How much of an impact does LeBron make on today’s culture?

[@dennisdesmornes2655]

I love Marcellus; respectfully so

[@pretidre]

J Prince told Drake not to respond, LBJ

[@devinirving1503]

Speak For Yourself I like the convo y’all had best sports convo I heard on tv in a while & fuks wit Stack cus he TOO real lol ✊🏿

[@VirantRoss]

Speak For Yourself Keep Stephen Jacksoff RACIST BEHIND OFF THIS SHOW! I REFUSE TO WATCH A WHITE HATER like him!

[@frankmatthews6966]

He is the culture.. hes shaped it since he got in the league

[@MatthewSmith-lr8bm]

I honestly think Iverson had that kind of impact within black culture and community........the only difference is Lebron is able to crossover into the mainstream.

[@AcerbicOrder]

The difference is social media/internet and AI didn't play the corporate game. Iverson is the reason NBA changed the dress code and why players wear shooting sleeves/tights. He's also the reason a young kid from Europe Porzingzi had cornrows along with people all over the world. He had much more natural influence on and off the court.

[@madmikesports]

Absolute truth

[@MatthewSmith-lr8bm]

@Jihad Da God who sold out?

[@yungchris93]

Matthew Smith Iverson opened the door

[@blackviking2079]

After Iverson everybody started wearing cornrows and doorags

[@spjunior11]

would love to see whitlock talking to stephen jackson today

[@deepvoice4195]

Jack would love for him to say anybody bad about his brother

[@Daryl524]

I'd like to see a discussion on Whitlock's influence on the local restaurant economy, particularly buffet restaurants.

[@G_Rated]

Daryl524 Lmfaooooo

[@carlcasey8766]

Lol

[@ciearlrichardson3132]

🍔 BURGER KING: MAY I TAKE YOUR ORDER??? WHITLOCK: OK..JUST GIMME EVERY THG ON THE MENU WITH EXTRA BEEF ON LEBRON..😂😂😅😅🤣 BK: WERE OUT OF BURGERS WHITLOCK: NO.NO.NO.NO.NO😂😂🤣🤣😅😅

[@kennyray4458]

Did I hear those nuts say that Michael Jordan was leader in African American culture, MJ never been considered a leader in our culture...no sir never been a voice....I would even consider Magic Johnson as a cultural leader in America I totally agree with Jackson

[@chaunceyjr9856]

2:33 the way Jason looking at Jones 😭😭

[@bleachcool1465]

Chauncey Edwards he is a terrible sports analyst

[@blackviking2079]

Reminds me of that scene with Chris tucker and Faizon in jail

[@dennisdesmornes2655]

Whitlock lost, period.

[@otownboy8749]

They all lost..

[@mahmoodrezavaziri9625]

whitlock always loses. plus he is annoying af. danthay made the most sense

[@NaCream]

Jason sounds disconnected

[@ceesKe12]

Whitlock is so out of touch lol

[@jaminhodges3123]

He's uncle ruckus in the flesh

[@eddiesennie1139]

I think he is lost about who he is and who andwhere he actually comes from( our ancestral tree

[@pohthug202]

Stak ALWAYS keep it a 💯 Millions is millions, 🛑 countin that mans pockets.😂

[@mixsignal91]

Nah he actually sounded like an idiot. Millions is not millions. Here tries to hard to keep it real sometimes. Lil baby ain't LeBron level just because he made a million dollars

[@pohthug202]

mixsignal91 If U listen 2 wat he said U wud understand.🤔Bn as tho U dnt , heres sum clarity by wat he mean. Coming frm NOTHING n getn millions. Ima Millionaire.🏋🏾‍♂️ Fym🤫Meaning Millions.🏋🏾‍♂️2nd 🛑 pocket 👀. Men dnt do that. @Stak5 keep it 💯

[@gregorylagrange]

Wouldn't call him an idiot, but concerning music business, millions is not millions. Even though you have more people self producing, you still have to be in the music business for a while to make the kind of money people think you're making when you put out a hot album. That part hasn't changed.

[@Mektek19]

Lol they had to permanently bring in Marcellus yo save this show.

[@rotoninja]

Is that a bad thing?

[@drenewman4851]

Seriously glad they did. Whitlock is completely lost

[@fuddyduddie1205]

Mektek19 he and Christine have great chemistry. MW works well with all the ladies and he’s energetic when others take things too seriously.

