I don't care if LeBron may have the best PED's money can guy. To do what he's doing at his age in a sport based around agility is impressive as hell. Still hate the MFer, but it's impressive nonetheless
Lebron is one of a kind, but still won't ever surpass MJ due to leaving Cleveland even despite having the best Finals win between the two. Incredible player. We were lucky to get to watch him.
It's fun to watch the Lakers, the Warriors, and the Jazz, my three most hated teams, fighting for the last play-in spot.
LeBron stopped taking whatever he was taking during the IST, or it wore off. How is that Ham's fault?
Instead of retiring, he should stop putting so much pressure on himself and admit to himself that a fifth ring isn't going to happen. Lebron should just enjoy the last few years and stop his obsessive pursuit of the ghost from Chicago. And the media should stop playing this game, stop being blinded by his stats and finally be honest about the fact that he is no longer playing winning basketball. For every point he scores up front, the Lakers concede two in the back. And when he's not involved in the offense, he just stands around uselessly, which leads to 4-on-5 and thus inevitably to difficult shots for his teammates. If he would finally relax, he would no longer have to run off the court prematurely and insulted after defeats like a spoiled highschool player and could shake hands with his opponents like a fair sportsman.
Preach. But I wouldn't count out the Lakers. Remember, last season, they got Russell, Vanderbilt, Beasley, and Hachimura for Westbrook and Nunn. Like it or not, LeBron is the biggest draw in the NBA. The Lakers ain't missing the playoffs and they will win at least a round.
Apparently Darvin Ham isn't the 4d chessmaster Lakers nation was hoping for... he also said 'no' to Lebron once.
Check his advanced stats since the IST. People ain't talking about his +/- anymore for a reason. He had the worse +/- on the team since the IST as of a few days ago. He'll always have the counting stats because he's a stat padder.
Ah yes way to discredit everything Lebron does with a nonsensical argument. Do you even know what stat padding means? So everything good Lebron does doesn't matter because he is a stat padder but every bad stat Lebron has is true? BTW I just checked Lebron has the 3rd highest plus minus so what do you say about that? I guess now that it's a good stat it doesn't matter cuz Lebron is a stat padder ain't it? https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/lakers-players-plus-minus-this-season
Most 39 year olds do not dare to stat pad, the most they do is like Vince Carter or Jeff Green to score in double digits.
LeBron's a stat padder. Kudos to him for having the ability to at his advanced age. Check his +/- since the IST. That he's third now after being so far ahead in the first part of the season says a lot.
aging well in all ways. it is ridiculous. Another quote from raptors coach: “They had to win tonight? If that’s the case just let us know so we don’t show up for the game. Just give them a win. But that was not fair tonight.”
I love it when coaches put the league in notice. It won't go well for this coach, but love that he said what needed to be said.
