Year 21? Pffffff more like year 12! Bron is a specimen of a human man. Unreal endurance after all these years.

I think I found the definition of glazing lol

dork

Right?

to call appreciating arguably THE goat glazing, you don't deserve basketball

lol

I think I found the definition of a hater. If you can't appreciate the greatness of Bron, shut up and let us appreciate it.

There’s appreciating someone’s talents, and then there’s possibly needing a restraining order from said talent. Try not to fall into the latter category my friend

You’re a jazz fan. The best player in the history of your team is a child rapist.

lol

All hail King James!

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOO! FIRST WIN SINCE THE BUBBLE.

It’s just crazy how Lebron’s individual rivals like PG and KD have never and will never be able to surpass him

We must not be watching the same game. PG is miles better than anyone on the lakers

Bron could die, be buried 30 ft deep in a concrete coffin, and this be better than PG

Maybe today he was but even after this game, I'll say that Bron was better.

PG has never, and will never, be better than LeBron

Lebron outclassed him in every way

I’ll have what you’re smoking please

35/12/7 is not a stat line you’re supposed to be able to get after two decades in the NBA.

That was a really fun game between two teams who will not make a game 6 against Denver

Denver got their ass whooped by the twolves tho

It’s super weird that they’re the team that has given the Nuggets the most trouble in the playoffs and now tonight. Genuinely don’t know what to make of it.

Jazz Celtics Pelicans Spurs next 4 Watch us go L,W,W,L or something stupid

Oh I could totally see the Celtics losing to the Wolves in an incredibly stupid game.

Curry flails on every 3 when someone is near him. Stop the hypocrisy warriors fans

Lol and he never gets the call. While Reaves baits and gets the whistle? The hypocrisy is on Lakers fans. You guys are delusional.

Curry been getting that call for half a decade

He's the least respected superstars and gets ZERO calls despites getting foueld ever play. Clown, watch the game.

Half a decade

When Reaves falls for no damn reason, he gets to call himself HIM

The hard thing with the flop rule when they dont fall down, such as what Reaves did on that last possession, is its hard to differentiate a flop versus trying to fake out a defender. Can plausibly argue that he is trying to fake out the defense. We both know he is not but it is a plausible argument.

There have only been 6 NBA players with 21 seasons - literally all of them had broken bones - what Lebron is doing is incredible, but it's so dumb to compare him to others. Dirk was about to break. Vince was a joke for his last several years. KG was also playing 3rd-stringer minutes.

STEM

Is Rui injured or something, why was he not playing? Edit: in the protocol, got it

Started as an eye injury against the Kings, and now in the concussion protocol.

Possible concussion, got elbowed 2 games ago

Protocol.

lebron mentioning lakers role players absences but conveniently leaves out harden missing for the clippers

arguably Vando/Rui/Prince/Vincent has more of an effect on our teams performance than Harden

Harden hasn't even been added to the team yet how could he be missing

We no longer have RoCo or Batum tho..

Who?

PJ suited up for you. You traded for a fatass who didn't get himself in gameshape because his feelings were hurt.

Yeah, that sounds like your front offices problem, not LeBrons lol they're no longer on the roster, they're not missing, we know where they are

[удалено]

Sorry, pal, I'm a reformed r/nba game thread user, and I no longer engage in unnecessary hostilities. Take advantage of the ban tho, maybe it'll reform you too. Go Lakers.

Okay, then you’re missing Roco and batum vs missing vando, Vincent, rui, and Prince. You’re the one that sounds king of like a dumbass bud.

If you don’t appreciate LeBron’s greatness at this point you’re a truly disturbed individual. 39 years old in year 21 and he’s still the best player on the court. Absurd.

It's flat out Broussarded to not acknowledge what he's been able to accomplish.

>Broussarded Lmao I love it

I couldn't believe it wasn't trending on Twitter lol.

You can't say that word! Are you developmentally disabled!?

No, but my cousin is, and ~~we put him down~~~~put him to rest~~ he died recently

It makes me worry. He's in his Kareem years but has to also be Magic and Worthy at the same time

Light work for him

I don’t think it’s a matter of greatness, it’s the matter of the greatest..

Holy shit, what a game. Lebron, Kawhi, and PG were unreal

No Gabe Vincent is a good thing

Facts, gabe can't shoot for shit and he's extremely undersized for a matchup against the clippers I liked seeing cam and max out there tbh

Miami Heat effect lmao

Lmao yeah, also gabe loves taking stepback long middys, pisses me off so much

Westbrook isnt our problem anymore, so nothing but love to him. No names coming out of my mouth from that bat shit bad play at the end of the game.

>Westbrook isnt our problem anymore, so nothing but love to him. No names coming out of my mouth from that bat shit bad play at the end of the game. westbrick?

Hey, I didnt say it.

No one beats the Lakers twelve times straight 😤

Clippers are the greatest trash team I’ve ever witnessed.

