  • J.

  • We're shooting the J.

  • Last night, Harden was shooting it to the tune of 13 for 25.

  • Had a great game coming off the triple double.

  • So we're gonna have you figuratively shoot the J in J with the biggest stories in the league, starting with J.

  • We've seen some big threes that have been good before, but none may be as good as the one we're about to see.

  • We're watching the black mob in Brooklyn, and this is the greatest scoring trio in the history of the game.

  • Not sure that automatically translates to winning a world championship, but everybody on this team knows that K D is the most special talent on this team.

  • James Harden.

  • You will see him acquiesce.

  • You will see Kyrie Irving when he gets when he comes back into this rotation this weekend vs Cleveland will be a guy that can score in isolated situations.

  • But there's no doubt about their the new villains of the MBA and actually think this trio being formed will make people actually root for LeBron James to a degree, because people want to see LeBron James take down maybe one of the greatest scoring trios we've ever seen a symbol.

  • Okay, so we have the great trio and maybe the duo of LeBron and a D.

  • Many have rooted against them in the past, but maybe going up against this trio makes them the likable duo.

  • Hey, you like what you see out of Joel Embiid this season, huh?

  • I love what I see from Joel and look, the one thing I do recognize because it is trade that potentially was on the line here with Ben Simmons.

  • Make no doubt about it.

  • There are more than company.

  • They're building this team around Joel and be This is dwelling beads Team Ben Simmons being on the trade block, and there's still potential guys out there for Philadelphia to go get one that we'll talk about later on in this little session.

  • But Dwelling Beat is having spectacular year close to 50 40 90 season, playing himself into the M V P conversation, he's lost weight.

  • You ever heard him come out with immature comments?

  • He's playing at a high level.

  • This team is actually prone to do something pretty special in the Eastern Conference.

  • I know Milwaukee will be there, but Philadelphia will be there within this season as well.

  • So 50 40 90 50% from the field, 40% from deep.

  • He's close to him.

  • Yeah, from the line.

  • Incredible.

  • And then we can't miss out on the one missing link for so many teams to maybe get over the top.

  • Well, look, we've seen Anthony Davis get himself out of New Orleans.

  • You watch James Harden get himself out of Houston.

  • Bradley Bills Next, y'all Bradley Bills.

  • Probably one of the most gifted shooting guards there is in the league.

  • Leads the league in scoring per game.

  • 35 points per game.

  • Key.

  • Uh, the guy doesn't need the ball in his hands to be effective.

  • The trade With Russell Westbrook coming, there isn't really working out there off.

  • They have the second worst record in the league, and Russ's having career lows and shooting from the field and shooting from the three point line.

  • Bradley Bill from Philadelphia or from Milwaukee.

  • I'm making calls to Washington.

  • What do you want?

  • What do you want?

  • Washington.

  • Because from Milwaukee, Bradley Bill could be the missing link to them, actually winning the whole thing because of his ability to space the floor with the honest and Yakubu Key.

  • What do you think about it?

  • He mentioned your Lakers.

  • He mentioned your new hometown team, the Brooklyn Nets.

  • Well, I'm still going with the Lakers.

  • Regardless, In this situation, I think that when you talk about the new big three, so to speak, in Brooklyn I think that they you first of all, you gotta get Kyrie back.

  • And once you get carried back on the floor, then you could have the conversation about them.

  • Potentially being one of I wouldn't necessarily be is bullish is J as the best three to ever face the, you know, best scoring.

  • Okay, Best scoring trio Still, man them dudes up in Golden State still got me puzzled with with that, you know, Kevin Durant and Curry and Klay Thompson.

  • That three was pretty lethal in terms of scoring.

  • And they were winning chips at that at a clip that, you know, we hadn't seen in recent history.

  • So I think that when you look at that and then when you talk about the Lakers, the Lakers air just, you know, teetering along.

  • Although they did blow a 19 point lead last night to the Golden state words.

  • It happens when you win a lot, you get bored.

  • And I think in that situation they fell asleep at the wheel.

  • They got bored and they wind up losing the game.

  • But in the end, I look forward to seeing whoever comes out of the East against the Lakers.

  • Make no doubt about it.

  • The Lakers air better this year than what they were.

  • Absolutely, and that's insane to even think for a second.

  • And look, people have LeBron James fatigue.

  • If people get tired of talking about LeBron James winning championships and is he the greatest ever?

  • And Anthony Davis Because now there's a new shiny object, and that's on the East Coast in Brooklyn.

  • But by the way, the Lakers have the best record in the entire NBA.

  • They've been just putting in work silently, and as long as they're there at the end of the day, that's all that matters.

  • You know it.

  • Watching four quarters of Laker basketball has been for me as a as a lifelong Laker fan.

  • Like you said, though Jay has been like fatigue like I expect for them to win.

  • I expect for them, even if they lose a game.

  • It's like, Okay, well, all right.

  • They lost four games.

  • That's a big deal, All right, they lost three.

  • Big deal, like Okay, so what?

  • That doesn't mean in the end, they're not gonna be in the championship.

  • That's like Pat Mahomes losing to the Raiders key.

  • Like all right, Well, no, what?

  • They lost the game.

  • But, I mean, who's not?

  • Who's not expecting the Kansas City Chiefs to be in the Super Bowl?

  • That's how we look at Thanks for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming sports and premium content subscribed to ESPN plus.
