Chris Broussard & Rob Parker - The Pressure of Playing With LeBron is Real

THE ODD COUPLE - Chris Broussard & Rob Parker react to an interview with former NBA player Jame Posey who talked about the pressure of playing alongside LeBron James. Chris notably mentions Kyrie Irving who's talked about that experience and there was a moment when Kevin Love didn't even want to return to Cleveland during his tenure with LeBron.

Effectively what they're describing is the pressure of being on any title contending team. It was the same for the role players on the Jordan Bulls, the Shaq & Kobe Lakers, etc. You knew what you were getting from Jordan and Pippen and Shaq and Kobe every game, it was up to the rest of the supporting cast to step up and if they didn't they got criticism (most of the time it was well deserved).

They turned Kevin Love into a stretch big. Before LeBron, Kevin Love was well on his way to the Hall of Fame. I still remember his 30-30 game. LeBron’s teams are partly responsible for the evolution of the bigman. Both Chris Bosh and Kevin Love were underutilized when they swapped teams to build a big 3. Now, nobody cares for the back to the basket big who gobbles up all the rebounds and blocks shots. They want a guy like Jokic who can pass like a PG or Embiid who can shoot from the perimeter and create. Of course there are still big centers who defend the rim and rebound but they don’t become stars and don’t get paid the big money.

The problem isn’t so much the pressure as much as it is the systems. Players have to sacrifice their games to play with Lebron, yet he sacrifices nothing. In 2018, Jae Crowder, Jordan Clarkson, and Rodney Hood all looked like they forgot how to play basketball. But it wasn’t pressure because Jae Crowder shined in the finals with Miami and he’s playing great on the Suns now. Clarkson is a leading sixth man candidate and Rodney Hood is playing well with the Blazers. So it’s not pressure, it’s the system. Playing with Lebron turns you into a spot up shooter. And if that’s not your game, then you’ll suffer. Also Brandon Ingram too.

Well if Lebron is averaging 30 points in the finals against the Warriors and Kevin Love is averaging 8 who tf should get held accountable or blamed? You'd sound stupid if you blamed the dude averaging 30

[@bajanlife8011]

Rob you said lebron would not win a championship 🙄

[@b.a.lincoln4175]

There are a lot of guys who put up major numbers but don’t impact winning. They don’t make winning plays or take great shots. Kevin Love and Kyrie did not make their teammates better when they lead teams. I don’t understand why people like to put them in the same category of a Chris Bosh. There are levels to Allstars too.

[@sergnyc8720]

Sorry, Kevin Love not a good example. Where he our now and how is he playing?? Didn't Sexton say he agreed with Love robbing Cavs for 121 million? Come on man.

[@jamesguglielmucci1705]

Kevin Love is a Humble dude!! Much Respect to him!!

[@macbenzo1677]

How many CHIPS have they won without LeBron? Players complained how they where treated when they played with MJ. Rob STOP the hate LeBron gets blamed and criticized as well.

[@biggui5696]

Bro I’m from Cleveland & idk where y’all get this Kevin love is to blame stuff if anything we blame Dan Gilbert for never being able to put a good team together

[@sergnyc8720]

You guys don't even mention what guys get paid after playing with LeBron. They would NEVER make that money pre LeBron. K Thompson 5yr 82mil. Delendova 4yr 38mil. K Love 4yr 122 mil. List goes on and on. Rob's list of priorities are 1 feelings 2 Championships 3 Contracts. Lol

[@juicyjay8642]

They know but they don’t want to talk about it because it doesn’t fit their narrative!

[@Mixamaka]

If Kevin Love is always portrayed by the media as the fall guy....does it mean that they are actually blaming everybody BUT Love? Bron and Kyrie haven't played for Cleveland for years now and Love hasn't made the all star team since. He is an undersized big, he should have never lost all that weight. It really affected his game.

[@iamyourgod76]

Here we go! 🤦‍♂️ I guess it was cupcakes playing with Jordan.

[@1212CSmith]

Parker's "it comes with the territory" when talking about LeBron being under pressure should apply to the players around Lebron as well. Chris & Rob pretending that they've never been at a workplace where someone is brought in to elevate the workplace thus is LeBron, and therefore those around him must elevate themselves.

[@15sbx65]

Good Lord Chris let Rob talk

[@totomaxwell8080]

So since Lebum left, so since leflopper left since le crybaby left, THE GREAT KEVIN LOVE , HE HAS BEEN SO GREAT , PLAYING 120 GAMES EVERY YEAR. KEVIN LOVE HAS BEEN SO GREAT , ONLY KD+ GOLDEN STATE HAVE TO STOP HIM. They gave 30M a year contract, SINCE THEN CLEVELAND HAS BEEN SO GREAT .

[@joelbrown5932]

Bron has longevity but in 18 years he has 4 titles and one scoring title he let Iguodala win a finals MVP over him and lost six times in the finals 3rd worst all time and people actually thinks he’s the best other players won more in less time case closed he still doesn’t know how to play off the ball and besides Kyrie and AD every other star points diminish cause he doesn’t help his teammates Love numbers went down cause they made him a jump shooter instead of his post up game under the basket

[@devengli1017]

These guys are actually right KEVIN LOVE didn’t deserve to be a champion.

[@justiningram9286]

Rob Parker has some wild takes. But the one thing you can never say is that he doesn't know basketball. The man has such knowledge of the game and it shows. Him and Broussard are my favorite basketball analysts, I love hearing them talk the game.

