JJ tries multiple times to call a play for LeBron, but he’s chatting with the Suns bench. Takes a timeout.

When the class valedictorian gets Senioritis
lol this is on point ☝️
He does not care
He’s done.
50mil to be the 5th option .
He’s chillen this season
Just getting to double digits and spamming handshakes
LeDone
Nah he’s just a a manchild. Always has been to some extent, sadly
Absolutely shameless stat padding for that 10 points at the end, Jesus.
It’s not the first time and won’t be the last lmao
its frustrating, drags himself to 10 points then immediately checks out not giving a fuck about the game
Let’s not act like we all wouldn’t do the same
I wouldn’t because it literally doesn’t matter, I’d prefer a win but whatever.
By the time they were trying to feed Lebron that game was long over.
lmao peak Reddit
You may be confused about the concept of stat padding. When you’re stat padding “a win” is not an option anymore, so whether you prefer it or not is irrelevant.
The question you have to ask as the player is: given that I have lost, do I want better stats or not?
This clip is more damning then him keeping his streak alive, who cares
Idk that streak is historic as fuck, he should keep it going as long as possible. This is going to be (probably already is) one of those nearly unbreakable records.
JJ realizing he has no authority
LeIAmTheReasonYouEvenGotACoachingJob

I know some people hate this meme but I fucking love this lmao
Coaching LeBron has gotta be the worst job in the NBA if you want to be respected by the players lol
Spo is the only coach to survive him, and the only one to be successful without him. LeCoach and LeGm is a meme for a reason, and the Heat were the only organization strong enough to push back against him
I’d say both Mike Brown and Ty Lue have seen success without him.
I’ll concede that Lue has grown into a much better coach, but his success is limited and doesn’t match post-lebron Spolestra.
Mike Brown I’ve never believed in
Mike Brown made the Kings respectable for a year. That is a greater accomplishment than any championship. I want to add an “/s” but honestly winning COTY with the fucking Kings is a crazy achievement
One could argue that the Clippers’ roster health has been the biggest sandbag to his tenure there lol.
You can believe in the easter bunny if you want. The reality is winning COTY by leading a team to +14 wins over their preseason projection = success.
Vogel seemed pretty solid in all his stop as well
“I’m the coach now” - LeBron
I’m in charge.
Do you feel in charge?
Lol I’m having deja vu
Wasn’t he just yelling at ar for doing the same thing last week?
LeForgetful
yes, but they were up 10+ lol
At least AR had a great game and winning by a lot.
LePriviliged
LeAmnesia
Yes. His reaction to LeBron was just a wee bit different than his reaction to Reaves.
LeHypocrite
LeStatpad got his 10 points
Now he sits lmao
LeShameless
LeDon’tCare
LeSits
I’m out of the loop why 10 points
He’s got a crazy 18 year streak of getting at least 10 points in every game he’s played
he has an insanely long streak of scoring doube digits
Only way I can see it ending is if it’s a close game and he’s still at maybe 2 points heading into the 4th.
LeUnconcerned
disrespectful. dislike this.
JJ needs to do better. Our offense cannot just be Luka and AR making stuff happen on offense while LeBron stands in the corner for 80% of the game.
yea I don’t like how Luka and Reaves has dominate possession and ignore role player for shot.
For Lebron though I think he prefer doing this unless it requires him to take it up.
But he needs to pick up the fucking defense it’s annoying that there is no defense
Reaves has to guard something man. He’s such a defensive liability it’s crazy
If you weren’t saying this during the win streak perhaps you can chill after 1 L
Their win streak was mostly mid teams. This was the best defence they faced since OKC and it exposed a lot of issues that are likely to re-appear in the playoffs (if they keep this same roster).
To be clear, I’m not saying their streak was fake, I’m just saying theses losses shouldn’t be ignored.
Bum ass Raptors fan bold telling lies with a straight face… Worry about your own terrible team
Had an off game, don’t overreact. Happens every once in a while, this game doesn’t change the whole direction of the team. We’ve seen the plan work.
Feels so strange seeing this from the outside and not “Kidd has to do better, offense cannot just be Luka doing stuff”. Kidd literally said “Game plan? Luka is the game plan”
Crazy how having 3 ball dominant players struggle to find an offensive identity. Who would’ve thought? lol
It’s one game. What are you smoking?
Pretty much just reiterating what OP said but in different words and people are having a conniption
this has not been the case at all this season btw
LeBron has held the ball for an average of 2 seconds per possession, he’s not ball dominant at all. The problem is they’re not exactly gelling the best when they don’t put in the energy to cut and move off ball.
Literally you’re saying that 3 players who are at their best when they are able to be ball dominant are not gelling together on the court. Weird
Luka had more points than all 4 other starters combined, they did literally nothing and were passing up or missing all their wide open shots. And Lebron is in his “win, lose, or draw” mood rn
I like Luka, but the others barely got any shots tonight cause he was a turnover machine
Rui only took 1 shot lmao
Luka turned the ball over on 4 consecutive possessions in the 2nd and we lost the lead and never regained it. Hard to get into rhythm when one dude takes 50% of the shots
And somehow Luka was -25
9 turnovers
Rui had 1 shot attempt all game.
That’s the Luka special. The other players get cold when a player handles the ball as much as Luka. Same would happen in Dallas
Chill Nico
Ok Nico.
Tbf, what are the other options of mood in a basketball game?
The reactions in this thread are crazy compared to the last lakers game.
Memories of goldfish around here lol
Almost like this is an insanely large subreddit and there are different people…
Nah it’s just an echo chamber and the previous threads AR and Luka were cooking . Now the lakers are doing bad so it’s make fun of them time.
Ahh got it, so it’s not possible that there are different people commenting in that thread versus this one. It has to be the case that the same people are all suddenly flip-flopping
Don’t forget, the negative voices are louder than the positive ones. I’m not a lakers fan but you can tell that people are just salivating to wait for any slip up or drama.
This is not a serious basketball team, no matter how many regular season games they win
Lefuckitgotmy10points
Thats just plain disrespectful and egotistical. There’s still plenty of game left and the mother fucker is flirting with the Suns.
To be fair, the Suns looked pretty hot this evening.
I didnt consider that, youre right 🥰
At the end of the day it’s just basketball
Yeah bro is a billionaire and a goat. He doesn’t have to care anymore lol
He has 50 million reasons to care lmao, I hate the Lakers and their especially their fans, but the fans deserve better than this from the 2nd highest paid player on the team.
Highest paid player*
That’s embarrassing
*highest paid this year
This is exactly why he is not the goat.
To you
To many he is
I miss zero dark thirty possessed playoff LeBron, don’t know if we’ll see that man ever again 😪
Thankfully never again and especially never in a shitty lakers jersey
U seem upset lmao
Lebron has been chummy with a ton of opposing benches…man seems to be losing focus on basketball
Unc just wants to hang out with the young bloods instead of going to work lmao
Phoned it in. So many times LeBron has done this in his Lakers tenure.
The goat plays when he’s ready
LeDoneWithBasketball
Sad product of the nba regular season
Too many ads for me to watch this anymore. Then adding this to it…
What a bitch (LeBron)
Okay but really though, you have to pretend like you care. In Miami or Cleveland if a teammate would’ve forced a timeout because he was busy chatting with the opposing bench, LeBron would’ve made a scene.
MJ would never
Edit: People paying hundreds or thousands of dollars to come see this guy and his coach can’t even call a play because he’s having chats with the opposing bench, it’s clown shit and if MJ never dreaming of doing this corny shit offends you then keep bringing the downvotes lol
You tell em puny! Who does the 41 yr old think he is lol
Lakers are the biggest pretenders ever
Watching this behaviour solidified my opinion. MJ > everyone
Jordan or kobe would never.
LeDistraction
I really doubt they make a serious effort to bring him back
Weird that the refs just let a coach take a time out like that when they are playing the game.
Hahahahah it took me a second but I caught your flair. Well played.
LeBron is having that Win,lose or draw, just have fun spirit.
Now I’m getting the impression LBJ did not like that Luka deal and he’s on the way out to Cleveland to retire next year
Chicago*
bronny would never
Feel bad for JJ here. He definitely had to control himself more than he did for the AR situation a few days ago. Bron gotta do better man.
Kobe was mamba up to his very last shot, just sayin

