Respect Magazine’s Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson chatted with Syracuse, NY’s 1260 AM The Score’s “Bud and The Manchild Show” about the Los Angeles Lakers and more.

Press Play Below To Listen.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers played a thriller last night at Wells Fargo Arena in Philadelphia, PA. Sixers big man Joel Embiid flashed a magnificent 46 point and 15 rebound outing for Philadelphia.

Ultimately, the night belonged to Lakers forward Brandon Ingram who drilled a game winner with 3 seconds left, courtesy of a crisp pass by his  Lakers teammate, Lonzo Ball.

It was a joy to see Brandon Ingram nail one of the biggest shots of his young career. He grew up liking Kobe Bryant. “My impression of Kobe is just his drive,” Ingram once told me.

Though Ingram was born in 1997, a year after The Mamba’s rookie year, he has fond memories of Bryant and the Lakers last championship run. “Everyone talks about how he works out, his work ethic, and that’s something that I eventually want to get to,” he said.

“Of course, and just want to talk with him and try to learn what he did to try to be what he is today.”

Prior to last night’s game I discussed both teams with “Bud and the Manchild” while also navigating through the rest of the NBA’s landscape. Click here to listen.

Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson discusses the novelty of LeBron James joining a young Sixers team while on 900 AM WURD’s Chris Murray Report radio show. Press play below to listen!

While it is widely believed that free agent-to-be, LeBron James would leave the Cleveland Cavaliers for the bright lights of Los Angeles to become a member of the Los Angeles Laker in the summer of 2018, don’t sleep on the city of Brotherly Love.

The coolest part? Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons and James could all become teammates.

Aside from James and Simmons sharing the same agent in Rich Paul, mathematics surely make sense.

The Philadelphia 76ers will have tons of cap space this summer and could come pretty close to James’ max of $34 million.

Amir Johnson’s $11 million contract will be off the Sixers’ books and he’d join a young Sixers squad that includes Ben Simmons (21), Joel Embiid (23), Markelle Fultz (19), Dario Saric (23), and Robert Covington (26).

Despite criticism, J.J. Redick has earned on signing his one-year $23 million deal this past summer, if he continues to play well, him re-upping with the Sixers would be a perfect re-sign for Philadelphia because James plays well with shooters.

While you’re in suspense for the possibility of this actually happening, you’ll be able to see James and the Sixers on the court at the same time soon. The Sixers and James’ current team, Cleveland Cavaliers play Saturday night at Quicken Loans Arena.

At 6-6, the Philadelphia 76ers are an eighth seed in the NBA’s Eastern Conference standings.

The season is still young.

But it is encouraging to see a team with loaded talent featuring Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid, J.J. Reddick, Jahlil Okafor, Amir Johnson, Markelle Fultz, Dario Saric and Robert Covington all play at the same time.

Scoop B checks in with CNN Philippines.

Building within the draft and free agency, the Sixers are young and growing. That’s been the case for a few years in the Trust The Process era.

Now the wins must follow.

But something seems different, for real!

Giannis Antetokounmpo is ballin’ out this year!  

With career averages of 15.3 points and 7 rebounds per game, The Greek Freak is having a fourth year coming out party with an uptick.

Through Wednesday, he’s averaged 33.7 points  and 10 rebounds per game for the Milwaukee Bucks.

I chatted with the crew at The Score 1260’s Bud and The Manchild Show in Syracuse, NY about Antetkoumpo’s rise as well as the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks’ recent surge, the potential of the Philadelphia 76ers and LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

We also discuss the intrigue of former Knick and curent Oklahoma City Thunder forward, Carmelo Anthony and his time in New York City.

NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan won six NBA championships as a member of the Chicago Bulls and will go down in history as one of the greatest.

Many hold similar expectations for Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James to be Michael Jordan’s heir apparent as the NBA’s ultimate alpha male.

Is it fair?

“I think it has always happened,” NBA Hall of Famer Dr. J Julius Erving told me on today’s episode of Scoop B Radio.

“I think people always make comparisons to people who are done. LeBron may play another six years, LeBron may play one year, we don’t really know. But I think it’s the fans argument, not the players argument. So I stay away from it. My all time greatest player is Kareem Abdul Jabbar. I think when you add up the numbers and add up the years, nobody has contributed more to the NBA history or pro basketball history. It’s very subjective for you to say Michael or LeBron who was better? Or who was the greatest, the GOAT that  is for the fans to argue about.”

In barbershop conversation, the argument that the internet places added pressure on LeBron to live up to Jordan’s accomplishments is often discussed. Dr. J says he saw similarities in his era where he was compared to players like Connie Hawkins and Elgin Baylor. “Then there were other guys that were high jumpers and those were the three that came up the most often in terms of the comparisons,” he said.

“And I looked at how I played the game and what was going through my thought process during that time. It wasn’t the same as theirs, but you know, there were some definite real comparisons to made.”
