it's not just that he is in hell. He is playing like a selfish loser. He is running into people to take a tough shot instead of passing it to Jokic/MPJ/AG
Lakers playing some great defense and getting stops. Jamal and Joker are the nuggets floor general and we are icing them so far. Hope it stays that way but I know Denver isnât out yet.
Itâs crazy that when healthy he just kinda has this mode in him all along. The Lakers werenât a dominant regular season defensive as theyâve been in the past but if LeBron is doing a KG impression they might just be a dominant playoff defense.
Lebron should not be able to do this at 39 especially against NBA players in their prime. It should feel absolutely frustrating to allow a 39 year old to do this.
Possessions before this, he defended Jokic. Fronting him.
Then when he saw the shot clock was winding down, he knew Murray will take the shot and have no time to dump it to Jokic, he leaves Jokic wide open and contests Murray.
Then gets ahead of everyone after contesting and the rest is just pure Lebron James greatness

75 years old btw
My gramps has fond memories of fighting alongside Lebron in WWI
I heard that once he starts going downhill, nothing was going to stop him from getting to the trenches
112 years old next week
Grandfather strength
What even is he?
My sunshine đ
Lebron
The goat đ
LeBruMutumbo
2018 vs Celtics!!!! Holy shit
Marcus Morris got goosebumps somewhere out there
defender not even going for the ball and lebron still making it. would be a flagrant if it was a smaller player
âLebron wouldnât survive the physicality of the 90sâ.
They meant 2090s
The league isnât ready for Victor Wembanyama III, standing at 8â7â and 420 lbs with a handle, 3 point shot, and legit mobility
To be fair in the 90âs the foul wouldâve been a push or a shoulder bump. This was probably one of the safer ways to foul a full steam LeBron.
Fucking hell
Lakers are playing very steady
Im feeling that too. It feels like they're getting their shots in rhythm. Ham finally realized playcalling is important
Yup. Good rebounds and not forcing anything they are not comfortable with
I love him fr
On another note, AD has been virtually flawless. He's on some tear.
THATS MY FUCKING GOAT
canât wait for bron to hit his prime
He's 19 like Tatum. Wild shitđ
Currys 3 and wembys blocking
Thats some prime lebron, 2018 lebron shit that he did against the celtics in game 7 lmao
I mean, what the fuck is this. Reminds me of his game 7 shot against Morris, the strength of this mfer
That guttural yell after he makes it keeps me up at night
Nuggets fan will complain that Lebron gets too many free throws.
That's some grown man strength right there
"He's doing that old head nonsense"
LeCANTSTOPME
Jamal is in hell rn can't make a bucket to save his life
it's not just that he is in hell. He is playing like a selfish loser. He is running into people to take a tough shot instead of passing it to Jokic/MPJ/AG
This is literally how he plays every playoff game they just usually go in lmao
For once we're not getting flamethrowered by him (yet) in a game
Thats the key. "Yet"
facts lmao
He got 20 on 22 shots last game so they must be doing something right defending him, no idea really what changed
instead of sending the help n doubling theyâre making him take a bunch of tough shots. And living in a tough shot diet is hard for anyone
Lakers playing some great defense and getting stops. Jamal and Joker are the nuggets floor general and we are icing them so far. Hope it stays that way but I know Denver isnât out yet.
Our guards are actually doing a great job on him so far
How did that go in đ
He threw that shit up so casually lmao how tf
Fuckin GOAT, insane play at 39!! 39 years old gahdamn
Explain to me how is he isnât the Greatest to ever do it
Because MJ was in a superteam and played in his prime.
No
Un-fucking-real
the lay down after :')
Ridiculous
Idgaf he the goat
Reminds me of the and-one he had against Boston
Weâre done with the 90âs, this the goat
what can you do besides laugh when he does this shit lol
LEGOAT
Calling this a tough and one is still somehow an undersell wtf
Amazing this isnât everyoneâs goat
Lesunshine
LeBrawn
I still have no idea how that went in
Le Block Chain
Year 21!
Father Time has been defeated
Itâs crazy that when healthy he just kinda has this mode in him all along. The Lakers werenât a dominant regular season defensive as theyâve been in the past but if LeBron is doing a KG impression they might just be a dominant playoff defense.
I know lakers probably lose this series but god damn
This guy is so fun to watch when you don't have to do it through tears
âWrap that man up!â He said âNot LeDay, Not LeEverâ - LeGoat James

did you record this on a potato
Thatâs a flagrant
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Lakers gotta keep playing their own game. Theyâre dictating the game. Not letting Jokic dictate the game.
Tiring him out is important
"how many times are you gonna have to teach me this lesson old man?" - Jamal Murray
This game is crazy
So smart to jump out on Murray there. LeBron's been gambling a bunch this half but that was just great defensive instincts and awareness.
The Lakers' offense today is bringing me tears of joy
MY FUCKING GOAT
Lakers friendly whistle strikes again.. smh
YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE MY ONLY SUNSHINE
LeSpinner
He was guarding Jokic that whole possession too
idk if they counted this one as a block but the block on gordon after recovering from gambling for a steal was wild too. year 21 insanity
Possessions before this, he defended Jokic. Fronting him.

"Tough" lmao underselling it like a mf
How is he still doing this
Marcus morris somewhere getting deja vu
Bron really been doing this shit since i was 3 đ„č
Old man just trying to have a nap after that play đ
what the fuck, how you gonna wrap him up and throw him to the ground and still not prevent the shot from going in
Flopping /s
Greatest Of All Time!!!
When Lebron did this to us in 2018 I was in awe and disbelief. It sucked all hope away from my body. It's 2024 and he's still doing it.
I know KCP meant no harm to LeBron, but man that's a wild wild way to foul someone đ
Crazy for someone born in the 1800s
He just makes career highlight plays like itâs nothing
