Kareem doesn’t not want to keep talking about Lebron. Let him go home

Unreal accomplishment for Lebron If not the goat- no one can say it’s not an argument

Too bad he did it in a loss on a team multiple games under .500 for a fan base that has never totally embraced him Feels anticlimactic—- well not a loss yet but not looking great
A reminder the Lakers have a title more recently than the Cavs.

And will get another before the Cavs get their next one.

Record will never be broken

It could be.

Depends on how long LeBron plays.

Unlikely, but if scoring continues to trend up, there could theoretically be somebody who averages 33-35 for the better part of 15 years.

You never know.

Is Anthony Davis playing tonight? I was thinking that when the announcer mentioned it.

No.

He was mostly just doing cardio while he watched LeBron break the record.

And this is the last season that is all they are going to do

Alright, I might have been wrong.

They have everything they need.

1 more year with a shot at Vic is still how I would have gone, but Shai + Giddey + both Jalen Williams + Chet + Joe is a really nice young core.

They should use Dort + a couple picks to trade for a nice vet or 2 that can lead the youngins.

I was not wrong about Jalen Williams though. He is so much better at basketball than Dort. Dort’s presence is holding him back.

I expect Bazley to be traded but I don’t know if Presti will part with Dort. You aren’t getting to see Robinson Earle at the moment but he has a place as well. I also think Pokusevski is going to get another contract in the offseason, Presti won’t let wingspan like that walk out the door. Dieng is in the picture as well and he has crazy wingspan as well. Length was on full display last night, Jalen Williams is a star in the making.

You all making me stick up for Kyrie lol

The Cavs were most certainly not better

The Celtics were

Well.....it took the Cavs like 5 years to get there but as an organization today they are doing better than Lebron or Kyrie.

It's really weird watching them go back to the game. I mean, obviously you have to, I'm just saying if its awkward to watch its gonna feel awkward as hell to be a player. Almost wish it would have happened at the very end of the quarter and you just would have had an extended break between quarters

I was about to change the channel, then remembered the game wasn't over. lol

They have less overall success in this decade...And their team is currently much worse...

Cool Mrs. Cleo prediction

Got to see Wilt retire with the scoring record.

Got to see Kareem break Wilt's record.

Got to see Lebron break Kareem's record.

All of them as Lakers.

That's kinda cool.

Anthony Davis based?

If he wasn't so injury prone he would have had a point.

He shows up for the box score

His fourth quarter effort was the only reason they came within 3 pts last night (well, and Rui). AD was a bystander, Lebron was spent after setting the record (adrenaline sapped), and nobody else could hit the broad side of a barn.
