“1, 2, 3, old as shit!” Sixers tease an emotional Lebron James as he receives the game ball for scoring his 16,000th field goal
Sixers Bron is essentially Olympics 2024 Bron which is my favourite version of LeBron by far. Rocked that grey beard and had all the other stars deferring to him. Played unselfishly, catered to whoever was getting hot at any given moment, yet could take over and score 10 points straight on his own during crunch time.
Role player Bron is the greatest role player ever.
Minimum contract LeBron is the best asset of all time
Seriously it’s the best contract in the nba and it isn’t close
Consider Jak’s raptors contract 🤔
Lakers fans would argue that reaves is a better contract
Nothing’s close? Many rookie contracts beats it, especially Wemby
Greatest document ever signed in Philadelphia history
LMFAO… This is funny, well done
That’s why if you build a team full of great players you include LeBron because he could fill out what that team lacks.
The ultimate swiss army knife.
Same goes for Curry. He’s the greatest shooter ever and also one of if not the greatest off-ball player to play the game.
Right but 5 shaqs could stack on each other like mechazord
Unfortunately the rim is only 10 feet tall, Voltron Shaq is 7 * 5 = 35 feet tall.
I feel like he always wanted to take a backseat but the Lakers were always too ass for him to actually do so.
Its also weird to be a big time role player next to luka. Their skillsets are too similar and hes not a knockdown shooter.
This is 100% true
It’s kinda hard to take a back seat on a team when you’re getting paid a max contract while on the lakers vs being paid a vet minimum and being the 4th option on the 76ers.
Lakers were never even 1⁄3 as deep as this sixers team is lol
He had a willingness to take less but the lakers never got any talent to fill out the roster.
Bron Emeritus
Finally time for LeBroleplayer
an older bron that makes an effort on defense and takes a playmaker role is so nice to watch
IMO his defense is all-nba worthy. We’ll see if this continues!
He not emotional his leg just hurt like a bitch😭
man was counting down the minutes until he could get in the ice bath
I’m so curious how well this dude is even going to be able to walk in like ten years, he’s put more wear & tear on his body than possibly any other athlete in the history of sports.
I think some of those pro wrestlers might be worse (Kurt Angle wrestling with a broken neck, Ric Flair wrestling till like 70) but he’s def. Up there
If you haven’t seen them already, I highly recommend not looking at pictures of his toes 🤢 makes you wonder how he is able to walk normally right NOW.
I want to see but I feel like googling “LeBron James feet” is going to make the fbi man in my phone raise his eyebrows
The man has arthritis and sciatica. The only other people I know who have that are 80yo folks
There’s definitely a lot more people that have arthritis and sciatica (more so Sciatica), and haven’t even touched 40 yet
Damn me. And I’m not even 40
No he hasn’t, there are thousands of marathon runners in the world who run hundreds of miles per week year round from their teens to their late 40s
The stress marathon runners and NBA players put on their bodies is entirely different. There’s no rapid acceleration and deceleration, no jumping and landing, no quick changes of direction, and no physicality amongst other runners.
Marathon runners are not almost seven feet tall.
Embiid better be in the dam ice bath with him every night
his feet were already in one lol
Somewhere dwade is making fun of him for icing his legs
dWade is in the locker room with him
From his wheelchair? :))
If they were all 2’s and he had never made a FT he would still be 7th in scoring all time.
And probably still first in playoff points lol
That is a genuinely disgusting stat.
Wayne Gretzky-ass stat

Wonder how many record/milestone game balls he has been given and/or actually kept?
I assume a lot are deflated and indexed in the lebron master archives.
LeBallary
Hall of James
Mr Ball Collector
Donde esta
That’s how much respect LeBron has for Tom Brady
This one probably ain’t making the trophy room
I guess this begs the question of what game balls do you think are more important to him?
I’m assuming his point record game ball, his first game ball, probably his last, maybe his game high for points but what other game ball would pass this?
The Bron-to-Bronny alley-oop in the playoffs game
I think he just has a room full of balls and he swims in them like Scrooge mcduck
I’d honestly say 10k or even 15k
People tend to care about the more round number ones
if he doesnt make it to 17,000 this one actually will
He isn’t
Maybe in his 3rd house
they all going to Akron to the future Museum of Bron
Do you think he has a dedicated game ball inflater on the house staff?
some lakers fans won’t admit but i miss lebron
I’m glad he’s somewhere the fans all seem to appreciate him tbh. Do miss him though
I think I represent the majority of Sixers fans in saying that this still feels like a dream. We don’t need the dominant LeBron of the past, but the culture and intelligence he brings are invaluable.
Even if this doesn’t work out, Maxey and VJ are learning from the most professional NBA player ever.
