NBA February Storylines

Transcript

00:00 2024 is a leap year. So we have a February 29th to look forward to, which means we have an extra day of NBA action.

00:10 That's both exciting and very weird. Why do we do leap year?

00:14 Leap year has always been confusing to me.

00:16 That's a video for another network. But extra basketball. We've got to take advantage of this day.

00:22 Yes. So what are your biggest storylines for this month?

00:25 I mean, looking back, I'm still amazed every month by LeBron James.

00:30 Yeah.

00:31 He's 39 years old.

00:32 Yeah.

00:33 He still, when he really wants to be, he's the best player in the league.

00:38 Yeah.

00:39 Defensively, offensively, and still there's nobody.

00:42 He's a punisher.

00:43 Even as good as Giannis is, and sometimes you're like, "Whoa, he takes two steps from half court and ducks."

00:48 Right.

00:49 When LeBron gets the ball with a head of steam, nobody in the NBA still is willing to get in his way.

00:56 After 20 years.

00:57 It is almost like you're guaranteed embarrassment if you do.

01:00 Yeah. It's almost like I respect because he's the king, and I respect my elders.

01:05 But they're also like, "That dude is still 6'9", 260, and he won't hurt me by getting away."

01:10 It's just amazing.

01:12 We saw players at late 39, Dirk Nowitzki when he was 39, he's totally changed his game.

01:18 He's finessed.

01:19 He's not even playing any defense.

01:20 LeBron, if you just turn on the FinBee, that's from 2002.

01:26 He still looks amazing.

01:27 It's incredible.

01:28 Now, the Lakers are not playing, but LeBron, he still much watches TV.

01:32 Good for King James.

01:33 Yeah.
