If Lebron won his Knicks a title, this guy wouldn't be saying shit 😂.

[@D4KIDSH0RT]

Facts!

[@jacksingleton5531]

Lebron could not win a Title in New York --- the Knicks are Hopeless......

[@tonystank2027]

he would still hate him cause lebron wouldn't win with the Knicks 😊

[@claudelogwood]

you are a 100% right.

[@Messvayne]

Exactly

[@kid100music3]

Rapaport: why does everywhere Lebron goes there's fireworks? Me: ... Because he's the best player in the world..

[@WCIV-rw5js]

"Hello, may I speak with steph please?" "Sure, dial 73-9" "I did. There was no ring...."

[@joedraw9192]

Wow, so original

[@doffical4282]

classic, gotta repost!!!

[@wolf2109]

he has a ring tho..so you should've wrote..it rang once then no answer

[@doffical4282]

David Ross naw bitch!!!

[@seraphoftheendyt1432]

+Derrick Webster calm down bitch tell him to win it again next year

[@Pagneonpluto]

As a Knicks fan I'm sorry you guys had to listen to him

[@ZeitGeist_TV]

I'm a diehard Knicks fan for life but to hate on another player is ridiculous. He's to old for this. I'm 30 and give credit to other teams and players. #KnicksNation

[@Katunar_shqiptar]

+Michael Simmons u want a cookie?

[@ZeitGeist_TV]

Meto Dzaferovic Do I want a cookie? Are you in elementary school? I haven't heard that in decades.

[@Katunar_shqiptar]

Michael Simmons chocolate chip or oreo deluxe?

[@megaman468]

+Meto Dzaferovic I'll take chocolate chips with 2%milk

[@DaemonPix]

Do people really still have an issue with Lebron leaving for Miami? That was 6 years ago, time to grow up and move on Michael Rapaport.

[@TheDefenseIsUpNext]

Any reason to hate on LeBron.

[@DJRAKKK]

lebron blocked his own blessings nobody knew if he was gonna leave so for three years nobody major would come to Cleveland.

[@kbdemonbain]

idk anyone personally who is still mad he left cleveland, but i know many including my self who still think it was a douche thing HOW he did it. the fact the cavs organization didn't find out till he said it on tv like the rest of the world that's the only thing i didn't like about it, he was a free agent he had every right to go where ever he wanted, yeah it sucked he didn't win in cleveland after being favorites to win the title 2-3 straight years with the best record in the league,everyone picking him to win but lost but that's the way the dice fall sometimes

[@kileerr1533]

bro if u had the chance to make as much money as he did from that shit you would do it to, its called being smart.

[@nonameninja9880]

Not only that 1 do u blame him 2. He came back 3. He won a championship

[@thebrazydiamond4791]

Lebron Haters Don't even have an argument

[@jimmicrackhead12]

not as gud as jordans

[@dxburner222]

LeBron haters are the worst. Lol.

[@goldenstateswarriorsbandwa4842]

Mike rap just mad cuz lebron didn't go the Knicks that's why he loves to hate lmao

[@cyber6sapien]

The NBA is scripted. That's my argument.

[@thebrazydiamond4791]

cyber6sapien 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@5uckk]

Kerr got out coached by Lebron

[@sean24833]

lmao good one

[@Johnny55wwe]

LMAOOO

[@dodger1214]

Yes he did. Why was Curry on the bench to start the 4th quarter? It's Game 7 of the Finals in your building and your unanimous MVP is on the bench to start the 4th? Simply don't understand that. Kerr was coaching like it was a regular season game.

[@alexchilled]

He never did

[@rockfreek11]

I hate lebron haters. after this nba finals lebron deserves nothing but respect for the rest of the nba lifetime

[@G.G14]

He hates LeBron because he didn't go to the Knicks lol

[@stayfly68]

Who tf wants to play for the Knicks lmao.....

[@stayfly68]

+Agnes Rodriguez-Price lol yea that guy should have never went there. He should have joined lebron a long time ago lol

[@godsartist_33]

Right

[@tomsmith4452]

He is goin to the Knicks now :)

[@jaegerjackz]

Did you just say Bron's going to the Knicks?

[@MrrMuyaagi]

Looks like Brian Scalabrines and Larry Birds love child

[@DJRAKKK]

Scalabrinie is Larry bird and Rappaports love child. Rapps old as fuck. Scalabrine is a kid still.

[@suburbansage]

HAHAHAHA win

[@MrrMuyaagi]

JT Hunter Does Kevin Hart and Lebron James look the same?

[@MrrMuyaagi]

JT Hunter Good observation, I agree

[@Bartendercolea]

+MrrMuyaagi add in the robber from Home Alone

[@trumetalheadonmauiey9715]

Also for those of you keeping score, LeBron 3, Carmelo 0.

