And yes those players combined have 4 titles playing with LeBron. Don't really care these players think he might be 'ruining' their game as long as they're winning chips, and neither do I.


Really man?

Chris Bosh developed a heart issue and Kevin Love battled depression playing with LeBron... I don't think it's coincidence at all.

Getting the blame for everything negative that happens and none of the praise for the good things is par for the course when playing with LeBron. Have you ever worked in a toxic environment? People develop all types of physical and mental ailments in these conditions. It's real.


Bro what???

lmfaoooo, I'm literally laughing out loud because of how absurd this post is


I mean, you can think it's absurd; that's fine.

However... Why don't players want to play with LeBron then? Must be something to it.

Nobody wants to work in a toxic environment. Especially when the source of toxicity is the person who runs the operation.


Shaq and Kobe hated each other all the way to a three-peat. Kobe punched Walker in the mouth because he owed Kobe $200. We had Headband Dwight. Those were toxic environments. I think Lebron is fine.

I'm expecting a vintage 40-45 point explosion by LBJ tonight. 2 starters gone, Lakers 0-2, people questioning him? He's going to go off.

Yeah tonight might be one of those “screw the big picture” type nights. Lakers need a win and Lebron probably needs to take over just to ease the pressure for a winless team.

I don't like the Rondo/LBJ starting lineup pairing.

Rather have Lonzo if he can shoot 4-8 from 3s like he did on Houston. That was my favorite moment(s) from that game. Lonzo cuts/moves off ball, and can direct an offense. If he can shoot, well he's better than Rondo easily (as he is already a superior defender).

I think Rondo is better served on the 2nd unit organizing it.

Agreed, and to add, I don't like Rondo/Ingram/Lebron together. Let Lonzo start so Ingram can handle the ball more and Rondo can dominate the ball with the 2nd unit. I think a big part of Ingram losing it on Saturday was his frustration with the lack of touches.

Yeah. LBJ is a given. But Rondo starting has really diminished BI even more.

Put Lonzo in and the flow will be better.

2nd unit would be better with Rondo running things too instead of Lance (who seems to be a de facto "PG" in that unit for some reason).

I understand OPs perspective. I think if we can separate the 2 aspects of what he's saying, it'll make sense.

1. Can playing with Lebron hinder your numbers? YES
2. Can playing with Lebron get you a ring? YES


But I don't know about the heart condition and depression thing being caused by Lebron. I didn't read up on when Love starting having depression, but if it was during his time in Cleveland, perhaps it could have been contributed to being expected to win championships and the pressure that came with it and not solely on playing next to Lebron. And the heart issue? No comment.

You think a 33-34 year old Kobe goes out and decks CP3 or gets suspended?

Huh? I think we talking about different thing Yin

I don’t see Kobe ever going to the opponent first right after a teammate fight and embrace the guy. Kobe would go to the Lakers player first

I just can't remember him doing that though later in his career. I think when you reach that emeritus status you're out there trying to keep the peace. Understand that CP3 is his boy, godfather to his kids. Maybe if this is say Marcus Morris he may act differently, but I'm not worried about him trying to calm his best friend down.

But Kobe didn’t.

You can watch him holding back Baron Davis then talking to him afterwards, not to Lamar Odom.

Guys like Kobe/LBJ when they hit their mid-30s, they are not going to get into the fray. They're literally the faces of the NBA and won't. CP3, well, he's been a little instigator and as he ages it seems worse.

I believe LeBron will always be judged with a double-edged sword with this fan base. Most everyone seems okay with Rondo punching CP3 but pretty sure if it was LeBron who did that to the Godfather of his child, you know a lot of people here especially the anti-Lebron crowd will be calling him out for being stupid to get himself ejected and suspended.

Actually if someone, even The Godfather to his child, put his fingers and pushed Lebron forehead back, I expect Lebron to do something about it

Ohhh LeBron James retained Chris Paul and calmed him down hes a bad teammate!

Cmon man we gotta stop making a big deal out of nothing

No doubt. And like I said, there will still be a lot of fans here who will find ways of condemning him for losing his cool and getting himself ejected during a close game and suspended indefinitely for multiple more.
