@@kidusgebretensay7228 You're missing the point by a country mile. If he can't play the way he played in his prime -- and he's no where even close to that -- then he shouldn't be making even more money now than he was paid in his prime, and he shouldn't have the power to make team-oriented decisions with regard to the direction of the franchise, which is exactly what he's been doing. either he's a superstar or he's and old man and should be paid and treated as such. You can't have it both ways. With regard to AD, he at least still produces some legitimate monster games. Old man James hasn't done that in years. I've been a die hard Lakers fan since the 1960s -- decades before you were born -- and in comparison with multiple past Lakers greats James is a fraud.

In my eyes after the 2020 season, I don't think you could win a championship with him as your best player. He is 39 but he is also on the lakers. The lakers dont play for first round exits, play in spots, etc. He is tied to these championship expectations because of the Lakers, because of the media, but also himself. He is a 3rd option at best nowadays but the media gonna say he could win MVP.

[@jacksondolly3248]

The media is responsible for his egotistical behavior. Whenever whichever team he was on won, he was given all the credit, but whenever they'd lose, he'd never get any of the blame and "he never had any help". And now that he's 40 years old, he's getting lenient criticism for his good games, cause "he's in his 22nd year in the league; no one else has done this at this age". No one gives a shit about ages; they care about championships and bringing bragging rights to the winning city. Only dorks really care about stats and all these super convoluted analytics, like the old ESPN "cool facts" like, "Lebron is the first player in 40 years to score 25/8/9 on a tuesday in october on a full moon while the current president is in the hospital" or some shit like that. He's too old to play super effective basketball, and is failing both on offense and defense, yet still gets a fuck ton of minutes. And for literally every other team sport, of course there are veterans and young bloods on the team, but every single coach will limit the aging veteran's games to the most important ones to keep him healthy but also so he can provide experience to the rookies and young players. But Lebron somehow gets immunity and still plays a lot while not providing true leadership to his young teammates, or at the very least providing good offense and defense.

[@AllMenMustServe]

"Lebron is the first player in 40 years to score 25/8/9 on a tuesday in october on a full moon while the current president is in the hospital" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You couldn't be more right. I've seen countless stupid stats during NBA games. Like who cares if it's tuesday, saturday, day or night like wtf xd But what bothers me the most about the NBA is their wokeness and political patronizing. Like it's a sport, leave your political preferences out of it, but they try to push it down our throats every single day. No wonder why their ratings are going down year after year.