Seeing his energy since he joined surprised me, he’s a really good fit for the Sixers fanbase, it would have been interesting to see him drafted by them, he probably would have loved the boos. Also underrated thing not mentioned but he was a big Allen Iverson fan
Nah Im kind of used to it now.
Now if I see a sixers parade down broad that would feel like a dream, seems so unrealistic but so obtainable at the same time
Yeah it seems like LeBron leaving LA was mutually beneficial
I mean the current Lakers could definitely use LeBron on a minimum haha
EVERY team could use LeMinimum LeBron
But he was never going to take the minimum to stay with the Lakers.
What did I miss? I swear I’m not being shitty but I genuinely don’t listen to Lakers fans
There was a sizable contingent of “laker fans” that hated LeBron and would constantly rip on him or criticize him, a noticeable amount of these “fans” even outright stopped watching the Lakers because of LeBron and all of a sudden now that he’s gone they’re all back like nothing ever happened, mostly because they just fell for that Kobe vs LeBron shit from like 2008-10
My Philly taxi driver when I visited a few weeks ago was pissed Lebron wasn’t living locally. So I wouldn’t say everyone appreciates him there
Lebron James? the same lebron that took the lakers to championship when Kobe passed? that lebron james?
believe it or not a lot of lakers fans still hate him even after what he’s done
As a Lakers fan and part of the Lakers sub, Lakers fans are delusional and wishy washy.
lakers fans or kobe fans? there’s a difference.
lol first time? Laker fanbase is huge, and we have the most entitled and ungrateful fans
I miss LeBron a lot, but it was time to move on and let Luka take full reign. He pulled us from basketball purgatory and gave us a championship. Forever grateful for his time here.
Running Luka at 175% is going to end in regret. Having James meant that didn’t have to happen. It’s like Maxey being free to just cruise when he needs to.
Lebron Lebron Lebron 🎶
Lebroooonnnn
90% of Lakers fans admit this.
Lakers fans literally said current reaves on a max is better than prime bron on his current contract. Don’t feel bad for them
Nobody said that shit 🤣 and if they did they’re delusional and/or ragebaiting
Sigmund Freud ova here
So we just making shit up now lmao
Deadass I said the same thing. Just making up shit for reddit clicks 😂
Dude don’t get mad at me cuz yall are saying that. Don’t shoot the messenger
Go pull the screenshot or link. You’re up and down this thread spouting this all over.
Now do I believe they are actually saying that? No not really but I do hate Lakers fan so I will upvote this anyway.
Brother lakers fans wanted lebron to take the current contract for a while. Wtf is this revisionism
Lmao Ain’t nobody fucking saying that SHUTUp Lol. That is not a narrative right now. Mfer’s just making up shit for clicks😂😂🙄🙄
Pacers fans also said they were better before Hali came back.😂🙄
No we did not. Laker fans are delusional sure, but no Laker fan would ever take Reaves over prime LeBron stop spouting bs
I’m a lakers fan and I agree. That bum needs a superteam like the Rockets to win
Like 1⁄5 of the world’s population is lakers fans so there are going to be some bona fide dummies.
The rest of us miss having one of the GOATs showing out night after night. Because of course we do.
Same
I thank LeBron for everything he did for LA but I was glad to turn to the next chapter with this team. We needed to move on asap.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think LeBron would be such a perfect fit for this city and this team.
Feels better than the Lakers. I think he’s just an eastern conf team guy
Fk does that mean. LeBron was perfect for Lakers. Ya’ll hate Lebron, ya’ll hate the Lakers. That’s twice the salt.
yea ill admit i was a LeBron hater, well i just didnt like him
but i respect him for life now for taking the Min just to try to win a title
hes a real competitor and dedicated so you have to respect him, didnt have to come to 76ers for me..just the fact hes a professional still
and half these bums in NBA lose motivation INSTANTLY they get money
You can’t sustain the career LeBron has had for as long as he has if money was the sole motivator. It’s always been for the love of the game.
Never really watched bron outside of highlights and occasional game. It feels like he is having fun both on and off the court. He doesn’t need to be the face or the leader (Maxey), just one of the guys.
Also think he is around guys who basketball is there life
It’s so silly to me that the “shit” had to be censored in a clip like this.
Wait, is that the coach from the Raptors championship? (I’m just starting to get back into ball)
Update: am getting roasted left n right 😂. Plz keep it up i luv reading em. It’s like r/roastmycar but for humans. For context, I left ball wayyy before even the Raptors championships. I left when it seemed like the whole world was bandwagoning either GSW or the Cavs for circa 2013/14/15. It just got boring and all the plays seemed the same with dishing it out to the arc. The glory days was 2010-2013. Lakers (Kobe, Fisher, Gasol), the Celtics (rondo, pierce, allen, garnett), Spurs (duncan, parker), Nets (Williams), thunder (KD, westbrook, harden), clippers (paul, griffin, jordan [the filthiest alleyoops!]). I loved following court shoes back then (Kobe VI, Hyperdunk, Crazylite). I even have a 2012 team USA Kobe jersey.
