LeBron's third act was just as good as some of the best players in the NBA during their primes 😱
Being from Los Angeles gotta thank Bron for coming to the Lakers winning a chip and breaking the all time scoring record team sold for 10billion.
The Lakers were Cooked before he got there it was some nasty years.
The Lakers never deserved LeBron James. Some of us remember the summer of 2018. When LeBron James, the best player in the world, chose to sign with a franchise that was the laughing stock of the league. They hadn’t sniffed the playoffs in five years. And they welcomed the best player in the world by surrounding him with the infant versions of Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma and Brandon Ingram as his teammates. He helped bring in Anthony Davis. The same Anthony Davis that helped bring in Luka Doncic. They won the Cup. They won a championship. Their first title in a decade. Over the course of the next eight seasons, we watched as Lakers fans blamed LeBron for everything when their season fell short even though he was playing at an All-NBA level. His loyalty was questioned, even though he fulfilled every contract to the end. We saw the front office sit on their hands with draft capital. We saw the front office prioritize future cap space instead of rolling the dice every year. We saw them waste prime years with AD. Now, we see Lakers fan celebrating as he walks out the door after bringing the franchise back to relevancy. He was never appreciated as much as he should have been.
Gilbert Arenas says calling LeBron James and the Lakers 2020 championship, the Mickey Mouse championship is the weirdest thing:
“Because every star started in the bubble. Devin Booker was phenomenal in the bubble. Giannis showed who he was becoming in the bubble. Jokic got defeated in the bubble and he’s been the MVP or the runner MVP for six straight years since that bubble. Luka’s terror against the Clippers started in that bubble. Murray and Mitchell bubble. Jimmy Butler, right? This is where that all that was created. So to say the bubble was this Mickey Mouse chip. It just shows you how great I look at it like this. The harder they hate, the greater you are.”

Just to be clear (it is, but some folks aint getting it): this is a shot at folks who have spent Lebron's whole career protecting their childhood adoration of MJ. He can be your GOAT. Maybe he still is the GOAT (I'm a Lebron guy), but spending 20 adult years bitching about Lebron when you could have just enjoyed him is on you, not Lebron or his fans. And if Wemby ends up being the best, all you will do from your nursing home diapers is declare him much better than Lebron and insist he still is no MJ.
The ending in the 16-bit Lion King is quite the process to achieve. Scar has at least 200 hit points, which is reduced by one with each of Simba's mighty slaps.
This is on top of chasing him over Pride Rock with random fire everywhere. Can you feel the love tonight? #RetroGaming
@TheFlank@ZooMaa Just so we’re on the same page:
When I said this in 2022 90% of people disagreed fully. But in 2026 when it applies to Optic everyone is suddenly in full agreeance?

“Howard was washed & old” yet in the bubble he protected the rim, defended, caught lobs, rebounded same things you guys praised Rodman for.
Also took a lot of the Jokic matchup so AD could conserve energy & dominate.
But that only matters for MJs teammates not Brons 🤔
I don't think Bloo being an asshole is what makes this show so hard to come back to. It's that him being an asshole is a complete 180 of his character in the pilot movie
What REALLY aged the show was Cheese
