    Got to thinking about this, I wonder when is the last time Bron got to spend Christmas and his birthday with his son. Probably spent more time with him on those days this year than he has in a loooonnnng time. From a parent perspective -- not basketball, and not the typical f*** Bron stance by a large portion of the base -- that has to be really cool for the James fam

    Well Rob gave him a birthday present, getting rid of Tinkerbell, and Bronny's hater from the G League. We have a couple of weeks to evaluate what we have, but I expect at least one more move, by the trade deadline. I still expect us to at least get to the WCF.

    The hater remark …. just curious had Max II ever said something or been caught visually by the camera clearly unhappy with Jr there under these circumstances? I’d imagine at least secretly any number of these guys. How bout Quincy since James has also been given some time at the point (IMO not a bad thing with his passing and if he could get to a level where he could be a legit combo guard as opposed to undersized 2)? That part is what it is but the kid is making nice progress and am rooting for him.

    The attention he attracted was ‘very frustrating’ for the players to see, and his alleged star treatment caused friction among the team, which went 0-5 to start the tournament, per a Lakers insider,” wrote Steve Brenner and Damian Burchardt of the US Sun. “‘That kind of tension didn’t help the group of players to build chemistry,’ said an anonymous Lakers player. "‘And you could feel that there was no unity [between] this group of guys as Bronny was the main guy and the others didn’t feel that it was right, that he deserved that.”

    I don't see it being Jalen at all, he didn't play in Summer League. Quincy already knew that Bronny had been drafted and had a garunteed roster spot. I don't think Collin would be concerned with Bronny either. However Lewis definitely could have been in his feelings about Bronny stealing his opportunity to shine and be the focal point of our Summer League team. Possibly Hodge? My money is on Lewis, he came across as the chirper of our G league bunch to me.

    I'm about as sure as Handy being our main leaker. A lot more sure than Phil Handy, is actually Mr Rambis!!

    BTW We haven't seen Mr Rambis since Phil got axed!! LOL

    I liked the response and logic …. thanks. Until you went all conspiracy theory on Handy and Mr Rambis. :D

    No everyone knows that’s @sirronstuff :rofl:

    … but seriously the AEG employment, as stated numerous times, makes a lot of sense. And usually the behind the scenes stuff happened when Big Names were connected.

    Arrogantly says he could play 5 to 7 more years, but already has extra ordinary nights. All time great doing what he doing, but slow your roll and let other people brag for you. When you try to brag on yourself, you just look like a douche.

    still my favorite player

    I really hope we move on after his current contract is up. His foot issue isn’t going to get better with time and the amount of rest needed between effective games is only going to increase.
    That being said, I fully expect Jeanie to milk her cash cow dry for as long as possible, for non-basketball reasons of course.

    needed him to step it up in AD's absence, and he did it.

    Will he play back to back or it’s his turn to rest?

    Those end of road takes on Lebron look wrong again.

    If he has the legs for the 3 pointer he's just ridiculously good

    We’ll see what happens in the PO’s.
    He has been impressive lately.
    As for the constant comparisons to MJ, I’m so bored with it.
    There is no GOAT for those who realize just how different the game is throughout each era.
    There’s only “Greatest of His Generation” or “Greatest of His Era.”
    For example, if Shaq
    would have been called like every other “star” smaller than him, with today’s foul calling standards, he would have fouled out every team’s frontline by halftime, in every single game. Dude would have averaged 40ppg before he stopped caring about his fitness.

    Yeah anyone who watched Shaq at his athletic peak was like WTF are you suppose to do.

    That being said Hakeem got him and he lucked out a bit that only Dikembe and Mourning were the centers in their prime till Duncan came around

    Duncan and Hakeem negate Shaqs most dominant ever he tries to pull out because he was too lazy to extend his prime ala Lebron
