it’s so wild how LeBron is discussed in comparison to even other greats

Steph for example had a negative on-off like a year or two ago, was averaging 26/5/5 on elite shooting, no one was like yeah he’s not that guy still, cause we all have eyes and can understand team context

LeBron did 30/8/6 on elite shooting the year prior to that, had a negative, but people were legit like eh he’s not a winning player really anymore

If you have RES, those threads are a gift for tagging people who know absolutely nothing 

Was the eagerness to declare that they would never make it work that got me. Zero patience to just let it play out

Remember when it was cold and people were saying “it’s cold”, but now when the temperature is high, they don’t say it anymore? Crazy times we live in.

I think AR is at his best when he isnt looking to score. Although he is the best 2nd scoring option on the team right now, how he tries to affect the game when he is struggling to score is very noticeable. Its something hes improved in from last year, as last year if he wasnt scoring as much, he would kind of become invisible. But now he puts pressure on the defense and makes great plays, and his passing this year has been amazing. Still if the Lakers want to win anything, he needs to make his shots.
