This shooting is a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon. Just astounding.

LeBron's own 3pt shooting has been an abomination so far this season.

Lebron looks like he's trying to have a quicker release on his three this year with more versatile footwork, but so far it's just ended up looking rushed and they haven't gone in.

This team has a good chance of being the worst 3pt shooting team ever.
Reggie Jackson is amazing and a killer in the clutch that's all.

Kobe tried to do the same **** and decided to retired
Halfway thru that season lol
LeBron's NBA Cup MVP is more valuable than either of KD's Finals MVPs. This is the word of the Lord

Team looks much better without Westbrook and that’s with LeBron playing like crap.

Good lord this is a brutal stretch by LeBron. He's so much worse when he's playing with a pass first mindset. Always has been.

AD's hurt and his limited mobility really shows defensively in this qtr. Nuggets owning the paint.

Those with an obvious agenda will try to use this game as proof of see-WB-isn't-really-the-problem-Lakers-just-suck!!!

Lakers do suck, but they're also way better off without WB.

This dude does not care this season. He doesn't. Year 20 bla bla. He doesn't care. It's clear as day. You dont do what Lebron did at the start of the 3Q. He literally sabotaged this team and we never recovered. I see him calling for the ball only to take a quick shot and brick it. We're down by 20 he gets an and 1 and flexes as if we're dominating.

He doesn't care. I dont want him on the team if thats how it is. Go chase Kareem somewhere else. I hope they explore trades for him.

If this is the state of his jumper then the Lakers never had a chance this season.

I foolishly hoped he'd be sharper than this to start the season.

Lakers are an absolute dumpster fire of a franchise at this point. At 38 LeBron is expected to be the best scorer, playmaker, and shooter?

I wish he could be traded because the Lakers won’t be good for a very long time unless they revamp the front office starting from the top.

The Lakers FO make the Cavs FO look like absolute geniuses. I hate to see LeBron end his career like this when he still has more in the tank. This team is the exact OPPOSITE of a team you build around him tho…yet Pelinka got extended lol

His jumper has been absolute trash but I’m sure he’ll figure it out. It makes no difference though if nobody on the team can hit wide open 3’s. The paint is more packed than it’s ever been and LeBron is older…not a good combo.