[@jb749]

You feel the pressure Rob no way no how

[@Blackenedification]

What I love about Lebron is that he will put role players and teammates under pressure to hit the last shot because he's afraid to fail himself and doesn't have a reliable go to move to score and won't even drive to the basket in case he would have to hit free throws. His fanboys will say "he was doing the right play" by not taking his responsabilities as a leader and best player on the team to finish the job. Hello to Danny Green, George Hill and others with fans shitting on them because Lebron gave them all the pressure. At least Davis save his ass against the Nuggets when he hit the final shot with a few seconds left to play, because unsurprisingly Lebron was nowhere near in the last play, he was just hiding and praying for Davis to rescue him.

[@juicyjay8642]

Let’s see, he hit buzzer beaters against Orlando, Chicago, Indiana, and Toronto in the playoffs(and he won 3 of those 4 series), he went 8 for 8 from the free throw line in a tight Game 7 against the Spurs in 2013, and he hit the game sealing free throw against the Warriors in 2016 after Kyrie nearly turned it over, but the media won’t talk about those games or moments. As for the AD shot, it was great, but the Lakers were already up 1-0, so if he had missed it the series would’ve been tied. No real pressure there! The “problem” with LeBron is that he usually finishes teams off early so there’s no need for a late bucket!

[@eastgate6134]

Would they have this same energy I'dif Udonis was actually on the show?

[@raystroman4473]

Hell no

[@patrickgreen8653]

Isn’t that what Jordan fans say? Jordan has never lost in the post season, and has never missed a clutch shot.

[@Trap323a]

Where did this topic come from? 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏽‍♂️... you can’t play with greatness request a trade 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@vishbegamin]

It’s called the LeGM system. My way or the highway. I think people really forgot how good Dwade was. He won a chip and Finals MVP back in 06 so I think he knows how to win. Kyrie averaged 27 points on great efficiency all around in the 2016 NBA Finals and then tops it the next year averaging 29 points.

[@Dapperdon76]

He cut players, and brought players in that he himself gave the ok for!

[@ToniSadler]

It's funny how people hate on lebron but only compare him to jordan

[@Tonyoung55]

Nope big difference huge difference because LBJ fan based blames the role players for losing and Jordan and Kobe and Shaq took all the blame for losing nobody gave a damn Derek fisher avg 7 PPG a game or Horry could never guard his position.

[@mrj5695]

Rob and Skip are haters

[@cosmicedi]

The title is "The Pressure of Playing with LeBron is Real", as if LeBron is the problem... And Rob loves to act like LeBron complains about always being championship or bust. I have never once heard LeBron complain (in the 15 years it's been a thing). The "others" complain and make statements (like Kyrie and Kevin Love), and then people like Rob and Skip act like LeBron is the one complaining. It never fails.

[@kbeatty5150]

I disagree with Chris, Kevin Love in Minnesota was a walking Double Double. In the Lebron system Love went from low post and mid post player to a corner shooter in the Lebron system because Lebron is a streak shooter he did not have a consistent jump shot!

[@TheNavy1275]

More of a commentary of Kyrie’s game than Lebron in my opinion.

[@astrocade9541]

Bron doesn’t help but the media the one who kills all of Brons teammates. We got ppl out here saying Giannis should beat Brooklyn but then they turned around saying AD wasn’t enough to beat the clippers. Like come on, y’all do this

He doesnt like him

@J you didn't watch those Cavs games. kyrie averaged just as many shots and had just as much time with the ball. And harden isn't the type of cutter that bron was. Harden is a better shooter off the dribble but isn't that much better off the catch and shoot.

[@douglasbryant2556]

Love thrived being the big fish in a little pond playing for the T-Wolves. The team had no expectations and he had no "pressure". Kyrie left Cleveland thinking he should be the "big fish" and he turned into a shrimp in the ocean under the pressure in Boston. "Pressure can burst a pipe or pressure can make a Diamond".

[@projectchantalson831]

It is easy for kyrie to fit in now because he knows himself better. He thought he could lead a team, and came to realization that he is 3rd option.

[@grav9992]

[@LuisoArt123]

Lebron “pressure” its not real... The real factor is that you are barely involved & you barely touch the ball while playing with Lebron!

[@Xtacy22]

Literally everyone touches the ball while playing with Lebron. He’s literally known to pass the ball too much...casual

[@seanflaherty1225]

When lebron went to Cleveland, i actually thought kevin love would be the 2nd option. He was better than kyrie pre lebron so I thought he'd be number 2 and kyrie would be number 3.

[@steelsmoking6816]

That's why you have to have two players with that mindset or your not winning

I'm Tired Of The LeBron Hate. He didn't blame nobody, the media did. & besides he didn't have anybody for most of those trips to the finals. He did take some crappy teams kicking & screaming to the damn finals. Stop trying to minimize LeBron James!! Yall look stupid. Another topic PLEASE!! The NFL has free agents moving around ok New teams how boat that.

[@aaronhampton3141]

Lebron lead his team in DAMN THERE EVERYTHING in the Playoffs/ Finals!!!! Can you pls knock down open shots? Is that too much to ask for??? Lebron gets ppl the most wide open shots consistently and when they miss who else are we to blame but the shooter???? Kevin Love had his moments tho. The Air is Thin at the Top and some dudes can't handle the pressure! Love was good but I think it's clear he wasn't Ready for that pressure every year. Some dudes happy with 1 ring and Lebron wants to win EVERY YEAR. Mad Respect to Kevin Love But it is what it is. JUST MY OPINION 🤷