[@mrsain19]

i like Melo. Great player......but i told sooooooo many ppl FROM THE JUMP.......that Lebron was going to have the better career by far. and no one was trying to hear me on it.

[@nathanmulchandani2869]

D if Melo got drafted by Detroit... things wouldve gotten crazy

[@aiman.21]

@@nathanmulchandani2869 if Lebron was drafted anywhere things would be significantly different. I dont wanna hear it.

[@joek1989]

@Bryant 88 4Year old comment bro

[@atsatsats111]

It's beyond me how one can hate Lebron at this point. Just enjoy the greatness.

[@Ph3nom1998]

You must be new on this world..People hate on Jordan even on Muhammad Ali...

[@80teg]

Most of us aren't great at anything, but that doesn't stop some morons from having appreciation for it when they see it.

[@kamjohn9112]

Ph3nom1998 i think people like to see the greatest players/athletes fail its sickening 👎🏼....lebron in my opinion is the greatest of all time hes been through so much hate its ridiculous 💯

[@panthergod]

Kam John all time..😂😂

[@Godhorus]

Haha. You're funny.

[@vidpetelin3747]

Why doesn't Joy get to talk and why is the studio set up so stupidly? It's like Colin's the judge, the guest is the defendant and Joy the typewriter chick.

[@bryant888]

GeniusImmortal my exact thought about this comment "what"???

[@excelboy5402]

I think Michael Rapaport's just a hater. And people who didnt want Steph to win are also haters, stop hating people just respect the greatness. If you dont like how lebron james or steph curry play basketball you dont like basketball. Same thing with cristiano ronaldo and messi in soccer, if you love this sport just thank god youre seeing these guys face off in the first place

[@excelboy5402]

p.s. GS lost because of Steve Kerr, plain and simple he just didnt make the necessary adjustments and Steph wasnt playing like a PG and passing it to Draymond and Klay when they were hot.

[@excelboy5402]

p.s. p.s. i didnt notice it said he was a professional "lebron hater", get a real job

[@excelboy5402]

p.s. p.s. p.s. not rigged, refs are just dumbasses

[@excelboy5402]

ok ok NBA's pretty sketchy #JordanwasSuspended

[@dolphinfootball22]

Mike Rappaport makes all Knicks fans look bad. He's the worst.

[@tariqbrown6406]

he has an unreasonable hate for lebron. it literally pisses me off and he's annoying as shit lol

[@Ldale11]

He's an idiot. Ever notice how he plays the same asshole character in everything he's in, tv or movie? That's cuz it's all he can be, himself.

[@str8frmthacr8]

I'm not a knicks or cavs fan, but that whole "everybody gets 2 teams" shit drives me fuckin nuts. Do or a die, I'm a celtics fan. No hate for lebron from me. The cavs earned that title, congrats to them. They played their damn hearts out. Showed killer instinct and got the job done. Simple as that.

[@Ghost_of_Reason]

+Zeke Lopez Couldn't have said it better!

[@mexicofellow]

why do people hate LeBron ?

[@adambarett8629]

If Lebron James came to New York and there was fireworks Michael wouldn't say shit

[@totomaxwell8080]

lebron better than mj i agree

[@goat1065]

Were you dropped on your head as a child?

[@kamjohn9112]

toto maxwell lebron is better than MJ overall...people hyped up MJ to the point where its sickening 🤕 hes not GOD and never will be.....LEBRON is better than jordan but people will never admit it because they been told no one can ever touch this man...jordan got blocked, traveled and bricked shots too...it comes with the game...LEGOAT!!!!!

[@Ryan8583]

Rapaport is so much better on the bill Simmons podcast when he's uncensored

[@ROUBA33]

True Romance! One of my fav movies. Clarence and Bama forever

[@trumetalheadonmauiey9715]

Oh brother! Yo Rappy! instead of throwing all the shade on LeBron, how about turning some of that fanboy angst on the Knicks, the Jets, Giants, and the Brooklyn Nets, put some of that piss and vinegar towards Phil Jackson, Melo, or Ryan Fitzpatrick to get his butt back in a Jets uniform

[@quoniebandz9074]

Exactly

[@Frederick0220]

"I've been in this hellhole (Los Mangeles) since 1989." Well said, Michael!

[@RASTAGOOB]

oh yes he is

[@devantethompson259]

Major L

[@youngkobrah6692]

kobe better

[@christopherporter3477]

Please. He gave up that chance when he disappeared against Boston in 2010, ran from the ball against Dallas in 2011, and was ineffective against San Antonio in 2014.

when is the last time Rappaport did a movie?

not since he played the racist messenger on Next Friday

[@russell9411]

lebron easily better then mj hands down. besides 6/6 u have no other reasoning lmao im d.wade and kobe fan too

[@sjmmty]

Oh wow I never new lebron beat Michael in all of Michaels records I can't believe lebron has 6 rings 5 seasons mvp 6 playoffs mvp and 1 defensive player of the year including 1995-1996 never having 3 losses in a row

[@russell9411]

marlonious76 mj didnt even let him and pippen be a real "duo" cuz mj was shootin endless.

