[Highlight] LeBron flies in to steal PG’s inbound pass and ice a Lakers win
LeBron owns Paul George to an insane degree. He absolutely hates losing to him
Podcast wars
I mean maybe back to those bad ass playoff wars instead
12 years ago at the peak of the “rivalry”
The line from Nikki Minaj’s song “Only” that goes “Tell them bitches blow me, Lance Stephenson” cracks me up because Lance blowing in Lebrons ear was mainstream enough to make it into a rap song, but LeBron is still out here 10 years later.
LeBron rap references go crazy. Dude was getting name dropped in G-Unit tracks in 2003 lol
Everybody tryin’ to figure out since Kan came, who’s the rookie of the year, me or LeBron James?
The craziest part was when I was listening to Devil In A New Dress and Kanye goes “i’m the lebron of rhyme” and I’m thinking “huh, isn’t this an old album? How does he know about lebron?” And then I realised Lebron had been in the nba for 7 fucking years when Kanye released mbdtf lmao
Are you making fun of the above comments hahaha, it’s hard to tell
Lmao right? Bron was in the league since before College Dropout
Kanye goes “i’m the lebron of rhyme” and I’m thinking “huh, isn’t this an old album? How does he know about lebron?
It’s just this about an album from 2010, it feels so satirical. Like it’s a copypasta of something else.
Back in an earlier epoch…
LeBron is so resilient he’s been playing since the Cambrian, absolutely my GOAT.
nah, it’s most definitely the podcasts
Look how he audits the court before the play starts, then takes off running to intercept the ball almost simultaneously with Paul George.
He mentally read the play before it happened.
I rewatched an rewound it so many times, it seriously looks like once they started moving he already figured out the play
I remember podcast anecdotes that players shared about LeBron calling out the other team’s plays, and it looks like we saw that in action right here
In his podcasts he’s being trolled for just saying “yeah” all day, but man, when you see him in game, no doubt that brain is the fastest in the west. God really made a human purely for basketball with pr training
what’s crazy that he just responds with yep yep yep so people thought it was just one of those “pretending you’re listening” thing, but then he answered everything perfectly.
LeBBIQ
yeah he doesn’t have the same speed he used to have but makes up for it by committing to that steal really early.
Bron read the play as soon as he realized a screen was coming
Guy actually just has a mind for the game. Knew the pass was coming and goes for it before the pass is even made.
Nah look at demar derozen record against LeBron it’s bad
34-12 is both very bad & also somehow not as bad as I expected
I raise you Kemba Walker vs Lebron record.
Jeff Teague though. Counting post-season bro was 5-33 against LeBron, including being swept 3 times.
Teague never won a playoff game against Bron.
Is that’s why he’s always hating on his show lol.. I’d have a grudge too can’t lie lol
See for yourself. 33-5. 12-0 in the playoffs. Teague himself said once on his podcast ‘it aint for me to beat this (n-word)’
Games Played Between LeBron James and Jeff Teague https://share.google/3IEqBOqPrXjkVCgme
Thank god Teague got a chip. Because he would surely be one of the sad boys Lebron ran though if he didn’t at least come up with something before he retired. Because he’s definitely not HOF.
Got his A on the group project. 😉
I mean thats partly due to the strength of Teague’s teams… lets say that if he was the backup PG of Steph Curry during the KD warriors era, Teague’s record would look so much better.
Yeah Kemba Walker only won 1 game against LeBron but he was in some horrendously bad Hornets teams.
It didn’t help that Kemba’s prime was short, the injuries piling up on a short player like him caused his body to break down by the time he joined a good team(The C’s)
Wasn’t he the PG when they won like 66 games and had 5 all stars in one season?
He dapped him up once in 2012 and spent the next 12 years just regularly shitting on him.
That Clippers dunk is a perfect example
Paul George boomed him before Tatum did
LeYouthfulVigor really turned it around today! /s
Can’t wait to find out what he’s out for next.
Presbyopia?
Hypertension?
Ostheoperosis?
(knock on wood ofc tho lol)
i mean.. PG is only available like, 12% of the time so
A motivated LeBron is still a different beast.
Tonight felt casual as hell. He was just moving more like himself
He’s still ramping up
I literally commented yesterday he’s going to have a game like this and we’ll be like “oh, sorry.” I still had replied saying nah he’s washed.
