LeBron in the win- 29/7/6 on 12⁄17 FG and 4⁄6 3FG
He also went nuclear in the clutch.
https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/401810217
Best part was the Philly crowd cheering him on
Raptors crowd too a couple days ago. Feels like an early retirement tour, probably will get cheered on most arenas
Everyone trying to talk him into retiring
I for one hope he plays until he’s 45.
If he doesn’t retire with us, I want it to be with y’all. You guys deserve it more than anyone
He has rings for both companies, I would rather have him at LA!
I want him to do a half stint in Miami before retiring with Curry on the Cavs. Akron boys need to come home.
Nahhhh. Miami got their chance. Riley screwed him. Now that the Lakers has new owners, it improves the chances to have a better FO and roster too. I’m pretty sure they love LeBron to be around till the end of his career in the NBA - which is to have rings with Luka and Giannis
Imagine Pat Riley taking cookies away from a 45 year old man
Nah they don’t. He won the city a championship and his commitment to Cleveland is done. The city and fans trashed his name and burned his jersey for going to Miami knowing he wanted to stay in Cleveland but the organization refused to make signings to build the roster to get him help for a deep finals run
I feel like LeBron is going to sign one more team friendly 1 year deal this offseason and then it’ll he his retirement tour next year with the Lakers.
His retirement tour will be huge
When you care about the sport you can appreciate witnessing something great
But - Kobe’s from Philly, there’s a lot of Kobe turned lakers fans in Philly.
Our fill-in commentator MT said it was 60% Lakers fans in the building tonight. Definitely an electric crowd.
You mean the Laker crowd*, don’t think it was a Philly crowd
Lebron saw that “27/7/7 is in jeopardy” post and took it personally
I feel like he’ll do that stats in his last game just to break internet
I wanna see him break the assist record in his last game.
In what universe is this realistic 💀
I think they mean most assists in a single game. Either that or they’re just delusional lol
The gap is something nuts right? He’s about to hit second but Stockton’s still got almost 4k assists on 2nd place… I’d love for the fuckery to continue long enough for this to be a remote possibility but, cmon man xD
Single game record. Although it doesn’t make it much more realistic.
At this point he’s holding 27/7/7 hostage just to keep the meme alive 💀
Hes gonna get it in his last game.
And that will be the last game of a final.
I’m Out of the loop. What is the meme?
That statline is called the Lebron statline because his career average is 27/7/7. Somehow he’s never gotten that exact statline though, so a 27/7/7 game is called a Lebron game but he himself has never had a Lebron game.
Closest was a random blowout game where he had the statline, then chucked a LeFuckYou 3 in garbage time to lose it I think
Been saying gotta give LeBron at least 10 games before calling him washed as a 40 year old man. Even Luka got that courtesy last year when he came back from his injury and he doesn’t have LeBron’s mileage
I’d go as far as to say you should give him an entire season before calling him washed. But Lebron’s always been judged to a different standard, he doesn’t even get the courtesy of having a bad game without being called washed
I agree.. been saying this. Wait till the 2nd of season to Judge The King
Hes always saved himself for the playoffs since 2nd cav era
Never bet against Bron, last year he looked awful for a stretch, then for the rest of the season, he was great and almost made 1st team again.
If it wasn’t for the groin injury I think he for sure makes 1st team and the series with the wolves is probably a bit more competitive (but still lose)
If he can peak in the playoffs … look out
want to see one more lebron vs curry playoff series
A playoff series where LeBron’s team are not a massive underdog vs Curry who doesn’t have a superior team? That’s not possible
2023…
I’ll get technical here Golden State were still favorites lmao, yeah i get it not massive favorites but they were the odds favorites and the defending champs
Them being defending champs and the Lakers not making the playoffs the year before made GSW huge favorites
I read this thrice wondering why you’ll get a technical 😂😂
And we saw how that one went.
That would be fire 🔥
I peaked watching his performance in the 4th
lol well played
I guess 27/7/7 is never gonna happen 😔
bro just saving it for his last game
LeBron has scored over 10,000 more regular season points than Michael Jordan
LeBron with 42,297 regular season points
Jordan with 32,292 regular season points
Yea but LeBron was all-nba calibre at 19 and 39 while Jordan wasn’t so it’s just LoNgEvItY
King type shit
in due time my g, in due time
So that guy that scored less than 10 wasnt actually Lebron? I mean i wasnt at the game how do we know the whole game, which took place in CANADA….wasnt just AI generated!?!?!
Canada is AI generated.
That’s eh-I to you bud
We live in a simulation confirmed
Can confirm
Bronny in a bald cap
Unreal being able to do that at 40.
Esp when you see CP3, who is also 40 years old, actually look like a 40 year old man when he plays.
to be fair, chris paul is tiny. it’s a totally different game
That is fair, but also, it was really popular early in LeBron’s career to say he would have a steep drop off bc he relied on athleticism and wasn’t always a plus shooter. Paul’s game, on the other hand, aged like fine wine as was expected. If you told people 10-15 years ago that 40 year old Bron would be a 40% 3 point shooter I think they would’ve laughed at you.
At the same time, he’s still the lakers’ best fast break player which is just stupid but athletically hindered LeBron is still a specimen
Yeah, LeBron is soooo athletically gifted it’s insane. Young Bron would only be challenged by Amen and Ausar right now when it comes to that, and even there, I have him above them overall.
