Stephen A saying LeBron is an “asset” and not a liability after everything that’s happened shows he’s still under klutch. LeBron James has been a detriment to the team for years, if they trade him it will be a guaranteed championship.

No he isn’t, you’re a clown. You domt have to like him, but you can’t disrespect his game. Some of your favorite players probably not averaging 24 7 7 😂 just stop it man, yall ridiculous
@basketballblablabla
November 6, 2025 at 1:10 pm
No one talking about how this team is worse when Lebron comes back because then their defense will be trash again. This team is benefitting from their injuries cause they only have had 1 dude to hide at a time on defense rather than 3, who are all duplicative offensively so the offensive benefit isn’t going to be there
@Brian-is-the-goat-69
November 6, 2025 at 1:19 pm
🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦 he was literally in all defensive teams talks last year
@Battleray
November 6, 2025 at 1:10 pm
And nobody in Dallas is surprised
@Battleray
November 6, 2025 at 1:11 pm
Everyone’s acting surprised like Luka wasn’t this good in Dallas
@pkboolean
November 6, 2025 at 1:38 pm
He was not averaging 40 stop it, this is the best he’s been
@YaBoy-MH
November 6, 2025 at 2:03 pm
@pkboolean it’s a small sample size. Luka has had stretches like this before. I think @Battleray was just commenting on the ridiculous narratives Luka was getting last spring.
@gingervsginger
November 6, 2025 at 2:56 pm
@pkboolean he did. See you’re a part of this problem yourself
@drew-echoes

@pkboolean Cap..Luka has always been this way.
@NotAnyPheno
November 6, 2025 at 5:29 pm
He wasn’t. This is the best shape he has ever been in.
@teedee1167

He’s already off his Dallas pick 10 games into the season😂😂😂😂
@bondinho6114
November 6, 2025 at 1:20 pm
He said he was out of the Dallas train after 1 game 😂 when Wemby detroyed the Mavs

If the lakers lose he gonna go on the show the next day and say they trash

Dont hype them up. If we lose im blame everyone but the lakers

These man flip flop with no shame. Start of the season. My lakers vs the warriors. The narrative is “lakers are awful, will barely make the playoffs, poor team” now look at these joke men

Denver’s winning the chip the regular season means nothing for the playoffs they would’ve beat okc last year if they weren’t injured
@TomWellston
November 6, 2025 at 2:07 pm
Hypothetical speculation is silly.
@ryanpeet7157
November 6, 2025 at 2:11 pm
@TomWellston am I wrong?
@hero7523
November 6, 2025 at 2:58 pm
@ryanpeet7157yeah you wrong if it’s a hypothetical of course it’s wrong. OKC is easily say if j dub hand wasn’t torn he wouldn’t have played that bad and they would’ve beat them in 5

Skinny Luka is MVP if he plays enough, sadly Jokic isn’t winning enough
@cjsamazing420
November 6, 2025 at 2:17 pm
Bro needs to relax. They played 9 games. The fact we havent even seen the main three play is a problem. I see rockets being a tough team for them to beat. I also see nuggets whooping on them. Obviously okc would dog walk the lakers😂
@Dom2.0
November 6, 2025 at 3:48 pm
What happened last season again? Lol
@cosmoguarriellojr.430
November 6, 2025 at 2:52 pm
What other teams are there in California? Lakers, Kings, and Clippers, what year are any of them going to the finals. The Lakers need to trade LeBron, Bronny, Rui, Vandoo, Vincent, they need a point guard and another center.

17 and 8 is impressive for a #1? Paolo been averagin 25+ and 8 for the past two seasons
@nuetv3562
November 6, 2025 at 3:10 pm
He has LeBron and Luka on the team. Yes it’s impressive, that’s all he needs
@ShakataelBebesito
November 6, 2025 at 3:49 pm
Ayton shot over 55 paoloavsjooting horrible ayton gets less touches and he is unbelievable defender!!
@BleachBot
November 6, 2025 at 4:13 pm
@nuetv3562 Not impressive at all even before he had bron and Luka, bron hasn’t even played so this comment doesn’t make sense anyway
@BleachBot
November 6, 2025 at 4:20 pm
@ShakataelBebesitoLol he has 81% of his field goals assisted and doesn’t shoot any 3s while paolo has only 35% of his 2s assisted while also shooting 3s meaning paolo has to create far more of his shots that are harder to make so hes shooting great for not being carried by his team. Ayton is a good defender calling him unbelievable is a lie
@TEJANOTWENTY4SEVEN
November 6, 2025 at 3:17 pm
LeBron is a ball dominant player, so he’ll change the whole thing. If I’m LA, I get with LeBron; work out a trade to a team that fits him best, I don’t care what I get back, as long as it’s a contract on their last year.
@prettyboy3949

He will be back in Oklahoma by June
@Dom2.0
November 6, 2025 at 3:48 pm
Lakers 7-2 with 50 injuries is crazy tbh
@dahc0023
November 6, 2025 at 3:52 pm
If Bron just come in and average 15 5 and 8 with good defense, they winning the chip. He’s my goat but at 41 he does not need to prove to everyone he can still average 26 8 & 8 we know he can

Once LBJ 🐐returns, it’s over. Lakers winning it all. 🏆

Man Stephen is a band wagon. He always talk bout someone and hater. What sad bout this when Luka was in Dallas he never say nothing good but when Luka comes to la it’s a whole another story
