The fact Lebron is still capable of having stretches of dominance like this is while yes they are much smaller now is absurd considering he’s 39 YEARS OLD. He is still debatably a top 10 player let’s appreciate what he’s doing while we still can
also people ignore how well lebron guarded kawhi this game as well as every other one. lebron has been the kawhi stopper this season and has given him a lot of trouble thus far
I used to think MJ was the GOAT, now I think it's static and both guys have a great case. When you compare NBA seasons from their 4th year out of High School (MJ's rookie year), it's really close and you can absolutely make a case for either guy.
Lebron can still carry a team to victory, but he can only do it when he really dials in and goes 100%. My only concern is how many of these 100% games he has left in the tank, because without LeBron playing at this elite level for at least half of the series, the Lakers can’t go deep into the playoffs.
Yea, he can’t maintain “the zone” as much anymore at this point of his career. The role players definitely need to share the load without his presence as much very early in games, because it hurts in the long run.
If the Lakers still need him to go into that mode, that regularly mid-season then they're cooked in the playoffs. All it'll take is another late season injury that affects LeBron's shooting and suddenly - at least, how it looks to me - the Lakers only really have Reeves and occasionally D'Lo as primary scorers (AD will have his energy and attention split being the Lakers' best defender and he's nowhere near the playmaker LeBron is).
No you didn’t lol, you really think a good analyst like him would believe in dumb conspiracy theory like that ? If the Lakers were favored with magnets in the rim, then the whole team would shoot like that, the Lakers would be 1st seed and the Clippers would have scored a lot of points too … FOR US ! Yeah dummy, if there’s a magnet in Clippers rim, then when they shoot or pass the ball the ball would go in their Basket lol gtfoh with these weak a§s conspiracy
As impressive as LeBron is, the way the Lakers still depend on him so much to bail them out offensively is completely unsustainable for any kind of respectable playoffs run. In 2020, by comparison, you generally knew what you were getting from a given player and you weren't wasting half a quarter every game by letting LeBron rest. It certainly felt like everyone was more locked-in mentallly (which was arguably reflected by their #3 Defensive Rating and #5 Net rating in that season).
The amount of conspiracies coming out, to explain why he couldn't have done this. It's absurd to me people have missed so much of his career yet make such bold statements. He's done this before. In 2008, Milwaukee. He hit 8 threes, literally just chucking it from everywhere like an insane person, and the Cavs were losing the whole game before he did. He's had this performance on basically every team he's been on. The only reason it was 34 points this time was absolutely because of his age. This used to be 55+ points. That's age. He's not getting better. This is him at his SLOWEST.
I love Lebron but he shouldn’t have to outscore the whole Clippers team in the 4th quarter just to win. He’s almost 40 man and if we want to see him 💯% in the playoffs his team has to step it up.
Unfortunately that's what happens when lebron has his contract and the other guy is more of a defensive dude in AD lebron needs a guy like Donovan Mitchell at this point and he's gotta take a pay cut to get role players around him
@@silkytsunami "He’s got nothing to prove." **g** good one. Does he know that? Nobody has ever been MORE desperate to prove he's the best... :D "I want my damn respect". 🙄🙄🙄
that shot by d'lo at 8:50 is absolutely insane. he gets clowned because he has disappeared in the playoffs but you can't deny the world-class skill it takes the hit that shot.
Of course he gets clowned in the playoffs: that's the place where his team need his skill to shine the most! The fact that he has a history of underperforming, despite good regular-season numbers doesn't help his case at all!
Boy oh boy where do I even begin. Lebron... honey, my pookie bear. I have loved you ever since I first laid eyes on you. The way you drive into the paint and strike fear into your enemies eyes. Your silky smooth touch around the rim, and that gorgeous jumpshot. I would do anything for you. I wish it were possible to freeze time so l would never have to watch you retire. You had a rough childhood, but you never gave up hope. You are even amazing off the court, you're a great husband and father, sometimes | even call you dad. I forever dread and weep, thinking of the day you will one day retire. I would sacrifice my own life it were the only thing that could put a smile on your beautiful face. You have given me so much joy, and heartbreak over the years.
I think kawhi is better still because of the defense and better 3 level scoring buts it’s super close and I would much rather bet against kawhi than lebron
He is the King of Load Management never creating bond and smile with teammate. While bron is the glue that can turn standard or weak role player into better. He is Magic Johnson 2.0. Not some guy name Williams.
I was firmly on the AD side after last season, but now I’m really not sure. Healthy LeBron has looked incredible on both ends this year, it’s really up for grabs!
I've been the first to say that LeBron wouldn't have this kind of 4th quarter in him this late in the season with the kind of minutes and fga he puts in. But somehow he does. I don't know how long it'll last, but as a nonbeliever, I admit it's pretty amazing.
Pretty sure there have only been a handful 20+ point 4th quarter comebacks in NBA history, certainly doesn’t happen all the time. The likelihood of a 4th quarter comeback after being down 20 on the road is 1/201 (0.5%) according to a study done by PlayNY.
@@HoopVenue gotcha, didn't think it was 20+ in the 4th, I was watching the video while tidying up my place so I only partially heard what happened. I was thinking of the recent GSW - Denver game where they also had a big comeback so that's why I commented, but I missed the point it seems 😅
Juicing up and getting away with it. Hahahaha!.Best buddy Ty is coCh of Clips right. Kobe 23 pts Jazz 21 In 4th Lakers came back from 10+ in 2 mins and half of 4th. Jeeez Kob was almost 38 and not Juicing.
Bro he clearly slowed down since 2018 and changed his play style to fit athletic ability’s now. The man also spends millions on his body every year and lands differently so he doesn’t get hurt. He hasn’t got a major injury in a decade you should use some common sense
How do steroids help u shoot 40% should he be shooting even worse because of the added strength and weight that gets put on while doing that? He’s never been worse at attacking the rim and only generates 5.5 free throws a game. He’s a generally good 3 level scocer now more than ever. He’s been relying on fundamentals more than strength
It's really insane that he's gonna get to 40K points in his next game. What a feat
Absolutely ridiculous, and nowhere close to slowing down!
@@HoopVenue I can imagine that if he didn't go down with those two injuries in his first and fourth Lakers seasons, he would've been closer to 45K.
More importantly hopefully we get the win
@@jamesmcluvlee well... sadly, that's not what Lebron prioritizes.

On any night it can be either of them. I think it's about as equal a one two punch can get.
Lebron is literally still the mvp on the floor every game it’s crazy
My man said crafty speed and footwork harden walked 2:29
WE DONE WITH THE 90'S!
Its because he noticed Jay Z sitting courtside

He’s not 😂

Lebron Amazing.
Yo bro you gotta make a new video on herb jones. He just held tyrese halliburton to 0 points 3 ast and 3 rebounds
Man, if Russell Westbrook was a league average (34-36%) 3 point shooter for his career, he would’ve been top 20-25 in my eyes.
👑 LEBRON 🐐