Part of it’s ramping up for sure. But part of being old is also we’re going to see some nights where he looks like he did 5 years ago (when, for the record, he was already old for an NBA player), but other nights he just won’t have it athletically and take longer to recover between games. Curry has been that way for a few years now.
The big thing Lebron has going for him if he can stay healthy is that he knows his body as well as any player ever, and on night he doesn’t have any burst, he can turn into an old-school point guard dishing to Luka and Reaves. I’m excited to see him once he’s fully ramped back up, and fingers crossed he stays healthy for a while.
Same animal, different beast
I know exactly what that means Kobe
You’re welcome
and this sub claimed Bron does not play defense anymore but he just orchestrated the team here
Speed, vert, recovery time might’ve all declined, but Bron has always had elite BBIQ. And it’s aging like fine wine
I’m cutting him a lot of slack. He’s just trying to get to the playoffs.
Was moving like the Terminator tonight shifting gears and never wasting any movement lol
God I love this man
Im going to be so sad when he retires man.
At least we still have 5+ years left with him in the league
And then his 6MOTY-Prime kicks in
I know that’s a joke but imagine long he could actually play like that
Legit he might be able to do it till 50.
The fuckery will continue
I’ll miss him when he runs for mayor of Toronto…
We’ll all be long gone by then.
That’ll be a rough week for me ngl
Yeah man end of an era.
Lelove
“wait, i own this dude”
LeDementia remembered it’s on sight mid game.
lol oh lawd
He was moving different (the same) tonight
Felt like he was playing last game in Philly or maybe trying read too much into it
If that’s the case he would have absolutely played in Boston 2 nights ago
Yeah Philly doesn’t have any real significance to LeBron’s career at all so he’s not going to rest specifically to go all out for his last game in Philly
Like I can’t even remember any real notable LeBron moments being against the 76ers lol probably because they were tanking throughout most of his peak
Bron has his hatred of Paul George
Passed Kobe in scoring and we know what happened after.
There was that time sixers fans thought he might sign with them before he signed with the lakers
Sigh
He’s not gonna pass up a farewell tour
Quick trip to turkey?
For his hair lol?
He’s ramping them up lol
He knew exactly what was gonna happen lol damn Sixers got read
reminds me of Demar’s story on JJ reddick’s podcast about how he would call out their plays before they would happen in Toronto, and even tell opposing players when they arent where they need to be lmao
Turns his head at Grimes for a split second and instantly reacts to steal it
Redick
Re-dick
I’m ready for the LeBron player -> Coach -> GM -> Owner evolution. Then the game is just changed to LeBron-ball
Such a great play he even hides in the crowd for a moment so trigger man loses track of him
Honestly I think they thought lebron would drop to cover embiid which lebron does for a moment.
But he also recognizes that Austin’s man is in his blind spot and once he moves forward lebron does too.
Lebron literally planted his foot and took his first step to make the steal WHILE Austin’s man is making his own first step.
He immediately recognized that the play would not be for embiid and realized he was a decoy.
The moment he saw Embiid setting up screen for Grimes, that made it obvious for Lebron that the play is for him (Grimes). Look at how he reacted once he saw Joel set that screen up (not even fully set-up, preparing for screen), he immediately sprinted onto Grimes and knew the ball was coming.
Sixers got read
Like a children’s playbook goddamn
year 23 lebron is our best defender still
Ayton was phenomenal tonight. Wild thing to say. He’s been pretty good all year.
Yeah the difference between him and Hayes is pretty severe
Sure but Hayes put in very solid minutes tonight like he has basically all year
He’s fine on offense, he cannot stop fouling on D though.
Actually he has improved significantly on that end too, but he just gets a bad whistle.
If you watch the games you can see that he gets called for marginal contact plays that most other players get away with.
He has been extremely solid as a backup center playing about 16 minutes. Cleaned up lot of dumb plays, learned to kick out to open man/cutters when defences collapse to cut off his roll even.
Center defense is not Lakers problem. It’s everything else - POA and perimeter.
Jax has been quite good as a backup.
His fouls aren’t egregious usually. He’s a big man and people are used to Anthony Davis.
He’s no AD, but he does a surprisingly good job at defending and I was honestly impressed by his perimeter defense tn
Hayes honestly isn’t even terrible, but he’s one of those “all or nothing” players.
He’s either going to let to shot go or he’s going to destroy it.
So 95% of the time he will either have a great stop or a foul
With Smart in cryosleep ya
never taking LeBron for granted man
LeRead&React
LeCloser
PG plays catch with his Dad
40 years old and still one of the fastest on the court
It wasn’t even his speed that made the difference here, his BBIQ to read the play and position himself there is phenomenal.
