I'm gonna tell you my take ready for this because the Perkins was on me and Dominic Fox Worth was on me on first take.

You know who needs to win the championship more than any other player who needs it this year, more than any other player in the NBA.

You ready for this, LeBron James?

LeBron James needs it the most.

Scoop.

He is a Laker.

Onley reason.

Lakers fans like to win a championship because you can't repeat before you win the first one, and you can only reason they like to win.

Two is you can't threepeat before you repeat thes air.

The most demanding fans in the world in basketball and because they're used to it.

Okay, that's one to He's on the best team in the world and they got better in the off season and they they were.

They were taking care of the whole Western Conference Bell to Bell, winning Siri's Fourtou one.

They never got taken seven the whole playoffs and he is playing the best player in the world.

Is playing with another top five, arguably the second best player in the world.

Scoop.

He can't not win the championship.

That would be a not even from a legacy standpoint of what she's dealing with.

Because the LeBron James Michael Jordan argument is still the biggest argument in sports.

It's bigger than the seasonal MBA conversations that we have because is transcendent, just a regular school argument.

So from a legacy standpoint, you're correct.

And time is running out on LeBron to, like, really limit himself in that conversation.

Really?

Take over that conversation so he does have to win it.

And also, you know, this whole argument about Anthony Davis possibly being the best player he's ever played along.

So that takes away the excuses off.

Why haven't you want a championship or you?

Why you all just got one together so blind?

I'm with you on that one.

I'm with you.

Yeah, I gotta tell you, I don't I never hold against LeBron like he lost in.

07 They had no business in the finals in 07 That just speaks to how great he is that he dragged them there.

That roster there, I don't hold that against him.

I don't hold against him losing to the 73 win Warriors who added K D you lose those?

Of course, you can't beat that team.

By the way, I don't hold it against him.

The first time they lost to the Warriors, Katie, Kevin, Love and Kyrie got hurt.

That's just amazing.

He took him six games, but I do hold the Mavericks loss against him.

I do hold the loss to the Spurs, who are an amazing team, but so were the Heat.

You know, that's just straight up.

Two great teams you lost.

And this year would be like one of those scoop, you know, the history of the league.

When you got to top MVP caliber players on the same team, they almost always win the championship.

One piece about this Jordan LeBron argument that people really bring up that really hurt is you Never heard anybody talk about the teams that LeBron has been on and have one championship in the context of them being one of the greatest teams ever.

So if we're talking about greatest player, we also about greatest teams and you know, if Jordan LeBron teams ever met, if there's not a team that LeBron has been on that we can actually say in the scores argument that could compete with the Bulls at all.

Here's the thing.

If this king right now, the Lakers, if they play themselves in the next couple of years and being in a conversation of one of the great you know top five top 10 teams in the NBA, that will be a first in LeBron's career.

But he needs that for this legacy argument that we're having and this makes it.

No, it's you.

See you, not the win, because of all the other teams you've been on those that have won championship, they've never been considered one of the greatest teams in NBA history.

You have a chance right now with a D at his peak with the players that you built around and with the players of the next couple of years, they're gonna want you come there because of who you all are.

You can now enter interest.

Hey, we have one of the greatest teams in history and that is what submits your argument.

And now it's like, Okay, I can I can really be in a conversation with doing because we could have an individual conversation about this, but now I'm on a team that we can have a conversation about.

And LeBron doesn't have that in the then the lexicon to this conversation that's necessary, and he has a chance to there right now.
