LeBron misses out on being the Oldest players to get a 30 point triple double would have overtaken himself, himself, himself, himself, himself, himself, himself and himself
Who’s after himself (x8)?
Lol @ me not paying attention. Didn’t even realize the text had a link in it.
Kobe. 2 more and he owns the top 10. Which would be Gretzky levels of insane
Honestly he probably gets there before his career is over. Doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon, can easily see him get 2 triple doubles between this season and next
Super washed /s
ain’t he
He heard all the nephews talking shit
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
Himself is super goated. Why I’ve never heard of him before?
LeHimself
he’ll still have a chance to beat himself again.
feels like any night he could beat himself and we wouldn’t look away.
no we dont look away when he’s beating himself.
we are all witnesses
LeHims
When you beat yourself that many times, it’s just basically masturbation at that point.
Wow. Unless you’re LeBron you’re pretty much washed after the age of 36. Kobe is next in line.
LeBron is now 48-19 vs the Hawks in his career. He absolutely owns us.
LeBronta before LeBronto.
Long live the 2015 Hawks
2009 lebron vs atlanta is one of the unironical goat series

He’s 50-8 against Charlotte hahaha
There was a point in time where he was like 29-0 against Kemba walker
Teague remembers
One of the funniest moments ever.
“This is our year” - Teague to Kyrie in Game 1 before the Cavs swept us 😂
“WE GOOD!” Lebron while down 20+ at the half in Game 1 en route to sweeping the Hawks, Teague still got nightmares about Lebron switching on him lmao
You’ve got your wires crossed, that was when Teague was on the pacers
I miss thosw hawks.. in early 2009
Joe, smith, al horford, crawford, biby, pachulia
I remember watching the best Hawks team constructed in the modern era then playoffs came and LeBron just said nope
LeATLien
67 games in 23 years seems incredibly low
67 games against Atlanta. Wild how he has played enough games against single teams to make one award eligible season. He’s played the Pistons 66 times. And obviously if he had stayed out East it’d be even crazier numbers.
To be fair the hawks are typically always hot garbage as an organization
That’s the fucking GOAT
Woah, a Denver fan giving him the flowers?
We need it, considering our own fanbase be disrespecting him the most.
Lakers fans, warriors fans, and luka fans forming an alliance against old man LeBron
I’m just saying the truth, they’re his flowers to take 🤷
Untill it gets passed to jokic in 10 years
Wemby*
Because he aint kobe.(read up what kobe did in 2003 Edwards Colorado)
[removed]
Lol I think u didn’t understand the joke. Lebron is getting is flower from a DENVER fan because he isn’t KOBE
I can’t even lie dude even I misunderstood that
Yea it was my fault for phrasing it that badly
I was like…Nuggets fan rooting for Kobe?
Lmao I guess the joke was too cryptic.
you should know that better than anyone else
Insane comment considering what Kobe did in your state in 2003
That’s exactly what I meant lol
He’s not Kobe, he’s better
Kobe ain’t even close to lebron, but the reason the guy is giving him flowers is because lebron is not Kobe, considering what Kobe did in 2003 colorado. That’s what I meant by he ain’t kobe
Oh I got you, I missed the subtext and just assumed you were trying to argue that Kobe was better
I have several functioning braincells, of course I think bron is better. Kobe is a hell of a player but he aint bron. I thought it was a kinda funny joke that ppl misinterpreted 😭
He has been consistently great since his 10-point streak is broken. 41 years old with such carry job
he broke that streak on his own terms and had to remind people he’s still LeBron James. imagine him in his prime right now.. he would put the entire association to the sword.
As good as second stint Cleveland LeBron was, mannnn if that Heatles Bron was out there right now shit would be so over.
Any pre-Lakers Lebron and this team is competitive with OKC. Heatles Bron and they’re the best team in the league. Imagine Luka throwing lobs to him
Pre-Solomon Hill bron and they are the second seed
Peak bron on this team goes to 10 straight finals
Peak bron in today’s league is just a cheat code.
I know MJ would as well but we have literal evidence of this guy at 41 years still dominating on both ends.
The spacing he would be having and him being an absolute menace of 2-way player and his durability?
