Shaq was steady showing Jokic love until it became apparent that one day Shaq v. Jokic could be a debate.
Jokic obviously way better than Shaq . Lol😂
@@TrayMarrisJrDamn you don't know basketball
People will want you to be good but never better than them
It's already a debate. What Shaq is worried about is how it won't be a debate soon.
@@GamerIntelligenceit seems like, you're the real basketball unknower😂
Shaq starting to hate on Jokic because he realizes he's going to be surpassed 😂
But that's just speeding up the process 😂
He feels threatened already. Man is so petty and insecure even at old age.
Ofn can’t be mad fam more skilled
when jokic has a threepeat sure
Joker will have a 4-Peat
I'm glad everyone else is seeing Shaqs sudden change on Jokic overnight 😂.
Jokic is too loved for that to be allowed
Shaq ain't worried about Jokic. Shaq is one of the most dominate centers in history and played during the peak era of top centers. Jokic is great but has virtually no competition at his position.
@@steveandersen996 You say that but doesn't remove the fact that Shaq always been a hater. He's been on a worldwide tour to rewrite history, but people who don't have short memories know. He's a big baby. That Shaq-Kobe beef was 90% on him. When Yao first entered the league, Shaq was more racist than a slave-owner from the south with his Shaq Fu shenanigans. When Howard called himself Superman, he went right up his ass just as Howard likes it. He clowned on Javale McGee and almost destroyed his career. Shaq is faker than Kardashian implants. So he "might not be worried" about Jokic, be he subliminally doesn't like him.
"He doesn't have 4 of theeeeese"🤣🤣🤣
@@steveandersen996buddy shaq isn’t even top 3 in his position all time kareem wilt and Russell all greater than him and jokic will be too
10-0 "the lakers beat themselves"
100 years of lakers sending nuggys home 😂😂 its like finally beating your older brother 1v1
😆
@@Bigmommashouse317cope
@@G4MBIT you good lil bro?
Denver is obviously better but in this game the Lakers missed so many good look shots up 20 and that gave Denver the spark they needed. They let them back in the game trying run the clock out at times as well.
Shaq: they got up 15 both games Chuck: yea…and they lost both games 😂😂
YES!!! Hey Shaq, teams get up by 15 ALL THE TIME! He acts like they parted the seas or something.
That was brutal. Lakers best game and they still lost. Wow, Denver is too tough. They will repeat and deserve so.
Facts and shout out to the denver bench. They are mind blowing!
50/50 to repeat
Lakers also do not matchup well with the Kings even though they had a better record. Anthony Davis is 0-9 against Sabonis and there is a good reason. Sabonis is like Jokic.
That was not their best game. Only 3 players on the Lakers had good games. They need production from all 5 starters to beat Denver.
@@ursulawanza8674but this was probably the worst you’ll see Denver play
Imagine CALLING urself THE King and LOSING to a team 10 STRAIGHT TIMES...
And so?
He is 40 years old. Not 36,35,34, let alone 28. Stop putting him on that same pedestal
@slimmoses4129 I'm pretty sure he CALLS himself "The King" and "The Goat"... Once u become a condescending individual u can't cry wolf when u get called out for being arrogant... He is a great talent, an ALL TIME GOAT of a father, and unless his name pops up on those Diddy allegations he's a great human... but GOAT, com'on man 🤨🤨😶😶🙂↔️🙂↔️
The fucking audacity of the Lakers to use the refs narrative. Are you kidding me?
Right hypocrites
Crazy right. They had like 600 more free throws last season. This season they got 24.2 fts a game making them #2. #1 was Orlando at 24.5. Shut up
How many fouls did they get away with too.
Even on that last play. Lechoke got away with an offensive foul. The nerve.
