They will never admit that LeBron tried to sabotage them. First, it was this fake injury he’s nursing. He will start his LeDonna tactics when he gets back because he won’t accept a complementary role. He will say all the right things but use his passive-aggressive nonsense to cause a mutiny. If they ever end up winning it all, LeBron will use it as his victory GOAT tour to proclaim himself the best Laker and overall player of all-time because he matched Kobe, Kareem, and Magic’s ring count.

This is a good example of how misleading stats are. Everybody who didn’t see the Blazer game but read the boxscore raved about him. Even NBA Today was raving about him. However, he got outplayed. He didn’t win his match-up with Clingan, he lost it. Don’t believe it, watch the game.

JJ Reddick is not the right coach for the Lakers it’s LeBron who wanted him there hence the Podcast,,,,uhm whatever happened to those that blamed Bron for Lakers hiring JJ๐ haters very quiet

Stephen a donโt be watching basketball. Ayton literally averages about 17/10 for his career. You canโt believe heโs averaging 17/8? ๐

I’m not surprised about DA thus far. Look what jersey he has on. That says enough in itself. He knows what’s up.

As a laker fan, been an awesome start. Long season ahead. Hopefully Bron, Ar, Vincent and Maxi will get healthy soon. Iโm sure the media will switch up and say negative stuff around the middle of the year.

Steven A who said he didn’t care about no European kid who won MVP, he’d pick Ayton 1st without hesitation ๐
Now suprised Ayton could do 17-8, bro went to the finals as the key piece, avg the same for career

Don’t forget the importance of Smart and the influence he’s had on the team defensively. He’s brought a different edge to this squad and I’m hoping he stay’s healthy cause I think he’s gonna be integral to this team’s success.

Also, I’m not all that surprised with this new version of Ayton. Contract year and a chance to redeem your career with THE premiere franchise in all of sports….can be motivating.
