I agree with you, getting down on Lebron for simply stating the fact of the matter. He didn't say he is the smartest player ever or anything, just that he and Luke are both cerebral smart players.
Kobe like effort with the index finger of Luke’s shooting had taped and real tender and he goes out and handles the ball like that, play makes and hits 5 straight from deep. Considering what he’s said about the Lakers and being on this team no doubt that was the pinnacle of his career … best game of his life. Really happy for him. He’s such a an mart player.
