    To me this means he’s no longer taking the game as seriously as he once did.

    that being said, I give the pairing of those two 1 year before splitting.

    His body language of late during games just tells, whatever he gives us is a bonus.

    We can't have a player taking that much cap space but plays a role short.

    I would love for him to sign with us but on reduced salary. Or a sign and trade so we can get some pieces back.

    If we had another scorer and a big we could accommodate him

    b*******..Lebron James, is still the best player on the team, at 39 years old, that s*** is ridiculous. He is NOT my favorite player, even on this team, (I think his team leadership is downright terrible) but damn..

    It's damn near a crime, for the oldest player in the NBA, to still be our most reliable scoring threat, AND, when engaged, he is still a better defender, than Austin, Rui and D'Angelo! And the 1st two are 2 of my 3 favorite players on this team.

    These young Bucks need to step their a**** up IMO.

    He’s ego would never allow him to take less for the betterment of the team.
    You didn’t know he’s the undisputed “GOAT?”

    Why should he take less? He's still the best player on the team.

    We are over the salary cap anyway, James taking less money, doesn't give us more money , to sign some other player. We have his Bird's Rights.

    Taking less money only allows Jeanie, to save some cash. He'd be stupid to do that IMO.

    AD is the best overall player. He's elite both ways. Lebron is still a juggernaut on offense but we live and die with AD now.

    Anthony Davis is highly dependent on the playmaker in this team, we have nothing to lie. It is no coincidence that there were matches in which he scored only 8-9 points.

    First time I've ever heard of an NBA game - or any basketball game, ever - called a "match." Kudos!

    Lebron will ask for everything. Will the current family-run establishment shell it out? Does it have it? When you're that rich already, where's your head at? Wanting half a billion? I mean...

    We'll see. I've been fortunate enough to see his first game with CLE right out of HS. Lebron James has been one of my favorite artists, in any medium, for 21 years now. But business is business. It should be interesting, if not maddening to us mortals.

    19 at the half, i believe 12 in the first. Really established the offensive tone early with the we're bigger on you and are going to get where we want in the post.

    Always nice when we're able to keep his minutes down against a (another) bad team.

    Not bad for an old man

    Haven't listened yet today but a lot of the quotes have already gone viral.

    Here's some...






    we're going to get a lot of these kind of self promoting ones throughout the pod's run. I just can't for the "I scouted x player when he was in the 6th grade" ones, those are my personal favorite.

    So humble. He’s such a great role model to all young basketball players.

    it pains me that I'll never have time to listen to a podcast with my favorite player, but we all must suffer small things in life I suppose

    Good listen so far.

    Nice to hear guys actually dive into real hoops instead of another round of who's the goat or who was feared and the other nonsense that passes for nba commentary these days.