Even at 40, he is almost unstoppable in transition. That doesn’t make sense.
Shout out to the dudes telling me on reddit yesterday that he looks slow and tired
he probably will look slow and tired next game. hes 64 years old
next game will be the oldest he’s ever been
He did look slow and tired, that’s not a crazy take?
Man no way am i gonna have to repeat this argument. He was looking completely fine athletically (as in, no different from last year, if anything better) the last few games. Anyone who says otherwise either has faulty eyes or faulty memory.
Idk man last game he was really struggling to get any lift on his shots and falling short of the rim on his first few layup attempts
I don’t think it’s crazy to say he was moving significantly better tonight than he was last game
Last game as in against the Raptors? I watched that game start to finish and he was showing a huge amount of burst and acceleration.
nah he’s moving normal lol, even today his head is exactly where it was last season
He was getting to the rim at will, just wasn’t able to finish. The important part here is the fact that he was getting to the rim that quickly and easily in the first place.
clutch after clutch after clutch after clutch man regained his powers after sacrificing his all time consecutive 10-point historic record.
Oh my god so close to 27/7/7
If he gets an assist instead on that last pull-up middy it’s a 27/7/7 game lol
LeTease
Wow. LeBron saved my marriage
UP UP and AWAY!! SUPER WASHED Ain’t He??!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤷🏾♂️. Stay low and keep firing! The air up there is a tad bit different. LIVE.LAUGH.LOVE #striveforgreatness🚀 #thekidfromakron👑 #jamesgang👑 #bronknows
The dumb thing is his bad games are gonna come more often and more frequently. And his haters will pounce on every single one of them like it’s not completely fucking absurd that every good game this dude has defies basically everything we know about the human body.
Surprised this took so long to post, now we just need the “super washed” comment
The fuckery will continue
LeWashedKing
WASHED????
GOAT
How you go from sciatica one day to dropping 30 the next day? Bro is not human
He really sacrificed the 10-point streak just to unlock 40-year-old clutch god mode.
i thought he was washed?
he is second most clutch player in nba history for a reason
Lebum
I can’t believe the Lakers are relying on a 40 year old 😂😂
This was literally the first game where he returned to his usual form wtf lmao
Yes I’m saying without him today y’all would be losing games
“Without your best third player you’d lose” isn’t really a gotcha
tbf OKC had been killing w/o their second best player for a hot minute this season. And now they’re violating Jazz without SGA.
OKC is the exception not the rule. Take out the third best player on the other 29 teams then winning becomes a lot harder
Good point. Raptors lost RJ and we’ve been free falling. OKC is a different beast.
Also this is Lebrons first real good game all season and we’re the 2nd seed. Saying we’re relying on him is silly
Your third best player being 40 is tho… Also what did your second best player do today?
You keep saying that while ignoring WHO that 40 yr old is lmao
I know who he is that’s why I said y’all rely on him. If he wasn’t playing tonight y’all lose
Well he is making like 40 million he gotta play like that
We’re 6-1 in games he’s played and this is the first game we’ve really “needed” him. AR just had an off night.
I guess sorry we aren’t all super stacked like okc?
Lmao y’all lakers fans are too much man. Enjoy your win bud
Bruh you’re the one who came in here talking shit. I know you just want us to glaze your king and team lmao
It’s ok buddy Luka or LeBron aren’t winning MVP. SGA got it in the bag 💪
This is sad behavior mad just let it go
Let what go ?
A 40 year old with more rings than your team 😂
Bro he’s just vibing in the comments. Why are you getting pressed?
Ok?
and this isn’t a regular 40 year old its the 1st or 2nd best player all time. saying we relied on him is funny. ayton balled out luka did and the rest of the team. ar was the one who had a stinker and we still won .
Brother LeBron is my goat I know.. Luka was 9⁄24 tonight…
still controlled the game and help win the game for us . half of the lebron shots in the clutch was cause Luka got blitzed did you watch or are you just trolling on reddit.
Luka had a triple double… you are just hating
Luka got a 30 pt triple double and the starters were all double digits? The bench being ass isn’t relying on just LeBron
brother do u not get tired of camping out in Laker threads to talk shit? is your team really that boring?
Na this game is boring as we are destroying the jazz :(
kinda sad that your team is putting up a masterclass without your star player out there and you think it’s boring. must suck to be that miserable.
Are you trolling or are you lashing out? Why are the OKC thunder fans so insecure.
Yall won the title. What’s going on? You should be worried about the fella wreaking havoc on the mvp ladder with a worse record but instead you are here.
Being the ultimate fanboy.
But not for SGA. For Luka. It’s kinda crazy.
Because if you truly believed SGA is a better player you wouldn’t even be here.
And now I feel sad for you.
I’m sorry!
I mean it’s a lauri less jazz.. not that serious bud. Trolling insecure lakers is just more fun
“trolling insecure lakers fans is more fun”ah okay you should have said you’re 12 years old sooner, that adds up
JJ Reddick has been able to get some surprisingly good defense out of guys
Oh man, SGA’s MVP chances took a hit with his team not needing him to steamroll the Jazz.
Yes he is not going to win it now. I’m sad.
