Hopefully by the time he retires they will have cloned him and we’ll have a full team of Lebrons.

That crowd knows that what they’re watching is legendary

I can’t believe he might be gone after next season…

I’m gonna take the whole week of his last game off to emotionally prepare.

Even if he retires, there will still be a LeBron James in the league

:)

Depth isn’t good enough

Yep, it’s basically our Secret Sauce. But if the game’s not close, everyone decides it’s not worth fighting for anymore and the team just drops dead pathetically, lol.

luka/lebron teams the past like 5-6 years have went over their expected w/l and it’s all cause these dudes, no matter what their shooting %s in the clutch say, are problem solvers

if the game is close, they will win it most likely

but the games that are not close, they’ll be blown out cause the team defensively isn’t there

Lebron had to be tired because this cut down the middle was there all game he kept pissing me off just standing in no mans land on offense. When he finally decided to cut at full speed this is what happened.

Because we have the worst bench in the league, that non Lebron-Luka mins are so ass. Losing Austin, which raises the bar in every area (yes, even defense because we’re bad) is a huge loss too.

In the clutch it usually does, it’s just the team doesn’t always play with effort early in games and that’s how they go down 10+ so quickly at times. But JJ is learning some new things with the rotation, the Lebron + bench lineups always dominate and Drew Timme has been really good in his minutes so far.

Reaves should be back soon tho, and I’m assuming he’ll replace smart so I’m curious how they’ll hold up defensively cause smart has been awesome on that end

LeBron is 50

Bron/AR/Luka is insane offensively. Just haven’t been healthy together much yet

The explanation is that the man is old and can’t move like this more than maybe 4-5 times per game. It’s why the point differential and clutch time record stuff is such a dumb narrative this year; bottom line is LBJ is going to spare himself if he feels like the game is out of reach. As a Lakers fan I am frustrated by this, but as a fellow old man I totally understand where he’s coming from.

Takes a lot of effort, esp defensively, so they can’t do so on both ends

Also the bench is atrocious on both ends

They still don’t believe someone his size can move so fast.

Deceptively athletic

He has great timing, he noticed gordan wasn’t paying attention and just cut super hard and there’s just no way for players to react in time

Tbf, his timing on those has always been elite.

When your choice is to double Luka 6 feet outside the arc, then the rest of your D better be awake.

Can’t be Lebron without it

Lebron James has had very productive conversations with father time.

I was listening to the Nuggets radio guy on XM during this highlight bc I was driving and he was getting more miserable as the game came to an end and he goes “LeBron slams and flexes for the crowd.” Then as sarcastically as possible: “Good job, LeBron.” lol he was so mad.

If he was 31 the Lakers would be the funniest team of all time. The best player in the league, like another MVP level dude and some mega bums(AR is injured still)

Edit: lol I swear to god this comment said 31 at first

Never gets old… just like LeBron

I keep forgetting his name, but he’s quickly become the signature of the Peacock coverage. I love his voice, quickly became my fave after our own guys.

Love how he stayed quiet after the call and let it linger there, made the moment more awesome than it was.

To be fair most Lakers home games have turned into clout chaser meet-ups

Nope he definitely is. Lebron usually takes time to get his legs under him and timing right heading into a season. Obviously with each passing year it takes longer.

I was gonna say the same. Electric call

Vince at 40 years old and Vince at 42 years old

He was doubled and all his teammates were missing shots?
