    It's still unreal to see this guy in a Lakers uni. Same for AD. He has completely turned our franchise around and it's awesome to see. I was a hater forever and now I am truly appreciating all that Lebron does on the court and off.

    Last night he was so clutch down the stretch on both sides of the ball. He sealed the deal and showed why he's the best leader in the game even 17 years in. I'm hoping for big things this year.

    Not sure I've seen LeBron play Defense with that much intensity before.. Very impressive.

    I was excited before even seeing the quality of his defense. It was hype just to see him so clearly seeking out Kawhi and Paul George in big moments on the defensive end.

    Offensively, I think he just needs a little time to find his groove.

    I love it. Still pissed to this day, Kobe's Lakers didn't play him in the Finals. Also pissed, that he and Kobe couldn't wear P&G at the same time. That would be 2000-2003 level of dominance.

    Relax, haven’t done anything yet. Last year you didn’t even make the playoffs big guy. But enjoy, and prove all your doubters wrong.

    Hard to judge this team with Lebron clearly not giving too much of a crap outside of the Clippers game.
    He's not posting up, he's not driving to posterize and get the And1 (going in for layups), etc.

    Welcome to post Miami regular season Lebron again once they had their statement game win.

    i'm totally fine with keeping him out. no reason for him to play back to backs and risk injury. keep him rested for the playoffs

    I'm hearing rumors that he has a sports hernia which would be bad. Don't know if this is disinformation but I'm concerned

    Is this likely the same (strain) he's been fighting since last year off and on? Yeah agree .... not good.

    Shut him down for the rest of these games and limit AD’s minutes. 1 seed is locked up and it’s not worth the risk. Let the other guys play and try to find some shooting rhythm. More Cook too. AC is looking a bit overworked

    He rested for 4 months!
    He needs to play at least 25mpg to get rhythm

    Not worried about his health , the comments he made about something he/Lakers can't controlled which is going on off the court are weird though

    As great as a player he is, Lebron is definitely a drama queen. If there was an offcourt issue why even bring it up? Why bring attention to it when the team is not playing well? Prima Donna tendencies he brought over from CLE and MIA

    Lebron is old and frail tbh. Hopefully he's available for part of the playoffs.
