    The only people that know for sure are those who attended the parties.

    I agree with this. I definitely don’t like him as a person based on many things- some which can’t be discussed here. That being said, I respect what he’s done on the court and he’s definitely the GOAT of his generation, just like Jordan was of his, and Kobe his.
    I thank the great Dr. Buss for building the best Franchise in Professional sports, one that will forever be a team that most great players will want to play for. The good players that say they don’t are just lying.

    Dr Buss chased the stars, and he took care of them, when he got them. That novel idea, is what made us who we are, and that premise should be continued, if we want to stay, who we were.

    F
    A fake AI image, that was thoroughly debunked, as soon as it circulated. As it usually goes with the internet tho, it will be recirculated and some folks will believe it's real, until it gets debunked again. And some folks will still believe it's genuine anyway.

    This ain’t 1980 or 2000. New CBA was the third and final CBA of the last 20 years that finally put the stake in the Lakers skull. Lakers will never be able to do what they used to do because the restrictions are at top peak. You need to start focusing on that or you’ll be yapping about trade scenarios that will never happen because your brain is stuck in 2004.

    He's not going anywhere. We have a rare break in the schedule and if you include a couple games that were predetermined, it's a nice break.

    He's going to retire a Laker. Kobe didn't care nearly as much about the ceremony as Bron does. He's going to give Silver notice before his final season unless a career ending injury takes him out. Silver needs to make as big of a year long celebration of it as he can and milk ratings and tickets. League is struggling right now.

    This is the only thing that caught my attention


    Klutch medical often don't update the team until it's gametime though, so that's not surprising. JJ is just being 100% honest.

    So did the C Bags or Suns, get your memo about the new CBA? Meh.. Teams will adjust and find a way or the CBA itself will get adjusted, it's not all this gloom and doom, that you propose IMO.

    i think this is why i was wondering if the personal reasons stuff was really about whether it's worth it to continue on with the injury management. i suspected that this was the same foot issue that he's been having forever, and he confirmed it.

    i think jj may have gotten through to him on some minutes and games reduction, too.

    Was nice to see him back and looking good on the floor. Hopefully we can figure out some kind of plan that works for him.

    Honestly I don't want LeBron playing more than 32mpg going forward. I think that is optimal for him because anythign after that becomes him chucking long contested 3's, and not playing good defense and basically being an orange cone on that end.

    Glad he's back...but let's not overplay him in these games where it becomes law of diminishing returns....

    he's in denial as to his physical limits, but his foot is falling off and not healing

    Time for JJ to overrule and do what is best for Bron and the team. Have the tough conversations.

    That's the interesting part. This is his left foot. The one that's given him trouble in recent years is his right. Buha combed through his injuries here with LA, there's been nothing publicly about the left. He's had a lot of lower extremity stuff and maybe it was linked there or maybe he just kept this off the books. But if both wheels are bad, as they should be given the miles, that's not great.

    Lebron doesn't always tell the truth.

    The " The Lebron of feet" might be a quack. We still haven't seen Vanderbilt either.