I actually understand stand them you get gifted most games Soo many fouls if one game is called NORMAL they find it odd but in reality it was just a normal game
He flexed too early, then they lost😂😂😂
"You know why? -Why? - That dude the Joker" that is the constant the Joker the MVP the best player in the world..Jokic and Murray are the best duo in NBA and the chemistry this team has is incredible Jokic,Murray,AG,MPJ and KCP the whole team is great has great bond..no ego from the MVP Jokic is so humble Murray too and that's one of the reasons it works..what a team we going back to back
The key is this Jokic and Murray control everything. Bron is in control but sometimes i forget AD is on thr court. Dude had almost 30 at the half and took like 5 shots in the second half. He has to demand touches not xry when he doesnt get the ball
l.A. lost momentum up 20 when Bron bricked a 3 and his temmates missed 3 more threes. Lkers have the talent; they are just menyally stupid; unforced errors, missed layups. They quit going to .A.D. and got cold on 3s. Ham is just a terribly incompetent coach.
@@user-yz9rr3ct1g Should the Lakers try and get Trae Young? For more firepower on offense
Darvin Ham took AD out of the game, which affected his momentum. Bad coaching.
@@kinggoku209they need perimeter defense, shooting, and better decision makers. Trae only gives you one of those most nights
And that's the problem with AD he doesn't ask for the ball smh 🤦
LeBron body language let's you know it's over buddy 🧹🧹🧹🧹
Yep he’s done😂😂😂
🐠🎣
Lebron's demeanor in the post game interview after a loss, never gets old 😂
Shaq always hating on Jokic
Good.
Why ?@@ursulawanza8674
Shaq hates on all big men in the NBA. Nothing new. He gets petty because he thinks they will outshine him even though he hasn't played in years
I ain’t gonna kill Lebron for missing the three at the end; it happens. But man, just once can it not be about the refs in the postgame? And it’s not just Bron, Darvin Ham was pulling that excuse too, and it’s frustrating. Just say you lost and that Denver’s a worthy opponent, and that you’ll try to get them back in game three. There’s no need to throw the zebras under the bus when they had every chance to win the game and just got outcoached and outplayed.
Of course you're not gonna kill him. Guys been given every excuse at every failure. It's a wide open shot to pretty much win a playoff game against a superior opponent. As usual he fails and u wanna give him a pass. Pathetic
@@TH3RICHARDSONS king of excuses
Wym Kobe or MJ or all the other grates wouldn’t miss no three they probably wouldn’t even take that shot. They would drive to the rim or get a two point shot. Why would you want to risk the game by taking a tough shot? LeBron ain’t no goat 4-10 in finals about to get swept again😂 Le crybaby he had 12 seconds on the clock run it down and drive to the rim or get a 2 point shot to maybe get a foul to make it a 3 point play or give your team a chance to win that game was leswepts fault it should all fall on him NOT the refs lakers should’ve won but lejoke had to try to look pretty 😂😂😂
Of course you will not blame lebron..nothing is never his fault..when clearly it was..he shut out AD..trying to be like Mike And Kobe ..EPIC FAIL.BLEW A 20 POINT LEAD UP.I. THE FOURTH..THE GAME WAS THERE ON A PLATTER..YET HERE YOU ARE WITH THE EXCUSES..SMH
@@TH3RICHARDSONSnot the 20 points lead that was lost … OK
This series is over. Bron can score 50 and still lose to Denver.
He can’t score 50😂
Team sport
Lebron is the reason they lost lmfao..
@@juliuscaesar6994you def ain’t watch the game he was the only doing shi last quarter everyone else disappeared
He scored 40 in game 4 vs them last year and still lost so it don't even matter @@gjohn6910
Darvin coaching lost this game should have kept feeding the ball in the 4th to AD
Exactly!!!👍🏽
Im sayin! They couldn't stop him
Thank you
Why didn’t the guy who claims to have the greatest basketball IQ make sure AD gets the ball😂
Yes because he’s the one fumbling and making bad passes and missing wide open game winners
Bron mentally checked out
How’d u get that outta all this lmfao
LeQueen has been doing that for 2 decades. TheAntiGoat is only good at stat padding
No hate but its true
Tbh i don’t blame him except AD and DLO the team was trash and he missed an open 3. I’d be upset to
Come one bro, I was dunking on LeBron during game 1 but he did not check out this game 2. He was dropping buckets on the 4th. He was on a roll except for the big 3 point miss. Did you watch the game?