That play to Rui was one of my favorite sports moments. Not a big game, not a serious stat, just a cool ballin moment to sum it up.
Which prime? First, second or seventh?
He always dominates in B2Bs.
41 years old man, that’s an inspiration I wanna be like that at 41!
At 41 idk if I’ll even be able to do a B2B for my desk job
Made me lol
One rebound away from being the oldest dude to record a triple double, and he did it so dominantly too. His shot selection has to be the greatest in NBA history for him to do what he’s been doing. Unreal player.
One rebound away from being the oldest dude to record a triple double
Hes already the oldest dude lol
[deleted]
Not even all the top 10, what a bum
That’s specific to a 30 point triple double
Karl Malone has one older than Bron
You’re right my bad. He does have the next 15 though
Karl Malone is the oldest
Next 15? LeBron, LeBron, LeBron, LeBron, LeBron, LeBron, LeBron, LeBron, LeBron, LeBron, LeBron, LeBron, LeBron, LeBron, and…. LeBron
no it’s real Clarence, it’s damn real
Subbed himself out for bronny - my GOAT
“You got it from here, kid”
Best player on the Lakers
Best lob threat
Best cutter
Best defender
Best distributer
Best downhill threat
When people say things like “they could do so much with Lebrons salary”… this is the type of chit I say back
He’s literally the only/best Laker in so many categories still
You’re not gonna find the same level of production by simply splitting up his salary to a couple guys
Those people are gonna whine so much when LeBron gets replaced by “DeAndre Hunter” or someone of that caliber
For real. It’s not like SGA is walking through that door when Bron’s salary clears. You still have to find talent worth that salary, and it’s not easy to sign free agents outright in today’s NBA.
Best lob threat at 41 when we have a 7 footer is so stupid
Ehh it’s gotta be Hayes, he has his issues but god damn can he get up for a big guy.
It’s def Hayes. Bron is easily second though.
Ayton isn’t really a lob threat like that especially when it comes to Luka
Has been for the last month and a half, eye test and stats both agree
Doing this at age 41 Lebron is built different
GOAT BAAAAAAAAAAA
Never thought I’d see LeBron and Kobe on the same team tn
He may not have gotten the triple double but he does get a 50 pts+reb+assists game:
Why not let him get the triple double for the history of th sport
I doubt LeBron cares anymore about that
He has the all-time scoring record and recently his 10 point streak got broken now there aren’t really any individual records on his mind
I’m sure he doesn’t but every statistical achievement he gets is for the books at this point. Who knows when he can get this close to a triple double again
2 games ago he was also just 1 rebound away, I think it will come naturally at some point. No need to risk anything
Him and Luka really go neck and neck at almost triple doubles. LeBron usually missing out on boards. I wonder how much brons output will change once reeves comes back.
he can still retire no. 2 on the assists list realistically.
Because he already owns the record and it’s pretty meaningless at this point to put more wear and tear on his body for no reason. This was a back to back game and he’s 41 years old
Probably in Cryo tube as we speak
7 virgins had already been lowered into volcanoes before the end of the 3rd
Our hearts go out to those reddit posters.
He subbed himself out, he immediately fouled after he shot his FT
Point center LeBron is such a treat to watch
Remember when he had like two bad games to start the season and people thought he was washed
Still owns the Hawks…
Goat
WASHED KING 👑
Wtf
Look what can happen when you take a risk on a G league player.
Why is a 41 year old playing 33 minutes in a 25-point blowout?
The Hawks made a big run and got the lead back down to 11…. Then LeBron checked back in, threw some dimes, made some shots, Luka made a couple, and then the Lakers ran away with it
Unreal tbh
After how the Laker fanbase has treated him this season, He should say bye to the lakers and sign for the veteran minimum with either the Thunder, Spurs, or Nuggets so he can knock the lakers out of the playoffs for the next few years
sign for the veteran minimum with either the Thunder, Spurs, or Nuggets
There is no chance that Lebron at his age would move his family to a place like Oklahoma to play off the bench for a minimum contract.
There are 16 players above 50m and 28 above 40m this year. LeBron is the 14th highest paid player at 52m.
He’s easily top 30 in the regular season and there are maybe 5 players who could be better than LeBron in a single game if he played at his current peak. Yes, he’s worth the max.
