Could care less if James goes to a party. As long as he plays hard on the court.

He is human and has a life. He can attend charity events, kids events, strip clubs or attend business meetings all he wants as long as his primary goals and focus remain as a Laker and his on court performance.

So far I'm seeing some issues with his focus. If it is related to over booking his time to promote his business interests or the James Empire then I have a real problem with it.

The Man has been given the max contract and pedestal to be the Lakers team leader on and off the court for the young guys. Is James a Laker for the next three years to win games or sell his Brand?

Don't tell me, show me! Lets see where the next ten games leaves them.

LeBron’s defense was awful last night... same with everybody else. There’s no need to sugarcoat LeBron’s defensive effort last night and definitely no need to exaggerate the doom and gloom scenario.

We’re taking our early lumps 10 games in, Even with Prime Dwade and prime Bosh, it took LeBron 20 games just to get to 0.500, let’s see how we do by Xmas


Your making a lot of sense in this lively debate even Javale had a bad game defensively and he's the best we have Lebron is still a great player but he's getting old and your not going to get great defense at this stage in his career and the FO knew that when they signed him.They may have to slow down the pace to help him some and bring in some good shooters in free agency.


We'll see if T.Chandler and the somewhat improved Zubac can shore up our defense the way McGee has. The small ball doesn't work because unlike Draymond who bangs hard and has an active hand, Kuzma and LeBron simply don't. Kuzma just can't, LeBron doesn't do it until 2 minutes left in the game (and I don't blame him, he won't last 4 years if he plays like Draymond). I put it on the coach who set up that lineup

On a side note, if we strike out, might as well offer Draymond the max and pried him off GS (but somehow gotta retain McGee/Rondo and maybe Lance)

You don't have to watch film, shoot free throws, or anything else right after a game is over. That is ridiculous. There's nothing wrong with him attending his friend's party and supporting him.

Being a basketball player doesn't mean you're no longer allowed to have any semblance of a life outside of basketball. It will never cease to amaze me that people actually think this way.


I don't recall Kobe going out to clubs and parties.


No one else is like Kobe because Kobe is kind of psycho. Normal players have social lives and get sleep. Or, in the case of equally psycho Jordan, go out al night gambling and then drop 50 the next day. Why does everyone have to have Kobe’s lifestyle? Last I checked Lebron actually monitors his sympathetic vs parasympathetic nervous system and tries to get enough parasympathetic stimulation to encourage recovery. Going to a party sounds like he’s doing what he should be doing to relax. These guys can’t all be genetic freaks in the same way: Kobe could live without sleep and didn’t feel pain; Lebron has a photographic memory and the sensory skills of a master sommelier. All the accesory traits are random. Oh, and going back to revieofilm and Bron’s Memory: I would guess he’s perfectly able to review all the details of the game in his head while drinking wine and having a conversation. It’s not fair, but he’s that talented. Not stop being jealous you weren’t invited to the parry.

The man drops 7 figures yearly to maintain his body, that's dedication. At least financial dedication. Kinda like if you make $35000/yr, you spend at least $1000 (that's a good chunk)

Yeah, but Kobe was pretty much a social recluse. LeBron has always had an outgoing happy-go-lucky aura around him. Not really a fair comparison.

Michael Jordan was also a guy who went drinking and partying after games... Kobe grew up with more of a sensitive personality.

Kobe again huh?


Yep.


So?

Is Kobe coming back from retirement to save us right now? Is he available so we could trade LeBron for Kobe now?

Fans living in the past instead of the now.

I’m confident KD or KL would be unfavorably compared to Kobe too.

So as a fan, I want to hear that after a humiliating loss... at home court no less... Lebron spent 10 hours working on foot work, defensive drills and free throws. That illustrates commitment. Going out to party with P Diddy and the Bad Boy crew right after a sub par performance tells me you don't give a ____ about where the team is headed. It tells me you are OK with what just happened. Kobe was focused, and that should be the bar

Any player that spent 10 hours working after an NBA basketball game would have nothing left, play worse and drastically increase the risk of injury. It is impossible and no one who knows anything about basketball or physiology or common sense will agree with you, so if that is your expectation, please realize this it is absurd, will never happen and that you will be condemned to a life of LeBron hating forever.

Kobe’s literal friend was basketball. He had no social life. Derek Fisher was reportedly the only teammate he invited to his house. Kobe is cut from a different cloth. If not a Star basketball Player he could have easily been American Psycho also.

Anyone with an ounce of common sense shouldn't expect any player to overwork themselves. Of course, players are human, and need rest to recuperate. I don't believe anyone is expecting Lakers players to go through some kind of "Rocky montage" type of workout, on their off days.

That said, an argument could be made that extra film sessions, team defense oriented practices, could take the place of partying. On the other hand, players do need their personal space, to decompress. Playing these games is as much a mental ordeal, as it is physical. In the end, it's all about finding the right balance.

Magic Johnson was also notorious for hosting Hollywood parties and partying in clubs during the season while he was still playing. Read his book.

He would go to clubs on the road or host parties with best friend Arsenio Hall at his own mansion.

Magic was even partying 2 days after he took his HIV tests while the Lakers were playing pre-season games getting ready to start the new season.

He should at least be making the finals every year if he wants a social life.

Apparently Lebron went to P Diddy's party after the game.

Magic Johnson was also notorious for hosting Hollywood parties and partying in clubs during the season while he was still playing. Read his book.

He would go to clubs on the road or host parties with best friend Arsenio Hall at his own mansion.

Magic was even partying 2 days after he took his HIV tests while the Lakers were playing pre-season games getting ready to start the new season.


The difference is the Lakers were winning championships then...just sayin'. Sure party all you want if you are winning and dominating.


how do you win a championship in 10 games?


He should at least be making the finals every year if he wants a social life.


He should only go out for dinner if the team wins and have to brown bag it after losses.
