(LOCK THREAD) The LeBron James - 22-23 NBA Season Thread -NBA's All-Time Scoring Leader!

Is something up with LeBron? He looks half asleep out there.

[toodles23]

Lebron just looks old out there. Certainly not helping that his jumper is still MIA but for the most part he's looked diminished athletically even compared to last year, and tonight is probably the worst he's looked this season. The Lakers announcers are speculating he's sick, no idea if that's the case or not.

[Fadeaway_J]

Just an average offensive game from LeBron or AD and the Lakers win this easily.

[jalengreen]

Dreadful offensive finish for LeBron

Lucky that the Lakers were getting all the offensive rebounds off of his misses to keep them in it

[yoyoboy]

LeBron's shot selection is just awful.

[Tracymcgoaty]

Is this dude even top 20 anymore? He's killed us in more games than he's helped. Absolute garbage on defense this game barely trying. Lost the game because of his stupid **** Iso's down the stretch.


EDIT!!! RYAAAAAN

Lebron better step the **** up.

[Fadeaway_J]

LOL

[jalengreen]

Bro this game lmfaooo

Like I said before the season when I was getting killed for it, he's a lower-level All Star at this point, at least in the regular season. And he's old, so that's not a criticism. It's just reality.

[Fadeaway_J]

Man this would have been an annoying loss

[Tracymcgoaty]

Im gonna give Lebron the benefit of doubt because of his foot injury and apparently sickness? But thats the worst game i've seen from him.

Westbrook should have played instead of him in OT.

[toodles23]

Lebron looked absolutely exhausted at the end there. Lakers are extremely lucky to have won that game.

[jalengreen]

LeBron sucked at the end and was uncharacteristically playing dumb but he was fine before then imo.

Anyway his jumper is clearly a real concern. Hoping it's just a slump but it might be a 2015 esque season

Just frustrating how you knew every possession down the stretch he was gonna take a bad jumper.

He's got a foot injury and was apparently sick leading up to this game. Which explains a lot. He looked great against Denver though. I still believe Lebron has another gear. But he shouldn't have been playing if he's sick. He damn near lost us the game.

[dcstanley]

Lebron isos as the defacto late game offense should be abandoned. There aren't many players he could beat off the dribble anymore so he just spams jumpers possession after possession. Just get the ball to him or AD in the post and go from there.

Tonight's game is a throw away, he barely could dribble. But his half court game is not great anymore

Or put Lebron in the post, Lebron at the top of the key with the ball is not a threat

Don't you find it concerning that a "great" LeBron game now is 26 points on below 54% TS with so-so defense though?

[NbaAllDay]

Poor game from Lebron.

I get the jump to write him off completely and I'd be interested in his stats of past years in the first 15 games or so, because he has almost ALWAYS looked a lot slower in Nov compared to Feb onwards.

People have been calling him washed since 2016 after 10 games.

He has indeed regressed but the overreactions have been like clockwork every year. Maybe I'll be wrong this year.

If you created a role playing pg from scratch to fit prime LeBron it would be Patrick Beverley.
