    One more time. Check his $tats:

    38/16/10. Please read that again.

    Shooting 60%, 87.5 from the free throw line.

    Seriously?

    Gave me Kobe flash backs the way Bron closed that game. Spectacular.

    Reminded me of LeBron vs Toronto game 2 in 2018. LeBron nailed 7 jumpers doing fadeaways, step-backs, etc., in a row...

    Reminded me of the 2010 Western Conference Finals Game 6 when Kobe kept making 22 footers over Grant Hill to end the Suns.

    Hopefully no political stunts in the Finals. Stay focused and keep your eyes on the prize. Only a distraction can stop this team at this point

    I’m sure he’ll correct that, but it’s his 9th over the last 10 seasons, 10th appearance overall. Which is insane, win/loss record aside, 17 seasons, 10 finals, that’s some Jerry West/Magic Johnson stuff.

    I'd imagine the politics will still be there, but there will be more Kobe talk now we are in the Finals.

    Best game as a Laker. So far.

    Let's put that "LeBron is not a closer" thing to bed now.

    I wonder if they’ll give him a make-up MVP next season.

    The Lebronto game: every since he left Miami he will not go into the post until he needs to.
    A bit frustrating as he can fade either direction or even put a nice baby hook that you wonder why he just doesn't do at all the time.
    At 35 I don't think he brings it out until he absolutely need to

    Months ago, after Kobe passed, Lebron said he was going to put LA on his shoulders... "God gave me wide shoulders for a reason." That quote hit me hard and finally made me a Lebron fan. Saw that quote in action to end the game. I was getting really anxious there and Lebron just went Kobe to finish the game. Amazing.

    I have to admit, I have become a Lebron James fan after tonight.

    He deserves whatever he gets if he wins 4 more games. He wouldn't need to win one more game either. Incredible career.

    '

    So many other players in the league didn't have the audacity to be Lakers after Kobe. Bron and AD are just built in a different way. They came here in spite of all the pressure and all those bright lights. Nobody predicted what would then happen to Kobe, but they have stepped it up even more again.

    Giannis can keep his little regular season award, LeBron’s hunting Finals MVP, the big one. I’ve put less and less stock into the MVP award as Shaq and Kobe each got one, as I saw criteria change and Westbrook win it on a 6th place team when Kobe didn’t get it in ‘06, as I watched Harden win it :sick:, as I watched Giannis win it back to back (he’s good, but come on). I doubt they give him MVP next season either, I would hope we round out the roster or add a really solid pg so he doesn’t have to carry us as much as he did this regular season. He’s got to be able to start lightening that load during the season if he wants to win multiple titles here. Not getting ahead of myself though, we are almost to one, jobs not done, gotta finish.

    My hate for LeBron took a huge hit when he took out Boston with that team of scrubs in the 2018 ECF, it was pretty much all wiped away last season, and it was erased forever the day Kobe passed, gotta celebrate greatness while it’s in front of you. Anyway, thought this was a good video and his tweet to go along with it
