    That's all it is. He's stat chasing and the media will NOT call it out

    I've read somewhere, that Bryce James is more talented than Bronny James. But Bryce is still only 15, so like 4-5 years away from the NBA. LeBron playing until he's 45 would make sense if he wants to play with BOTH of his sons.

    It's either titles or stats or tail.

    Not much else to chase.

    His stats will look better when he achieves everything in purple and gold, but I mean what do people want? For him to force his way out like he did to Miami? People didnt like that, and now people don't like him not competing in LA. He's not making the team worse, everything he does makes the team better. The only thing he can do at this point is force another trade.

    Lakers don't have to trade LeBron
    but
    They have to TRADE SOMEONE
    They have to make a move

    Y'all can talk **** but he's having a phenomenal season individually on offense, top 10 offensive player this year.

    29 ppg, 8 boards, 6.5 assists with a 55% EFG, 58 TS%, 2-1 A/TO ratio at 38 is absolutely outstanding. The efficiency and low turnovers for that level of scoring by a player who's had the entire scouting report focused on him for 20 years are NOT empty stats on a bad team. He's simply a very good player on a bad team.

    Yup, after a slow start he's back to borderline top 10 level this year.

    I enjoy watching LeBron have to bust his ass midseason in a hopeless effort to keep his team competitive after years of LeCoast. He can't even strong arm his way out of it because he's already strong armed the Lakers into making stupid moves that got them into this mess in the first place. He's hgonna hang around long enough to

    He's still a top 5 player in the league, but he doesn't have his normal hand picked all star support and role players to let him cruise, so winning is just a tad harder. I dislike LeHypocrite on a personal level at this point, so if he never plays another meaningful playoff game I''ll be pretty happy.

    All these players are clearly better than Lebron at this point

    Jokic, Embiid, Luka, Giannis, KD, Tatum. Top 5 players don't exist on active players whose teams are below .500 especially at the midpoint of a season. He isn't in that top 5 anymore

    Christ, this is a jinx thread isn't it? Of course, now the Lakers are just 2 games behind the 5th seed. At 38, LeBron still one of the best in the league.

    Lebron James the roids aside is what all professional athletes look to aspire to be. He takes care of his body immaculately and is professional.

    The hatred LeBron gets is ridiculous
    I'm waiting on people to tell me he ain't the GOAT cause he played with more Left Handed Players than MJ and Kobe
    and MJ and KObe would have won more if they had more left handed players.

    LeBron is not a better SCORER than either of them
    but he is IMO a better basketball player.

    I dare say we have never seen a more professional athlete who takes his craft seriously.
