Don’t ever say he ain’t fold, bricked two free throws tht woulda put it away and then turns it over for the go ahead layup AND THEN TURNS DOWN THE SHOT (yall always cry about he never did this he’s done this before also) and no one’s expecting him to pass (or bail him out since

DeMarcus Cousins says he doesn’t like the way LeBron James was treated LA:

“And you know we in this era now that you can’t really, you know speak on his behalf or it’s considered glazing or we paid by Klutch all this goofy sh*t but for the most part, you know, I grow up in the era of watching Bron like create the blueprint for the next guys coming up. So, I think he’s a legend in this game hands down. I just, I don’t know we kind of getting to a point where you know when it comes to our legends in the game, I don’t think they going out gracefully the way they should. I mean, from Melo to how CP was handled. We kind of watching how the Lakers just kind of act like Bron ain’t LeBron, like, you know what I mean? So, Kevin Durant, like, you know? So, I want him to go whenever he’s going to be appreciated and where he’s going to get the flowers he deserves.”

DeMarcus Cousins on people discrediting the Bubble Championship:

“I had this discussion the other day, it’s just like, damn. You know what I’m saying? Like, when the average person goes to work, you know what I’m saying? You have a sick day, whatever bad day, whatever the case may be. Y’all went to work during the pandemic, too. Those days still counted for you. So, they had to play a championship in the middle of a pandemic and it doesn’t count for him. Like, so what’s the damn difference? You know what I mean? I mean, y’all got paid at your job. And I know it’s comparing oranges and apples, whatever the case may be, but the foundation of it is regardless this is something that happened that nobody had control over. So to discredit him for that, it just doesn’t make sense.”

[KenHeLive @KenHeLive]

It was never about a player having power..
They love Luka calling shots for a franchise he’s never won a playoff series for..
It was about that shot caller being the guy that kicked Kobe out of the goat debate.

I want to thank LeBron James and his super agent Rich Paul for taking a meeting with me back in 2018 when I was President of the Lakers and deciding to sign with us. He created a whole new era for the Lakers, including leading us to an NBA Championship in 2020 and all the milestones he surpassed in a Lakers jersey. I’ll always love and be grateful for him and wish him all the best in the next phase of his life, on and off the court!

[LeBron James @KingJames]

No, THANK YOU! Truly a honor to wear the 💜💛 while trying to continuing the greatness & legacies that came before me! Hope I made a few proud during my stint. 🙏🏾🫡👑

After eight seasons with the Lakers, including leading the franchise to the 2020 NBA championship, James departs and enters free agency set to join a new team.

Lakers president Rob Pelinka and Rich Paul spoke a short time ago about the four-time champion's plans, sources said. James chose to inform the Lakers well before start of free agency tonight out of courtesy and appreciation for their run together, and to allow LA to conduct its offseason business.

Iman Shumpert on the disrespect of playing next to LeBron James: defenses literally said "we going to live with Iman"

"That disrespect is the pressure it's all about dude coming in. Y'all coming in to play us we going to live with Iman"

"It's even more messed up if you could feel y'all saying we going to live with Iman, and they still playing through whatever defense y'all got"

"They not taking the bait. We know you want Iman to shoot 20 he's not shooting 20"

Since 1996–97, no player has made more clutch-time field goals in the postseason than LeBron James (151).

The closest? Kobe Bryant (104).
