[Highlight] RUI FOR THE GAME
bron gave up on his streak doing what he loves
Killing the Raptors?
The city isn’t called LeBronto for no reason.
Epic lmao
I want to die
Peak LeBronto move
LeBack to the Stone Age
Lemeteor.
LeMeteorite
God damn!
:(
Bron killed more raptors than the meteor
When people talk about this streak this clip will be played.
Lmao it’s absolutely gonna be in the LeBron documentary. “I didn’t care about the streak at all”
I mean to be fair he proved that statement true here
Even if he’s kinda lying you gotta give it up lol
LOL it was win win for him. OT, he gets to keep his streak, make it and he gets credit for the pass. LeVISION
So really the most selfish thing is for lebron to shoot it… if he makes it, he gets the streak. If not, then ot and he can get the streak. Leselfless
That’s basically what he just said in his interview right now too.
LeCAPPIN
“What streak?”
Another entry into the Lebronto files
Yes..yes..uploading to my LeBronto database..
Couldn’t have ended this streak in a better way. Now whenever it’s mentioned it will always be with the asterisk that he choose the game winning assist over the selfish field goal attempt.
“I knew that morning I told Bronny I might sacrifice the streak for a game winner today”
Absolutely the coolest possible way to lose that streak.
The most LeBron way too. Passing up a tough game winning shot to hit an open teammate.
Fairy Tale Ending.
Best ending honestly
Bricking the shot and losing in OT would be the worst
LeBronto>LeStreak
Fathering the Raptors
he knew it was gonna end eventually so he ended it on his own terms
i unironically think this is going to be a turning point in the GOAT debate
I hate the GOAT debate more than anyone on Earth, but this will change nobody’s minds I promise you lmao
Listen, for me it was never about breaking Kareem’s record or double threepeats.
Everyone knows the GOAT gets a game-winning assist in a game in December.
Yeah, prob forgotten in < 1 week.
Yep as of right now I consider him greater than Michael Jordan
my uncle is a lebron hater. hes one of those “BACK IN MY DAY THE NBA WAS DIFFERENT”. it’s so annoying to hear him minimizing the career of one of the greatest athletes of all time. like this mf is a top player in the NBA still in his 23RD SEASON. what else could one ask for
I was raised and surrounded by them growing up that its turned me into a “Lebron is my goat” guy even as a die hard bulls fan
Was wide open too. No one would’ve faulted him for shooting that.
Winning
I mean a game-winning assist is a pretty good way to end the streak I think
That’s Lebron through and through
absolute team player right there, didn’t even hesitate, wow
Proof the NBA is scripted. I can’t think of a better, more poetic way to end the streak than a game winning assist for an open 3 rather than going for a contested 2 when he was at 8 points
You forgot a key component: against the Raptors
It really was a sports movie ending. People keep calling me delusional for believing in this Lakers team as much as I do, but how can I not when the vibes are this peak? This team just has a special energy to it, despite all the flaws
And you got OKC as the Empire with Darth Gilgeous and Emperor Presti. Could be quite cinematic if they can pull it off
And the contested 2 all but guarantees the streak extends bc even if he misses he’s absolutely scoring in OT
He knew driving the basket would pull the defender off Rui
To beat Toronto ofcourse lol
Worst game of his career since 8 points in the 2011 finals and he still owns us. Lmao
Worst scoring game since then. He’s definitely had worse games with more points scored
yea 11 assists and no turnovers being the worst game is crazy
Coming from the Lakers sub, it’s always shocking to see comments even mildly positive towards LeBron.
I’m glad non-Lakers fans still appreciate LeBron in his “old age”lmao
People absolutely neglect how much of a team player this guy. Every few years he completely reinvents himself to fit his exact teams needs.
Now he’s enter his final evolution an elite role player
It perfectly sums him up as a player too and people used to criticize him for this lol
And ripping LeBronto’s heart out in the process
He died as he lived
Kind of poetic, fits his career
The streak itself was kind of used for strategy, imo: I was 100% sure LeBron was taking that shot, as I’m sure the Raptors were too, and LeBron tricked us all firing it to a wiiiide open Rui (who’s a 42% from 3 guy for the last 3 years)
edit: you nerds are taking this too seriously
Le18YearSetup
I’m dying at this
LeBron didn’t trick us. This is who he always been, and it’s the most fitting way for the streak to end. He always makes the right play.
That’s why he’s the goat, fuck the streak, play for the win
Poetic even. Epitomizes his style of play.
Actually poetic, I respect it. Probably feels like a load off his back, no more expectations left for him.
The GOAT
Average Toronto vs LA ending
Closed out by a Japanese player too.
