Maverick Carter & Paul Rivera Talk 'The Shop,' LeBron James Retirement, Jay-Z, Rich Paul +More

[@seaberry11]

This is what friend groups should aspire to be. Pull each other up, build off each other success, ride for each other, and hold each other accountable. When it’s all said and done, Lebron has retired and they move further into the next phase, people will look back this as the greatness it is. Not only has Lebron been the greatest on court, he’s been the greatest off. He’s put all his friends in positions to not only win but, to become their own man outside of him to win. He helped all of his boys from his high school team get into position to win. He built a school to try and help kids from his community get into positions to win. When he retires the hate will go away, and people will finally “WITNESS” the greatness and give this man his proper “GOAT” recognition.

[@kjo2130]

Lebron truly is the goat man. Putting all these brothers on, amazing.

I like how Jess didn’t force herself to act like she knew anything they were talking about when it got deeper about basketball she just asked her few questions & chimed in when needed! Dope episode 🤝

She's funny, but the political stuff or more serious conversations, not so much. Even her perspective on things is very new school thoughts to me. Sometimes I'm like, "WTF."

@31:06 I believe what Charlemagne and Envy are failing to consider when it comes to the G.O.A.T argument when comparing LeBron to Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant is the most significant factor in Jordan and Kobe’s success was PHIL JACKSON. Kobe had to find that out the hard way when Phil departed the Lakers and Rudy Tomjanovich 2003-2004 and Frank Hamblen 2004-2005 took over. During that stint, The Lakers went 34-48 in 2003-2004 and missed the playoffs for the first time in over a decade. Moreover, Kobe did not make the NBA All-Defensive Team and was also demoted to the All-NBA Third Team. COULD YOU IMAGINE HOW MANY RINGS LEBRON JAMES WOULD HAVE IF PHIL JACKSON COACHED HIM FOR HIS ENTIRE CAREER?

[@L.L.TB8]

I agree Lebron is a goat but his point is Steph Beat Lebron so he’s ahead of him I don’t agree but I do see his point.

[@melgoat]

Its because everyone whos been watching basketball long enough knows LeBron has had the league and media hand him everything. He picks his own teammates and still lost 6 championships. Basically LeBron is the silver spoon kid who failed so much but people only want to look at the good parts. People who just started watching only know the good parts of LeBron because of bleacherreport, espn. The LeMedia

[@L.L.TB8]

@melgoat that’s a lot of hate,21 years was handed to him?Living up to the pressure and hype and coming out on the other side unscathed is something being given to him?🤣🤣Guess the world has different perspectives on “silver spoon” I see a guy that wasn’t supposed to make it and turned himself and his team into successful men.

[@melgoat]

@camwilson1032 Here we go with the emotional LeBron fan club with the emotions "you're hating" always trying g to attach emotions to someone who doesn't view their opinion. If I'm hating for criticism what are you for glazing him? Are you sexually attached to him? No you just have an opinion -Handed the league with the decision apart of why his own manager rich paul was mad at it. He didn't have to win to take the league Handed the ROY everyone knows it belong to Carmelo Anthony The ability to trade everybody at the trade deadline and off-season and build superteams and escape criticism.

It’s dangerous to think you are a “good” person because you compare yourself to others. It’s only when you compare yourself to Jesus that you have a humble reality of yourself and you begin to truly work out your own salvation in fear and trembling. Instead of being so quick to point out other peoples mistakes, spirits, flaws…. how do YOU look in the spirit?