[@hardstyle8184]

Mektek19 Jason Whitlock NEEDS TO GO! The dude is a overweight loudmouth who thinks he knows EVERYTHING. I’m stunned I even clicked on this segment. He belongs on FOX NEWS and nowhere near anything sports related. He’d be better suited for straight up FOX NEWS as their UNCLE TOM. Straight up! #FIRE #JasonWhitlock

[@Siale85]

Nah Mar-sell-out Wiley close second behind his big brother fat fedora head donkey of the ages Whitlock!

[@Ddoughd]

It’s like Whitlock doesn’t even try and disguise his hate for Lebron 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@tahrielove4322]

Stephen Jackson the GOAT 😂😂

[@midnighttrucker19]

@1cent People like Tahrie LOVE Stephen Jackson

[@jamalbenjamin5879]

Stephen is right. There has never been one person to influence African American culture. Nor has there ever been just one person who is the face of the Culture. I dont even know if Lebron James has the most popular sneaker in the African American community. Whitlock is clearly showing his age. He's referencing a movie more than 3 decades old. Kiss the ring? FOH.... Stephen was right its dudes like Whitlock who define one man showing adulation and support as kissing the ring. Da F%%% is that about. Dude they were just having a conversation about life. Neither one was seeking approval.

[@jamalbenjamin5879]

I dont' agree with that, the argument can be made that Eminem or Kendrick Lamar is just as hot as Drake. Both those guys move the needle just as Drake does and on some occasions they move it more than him. I think it was one guy back in the day, because it only happened to be One guy with accomplishments that were immeasurable, Now you have multiple acts or athletes achieving the same status.

[@jamalbenjamin5879]

@Jay nah brah... i never lookrd up to any of those people

[@1990758]

I agree with you the first part there's no such thing as a black leader in today's culture they won't listen to them your other part there's nothing wrong with showing your age a 20 year old has no guarantee of living longer than a 50 year old

[@wanbrown]

JAY Z WAS NEVER THE FACE

[@VBS11111]

Man... That suit on Stephen Jackson looks good!

[@edgewoodaldridge]

Stephen Jackson a Real One

[@ripDenmarkVesey]

Stephen Jackson: “it’s not one face that makes a culture”. How can they dispute that ?

[@mylojudah4640]

No fanboys. Just appreciate the greatness.

[@perezmoore4333]

A message to the panel: As a black man I don't worship ANY entertainer and they do not influence me on anything.

[@LakersNinersFan]

These “culture” talks are hilarious. What exactly is “the culture? ATHLETES? RAPPERS? If that is your culture then you dont realize how lost you are.

[@mrravimc]

AbelTovar510 A culture can be viewed as one’s way of life. People consume music, art, entertainment. So yes, people who contribute to that, are part of the culture.

[@manofarmz9795]

Subculture ...

[@mrpower4152]

AbelTovar510 is Ludacris that is our culture the athletes and rappers come from our communities where the most talented we give the most media attention everybody loves our culture we can't help it if we're very talented and it gets Mediastream and no other culture gets that kind of attention because of our culture is why we have black billionaires and millionaires nobody has to deal with discrimination and went through the horrors like we did so African American culture will always be more impressive than any other mad all you want but that's our culture

[@jonathanjohnson6727]

So you're gonna ignore how the culture of the past was shaped around hard rock, country singers, Abbot and Costello type comedians, and on and on.

[@peterpaz4877]

D NICE - You are wrong on so many levels.....it isn't even worth it to list the mall for you. After all, I have a birthday to celebrate in a few months.

[@drizzejohnson5767]

Lebron was buttering up Steven Jackson so he can speak up for him. He know Steve. Jackson a real 1.

[@smauricelilly]

"Was" a real one. Now Steven Jackson is an LeBron James Justice League member lol.

[@drizzejohnson5767]

😂😂😂

[@1990758]

Why all of a sudden they're trying to say that LeBron James or indirectly is a black leader what happened when he was in Cleveland and Miami are they going to say the same thing when Anthony Davis comes to the Lakers

[@samuell3093]

6.32 Who made that sound ‘bird man’ brrrrr 😂😂😂✋

[@dawnbreak2867]

Thank you, Stephen Jackson 1:23 - 2:08 money don't make you A leader.

[@paulettephillips2649]

REAL TALK,MICHAEL JORDAN DON'T SPEAK OUT LIKE LEBRON JAMES

[@kyleobrien3383]

4:05 Dontae Jones imagining a beautiful unicorn fluttering about on a rainbow under God rays.

[@wrldonwill]

2:30 Whitlock got the face like, "n%%%a, stop cape'n for that dude LeBron."