Kenny guaranteed Denver would come back and win💯💯
Didn’t know Austin Rivers was on the Lakers
Facts... Been mad quiet
was looking for this comment
So DLo played well now. Scapegoat is reeves and rui now huh
They need both to step up, DLo and Austin, it can't be one or the other. They need like 15 a piece a game,
DLo did last night but Austin needs too
Kobe and MJ not missing a wide open 3 with the series on the line 😂
Well, objectively speaking Lebron has a better clutch 3-pointer percentage than MJ so that’s not true
@@jerryren4076objectively speaking Lebron is a better suitcase packer too cause ITS OVER 🗣️
You do know Kobe missed the most shots in NBA history ?? Lmao
Many goats would have made that shot and a few sheep too
@@thanos8914lol 😂 😂
Lebron need more officiating help
Nah, Bron failed that chances tho.
Bron was blowing layup start from the first quarter
Yeah like Double T Jokic early in game 3
All I am thinking about how the Lakers gonna bounce back from this loss in game 3 That game winner by Murray was nothing but cold blooded 🩸🥶
This game maybe deflating to the lakers They played well.. even down the stretch when Denver came back… they made plays down the stretch… Denver just took it another level This wasn’t the lakers losing this was Denver showing how elite they are
Bounce back? U want to bet??? My god 10 ina row and u still mf thinking they gonna do something 😂😢
@@ljutko7 it has to end sooner then later. This could be a turning point of the series and for the Lakers this season. They have time to recover and play in LA, 2 games they beat themselves like Shaq said , you telling me Nuggets are that good and they trailed 20 pts and like 15 pts in 1st game. If Lakers win game 3 this series is on.
@@jsofianosElite? They were down 15+ pts in the 1st game and 20 pts in game 2 that literally shows how good Lakers are, Lakers are better then Nuggets but Nuggets had more luck. This game 2 win was only because of luck and also Lakers need to figure out how to save energy for the 2nd half because that is where Denver’s strenght is. Lakers can win this series so far Nuggets had luck I hope now it is time for Lakers to be lucky. If Lakers win game 3 its 1-2 and they have a good chance to tie the series in LA If they go 2-2 before Denver it’s game on, they already showed they can play good away from home and that Nuggets crowd is sh*t if were being honest
I like the confidence. Lots of fans, especially for a team like LA with a guy like LB would jump off of the bandwagon by now. I don't agree with you, but I appreciate your loyalty.
Lakers need a real coach. If the game is tied in the fourth quarter and you have the ball with 29 seconds to go on the game and a full game clock as a coach you should always call a time out so that you can get your team on the same page give them direction, confidence, and a play that they are comfortable with, you can’t just let them go out and wing it because that’s when a blunder happens.
I see your point, but at the same time Lebron got a GREAT look. Also, Denver didn't call a timeout and Murray won the game. It's a make or miss league and this comment doesn't exist if Lebron makes it. Couldn't ask for a better look. Sometimes not calling a timeout works out such as Murrays case
He needs to retire.
LeBron is top 3 all time .. this no name coach will not call time if LeBron doesn't approve it, simple. LeBron › Darvin
Darvin Hamburger 🍔 doesn't know how to coach at all he might be the worst coach in sports history SMH
Lebron has been playing for 21 yrs lol. He can’t call a timeout if they really need it? Yall kill me it’s always someone else’s fault if the lakers would have won tho Ham would get no credit absolutely none lol
instead of the media focus on how great the Denver is they will focus on the lebron lakers
Good. Keep it up. It fuels the Nuggets.
those last second sequence were hilarious lmao. bron shoved kcp and did not get a foul call, took his time to shoot an open wide 3 ----------- and still misses. murray shot a well contested jumper over 7 footer AD and got it.
I feel sorry for the Lakers fans, but guys ... The team didn't beat themselves, they lost 10 in a row, today Nuggets are 8-34 from mostly open threes, it's not the defence impact, they just had a not typical for them bad shooting game and they still have won. If they had scored shots with season average percentage they would win by 15 or more. Whereas Lakers had better shooting game than average this season.
The lakers were good defensively , idk what game you watch , they lost on offense , and horrible momentum shifting calls and non calls by the refs
@@jaycee3487 my point - Denver played bad by their standards. Lakers overall played good or average by their standards. If you are a Lakers fan you may be upset by your team, blaim refs or whatever, fine, but it's the 10th and more to come for sure
They also would be tied 1-1 with home court advantage if the refs didn't shave 5 points to Denver in the final minute of the game. Pretending like the refs haven't massively influenced the course of this series is nonsense.
