LeBron on what defensive gratification the Lakers take from holding KD to 3 points in the 2nd half: “Zero. None. That’ll just make him even madder going into game 3. No satisfaction.”

The old man in me is just now realizing this could be the last time KD and Bron face each other in the playoffs. Never know what can happen
It likely is.
LeBron has what 1-3 years at most, kd likely 2-4 depending.
They both play in the West so that’s a shit show every season, most likely to meet first or second round (because wcf for both is unlikely) and even then it very easily to play someone else.
This also assume no late season injuries to old players.
Watching last night it seems like LeBron has more time if he chooses to
So you’re saying he can return to finish his promise?
(Again)
He should sign for the Bulls and just win one ring just for the lols
DWade’s gonna convince him to take his talents to south beach (of the shrinking great salt lake)
Yeah I think if he moves it 2-3 pretty comfy. I think he will simply want to move on to his next adventure at some point.
He’s going to get bored long before his body truly fails him.
It’s become fairly obvious that the main thing motivating him to retire soon is not his physical condition, but rather Mrs. James telling him it’s time to carry his old ass back home so they can enjoy a nice long retirement together.
“I’m not trying to be Tom Brady. I like my family.”
Maybe he also wants to see Bronny develop a bit and become a NBA-caliber player too before he leaves and Bronny loses the nepo card
Or Bryce
He is entering his 7th prime
LeBron is like 1⁄3 through with his NBA career
Bron can play for a bit more, but his time as a starting caliber player is waning fast, if only because his minutes will get lesser and lesser and there’s a point at which you don’t want a guy who can only play 20 minutes to start.
And I’m not exactly sure why, but I don’t see LeBron ever willingly becoming a bench player. I think once he’s told he won’t be starting he’ll retire even if he could physically still play. Just a gut feeling.
Wemby doesn’t even average 30mpg. Lebron can do that for a few years although he’ll need to play next to guys like Luka to minimize his usage
Obviously he’s declining but he’s still much closer to a top 10 player than he is a not-starting caliber player.
Bron at 50 is still a better passer than anyone on the rockets
Well KD plays in the west for now, but he might still play for 2 more teams in his career. Can’t imagine he’s back next season.
1-3 is crazy about a 41 y/o man. Definitely 1
The fuckery has to stop at some point, right? Right?
Father Time losing this one. LeBron gonna retire while being a top 20 player
Robert parish and vince carter both played until 43, and when they were lebrons age they were averaging 4.8 and 5.4 ppg respectively
Lebron is averaging over 20
You think he would move states to play 1 season, now that is a wild opinion.
You say that like he already left. Thinking he’ll even leave is a bigger reach than only playing 1 more year.
Other than all the reporting indicating he is leaving, the fact there was no extension, etc.
“Reports” aka just gossip and rumors based on nothing but media storylines, literally means nothing. It’s all fan fiction. The most likely outcome is he stays in LA, but that doesn’t generate headlines.
You’re glossing over the lack of extension.
I cant imagine KD is coming back to Houston next season tho. Will he stay in the west?
If he doesn’t it almost ensure they never face off again.
Lebron has more years in him than half the league, the fuckery might never end
He will get bored eventually.
Old man checking in. It’s like Magic vs Bird, Jordan vs Barkley/Ewing/Kemp/Stockton/Miller
Lebron has his 6th prime and 10 more years bro lol
The sad thing is that somehow they never play against each other for almost 5 straight years.
From 25 dec 2018 to october 26th 2023 zero games between Lebron and KD. We missed a tons of duels.
KD was on the Warriors when they beat CLE.
Edit: Sorry. I swear I read your post as his first time playing KD.
2 + 2 = 4
The sky is blue
Sun is shinin’ in the sky
There ain’t a cloud in sight
Does time run linearly for you?
2012 Finals don’t exist?
coming from the guy who knows first hand “What did you say klay said?”
a Klay comment that forever changed the goat conversation
That smile/laugh LeBron did after being told. Very scary.
Best interview clip of all time, knowing what came after
Right just play the game until you win series

LeSnakeCharmer
Perfect
Spoken by a man who has played KD in 14 playoff games

Take notes Jaden
Ballsy of him to issue the challenge, for sure. But if Nuggets get blown out in Minny come next game I’m willing to bet you’re winning the series
I’d only start to feel comfortable going back to Denver at 3-1.
I think we’re going to 7
How many 3-1 series did the Nuggets come back from in just one season? Not sure if I would feel comfortable until it’s 4-x
Just let em win game 3 to put them in a false sense of security
Or just win and go up 3-0?
Hmm 🤔 maybe winning is better than losing
Sometimes losing is winning, I’ll explain later
If the lakers win the next 2 games, they can move on to the second round
Do games follow a fixed schedule? For example, if a team goes 4–0, do they get the equivalent of three games’ worth of rest before their next match?
Depends on how long the rest of the first round goes, but basically
I like this idea. Get this to JJ asap
Oh noooo. We gotta keep our feet on their necks

r/nba users would tell Bron that he’s wrong and that KD is weak mentally and an overrated scorer
Kevin “getonmydickerson” Durant
[removed]
or maybe he’s just not celebrating prematurely?
Scared of a guy who’s never led his team lol you got it
Getoffmydickerson?
STFU
you created a new account to post this. ban evading?
Jordan would not give anyone fuel. But why are we discussing MJ?
Missed the game last night and saw the stats. My legit first thought was putting money on the over for KD next game

Stop it. Get some help.
Was that really your first thought?
It sure wasn’t “maybe gambling is a bad idea.”
Gambling can and will destroy your life, time to get help
Gamblers mentality
Gambling is bad but using this sub is worse