[@BruceWayne-rb1mb]

Whitlock is being the OG and Alpha

[@usmanioa]

This was an interesting discussion no matter how you put it. No other sports show is willing to go there. I don’t see NBA Jump discussing topics like this.

[@DavidLee-vp3nr]

when espn has these topics ppl tend to say "stick to sports" -can't have it both ways

[@kadams857]

Steven dropping knowledge on Fatboy

[@jamesdouglas1580]

Exactly Lebron James is humble that's what I appreciate about him

[@ciearlrichardson3132]

🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢

[@mistanomercy5245]

That was a interesting conversation and I don't think anyone was wrong with their opinions

[@kennyray4458]

Marcellus Stopit! Money 💰 has never been considered as a leader in culture it has also been a voice.....Bowl of Jello Jason Whitlock SMH......a disgrace

[@thomaswatson201130]

Allen Iverson had more impact on the culture then any other athlete ever

[@brandonturner7479]

Captain Jack!! Always speak the truth

[@miquelhenderson9078]

Master P played on the Toronto Raptors...Nobody metion that

[@etuboldon]

8:25- Stephen Jackson - "giving people their props while they're still alive"... alluding to Kobe's death without even knowing it.

[@smauricelilly]

Can you imagine a panel full of white guys debating if Bono or Tom Brady is the Leader of their culture? Wooow, how low we have fallen.

[@mny1981]

this is a great show. They make their points, but they have fun and are entertaining. I just wish people the fans didn't take it so personal.

[@otownboy8749]

I'm sorry if our culture is soley based on entertainment and fads, than we sadly have a long way to go...

[@lyrikalinyoswiminpoo]

The phrase was "POP culture"... Relax!

[@otownboy8749]

It's still luciferianism

[@mackinshizzaveli4202]

Art isn’t devil worship. The people who make it may worship the devil. But art has been apart of life since the beginning of time.

[@otownboy8749]

Art imitates life, so what these entertainers do is manifest their satanic ideologies through art to sublimely influence the mass... except for the ones who see through it.

[@mackinshizzaveli4202]

Since your so holy why are you on KZbin? And not in a Bible? Which the Bible and the book on demonology was written by the same king James. 🤔

[@kristof7518]

Why is Dahntay Jones on the show??

[@mny1981]

I agree. Nice guy, just not good at debating. His points aren't really that good

[@Ghostkilla773]

KG Hall they need a Lebron lover on every show

[@pjnla]

Whitlock has disdain for the culture.

[@triplemusclefitness]

Jason Whitlock knows nothing about calling a friend for advice because he has none 😑

[@deionfarmer3002]

Y’all keep Jason Whitlock on this show because he says outlandish and controversial things smh

Kendrick Lamar is on top.

[@yngricky1194]

[@mogtrader8]

D. Jones should play some defense in The Big 3. He doesn‘t contest shots!!

[@kinginthemaking6910]

He was born for this

[@familystone255]

Stephen Jackson is the only one making sense.

[@EVERYTHING-dc2od]

Stephen jackson literally played in the same era as bron talking bout iN mY eRA...

[@chrissavidge6202]

He's hanging with groups that are into extremely evil things and they all sit up there like they don't know. Its a absolute disgrace.

[@donaldcurry150]

Steven Jackson is the only real Brotha on that panel. I'm old school & it's true, "we live in a time that men gossip as much as women & stay in others KITCHENS.

[@tbonee5]

Mans said lil pump like WHAT

[@skottiechan3755]

Stephen jackson knows what he is talking about. He is certified to speak on this subject.

[@brandonturner7479]

🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️y they keep showing Birdman 🙄

[@Jaspora25]

Umm..I guess the bigger question is the impact on American Culture?!...I could be wrong, because, if we are keeping an honest measure of success..we need all an "All-American" at sports, movies, pop culture icon (one who can fill in an era with consistent and amazing content of one's life)!.., philanthropy efforts and most importantly, likable! ..; Lebron fits the modern age like a glove!

[@Commonsens8]

I can't believe I just watched this trash. My mouth is literally on the floor. This show is just wow. What a crazy topic.

[@kevinjackson4445]

Plus, J. Prince was the one that told Drake not to respond. Wow

[@LesA.R.6568]

Thank goodness for Stephen Jackson.

[@justinharrison5138]

Why does it matter 🤦🏿‍♂️ one black man want to another black man for advice

[@tommyparr2804]

What is it about Jason Whitlock, hating LeBron James

[@stevedeland1188]

LeBron is the leader of the Sports Media Culture. That's it! Stephen Jackson is correct. No one individual makes the culture!

