SAS gives Bron his flowers
Why can’t LeBron just play basketball, the man is 42 years old still playing man stop comparing him to everything, it’s like you’re obsessed with that man
It was a Mickey Mouse ring .. we all know it
Screw LeBron
Smith defending bron is new to me
Of course they are better. At 41 is tragic. He slows the game down to a crawl and lets every team keep games close. That’s his Lakers legacy . Needed AD to blow out teams
Wrong premise, LeBron wasn’t the problem, the lack of a good center was. Kessler is doing double the job, both on offense and defense, than Ayton and Hayes ever could. You add LeBron to this roaster, removing someone like Quentin Grimes and it’s a 100% a better roaster.
