If AD donโt make it back the Lakers ainโt going to win the Chip because the Clippers and Nets ainโt playing no games

Why is everybody acting like ad is out for the season and has a career ending injury! Yes out for 4 weeks and he has problems with his achilees wich van end badly if you dont rest him. Example for that 2019 kd but hes going to be back so why everybody acting like he isnt going to play anymore?!

The bench needs to step up, like how hard is it to create for others and knock down some shots. Why does LeBron have to do everything lol, MJ didn’t

@Lab Clinics AD led the Lakers in scoring and rebounding last year on top of being 2nd in DPOY voting, James didn’t do close to everything at all keep painting the false narratives though

All these clowns in the comments saying itโs fair continue to act like LeBron is 26, not 36. He may be playing at a high level at this age but he is not invincible. Max is 100% right that he doesnโt need to go all out right now. The lakers are still favorites and will make the playoffs. All he cares about is the playoffs, this is common knowledge.

No we donโt need playoffs Lebron now .. just keep doing what he usually which is pacing himself .. 5th or 6th seed would be fine but DONT go beast mode now

Idk he gets paid millions to win..if he can’t do it I think lakers need a refund. Anybody can win a ring in a pandemic with half a season and half the teams, with half the fatigue and half the challenges he didnt deserve that last ring

Well I think the Lakers without Anthony Davis could probably get to the conference finals but I donโt see them beating the Clippers the nets at full strength I can even seen them probably losing the Philadelphia I just think they need more scoring

Steven A sucks at debating. He just disagrees then talks about something random. And someone please tell him Shroderโs name.

Just keep doing what heโs been doing which is going out playing at a high level to the best of his ability each night. I think thatโs what the lakers need to expect from him while AD is out.

Watching the Lakers play this season you definitely see without AD they will struggle and without Lebron they won’t win the postseason.

Nice video guys and Stephen A is the right because Lebron can still go in that level he can still do do a lot of crazy shots and dunks and the the guy is 36 and he also needs to rest and take a break from the game a little bit because as a said Lebron is ageing but… Lebron is the king he can even play Mj so yeah so Lebron can do all of that work with or without Ad’s help but… i just want to say that Ad should go back better then ever and help Lebron and the teal win more games because the guys just lost to the wizards yeah so that’s they need Ad back healthy and better then ever : )
