Lebron in 2021 : “whoever came up with the play in needs to be fired”.
Lebron in 2021: play in team
Lebron in 2022: 11th seed
Lebron in 2023: play in team
Lebron in 2024: play in team
Kobe had 10 different moves, with 10 different counters and 10 different counters to each counter.
LeBron has the Derrick Henry stiff arm and nothing else.
In 2001 Kobe and Shaq faced the 9th best record in the league, the 4th best record in the league, the best record in the league, and the 2nd best record in the league during the playoffs and went 15-1
I miss when players wanted to compete in the All Star Game. I guess it stopped when Kobe retired. Players too scared to get embarrassed after Kobe embarrassed LeBron.
Let’s say you get to fight alongside
Batman on Monday
Superman on Tuesday
WW on Wednesday
Aquaman on Thursday
The Flash on Friday
Then you can say
I won 4 fights without Batman
I won 4 fights without Superman
I won 4 fights without WW
I won 4 fights without the Flash
LeBron made 9 finals without AD
LeBron made 7 finals without Kyrie
LeBron made 6 finals without Love
LeBron made 6 finals without Bosh
LeBron made 6 finals without Wade
MJ NEVER made it out of the 1st round without Pippen
How can MJ be the greatest if he depended on Pippen so…
LeBron really left a top 3 coach of all time because his boys couldn’t ride on team planes or LeBron couldn’t get one of his boys on the Heat payroll despite being worth hundreds of millions.
LeBron wanted free run of the franchise and Riley runs a tight ship.
Most NBA players feel this way.
Some refuse to say it because of basketball politics but most players privately have Kobe ahead of anyone not named Michael.
“Kobe is the guy for me. The skill set, the mentality, the athleticism, the will…surgical. He’s the guy”
- Fred VanVleet on who he considers the best player ever.

Bron thought he was coming to the West to play Victor Oladipo and 12 year old Jayson Tatum.
Instead, LeBron's ride in the West
2019 - missed playoffs
2020 - championship (bubble)
2021 - first round exit
2022 - missed playoffs
2023 - swept in first round
2024 - first round exit
What’s happened to Chris Bosh
What’s happened to Dwyane Wade
What’s happened to Kevin Love
What’s happened to Kyrie Irving
What’s happened to Anthony Davis
What’s happened to Russell Westbrook
"I came on the air and talked about how Anthony Davis was a top-seven player. I take it back. Damn it, he don't look like it. ... What has happened to Anthony Davis?"
😳
@stephenasmith
He got you suspended and cost you an NBA title. Now you giving 4% of your salary and 20% of endorsement money to him. Yuk. Couldn’t be me.
But it gets worse. You sit by as they trash Steph time and time again. Your real brother. How many times Dray. Stand up and say something.
Imagine overvaluing your opinion so much, that you get this caught up in two men lives. Starts using the word “Enemy” to describe two black heroes, and then proceed to falsely accuse another black man of playing both sides. Both sides of what to be exact? A pointless debate?
2 whole decades in this fucking league and you cant execute a one or two dribble pull up
Because of your threat to drive you would get wide open mid range shots any time you wanted.Then after you hit them they’d play you closer and your drives would open up
Basketball IQ my ass
Somehow every single team Jordan faced was filled with plumbers and firemen yet somehow the team mates Jordan had were the greatest of all time.
Somehow every single team LeBron faced are the greatest teams of all time yet somehow LeBron's team mates are all plumbers and firemen
Remember when Michael Jordan kept losing to the Celtics and Pistons so he called up Hakeem Olajuwon and Charles Barkley and they all teamed up and then in the press conference he said "not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7"
And then he was terrified of posting up JJ Barea?
Yeh me neither
FUN FACT
Steph Curry has played a total of 35985 mins in the NBA so far(reg. season+ playoffs, excluding last night)
LeBron James passed the 36000 mins in the NBA mark in...2013
LeBron James:
Ended the Pistons.
Ended the Celtics.
Ended Big 3 in OKC.
Ended the pre-KD Warriors.
Ended the post-KD Warriors.
