Nuggets might be the greatest team of alltime.. Ive never seen a team take on the 2nd best player of all time and the NBA at the same time and make it look EASY

Apparently the shot of Lebron walking down the tunnel is more important than the actual end of the game.

Lakers fans in the arena are fairweather fans. Easy to be loud when you're winning.

I think the Mavs give it another shot with him and Luka this year. I doubt it happens.

The Lakers needed buckets when they were going down quick in the 4th and they decide to make Rui Hachimura the go to guy? Ham is an idiot. It should have been Lebron or AD in the post or elbow respectively.

Sad things is Denver hasn't even played to their potential this series. They;re capable of a way higher level than this. THis is a dynasty. These are the new Spurs

LeBron is running for GOAT, he’ll avoid a 4-0 sweep to save his legacy. Lakers by 55 pts in Game 4, book it!

We weren't winning crap without Lebron being the guy either way. AD isn't good enough to be the lead on a team.

He cant do it anymore. Also our coach sucks.

I like this team though heading into next season minus DLO and Ham hopefully.

people talking about Lebron's legacy this and that. Dude is damn near 40 he ain't got **** to prove anymore.
