Wemby needs a go-to move. Post-hook, face-up elbow jumper, post-fade or something. He gotta get in the lab on that this offseason. Spurs should also be using him in the short roll game more to get him closer floaters. He can dribble, sure, but you should don’t him over working.
Drake walked “Make Them Remember” all the way down. And that beat by Boi-1da is disgusting 🔥 Anything with Boi-1da, Conductor or 40 is bound to be wild.
LeBron has a 32-31 playoff record in his 63 playoff games with the Lakers. 1 title. 2 Conference Finals.
Jordan had a 33-30 playoff record in his 1st 63 playoff games with the Bulls. 0 titles. 2 Conference Finals.
The difference is, LeBron was in his 17th season before playing a playoff game with LA, while Jordan was at the height of his individual powers.
If you're criticizing LeBron for his time in LA, you're just telling on yourself.
Not gonna get into specifics here because it’s just too much for a tweet, but fun fact:
The Lakers are +1225 with LeBron on the court and -664 with him off in his Laker tenure.
If there’s a failure, it sure as hell isn’t his.
LeBron in Game 1… 27, 6, & 4
LeBron in Game 2… 23, 6, & 2
LeBron in Game 3… 19, 8, & 6
LeBron in Game 4… 24, 12, & 3
He is still elite at 41 years old.
He is by far the greatest of all-time.
Nick Wright on the debate if LeBron James tenure in LA was a success:
“LeBron the record is 8 years with the Lakers, 7 trips to the playoffs. 2 seasons where they made a conference finals and 1 championship. And you’re going to have folks today earnestly genuinely try to argue that LeBron Lakers tenure was a failure. To which I would simply say or ask and don’t even add I’m not even asking you to add any age related qualifiers to it. Has Giannis 13 year Bucks career been a failure? Because in those 13 years, Giannis has 1 trip to the finals, 1 championship, and 1 trip to another conference finals and that’s the exact same thing as Bron in his 8 with the Lakers.”

Magic retired at 36, Bird retired at 35,
Jordan at 38 (we call ceremonial years)
Kobe at 37 farewell tour and praised, Tim Duncan retired at 40 and his last couple years he was allowed to just be and play. No expectations. Dirk made all star game at 40 averaging 7 and 3 because he was appreciated and honored. Draymond says LeBron deserves that and people get in an uproar. It happens to all the greats. Why is it a problem with a LeBron?
Anyway
LeBron at 41 expected to compete to win it all. Ridiculed if he doesn’t. KD at 37 expected to compete to win it all. Ridiculed if he doesn’t. Steph at 38 team ridiculed for being in play in. I don’t know when we got here but we live in the era of discredit and hypocrisy; but how quickly we forget how we treated the greats of old. 🤷🏾♂️
