He's a divisive figure, and a lot of people become highly emotional when discussing him. |
I get that and I’m ok with it.
However some like to put him down in order to prop up others. That’s when this place becomes a bit exhausting. |
Then again, some like to put others down in order to prop him up. Both extremes are pathetic imo. _________________ "Chick lived and breathed Lakers basketball…but he was also fair and objective and called every game the way it was played."

Plus the 180 turnaround from his old and new teams, except for last year cuz the Lakers didn't have a real HC, more like an assistant coach. So yea, he's proven again and again that he is indeed the GOAT. |

Before injury LeBron was great. I actually was more impressed with him as a scorer last year than this year. This year it seems harder for him to score. He’s been amazing as a passer. |

Whatever happens this year...in the offseason he’s gotta work hard on his post game. He’s no longer quick enough to take guys off the dribble. While he’s still good I’m kinda bummed to see how human he looks nowadays. |

Given that this is a Lebron engine team, it’s my biggest worry.
Maybe they use AD PnR to free him up and demolish teams in the playoffs, because 35 year old Lebron in 2020 doesn’t look like he can do what 2018 playoff Lebron did in terms of dominating the game. I wouldn’t put money on same playoff Lebron tbh, I think we will have to try and free him up with PnR and him picking up speed as the trailer or some creative off ball play. |

Why was he in the game in the fourth?
That looked like a good time to load manage IMO. |

Just read he stopped going to game to watch Bronny in a tourney at Springfield College. Anyone know how how far a side trip that is?
Could explain the lack of focus from the team when the team leader is so casual before a marquee MLK rivalry game. Boston sure played like they wanted it. Can’t say the same for the Lakers players. |

2 hour commute. He took a helicopter. He had 7 assists in the first quarter so he was pretty sharp |

And 6 assts the rest of the way to go with his 15 pts.
Sadly what he took he gave right back in careless ball handling and low effort. Multiple times he played like he did last year. Like he could care less, not the MVP type energy he chooses to play most nights this year.
Just one game but the team follows his lead. Tonight was pitiful! Expect more from a GOAT |

LeBron with only 12 shot attempts. An average of just 3 attempts a Quarter.

None of the lebron super teams won the tile in their first year, that was prime lebron.
Most teams need to have someone dominate the ball, lebron is a great passer, and lakers don’t have a true point guard.
The only system didn’t need a point guard was the triangle offense. |

LAbron was 15-7-13 tonight in only 29 minutes. Hit all 5 of his free throws. We got destroyed from the 3 pt line and Boards (48-36).
Bron showed leadership and played with heart. |
