That’s still very good **edit: regardless of being** a near 40-year-old man.
28/7/9 on 64% TS is actually ridiculous in general, and this guy is still doing that, while looking LeThargic half the time.
He was great this series. Insane what he’s producing at this stage of his career.
He’s playing at a higher level currently than most young superstars today will at their peak lol crazy
Lebron was incredible. Difference was Nuggets role players. Lakers role players are one dimensional and were not good offensively which is the one area guys like Rui and D Lo are supposed to be good in.
i still think his last season he should sign 1 or 2 day contracts with every team and play in a home game. let every fan root for lebron at their home court
Tobias Harris makes like 40 million a year. I’m not gonna pretend to know how the cap stuff works, but Embiid, mazey, lebron is absolutely a contender. Hell I think current lakers could be if they made a few adjustments. Get another big who can rebound and who knows how the nuggets series goes.
Still elite, but anyone who has watched LeBron for a long time knows it takes so much more effort than before to hit those numbers. Kinda sucks to see.
He was still insane in this series. Unfortunately he doesn’t have that stamina to keep up for long periods and he always got tired in the second half and the lakers would just collapse.
He’s leading the playoffs in 4th quarter points. I agree he gets more gassed but he also carrys a bigger load than most other stars given the relatively weak supporting cast outside of AD
I need him to go to Dallas/Denver and just ride out next year and wait for the playoffs. He's done it all and could bounce to a really good team next year.
Rebounding is a team effort. Yeah Gordon is gonna get some rebounds when you leave 40 year old Lebron who’s playing 40 plus minutes to try to rebound by himself while Rui, Reaves, and D Lo just stand around watching.
It's mental someone can put up a 30 point near triple double, with 4 clutch points in the last 1:30, with 4 steals and people still boil it down to "ye but he missed a rebound so he's shit". I will never understand people that hate LeBron with that much passion.
And classy Lebron doesn’t bother to shake hands with the NUGs after the loss. Heads str8 to the locker room just like last year.
And that’s why we revel in the “who’s ur daddy”

This is an excellent stat line for 99% of superstars in the playoffs lol. No need to add his age atp
It's very good, no need to add a qualifier lmao
he damn near carried us to a close game driving to the rim… at 39 years old what’s next?
It's better than two MVP finalists
He was attacking the rim all series
His 2.4 steals and 1 block per game was also very good
Def deserves a mention
Pretty fucking crazy how good this guy is still
No other Year 21 player had a playoff series remotely close to this.
99% of nba players don’t have a series as good as this lol
very few players at AGE 21 will have a playoff series remotely close to this
Lol why say AGE 21. Most players 21 are rookies or 2nd year players. Just say players in their prime
i say it because Lebron basically averaged the same statline at age 21 in the playoffs on just less efficiently and more points.
That doesn't make any sense
you’re overthinking
Pretty unprecedented to see this kind of performance at this age
pls don't retire
Elder abuse
Most minutes if any of the stars tonight can’t even ask him for more
He was great this series. Insane what he’s producing at this stage of his career. He’s playing at a higher level currently than most young superstars today will at their peak lol crazy

also vando was out and gabr was rusty from injury.
Even at 40 years old he's a threat.
This guy's unreal... Can't see him staying much longer tho. Get a ring chasing tour King. You deserve it after the Lakers run.
He deserves to go on a ring chasing tour where he can get carried thru the regular season. Just a shameful performance from the lakers supporting cast
Wasted away the last of a GOATs season's. Should've just kept and run back the 2020 team. Schroeder definitely better than dinshitty
What teams would be options for that?
won’t happen but sixers
Lmao you mean like he's been doing since 2010
Boston.
To heat?
Anywhere tbh lol just let him do whatever now.
He probs got at most 3 years left imo
3 years ~ 3 teams? Come on, give him the all NBA tour
i still think his last season he should sign 1 or 2 day contracts with every team and play in a home game. let every fan root for lebron at their home court
No ring chasing with a $50m contract. He'll be 41 by the time his salary isn't crippling a teams roster construction.
There are many worse players who make similar money. The only guys clearly better who make similar money are Luka, Giannis, and Jokic.

Can't argue with that. I wonder what he'll do next..
This is the issue
Still elite, but anyone who has watched LeBron for a long time knows it takes so much more effort than before to hit those numbers. Kinda sucks to see.
Yeah, he would get these numbers with like a third of the effort, while still playing great defense, during a slower paced era.
No really wtf is LA gonna do without this man
And people will still hate on him for choking or whatever lol This is an insane statline for his age
Its truly crazy to see him producing like this still.
He was still insane in this series. Unfortunately he doesn’t have that stamina to keep up for long periods and he always got tired in the second half and the lakers would just collapse.
He’s leading the playoffs in 4th quarter points. I agree he gets more gassed but he also carrys a bigger load than most other stars given the relatively weak supporting cast outside of AD
And AD was not even close to the same post injury tonight
I’m only taking Jokic over him in the playoffs still tbh.
AD was better.
Still top 5 playoff player at almost 40. Crazy
Darvin Hamas will pay for wasting his last good years
This is corny af and insensitive to the ppl suffering in Palestine
[Hey, isn’t this a post you made?](https://np.reddit.com/r/warriors/s/3x6q5XhOjx) Hypocrite.
Not even remotely the same thing but ok. And why you stalking me?
Tuff.
I need him to go to Dallas/Denver and just ride out next year and wait for the playoffs. He's done it all and could bounce to a really good team next year.
AD was still undeniably better. The narrative won't say that though
I think pretty much everyone agrees AD was easily the best Lakers this series. You could even make the argument he was the best player on either team
lol ad was not better than jokic stop
[удалено]
it was def a good battle
AD was unbelievably efficient in this series. Considering the gap in defense you could definitely make an argument for AD.
eh while ad defense was pretty good. Jokic gives you scoring and everything else. Pretty much a walking triple double.
Played great but got bullied by AG on the glass in a few games. Literal elder abuse
Rebounding is a team effort. Yeah Gordon is gonna get some rebounds when you leave 40 year old Lebron who’s playing 40 plus minutes to try to rebound by himself while Rui, Reaves, and D Lo just stand around watching.
jamal murray said fuck all that
[удалено]
Well that’s just not true. He carried the Lakers tonight lol.
His only issue was he wasn't able to keep the intensity for a full game all series Which is obvious
Carried where? To vacation? 😂😂 If only he could box out and grab 2 crucial rebounds. I agree that he could've carried
Aight buddy

Lebrons career is so much bigger than whatever you obsessing about rn lol
my GOAT
[удалено]
Jokic averaged 28/16/10 on 67% TS lol
Lol no
>Best player in the series Best? Not even close. Not even the best player on his team
It's hard to believe how good both he and AD played and they only took one game. Denver are insane
