It was nearly the majority opinion on this board about a year ago.


Remember all the "Welcome to the West, LeBron" talk?


Ya. People acted like he was on a sharp decline too. Now here he is prob about to finish top 3 or 4 in mvp voting.

Preach Doris! Talking about LBJ taking no LM seriously, that it means something to him that people come to see him in various arenas. A point of competitive pride, too. :clap:

Zion is such a good kid

We have a lot of young players in the league that are really easy to root for

Is this a joke?

Pels are a .667 team of late with Zion, Ingram, Jrue, Ball, Favors, Hart all playing now and Lakers didn't even have AD.

It was Lebron + scrubs against that team away from home..

Lebron just crowned who he believes is next up as the faces of the league.

Zion
Ja
Luka
Trae
Tatum

Always love getting to watch the transitioning of eras live

Even if he doesn't improve one bit for the rest of his career he's still going to be one of the toughest matchups in the entire league thanks to his physical gifts. He's just overpowering.

Memphis might be the more competitive matchup it seems. Both teams have no one to slow LeBron even a little but Morant and Brooks have a better chance of going off than Ball/Holiday

It's his first 20 NBA games. Gentry doesn't really set plays for him to create. He currently is just playing with the flow and that's why sometime you see him didn't touch the ball for 4-5 consecutive possessions.

I think Lebron has made it pretty clear who he thinks is the tougher match up

Good for LBJ handling that "What did you say to Zion?" question deftly.

Can't stand how these intrusive questions have become the norm. It's private. You can tell because LBJ was covering his mouth with a towel when talking to Zion's ear.
