I genuinely love this. He knew his game was off and that he had been shooting like shit all night. He saw the open man. He made the smart play like he always does.
Absolutely everything has to come to an end. If it wasn't now, it would have been another game in the future. But the reason LeBron has enjoyed such a long and successful career is because he plays team ball. This is just a continuation of that.
I the biggest LeBron fan but hooper, this to me was just another example of him shying away from historical shots. Reeves made the right play he should’ve stepped in and hit that three continuing the streak in a historic and clutch way.
I’ve always been a Nikola Jokić and Kobe Bryant guy so I’ve never liked LeBron James. With that said, the way he’s embraced a lesser role on that team and is now creating plays for other guys is truly impressive and I gotta give him his props for that.
It’s not an act of selflessness, dude was 4-17 from the field, dude was not hitting the ocean, and he was well defended as he was driving in . Therefore he had to pass the ball. Lebron didn’t “sacrifice “ his streak nor was it an act of “selflessness “ just stop

Ummmm… there was never a streak. Once again, like most of lebronze career, this is made up. His "streak" ended in 2014 v. Indiana. He scored 7….. in a playoff game mind you. The ACTUAL streak belongs to….. pfff do I even have to say the name?? 😅😅😅😅 they call him "AIR ". Also, he didnt sacrifice shyt. He TRIED 18 shots to try and get his 10, he just trash at shooting so he couldn't. Not being able to is not a sacrifice, its a reality. 8 points on 17 shots is diabolical unhinged work fam. Buddy is 🗑🚮
He made the right played if you look 👀 at the game last night they was double team LeBron James every time he drive or post up inside of the 3️⃣ point line last night smart played because soon 🔜 he drive with the 🏀 they surrendered or whatever you won’t to called it be my guest surrounded him & LeBron James got eyes 👀 in the back of his head like teammate Luka when he started to drive he dishes it out like DoorDash at your door 🚪 👌🏾 then soon 🔜 he passed it to Rui ik it was green bean immediately when the defender try run 🏃🏾♂️ out there it was over. LeBron James could’ve got that 2️⃣ points easy or a foul probably right play at the right time
He will gain some fans back for doing what he did. 😅 I've never been a LeBron fan but I really respect what he did , to be able to win a game. Probably,his greatest assist ever..That's awesome
Wrong. He knew he wasn't going to make that shot, that's why he passed the ball. Let's be for real. How many chances has he had to make the game winner or to tie it up but yet "chose" to pass it
He’s always made the right play when it came down to it but had this been 10 or even 5 years ago he’d be getting obliterated by the media for not forcing the last shot

Foaming at the mouth
Old Kobe would have shot it and missed it😂 4-17 is also about right
Leglaze

He probably thought that Rui was himself, camped out in the corner.
Michael Jordan holds that record lol. Why would you not count playoff games?
8 points, 12 assist, 0 turnovers.
Still better than most PGs in the league
Legoat!!!!!
he was 4-17 he didn’t chose shit 😂
Oh well, he has generational money to feed like 100 families
Who cares

leflop…lebalco…lebum….lebronze
Does the 8 pointer game in the 2011 NBA Finals not count in the streak since it playoff basketball? Kudos, Great streak regardless!!!
The selflessness narrative, sybau
He knew he had 8 points and knows his streaks. That was awesome.
Toronto= LeBronto🔥
That streak is older than most careers. Its pretty safe.
All I know is Jordan averaged 20 a game at 40 while Bron is averaging 14 looking very Dramondish 😂💯
I’ve always been a Nikola Jokić and Kobe Bryant guy so I’ve never liked LeBron James. With that said, the way he’s embraced a lesser role on that team and is now creating plays for other guys is truly impressive and I gotta give him his props for that.
Keyword regular season he got clamped in 2011 Finals lol

So much drama my gosh for just one time he missed some shots😂

he is legoat
Le-too old. Thank you for so many amazing years i cheered for you throughout cleveland. On the other hand, the witchcarft rituals made me back off.
Stfu omg your voice way to loud and annoying
He made the right played if you look 👀 at the game last night they was double team LeBron James every time he drive or post up inside of the 3️⃣ point line last night smart played because soon 🔜 he drive with the 🏀 they surrendered or whatever you won’t to called it be my guest surrounded him & LeBron James got eyes 👀 in the back of his head like teammate Luka when he started to drive he dishes it out like DoorDash at your door 🚪 👌🏾 then soon 🔜 he passed it to Rui ik it was green bean immediately when the defender try run 🏃🏾♂️ out there it was over. LeBron James could’ve got that 2️⃣ points easy or a foul probably right play at the right time
It will never be broken
4/17! He should have passed earlier! 🤣
LeBron been passing out last shots since he was in miami lol
He will gain some fans back for doing what he did. 😅 I've never been a LeBron fan but I really respect what he did , to be able to win a game. Probably,his greatest assist ever..That's awesome
4-17 is not selflessness lol he coudlnt buy a bucket and is always afraid to shoot the last shot
The longest steak of REGULAR SEASON double digit games! This streak is a pathetic milestone…
Wrong. He knew he wasn't going to make that shot, that's why he passed the ball. Let's be for real. How many chances has he had to make the game winner or to tie it up but yet "chose" to pass it
Bro i was born on january 7th 2007 😭
He’s always made the right play when it came down to it but had this been 10 or even 5 years ago he’d be getting obliterated by the media for not forcing the last shot
Hes 41, he made the right play. Father time is undefeated. He has done everything in the sport. No need to even consider streaks anymore.
💛💜 real laker legend now!!! Selfless!
