    Some say he’s mister empty stats and chases stats over winning plays and ends up with lots of turnovers. I don’t think they can say that today.

    sure, there are five turnovers, and he is the all-time career leader in them, but the 30 point triple double on the biggest stage at the age of 40? That’s pretty crazy.

    Checking out of a game in the mecca of basketball after carrying (basically) a wire to wire win against a legit Knicks team for your son after you secured a 30+ point triple double... I'm not sure it will ever get better for a NBA player ever.




    And if you didn't catch that stat line

    After seeing his start of the game, I thought oh s***, this is happening

    Just appreciate him while he’s here, he’s one of the best to ever do it, and we are going to notice his absence big time when he’s done. Some of the shots he’s making at this age just leave me shaking my head, nobody has ever been this good in year 22, or at age 40.

    I freeze framed him on the big screen and took a photo with my phone on that jump ball in the 2nd half. 40 years old and his standing vertical looked like 36”??

    Why do fans keep insisting the Lakers are trading LeBron? I keep saying people saying this crap all over X and social media. I think the plan I would think is for him and Luka to play alongside each other. Unless LeBron demands a trade I can’t see the Lakers trading him.

    He has a no trade clause. Unless he wants out and picks a specific team, he's not going anywhere.

    OK guys, how do we build around LeBron once Luka retires?

    The notion that this means we’re trading Lebron - while not impossible - seems far fetched. We just traded AD for a top 3 superstar. We have some holes that might be tough to fill this season, but there’s potential to compete now and for the next decade.

    You think LeBron wouldn’t want to play with Luka? ALL eyes will be on the Lakers the rest of this year and next. Can’t imagine LeBron doesn’t want to be part of that.

    yeah, said in another thread i don't see why this means lebron's gone. i actually think he was surprised by it, though, and if he asked out, we would honor it. i just don't think he will.