I blame Darvin hot pockets for this, he needed Gabe or Reaves guarding that last play, he's gotta go.
Darvin Hot Pockets 😂
Darvin Hamm sandwich 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
honestly with jamal that hot you have to double and forced him to make the right pass...
Murray still hits the shot or gets fouled.
Y’all finding everything in the books to justify y’all lost
If they lost again to Nuggets . Take Lebron Name out of the GOAT conversation
Disagree. Don't dismiss the fact that this Nuggets team could be a great as the last two dynasties (GS and SA.) I'd take MJ over LB, but he deserves to be in the conversation.
charles' genuine laugh at the beginning was beautiful haha
Respect LeBron for answering questions unlike AD but LBJ cost them that game LML
Free-throw taken differential with Nuggets taking 4 more free throws than the Lakers in game 2 is outrageous.
Ion get how Darvin Ham still doesnt realize you have to use your bigs against Jokic. Have a mixture of AD gaurd him for lil, then Christian Woods, then Hayes. You cant let Jokic get comfortable 🤦🏿♂️
I dont think the lakers can bounce back they all seem frustrated and exhausted at the post conference damn might be brooms 🧹…
That hoodie is 🔥
LeBum gonna cry again after blowout those 20 pts lead...😂😂😂
LeBum took over the 4th at 39 and missed one shot late, meanwhile where was AD??
@@theopencourt7231 AD did start the game 14 for 15, he was the driving force of their 20 point lead.
AD disappeared in the 4rth qrter. 0pts and Lebron missed a shot and Lebron didnt want to guard Murray on the game winner. 😅
@@theopencourt7231 AD was wondering, why is his old ass hogging the ball the whole 4th quarter... Im playing way better, and this old mf'er keeps the ball...
No Shaq, I respect you big homie but you’re wrong . How many teams have you heard of being up that many times and lose every game? The problem is Lebron James, he is a front runner. He took a terrible shot at the end of that game, but it’s comes from a long line of previous terrible shots. As long as this man wears a lakers uniform they, as in the lakers, will always underachieve
Oh ok 👍 and if he makes a nice pass. To a wide open player.why he didn't take the shot
@@Flawless_technique he should’ve gave the ball to AD he was cooking all game. It was a bad shot not because he was open but he didn’t need a three, it was a tied ball game with plenty of time. AD could have easily gotten an and 1 and went up three that way. You need to have more self awareness than that, especially if you keep calling yourself the “so called” goat
I love the big fella so much but he needs to stop the hate and give jokic his credit...jokic will never surpass shaq in my book but the conversation of jokic over shaq is definitely a conversation to be had because how great jokic is playing right now
Every year thats all u hear Lakers fans blame coach they get new coach every season seem like face it LeBron has ran Laker organization into shambles u can tell Clutch sports has control blame LeBron he could took lay up or dunked after KCP fell down instead shot n missed a 3 im use seeing MJ n Kobe making that shot ihs 🤷
of course, entire nuggets team in the pain, but the coudl dunk... we are not in the 90s anymore, illegal defense isn't that anymore.
Damn, gotta admire Murray's fortitude to just keep going after that awful 3 quarters.
2:56 Shaq is saying that if his Lakers would’ve had a lead like that they’d switch gears and play big man ball to maintain that lead. The fact that you can go up 20 on the nuggets means they can *BE* beat but something just ain’t going right on the lakers end and if you can be figured out defensively with that huge of a lead then idk. Sustaining is what Shaq was saying it isn’t hating on Joker. It’s literally saying that they need to FOCUS with the lead. Shaq would put the game out of Reach if up 20x
Bron straight up in his mind knowing full well he's wasting his last few years in the league.
This is the kind of moment real GOATs thrive 😂
SHAK RIGHT THEY BEAT THERE SELF TWICE..STR8 UP..
When you loose 10 straight, it’s not you who beat yourself.
So the Lakers are chronic chokers/losers of 10 straight to the nugs.
