The NBA needs to be more like football where everyone just wants an entertaining game regardless of what teams make it to Super Bowl. NBA fans need to support whatever teams make it to the Finals so that the sport doesn't struggle to exist without a figure head like LeBron to keep it afloat.
      The reality is that once LeBron retires the sport will likely struggle because I don't believe Wembanyama is going to be the big deal that the NBA are already making him out to be. The NBA and the media that covers it needs to put just much attention on smaller market teams as they do LeBron or things will be dire.

But developing continuity with members of your team is very much underrated in this league.

    Brou’s point that Lebron may have realized he can no longer affect the game like he once could is so valid. We’ve been so used to seeing Lebron teams win a game like that last night that when it didn’t happen it shocked not only us but probably him too. He thought he could demoralize this team in the first half and they would lay down but credit to them for fighting back and negating a great performance

    • @user-rr3fo6hy9q
      @user-rr3fo6hy9q Рік тому +3

      He shot 26% from three all series and didn't play well until game 4. Lebron is very strategic, he knows if he shows up for the close out game and plays well and shifts the focus to his "retirement" it will take away from his lackluster performance in games 1-3 and shift all blame to Anthony Davis, who is the actual best player on the Lakers and is the real reason they even had a fighting chance in this series. Lebron walked off the court in game 5 and 6 before the game was over, couldn't even wait for his teammates. Wow what an amazing leader and teammate.