BAAAAAAAA 🐐🐐🐐
Read the play like a book
First page of a book you could even say
LeNostradamus only needs the introduction.
Is Lebron ever going to be ass?
I think his ass game frequency will be increased like in every 5 games. But also will drop 30-40 randomly in every 5 games as well.
So every playoff series has to go at least 5+, Adam Silver wins again
Maybe if you say “please”
no
Leclutch
No ot tonight
He read that perfectly. He knew what they are running.
King at 23!
23 at 23
Death, taxes, LeBron James.
Bron haters are quiet tonight.
LeBron is inevitable.
Time to start a new streak
we start with- “Players who are 40 years old and scored 10 or more points.”
His consecutive games with 10+ in a major stat streak is still alive.
Terrible ATO
Almost 2026 and LeBron still better than PG 😭
nothing changes really
LeSteal
He knew exactly what was going to happen lol. BBIQ off the chart.
Lebron is my fucking goat. I don’t care what anyone says about anything!
He might be the GOAT when all is said and done.
People are saying he’s not as good but he’s still incredibly good. He just dropped 30.
He’s clearly working his way back into game shape and even still has shown moments of greatness. He’s 40 years old the man is insane
PG doing the Lakers a solid once again
It’s so insane that he’s STILL this good, like actually mind boggling
Read that like a book
3rd option AR back to reality
The way he just swoops in and steals the ball is so tuff
His instincts are still second to none
LeHoudini
You telling me this guy had arthritis yesterday?
100% he recognized the play they were running. You could see that he saw that shit coming from a mile away.
Bad Pass P
LeVision
In the post-game LeBron said they run plays like this at practice. Never knew you Basketball had defensive sets
LeInterceptor
Not on the vintage Philly court
luka and lebron both read the play and step up at the same time, which helps to hide lebron from PG’s line of sight. (lebron is also hidden behind laravia and edgecombe at the start of the play)
so from PGs POV he probably couldn’t see lebron at all when he threw the pass - you can see him go ‘OH SHIT’ as soon as the ball leaves his hand cuz thats when he finally sees lebron sprinting out to intercept, funny af
Appreciate the goatness. Man we got spoilt.
MJ -> Kobe -> Lebron
LeWatchedFilms
Paid-off Pee, paying off!
Wait, PG is still playing?
LeThief
LeMrStealYoBall
LeFakeOut
“Throws it in the hands of LeBron” is straight disrespectful.
PG has earned over 400M in his career….unbelievable
There’s no way LeBron didn’t know exactly what was drawn up on this play lol
Lmfao he knew exactly what the action was going to be
Watching him read this play is so interesting
Not that I understand what he read that lead him to conclude the pass
But you can tell he’s reading and concluding
That such a lazy pass. He gesture and winded up to throw it. LeBron just too good for that shit.
I imagine Paul didn’t enjoyed being relegated into the off bound guy
❤️
I thought this was a throwback game for a sec
Bald George
PG’s LeDaddy
Pod P has More Important Things to Do
Game
New 10+ pt streak starts now
Unc in action
This should always be the Sixers court
Lebum
Man sees other man open for pass, steals it.
Heritage
Hell of a weekend in that arena
LeRest
LeSneakattack
LeFuckery continues
Even pulled a LePrank there at the end.
He remembered he’s LeBron
lol Paul George.
Poor kid never had a chance. Bron has for sure seen that movie more times Nick Nurse has.
He saw the play happen before it even started.
PG didn’t want OT so he threw it to LBJ
Court looks great
LeAwareness
LeInterception
Miami bron?
MJ would’ve hit a LeFuckYou3…
Ladron James
LeInbound Pass
I wish he would have taken that steal straight to a dunk!
Podcast Pete
Damn couple of years ago he would have been out in the steal lmaooo age showing ! Still balling thiugh
That’s just 20+ years experience. Smart play.
No OT tonight.
Nah fuck that.
He’s like fucking 50 dude, either the government experimented with his dna or LeHGH
No amount of kale smoothie is making grandpa move like the fucking flash like that. I don’t care that he injects 5 million dollars of raw, shredded cash into his body each year. That shit is not normal bro.
lol do yall hear the crowd pop when he stole the ball 😭😭
No way this guy could’ve sniffed a football gridiron
Read that like a 📕
