JR Smith throwing a no-look lob in transition to LeBron in Game 6 of The Finals will be one of my favorite basketball plays as long as I am on this planet.
LeBron’s Year 23 deserves its flowers, man.
20.9 PPG
7.2 APG
6.1 RPG
Led the Lakers to a massive upset against the Rockets in the first round.
Averaged 23.2 PPG, 6.7 RPG, and 7.3 APG in the playoffs.
He truly can play until he’s 50.
Show him his respect.
We made our mark King, your career is above and beyond every expectation they set on you since you were a teen. And I’m so glad I was able to witness it all 🌟
David Fizdale on LeBron’s work ethic during his Miami Heat days:
“I’d get to the office at 6 am. A guy rides in on a 10 speed with black tights and helmet with glasses. I’m like ‘who is this guy in our garage?’ He takes off the helmet, it’s Bron. He rolled into work on a bike and got his conditioning in. He rode miles into work, full sweat at 6 am. I’d meet him on the court and do a full other hour. Then we practice. Then he lifts. Then does all this stuff to prepare his body. By the time he leaves, his kids are getting out of school.”

I didn’t even realize this:
Tonight, in an NBA playoff closeout game, Year 23 LeBron James outscored the entire Rockets team by himself 14-13 in the 2nd quarter… 🤯
41 YEARS OLD.
Only took 6 shots so don’t even care about the points. Show me the effort & the rebounding, the challenge of stopping Sengun 1 on 1 multiple possessions. Ayton deserves his flowers tonight 👏👏👏 Way to show up!
