“Last time Lakers had a guy like this (SHAQ) they 3 peat. Guess who the other player was ..Kobe. This is one of the many reasons why Majority of NBA players rather have Kobe over Lebron because if you switched Lebron & Kobe in this team now they wouldn’t lose” - Rick Fox |
Yea I wonder how a 39yo Kobe would do on this team…
We saw what happened with a healthy 35yo Lebron next to AD. Now imagine prime Lebron? |
Depends, would he be allowed to use PEDs/HGH? |
And does he not have the achilles injury. Cause you know that's what really ended Kobe's career. Age was just the follow up. |

You put just about any of these guys with Davis and we are in business. Lebron cannot sustain top tier production for 48 minutes. JUST STOP! You are stuck with Lebron ball and Lebron getting what he wants without the production. |
Cant believe Lebron is getting the blame this season... or even this series. Outside of Bron and AD, everyone on this roster is pure trash. |

Did you even watch the Lakers this season? Lebron's defense has been really good. He is second behind AD this season. |

This list sucks.
Curry got 22 points and 6 turnovers in a do-or-die game and is currently parked at home. Leonard is absolutely never healthy when it matters, so congrats on the 38 games of impact a year during the regular season, I guess. Booker and Durant? Really? Have you been watching Booker and Durant?
If you put half this list with AD and the current team, you're in business alright. In the business of missing the play-in.
Butler is also incredibly overrated. He dicks around all regular season, blows a load in one series and then he can't score the basketball again without pump-fake-pump-fake-pump-fake foul merchanting, clank. He gets lauded for doing little things more than anyone else. He's great as a role player and mid as a star. |

Saw this floating around on social media. So I had to watch the whole interview.
Of course it was clickbait material that was taken way out of context. He was talking about feeling pressure in the playoffs. |

For real. He’s not saying he doesn’t care, he obviously does. He’s saying these kind of moments don’t rattle him. Being down doesn’t change the need to go out there to perform.
Watch the whole thing before u attack Lebron u haters |

This what he actually said about being down 0-3...
“As long as you still have life, then you always have belief… You play until the wheels fall off. That's what it's always about for me as a mindset”

He was kind of the reason they collapsed last night. The constant ball watching and getting backdoored by AG led to Denver gaining all the momentum in the third quarter. He completely gave up on defense in the 2nd half and the team followed suit. Gambling for steals does not make you a competent defender.

LeBron said he's obsessed with playing perfect and can't understand anyone that isn't.
It would ring less hollow if he actually boxed out Aaron Gordon and stopped letting him backdoor him all night and then blame his teammates when it happens.

Look at these plays....I'd be frustrated too! Then he comes down and dominates the ball...then everyone else gets the blame. |

| Too bad an older LeBron can’t sustain the same energy as Kobe’s stans. Those are the people you want if your goal is to overcome a deficit. |

He's so conditioned to complain you can literally see him throw his hands up above his waist on nearly any and all breakdowns, even his own. It's a sight to behold and it's no wonder most of the teammates have seemingly tuned him out. |

| I've never seen him as mad as when the coaches didn't challenge that out-of-bounds. I've seen him exasperated like the JR moment and the Tatum no-call, but (bleep) was he furious. That was the equivalent of Kobe's death stare. |

Yea man....saw that (bleep) and I would have been like I need to challenge this now. Even if I lose that challenge at least Bron will stay mentally focused and move on. But I blame Zach Zarba too because he should have given us a little more time to decide what to do. |

That was ridiculous behavior by James. Plain and simple!
Then he compounds his Diva tantrum by not being ready for the inbounds.
Can’t remember which occurred next, if he was still so upset that he jacked up a poor 3pt or turned it over. Both happened in subsequent trips down the court.
His antics didn’t stop there. Later he yells at Reeves for not switching to his man in the corner who had just dunked. Reeves had switched to Jokic outside the 3pt. Not his rotation.
The histrionics have to stop. Must be tiring as a teammate.
Happy they won the game but James sure did his best to give it away again. |

Its hard to say this is just Bron though. Kobe had these moments of going (bleep) too. MJ cant remember off the top of my head but the guy was a straight up d***. Even Earvin Johnson wore on his teammates to the point him and Cooper, his best buddy nearly came to blows in 1990 and we all remember how Earvin used to treat Vlade - like Vlade was a child and not a grown man who had grown up in a war-torn country just because he was a nice man. |

If you talk (bleep) about LeBron after he scored 14 in the 4th with a huge charge drawn and steal, seek help. The one TO he had was Jokic swiping across his body (ridiculous officiating tonight). You guys would much rather parent his behavior and mannerisms than just enjoy an all-time great playing for your team. If he shows no emotion he doesn't care. If he shows it, he's hysterical.
Again, seek help. He's done a number on some of yalls neurons. I was an ardent Kobe fan and Bron hater growing up too, but jesus christ, get a grip. |

Moronic waste of bytes and drivel. Go parent your own kids.
And for the record, that wasn't Jokic, it was Gordon, and it was his rotation. See my post above.
Like straight up have some shame and perspective. |

Dude he’s no different than Jordan or Kobe. I’ve seen both chew tf outta teammates and get into it with coaches, and argue with refs a ton in-game. Only difference people label Kobe and Jordan “competitive” when they do it.
I mean, I agree it shouldn’t be done but this behavior isn’t unique to Lebron. And I better not see any responses trying to spin Jordan and Kobe’s tempers as anything different…. |
