[Highlight] LeBron is hyped after Rui’s buzzer beater celebrating it with his teammates (Lakers commentary)
LeBron gave up his streak so another Japanese player can game a Toronto team lol
Another Japanese LA player
Not Japanese or LA, but I feel like J-Lin gaming them out during peak Linsanity can be added to the lore as well lol
So he’s not Japanese, and he’s wasn’t playing for LA, so why are we talking about Lin?
Unrelated personal anecdote. I used to think only white people were racists. Then I listened to my friend’s Filipino uncle explain for 20 minutes why Jordan Clarkson wasn’t really Asian before my Chinese friend told the uncle that according to some, the uncle wasn’t really Asian either. Then everyone got offended and the bbq had to end. We tried to extract a lesson from the event and the only thing we could think of was that ewewan is a wittle bit lacist. So always tip da mamasan or swearingin cocksucka be weaaaal mad.
TWO Chinese cocksucka!
I think he may have begun to realize why now lol
Lin didn’t do that when he was a Laker so nah haha
Just because he’s Asian?
In 2025 Japanese players have done more damage to Toronto than fentanyl
Yamamoto passed over his powers onto Rui before the Suns game.
I guess his power took some time to transfer cuz Rui scored 0 and almost got a triple 0 that game lmao
DAMN
It was a win/win for LeBron’s legacy, honestly. If Rui missed, then LeBron could’ve scored a few more points in OT. But since it was made, then LeBron just looks like the ultimate win-oriented decision maker
Jordan would have went for the win-win-win
Lol so true. After hearing about this streak for so long on here, I think it’s kind of dumb how it ended. Just a regular season game, still could’ve won it in OT, and you’re LeBron James. Go for it
That streak is just for regular season so it’s bound to end one way or another
Yeah I know, just a little anticlimactic since there weren’t any pressing stakes on the outcome of this particular game. Not fighting for a playoff spot etc
Please, if a Lebron who was shooting 4-17 at that point took a bullshit contested shot with the game on the line in an attempt to preserve his record, he’d be dragged endlessly as a selfish statpadder, and deservedly so. Instead, he did what he always does and made the winning play, and that’s infinitely more admirable than keeping a record that’s already virtually unbreakable
“gave up” lmao
A pass first player. Thats who he has always been. He just happens to score very well.
“I bet his teammates all hate him”
One thing about the internet…people are stupid.
Since when?!
He’s not Chris Paul
Why do people look at a couple upvoted comments on a few posts and attribute those opinions to “this sub” , as if /r/nba doesn’t have hundreds of thousands of people commenting each week?
You can tell LeBron’s still has so much competitive fire but his body’s not able to keep up with him like it used to
Dude is like an old rhino lmao he’s stronger than all of those guys but just old

The guy missed camp and preseason, so he’s playing catch-up right now to everyone else. His conditioning isn’t where he wants it to be YET
Yeah he’s 6 games into his first season without training camp or preseason, and missing the first 14 games of the season. And he’s always needed a ramp up when returning from an extended absence regardless…Obviously he’s gonna be 41 in a few weeks, but I’m not ready to assume this six game sample, with that context, is the best he will be this year. I actually think that is an insane thing to assume.
He was also getting to the rim fairly easily, but just couldn’t finish. Didn’t settle for any step back 3s and still kept driving, which was positive to see. Once he gets his rhythm and legs back, the rust will shake off and he’ll get those finishes around the rim consistently.
He also got fucking hacked on a couple of those that could’ve easily been called fouls if he wasn’t named Lebron.
He’ll get better as the season goes for sure.
Give it a few weeks. People have been saying the same thing the last ten times he came back from injury as well. It was his worst game in a decade, yet he still comes out with 11a/0to and the game winning assist.
He’s so good
He’s play 6 games with no preseason and he’s coming off an injury.
Maybe pump the breaks on being worried about his body.
How can you not be worried? He’s 41
He’s literally never not had a preseason. He has never missed the start of a season before.
