LeBron James on the Lakers injury news in the last 48 hours: “It was a shot to the heart and the chest and the mainframe with Luka … I woke up from my nap and saw that [Reaves] news and was like, ‘Shit.’”
yo Lebron naps just like me y’all
yup. I also wake up from naps and like, shit.
one of the many similarities between you and Bron
LeTwinsies
I’m also 40 and a professional basketball player computer guy.
That feeling when you wake up from a nap and you’ve got a missed call from your boss
I wake up from naps and my lifes still the same, i also say.. shit
Instant loss of respect from John Bernthal.
I understood that reference
He don’t mind if I nap, he just has better things to do.
I think about that video of him all the time. Idk why
Someone brought it up to him a couple weeks ago. Still lame
Jon Bernthal issues an apology over his aggressive anti-napping stance: “I got nothing against you if you nap… I just don’t really do that & I don’t really have time for it. I feel like you probably, I’m sorry, I feel like you probably do have something better to do than nap, but I’m sorry.”
Keep that spot warm he’s taking the all time naps list too
I recall reading somewhere he sleeps like 12 hours a day
i think you’re thinking of Koalas

Which is the one that only eats Eucalyptus leaves?
oddly enough, both
Le-ucalyptus
nah that netflix show that followed him around showed him on a pretty strict napping schedule
pretty strict napping schedule is just too funny lol
or Seth Jarvis. Same thing I guess.
Adults should have nap times
Adult naps hit different
They either leave you feeling amazing or feeling like absolute dogshit and there’s no middle ground.
im past mid 30s and never napped really ever in my life
i dont sleep at night if i nap, i sleep like SHIT my entire life and never needed a nap either
guess Built Different
ima go take a nap like a champ.
Where’s the LeJokes I was expecting? Yall LeNapping
Someone send this vid to Jon Bernthal
I was just thinking that.
Now I can say “I’m closer to LeBron than you are to me”
I’ve been napping like crazy, but only because I got mono back in February and it was so bad it almost closed my throat and I had to go to the hospital twice lol I couldn’t even drink water the hospital even called the next day after my second visit to make sure I was doing okay lol
Sad, probably Lebrons last real playoff run
crazy to think this post is 10 years old and he’s still out there
He’s 41 this fuckery won’t go on much longer
Inb4 brain transplants are real and Bryce vanishes one summer and is suddenly really good.
Bryce about to go to some random girl’s house in the woods and attend a weird party where Lebron shows up and starts inspecting him like at an auction
He can take Patrick William’s body rn, i volunteer him for the first LeExperiment
How about Mac McClung. Really prove he’s the real deal.

That’s what we all said 4 years ago yet…here we are…again..lol
LeRoboCop INCOMING!

They were legit looking really good too. Maybe not contenders but damn we getting robbed of what could’ve been one of the most insane 2nd round series ever
Yea they would have finished 3rd seed and pushed spurs for sure. Now they sre done and will fall to 4th. We also miss out on thunder nuggets rd 2 series as well now so okcs path is super easy
Wolves could still make things interesting.
Definitely contenders, they beat nugget rockets wolves and Knicks all in the same run. They were on an insane run.
they had no chance of beating the thunder, but anyone else they could have beat
No chance is wild, anything can happen in the playoffs. Luka already beat the thunder before in the playoffs.
Yup, sure Luka and Reaves were in the game but as we now know they were teetering on grade 2 sprains, and smart was also out. I think a full 7 game series goes very differently than okc just winning by 40 points every game, even if my money would still be on them to win.
Depends on where he is next year
Nahh he got next year
im from the future 2038 and hes still going bro
Yeah, even if we weren’t winning the ring, we could have won the first round matchup, and played a competitive second round series with the Spurs.
It’s crazy because by the end of March you could tell he was optimistic.. beginning of the year he didn’t really see it, plus he was kinda ramping up.