[@keonwilliams3227]

The two guys in the middle don’t know nothing about the culture lol

[@kenneyroweII]

Lebron is on top but because he is locked in with his other kings of kulture proving jw and steph jackson right

[@floydjr1478]

Turns out Whitlock was right. The liberal media put LeBron front and center. All a sham.

[@nevawnkamara1872]

[@150acatuisamoakaraokesingingfo]

Thank you Stephen for being correct

[@eddiesennie1139]

Not fitlock always wants to condemn and speak negatively on any black star. What Drake is doing is called Networking showing respect and connecting with someone as big as you are with different connections and has influence in the world. There’s nothing wrong with that or soft about it.

[@AngelLopez-rf1fq]

breezy still on top too!!! y'all forgettin Chris Breezy ma fellas ? he is on top for several years !!!! just wanted to point that out cause y'all forgot him in this conversation

[@eddiesennie1139]

Honestly not a lot of black people listen to or have heard of tech nine. I know about him because some white friends were listening to him and a few street rappers did songs with him but songs were not hits

[@XORGNMN]

This dude Stephen has to be a Jordan hater lol. Dude says Jordan never led the culture but everybody and their mama claim they had a chance to win since he retired smh. Y’all boys always in your feelings. Besides Whitlock and Wiley

[@mrravimc]

Whitlock says “[Rappers] might be making money, but they ain’t making LeBron money.” Bruh. DUH. LeBron is probably on his way to being a billionaire. A very small percentage of the population is making that much money. Let’s be realistic.

[@BOE394]

This was simple Wiley and FAT BOY can dance very well!!! STAX AINT BOUT TO TWO STEP like that!

[@traviscook1316]

Why do we hold rappers in such high regard?

[@kemit99]

Music and sports need each other...Imagine sports without a soundtrack...Boring

[@tonyshlean]

I agree with Jack, hip hop is the sum of its parts and not just a head. From the little nobodies to the big somebodies make this whole thing up. Like a pyramid scheme

[@j.m9118]

s/o to jones for doinn the birdman chirp soon as birdman was mentioned 💯

[@joechrow8341]

When you have so many fans/media labeling you with a nickname like "LeChoke" you just cant be the GOAT sorry...Cant think of ANY great superstar who had such a disrespectful nickname like that.....Lebron is a CLOWN

[@MrLakeshow11]

You're never right about nothing but what not to eat if you're not trying to become a black sumo

[@davidkrueger9053]

Stephan says a lot without making any sense at all. It hilarious.

[@gregorylagrange]

Jordan didn't care about being a celebrity. That's the difference. LeBron is going over to Drake during warmups while Jordan wouldn't because the celebrity side of being a pro athlete is so much more important to athletes now. Athletes can't wait to make an appearance in somebody's video once the contract is signed nowadays. There's also a lot more diva behavior across the entertainment business. There's a lot of gimmicky things to pop culture that athletes before wouldn't bother with and would probably call out why they wouldn't bother with it. You can look to the incident with Drake getting into it with Perkins. That kind of thing wouldn't happen back in Jordan's day because for one, you didn't have celebrities forgetting about that line on the court that separates their celebrity world from the world of an athlete. Whether good or bad, there have been athletes who have crossed into the music/rap business, and acting. You don't have any rappers or actors deciding to try their hand at being a pro athlete. So in today's culture where you have anybody for any reason, especially women, wanting to be famous and becoming famous, you wouldn't have somebody like Jordan showing some acknowledgement to you just because you have fame in common. Besides, once Jordan found out about Steven Jackson bringing out a gun at club, he'd probably decide that's not a person I want anything to do with.

[@marcusreid4890]

That dude cant even do 10x jumping jacks!

[@ciearlrichardson3132]

Drake did look suspect but them Canadian cats different

[@bigbabydogdawg4496]

Birdman didn't make Drake at all!

[@goldblooded3007]

Steven Jackson should be smarter than that. the reason why he stopped shooting around come shake your hand so you could do what you are doing right now. and you took the bait like everyone else. Kobe Bryant Jordan they are real basketball players they'll talk to you when the game is over

[@jeffreypierre1701]

Stacks %100

[@kawhijennings6690]

Marcellus was so wrong in his take the first 30 seconds. Athletes are looked up to because of the money, fame, and women. You’re stupid if you think otherwise. Some people actually respect the game but most just do it for everything else. It starts as “lemme get my family out of the hood”... but it then becomes “Im only messing with instagram models and people who aren’t in my inner circle but are where I came from are beneath me”

[@ninjabomb9346]

for as many dudes that love lebron, just as many think he's a joke....thats not influence, thats forced presence.
