LMAO the best part is clicking these tweets and going to the quotes and replies watching him get smacked into the dirt constantly while he flails angrily.

Yarp. The COVID chip is meaningless to all but the stanniest of stans, and the 2 in Miami have massive asterisks thanks to blatant collusion and salary cap manipulation required to put the team together. Only one chip that folks respect. Such a pity.

Tough but fair.

Lol he quit cuz of gambling and the nba covered it up. Was a mutually agreed upon suspension. MJ in the social media era would have been interesting

Enough of this LeBron talk.

Let's get back to talking how my team has no chance to win another championship. How their finished and about how this year is finally not their year.

I'd like to see some stats posted about how Curry really isn't that good and how he just gets lucky.

But I was assured that the Lakers roster was trash and that LeBron was wholly justified in sitting out the rest of the season as they had no chance of winning anything with or without him.

I was given this assurance by someone that is surely a savvy basketball fan and not just some mindless LeBron honk who will say whatever is necessary to defend any decision his hero makes...

Well...unless I need to count it to ensure we stay tied with the Celtics in titles.

And I do.

So....

You've gotta hand it to LeBron. Sometimes even I underestimate him. He turned the roster around by moving out Westbrook and bringing in some actual NBA role players around him and now the Lakers look to be in with a shot.

Lol nice try. Lebron packed up and was ready to sit out the rest of the season because he's bitchmade. Only when he was out the door did Pelinka drop his balls on the table and fix the mess.

LeBron travelled to Germany to get a second opinion on his injured foot that required surgery. He's sacrificed everything in returning to give his team a chance this year. The ultimate team player.

Sassy Squatch 04-01-2023 05:45 PM

Lol no. Healthy enough to stat whore for longevity records because that's literally all he has left to even try to compete with MJs legacy (LOLOLOLOLOLOOLO). As soon as he accomplished it he shut it down. Because he's completely bitchmade.

Sassy Squatch 04-01-2023 05:49 PM

Out of his own mouth LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Now we sitting at a chance to be able to — to hell with the Play-In — we actually can be a top-eight seed,” James said. “That definitely changed my mindset on me coming back and trying to be a part of this, obviously...

The guy has fought and is fighting through an injury so bad that two different doctors recommended that he shut it down and opt for surgery. Few players would jeopardize their career like that to help their team, but he knows the Lakers have a chance after the moves he made.
