It's the truth. He just had the best game and series for any player of his age ever and it isn't even close. He just showed he's got a ton left in the tank.

come on back for another lechoke!

maybe he can get swept in the finals next year to cement his legacy as a top 10-12 player

So change the schedule after Miami wins tomorrow and start next weekend. What's the problem with having a longer offseason?

The NBA is gonna fall out of the public consciousness for like 10 days by starting on June 1.

It is a TV thing. NHL and MLB have set dates as well for their finals

1. Jordan
2. Wilt
3. Bird
4. Kobe
5. Curry

Well I'd rather win than have the stats, but there's not a hell of a lot LeBron can do about that if he's gonna average a 30 point triple double on the series and his teammates don't show up at all.

The Lakers absolutely maximized their talent level this year in even reaching the WCFs. Austin Reaves was their 3rd best player. LMAO

Regardless of the outcome of the game, the Lakers were never winning this series. Any such win tonight would have just been delaying the inevitable.

Because of the way this went, LeBron still got to show he's GOAT (nobody has ever or will ever again have a game like tonight at his age) and at the same time I also get to blame his useless teammates who somehow didn't step up in a game where LeBron had a 40 point triple double on 60% shooting.

This is where you lose the thread..A 38 year old Kareem put up 36-7-7 with 3 blocks against the 85 Celtics in G5 of the Finals in a series that was tied 2-2.

I know and I'm challenging the idea that it makes sense to not have any NBA games for 10 days.

I'm taking 40-10-9 on 15/25 shooting while guarding one of the best bigs in history on the defensive end myself.

Shit I didn't think LA was making it past the first round. Really wasn't sure they'd get through the play-in games.

And Jordan's Space Jam was entertaining.

LeBron's Space Jam was terrible.

He wasn't the only guy checking Jokic, and prime Parish and McHale weren't exactly Greg Ostertag.

I still haven't seen LeBron's Space Jam, but I doubt MJ could match LeBron's acting ability.