[@russell9411]

SJM MTY that shit is trash he beat old 91 lakers team who was on verge of doin shit the next 8-9 years, beat clyde drexler and cliff robinson, beat pat ewing and role players like u need get real mj faced trash in playoffs bruh lls get real. Mj aint face shit like spurs "dynasty" 3 times in finals, russ kd and harden, and faced warriors team won 73-9 and came back down 3-1, mj was 1-9 in playoffs before pippen, lebron 22 years old nba finals

[@sjmmty]

Ballin Too​ Patrick Ewing averaging 38.6 ppg Clyde 17.6 point but 6 rebounds per game Charles barkley 40.3 points per game kar malone 25 ppg and 10.1 rebounds magic 22.5 points per game and 12.8 assists and to play against all that is a bit hard especially to make sure they never get a ring

[@mmlocal7842]

+SJM MTY lebron is a pussy and wouldn't be able to handle basketball in the 90s

[@wheresmyribs]

2016 Joy hits different tbh

[@grady187]

The best part of Cleveland winning this ring is that as a Cavs fan I can now just laugh along with this.

[@dwightturner2642]

Oh another lebron hater

[@Jsperal]

can anyone tell me the name of the shoes please

[@gregharper6382]

How hilarious that he in fact did move and just won ANOTHER championship!🤣🤣🤣

[@kencoakley3959]

I was glad that the Cavs won. Cleveland has suffered long enough and deserved a world title.

[@herbertbang6463]

I am a knicks fan, but not as salty as this dude my gosh and JR got a ring so he can do whatever the hell wants!

[@CroBer09]

I love watching this in 2017. Cowherd take 4-1!

can someone tell me which lebrons hes wearing

[@mauropedrosa7317]

One of my favorite people. The Gringo Mandingo

[@yad2917]

I love this guy! lol

[@kidfromnyc2353]

Person feelings, that's all, nothing factual. That's all Lebron haters bring into a debate, feelings.

[@traestyles25]

lmao ths guy is crazy haha hes one of my fav actors

[@dummyproduction]

Wait, where's Rapaport from?

[@jamezg.565]

Fast forward 2020 - He got Lakers 17th title to tie Boston. Good move

[@Whizkidsoo]

I just love how he trolls him

[@rjl3743]

at 3:45, bro, if Kyrie and Kevin were not hurt, 2015 championship would not be GS

[@thepisceanlion4171]

Idk why but when I saw his face I expected his voice to sound like Will Pharrell

[@WildL23]

As a Cleveland fan I am very comfortable with Steve Kerr coaching Golden State. I hope GS keeps Kerr.

[@jacobonline3247]

whay shoes is he wearing ima cop those

[@ramirezlalo91]

I love Michael! I'm glad he speaks his mind hut olase don't turn him into skip

[@sethsmietana7733]

The thing is Steph did not play as good as he could play and Lebron played as good as he could play.

[@michaeltoth8186]

curry played as good as he could play he shoots threes thats it

[@BrotherlyLove12]

you really think he didn't play as good as he can in the finals. he was exposed.

[@justinsoutherland7691]

+BrotherlyLove12 y'all delusional. Curry played through the entire playoff injured and still averaged 22pts a game while being in foul trouble. People just a year ago were calling their tile a fraud because Cleveland was hurt, but Cleveland beats a golden state teM with suspensions and. the loss of their only center basically and crown the the best. GSW are still the best team in the NBA when fully healthy.

[@BrotherlyLove12]

+Justin Southerland lol everybody saying steph is hurt except him. I'll take his word for it. I bet you weren't saying he was hurt in game 4 when he dropped 38.

[@BrotherlyLove12]

+BrotherlyLove12 and only 1 person was suspended but it didn't matter anyway. they still lost games with draymond playing. they just couldn't finish the job. congrats on 73 wins tho.

[@TheZozo1512]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS GUY

[@zockey99]

everyones talking about KD being a free agent but so is lebron and he has stated that he wanted to play with melo, cp3,wade before he retires after winning a ring for cavs(which he already did) and derrick rose just got traded to knicks.........melo+prozingis+rose+ lebron?? holy words can't describe how much nba's landscape would change

[@deep0house]

Czechoslovakia doesnt exist for how many years?

[@montoyastevenjsm31]

Michael Rapaport used to be on friends that's so funny

[@osideno3]

i thought he was Brian Scalabrine the whole time...