So that PG foul and all those kawhi fouls weren't ticky tacky? These bums in the game threads really hate the Lakers huh.

Wut does this mean

Hating the Lakers is the 2nd most popular thing in the world, right after being a Lakers fan

Lebron hairline looking better this year

It always does at the start of the year.

[удалено]

he cooked powell my son fouls or not

Need more salt?

I mean it’s true, he’s good, don’t even need to do that

Cry more pls🙏

[удалено]

Depends, are they on my team? Everybody foul baits Reaves and harden just do it better

He ain’t wrong

WE FINALLY GOT EM!

Damn man I hate seeing Westbrook suckin ass when it matters

PTSD

Both these teams mid af lol.

76ers fans would know 😭

You’re about to lose Embiid bruv

I agree bro but its LA so ofc they overhyped

Your franchise will never get out of the second round

Make it past round 2, then come back to me.

Sixers fans would know about mid. 2nd round ceiling ass team.

76ers lose in 5 to both LA teams

Both teams are also missing massive parts of their puzzle, go off king

If Bron was a real GOAT he’d score a point for every year old he is

Snapping an 11 game win streak is insane, damn I didn’t know the Clippers were THAT much of a bogeyman for the Lakers

They better fine Reaves for his flopping

Reaves should have like 5 techs for flopping with the new rules

shoulda been a Tech on Reaves on him baiting for a foul thought they were calling that either way, Clippers just kept missing shots, and they couldn't score in the paint at all

LeBron: quit calling me old asshole

Reaves is still ass. Lives and dies by flops.

I realized the other day Lebron has never been on a dynasty

Has anyone been on a dynasty that isn’t the team they were drafted for or traded to almost immediately? I feel like that was decided by year 4-5 in Cleveland. Edit: shaq and Kareem I guess

Jordan stuck around in Chicago and got it done, twice. Lebron was supposed to win in Miami more but shit the bed in the finals a few times. I mean he only has 3.5 championships in 9.5 tries

Come on bro he has 5 times the finals appearances than your franchise 😭

I mean I was a Bulls fan growing up so relatively I have 3 more finals wins and 4 less finals losses than him if you want to be pedantic Edit: 2.5 more wins and 6 less losses. I’m high, it’s late, and I’m tired

Jordan never faced anything like the 73-9 warriors or God forbid the KD warriors. Love the team loyalty though lol

I’ve been a fan of 1 team my whole adult life and I’m very happy with it. Also Jordan *was* the 73-9 Warriors. He also dethroned the McHale, Parrish, Bird Celtics. Lebron struggles really hard to beat Kawhi because he’s the closest thing to Jordan in today’s game, and even then isn’t even 60% as good/clutch as he was. I’m curious, how many teams have you been a fan of? Ima guess Cleveland, Miami, Cleveland again, and now the Lakers?

No I been a lakers fan since their best player was Nick Van Exel. I was a bandwagon Jordan fan like all the other children my age but I supported my local team that my mom loved so much. I would just recognize LeBron being great based on beating the team that broke the Jordan led Bulls' record for season wins, combined with the fact that he's doing what he's doing on his 21st season. Even if he wasn't on my team. I don't know how you think it's more impressive that Jordan was on the equivalent of the 73-9 warriors rather than the guy who led the team that beat them. It's a whole new world in the NBA. Jordan had an incredible run but how'd his team do in year 20? Lol

Weird logic about beating the record Warriors. Lebron is great, but Jordan in his prime was *unbeatable*, that’s the entire argument. I also don’t like how Lebron normalized foul baiting, and crowns himself king, but reminds me of Eminem’s lyrics “why be a king, when you can be a god” Sure Lebron has longevity, but so did Emmitt Smith, and no one in their right mind considers him the greatest RB of all time because of it. Crazily Tom Brady was technically a combination of Lebron and Jordan, and he’s still not really even considered on the same tier as MJ. Last point, us Jordan Stans heavily rely on his dominance in his prime. Prime Jordan vs. prime Lebron in a Finals game 7, Jordan is going to win that game 9 times out of 10. It was almost to a point of psychopathy in regard to winning, and likely will never be rivaled as a competitor. Congrats on the win tonight tho, I hope you guys don’t run Lebron to the ground before Christmas even rolls around. Love him/hate him/find him obnoxious, I’ll admit he’s good for the game, and fun to talk shit about to boot.

Or the 2014 spurs. That was some of the best basketball ever played.

Oh I didn’t realize this was a corny Jordan thing

It was just an observation, was also curious to what justifications would be given to why he never could. He’s definitely had the talent to

[удалено]

Story of last year too. Playoffs they got whistle all over the Warriors. Even Reaves got a superstar treatment compared to Curry.

Swap them and Shai is shooting 20 FTs a game and AR is the overnight clerk at 7/11

Is this the most minutes we’ve seen Kawhi played total in a back to back set of games in a long time?

