Re: Tuesday 1/24 NBA Game Thread
LeBron is 1 three attempt from matching his career high, 9 shot attempts from his career high.

Let me make it clear. He’s the best player there by a mile. He’s not doing something “bad”. It’s just funny how much 40 meant to him today. I guess when your resume is that big, all you have left are small things.
I'm cool with it.
You're effectively saying that LeBron could score 40+ on every team and every night if he wanted to enough.

Ummm what exactly do you want him to do? Lakers are losing and LeBron's by far their best option on offense.
He’s taken 12 threes. He’s likely going to attempt a career high. The point was, obviously that small legacy thing meant a lot to him. He’s not simply playing within the game like usual.
He should simply choose to go 9-13 from three for stat padding reasons more often

Re: Tuesday 1/24 NBA Game Thread
Lebron is 38 years old and he's the best player in this game featuring a Kawhi who's well rested and PG.
Dude is a **** animal man it's ridiculous.

It's because he's hitting them. Stop trying to push the statpad/trying hard for 40

I swear, they score over Thomas Bryant's contest every single time. Every team does. Does he have really short arms or is it his inability to jump on D? I think it's both. Just a mind numbingly bad defender.

Yes. I also made a thread a few days ago about how his season at this age is a first of its kind. Obviously if he wants to score, he can.

Do you know what statpadding is?
See yourself out.

Re: Tuesday 1/24 NBA Game Thread
Gonna be typical if the Clippers let one player single-handedly come back 20 on them.

He's literally the only one that can score right now.
It's a LeBron criticism as old as time.
Shoots a lot = stad padding
Shoots normal amount or less = not taking over and letting his team lose

How the hell 38 years old Lebron score over 50pts against Kawhi and P.George? Insanity.

I think LeBron should get permission from you first. It s not a good look for him to score that many points without consulting with you first on whether this could be considered stat patting

He's made more tonight then ever before (previous high was 8). Thus, he keeps shooting them. This isn't hard.

Because those two are front runners of the highest order.

If LeBron was truly playing for the team instead of himself he'd demand the scorekeepers five some of his points to Beverely.

The criticism is even dumber though when it happens on such high efficacy.
