[Highlight] LeBron gets the steal and hits a 3 to tie the game!
You have got to be fucking kidding me. This is absolute insanity
Hilarious 4th quarter
Bron was looking real old for a second there, then remembered who tf he was
Bro locked in and remembered he had another gear to go to when it’s go-time to remind the haters who he is.
I was just following the play-by-play on the app and that was absolutely my impression. It felt like LeBron was turning it over during every key moment. And then he does that.
He literally just didn’t get back on defense at one point with only a minute left and the Rockets scored
He gave up right up until smart got that steal. That sengun steal and dunk hurt him 😂
Yeah, bro had to play 45 minutes because Ayton and Jake weren’t doing shit. I know he felt every part of that arthritis boy ☠️
Honestly, I kind of hope he doesn’t play Sunday night. I don’t think it’s a good idea.
I came to the same conclusion. He should rest next game.
LeAlzheimers
He was getting lambasted on the Lakers sub. They were saying he lost us the game after the back to back turnovers that put Houston up 6.
Isn’t that how LeF**kYou3 always initiated?
“I’ll save it for Game 4…….. wait you’re trying to throw the game away? Fuck okay then….”
A cinematic and Shaqtin a Fool worthy fourth quarter
Unreal. This game was over.
getoffmydickerson gonna go off on Jae’Sean Tate and Jabari Smith Jr tonight
Extremely deserved. That pass & foul combo is one of the all-around most brainless plays I have ever seen.
Edit: SVG is right, Jabari wasn’t even being pressured. Why didn’t he just keep dribbling. That guy has negative basketball feel.
I always shrugged when people would call certain players low IQ, but this a prime example of low IQ basketball
why do you normally shrug tho its a real thing and an enormous part of the game
Genuinely asinine and I don’t say that lightly… less than 30 seconds left and up 6 points with possession AND 4 men in the back court and Jabari Smith Jr with that lazy ass pass.
Ime yelled at him to get across half court and it fried his brain
getoffmydickerson just a man of the people, brave enough to say what we can all see
LeBron was already looking like he gave up until Smart got that steal and foul for the 3-point play, Rockets are fucking atrocious dude.
He played 40 min and was gassed. Marcus gave him a second wind
Everyone except Marcus Smart agreed
“Oh wow, he actually threw that pass.”
— Marcus
Reed Sheppard absolutely choking with that turnover.
All this Houston doesn’t have a PG issue is real….but wasn’t this guy 3rd pick knowing he can literally only play the point
To be fair, it was the Risacher draft so it’s not like he was the third pick in a good draft. They could’ve had Castle instead though so it was still a terrible pick.
Massive choke job by the rockets.
Yeah i turned the game off… How?
Marcus Smart steal into a 3 pt foul, followed by LeBron steal and 3 ball
Dude same, when sengun got that dunk to go up 6 I just walked away. Shame on me
He’s the greatest of all time. How can you not watch this and not think this
This guy is a genius, and a peak athlete at OVER 40. He’s absolutely basketball God.
This can’t go on much longer.
thank god we only have 10 more years of this
People were calling him lebum in the game thread before this btw
He was so gassed and turned it over twice but pulled through when they had a chance
45 playoff minutes out of a 41 year old is an insane ask. Somehow LeBron saved what would’ve been an embarrassing game ending. That’s why he’s the goat
LeBron is inevitable
Dread it, run from it, belt comes all the same
Wtf are the rockets doing lmao
Dickerson is furious
Is KD even there in the arena? I see Vanfleet and Adam’s but can’t see KD
Generational and Geriatric. Unreal.
LeGeneriatric
I turned the fucking game off what the hell happened?
Brooo me too!!!! Now I refuse to turn it back on out of superstition lol
We all should be use to this by now lol
The fuckery shall never end. The fuckery is eternal.
man talk about snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory
LeBronity.
This fuckery cannot go on much longer
The fuckery continues
It will never end
I turned the game off because I thought the fuckery ended wtf
I turned off at 95-101 thinking it was over wtffff
It’s crazy to me that people don’t let it play out. Same mentality as that marathon runner who got sprinted past
Yeah. I get that probably 49 times out of 50 it’s going to go a certain way, but if I’ve been watching something for that long it’s worth my time to finish it out till I’m basically certain it’s over
LeBron James still adding to his career playoff highlight reel in 2026 is crazy
The bank shot and lob to Bronny in the first quarter were disgusting
Gonna be a sad day when he decides to hang it up. Absolutely unbelievable that I am still watching him carry undermanned and less than stellar teams through the playoffs after two decades.
