I hope James has a great season. Not much more he or his people can complain about.
He has his co-star (possibly stars) he has his new coaching staff and preferred style, he has multiple vets that will flock to join him instead of developing players.
No more excuses. Lakers are in the ultimate win now position as he wanted. So I expect a fully invested, motivated and incredible leader in James.
MVP and Championship or Bust.
Plus he no longer has to worry about stepping back and letting two former lottery picks try and figure things out or a bunch of one-year rentals showcase themselves for their next contract. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant

Who's going to do the BI iso plays this year when Bron's not in?

Sources: Space Jam 2, starring LeBron James, is expected to feature key roles for Damian Lillard, Anthony Davis and Klay Thompson and WNBA stars Diana Taurasi and Nneka Ogwumike. Several more NBA and WNBA players, including Chiney Ogwumike, are expected to play roles in film. _________________

Sorry if a re-post.
Brandon Ingram TAKES SHOTS At LeBron James On Instagram Live!
I was wondering when the media would turn that bs story into some fake manufactured drama.. This has already been debunked several times.. He's talking about a user in the instagram chat, not Lebron.. On top of that he already came out and said he wasn't taking shots at Lebron from the first people that tried to make this a story.

Thanks for that. Monster. Can't wait to see him with AD _________________ “God knew they couldn’t be on this Earth without each other. He had to bring them home to have them together.” – Vanessa Bryant
I truly hope so. They need James to be motivated and playing at a high level to reach the contender status we are all hoping for.
But at the sake of being a negative Nancy what if what we saw from James last year is James? Is the James we saw on the court last year enough?
Most acknowledge he is fading a bit on defense over the past couple years. Last year he was selective of when he put forth effort. Some suggesting he coasted at times.
I have pointed out before that it seemed unacceptable for him to be coasting. He just signed a new max contract to be the face of the Laker Franchise. And he was not invested? No excuses for that, if true.
Lakers have a lot riding on his buy-in. Not just this year but for the next few years of the franchise with Davis. James being invested and playing at MVP levels is a big factor in keeping Davis interested in staying with the Lakers IMO.

I think playing with players he trusts on the court will re-engage Lebron. He coasted for sure (coasted to 27/8/8), but I think he knew it was going to be a throw-away year.

A well rested and motivated LBJ/AD coming soon.

That is why I don’t get the great competitor vibe from Lebron, he just seems so manufactured. You see players on lottery teams pay it all on the line, but he isn’t one of them. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.

The Fumble is the worst youtube "media" around. Well, one of the worst. That channel is so dumb.

He’s gonna be in his 17th year with a ton of miles on those legs.
He’s been about the bigger picture since Miami. Ever watched young Lebron during those crappy Cavs days...he went balls to the wall every game.
I know will say “but, but, Kobe....” well, that got him injured unfortunately. Gotta be careful and pick and choose your battles when you are in the final stages of your career
