This is NOT a troll. I’m NOT even joking at ALL. An amazing NBA Finals game between the Knicks & Spurs just ended…a game featuring the new face of the league….
The postgame coverage: “Will LeBron James return to the Lakers?”
Dr. J on LeBron James:
“He’s one of one. Kobe’s another imitation of Michael Jordan. There have been many imitations of Michael, and Kobe, and me, and other people. LeBron is one of one.” 🗣️
(via @TheSchmo312)
INSANE: LeBron James has the 2nd-most wins in NBA history without an All-NBA teammate (735).
I was told he’s had the MOST help though. 🤔
(via @hoopshype)
LeBron James in 8 seasons with the Lakers:
8x All-Star
7x All-NBA
2020 NBA champion
2020 Finals MVP
2023 NBA Cup champion
2023 NBA Cup MVP
2020 assist title
542 total games played
319-223 record (.589 win pct.)

Top five in Lakers history in:
APG (2nd)
3PM (2nd)
PPG (4th)
AST (5th)
playoff APG (3rd)
playoff 3PM (3rd)
playoff 3PG (3rd)
LeBron is an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
Without LeBron
Bosh - 0 playoff series wins in 9 years
Love - Advanced in the playoffs 1x in 14 years
AD - 1 playoff series win in 9 years
Kyrie - 1 playoff series win in 6 years without riding coattails of Bron/KD/Luka
That's 3 playoff advancements in 38 seasons.
Only Wade won without him. Even then, lost 3 straight series before LeBron came and 1-3 in series after James left. Never made it past the 2nd round without Shaq or LeBron.
Jordan didn’t slay giants; he waited for the Bird, Magic, and Isiah dynasties to get old and injured before he finally "ate." LeBron never had a power vacuum—he crashed into prime HOF dynasties (Spurs, GSW) and won anyway.
LeBron is a child prodigy who became a one-man army.
