10 NBA Legends Share Their Biggest Regret

[@HeftyLefty1873]

Gotta love YoungGala hitting us with these nostalgia bombs during the dog days of summer. 🙌 keep making these great videos my guy

[@hollywood_sadness]

Agreed! This a cool/ interesting topic for a video.

[@Midragor]

Amazing video man

[@Epicentr]

Those were all some REAL responses, so very honest. I'd never seen the one from Zeke before so that was huge. Jordan, I think, was both true but still at arm's length. He's probably had so many disappointments in himself but changed them. LeBron, if you ask me, is LOSING his humility and honesty. Thanks again for a great video, YG. 🎉

Let's be honest man. Humility or no humility, people are still going to hate the man.

[@hdp5784]

With MJ answer you can see the difference

[@chukwunonyeanyakoha8573]

The ultimate Positivist. MJ's answer shows the difference; his attitude and mentality are just up there...

Siiiigh... Ya know. I don't like LeBron. I used to like him. Then I became very indifferent and resentful of him with THE DECISION, like many others, I mean let's be real. But as the years keep going and this man's actions and basically just way he presents himself, especially when the going is tough, has really turned me against him and what his legacy will be. He doesn't realize how much he's hurting himself and an absolutely ungodly, INCREDIBLE career.... watching him smoothly and crisply GLIDE across that court, it's like motion art. When he REALLY turns it on, ya know,,the proverbial "eye of the tiger," I don't knlw about anyone else,,but I can't help but think "this boy was PUT ON THIS PLANET to play basketball, and play it on a level where he legit looks like an OP video game creation, in action." Yeah, his shot is shaky, he makes mistakes, but look at his highlight reel--- it's like he's in the Matrix; tjere isn't a wasted movement, or jittery, weird looking action... the kid was built for ball... But what's My point? It's EXACTLY his part in this video... u have LEGENDARY, LITERALLY "all time" greats--- meaning another 75 years from now, these players will be remembered or brought up, etc... and u see them unzipping themselves and talking about real, specific, detailed, human, relatable, REGRETS. I can say "I regret losing my high school frosh championship game," all day.... ok, and? EVERY game, every sport, has 2 undeniable inevitabilities: A winner A loser Anyone who doesn't hate to lose shouldn't play. So OF COURSE EVERY GODDAMN ATHLETE and COMPETITOR is going to "regret" losing a game, losing a chip---- but WHAT ABOUT THAT LOSS do u mean? Perfect example, right off the bat: Chuck regrets not going 110mph with 110% effort, using his all time talents to DRIVE his team to an out the gate, series driving victory... Isaiah regrets letting emotions drive him to an immature, unsportsmanlike action of no handshake, walking off the court, the repercussions of which may have been the main factor leaving him off the greatest team ever assembled in any sport; a team, like I mentioned, that is so "all time," that you'll see documentaries made about them 50+ years from now. Rodman, emotions let him say something so halfwitted that he, HE, DENNIS RODMAN, of ALLLL PEOPLE, are embarrassed by it lol...I repeat, DENNIS RODMAN IS STILL EMBARRASSED SOME 30 YEARS LATER.... Yet here come Lebron, and I instantly think, "Ok young man, I don't know what year this is, but I am so interested in what you're gonna say that I HOPE it helps me dislike you LESS, as you expose the kind of man you are..." ........ ...... ... "I regret losing a 17 point lead in game 2," and even though it was praise, the only name you heard was DWAYNE WADE, before he finally spit out Dirk's name, whom we all know was the human dagger to Miami's heart that game... WHAT ABOUT THAT GAME, LEBRON?? WAS THAT THE MOMENT WHERE YOU REALIZED THAT STATISTICALLY YOU WERE DESTINED TO BE THE 5TH BEST PLAYER IN THAT CHAMPIONSHIP LOSS, WHERE YOU WERE OUTPLAYED BY FRIGGIN 5'6" JASON TERRY, A 6TH MAN, & YOU DID HISTORY'S BEST HARRY HOUDINI IMPRESSION WHERE YOU VANISHED IN EVERY 4TH QUARTER??? See THIS is why people DESPISE him right now, as of late July 2024.... because time and time and time again, when he can open up, and expose a piece of his heart and his flaws and his regrets, to the tens of millions of NBA fans, so as to endear himself to us all, he either goes so vague that he sounds robotic, or he simply blames everyone else but himself. He didn't do that here, i.e. blame others... but when he had a chance to show that he's not an egotistical, infallible, narcissist, he says, "I hate that we lost." Yeah, no shyt. Again, we all hate to lose, and if not, get out of competitive sports. Donate to charity the rest of your contract that is paying u 50 more mil ur billionaire buttocks doesn't "need" and leave the world of competition. And then he has the audacity to say that was a learning moment lol... Oh yeah? How so? Cuz last I checked, not only does NO game 2 EVER decides a series,,but you had 3 more chances to "learn" from that loss and win it all, and yet you scored 11 points in all the 4th quarters combined, or some INSANELY pedestrian number I know no one will read alllll this, but I felt compelled to THOROUGHLY explain why I'm saying what I'm saying about him, and WHY I was at best, a respectful admirer of him once....and now, I just don't like the kid. He really is what you DONT want to teach your kid to be if they're going to make a life for themselves in pro sports

