I hope he plays Sunday. I managed to jump on Ticketmaster and get some sweet seats as soon as Shams announced the return.  |

ESPN just bumped the Nuggets/Jazz game next week in favor of Lakers/Blazers after it was announced LeBron will be back.

Nuggets and Jazz aren’t just some push over match up.. it’s good that we finally have that swagger again with the return of LeBron. |

Kobe will always be the better player, in my eyes… perhaps that’s my own bias.
The difference in this team though with and without Lebron (and every team he’s been on for that matter) is so substantial.. I think that says it all about his own greatness.
The man is just an unstoppable force and freak of nature. |

I wonder if LeBron will be on any kind of minutes restriction.

Vogel said no minutes restriction, just "responsible". |

From the Shams report, he will play unless something goes wrong at warm-ups. |

Vogel told Trudell not the same injury as AD so therefore max minutes for Lebron Lololol
In all seriousness No minute restriction for Lebron |

lol Lakers fans pissed off because Lebron made a tweet asking about gaming chairs.
I don't blame MJ one bit for keeping it about basketball. Fans are morons. |

MJ didn't play in social media world though. I'm sure the gambling angle would have been crazy on twitter. |

Yeah, Jordan would have got absolutely destroyed by many in the media without a doubt. He was kind of fortunate and played just before huge media coverage on sports blew up let alone social media. The gambling angle would have been ten times the story it is now regarding his career while off the court. I could see TMZ having multiple people following him 24/7 trying to catch him losing exuberant amounts of money at 4am on a game day.
You got DS and AD who are both somewhat big gamers it seems so I think it's a good thing he's involved in it. Fans are crazy though for sure regardless  |

You can see Lebron is still hurt. I think he probably forced himself back seeing how the team was playing the last couple of weeks. |

You are absolutely right. I see it and I know he isn’t 100 percent and I don’t see how the Lakers win it all without his 100 percent.
My hope is something James Worthy talked about that when you first come back from injury you are cautious than after a few games you get more aggressive.
So maybe he needs some time. |