Ah, the good old days 😢. Anybody miss those times???
Did you just wake up from a coma coming out of a Thai prison?
Hold on just a second is that LeBron James? He left Miami?
Dawg how long you been gone?
https://media.tenor.com/v0cBeb_yBgUAAAAM/its-been84years-titanic.gif
Yes it is. He’s been there for a couple of seasons now.
That was 2019! Bro you have missed some shit in the time
Til you’re 90!!

#1 team in the NBA btw
Give Nick Nurse an elite team and he will coach the hell out of it. This team is dangerous.
If they change the league to 40 minutes, will his scoring record last (literally) forever? Until the end of the NBA?
It will last forever simply because of how many things had to go right.
Minutes-the minutes leader played 2976 last season. LeBron played 3388 in his second season.
Injuries-every game not played is worth so much more than bringing up your ppg. A 20+ year career with his injury count is unfathomable.
The longevity on its own is an incredible factor.
But on top of all that, star players don’t play anywhere near Cleveland Bron minutes.
Yes the scoring output is gonna go down by 20%
Of teams maybe but probably not star players. Why not just still play your star 36 minutes?
Do you expect them to play the same amount with less time to rest on the bench?
Is this an actual consideration, 10 minute quarters?
That frame at 0:07 is the first time I see him and think “Fuck, he’s old”.. But what a player. What an athlete.
Look at me smiling like a dumbass
Im happy for the guy
Can someone put this in perspective for me? What’s an average NBA players shot output through a career?
I imagine someone like LeBron would be very hard to compete w on this topic as he’s been in the league longer than most and puts up dbl digits each game
It’s something like the average NBA player only puts up 500-700 field goals. The average NBA career is only 4-5 years unless that stat has changed.
So LeBron has scored the average NBA x25 times over.
To even begin to break his record you would need to be in a player like Cooper Flags position. Generational talent and enter the NBA at 18 years old. Score at least 27 a game and last for 20 seasons.
Basically it’s impossible to beat.
*Edit, comment below cleared up it would be like 25-30 times the average.
Just to clarify, if the average is 500-700, he has scored more like 25-30 times the average.
Thanks. I just remembered an article a while back and tried to remember the numbers. I’ll edit the comment.
No problemo
Well he does have the all time record for field goal attempts, makes, and points.
Rank Player Field Goals Made 1 LeBron James 16,003 2 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 15,837 3 Karl Malone 13,528 4 Wilt Chamberlain 12,681 5 Michael Jordan 12,192
There are NBA players that weren’t even born when LeBron scored his first field goal. That’s how long he has been around making buckets
Most players will never even take that many shots
He’s been in the league longer than anyone ever. Started his 24th season vs carters 22
He’s literally played longer than anybody ever. It’s the reason he has the records he has.
I have a game worn signed LeBron ice bag.
Love for The King and the Best Basketball Player of All Time. Kind man too.
Basketball is better when the Sixers are good. Basketball is better when LeBron is good.
Making the coach shake your hand before giving you the game ball is a funny power move
Nothing wrong with shaking the hand…more of an issue with not standing up to do it. Regardless of who is giving you the ball. You ought to stand up to receive it. Just proper etiquette.
Im pretty sure he said something after the game about his legs or back being sore. Could have factored in.
In that case, he gets a pass,!
dude has large bags of ice on his knees after playing an nba game and you’re talking about office etiquette lmao
I do agree, but at the same time… I assume at this point his legs and back always hurt. So should he never stand up to shake hands again?
You can see in the video that his feet are in an ice bath, and he has ice bags strapped to his knees. Probably isn’t that easy to just stand up.
LeOld as shit
LeBron will still be playing at 60 won’t he
Weird to see Bron in a pistons logo
That would be weird
No weirder than Lakers or Sixers. Lakers I could have believed after the heatles but Sixers? He passed them up during the offseason he went to the Lakers, geniunly thought he’d never want to play there, honestly glad I was wrong it’s cool to see him have sucess in a variety of teams and enviornments.
You are aware that the Sixers are a storied franchise right?
Yeah I’m confused why the knee pads are pistons lol
They were playing in Detroit so I assume he got some spares in the locker room or whatever
Ice bags.
There is a video of young LeBron and D Wade where he is doing the same thing.
Pistons facility ice bags
“Damn!”

This is adorable and I love it
Damn, I’m not ready for salt and pepper Lebron.