[@alphawhiskeymc]

I read all of your comment. I still like Lebron, but I thought your comment was compelling. Maybe when more years have passed and Lebron is no longer an active competitor he’ll see the arc of his life differently and be able to reflect more fully on his regrets. The answer he gave was, I agree, wooden, impersonal, and phoned in like a player giving a postgame interview; maybe he’s still too close to the game?

[@masterrserch3971]

@alphawhiskeymc I agree, but I think years from people will soften up and articulate better what we probably all wanted to see from him--- to be great via a diff path. No one liked THE DECISION, but leaving is his right. Woulda been better for him to stay loke psst greats, but that moment was terrible... Then if he would've just used his GODLY athleticism, and did the proverbial "head down, play full 48, forget the refs, 110% every night, no excuses" (even when the world knows this or that game was lost not cuz of you), and more and more will appreciate and feel a level of awe in his career... He's been too marred in whining, too many lapses in D, flopping, ref obsession, and excuse making for him to not have to deal with peeps knocking him down for a good decade or so after he retires. Shit, just start over without the ref stuf, flopping, and excuses, keep ALL his "team hopping/all star recruiting," and you'd probably double his fans cuz u can easily say that's his intelligence knowing how to build a winning team, and him doing all he can OFF THE COURT as well to satisfy his desire to win...right or wrong? I watched ONE video on him and his unmentiined basketball IQ the last 5 years, MANY clips of him telling his defenders where they're supposed to be andbwhat to do cuz he knows thw opposing trams play before they do lol.... again, Lotta stuff hja own making masks that. And thank u fornresding My giant essay lol I guess I should copy and cut those rants and just turn em into KZbin vids myself instead huh 🤷‍♂️🤣🤣

[@nikkonreinold9821]

and here i thought lbj was regretting his hairline only

[@reoscorpio]

to me what stood out the most was Isiah crying about not being on the Dream team.. I GET IT, i do.. But i never thought ANY professional athletes should be competing in the Olympics .. that's a place that was set up for amateurs to get their glory.. Players who are making crazy millions, nah.. they already have the NBA finals.. and Championship rings. When the Olympics told Manny Pacquiao, he couldn't compete.. i thought GREAT.!!! What does an 8 division legend need to be competing on a platform made for amateur league fighters for.. They're on the their way to the Hall of fame.. why do they need to get an Olympic Medal for at the end of their careers.. Like DOESN'T LEBRON ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH.?? Also, my dude Stef.. they're legends. Let the have nots get some