What you mean is his last run as a high usage player. It just depends on how he wants to retire. If he decided to take the minimum and join a contender as the 3rd-4th option then he absolutely can have a shot at a championship.
Bron sent Luka to his guys to get him on all the illegal stuff. He might come back.
Nope, my agent told me that’s he’s going to Cleveland next year
Had to be kinda devastating to have one of your last real chances at a deep playoff run end this way
He could probably join the thunder, nuggets or Celtics, if he really wanted to win another chip.
LeHardest Road
Worst thing about him retiring will be losing lejokes. They don’t even have to be good, they’re just funny to me.
LeBron ending his career as a denver nugget would be the funniest fucking thing ever and I want it so bad
Celtics would be crazier
He’s so good. He’s so good. He’s so good. He’s so good.
Definitely, especially his history with that franchise.
I think I’d puke
Meeee too
I’m manifesting it rn ✨
Playing for vet min, ‘cause that’s how we roll.
I don’t think he’ll take a low paying deal for the sake of the players association, which would be his only route to joining one of those teams.
Jays + LeBron would go insanely hard
I think the Knicks are his most desired location if he leaves. I remember that he told DWade his final season would be either in LA or The Garden.
The Garden could refer to both the Knicks or the Celtics, but I think it’s the Knicks because he wants the spotlight from NYC media.
Should probably lower his expectations and come to Miami to be the play-in champion. Much more realistic.
He could just re-up with us on a cheaper contract. Makes sense since they went on such a hot streak in March. The roster really seemed to find their collective footing together.
One of the reasons our team is ass is because our cap spending is so top heavy.
The other reasons include asset management, bad ownership, underperforming players, bad shooting, poor effort, bad defense, Gabe Vincent, Deandre Ayton for half the season, Dan Cortez.
Eh, Lakers were already a little better than the Nuggets this season until Luka/Reaves went down, and are about to massively improve the roster this offseason as one of the only teams with cap space to absorb contracts from other teams.
Definitely best chances would be with Thunder, Celtics, or Spurs though.
Thunder can’t pay him. Gunna struggle to pay who they got soon.
Yeah that’s basically the only hope for non OKC/SA teams lol. But I’m sure Presti is about to get rid of Dort this summer, some other moves, and be fine
Can they trade Dort to Antarctica?
Brother your gm is Rob Pelinka explain this “massive improvement” I wouldn’t be surprised if he just resigns everyone and calls it a day
lol he definitely doesn’t inspire confidence, I just think one of the big structural advantages LA will have (taking on 1-2 bigger contracts from teams needing to shed salary) is gonna get them good starting caliber players who fit next to Luka and AR.
I don’t think Presti would send Dort to LA but that’s an example of a player LA could get for cheap just because OKC will prob need to shed salary this summer and there’s few teams even able to take it on.
I would love to see Luka competing with a competent roster but I just have zero faith that’s happening
Keep him away lol. We don’t want to bring bronny in, axe Daigneault, or build a cryo chamber for LeBron.
You could tell he really was starting to believe in this team in March. Shit is deflating
Watching the Lakers have a healthy contender roster for the first time in years and seeing the momentum build up in March just for it to all explode right before when it matters most is insane. I’m not much of a Lakers fan but I do miss LeBron a lot as a Cavs fan and seeing it end like this is painful. Years of injuries on AD and the Solomon Hill special followed up with this? So fucked up man, he deserves another real playoff run before it’s all said and done.
he can get that in Cleveland
Bron getting PTSD flashbacks from 2015 playoffs
Yeah, he’s no stranger to his co-stars getting injured, but it must suck extra because back then he could at least pull some Superman shit. I don’t think he got that in the chamber anymore and he knows it. He can still play at an all-star level, which is nuts at his age, but he can’t do the LeThanos “fine I’ll do it myself” like in 2007, game 6 against Boston in 2012, or 2018
Yeah it’s gotta be deflating to have this same shit happen to him but now he’s too old to do the crazy 1 man army shit he used to do. He’s been trying to play Robin to another superstar ever since he joined the Lakers, and now here he is at 41 being told once again to go be superman for a trash team.