He always ramps up, and he has more that he has to catch up on. I’m not concerned, he was 40 last year.
I’m not saying the man is cooked but I can still be concerned. He can’t play forever. Y’all acting like it’s so outrageous to be concerned
Dont worry about what you can’t control. Enjoy the season. I don’t understand lakers fans who live and die by every point, like its their job to find every flaw in the team
Well said man, the lakers sub has plenty of LeBron haters waiting with pitchforks out, coming out at any opportunity to shit on him.
We’re in the business of winning championships so I look at the long term view. That doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy the season. In addition I didn’t say LeBron is washed or that we should trade him, I’m just saying it concerns me. What’s the problem with that? I can’t have my own feelings about it?
How come no one ever says his current age? Every single podcast since he turned 40 is like “he’s almost 41” as if being 40 isn’t crazy enough lmao
Since he was like 36 people have been saying “he’s nearly 40”
I mean his birthday is this month
LeBron is basketball and I’ll take that to my fucking grave
Incredible ambassador for the sport and a legitimate role model, despite all the frothy haters that come out the woodwork anytime there’s a hint of a scandal.
Mind boggling how grounded he’s been for this long considering he was a household name as a senior in high school.
If your biggest scandal is not standing up to the fucking CCP - you’re good in my books. Better man have kowtowed to weaker powers. And I say this as someone who lived in HK.
Lebron is love
LeLive LeLaugh LeLove
LeBron is old
20+ years of watching greatness. I’m not ready for it to end anytime soon, but it will 😢

LeBron really ended his untouchable streak in the perfect way man. Against LeBronto, people calling him. a statpadder, saying he only cared for the streak, and that he is selfish. Instead he made the game winning play
Potentially legacy defining moment
He literally is a statpadder. He just played like ass on offense and couldn’t buy a bucket. He got blocked by Barnes 2 possessions before the game winner. He played down 25 against the suns in garbage time to make sure he scored his 10 points. Nobody cares about stats more than LeBron.
keep clinging to that, no one will agree with you from here on out champ
You okay pal?
Yes I speak the truth
Haha Copium. Go sniff your own farts elsewhere. You have nothing today.
Great response bronsexual. When you got nothing to respond to I guess that’s all you can say
Yeah that’s right. Lebron owned your sorry ass that’s why you mad af. Begone pest!
The truth hurts. He literally wore a shirt called “check my stats” when Kobe won a championship but sure LeBron isn’t a statpadder
You seem high strung and insecure. Are you all right?
You’re right but the Bron fans are so salty it’s over that they’re crawling like ants here lol.Jordan still clears 🤷🏽♂️
keep crying lmao
The Bron dudes are kind of sad at this point. It’s “their goat” no doubt but that’s all it is. The world moves on.
cope and seethe
Thanks for the advice. I’ll rest easy especially for you. Knowing that Kareem’s LSU kareer still made learning look dumb. Even ignoring him not even sniffing Jordan’s success.
Clearly you care about stats lol.
LeHappy for Rui
Aren’t LeAll
but i thought lebron stat pads and forces bad shots to keep this streak alive 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
He literally did, he just played one ass of a game when it came to shooting the ball. Don’t act like he wasn’t forcing shit at times before the simple easy wide open pass to Rui
He took 17 shots, perfectly normal for a 2nd option. Keep crying
No you don’t understand, after he missed a couple he should have gone straight to the bench and let Gabe Vincent be the 2nd option.
LMFAO
This is bot hate.
This doesn’t change the fact that he was doing that lol
he took 17 shots all game and had 11 assists. where exactly is the forcing
Can we just appreciate this man. Still competing in his 40s. All the other guys on the floor are 25ish.
Y’all can rank player until the end of time. He just continues to play basketball.
Can they just appreciate the other legends who have done similar things before him? Or even Steph who won the same amount of rings during the same era?
