😂 The LeBron MAGA is crazy. Look at the score, look at the team. Look at the score!!
LeOLD but LeGOLD 🐐
LeBron gets 8 points he's washed then he scores 30+ he's "stat padding" like stats are a bad thing to have 😂😂
He can still do it
Not bad for the 3rd option lol 👑🐐
King 👑 James is the best player and he is still putting up thirty points in a game even when his teammates are injured he continues to play at a high level which is amazing
Lebron can still be amazing in spurts, when he turns-it up-on the offensive end! It's everything else that fades away. At 41 Lebron is more focused on stats and attention these days, by sacrificing the other members of his team when he takes 28 shots to make 36 points, has 3 assists , and plays way below league average (and I'm being kind here) defense. In truth, he's been a negative plus/minus for the past 2 years as he's aged, dragging down the defensive rating of the team in the process. In contrast, both Luka and Austin have improved their defense the past two years. Of course the physical degradation is understandable at 41, but he and his G league son are costing the team 56M of our cap this year, which will continue until the new team owners finally pull the plug on Team Lebron.
Dumd highlights of 36 points 👉 lmao
Regular season merchant
THE GOAT
Never seen no shi like this before. Lebron is a once in a lifetime athlete who would be top 5 in any sport. Jordan however was specifically crafted by God to play basketball
He looked good tonight. Most explosive I’ve seen him all year.
the goattttt man is 41
jordan could never
Damn I thought he was done after that 8pt game
now bro wants do this after his streak is over
The young players sat out, all the uncs played. 😂
The BEST BASKETBALL PLAYER EVER
yea lebron will finish this season averaging 24 5 and 7 per usual. if he doesn’t i’d be surprised because this team is gonna need him to go off to win games. but they legit need austin and ayton back or it might get bad for them and i don’t think lebron can carry the load at his age.
He averaging 20 5 7 yall tried to retire him after that 8 point game which they won btw 😂
This team sucks so bad. Literally NO effort on defense or closing out on three point shooters
He can play 2 or 3 seasons
almost 41 year-old LeBron is playing like a 21 year-old LeBron the way he gets to the rack in this game. Lol.
2:39 guess Luka is the first option then Austin then 3rd option is LeBron ….. unless LeBron does stuff like this if he really really wants to like if he literally wants to then yes I still have LeBron as my first option
It's ironic that people point to Michael Jordan's rings as a reason he is the 'greatest' when in reality on any other team it is likely MJ would have lost 8 ponts a game off his average. Great in isolation Michael Jordan benefited greatly form being on the right team at the right time for his play style. An amazing player no doubt… but I would argue his 6 rings is more evidence that he enjoyed playing on literaly one of the best NBA teams ever… LUCK… just pure good luck. Lebron on the other hand just hasn't had the same hand when it comes to the teams he has been on. At literally every turn he is dishing off to the players that are able to score and then he steps in and scores massively when he is needed… but itsnt enough when the team just isn't one of the greatest of all times.
Season high but Lakers lost by 15 😂, So doesn’t matter as he said for the end of the 10 point strike but a win !
He was the only one playing..my gad..no bench !!
As you can see Lenron tryna reduce the gap but luka got bad shooting that play
Those numbers, same as Dincic's mean nothing. Because they are not together with defense. Also Clippers own Lakers for the last 5 years. They are awful matchup for Lakers.