“LeBron we got Kyrie and K Love you don’t have to carry anymore”
“LeBron we got AD you don’t have to carry anymore”
“LeBron we got Luka you don’t have to carry anymore”
LeBroken promises
Not gonna lie kyrie and luka are probably the only times he could even ease off the gas i love ad but man was he inconsistent on offense at times
AD turned into Kevin Durant during the bubble playoffs, his 2 point shooting was bananas that year, but only that year
*2018 - Kyrie made it to the Finals
Bronny steps up to play the Kyrie role, we get jokes about going from father figure to literal father
Bro my is going to play the Rondo bench commander role from 2020
LeThargic
Bro said it was a shot to heart and the mainframe, he had to make up a part of the body to express his disappointment level 😭
I think he just has body parts we don’t have
He probably do have a mainframe, that would explain some things lol
He wanted to say a shot straight to the hog
thats proof Lebron is a cyborg. He has a mainframe
LeChnology
you know someone’s old when they’re talking about mainframes
A basketball team is a lot like a token ring network, the ball is the token, and the players are the logical ring!
Lebron on Flagg’s performance last night: “that boy got efficient vacuum tubes!”
LeTopology
LeFinite State Machine
Actually, the woman in the recent film Bikini Hackers who talked about hacking the mainframe was quite young!
hm, does Lebron’s wife know that is what he’s watching?
Always funny to see them mentioned as someone who works in the space.
Mainframes are still thriving! They’re very configurable, so they range from $100k to well over a million. Lots of financial institutions use them for compute.
he just outed himself as a cyborg, we all knew it
LeMainframemogging
It took me this long to realize that i took for granted that your favourite superstar is always healthy for the playoffs and its because of this guy. Now i have to get used to these stars getting injured because they are actual humans
he’s still never missed a playoff game, even with all the injuries in his lakers career. he’s always made sure he’s available no matter what for the biggest moments
I thought Tatum was the same way until devastation occured.
The fact that hes back and looking so good is actually insane
Yh Tatum and ant were iron men til the shock injuries. Goes to show how much you gotta invest your bod like Bron has to really last forever
That’s why longevity matters. Your best player being on the court when it matters the most.
Facts, people try to discount that shit because he lost in the finals a lot, but a lot of great players don’t even make the finals. And a lot of time if they do once or twice, their body gets worn down afterwards. LeBron went to 8 straight finals. Like, I really think we don’t mention that enough. Basically for a decade, this man had like 2 months between seasons, and he was playing like an extra 20-25 games per season on top of playing around 75 games in the regular season. Bro, he played 82 games with 37 mpg in 2017-18, and then carried that LeBron and the uncs ass team through two 7 game series against the Pacers and Celtics. ON HIS EIGHTH YEAR IN A ROW TO THE FINALS. I don’t give a damn if he lost, that season was a testament to his greatness
But I am LeTired
Well, have a nap. Then fire LeMissiles
Right-o
Hokay
Fucking… ^kangaroos
LeTiredOfThisShit
if youre old enough to remember this, its also time for your nap
Wait what happened to Reaves?
oblique injury. 4-6 weeks.
Oh damn
No, oh bleak
got a literal LOL from me
Grade 2 oblique strain, out of season
Jeez, such bad timing for the Lakers after the season yall have had
Follow up question:
Where is the mainframe located LeDoctor?
The mainframe (torso) is right below the brainframe (head), obviously.
Does that make the groin area the Drainframe or the Bangframe?
Depends if it’s anterior or posterior.
Insane in the mainframe…
Universe just really wants to always make him the top player on his team in the playoffs, huh?
LeSpaceship
Dawg always gotta sneak in that “whatever the case may be” 😭
and things of that nature
He really do always be saying that. I actually like it so much.
