Yet, they still ruled it an unsuccessful challenge

As if Ham was challenging the validity of the foul, as opposed to the continuation call


Which doesn’t mean much this game but in the future losing a timeout could be huge

That's crazy that the Lakers set a franchise record for fewest turnovers in a game. They've been around since 1947.

Crazy how bron is playing against guys that were born when he got drafted.

So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

It kind of seems like he's not doing much and everyone else just happens to be playing much better whenever he's on the court.


I'd really like to know what you're basing this off of. And I hope it's not his box score numbers.

While impressive, it's a bit misleading. Anthony Davis has been out during that entire stretch. Things would be a lot different if that weren't the case.

There's nothing misleading about it, the fact he can still do this at 38 after 20 seasons is just mind blowing.

I want to point out that LeBron is just a one year younger than Homer SImpson in a SImpsons lore haha.

Imagine having a conversation with your dad about the fact that you both got worked by the same dude on an NBA court.

Lol you're being a typical bronsexual. It's guys like you that don't understand that Curry's performance in last year's finals was misleading too. Things would have been different, had KD still been there. Unfortunately, Curry was forced to step up and make big shots against his will. It will become clear once his autobiography is published.

I think you're taking things too far with the Bronsexual dig. What LeBron's doing right now at his age is definitely insane and not like anything we've ever seen before. My only point is that Davis being out is a key reason as to why his numbers have been so great recently. I guess it needs to be pointed out that no one else in the history of the NBA would have been able to do this at this point in their careers even when they're the lone star on their team... but still.

Also your part about Curry makes no sense.

Sengun is very clearly the best player from the 2021 draft and he'll end up being the best in the end. Barnes and Mobley have been disappointments this season. They haven't been bad, but they've stagnated. Sengun has taken a huge leap and he has more to go. The Rockets now have to make the decision the Nuggets made in 2016: run the offense through him.
