Ppl forget that Bron was the only one advocating to draft Austin Reeves now look…. go back to the draft and do your homework.
@tomato2591
December 5, 2025 at 1:34 pm
Not draft but to sign him to a two way contract first which converted to a full one after
@akhubauproductions3981
December 5, 2025 at 1:46 pm
@tomato2591they used their draft picks for AD in trade… Its a reason why Reaves declined Detroits pick and went undrafted because bron wanted him on the Lakers.
@DramaTherapyHub
December 5, 2025 at 3:35 pm
That’s a straight up lie . Bron did not care about Austin Reaves
@akhubauproductions3981
December 5, 2025 at 4:07 pm
@DramaTherapyHub it’s literally articles about Bron seeing his potential at Oklahoma and why he was so hard on him his rookie year… your name is your name for a reason… u a drama queen

If rui missed that shot they would be killing bron!!
@cdknowledge
December 5, 2025 at 2:15 pm
It would have gone to OT and given Lebron the chance to get to his 10 pt mark.

Exactly!! It’s kinda crazy isn’t it
@MohamedAhmed-ms9eu
December 5, 2025 at 3:41 pm
They already critics LBJ because he let Kyrie take the final shot in 2016 finals although he made. “Jordan is the goat because he took every shot” 😂
@shade8810
December 5, 2025 at 6:29 pm
bron tried to get it to go ot because he can get his 10 points now he literally passed up an easy 2 for a 3 when 1 point wouldve won it….

The Lakers ceiling is not justified if they can’t beat OKC.
@frankiecomplex1447
December 5, 2025 at 1:28 pm
Bro no one has beat OKC if they do, they might as well be the champs. I’m not too worried about their ceiling right now. We’ll know once All Star break is over if they have a chance.
@suhaasvemuri7980
December 5, 2025 at 2:03 pm
Even the 2017 warriors would have a lot of trouble beating this year’s OKC team. They’re having possibly the greatest season in NBA history so far.
@Goatlikeitornot
December 5, 2025 at 2:09 pm
@suhaasvemuri7980 I’d say that OKC would beat them in 6-7, better bench and team construction. Curry and KD would have a hard time dealing with OKC’s perimeter defenders and OKC would probably crash them on boards.
@datsapaddlin
December 5, 2025 at 2:15 pm
Unless someone like Luka or Jokic goes crazy or injuries happen it’s gonna be hard for any team to beat OKC. They are on a historic run
@suhaasvemuri7980
December 5, 2025 at 2:50 pm
@Goatlikeitornotyou never know, cuz they had the best point differential of all time last season and still went to 7 with the pacers. The talent is there, they just don’t know how to step up like the warriors did.
@chowchowdeoro2885
December 5, 2025 at 1:22 pm
Instead of talking about AR15, they talk about a guy who is 0/5 from three and 4 out 17 from a field. I just cant wait for LA to win this years chip so LEBRON can take all the glory from luka at reeves. 🤣😂😅 just like what happen in miami at cavs. Great!
@frankiecomplex1447
December 5, 2025 at 1:31 pm
Bron still brings in more viewers. Whether he gets MVP or not, they will still mention him more, bc of legacy and GOAT debate. Until another star can bring views like him. You won’t stop hearing about him.
@chowchowdeoro2885
December 5, 2025 at 1:44 pm
@frankiecomplex1447dude what views??nba ratings is down after mj and kobe left. Dude lebron destroyed the nba. I dont watch the nba anymore because of his drama, flopping and his bs.

Lakers are about average in the league for defense and top 5 offense
@cjsamazing420
December 5, 2025 at 5:30 pm
@suh@suhaasvemuri7980 like below average on defense and they don’t have a top 5 offense. I don’t know what stats you’re looking at but here are mine. They’re not top 10 in rebounds, not top 10 in assists, not top 10 in pace, not top 10 in defense, not top 5 in offense.
@cjsamazing420
December 5, 2025 at 5:31 pm
@s@suhaasvemuri7980theyre 6th in offense btw.
@suhaasvemuri7980
December 5, 2025 at 6:53 pm
@cjsamazing420they’ve been playing rlly well defensively after lebon came back.

LeSteroids was absolute garbage last night and the only people who will say otherwise are people who didn’t watch the game because if you did watch the game there’s no arguing it.
17 shots 8 points, almost single handedly lost us the game, got rejected by Scottie Barnes on a weak a** fadeaway at the end of the game.
Never seen somebody who’s supposed to be a “superstar” HUNT SO DESPERATELY for 10 points like it’s actually pathetic to watch.
He takes 17 shots and as a result DominAyton only gets like 6 bc he gets no touches bc LeStatPad won’t pass him the ball and thinks he’s the 3rd option on this team when he’s not.
DominAyton is shooting at a 70%+ clip this season and can’t get the ball bc LeStatPad HAS to try and get closer to his 10 point mark everytime down the floor 💀💀. He almost took the MOST shots on the team last night.
Idgaf if Kobe was playing in a wheelchair he’s not having 8 points on 17 shots lol.
This is ridiculous the a** kissing the media is doing for this dude.
He’s embarrassing to watch rn.
$50,000,000 a year.
LeThief needs to retire. Lakers never wanted him in the first place this is Kobe town.
He’s like a plague that won’t subside.

Where were you when curry scored 1 point, or when Kobe went scoreless where were you? If you don’t enjoy basketball then don’t watch, you give off serious miserable person vibes
@vinniehuish3987
December 5, 2025 at 5:05 pm
@steven72971. Why are you bringing up Steph curry.
2. Kobe spent his entire career with the Lakers and gave them everything including loyalty AND took less money so we could have better teams.
Don’t ever compare LeTeamHop/LeRingChase to Kobe ever again.

So the Lakers r gonna beat either OKC or Denver? No shot

What did LeBron do the rest of the game. Without him Lakers would’ve won by about 12 points. Bronsexuals are delusional.

LeBron is top 1, and Jordan is top 2. Stephen-A got it wrong. It seems like Stephen-A leads off every comment on LeBron with “hey, you are not better than my hero Jordan”. Stop it, you know LeBron the GOAT! LOL
@Glubby277

Stephen A saying this cuz he afraid LeBrons gonna eat him
@basketballblablabla
December 5, 2025 at 3:55 pm
Jus a reminder that Lebron’s real steak (if you include playoff games) is much shorter than MJs streak. Also Bron tried really hard to score points in the fourth and could not

Lebron makes a great pass that leads to a wide open Game winner , still get hated on , yea im sure Jordan wouldnt ever last in this league, He would literaly go insane , having to read or hear what dumbahh haters think, how he would take things personal, good luck dealing with the hate this man Lebron gets , jordan would either crumble or legit do some crazy shii under this type of hate 😊

If I’m LA I package Austin reeves, whatever picks they have remaining and a few players for Freak. While his stock is high, and next year once LeBron is off the books you go get some pieces