Him dragging this bombed out and depleted Lakers roster to a 3-0 series lead is a minor miracle
Getting playoff wins as the centerpiece player at age 41 is unreal shit and I’m a Jordan GOAT guy but my boy was all over the court involved in every play. My jaw was on the floor at the end of that one
I’ll say that it helps when the opponent has no vets on the floor
It’s just so unnecessary. Sengun is about to lose in the playoffs the same way the mid 2000’s Wizards did
I consider myself kind of a LeBron hater but what the fuck can I even say at this point?
This motherfucker is still putting up carry jobs 23 years into his career. I’m flabbergasted.
A LeFuckYou 3
At the best possible time
I thought he was gonna hit the game winner too…
Absolutely insane that the oldest player in the nba for the last 3-4 years is still this good
he might just be the best performer of the playoffs thus far. at 41 fucking years old.
In game 3 of his 13574337th playoff series, he puts up 45 minutes, 29-13-6 plus 3 steals and block AND alley oop his son AND won several jump balls against players half his age. WTF
The alley oop to his son is bananas.
Like, that’s just pure insanity. The amount of things that have to line up in order for these sequence of events to occur are minuscule.
even in the post game interview, he let out one of those small dad smiles talking about bronny.
Also gave props to the 3 he hit.
His longevity is exactly why he’s the goat over Jordan for me.
its not just longevity. Players can have UD or Jeff Green-like longevity but LeBron’s is coupled with still an All NBA type of performance and reliability
It’s that insane plateau dropping from best player in the League from like 2009-2021 into a consistent 3rd team all-nba but can take over when needed.
Yeah he’s still third team or at least all star level. At 41 is insane.
LeFuckery
Right after a LeFuckYou Steal
I’m going to miss both them and these comments one day.
Please sweep us im begging
Yes please spare us from this basketball terrorism
Unfortunately they may let you win the next one
This team is so ass they would still lose
I am convinced Ime called the backcourt inbound. There’s NO way you don’t inbound that into the front court, even into traffic. Genuinely poor coaching down the stretch to not be yelling at your players to advance th3 ball
I mean you should never let the another team win a playoff game but I’m assuming OKC is gonna sweep phoenix so the more time it takes the Lakers to beat Houston the more time Reaves + Luka get to heal up
Honestly would be surprised if LeBron is playing on Game 4. He played 45 minutes today, and it showed. He was so gassed in the 4th and OT that plunking 1 game, despite how horrible and karma-inducing it is, would help him.
Edit: It’s actually better if the Lakers swept the Rockets, since they get to have more time for rest and rehab on Reeves and Luka. Just one more game for LeBron to push through.
Nah no chance, its the playoffs.
Lebron has not missed a playoff game in his entire career. Not happening
if both OKC and LA sweep, does that series begin right away? or do they wait until all teams finish the first round?
It won’t start right away but it will begin earlier than the other 2nd round series. TV stations want games to air
It would usually start when the game 7 would have started
We found out ime udoka is really darvin ham
I’m cryin he really is Ham 2.0
LeBron is a merciful king
HOW IS THIS FUCKERY STILL GOING ON
Only 10 more years left
the first grandson/grandpa team duo in NBA history will be so special
LeBron and Bronny James Jr.
it’s been 10 years since nick wright said he was done 😭😭😭
Ben Simmons is here. We’re good. 😌
Nick Wright has pivoted hard and now argues LeBron could be an all-star until he’s 50 lol
Aspiration is paying off Kawhi and Father Time.
Nahhhhh bro, this shit felt so demoralizing. Bron looked so chill throwing that hailmary 3 holy shit
Scared my dog when I jumped up at this lmao
Rockets advance the ball challenge
Sengun right there with hands up mind you
Would’ve been too late. Just terrible coaching by Ime
Reed Sheppard not be completely pathetic challenge
level: impossible
They don’t have a PG and Udoka coaches on vibes
The rockets literally handed the Lakers the win. LeBron turned it over by himself with 30 seconds left in regulation putting the rockets up 6. That’s unbelievably bad basketball 🤣
This guy is a billion years old btw

At this point you’re just hating if you don’t acknowledge how crazy this is
They’ve been hating for 23 years. They ain’t stopping now.
