    Wouldn't surprise me if this is the same guy who told Phil this. Because this was back when we played the Mavs too.



    This is what immediately came to my mind when I heard this guy ask Lebron this.

    Sounds like the same guy. How does he have media credentials and get in there to even ask these questions?

    When I post in this thread, its usually criticisms. LeBron was amazing against the Mavs. King James is a beast.

    Led the charge to close the deficit, the team went down 10 as soon as LBJ was subbed out. Then he comes back in, mounts another comeback, and closes the game. His fingerprints all over a high-level competitive game along with clutch plays. This is what Laker fans have been waiting for all season, including last year's. Bravo LeBron

    LeBron looked 5 years younger in the 4th and that OT. It was a great triple double 39/16/12 in 42 min

    Hell of a game, just a hell of a game. What’s most impressive is the defense, he played more this 2nd half and overtime than he probably did all last season. I’m guessing that first full offseason in forever did him some good.

    So far this year LeBron looks so damn old and slow in the quarters 1 and 2, like he's slowing down, but turns it on in the 3rd and 4th.

    I thought this dude was old and not good anymore?

    39/12/16, 4 steals and 1 block?

    Bron had a monster game. He was dialed up for this one on both ends. Steals, charges, closing out on shooters, orchestrating the offense, hitting 3s with ease (and 2 were in and out), taking it inside and abusing Luca late, setting up Green for OT, getting AD easy ones. I think he was jealous of AD's 40/20 night and was chasing one of his own with assists... joking.

    All effort tonight from LBJ.

    He's way too passive in the 1st and 2nd quarter and waits until the 3rd and 4th to basically insert himself into the game. I'm not a fan of it at all. Seems way too inorganic and forced whereas the game should flow naturally. Vogel needs to DEFINITELY clean up the 1st and 2nd quarter. It's getting to a point where if we play great teams, it's going to be draining having to fight our way back up every game.

    This is the best game he's played - he's had good moments, quarters, etc, but this was LeBron Freaking James that I expected when he signed here last July; this is the LeBron I've watched since 2003 when he entered the league; this is the Lebron I seen us carry us last year until he got hurt on Christmas Day in Golden State.

    He was the best player on the floor tonight (and there were some other pretty good players tonight)...he did EVERYTHING tonight, and we needed it. Just a sensational game.

    I'm not expecting this every night, but when we get these types of nights, I do certainly appreciate them considering our last 6 years.

    Thanks for making tonight feel like a "Lakers" fan, LeBron. It's been awhile...

    I’m sure he is to some extent, but he’s been missing layups in the 1st and 2nd quarters, like he couldn’t be bothered to make the effort to get the ball over the rim lol.

    Absolutely, I know it’s early but I don’t think this is being said enough. His defense has been superb so far this season.

    Hell of a duo indeed. Need to get that starting lineup sorted out though, I might start Caruso and Dwight over Bradley and McGee for at least a game and see if the slow starts stop for that game.

    4 TO’s again. Pretty much his career average. It’s embarrassing. Add that to the silly Taco Tuesday Chant, and it’s like he thinks dropping a triple double on an opponent we should have dominated means anything. smh
