get it going, too |
You got to be able to score in this league as well |
You know, you got to be able to stop, but you got to keep scoring, too |
And I was able to |
I was able to get a hot streak |
Well, I don't never have to lean on it, because I can do so much |
I can score at any level on the floor |
You know, basically, once I cross half court, you know, I can score in the post, I can score off pick and rolls, I can score off the ball of cutting or being a recipient of my teammates making a play for me |
But, you know, being able to have a growth mindset and be able to work on things that the league is changing, too |
You know, the league is a heavy three point shooting league |
I'm not a, you know, one of those guys that want to go out there and shoot, you know, 12, 14, 15 threes a game, but I want to be respected, and teams have to play me from the outside |
I know that's still kind of one thing that teams still want to be like, okay, if you have to give up something, we much rather shoot the ball from outside |
But, you know, shooting the long ball and also making my free throws, that's very important for me this season, in the last few seasons, obviously, which I could give |