Curry and KD not missing that open three
Don’t compare g league to the goat stop it🤣
@@musclemachine8849Goat? That's your goat? Who missed a clutch OPEN three? lmao
KD is 0-1 what are you talking about? and Curry didn't make the playoffs.
Yes curry won't miss the 3 but playoffs??? 😂😂😂😂
Curry I agree, KD not so much.
Like how they didn’t show the part were brons starts complaining about the refs
Down 19 and never out of it.......Denver is on another level.
If the Lakers want to be a truly champion, this heartbreak loss should motivated to do more and finally beat Denver in convincing fashion.
These last two games the Lakers gotta figure out how to get hachimura going. It's the whole key to them winning this series. I mean seriously, 3 points and i think he had zero on Saturday. He was missing dunks, layups, free throws. I mean dam, at one point in 2nd half Denver not even guarding him and started triple teaming and smothering dlo, labron, ad Reaves, like a college swarm defense and Lakers made no adjustment to ofset that. Its really tough playing in Denver because of the attitude. But when they get out to these big leads they need to speed up the tempo not slow down into these half court sets walking the ball up the court. Try and create some fast break points. Use your time outs for rest periods along with the time outs Denver calls. You get up to 20 start running try to push it to 30. Slowing it down just let's joker save him self for the 4th period push. And the Lakers fall into this trap every game with Denver. Its almost like Denver does this on purpose, because they know opponents are gonna be out of gas by the 4th period and down the stretch. You run and push that 20 to 30 or 35. I don't give a crap how good of a team you're playing, they're not coming back to beat you. 15 18 almost all nba teams these days can overcome that with 3 point shooting. 30 35 not a chance.
You cooked bro. And yea as a big fan of rui we HAVE to get him going man
Nuggets have always been a team that falls behind in the 1st half and is clutch in the second
I don’t think Shaq is hating. He’s telling the truth. Jokic is being consistent when the lakers aren’t
0-2. Hopefully Y'all Protect Homecourt. Still Have a Chance To Win .It's not yet 0-4. But The Chances are Slipping Away. Goodluck on Game 3.
The dog at the end shape like Tee grizzly 😂
Did Kenny just say Austin Rivers?
Why didnt he complain when they had 19 FTs vs Denvers 6 FTs in the 1st game? Cry baby.
Gang it’s the exactly the same situation as last year, why would you expect this to be any different
Jokic can CLOSE a game, he was a CLOSER. Shaq was not known as that. 🥶
Kenny said Austin Rivers😅
Jokic is 29 and is already better at every aspect of the game than Shaq. I think the only edge that Shaq MAY have on Jokic is defense, again I said maybe cause Shaq was not a good defender. Shaq knows this which is why we have seen Shaq slowly start to not give Jokic his props. 2 more rings and he unanimously passes Shaq
I thought forsure chuck was gonna say the one constant was it’s Dlos fault
Where Austin now?
They gave the 15 and 20 point leads in both games.
Bro called him Austin Rivers
Adrian to the Lakers "You can't winnn"
Shaq think Jokic was not a factor.. that is why kenny and chuck were there to let him know other points of basketball. They let the viewers know even if shaq said it, it doesn’t means it is right.
For all the MJ haters that bring up the Pistons, did he ever lose to them 10 straight times including a sweep? Even before Scottie No Tippin Pippen?
If lakers win game 3 and 4 , they still have a chance to win the series
😂😂😂😂😂
True!
big IF tho, even if they win that, need to win game 5 at least
If they lose in game 3 or 4 its either a sweep or 5 games. This was the game to win.
It’s a must bro
I love how he complains about the refs. He never complains when they call twice as many fouls for his team. Sweep this fool.
Even sounding like the 🥤 is draining
no bench help / fired hamburger coach
Is it me or are they always calling Austin Reaves Austin Rivers lol
Michael Jordan, Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and the Denver Nuggets are SMOKING on that LeBron James-in-the-GOAT Debate PACK. We (we’re) Smokin’ The NBA 2020s. 🔥 🔥
Denver is a good team so i am not gonna be mad if we lost to them. It'd be interesting next year as this might king's last season with the lakers. Part of me want to move on as i am tired with all the excuses
Lakers had the lead going into the half both games. We will see if they were simply fatigued from playing in Denver. Home court should make a difference
Don't forget the refs. Refs basically handed Denver the game. Clearly Adam Silver making the calls. Wanting those international views. Leborn is getting screwed once again by the NBA. Clutch needs to sue the NBA. It's getting ridiculous now. Such an obvious bias against lebron by the Refs and the NBA.