That’s 5 iterations of championship level teams over a SIXTEEN YEAR stretch just wrecked by one man.
Warriors privately fuming at some of the shots Klay took. They’ve spoken to him. However it’s the 4th time this year they’ve spoken to him about shot selection. He doesn’t listen.
I think Klay is going to be really surprised when contract talks come up this off-season.
Steph Curry winning a title against the same defence that KD couldn’t dribble against after KD left Steph for Kyrie is gold.
But Steph Curry winning a title with the same Andrew Wiggins that LeBron traded away because he wanted superstars in their prime is chef’s kiss.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Steph and KD = cancel each other out
Harden and KD = cancel each other out
Bron and AD = Bron is the MVP (despite AD being a force on both ends)
Media and narratives are a fucking Joke
KD was my preseason MVP pick.
Obviously the Harden trade changes the math on the MVP equation, and there’s a lot of season to be played, but boy does he look phenomenal.
It’s not often we can compare eras with similar players.
What’s more similar than comparing the exact same player. Perfect.
Either LeBron is better at 38 than in his prime or…. The league is a joke now and no fucking defence is being played.
NBA has a huge problem.
My fav LeBron stat is that he's lost 3 straight finals games 6 times.
Do you know how hard it is to lose 3 straight finals games let alone to do it 6 separate times.
Bronsexuals. I forgive you.
I can’t expect you to stop making excuses for your king when he himself is making excuses for not beating Dirk with prime LeBron prime Wade and prime Bosh.
Went from “not 5 not 6 not 7” to “we didn’t have enough” 😂
Are you not embarrassed?
I’m not sure how much of this is common knowledge but LeBron and Dave have pre interview chats where LeBron tells Dave what questions to ask so that LeBron can drive a few key points to further push whatever the narrative of the week is.
LeBron James says fatigue is hitting the Lakers from all angles. The team has spent 18 of the last 27 days on the road and will close out 2023 by spending six of the next 11 days away from home, too.
Most Finals game wins in the last 13 years:
1. LeBron James — 22
2. Draymond Green — 21
3. Klay Thompson — 21
4. Stephen Curry — 21
5. Andre Iguodala — 19
6. Shaun Livingston — 17
....
15. Kevon Looney — 10
16. Kevin Durant — 10
Never forget that Kobe wanted to leave Shaq coz he wanted to prove he could win without him
Bron wanted to join Wade and Bosh coz he knew he couldn’t win without them
Kobe didn’t want a superteam. Just a team that was competitive and he’d do the rest
Shows love to Pau at end
In the last 15 years LeBron has had Dwyane Wade, Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis who have all been capable of dropping 30 (if not 40) in playoff games.
Most help of any superstar thats ever lived.
The amount of effort it takes on offense to be the scoring champ is crazy.
The amount of effort it takes on defense to be the DPOY is crazy.
The amount of heart it takes to do both, night in night out, Michael is one of one.
Working on everything except his mid and low post game, his fadeaway game, his pump fake pivot game.
20 years in the league and he has the fundamentals of a vegetable.
Bruh work on your fundamentals!!!
Your patented spin move is a travel 🧳
What does AI even know he didn’t play against prime LeBron. I can’t take his opinion seriously.
I’m going to listen to account LeBronGOAT73882 instead they know ball
Allen Iverson says LeBron James is ‘definitely’ after Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant
"I say Mike, and I say Kobe, and then everyone else."

Hating on Kobe to protect LeBron
Hating on Steph to protect LeBron
Hating on Spo to protect LeBron
Loving Pippen to bash Mike to protect Lebron
Loving Isaiah to bash Mike to protect LeBron
It all comes down to that insecure little BronBron
"I'm not trying to diminish [Erik Spoelstra]... I'm willing to say he's a top 3/top 4 coach in the NBA as we currently talk, but I ain't giving him no credit for what happened on [Heat's Game 2 win vs. Nuggets]."

Its actually $100 more because Sony wants you to buy a digital edition so the only way u get games is on their network. U won't be able to buy games on sale at the shops or sell your games after u finished or trade etc. They want a monopoly on where u can buy.