They are one with the hate at this point. It’s a major part of their personality.
Not true, my mind’s changing. Especially the last three games. Like it’s honestly insane. I was there for all of Jordan 2 and Jordan 3. Current LeBron >>>>> Jordan 3. Like there’s no comparison. And the fact that he’s not just better than Old Jordan, but also better than a lot of current stars? Insane.
After 23 years, this first round series is changing your mind?
LeBron has been miles above wizards MJ since his age 38 season (22-23)
someone on Instagram literally said “If Jordan was on the lakers at Lebron’s age. He would be doing that too” lmao
Jordan was sitting at home during the playoffs of his Age 41 season because he’d retired a full year before.
We say that every playoffs for haters and Kobe Stans to call him dead weight when he’s coasting in February on a Tuesday in Sacramento.
HES 41
And he’s Reed Sheppard. Send him back to college, go get your masters young fella
Imagine the fear that dude felt when he looked up and saw LBJ coming right at him
Old man and the 3
top tier bar bro
If Lakers win it all this game will be known as that
Agreed. Absolute top tier. Ask not for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for 3.
LEBRON FUCKING JAMES
LEBRON MOTHERFUCKING JAMES
LEBRON FUCKING BRONNY’S MOTHER JAMES
He was gassed in the 4th and now has to play OT😭Limit testing at 41 years old.
He played WAY better in OT than in the 4th lmao
For real, I think he kinda let go until he saw the chance to tie it up, then in OT he was like “No way am I letting my clutch play result in a loss.”
Most gassed I’ve ever seen him
SVG really jinxed the Rockets big time lmao.
Commentator
He said what a lot of us were thinking but man am I glad he was wrong. Amazing jinx.
He was hating all night, and refs cheated us most of the game till OT
Wtf am I watching?
GOAT in action
I better never hear MJs name after this shit lmao
You’ll continue to hear it until those people die. He could die on the court at the age 87, while dunking on dudes in their 20’s. The boomers will still hate.
This comment has me crying yo 😂
I’m with you but at least there is a convo
Anyone who puts Kobe in this tier is a bonafide DUMBASS
The fuckery continuing.
He’s the GOAT I don’t even care man
It was a wrap years ago
He’s too clutch
It’s crazy bro if you go to a first take or skip bayless comment section you have hundreds of people who swear he’s the least clutch all time player.
He’s looked so incredibly gassed and done with this game the last 2 mins and yet the Rockets found a way to throw it away and give the Lakers a chance anyway
It really was incredible to watch. After that turn over with 25 seconds left it really felt like the lakers were giving up and Jabari Smith just throws the ball to them, unprompted, unpressured, just no reason, and that’s a wrap.
Oooh Houston
HOW TF DID HOUSTON NOT CLOSE THIS GAME.
THE FUCKING GOAT LMAO
LeFuck You 3
LEBRON RAYMONE JAMES SR.
omg what is this i turned the game off 😭
LeBron almost hit the game winner too. Shit would have been an all time classic playoffs game ending sequence.
Sitting here 20 mins outside of cleveland. We drafted this mf when i was 12⁄13 years old. If you told me that ill be watching him play at a an allstar level in 2026 id laugh in your face. Thanks for the ring Lebron. Thanks for coming back home
2016 was basketball peak omg
Kennard made a great fucking call. Bron was locked the fuck in holy shit
He’s been locked in this series, sheesh
what the actual fuck
Mama, that man is 41 and still doing this.
Oldest freaking player in the league
Le Fuck You 3
Thank you, Lebron James
sengun really do run like he got titties
67 years old btw and still doing shit
Unbelievable
Enjoy LeBron while it lasts. We probably only have a good 5-8 more years of this before he retires…..
ONE OF ONE
That’s still Lebron Fucking James. My GOAT
No no no no YES
LE FUCK YOU 3
This guy is in his 40s… this fuckery wont go for much longer
Up up and away
LEGOAT!
LeGoat

I‘m just rooting for Bronny at this point.
OLD MAN STILL GOT IT
If the lakers win this game rockets shouldn’t bother showing up for game 4
GOAT type shit
LeFuck You
LeClutch holy shit
If he ain’t your goat you’re just wrong bro idc
