LeBron and the Lakers will seek a 2-0 series lead Tuesday at 10:30 PM ET on NBC and Peacock!
LeBron is pure basketball balance.
on the one hand he's whooping guys while being older than their dad but on the other hand he's playing with his son who is somehow worse than their dad
"When you're number 1 all-time in regular-season AND playoff scoring..."
You can even impress yourself!
19 POINTS, 13 DIMES, 8 BOARDS FOR LEBRON IN THE LAKERS GAME 1 WIN.
This is when I like to remind people that LeBron’s first national magazine profile was actually like 8 months earlier, in SLAM. 😉
If you were making a compilation of LeBron's most impressive victories, that win has to be at least somewhere on the list. I thought they had absolutely no business winning tonight, even with Durant out.
LeBron playing like this at 41 in this era is almost literally unbelievable. I just don’t know that we’ll ever get lucky enough to see someone like this again.
LeBron getting Luke Kennard and Deandre Ayton playing like all-stars, there’s no contest on who the goat is
This was just an incredibly tough shot by LeBron. 😤
#NBA Threads
With Luka out I can merrily root for LeBron again while ignoring the Lakers association because I really do not want the Rockets to win a series.
I think about all the NBA players who worked their asses off, paid their dues, etc. to make the league. Were completely disgusted by the Lebron hype and then had to deal with the fact he really was that good.
it's been beaten to death but it's crazy watching LeBron still playing. Every time I see him on the court my knees wanna explode
Tari couldn’t handle tough coaching from John Brannen, what makes him think he could stand up to LeBron
Luke Kennard and a lot of other role players did their part to help LeBron get the Lakers to a Game 1 win over the Rockets in this opening round of the NBA Playoffs.
This is perfectly calibrated for me, a middle-aged guy who has kids who loved Cars and for whom LeBron has been a fixture in adulthood
Wait is LeBron's kid in the NBA? wasn't space jam 2 about how he wanted to do STEM and not play basketball?
I am the first person to admit I hated on LeBron bc I was a Kobe stan in my younger years but LeBron is lightyears better and doesn’t have the…problematic stuff