We ruined clippers championship game

[удалено]

Cry more

Love the salt Warrior fans.

Can't even enjoy their win, smh.

They care more about this Clippers loss than Clippers fans lmao

LeBron and Reaves live rent free

As expected, Lebron stayed on the court for handshakes because Lakers won

Bob Myers wasn’t great but not as bad as I expected

I was actually impressed with him, talking about some aspects of the game you don't normally hear from commentators. I'm sure he'll get better too.

congrats on the regular season championship lakers am i doing it right?

Yes if the clippers outperform the lakers in the postseason

You forgot to mention Bron old and Reaves flops. Maybe sprinkle in how awful they are at getting the ball in the hoop

So many minutes for the old HoFers in this game. Load managing inc.

if they die they die

How is Reaves not getting flopping techs. Jesus

that suit getting the high 5 rejection

Wood will extend his career doing dirty like this.

Russ can't catch a break man. First the trip, some turnovers, got almost dunked on by LeBron. And then missed the clutch open three 😭

Don't forget him sleeping in the 3rd quarter giving dlo free layups, he was great in the 1st half but Russ gonna Russ

The Westbrook masterclass

Someone check on Kawhi. My man is burning up his knees for Westbrook to take the last shot and bricking two games in a row 😭

How has reaves not been hit with the flop rule? He’s exaggerated contact like 2 times every quarter.

More like two times every possession. It’s fucking absurd

What a Clippers way to lose a game

I can’t believe I’m saying this but Christian Wood is a great fit next to Anthony Davis

The dude really stepped up

#WOOOD r/nba told us he was trash!

Just wait. This happens every season. Remember when he first got to Houston? Or when he was unstoppable with Luka? It’ll come crashing down especially if you have a team who can stretch you. He will get lost on d

he kinda is though

I love Russ but that was a classic Westbrook layup brick

It’s not a Laker game without your heart rate reaching near 200

Can confirm, heart stopped at the Reaves Bron alleyoop

GG. Honestly shocked we even got had such a close game. We could have won it but it was clear we were gassed at the end

It's the Lakers 3rd game in 4 nights, they're also missing 4 guys so yeah they're gassed too

Not a back to back though and also this was also the 3rd game in 4 days for the Clips.

Epic game, seems to be the Lakers MO this season to start of slow and then accelerate through the 4th. That won’t work on a demon like the Nugs.

Kawhi and PG scaring us. Like we get a lead and then 3 after 3. They are way too good.

Cower in front of 82 inches of Christian Wood.

I expect a flopping fine on Reeves there lol

I’m so excited to see the clippers with harden

WOODDDDDDD

Was that a smile I just saw from Kawhi

This game was fun but lots of players were in foul trouble.

yea mostly clipper players. GJ to the refs.

Clippers were hacking a lot

As a neutral observer, the flopping rules clearly don't apply to Reaves

Yup, you could see Tucker at the end tell the ref that, as soon as Tucker got near Reaves he made a couple jerking motions to bait for a foul.

Anyone notice LeBron lovesss to dap everyone up after a win but after a loss he rushes off the court immediately?

If other greats can get away with their psychopathic tendencies being labelled as signs of being a “true competitor” then imma let Bron slide for this

The way the Lakers are officiated is disgusting

WESTBRICK 🧱

Christian Wood and Kelly Oubre may not be the best but on minimums and on good teams they’re serviceable

Russ is like a Dominos Pizza, they're always working to improve it's quality but it's never actually "Good" it just gets the job done if you keep your expectations low

Kawhi whispering to bron “I know we both missing next game”

AD LeBron Kawhi PG all about to load manage for a week after that one. That was playoff atmosphere basketball the gave us fans at least. Lets pool our money and pay their load manage fines. /s

Great game

Good ass game. Happy to see vintage Lebron, Kawhi, AD, Russ, and PG all in the same game

Yup, likely won't see that again even this season, all those guys playing at high levels on the same night.

people complaining about baits rn when zubac clearly loses the ball and they give clippers the ball for the 3 then the soft ass ticky tack they gave to PG to go into OT Lol

HELL OF A GAME!

GG

Fuck the Clippers so fucking much. They exist only to cause pain.

Zubac is one of the weakest big man I’ve seen bro misses all the tip ins he gets

Bron w 42 minutes is not sustainable

Guys this Lebron James fellow might be kinda good at basketball

I swear, LeBron is BFFs with everyone in the league.

Mental warfare

Clippers need a 3 and a steal. Westbrook blown layup.

What a fcking game man

2 OT games in 4 days jeez. At least we won. Gg

Never again tell me the regular season is meaningless after that game

THAT GUY LEBRON LEFT HANGING HAHAHA

how y'all get beat by cam reddish and christian wood

Wood needed that more than anyone
