Oh so it's not an objective basketball argument you are making, you're upset at his ego?

No, I’m upset that he’s not playing the right way… like I hate on anybody that doesn’t play the right way. He's way too talented to half ass it on defense. People say he’s washed but I don’t buy it. He’s playing too many minutes AND he doesn’t give an F. The ‘he doesn’t give an F’ is my beef with him. At the end of the day, I guarantee he’s going to say ‘check my stats’ (as that t-shirt he wore) when they ask him about his legacy or what happened with this Lakers team.


LeBron is old and he's not superhuman, he's still talented offensively and he'ss smart defensively but he's too old to do all the small things on both ends without wrecking himself (he'd only do that in the playoffs).

He would care but the long game is being healthy for the playoffs. He's not washed, just old. People call it coasting, but coasting LeBron is still the best player on the Lakers. This was all part of the failed logic of Westbrook, he was meant to be leading the team through the RS with LeBron playing a scoring role on the side. Westbrook just started to coast too by the look of it

The White Raven!!! Ive said this many times, the days when Ryan Kelly and Robert Sacre were manning the front court for the Lakers is arguably one of the best eras for any sports franchise ever. Im sure they're making a HBO miniseries as we speak.

ESPN and TNT should be working at this moment to have enough time to flex those games out. Its not just that this Lakers team is no good and getting worse, they're clearly not even attempting to make it look like they're trying anymore.

The champion is coming out of the East.

You gonna put money on playoff James Harden, or a team with no Center(Milwaukee), or that old as fart team in South Florida
