[@prestozable]

A lot of people will forget how close the Lakers vs Nuggets series actually was last year, while the Nuggets did sweep them they only won each game by less than 10 points besides game 3 by 11. This was with a roster that didn't have much time playing together and an injured Lebron James who couldn't hit a 3 to save his life, now he's healthy and shooting a career high 41% from 3.

[@tyriquetaylor7827]

The fact that people actually think a 39 year old can lead his team to the title should sum up his greatness on its own. That’s called sustain greatness. 1of1. Btw I’m taking the Lakers 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@nightdonutstudio]

It is crazy that so many people still expect him to be dominant and win a championship at age 39. I mean he is 39.

[@geordiejones5618]

It would make him the undisputed GOAT if he won this year.

[@DarthKrafter]

We don’t expect him to be dominant, we want the media to admit he isn’t and that his team is the reason they are doing well. Lebron is almost 40, to put up numbers like he does is amazing, but the media makes it seem like he is carrying the lakers when he isn’t.

[@KC-lg8qf]

​@@DarthKrafterno one is saying that, but is still clearly the best player in the team. There has been plenty of talk about AD, Dlo, Rui, Reeves.

[@KC-lg8qf]

I mean he is 26 ppg 7.5 boards....8 assists. 54% fg and 40% from 3. He has absolutely been dominant....and the Lakers have a shot. He's not physically overwhelming people for 48 minutes a night like he used to but his game is so polished now he doesn't have to. He will still dunk on you when he needs to as well.

[@jakeman025]

⁠@@DarthKrafterwhen your team has been top 3 since the all star break in major statistical categories including win loss and during that span youre avging 27.5 7.6 9.5 on 62% TS you’re absolutely dominating. The reason why it doesn’t seem like it is because this is lebrons default mode and the level of play we’ve become accustomed to over the last 21 seasons. It’s a team game in the end but individually he’s dominated. Either way the reason the team is doing well is because Lebron and AD both played over 70 games and have undoubtedly carried this lakers team together. Besides those two every single player on the team is fungible.

[@chriswilliams6498]

13 assists in the 1st half is insane, done forget about the individual defense on Zion, to still be able to control and have your imprint on the game at 39 is legendary, especially at a age where most greats are declining or just flat out washed.

[@egoworks5611]

such a good video bro, thank you

[@HenryZhoupokemon]

The last time the final day of regular season was this impactful, the T-Wolves and the nuggets were both fighting for the 8 seed, and not the 1st seed It was basically a play-in game before the nba added it

[@SDKNguyen1234]

I’ll be the one of few to say this. If you let age fool you, the age old question will stand firmly in time as a test of not just athleticism and strength, but skill and strategy as well.

Can't deny his longevity , LeBron has been a beast of a man at 39. This man wasted so much money to get in shape , while in a cryogenic machine.

[@emoneybagz3123]

They should let bron officially play point and have coaches struggle to find ways to stop them,

[@henryviiifake8244]

Is like to agree, but doesn't that leave the Lakers with a huge problem of filling the PF spot?

[@kdawg6887]

Would only work if Vando is back

[@WitNest..]

He’s already playing like a point guard. He doesn’t have offensive rebounds, swings the ball over and rests away from the basket. Good thing his 3’s are going in now, he can’t shoot mid jumpers and free-throws consistently.

[@sonisisuper]

@@WitNest.. LeBron is an excellent cutter, screener, and roller, all off-ball work. Everyone rests when they are completely out of the action. And his free throws are fine.

[@12gark]

It's even better if you just let him decide what to do. LeBron spent the last 2 months alternating from ball handler to big man depending on who DLo's shooting was going. That's why you see saw many big nights for DLo. When Russell has his hot shooting moment, you see LeBron just force feeding him or not even wanting the ball and letting him cook. Same thing when AD or Reaves have an easy 1v1 matchup to exploit. The moment they throw the kitchen sink at the other guy cooking, LeBron takes over. The least he has to do on offense, the more energy he'll have on defense.

[@ericalmighty1535]

I think he’s going to do 23 seasons. If he retires next year ima cry

[@WitNest..]

Maybe if you flop like him, he’ll stay.

its funny to watch this video after watching the lebron defensive masterclass video of awfullcoaching on the same match :DDD for the bald old men what will make him always special is his playmaking

[@FastforwardrapTv205]

Its talked about a lot. He's the oldest player in the league and is setting all of the old man records. But all of this should not be undermined or underappreciated. What he is doing would be impressive for any player of any age

[@mercisadiki]

It’s insane cause he’s still not fully healthy. He has been dealing with an ankle injury all season. He hurt it right before the all star game which is why he didn’t play the whole game.

[@chrilpy]

What also stood out was his defense. He was completely locked in and locked Zion up

[@kashkabandian6254]

the lakers still don't have a center to match the joker. if lebron can somehow outplay jokic (big if) he still needs everybody on his team to be on point offensively and defensively. Sadly, even as a lakers fan, I don't see them beating a fully healthy denver team

The lakers honestly match up better vs the thunder than the nuggets. They might not want to win the first play-in game.

[@jesseminnema2999]

Do we think LA wants that 7 seed against the Nuggets? It’s got its up and downsides.

[@12gark]

I think it's a test of basketball character. It's weak look if you duck them. Go out and play, there is no point in postponing the inevitable. Of curse, if Ingram goes off for 40 and NOLA wins, good for them, it's fine as long as you play hard.

[@UnaiGarciarena]

Now I have hope they can beat the nuggets :(

[@Goofy8907]

I saw the game, offensively he performed But he had a bunch of really bad turnovers due to what seemed like age/fatigue, he basically just lost it He's still great, but I feel like you just don't mention these things for some reason

yeah, the reason is they are normal basketball plays happening, and this is a highlight video, not shaqtin a fool.