I’m with Shaq on this one we beat ourselves everytime we’re good enough to beat them the problem is we go on long stretches where we’re not disciplined and make constant mistakes if you do that against a team like Denver you’ll lose every time we beat ourselves we deadass could be up 2-0 going to LA if were a better disciplined team it’s crazy
Listen LeBron is a great player I have no hate for the man but if you watched the game the Lakers were up by 20 when LeBron had 12 points & 10 assists, letting AD go to work, & DLO be aggressive the minute he decided to start going iso ball the Nuggets got all the momentum & came back but LeBron ended up with 26, 8 & 12assists so on paper when you look at the box score it doesn’t look like he was the reason they lost, but at some point ppl need to see what the problem is. LeBron can go stat pad & go iso mode against any other team but it’s not working against the Nuggets…..
Clearly, there's no stat stuffing. Made a terrible mistake and shot too early. Game 3.
Sad thing is, lakers beat nuggets because they had someone to slow Joker down (Dwight). They gotta find another big who can because AD can’t.
The refs made some bad calls - inside the NBA should talk about some favorable calls for the nuggets
Shaq is such a hater lmao. The nuggets turned up the heat and the lakers didn’t have an answer. They’re simply the better team and anyone that has played organized can see it…
You missed a wide open 3 - If Queen James hits the shot the game is over. No MJ
Winning game 3 for lakers will be the turning point
Yes. And winning 4 of the next 5 would win them a series. Also, monkeys may fly out my butt.
When the lakers lose 10 straight to the nuggets, the lakers JUST ARE NOT GOOD! Lebron is old. They are 7 seed. They are supposed to lose this series. The only surprise that people still think they can somehow win the title from the 7 seed with an aged star against much younger and better teams.
Shaq is and will still always be that Center,no mstter ehat numbers may come and go. He would crush jokic prime vs prime
The difference between the game clock n shot clock was 0.05 In year 21 , a player of such experience The king should have done better than trying that 3 n giving Denver more to create thier their game winner. It is sad, Lakers will probably be bm swept again
They may beat mediocre teams with 15 turn overs (70% unforced) and losing the offensive rebounds, but good team will beat you. Discipline wins championship.
You guys call it hate ; Shaq calls it motivation
You gotta make shots lol ESPECIALLY with 24 seconds left in the game and you still toss up a brick every time 😂
What are Spencer Dindiddy and Vincent doing ,no points? come on! Just one bucket would have sufficed
So we not going to talk about the no calls fouls.. ok cool, next game I want to see 3 slaps to face after the shot 🙄
Choke King choked again 😂
I think it all about rebounding. Lakers is lacking size at the center spot. Need someone who can crash the board and outrebound jokic to give them laker those easy second chance shot
Lakers can't stick to a disciplined game plan in the clutch.Denver can.This years Celtics can.See yall in the finals
Should have kept feeding AD 2nd half. Bron chose his stats over W
Not only we have to beat Dever but also the refs
Shaq is 100% correct. Lakers are a better team but nuggets had luck and refeeres help on those 2 challenges omg what was those calls? Obviuos fouls on both LeBron (hand) and Russel (face). No body is talking now when Lakers are robbed and unlucky but if refs helped us or we had luck like in 2020 in game 2 with Davis 3 for example you would be typing all kinds of sh*t. If Lakers manage to save their power for 2nd half they should be good lets get that 1st win and then tie this series. Nuggets are nothing special.
LeBron crying but he literally sold with a wide open three and had a good look for the drive not including the push off he got away with 😂😂😂
Lakers are 0-10 against the Nugs and Shaq says they just need to keep focus lmao. Same dude that talks about “killer instinct”
Nuggets missed heaps of good looks tonight. They shoot closer to their average and lakers are toast.
Lebron more worried about looking good before and after the game
Damn, why Shaq hating😂😂😂
