Valuetainment - LeBron Joins STACKED 76ers for One Last Championship

00:00:00.000 News comes out out of nowhere that LeBron James is joining the 76ers

00:00:03.160 not to chase a ring, just to go out there to play basketball

00:00:06.420 and have a good time.

00:00:07.420 Of course, he would never want to go to a different place

00:00:09.400 because they just got a new guy in that came from the Celtics

00:00:13.280 who won a championship and won the finals MVP.

00:00:15.280 Or they got a big guy that may be the top three best centers in the league,

00:00:18.840 Joel Embiid.

00:00:19.400 Or the fact that they got a young guy, point guard or number two, Maxie,

00:00:23.420 who's becoming a superstar.

00:00:25.080 He would never do it for that reason.

00:00:27.000 He just went there because he wants to play basketball.

00:00:28.680 Well, he's not trying to chase Magic Johnson or Kobe to have five rings.

00:00:32.060 And he signed a two-year contract, $8 million.

00:00:34.380 So it's definitely not for the rings.

00:00:36.100 It's for purely legacy and a championship that he went there.

00:00:39.880 And I will tell you, it's a pretty decent team.

00:00:41.820 It's a stacked team.

00:00:43.080 There are a couple of things when you look at this.

00:00:44.380 The story came out that a reporter from New York, his name is Sam Amico.

00:00:52.660 Sam Amico is a reporter that came out and said the fact that his team,

00:00:57.600 LeBron's team approached the Knicks about him joining the Knicks,

00:01:02.320 and the Knicks are like, no, we're good.

00:01:04.440 We're passing on this one.

00:01:05.980 And some people say, well, that would never happen.

00:01:07.800 Who the hell would ever turn down LeBron James?

00:01:10.100 The Knicks got a good thing going on in the locker room.

00:01:12.640 This would be the worst move they can make to that team.

00:01:17.400 Respect to the Knicks for not even flinching and moving on on taking him.

00:01:22.120 And we saw a lot of stories coming up a few years ago,

00:01:24.780 maybe like a year ago, where Jeannie Buss was like,

00:01:27.620 this is the most egotistical superstar we ever had on the team.

00:01:31.340 Palenka knew they were done with this, allegedly,

00:01:34.620 but they wanted to make sure they didn't undermine LeBron,

00:01:37.460 and it was LeBron leaving, but in reality, they were kind of like,

00:01:40.700 go and go wherever you want to go.

00:01:42.820 When I think about the Lakers, I said this multiple times,

00:01:44.800 I think about Kobe's a Laker to me, Magic's a Laker to me,

00:01:48.180 Jerry West is a Laker to me, A.C. Green, Byron Scott, Shaq,

00:01:52.500 All these guys are Lakers.

00:01:53.800 LeBron's not a Laker to me.

00:01:55.100 He played for the Lakers and got paid pretty good money,

00:01:57.300 and he had some good highlights.

00:01:58.800 But big celebration, the fact that this guy's gone.

00:02:03.040 He is, in my opinion, top three greatest players of all time.

00:02:07.440 I have him at number two.

00:02:08.820 And the question then becomes the following, Tom.

00:02:10.800 Do you think the 76ers have a chance of winning a championship?

00:02:14.760 I have strong opinions on this, but I want to ask you.

00:02:18.460 I think on paper they do,

00:02:19.880 but you have to remember how old those legs are.

00:02:21.720 And incredible player or not, father time catches up.

00:02:27.860 And also, chemistry catches up.

00:02:31.280 Why is it that with the Lakers, they only won one championship?

00:02:35.500 Because I think the chemistry is not there.

00:02:39.420 Although I like the tweet from LeBron, like Miami and Los Angeles,

00:02:44.440 I'm choosing Philly for the beautiful beaches.

00:02:46.860 Incredible culture, incredible weather, and amazing people.

00:02:51.720 He later deleted the tweet.

00:02:54.160 Are you being sarcastic?

00:02:55.280 I'm being very sarcastic.

00:02:56.080 Okay, that never happened.

00:02:57.460 Because none of that is in Philadelphia.

00:02:59.140 That's right.

00:02:59.880 Great beaches, gorgeous.

00:03:01.940 So I don't think – do they have a chance?

00:03:05.500 Yes, they have a chance. 0.92

00:03:06.540 I'd be a fool to say they have no chance,

00:03:08.180 especially with what they've got stacked up. 0.83

00:03:10.200 However, you know, I look at it, and I'm going to stand with it.

