LeBron James

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
It makes zero sense for lebron to move to the western conference now let alone the lakers...hell lavar is a big enough reason to stay away from the lakers
 
I just don't see it. Sucks for the media but barring a massive collapse and/or colossal injuries to our team there's no other realistic option for him. You can't trust Philly's health/youth yet. Ask me after Embiid plays back to backs. That's more realistic in a couple years. LA.... LOL. He'll pick up his option and we'll go through this again next year.

But FINALZ EL'z!!11!11! and LIEF AFTIR BASKITBALLL!!111!! An' DANNY GILBURT IZ A MEANIE!!

One of the amazing things about the whole LeBron 2018, and Bron's life in general, is that the other 29 teams' fans as a whole, to say nothing of the Lakers/etc. hopeful, seem to catch onto these kernels of hope all at once and cling on to them in unison for a bit, until it turns out that there is little to them, and then they'll be dormant until the next kernel. You see it on every realgm and r/nba "Where will Bron play in 2018" poll around the time one of these ideas goes viral.

It's a credit to Rich Paul & friends ability to manipulate the media - and to rightly keep Koby Altman on his toes.

Different league back then.

We had enough its just our coaching couldn't overcome the Magic's matchup problems.

We would have been a problem for the Lakers.

I suppose Mike Brown could have deployed LeBron in a different way defensively, but we just matched up incredibly poorly with Orlando. They were our kryptonite.

I don't think we matched up very well with the Lake Show either, for that matter. Their bigs- Gasol, a healthy Bynum and a sane Odom- presented us with some real problems.

The life after basketball is hilarious... he will have a billion dollars by the time his career is done and dusted, he can go wherever the hell he likes.

Lebron is extremely smart, he knows his best chance at a ring is in cleveland. All he needs to do is convince I.T to commit past this year ( unless of coarse a better player comes along).

Good points, and it's amusing on the Finals L's thing how quickly it shifted from "he's staying East cuz he needs his free ride to the Finals every year" to "he needs to go west so he doesn't face a 3-7 or 3-8 Finals record to stack up against MJ's 6-0 and Kobe's 5-2." I suppose it's possible that LeBron legitimately would change from one base of thinking to another, but his crew is downright meticulous about planning out and reasoning these things.

On his supposed strife with Gilbert, I'm inclined to believe that he sorted out any major rifts in that 2014 meeting more than any of us know.

When did LeBron's shot blocking really make the leap to what it is now, though? Like 2009-2010? He's definitely gotten really good at it.

I still think Dwight's 3 year run of DPOY was the best defensive play I've seen in the NBA in my time as a fan. I'd still say that window of time is a better shot blocker than LeBron.

Factor in longevity, and sure, LeBron's probably it.
 
Do they honestly expect us to believe that LeBron is specifically teaming up with Nerlens Noel just because they have the same agent? :chuckle:

I get that most of this forum is anti-Harden (myself included), but he's certainly the MVP if the season ended today. Dude is having a monster season, and his team is winning at a huge rate.

Its close if ended today, and Lebron's efficiency is giving him the edge this minute.

What will be interesting is the end of the year stats. WIth CP3 back, will Harden drop a bit, while when IT comes back Lebron will certainly drop.

I think it will be Harden if I had to bet, but you just cant put anything past Lebron anymore.

In reading this from Shea Serrano: https://www.theringer.com/nba/2017/12/6/16740434/lebron-james-chase-down-blocks-monster-dunks

A thought occurred to me... Is LeBron James the greatest shot blocker of our time? I'm not talking about volume of blocked shots. He's certainly not the most prolific. But in terms of athleticism, timing, and ground covered, he has to be the best right?

In my lifetime probably Hakeem. Manute was pretty insane and so was Dekembe. As far as all time, many will argue Bill Russell, but I never saw him play.

Lebron is for sure the greatest non big man shot blocker of all time, but really isnt even top 10.
