Lebron may be the 2nd best guy to ever lace ’em up, but he’s no way a top-3 Laker. 2 out of 3 seasons here ended disappointingly, and the bubble bowl will forever have a asterisk. Not even close. Probably fighting for Pau towards the 9-10 range.
We’d have 10+ losing seasons right now, if he didn’t come. Maybe not not, but he will eventually.
Bro, people are ignoring his obvious decline already, same as they did with Kobe. We all know that 1/4 to 1/2 step is the difference between MVP-Level, makes you a contender by his sheer presence to a realistically 2nd team All-NBA guy is a MAJOR dropoff. You can already see the ramifications in Philly – Lebron is no longer a force of nature so we can tell his piss-boy Rich to go kick rocks on the Simmons negotiations.
Not seeing a path where he carries the Lakers to the promised land without a bunch of things breaking his way. I wouldn’t put him in the rafters if all he brings home is the Bubble Bowl Ring, much less put him in the conversation with the All-Time Lakers.
A Lot of rational retorts in there…much of the criticism LeBron has earned and deserves is self-inflicted…
My question as always about him is…why shade his accomplishments? What’s the point here for haters???…
1) Never drafted himself 2) Never called himself the ‘chosen one’ Sports Illustrated gave him that 3) People throwing shade by saying he has no “go to move”…
As a matter of fact LeBron has a signature offense and defense maneuver; Offensively no one can come close to his transition tomahawk jam…
Not to mention he’s literally the most menacing chase down block threat in NBA history…
At this point criticizing him beyond his age is stale bread, my close friend…
I’m not talking about what he did before he came to LA when he was at his peak in the least. Really immaterial to me. I’ve already conceded he’s the 2nd best of all time (although you could say Kareem has a pretty strong case there). He came to town and couldn’t take a young group to the playoffs and punted on the season when his manservant couldn’t piss and moan his way to getting Lebron a second all-star. He’s been dinged up every year in LA, and without the covid layoff, could have been dinged up that year too. We already know AD was on the shelf prior to the bubble. His game was heavily predicated on a level of Athleticism that was unprecedented. Not saying there wasn’t a great deal of hard work, skill, and determination to go with it, just saying the difference between a top-15 player and then undisputed king of the league was that twitch. Well, it’s no longer there, like it or not. Still great, still can help you be relevant, but on his own, really not taking anyone, anywhere without a whole lotta things breaking his way.
I’ll be up front and say I’ve never been a fan. The passive aggressive, self-serving nonsense the emanates from him and his mouthpieces is just so off-putting and disingenuous to me. Regardless of what he does on the court, he will always be outshadowed by his nonsense.
