This has nothing to do with LBJ the 13 The TEAM is the most important to make a run we know who the LBJ the 13 is

Dawg…youre on TV with SAS. You can’t use SAS’s catch phrases word for word bar for bar. Especially when using it like youre in these comment sections when replying to someone.
Stay off the weed was about athletes getting caught using it, not to tell someone they crazy for a take.
I already don’t like this dude. Get your own material b

Your third best player is never the most important. That’s why he’s the third best player. Because two other guys are more important.

Luka is the best player of those 3. But the most important player for this current laker team is Lebron. Lebron offers what the other two can’t offer, which is very good defense. Lebron is basically their best defensive center. Lebron can do what the other two can offer in the offense. If you lose either Luka or Reaves, one of those guys can take over the play making duty (though Luka is better offensively).

LeBron. He is more versatile than the other two and he plays defense.
He’s on the ball and off the ball

Well considering Luka is the best player on the team, it would have to be him. The problem is, the media is going to give him all the blame if they lose and give Lebron all the credit if they win
