[Highlight] Luka to LeBron clutch alley-oop vs Rockets
Ooof that shoulder to the head and still have the mental clarity to make the play. Real game speed and angle would have been hard to notice.
Really highlights how much these players get hit which we don’t normally notice, especially the star players who are guarded even more tightly
Physicality in the NBA is insane. Imagine being Rob Dillingham 170 lbs soaking wet and getting screened by like LeBron lmao
I rewarched the live play and it looked nothing but watching this.. Ouch.
Luka has now leapfrogged Jokic in the MVP ladder in my eyes. He’s #3 right now. What he’s done with the Lakers who aren’t as stacked as the Nuggets is more impressive than what Joker has done.
#3??? Are you kidding me, how is he not #1 at worst #2.
SGA and wemby are having amazing seasons and thier teams are doing better
Luka is having a better session than Wemby and their teams are waaaaaay better than the Lakers.
The gap between Wemby and Luka on defense is way bigger than Luka and Wemby on offense.
I disagree. Does Wemby gets double/triple team at the half court? His defense is a generational but his offense is shaky. Also, I’d like to see how he looks during the playoffs. They have zero playoff experience and rookie coach so will have to see.
I do think Luka is a much better offensive player. But I think Wemby is still like top 30 arguably even top 20 offensively while Luka at best is just a slightly above average defender (who becomes a lot worse later in the game when he’s winded from offensive effort).
I don’t disagree but like I said I need to see how he performs during the playoffs when defense tighten up and team can focus on 1 team during the series.
Just look at Thunder 2 seasons ago when they didn’t have much experience and how they lost to Dallas.
Spurs could get scary just like Thunders but don’t think this is gonna be the year.
I can even say if they run into the clippers with healthy Kawhi, then there is a good chance they will get upset.
It’s wild seeing how every week Luka’s reputation changes.
It goes “he’s a basketball god amongst men” to “maybe Nico was right” to “he needs to stop chirping so much and ball” to “he’s top 3 in the league”
Classic Alppy “defense”
I mean you can’t give Sengun shit here without mentioning KD as well. He’s not even kind of paying attention to LeBron, who is absolutely known for these cuts
especially when it just happened last possession
Bro LeBron head almost at the rim, crazy
Thanks Chuck
If Sengun clocks my head with his shoulder I am in hospital for a week.
LeBron is in his 40s - wtf
This dude destroyed the 00s Pistons and he can still fly through the air like that, damn.
Is he the best you’ve ever seen?
While he did fuck the pistons up, it wasn’t until 2007 and the pistons were already getting older and losing their competitive edge and hunger. That was after their back to back final runs. And like a 6 year ECF run. He doesn’t make the ECF in 2008. By 2009 the pistons started making dumb trade and roster changes.
The pistons owned the 2000s from an eastern conference point of view. LeBron dominance starts at the end of the 2000s and then carries through 2020.
The lakers are amazing right now
Where amazing happens
Someone get the piano!
This LeBron guy is nice, he’s gonna have a long career.

Carry
At what point does his hand go under the ball? lol
I don’t even bring it up because carries are constant now, but directly after the spin move is a carry
Yeah, that would not have been a legal move in past eras. He’s basically palming the ball, he has control of it, even if his hand is not underneath it.
Bro, yes, he even took like three steps. Tf is this? Hahahhahahaahhaa
