    With this no defense era, it would be great for someone to get started, but it will take it once in a lifetime talent to pull it off

    Hard to imagine him last night that long, but he already has the old man game down at 24

    if he hasn't yet, i don't really see him doing it, tbh. he'll probably be like harden and make it longer than people expect but ultimately fall off in his mid-30s.

    I think people take for granted what it takes to do what Lebron has done. Just because someone balls at a young age doesn't mean they can carry that on for 20 years. Every time I see someone talking about one of these young guns I think of Tiger Woods who was a lock to break Jack's record. That back and a myriad of other things changed it all for him.

    Anyone can have a great run in them but it is a special talent to have a great AND long run in them.

    19-11-8, 50% FGs and only 31 minutes (fewest he's played since the Detroit game before the break).

    Quiet night offensively but we didn't need more. Instead he dialed it up defensively. We he's guarding Wiggins in the second quarter with playoff intensity, that informed the rest of the guys where they need to be at effort wise.

    Since when is that a basketball play? Or is the head part of the ball now?

    Since he became a Laker, Lebron is getting the Kobe treatment by the refs. He no longer gets the calls he used to. He gets mauled regularly and it’s not right.

    SGA' team has to be wondering how much money he's leaving on the table being in OKC.
    Good looking dude with fashion sense and a squeaky clean rep should be marketing gold.

    I still don't get why, and certainly not a fineable offense by any stretch, Jeanie doesn't order her video staff to do like a fifteen minute compilation of the most egregious no call fouls on LeBron and then her personally getting on the phone with Silver and telling him with no mincing of words that this is going on and needs to stop, and she is going to send him the video proof to look at. I guarantee it would get his attention and be passed downward to the head of referees to call the game fairly in his regard. Again, LeBron is NOT a semi dirty player like Shaq with his size and still his flying elbows. I think that crazy Stewart cat is one of the few times he ever cracked anyone that I recall looked like it might have been semi intentional.

    Lebron should throw more elbows and get more techs IMO. He's a GOAT. 21 years in, force the refs hand, nobody wants to see him getting tossed frequently. He should cash in on his rep and take matters into his own hands more.
