LeBron James has recorded at least 25 points, five rebounds, and five assists in 567 games, the most such games in NBA history.
To put that number in perspective, James Harden and Russell Westbrook have 515 such games...combined. |

This is really a crazy stat. |

He seemed to reach for his inner thigh at first. It was concerning to to say the least.

...some people will never be happy with this man. Thread's so quiet tonight, though  |
Still, shooting FTs under 60% in clutch situations should be a little bit of concern, especially in playoff perspective |
I mean, you want them both. I don’t think there is a better one necessarily.
FTs more important in the final few minutes, and clutch fadeaways more important in the final few possessions since the refs are less likely to call fouls.

| If playoff LeBron is the one we saw yesterday we are favourites to win the championship. The man is 35 but he seems far more younger. |

Playoff Lebron is more aggressive. Regular season Lebron doesn't want to get hurt and tank the season.
4/10 from 3 means I still think we're seeing regular season Lebron imo.
That fadeaway from Lebron was money, but he had 6 fadeaways in the 4th quarter of game 2 Toronto  |

Don't think he was sitting in the arena... ASmith only spoke to Rich Paul, and Paul told him that Lebron was in his own space. I assume he was in the Arena some where in private. Don't think he was anywhere in the first 10 rows. They spotterd a guy with a hoodie on behind AD, but it was Metta. |

Playoff Lebron won’t get to face teams like the Pacers/Hawks/Derozan Raptors anymore.
What the (bleep) is playoff Bron anyway? Hope we don’t see LoseinTheFinalsBron. |

Not interested in your tired agenda where Bron and Love losing against a team packed with 5 all stars is somehow and inditement on Lebron.
And if you're under the impression the West is still the more difficult conference then you haven't watched basketball this year. The Lakers hold a winning or tied record against every single top 8 Western Conference team except for the Clippers. And they haven't yet come close to their potential. If the Clippers lose in the first or second round, which is likely if they match up with the Rockets, the Lakers cake walk into the NBA Finals. |

Are you hoping he fails, and thus the Lakers fail?

He was there
He is under no obligation to speak about a man he barely had a personal relationship with.
Also.. some Men are trying to get past the tears and crying is exhausting fwiw

Barely had a personal relationship with? Are you kidding me? 
Those two were apparently MUCH closer than we knew. Even MJ and a host of others have all publicly come out about how much closer they were with Kobe than was known at the time.

I was not sure about Bron and Kobe being close off the court..
Either way. It is everyone's right to grieve as they see fit.. Nobody can judge that .. not imho.. unless it is self destructive grief |

They were very close. And as we've seen, Kobe was close to a lot of people even though his reputation was one of a recluse. Clearly he had lots of meaningful and deep relationships with folks that we never heard about, including with LBJ and MJ, two of the greatest ever.

Exactly they became very close in the last year....On Golic and Wingo this morning they said Dave McMenamin spoke to LeBron after the Sacto game the week Kobe died and LBJ told him this was the most difficult week in his life...Mac speculated the memorial may have been too emotionally difficult to go through this again. |

I think for LBJ, there may be that haunting feeling that he passed Kobe for 3rd all time scoring the night before his death, and that Kobe's last tweet on this earth was to LBJ, and he had a nice conversation with Kobe too the night before his death. It has to be one of those moments where it's a lot to process, especially if they became closer these past few years.