KONNICHIWAGWAN CROSKI-KUN
I had no idea this meme made it out of Toronto lmao
we have tiktoks too bud
KONBAWATAGWAN MINNA SLIMES
hate hate hate hate ^(creative as fuck)
TOP LEFT CRODIE SAN
Insert picture of Rui and Yoshinobu dapping up
Japanese ppl hates Canada?
Dodgers beat Toronto in the world series led by MVP japanese guy
I almost hope we get a round 2 and Yamagoato gets to take ownership of Lebronto.

he met with Yamamoto recently. Learned from the best
Just kill me
LeBron still finding a way to end Toronto. I understand if you don’t find it funny.
It actually makes me a little horny now
WHAT is the correlation bro
Wow that’s kind of a personal question
He asked you a question!
LeRaptor sexual
masochist
Worst Bron scoring game ever, still a Raptors loss LOL
sorry
but also kinda not LOL
stop
The Lebronto game no one figured.
Brons gonna retire, and come back on a 10 day to beat the raptors year after year when games come up
He’s so dedicated to making sure that Toronto loses that he sacrificed the continuation of one of his greatest career accomplishments to secure the win. That’s my geriatric GOAT man
Rui the new Miguel Rojas?
The Japanese really hate us
Holy shit, what did y’all do to them to get them to hate you so much? Tell ‘em sushi sucks?
Toronto’s 12⁄7
Roki Sasaki. Shohei Ohtani. Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Rui Hachimura. Wow.
Please stop the Japanese exports man. Yammamoto already is in my nightmares
Rui “Miguel Rojas” Hachimura
I swear
Another japanese involved as well
was a damn high stick
Dodgers with the comeback vs the Blue jays, Kings with the comeback in Toronto vs the leafs and now this all in a month lmao
Our Japanese players are destroying Toronto.
Los Angeles Lakers. Raptors trauma since 2006
Throwback moment to pre-championship LeBron getting shit on for passing too much
MICHAEL JEFFEREY JORDAN WOULD NEVER PASS THIS
You are damn right….here you go Kerr!
Paxson, for three, IT’S GOOD!
He was throwing a punch at Kerr, not the ball
This is Paxson and Kerr erasure.
Plenty of people actually thought that shit before 2016 and some probably still do. Pure haters
This was the best way for his streak to end, passing to a teammate for the buzzer beating win. Imagine if it ended on a missed shot and a loss.
Missed shot sends the game to OT, streak probably survives
Not a killer
I remember how so many pundits LOST THEIR SHIT when he passed to Donyell Marshall and he argued back saying it was the right move.
People were so much more obsessive about being the hero in the NBA before.
Media dont know Marshall is a baller smh
Good guy Lebron passing to the open man instead of trying the shot for 10
He knows he could have bricked it so the game would go into OT and he could get 10. SeLefless
I’m almost positive he’s happy the streak’s over. It’s untouchable anyways and how he can go into every night being the pass first guys he’s been wanting to be in this stage of his career.
This streak and his points total might as well be etched in stone once he retires
LeBronze statue
It was honestly getting so obvious hearing about it constantly every game on the commentary
SeLefless lol
Nah, he was definitely making the winning play cuz his old ass ain’t surviving an ET and a B2B
Just go with SelfLess. It’s better
Respect
Like Lord Jesus Christ in Nazareth
Lol what a wild ride.
LeBron goes to the bench on that Reaves layup that ties the game at 120.
And then instead of taking the last shot, knowing he has only 8 points needing 2 to extend his double digit scoring streak record, he kick it to Rui for the game winner
That Reaves basket was crazy he really was in fuck it imma do this shit tonight mode. Holy gained a new respect from me tonight against this good Toronto defense imo. The game winner is also set up off Reaves.
Just now? Reaves is a top 15 player in the nba and he’s not 15
He’s literally #15 bro look at his jersey
At this point I think he objectively is. I know it sounds crazy to people from other fanbases, but this dude is consistently playing better than fucking Jalen Brunson statistically, and he’s doing it as the second option. If he was the number one option, he would probably be averaging damn near Luka numbers. He drops a reliable 40 bomb every time Luka is out bro, shit is insane. I’ve loved Austin as a player for a while, but I genuinely can’t believe he’s gotten this good.
Top 10 brodie
We were so undisciplined, just kept jumping all over reaves
But a part of that was Reaves getting a lot of defenders out of position making them uncomfortable. A couple of fouls was actual good defense met with better offense. Salute to Raptors because y’all are serious on that end.
AR causes that jumping all over tbf. Yeah he gets a good whistle, but he’s also so fucking trippy when he goes in and willing to take hits.
He’s frustrating from outside perspective, but they’re generally clear fouls.
Bro what? He was smothered on that shot haha. If you know he’s going to shoot it, they should all jump to contest.
