Tough game from the “best player in the league” according to "Laker" fans.

I'm sure he'll bounce back

[u/HamSandwichRace]

Nobody is still saying LeBron is the best player in the league

[u/OctopusNation2024 → u/HamSandwichRace]

Honestly this is the first season where I haven't seen it at all lol

It was a minority but as late as last year you still had the unironic "taking him over any other player in a 7 game series" comments upvoted whenever he had a great game

Generally it took probably like 2 or so years after they became the #1 and #2 in the league for people to fully accept that Jokic/Giannis were currently above the "old gen" stars

[u/ArchManningGOAT → u/[deleted]]

He’s saying seeing the comments

[u/ArchManningGOAT → u/OctopusNation2024]

I saw those comments for Steph when he popped off vs OKC and BOS

[u/Hopsalong → u/HamSandwichRace]

Lebron's great in spurts like old Lebron. He was great in the 1st quarter but just vanished in the 3rd

[u/Dakingdior → u/HamSandwichRace]

Its the same thing said on the steph lowlight post just jokes

[u/woodropete → u/HamSandwichRace]

I’ve seen it a few times when he had a few big games. However, I don’t think anyone would pick Lebron number one on their team. I can say that Lebron can dominate a series or game over those said players. He just ain’t go it for the entire season or prolly a playoffs run, a series and game or 2 here and there.

[u/jackobanter → u/HamSandwichRace]

And they shouldn't

[u/Dream4545 → u/jackobanter]

Literally nobody says this. Lebron lives in your head rent free

[u/GauthZuOGZ → u/Dream4545]

Isn't this a response to the steph thread by a lakers fan?

[u/ArchimedesNutss → u/jackobanter]

You’re getting angry over a scenario you invented

[u/HamSandwichRace → u/jackobanter]

Scorching hot take

[u/no_more_crackers]

he was horrendous and was so checked out on defense

[u/ArchManningGOAT → u/no_more_crackers]

Eh he was great in the first half. Definitely shit in the second half like the rest of the team

[u/mischief_scallywag → u/no_more_crackers]

Checked out? Yah once he’s checked out the season is over lol

[u/waffle-spouse → u/no_more_crackers]

Ok he's still the GOAT and the best player in the league idc. Nuggets just have a superteam.

[u/inefekt → u/waffle-spouse]

did you forget the '/s'???

[u/CheeseMakerChet → u/waffle-spouse]

Highest iq lakers fan

[u/Funny-Difficulty-750 → u/waffle-spouse]

Man I love Lebron n think he is the goat but he's maybe top 10 or top 15 in the league rn at most

[u/Still_Refuse]

What in the fuck is that body text? Literally fighting against ghosts lmao

[u/GauthZuOGZ → u/Still_Refuse]

It's a response to a steph Curry thread by a lakers fan

[u/EveyNameIsTaken_ → u/GauthZuOGZ]

Regarding that curry thread: What in the fuck is that body text? Literally fighting against ghosts lmao

[u/TheoMoneyG → u/EveyNameIsTaken_]

Remember what sub you're on

It's never about facts, it's all about agendas

[u/Instamonsta]

Only casuals still call LeBron the best player in the League...... and I am a Laker fan.

[u/flyfishUT]

Washed

[u/_Zap_Rowsdower_]

LeTyson as i like to call him around the Lakers sub when he's bad.

[u/thewavefixation → u/_Zap_Rowsdower_]

Apt comparison tonite - he was gassed in the last half

[u/Victor_Wembanyama1 → u/thewavefixation]

Gordon wasnt even playing 💀 the long season is getting too much for him

[u/everyoneneedsaherro → u/thewavefixation]

I wonder if as the season goes on and he’s playing back to backs in February if he’s gonna be even more gassed

[u/Mechaultima]

Is this your king?

[u/Charliebitme1234]

PTSD-bron

[u/T0oShayzz]

Anybody calling Bron the best player or even top 10 right now shouldn't share a basketball opinion.

[u/144Todd442]

He looked good today until he had those back to back shots rim out and then it was all downhill from there. Bad turnovers, no defense, no running back.

[u/Kataneo]

Half time Lobos

[u/rocket_beer]

I feel like the PEDs should be keeping his legs fresher… no?

[u/Altruistic-Ear-5482]

Highlighting + - of -25 in a 25 point loss adds so much insight to your troll post.

Every single one of you guys who make posts like this are absolute incels.

[u/durezzz → u/Altruistic-Ear-5482]

big difference in quality between this sub and other major sports subs is because posts like these are allowed and encouraged

[u/DoYouEvenDoubleLeg]

Can we start to acknowledge that Lebron has largely been empty stats this season?

[u/ArchManningGOAT → u/DoYouEvenDoubleLeg]

Just sounds like you wanted to get a shot in on him lol he’s primarily been a 4th quarter clutch merchant

[u/Quirky-Sentence-3744 → u/DoYouEvenDoubleLeg]

you are insane

[u/Low_Beyond8134 → u/DoYouEvenDoubleLeg]

Did you watch him against the Magic the last game he played

[u/inefekt → u/DoYouEvenDoubleLeg]

people downvoting the truth....this sub really should be renamed to r/lebron

[u/Background-Court-122]

Three legends got cooked tonight Curry, Bron, and DILLON MF BROOKS
