| No point watching if Lebron isn't playing. Would be surprised if we don't lose by 40 |

So he essentially played to keep the Lakers in the playoff race?
I guess that’s what Rich Paul meant when he said Lebron could play if this was the playoffs...a 70% Lebron who can’t jump and limited explosiveness. |

I literally DESPISE this aspect of Lebron's personality, and I've hated it for years. He goes out of his way to not risk his rep too much.
There was a time when he wouldn't even take the last shot because he feared missing it. He often teased entering the slam dunk contest, but always had a last second excuse not to do it for fear that he'd lose. It goes on and on. |

Objectively, this is why I just don’t have him as the GOAT. He is a freak and probably the most talented and complete basketball player ever. Just the combination of skill, size and IQ.
But I go with Jordan and Kobe ahead of him because he needs someone to take and make the game winning shots (Allen, Kyrie, etc.). He is missing that straight killer component.
That’s what separates Jordan and Kobe imo and it’s why they have 6 and 5 titles respectively.
Not trying to debate, just imo.

| He's not even going to sit on the bench with his team. They reported that he'll watch the game from the locker room. |

| Lebron played like 40 mins last game after being out for over a month...You really can’t expect him to be back 100% immediately...The guys sore. If ya’ll ever hit the gym for a while and suddenly stop for a month you’re going to be sore and in pain after your first day back in the gym. So he gas to put up with a recovering injury and lack of physical conditioning....Stop complaining people, we’d be down in the basement with the Suns if it hadn’t been for him at the start of the season. |