Some of us are just tired of people praising someone who’s mocked their piers then gotten beat by them, and have been handed every advantage you could imagine and still fallen short of his contemporary legends kobe/ Jordan etc. he did his time. It was fun. It’s over. Downvote me. But face the truth.
Only the GOAT could have haters this dedicated lmao
they’re obsessed!
Only weird ESPN cult followers would be d riding this hard when watching the dude fail to meet every expectation possible . (I can spell that sentence out slowly for you if you need).
No thanks, you can’ t even spell peers right
You root for ANT who is a the closest thing to Jordan that’s been around since the 90’s. And willfully still d riding LeBron. Sad. I love ANT because he looks like Jordan. But won’t be surprised when he leaves your trash franchise.
Talking about D riding but wont stfu about Jordan. Keep crying no one gives af about the Bald gambler.
Plus Ant thinks Bron is the GOAT. Cope!
Wait what? I bet he would because he can’t even come close to living up to Jordan’s legacy. He might as well bow down to Bron who can’t even beat curry. So glad I grew up in the 90’s instead of this Adam Silver embarrassment.
weird comment man
This sub is a bot farm and a laker sub. Lebron isn’t even confirmed as this generations goat let alone the goat.
Bots will keep farming LBJ praise on this sub until no one cares. Call it weird all you want. I’m just calling it out.
We all grew up watching an incredible basketball player and role model. Why do you come to these threads to hate, it must be exhausting. when people don’t agree they are all bots. Come on. My wife just made a joke that I have a favorite player on every team because every game I talk about how good someone is at something. You might find it more enjoyable if you tried not being such a wet blanket.
Sorry. I just went to a game last night in which I wasn’t a fan of either team to watch legends play that I hadn’t seen before.
I make that vague on purpose but I’m a huge basketball fan. And I think the LeBron hype is wildly overrated. Enjoy it if you want. No hate there. But when you start trying to compare that’s when it starts to fall apart.
“No hate here” lol, but you had to comment how overrated he is.
Sorry just call it like I see it! Do you think Curry or Jordan are overrated? And if you express that opinion do you think you should not be able to say that?
Ur such a loser man lol
Wow! What a come back! You really got me!!! lol so sad
Wait u really think I got u? Ur even dumber than I thought 🤣
Just a typical LeBron fan’s response on display. I won’t respond to this. Just leaving this for anyone reading it in the future.
ahahahahahaha
and still fallen short of his contemporary legends kobe
Lebron has more FMVP’s than Kobe. Twice as many, in fact. He has four times as many regular season MVPs.
And Jordan… figures you wouldn’t bring that up lol.
I just pointed out the one that was wrong… Also, Jordan was absolutely not a “contemporary” of LeBron’s.
Lebron has less rings than Kobe. Lebron can’t even think about touching what Jordan did. He’s not even the undisputed king of his own era. The “LeBron era” as you see it is actually the “LeBron and Curry era” as time will see it.
No, he can retire. Fuck him.
Stay mad
BLACKSAMURAI vlog broll moment right here
LeBronto finds a way to
Mj woulda dunked the ball to go up to keep his streak and then steal the inbound pass and assist for fun and then punch jj to establish dominance real alpha mentality
He passed me the ball and I shot a 3
Was a win win for him. He either hits it and they win or he misses and LBJ has extra time to score 10
Jordan to Kerr!
ToRUInto
It’s like the ending of Mr 3000
I’d fall on the floor if LeBron chest bumped me that hard lol
If Rui misses it, it would have been a bad play and LeBron would have gotten shade for not driving to the basket or taking the last shot.
I hate that with all this happiness LA Lakers is enjoying there is one Jaxson Hayes in the midst.
If Rui missed that…
Just like they drew it up
Japanese players just hate Canadian teams huh?

Tell em Stu
Lebron in Toronto nothing to see here
We used to get these LeBron moments every month, now it’s like 2-3 per year. We’re going to miss him when he’s gone