00:03:14.340 I don't think he brings teams together,

00:03:17.160 and I think father time is going to catch up with those legs.

00:03:20.820 Okay, Adam, thoughts?

00:03:21.720 will the 76ers win a championship well the 76ers win a championship a little brown i think they'll

00:03:29.140 make it to the eastern conference finals i don't know if they're going to win a championship

00:03:32.560 but there's two very happy people um going on right now number one is my ceo friend mentor

00:03:41.200 patrick but david i've never seen a bigger smile on your face the day you got to put on a lakers

00:03:45.920 outfit again because i know how much you dislike lebron and number two are the philadelphia 76ers

00:03:52.520 because the last time that they even won a championship was in 1983 and lebron james was

00:03:57.380 born the following in 84 here's what we could say about lebron's legacy and i'll just let you guys

00:04:01.900 go from here ring chasing flopping and flip flopping this is what fourth team that he's been

00:04:09.860 on but if you want to look at the silver lining every team he's ever been on has won a championship

00:04:15.900 two with the Heat, one with Cleveland, one allegedly with the Lakers.

00:04:20.800 We'll see what happens in Philly.

00:04:22.340 But if you're relying on Joel Embiid's knees to take you to the promised land,

00:04:26.720 you might have a problem.

00:04:28.180 Yeah, and by the way, to me, this is the problem.

00:04:30.860 This is the problem with these guys, okay?

00:04:34.220 Why did the Celtics – just think about it this way.

00:04:36.820 I don't want to spend a lot of time on this.

00:04:38.360 Why did the Celtics let a finals MVP leave and keep Jason Tatum?

00:04:43.900 Why?

00:04:44.920 Why did they do that?

00:04:46.020 He was at his peak.

00:04:47.060 Why would you let a Jason Tatum lead?

00:04:49.360 He's a phenomenal player.

00:04:51.300 Well, Jalen Brown.

00:04:52.880 From what I've heard is Jalen Brown thinks he's the smartest guy in every room he's in.

00:04:58.760 He's a very difficult guy to be coached by.

00:05:01.000 Here's a clip of Jason Tatum who is, you know, talking to a bunch of kids.

00:05:04.920 And look what he says here.

00:05:05.640 A lot of people are speculating, saying Jason Tatum in this clip was talking about Jalen Brown.

00:05:10.020 Go for it.

00:05:11.460 Being a leader doesn't mean you know it all.

00:05:13.740 Right?

00:05:14.180 I don't know at all. I'll be the first person to say that. Being a leader is being comfortable with raising a hand like, Michelle, I don't know. Can you explain that to me? I don't know if they explain to you. I want to learn, right?

00:05:33.180 If somebody's been around somebody that feels like they know it all, I don't want to be around that person, right? I don't want to be the smartest person in the room. I want to learn from somebody else.

00:05:41.740 Okay, so you mean to tell me you give a 28 rebounds, six points, 28 points, six assists, six rebound guy.

00:05:51.320 You trade him for Paul George, who was 36 years old and averaged 17 points last season at 43% field goal percentage.

00:05:59.500 No, it's your way of saying, leave Jalen.

00:06:02.640 We can't build around you.

00:06:03.900 We're going to build around Jason Tatum.

00:06:05.500 That's the biggest spit in the face from the Celtics.

00:06:09.160 So now take this.

00:06:10.140 you got a bad attitude guy Jalen Brown allegedly even Stephen A went after him and said the fact

00:06:15.560 of why is Jason Tatum never been on your podcast and Jalen went after Stephen A whatever their

00:06:19.840 beef is so you got a bad attitude Jalen Brown that's not a locker room guy who said things

00:06:24.700 about Bronny LeBron's son you got a Joel Embiid who doesn't feel like he needs to play the season

00:06:30.580 and you put LeBron all those three together the person I feel bad for bad for is Maxie

00:06:35.960 I think Max is a legit fighter and a player.

00:06:38.060 And, you know, Joel at any point can get injured.

00:06:41.640 And he's good for one round or two rounds in the playoffs,

00:06:44.580 not three or four rounds.

00:06:46.080 He's going to get hurt or something's going to happen.

00:06:48.120 And I think there's going to be a lot of feud.

00:06:50.360 If they win, great story.

00:06:52.100 I don't think they make it past the Knicks, but we'll see.

00:06:54.120 We're going to have to come back and check to see

00:06:55.560 if our analysis here is good or wrong.

00:06:58.040 And we'll do that come 10 months from now

00:07:00.560 when they go into the playoffs.
