LeBron James Discussion: Not Returning To The Lakers

Worldwide Lakers fans for the win. (even with China likely on blackout now)

 

he's been in the league so long he played against horace grant

 

He gave the Hawks the Kings treatment. His 3 was off most of the night, but you could just see he wasn't going to do more than he needed to until it was time to put them away. Annnnd then he dialed it up in the 4th.

I guess now that he’s trying, he can stay.

…. you know you love me c’mon.

Suck up smh

 

He had quite a poor three quarters. Then turned it up and dominated the fourth. For someone who gets painted as not clutch, he did some wonderful work closing things out.

Unbelievable at 37!

 

2 seasons ago for the championship was needed to be the de facto point guard and led the NBA in assists for the first time. Now he’s needed to be a starting center most games and is dominating and contributing hugely doing that by becoming the BEST “small ball” center in the league! And scoring 30 points a night plus playing well in all other facets of the game …. at 37!

 

Lebron is modeling what it should look like at center for AD. I hope AD is taking notes. His 37 year old teammate is showing toughness and leadership while doing whatever is needed for the team to succeed. Here’s hoping AD comes back reinvigorated and ready to take the mantle at center and run with it.

 

Yes. But. AD doesn’t have James’s full repertoire of skills on offense. 3 ball, elite passing, handles and probably several more including strength and back to the basket when needed. I’d let him play his weiner face up PF game and be happy. Plus @KareemtheGreat33 wants him skinny again.

 

Im shocked he "aged" this well. I always knew, he would be an elite playmaker late into his career, but what he does out there, on both ends of the floor, it just blows my mind. Dude is one in a billion, most def in the GOAT conversation, all while wearing P&G.
As a fan, im loving every second of it. Thank you Bron.

 

This guy has been on an absolute tear. He's definitely stepped up when the team needed it most.

 

Thanks for showing up tonight. Shame the rest of the roster decided to phone it in.

 

He needs to show up defensively. The team would benefit more if he spent more energy on that end of the court at the cost of NOT being maximized offensively (which the team is hell bent on focusing)

This Center experiment seems very gimmicky ala 2019/2020 Rockets with Russ/Harden as it opens up the paint. Scoring a lot of points, not apt defensively and very poorly prepared against playoff competition.

Its time to play Dwight more and shore up the defense

This Lebron at C crap needs to stop, they're not beating any quality teams running that

^ If the team is serious about winning a championship, they are misguided in thinking Lebron at C where he is being maximized offensively is the formula, since they're sacrificing their defense and not becoming a more lethal playoff opponent