[@davidklotzberger511]

3 more championships to GO!!

[@jhazemusic]

all these warrior fans claiming they lost because the league is rigged. well, was it rigged for the warriors to win last year? funny how i never heard any of them saying that. they just cant understand the fact that they lost, they were sold all year on the idea that this was the greatest team we have ever seen and it turned out to be a lie. i am as surprised as every one else that they lost, but it was because they were not good enough this time. accept it and move on, or else stop watching the game. why would you want to invest time in watching a sport that is fixed? thats what pro wrestling is for

[@armin38822]

My god these people don't know anything about basketball.

[@haydenallen23]

whats wrong with milwaukee =(

[@mobeezy81]

damn he has no valid point to hate on LeBron.. this is a business, players are allowed to do whatever they want just like the owners and commissioner do whatever they want. End of conversation.

[@mrsain19]

love that Lebron and the Cavs brought a title to Cleveland. But those Cavs fans that turned on him when he left for Miami......need to all have their fan passes permanently revoked. He is a grown man, he can do what he wants. They should be grateful that he came back. Gilbert especially!

[@expeditosergio8090]

Special angent Don Self hataing on the king..

Michael Rapaport and Skip Bayless would have a field day together

What is going on with Colin's face at 10:41

[@flipnlu]

The change was when Luke announced he was going to the lakers. Should of waited until the end of the season.

[@Aaron-ie1ep]

what letter?

[@modrozelenaalga9607]

Don Self, national security

[@jonathantorres1243]

You're right Colin. Kerr got out coached by billy and Tyron

[@iamwill8]

Both of these guys are so entertaining! Love it!!!

[@mrminividz]

i know, its very entertaining.

[@superdopehiphop]

Blaming the suspension is laughable! Warriors were still big favorites to win every game after up 3-1

[@kalekki12]

Czechoslovakia lmao

[@MatthewMoscotto]

Cheers to JR. He finally played well in a playoff series where it actually counted. He was a terrible knick however and he is still not a player you can hand the keys to. I think JR Shumpert and Love will be traded though for marginal upgrades to be able to handle a Golden State team at Full Power.

[@Spvcely]

" I wanna take Lebron down " people love to hate lmao

[@ivandavis2541]

Everyone is not going suck him off. That doesn't mean that they're haters.

there is no czechoslovakia anymore...11:13

[@mistertibbs1105]

MLB: Kansas City Royals NBA: Cleveland Cavaliers NHL: Pittsburgh Penguins NFL: Denver Broncos Small Markets are doing it the right way. These entitled big market cities with their crappy sports teams are not going to win unless they remove this mindset that just because they are NY, LA, Chicago, etc. That they deserve have titles given to them.

This is one trade I'd like to see vetoed.

Wtf this is the guy from prison break lol

[@zachbell8252]

man he's funny but he says he's embarrassed to live in LA, was born in NYC loves the Knicks yet loves the Warriors too?? c'mon man can't have it both ways.

[@dopeclassic3346]

people are stupid. this man can move and like whoever tf he wants. this man gets ridiculous hate and doesn't deserve it. I never liked Kobe but I at least have enough respect for the NBA and game of basketball to call him one of the best to touch the court.

[@spaceghostp6672]

I don't understand why people are saying LeBron would leave. Why would he do all of that again lmao?

[@vanishing_girl]

Cleveland made adjustments in game 5 and the Warriors never answered after that Cleveland just outplayed them and Kerr didn't know what to do

Czechoslovakia? It´s been Czech republic and Slovakia since 1993, dummy.

[@soulsimplistic]

damn Ghostbusters trailer ruined this video for me

[@prrvrrt]

Not much a fan but I respect greatness. Lebron and the Cavs deserved that trophy down, back against the wall, 2 of 3 on the road, and dug in deep and got it done. That was championship play,

[@frankjum]

No one ever mentions that Draymond backhanded LBJ on that play which led to the whole thing blowing up in the first place. LBJ definitely shouldn't have stepped over him, but he was pissed off because he got backhanded and then Draymond flopped and a frustrated LBJ stepped over him surely thinking "if you're going to hit me and then flop I'll step over your azz."

[@ShareefusMaximus]

Andrew Bogut is the top defensive +/- player in the league. and Draymond is like 3 or 4. in the whole NBA! Not having them both on the court turns GS into the old Suns. Their normal rotations were disrupted. LeBron is too good to have bullets missing from the clip.

[@JazDanz]

All this noise about Cavs taking it. But in 2015 when the Dubs won it (Cavs w/out Kyrie & Love), where were the critics then? Why wasn't Draymond suspended in the OKC series? Dubs were over in the Western Conf Finals. Take it and move the F on!