The king of Memphis has spoken
The Crystal Skull sends its regards.
The mainframe - LeBron is a robot confirmed
Oh Shit! Even the mainframe?!
The Memphis curse for ya lebron
Injuries this late in the season are soul crushing for fans, I can’t imagine how tough it’d be for the injured and their teammates. The west is a buzz saw as usual so Lakers will be lucky to make it to the 2nd round which very recently would sound ridiculous. Appreciate the regular season because no team is promised health in the playoffs.
Granted, the injuries are only like a month each and there’s still a couple weeks of regular season left, so if they can survive the first round they could actually be in decent shape. I do expect them to lose in the first round, because West is a beast and even if Luka makes it back before their playoffs are done it would be surprising if he’s close to 100% on his first games rushed back and there would be like no margin for error.
It’s basically a wrap for a deep run due to the simple fact that the margin for error is basically zero, like you said. Bron will give the first round everything he has and will probably average a triple double but not sure if he can pull off another miracle at his age.
LeBron is the unluckiest superstar to ever play the game.
Shouldn’t have mocked Pharaoh’s Curse
LeNap
And to the chest and to the mainframe obviously, because i am a cyborg.
Watching his playoff hopes collapse in a pasty heap
“I had just finished leaving a scathing review on TripAdvisor, and…”
Lewhateverthecasemaybe
Memphis, this is for you!!!
I don’t think they truly had a chance to win a title but their chances really just fell through the fuckin floor. Luka then Reeves pretty much back to back…fuck
LeMainframe
That was my reaction too
Shit……it is finally my team again
Did his Nokia just go off?
Don’t let Jon Bernthal see this. He HATES naps. If someone like LeBron has time for a nap, a guy like Jon bernthal does too lol
Lemme tell ya sumn
I hate naps man, I just hate em. I don’t got time for naps man, who’s got time for naps man?
Jon Bernthal has openly expressed his strong dislike for naps, famously stating, “I don’t trust people who take naps.”
#🤣
He has since offered a half-apology for his hardline stance, clarifying he has nothing against those who nap, but still insists he doesn’t have time for it personally.
#😭
Yea, 41 is a lot harder when you don’t have a prime-superstar carrying you past one of the worst defenses in the league.
Jon Bernthal out there somewhere pissed!
LeCyberpunk
Lebron: shieeeeettttttt
No mainframe jokes…tsk tells you the age of the average redditor.
LeBron so old that his LeProgramming still runs on COBOL…
Lefirstroundexit
We are seated for one final run king.
That’s a shame
Lebron saw the news and was like “Long story short, its over!”
LeRobot
This is actually perfect for Bron cause now everyone will say what if even though LA weren’t actually contenders and would have shown it quickly in the playoffs.
Speaking of his naps, his sleep series on the Calm app is actually pretty good
Terrible leadership from LeBron.
More like a Shot in the ass from HGH and then woke up
Come on, I can’t be the only one that thought of “You Give Love a Bad Name” with that thread title
Shot to the heart
The chest and mainframe
You give love a bad name
LeBron is going to be in withdrawals when he retires. He’s addicted to telling a ton of random microphones his every single thought.
Definitely the his best, last shot got crushed (even though it was a tough road). LeHurtsBad
I really have no idea where he’s headed next
It’s the Curse of the Pyramid Crystal Skull
He shit talked Memphis and the Curse took it’s revenge
LeBron can’t win with these cats!
Memphis sends its regards
The heart is in the chest dumbass
More Lakers headlines huh?
“Woke up from my nap, whatever the case may be…”
Uncs need naps too
LeBron has a mainframe?
You should probably RELOCATE your nap. You might get better news.
Take your own advice, King 👑
He’d probably get mugged on his nap
Lebron is about to go down like John Henry.
Get this team to the chip, carry them to a W in seven. Sudden cardiac arrest as soon as the final buzzer goes off.
