LeBron postgame - “I’m not angry or disappointed. Obviously you’re disappointed at the simple fact, being down 3-0 obviously. But we still got life and that’s all you can ask for”
It’s just basketball
LeOptimist
It’s actually funny how people have had time to actually listen to the “it’s just basketball” presser and still purposely misinterpret the context
I mean I don’t even think most of the comments here watched this linked video. He’s talking about life as in the series, not life in general lmao.
5 bots in the comments already misinterpreting that quote :(
Lebron was probably hella upset when Westbrook made that infamous quote but he probably lives by it now
I think Steph and Dray have both silently entered this phase of their careers as well. They now realize they’ll never win again and are just playing additional seasons for the love of the game (and the paychecks).
Can anyone remind me of the quote in question
I think its the “win lose or draw just have fun” comment
LeGuidance Counselor
at the end of the day its just basketball
LeBron James is 0-3 ever since he called out and defied Father Time.
Damn, time got hands
You know it’s that time when Lebron starts giving the “it’s just basketball” speech.
That’s not what he’s saying in this quote though. He’s referring to still having life in the series because it’s technically not over yet.
Dude read the top comment then went off with that lmao
Watch the full video before commenting next time lol
I’m not disappointed. Just disappointed
Classic Oklahoma education.
Comprehension in the gutter
If Westbrook said this, the sub would have a field day
He means they still got life because they’re not out of the playoffs. Surprised how many people really misunderstand.

When does the arm cast come out?
Dave McMenamin already has the article queued up.
that shit was so funny
It’s not over til’ it’s over. Thunder still gotta close
LeDidnt hear no bell
to all miserable Lakers fans

Give me bron plwase
He ain’t coming unless yall make it to ECF. Get to work.

There was a point where Lebron was on the floor with Keibler, Kennard, Thiero, and Reaves(i think). That was fn sad if you are Lebron. Finishing your career with shitty teammates like this.

This just doesn’t make any sense, first he says he’s not disappointed than he says obviously he’s disappointed. Some college would have done wonders to him talking.

He’s a billionaire. Easy to shrug his shoulders and move on with his billionaire life.
If he don’t even care then just retire
Lebron should just retire. It’s getting sad.
So at what point do we admit that LeBron’s Lakers tenure is really just a slightly better iteration of his first tenure on the Cavs? If it wasn’t for COVID he would be ringless in LA
not as ringless as the knicks tho

me waiting for the knicks to win anything
Hahaha write that on your tombstone because 🤭
Lakers wouldve still won in 2020
Bron was 2nd in MVP and had the best playoff run and better numbers than MVP Giannis in the playoffs
Actually.. yeah.
We were the best and hottest team in the league, with lebron likely to win the mvp before the season ended. No doubt in my mind that we would’ve won the championship regardless
Nah clippers and bucks could’ve beat the lakers they both had a 1-1 record against the lakers before the 5 month layoff. Both teams wanted to leave the bubble which led to them exiting early in the playoffs. Under normal circumstances the bucks are in the finals and clippers vs lakers is a 7 game series which could go either way. They won finals next year, swept the heat and clippers got to wcf in 2021 (could’ve went to finals if kawhi didn’t get injured).
Everyone played under the same circumstances?
Do the Lakers get special attribute boosts in Disney or something?
It was an outlier year with no fans in the stands & no travel.
The lakers benefited from having a 5 month layoff with two injury prone stars. Anthony davis never was able to stay fully healthy after that season and literally got injured in the first round the next season.
Davis also benefited from there being no crowds and no pressure. He shot a outlier 38% from 3 as a career 29.5% shooter.
Many teams voted to leave the bubble but were forced to play because of financial repercussions. Teams like clippers and bucks (both serious contenders) were eliminated early due to not wanting to be locked there while their family members were getting sick and dying.
The bubble should definitely have an asterisk next to it. Under normal circumstances clippers and bucks have a good shot to take down the lakers. Bucks won the title in 2021 and the clippers made the wcf and were a finals bound team if kawhi didn’t get injured.
It was an outlier year with no fans in the stands & no travel
Yes, true for every team.
Unlike famously healthy Kawhi?
Who’s our second injury prone star? You can’t be telling me LeBron is injury prone lmao
So you’re admitting at full health , the Lakers were the better team?
Why didn’t others benefit?
AD averaged less than 2 made 3s a game that playoff run?? Nice way of using percentages to twist a fake narrative.
Teams like clippers and bucks (both serious contenders) were eliminated early due to not wanting to be locked there while their family members were getting sick and dying.
So why could the Lakers?
Who’s family members died on the bucks or Clippers?
were a finals bound team if kawhi didn’t get injured.
Within the same breath arguing against ADs ring because he was healthy and saying kawhi would have won it..if he was healthy.
What
I mean he didn’t win a ring his first stint with the Cavs, so calling this Laker’s stint slightly better is a stretch.
He sure was crying on the court though