I like how Luka was just like if LBJ ain’t giving a shit, I’m checking out. Let him get his ten and clear the bench.
Lakers just lost all interest in playing basketball halfway through the second quarter.
Interest isn’t there so far this season. He may kick into gear, he may just fade now too. The story unfolds now

This clip will do numbers for years to come 💀

This is actually wild. Imagine JR smith doing this lol

Le trade me back to Cleveland

LeBron is just coasting at this point.
He’s gonna get spanked for that outburst.
He was still there after the timeout was called too lol
Bron don’t give a fudge anymore
The Suns need a PF….we’ll trade you Richards and a second for Lebron.
LeIAmTheCoach
oh man that looks really bad lmao
Manchild gonna manchild. There’s no such thing as a Head Coach on a Lebron team.
This was possibly Lebron’s worst game…so far. This season is gonna be rough.
LeConversating JJ, you gotta LeWait
LeSportsBetting
Father Time has finally caught up with the king
Lebron is the kid who does no work on the group project and still gets the A. Luka and reaves will carry.
He should just start his farewell tour at this point the way he’s been interacting with everyone these past few days lol. It seems like he’s enjoying a lot of love!
Bron will be 41 at the end of the month, December hoops against a Devin Booker-less Phoenix Suns squad is not moving him lol
LeBron is making $53 million this season, more than any other Laker.
It’s the regular season in barely December. None of this matters.
