How much blame does LeBron deserve for the Lakers' season?

[@tjsmith3046]

Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED None

[@rellybws]

Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED all of it!!!! We were told Lakers are winning 50 games with just his arrival. We were told he can carry ANY team to the finals. We were told why wouldn’t we want Lebron we haven’t been relevant in 5 years. Well we were lied to.

[@wholelottagangshit2952]

There’s been talks that even after all this Marc Spears and others think AD still isn’t getting dealt to the Lakers and if Bron doesn’t get him or anybody else he might end up missing again.

[@sportscommenter2680]

They don't even need AD to make the playoffs. If this roster was all the way healthy and they never traded zubac they would be in the playoffs. All they need is another scoring guard and a good big man that can play his role.

[@maleeksambrano7302]

[@warriorforchrist5769]

Shannon with the excuses, again. I believe when LeBron came back, the Lakers chances we're good (23-25) I think. Their record since LeBron came back... not so good. They're actually worse since Lonzo being out.

[@keefdavis244]

6-15 without Zo. The denial is deep.

[@gregorysampson8066]

It was a very inexcusable move to bring a 16 year vet over with the young players

[@warriorforchrist5769]

@GNB they were in the 4th seed, when LeBron got hurt... but also around 2 games from dropping to the 8th seed, I believe.

Skip kept it 💯

[@Chelseatreble2024]

Damn Broussard, why did have to sell out. Use to love the insight he brought about basketball, but this is ridiculous. Every team has injuries. I like the wizards and Wall was gone all this year essentially and will be out all next year and destroyed our cap with his contract, no one here in the DC area is making excuses. We suck, that’s it. Win or lose that’s it. All that matters.

[@AAL.]

STOP TALKING ABOUT THE LAKERS

[@Dec4AllTimeAlways]

Jeanie Buss is losing her mind. Just two weeks ago, she was calling the AD trade reports "fake news." She's now turning into Donald Trump while the media is turning on her. 🤣

[@Brehon_TalkingFinance]

Skip never takes a day off, except his week of vacation

Can't LBJ just go away already. Killing the vibe in LA...damn

[@cameronhenderson9536]

Miss me with that injury bs I’ve seen a team make it to the playoffs with a lot of injuries to the point you wouldn’t even know who was on the team the next day and they were less talented than this lakers squad

[@bigdog9507]

The injuries are just a convenient excuse. Even when the team was healthy there were segments every day about how either Ingram or Ball didn't fit with LeBron

[@cameronhenderson9536]

Dominique Robinson true I just hate they are giving that excuse and the fact that they keep bringing up where they were before injuries ticks me off too because it was like a 2 or 3 game difference from 4th in the west to out of the picture so that’s not really saying much either they just need to admit that it’s just a bad team even with lebron and he can be partially he blame as to why they are bad

[@andrewc9580]

the injuries messed up this season, it’s obvious.

[@jerryboyz4188]

Shame that a non playoff team gets talked about more than actual playoff teams

Why are we still watching Lebron related material? I'm actually now not looking forward to the playoffs. Because it's all going to be about a guy who is not even there.

[@devantenichols440]

I know Kuzma had to push him into the defender come on Bron come on king

[@tigerhoods7927]

Lol why is this still a topic

[@jhmxk]

Lebron post allstar break closed the door on the the laker playoff chances and he deserves blame for part of the AD stuff but it not entirely his fault. The laker had injuries to him lonzo and rondo that's their 3 best ball handers and there best defender in lonzo. It didn't help that Luke Walton changes the rotation every game like he doesnt know what to do either. I agree with Chris.

[@nav.5350]

Did skip say he loves lebron??

[@RMACAO87]

Could they be any more predictable? I know what I'm going to get from Shannon he's biased but honest about his bias Chris Broussard try to act like he's critical of LeBron James but anytime the name LeBron James comes up you could tell it can't, he won't, say anything bad about LeBron.

Here we go again with the lebum apologists. Broussard and shannon trying so hard to save daddy lebums legacy. 🤬 Injuries? Really? ... Yeah fake injuries maybe. The audacity of this people to say injuries when lebum wanted everyone out of LA for AD 😂🤣 I really thought at first this chris broussard character is a great analyst... Then he started talking about lebum and just lebum... Hes no different with the shannon sharpe's of the world and much worse is... he raises his voice when defending lebron as if doing that makes whatever it is he's saying correct 🤬🤭🤥

[@lmyke8741]

[@skudda2fresh844]

And another thing CHRIS IS A FANBOY AND THE MOST CONFUSED ANALYST I EVER SEEN

[@Shagz2001]

Net affect - 0. There was good and bad he was the cause of. They played better at times, and worse at times. With or without him, they end up with the same record. The drama, his shadow GM'ing, as well as the expectations are all on him. (Without him, there aren't much expectations to begin with.)

The last time I checked, Jesus is the only blameless one. So why everyday Shannon and Chris make excuses for this diva.

[@chicob.3906]

Even if Lebron wasn’t injured that don’t mean they would of held on to the 4th. Clippers were the first seed at the time and now they are at the bottom of the seeding. So to say the Lakers would be top 4 then the Clippers should still be the first...

[@crossroads427]
