    He just posted up Dillon brooks 2 games ago to win a game. Of course you only show up when he messes up after playing the entire 4 th quarter on a B2b and leading a comeback with AR. Both of them ran out of gas

    He threw the ball into a very crowded spot and that’s why we lost.
    Also, if it weren’t for he and Austin turning it on, we would have been blown out.

    Yeah he's been incredibly clutch this season. He gets a pass for occasional hiccups. Can't expect him to be perfect every game, especially at his age Frankly I've been genuinely surprised how clutch he is given his past reputation. He's been Kobe-esque in terms of carrying the team and delivering down the stretch. Can't complain

    GOAT James...he's not THE GOAT(Kareem), but he's definitely earned his place, amongst the very best to ever play the game.

    That's my feeling as well. Kareem the GOAT, Lebron just behind him. But I am considering Kareem GOAT of basketball. Kareem was the most dominant college player of all time and I don't think that's at all debatable. Imagine if you added those college years onto Kareeem's NBA career as was the case for Lebron who went straight in from high school. Then you would have a more difficult debate.

    Bill Russell had an impressive college career too.

    Bill Walton was also amazing in college.

    But I agree with you that Kareem was the greatest college player of all time. He was amazing at Power Memorial in High School too (79-2 with a 71 game winning ).

    Yep and only two losses in his college career: 88 and 2 for three straight championships. One of the losses was because he couldn't play with an eye injury. And they outlawed the dunk because of him. Just insane. That first year he could play for UCLA varsity he averaged 29 points a game. In college!

    Looked old tonight but he's still a cheat code out there at times. His defense in the 4th quarter was as good as his 3 point shooting was bad.
    Just eliminated Evan Mobley

    That reversed foul on his drive late in the game was a joke. He was fouled multiple times technically.

    I guess those type of fouls, don't count when it's Lebron.

    I was shocked out how bad the shot was tonight. I thought he'd show out returning home. Was not the case. To his credit, the 4th was better and he did put forth more effort defensively than usual.



    And f*** the refs and the disrespect.

    Shouldn't be possible to do what LeBron has been doing early in the season in his 21st season.

    26-8-7 on 56/40 (needs to improve FT's) splits is just insane man.

    If he starts knocking down his ft's....he can get up to 27 maybe 28 ppg.

    Insane run by this guy...but we really need our wings back. Too much of a load on LeBron this early in the season