It was crazy seeing Bron deferring to Reaves the majority of the game, shows the supreme confidence he has in him.
Also knowing that it’s a free shot and if he misses, he gets an extra five minutes to score one basket. It doesn’t get much better.
Sacrificing the streak to win the game. That’s probably the best way it could’ve ended. Witnessed history :)
Now we start the double digit assist streak watch
Scoring side quest: complete
Now begins the assists side quest
Time to pass Stockton all time.
LeBron could have forced OT to continue his streak but passed out of it for the win. Don’t want to see any stat pad comments here
That’s true, if he attempts the shot, and either if he scores or doesn’t make it, he probably finishes with 10.
exactly, would’ve gotten his 10 if he missed or not and decided to pass
WHAT ARE THEY GONNA SAY ABOUT BRON SELFISH NOW
People were trying to brew up a statpadder narrative on here lol
He coulda won it himself but threw it to Rui to pad his assist stats which everyone knows is the one glaring weakness in his overall legacy.
Ngl, I think he was protecting the streak while he could, but this was the perfect moment to give it up. I’m wondering what if anything changes now in his game especially alongside Luka and new Reaves
They cant
Respect to LeBron. Could’ve potentially extended his streak but found the open man. Greatest playmaker ever
Bro post the AR contact layup to tie it that was some Kyrie esque shit
Where Bron was literally sitting on the bench lol. Crazy sequence
Lakers without luka, lebron had a bad game, on the road against the 2 seed and they still won the game. Just incredible what redick and this team is doing. As far as im concerned there’s only 1 team in the league that can beat the lakers and thats the thunder
I think your flair is wrong lol
if your opponent isn’t worth respecting they’re not worth hating. Rivalries aren’t fun unless both teams are good.
He’s jinxing 100%
Wasn’t even a bad game just a bad scoring night, he helped in so many other areas
For LeBron it is a bad game come on. He looked like shit out there for his standards. And I’m a LeBron fan.
He’s still coming off injury, didn’t have training camp and definitely isn’t in game shape yet. This isn’t that surprising
4⁄17 is a bad game man it’s okay to just say it
A bad shooting game. He had 11 assists and zero turnovers.
Offensively, but the rebounding and assists were massive throughout the entire game. Reaves got his and Bron set everyone else up.
Everyone else trying to be the first to post about Bron’s streak meanwhile you’re the first one with the game winner 😂
I’m just happy Rui is on a team that actually wants him.
that’s the best way for the streak to end
Probably the most poetic way the 10-point streak could end lol
BLACK SAMURAI
Sold the streak for the W, I love it. Way to go King
LeBronto>10 pt streak
I can’t believe Lebron passed it. I was 100% sure he is shooting that
If he shoots it he either wins the game and gets 10 points or misses and gets it in overtime. Instead he did the one thing that had the best chance of it ending and that was passing it to a wide open 46% 3 point shooter for the game.
20+ years of watching all his games had me convinced he would pass it, but whoever was open would miss it. Flashback to his early Heatles days.
Raptors thought so too and left Hachimura open
LeBron makes the right play despite the streak, gotta respect it.
L’Assist
Holy fuck I literally turned this game on right as this was happening lol
That was the most unselfish play in NBA history
wouldn’t want the streak to end any other way tbh
Black Samurai 🇯🇵
You could see LeBron was eyeing Rui in the corner all this time… but the awareness of LeBron to not just swing it straightaway but take a dribble in to draw a bit more of the defense, THEN swing it.. Beautiful.
LEBRON STREAK ENDING IS MY LARRY O B ON THE SEASON
It must be a weird feeling, Lebron finally gave Toronto a win.
Another Japanese player for LA fucking the city of Toronto I love it
I am not a LeBron fan at all. But you got to give him credit he made the right basketball play and he could have easily been selfish and took the shot to extend his streak.
The confidence to make the game winning three at the buzzer after doing cardio last game. That’s crazy
LeBron ends his streak when HE wants
LeBron sacrificed his streak for a Rui gamewinner. Equivalent exchange
What is with those idiots in the bottom left of the video recording on their phone. You got some of the best seats in the house and youre gonna watch the game through your phone?
At least we’ll get to watch a cool POV on instagram in a few days.
Man, talk about unselfish. If LeBron shoots, he either hits the game winner and continues the streak, or the game goes into OT, where he almost certainly scores to continue the streak. The only way the streak doesn’t continue is if he passes… which just so happens to be the correct play to win the game.
2nd clutchest Japanese player on an LA team playing against a Toronto team in the past month.
You can’t make this up. These Japanese players love to beat Toronto players.
LA breaks Toronto’s heart once again.
Just another Japanese athlete that hates Toronto.
