Love how Lebron has been playing as of late, it's amazing to see. So glad this guy is a Laker  |

Noticed that too! Probably just tired. At least Tyson and Hart were excited

He just makes it look so effortless.
Like Kobe, he takes shots that you wouldn’t think would go in...but SPLASSHHHHHH.
He’s also at the same time looking to get everyone else involved. It’s a great balance. He’s been able to master his craft, and his ability to make everyone else look JV in comparison so effortlessly is why he’s the current King of LA.
You give this guy one established all star scorer and it’s game over.
We’ve played pretty well all considering. Our record isn’t reflective of how good we can be. We could easily be 5 or 6 games over 500 barring some late game mistakes early on. Will we have some games where we struggle? Certainly, that happens to every team (see Golden State). But I believe we are truly one piece away from actually contending. Where as right now, I think we are the “sleeper” team that nobody else in the West wants to face in the first or second round of the post season, and that’s because of the ability of King James.
Ah it feels good to have that guy again...it truly does. I love this franchise so damn much.

BI was just disappointed Bron didn't take more contested mid-range shots.

We can package Kuz/Ingram/Lonzo for AD maybe? |

I would package up 2 out of the 3. Wouldn’t be too high about trading all 3. Reminds me of the rumors of Garnett back in the day (remember getgarnett.com?), we essentially had to gut the team to get him...but luckily, with patience, we got Gasol for pennies. I think the franchise is patient enough to wait until next summer, and see what happens. Although if the deal was actually on the table, it would be tempting, I can’t deny that.

One can argue that 33/34 year old LeBron is actually better than 24 year old LeBron.
Minus maybe the dunking ability, which he hasn’t lost much of, he’s a much more rounded player today then he was then.
People might point to his defense, but he’s still a great defender when he turns it on. The league is different now then it was 10 years ago, and defense in general across the board in the NBA has dipped since then.

You mean a guy who is so good, that everyone else on the court at all times looks JV in comparison? Yup, I concur.

If Kobe was the Lord of the Rings, then LeBron is Lord of the Kings.

| People on twitter are saying Stephenson bet Lebron he wouldn't take a three, and that Lebron was pointing at Lance at the end of the game? |

ahhh getgarnett - now those were good times. never was a fan of shipping out Bynum-LO-Farmar, 3 first round picks etc for him as that would have left us gutted. that said, i'd be fine trading Kuz/Ingram/Zo for Davis. AD is only 25, so that trade would have the interesting connotation of actually investing in the team's long term future.
BUT there's no way NO would accept that offer. |

@SportsCenter
@KingJames became the 3rd player to score 45+ pts in their 16th season or later. The other two: Kobe and Kareem.

Man once we get another proven all star next to him (next year most likely).
