    Rabid fans for any team go to extremes positively and negatively. In their Prime or aged and one foot in the grave, fans will be merciless.

    Being able to get this high at 41 is pretty unbelievable.

    Dude is freakin insane. Don't let the hate make u miss out on what this guy is doing. There's no chance in hell, we'll see anything like that in our lifetime again.

    I agree, what we're seeing is special.

    It is truly special, and we should appreciate greatness. I'm pretty sure we'll see even better players in our lifetime though. Basketball evolves, just as every science around it (including various kinds of boosters ;)), and better and more durable players are the end result.

    Looked a lot more fluid out there than vs the Cavs. Think that game took a lot out of him emotionally.

    A player in their prime dunking like that is noteworthy. In their 40s... WILD.

    He’s still a defensive force, if healthy, when the chips are down and not gassed from bad minutes management. That athleticism, size and strength get channeled. Pacing himself through the season at 41 issn’t that guy.

    He's been a freak on defense in the 4th if the Lakers are in it. I get the concerns part of the reason they got blown out is Lebron doesn't go all out on D till 4th and his off ball defense blows but the paradox is they are really good in clutch games because Lebron turns into a force on that end.

    It was funny in the Clips game where Kawhii ran away from both Lebron and Vando

    Lebron is probably still the best defensive player we have - outside of Vando when he’s on.