Look how disgusted Kobe looks after Bron b****** out because of his insecurities of taking the last shot, IN AN ALL STAR GAME. TWICE.
Brah nobody is going to kill you for missing the shot, if they do who cares?
This one clip summarizes the difference in mentalities.
Never forget that Kobe wanted to leave Shaq because he wanted to prove he could win without him.
Bron wanted to join Wade and Bosh because he knew he couldn’t win without them.
Whole different mentality.
You’re telling me Jordan left the Bulls to create a superteam with Charles Barkley and Hakeem Olajuwon and still couldn’t post up JJ Barea?
Oh sorry wrong era.
Never forget when LeBron pouted because his teammate made a mistake that sent the game to OVERTIME btw, instead of trying to motivate his squad. Michael Jordan would never.
LeBron was so passive when the game was there to be won.
This is what kills me when Bronsexuals say “he makes the right play”.
Playoffs are higher level. Role players can’t be relied upon. Bron didn’t drive enough. Just kept kicking it out to others to decide the game.
@LAKESHOWSINCE00
A finals appearance in 5 tries is great. Unless you’re comparing it to 8 straight and saying “they said he couldn’t do it in the West”. He clearly can’t dominate the west. The numbers are there.
Yo
@OfficialNBARefs
I understand you miss calls in real time. But after reviewing every game can’t you understand that LeBron doesn’t have the fundamentals to play in the post.
This is the footwork of a fucking vegetable. How can you continue to reward this disgraceful plays.
The number one pick, aka the chosen one, decided to team up with the number 4 and 5 picks of his draft, all in their prime, all from the same conference weakening the East....
And then lost to JJ fucking Barea?
"There's an argument to be made that LeBron's peak was higher than Jordan's. There's an argument to be made that Jordan's peak was higher. I'll put LeBron's 27-game winning streak yr up against anything MJ ever did. The peaks are similar, the longevity is not." —
@getnickwright
Apart from the bubble, LeBron’s lakers have been outside the top 20 in offensive rating his entire Lakers tenure.
The “LeBron system” is all about stats, for LeBron. Everyone else is there to ensure lebron gets his 27/7/7.
Lakers are below .500 after 36 games for the 3rd season in a row.
- '21-'22: 17-19 (Blamed Westbrook, Vogel & AD)
- '22-'23: 15-21 (Fired Vogel. Blamed Westbrook & AD again)
- '23-'24: 17-19
Now it's Ham's fault? You mean to tell me LeBron can't win w/ healthy AD playing like…
Jimmy Butler is a less athletic Mike who has a worse jumper and is absolutely destroying the playoffs.
It ain’t a stretch to say Mike would average 50 a night.
Theres a reason LeBron leaves every 4 yrs
When u trade away every single pick and young prospect for win now team u can usually get a ring. But after that the team is full of overpaid players and no draft picks to improve
So he hops to new franchise with fresh cap space & picks
Sooo Lebron has some thoughts: "We're not a team constructed of great shooting. It's not like we're sitting here with a lot of lasers on our team...like if you had a bunch of underneath route runners, the quarterback's not throwing 20+ yard passes downfield."
Pat Riley telling LeBron you gotta stay together if you got the guts. Don't find the first door and run out of it.
Few days later, LeBron ran away, again.
"There's an argument to be made that LeBron's peak was higher than Jordan's. There's an argument to be made that Jordan's peak was higher. I'll put LeBron's 27-game winning streak yr up against anything MJ ever did. The peaks are similar, the longevity is not." —
@getnickwright
You don’t understand how secure in yourself you have to be to agree to this.
Another reason why Steph is one of the all time greats.
Mike 🤝 Kobe 🤝 Steph
Stephen Curry vs. Sabrina Ionescu on All-Star Saturday night is official:
Curry will shoot from the NBA 3-point line with NBA basketballs, and Ionescu will shoot from the WNBA 3-point line with WNBA basketballs. Both will receive money for their charities.
Bron got prime AD on the team dominating on both ends and is barely a 10th seed in the West and he’s focusing on podcasting.
Anything but winning am I right.
