AI GeneratedThe speakers engage in a hypothetical debate about whether LeBron James would have been a better fit with the Golden State Warriors compared to his current situation with the Philadelphia 76ers. They analyze how his chemistry with Steph Curry and the emergence of Yaxel would have created a powerhouse team comparable to the '96 Bulls.
The Warriors, the play, I mean, they've won eight straight.
Like, what do you think would have happened if LeBron,
do you think LeBron would have fit with this Warriors team?
Yes.
Him?
Yeah, but him passing the ball to Steph Curry,
you saw when he did the Olympics,
he took over a game.
And now he got a stud in Wksel.
Would they have been better?
Okay, do you think they would be better
than how the Sixers are looking right now?
Because the Sixers, I know we just bashed them.
They've looked good.
They've looked really good so far.
That's a great question.
No?
That's a great question.
I don't think they would look better
because LeBron has more toys in Florida.
Like, you know what I mean?
Maxie, yeah.
Yeah, that he has more toys in Philly.
However, Jimmy, if you, if Jimmy Butler was on the court right now,
limping like Embiid, then the question,
because Embiid and Butler are kind of like the same, you know,
you don't know what you're going to get in terms of health.
Then you got into the conversation.
But as, as the rosters look, making that decision,
it was obvious Philly would be better.
But man, if LeBron was on the Warriors,
they would be competing for top two.
Yeah, they're eight and three right now.
It would be competing for top in the West.
Yeah.
John?
I'll make this argument.
If LeBron knew Yaxel was this good,
I think he would have chose Golden State.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because if you really look at the makeup,
Yaxel is Maxie,
And in the formula of things,
let me explain.
Let me explain.
LeBron went to the Sixers because of the youth of Maxie
and the youth of Edgecomb.
Correct?
Yeah.
And Jalen Brown, though.
And Jalen Brown.
But Jalen Brown is the Steph Curry portion of this.
Okay.
So now you go, you get Yaxel, 20 points, seven rebounds, six assists,
tough guy, doing the dirty work, fan favorite all of a sudden.
Yeah.
You pair that with Bron, you pair that with Draymond,
you pair that with Steph, and after
Christmas, you get Jimmy Butler back.
Because that's all Yaxel is.
Yaxel is just a bigger, younger, stronger version of Jimmy Butler.
Yeah.
Now you add the old veteran version to that,
and you put those five guys out there, now they lack height.
But what they lack in height?
They lack in experience and energy.
The one thing I have seen the Sixers lack so far this year
is they lose energy.
Their energy dips.
But I think that's tied to Joel and B when he's on the floor,
you have to give him the ball.
Cause if you don't,
what else is he out there for?
Yeah.
And so as long as you have to continue to do that,
I think that they're going,
they're still going to be a piece out there that,
that looks like it's missing.
But if this was in Golden State,
Oh man,
they'd have 82 regular season television games.
It just be.
Oh yeah.
I think,
I think LeBron,
Even though LeBron would choose...
He made the right decision.
Don't get me wrong.
He made the right decision.
But I'm saying, had he known what Yaxel would be,
I think he still would choose the Sixers because of legacy.
As much as he would love to play with Stephen Curry,
does he really want his legacy that I went out
with the cat I battled with for a decade?
And I teamed up with him.
I've been like.
Yeah.
Yes.
That would be kind of cool, though.
Because at the end of the day,
at the end of the day,
actually, maybe, yeah.
At the end of the day,
at the end of your career,
now, LeBron's going to be the Beatles
wherever he goes.
But you are Beatles in their prime.
You're not just, you know, Ringo
and you're throwing another Beatle,
which is what it kind of feels like sometimes.
This is the full-on Beatles traveling the world.
This is the 96 Bulls if he's on the Warriors.
Just because of the magnitude of Steph Curry
and the magnitude of LeBron James.
And out of nowhere, surprise, here's Scottie Pippen.
Yep, yep, yep.
Yaxel, yeah.
Yes.
That's crazy, yeah.
We got Charles Oakley and Draymond Green.
Yep, yes.
We got Steve Kerr and Podzingas.
Yes.
Like, come on, man.
Come on.
You know, and that's why I was pulling for it,
and that's why I kept talking about it,
because I didn't know Yaxu would be this good,
and if I did tell you that right now,
I'd have been lying.
I'd be lying to y'all.
But I thought that that would have been something special
for him to go out that way,
but I also like what he's doing in Philadelphia
because I actually believe that they're the best team
in the East regardless of what happened tonight.
