i swear Shane says this bit every time he mentions Lebron. the self-deprecating is almost narcissistic in a way. like Luc Longley’s VORP was much higher.
Shane Battier on Miami LeBron and why LeBron is the GOAT:
“For as good as you think he was, he was that much better. I’m biased, but when people say LeBron or MJ, I say LeBron did something twice, that I don’t think Jordan could ever do once. He won two NBA titles with Shane Battier as his starting PF. I love Mike, one of the greatest of all time but LeBron did it twice with me as his bum ass PF….. The force, intelligence, he didn’t have a weakness when he was in his prime. There was no answer for him. He was like the Queen on the chess board. Could do everything.”

elements of the Lakers/Pistons series, Rockets/Magic when Shaq was young, and Spurs/Cavs when Timmy told Lebron “thanks for this one, it’ll be your league soon”
remnants of Shaq’s first Finals when Dream and the Rockets schooled the more physically imposing team. that TO/foul/missed shot gonna be in his nightmares. and JB survived that miss FT. ima give KAT MVP of the series thus far.
Scottie with a Bubba impression ha. naw but its high stakes and high reward, he has a right to get flustered. casuals will think he’s just whining tho.
🚨🗣️😳 #FULL VIDEO — “I DONT THINK YOU UNDERSTAND HOW FRUSTRATING THAT IS.”
World #1 Scottie Scheffler UNLOADS on caddie Ted Scott after getting the wind wrong.
real recognize real. the craftiness, shiftiness, shotmaking, southpawing while being undersized. IT2 more athletic while JB is more a knockdown shooter.
Brunson is that dude!!!! Reminds me of myself when he’s going to work… Heavy film on him for my sons!!! HOOP GAME!!! Every movement he makes MATTERS every time down 🏁🏁🏁
we lost so many recipes man. one of the reasons I used to look forward to the NBA Playoffs was knowing that the Nike Elite series shoes was finna drop & I’d be able to see LeBron, KD, or Kobe balling out in their PEs. you just knew it was Playoff time whenever you saw these
"BLOCKED BY KORNET!"
"BLOCK! WHAT A BLOCK!"
"OUT OF NOWHERE, LUKE KORNET!"
Luke Kornet gave us a Western Conference Finals moment tonight that we will never forget 🤯
The Spurs advance to the NBA Finals!
SGA reminds me more of a shorter but more slithery KD. he balled out today just needed some help. Cason is amazing but missing Ajay/J-Dub too much to overcome.
