And to think there’s actually people out there that think he’s better than Jordan.... that’s laughable... it’s MJ by a LONG ways.

I think I’d take Kobe over LeBron all time..... Kobe was competitive as hell.... he wouldn’t be mailing it in.

This performance might even move LeBron out of the top five.

Playoffs/finals is why. That easy.
 
The Lakers chirp so much. And in an era where crying about any call that goes against you is the norm, the Lakers still stand out

One argument the LeBron fanboys have is about to go out the window. The fact that they always threw out that LeBron never lost in the first round.

Even with the injuries this is a loaded LA roster.

Compare to what Denver just did with half their team injured for huge parts of the year.

He's an all time great and has been crazy durable but the window is finally closing.

The one argument the LBJ fanboys seem to not make is the one that actually makes sense. He was never paired with a legendary coach. I think they hate that argument because maybe he had a hand in it somehow. You want to compare the advantages and disadvantages of LeBron vs MJ? It wasn't that MJs teams had more talent, but he definitely played for better coaches in Jackson and Collins.

Tim Duncan doesn't have his career without teaming with Pop. Phil was a legit edge for MJ, Kobe and Shaq. It's the one real aspect of support that he didn't have in his career that several other all time greats did.

Suns might be lucky to hang on with how physical the officials are allowing LA to be. They are totally playing Huggy ball right now can't call a foul on every possession

I'm not saying you're wrong, but coaches like Pop and Phil are few and far between. It is such a player driven league now too, where I think who the coach is doesn't matter as much as it used to.

If LBJ had the right coach and built that relationship and trust over many years...that coach would have been the next Pop/Phil. You could say the same about an organization. Miami has a quality organization but it wasn't many years.

It wasn't an advantage for him having so many coaching changes.

Spoelstra could have been that match for him, that was probably his only chance though. I don’t see anything like that happening in LA for him, if he wasn’t there they’d be a disaster.

Late in the fourth quarter of a playoff game and LeBron asked to come out of the game?

Yeah, this is bizarre. I am not sure if he has sat at all in the 2nd half until now, but you really have to question the decision to sit now, with the season hanging by a thread. World class athlete no less, not to mention there have been tons of stoppages this half

They said on the broadcast that it was smart with the under 7 timeout coming up. He was only out for a minute or so of game time. I don't watch much NBA so I was also questioning it
