He is. Still balling but he can't be Superman and lead them to a win by himself.

No more 40-50 point games, just 30-35 with 7 and 7 or 6 and 6.
How could you say that he is part of the problem with the amount of talent that guy brings. He just can’t do it all by himself. Kind of like Kobe couldn’t do it by himself he needed Shaq all those years

And I am going to bet that Laker fans will be grateful for the title he brought them when he leaves instead of being bitter at the state of the roster.

Ingram, Ball, and Randle were never going to win a title for the Lakers.

Once LeBron is gone, they will start over and eventually get back to the top’again.
@DJ read that last sentence. Saying that they will get to the top once he leaves. So he is saying pretty much that he is part of the problem or am I reading that wrong

You are reading that very wrong. I said they would start over and eventually get to the top again. I don’t know how you read that thinking I am saying LeBron is why they are struggling.

The entire conversation was about what the roster would look like once LeBron eventually left, whether that is via free agency or retirement.

Another poster was criticizing LeBron because of what he leaves behind when he does eventually move on.

My entire point was that it really doesn’t matter what he leaves behind because he delivers championships while he is there.

And, on top of that, every team he has left has been able to assemble a pretty good roster within a few years of him leaving.

Hell no the Lakers won’t be immediately better when LeBron leaves. But they will eventually contend again in the not too distant future because they are the Lakers.

Merry Christmas everyone! Even to @WiggyRuss and @HurricaneDij39.

Predictions for today:

Knicks
Bucks
Suns
Lakers
Jazz

Think all home team sweep today. Covid has robbed us of a couple of fun matchups. Either way 5 games to enjoy today so can’t be that upset. Have a good one yall.

Do his accomplishments ever stop? Just unreal what he's done during his career.

LeBron James becomes the only player in NBA history to rank top 100 in these six major statistics


-points, assists, rebounds, steals, blocks and three pointers

-he's # 3 in points, # 8 in assists, # 42 in rebounds, # 11 in steals, # 100 in blocks, # 11 in 3's made

Is it just me or isn’t it funny how a few years ago we would laugh at the Knicks playing on one of the nba’s Christmas games. They have come a long way but still got a long way to go to hang with the elite of this league
