I love how he handles the Mewtwo question. It's so professional, and that's why it's so funny to me.

The Mewtwo bit is genuinely so good. I love when he looks at the abilities and is like "calm under pressure, ok" actually just brilliant content

[@stumble_leiner]

The best bit is how he says "psychic, yeahhh..." just after that, like it's another tick box

Bro mewtwo would cook lebron. Hold him in place with his telekinesis and he could just slow drop shots mentally all day. Lmaoooo 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@pkmsd8291]

Wouldn't holding him in place be an offensive foul?

[@nahor88]

@@pkmsd8291 It would. Mewtwo basically couldn't use any of his abilities w/o it being a foul. LeBron smokes him, seeing as Mewtwo doesn't play basketball...

[@adammwakikoti2759]

Thas a travel 100% Jumping up and landing with the ball in your hands is a travel. Throwing to yourself is a self pass. Mewtwo can't use teleport without traveling on offense. Now defensively, Mewtwo could use teleport without a violation.

He could throw it off the backboard and avoid travels

[@mrrickstur]

If Mewtwo had a jersey number, it would be 151 lol

[@adammwakikoti2759]

I think you gotta call "no tail steals on Mewtwo. That's like a kick ball. Also no telekinesis shots. Using Psybeam is a flagrant 2. Teleport is a travel... We can all be sure that he'll use recover at halftime. I like Bron, but gotta take Mewtwo on this one.

[@MountaineerChemist10]

MewTwo vs. LeBron 😂😂bring more PokeMon vs. NBA matchups!

[@KryselITG]

Pressure - would reduce the amount of shots Lebron could take before tiring out. Unnerve - Lebron would be too scared to replenish his electrolytes during halftime. Mewtwo would definitely have to train his normal mobility though as he's mostly seen floating and flying for commuting, which would drlefinitely count as either traveling or flat out having an unnatural advantage. His Psychic nature is more for telekinesis, though - not every Psychic Pokémon uses their powers to read into the future or read minds. In his own Mewtwo would prob be OU, but on a team he is definitely in Ubers. The amount of support he would give his teammates would be almost unmatched, especially if he was trained to use Helping Hand. Id say 1v1, the greats would be able to hang with him. The only hard counter would probably Zoroark due to its Dark typing and shapeshifting ability. It could easily take the form of whatever superstar Mewtwo has had the most trouble against.

[@incognitomode2208]

man before i dont care what you say about this and that but this segment about Mewto and other tweets, man Im lovin yow show mr Smith 😍

[@petitiontotext911inyourarea]

Disagree on Brunson. So hes saying healthy? That’s not an answer

[@ultrafly100]

It’s funny ‘cause Mewtwo would demolish Lebron at basketball - telekinesis is already too much for any human to deal with, and that’s not even accounting for the fact that Mewtwo can also fly, control minds, and teleport.

[@user-ii7xc1ry3x]

The only thing I know about basketball is that the ball is round, but I started watching this guy's videos because of them Pokemon tweets analysis with the serious tone and mispronounced names 💀

[@sush139]

The questions...who picks them ??

[@EricLaw-yb4ox]

This is hilarious

[@TheTsunaru]

Solid train of logic given limited information. That said, Mewtwo straight up destroys LeBron. Can teleport to block shots, use telekenesis for ball control leaving zero tells, can fly with a solid 130 base speed. It would be a blowout.
