I think Max is right, there is a tendency to blame LeBron’s teamates and that will happen again.
However this time I think the setting is differen as to me AD is on a similar position to LeBron in 2011 with Wade: AD is the best player but is still not his team and he will be sort of passive.

I’m just waiting for the lakers to breeze past the first round and for nobody to give AD credit. It’s the pattern that’s formed on Lebron teams as you said

LeBron has to win a ring this year otherwise the goat conversation is done…

Ralf Havertz I know it won’t happen but imagine if he losses in the first round like seriously imagine how that’s going to ruin his reputation

Lebron needs to take the role D Wade did when James came to Miami. As great as James is, he’s 35. Give the reigns to the younger superstar in AD and support him
BIG DADDY

for sure, bron has to teach AD how to win i feel like if they win this year they going back to back

AD is the go-to-guy for the Lakers. If they won’t reach the Finals, it’ll be a disappointed year and AD’s contract will expire after the Playoffs. Imagine how much hate he’d get if he demand a trade after being a disappointment in the Playoffs, leaving LeBron.

Lbj makes it obvious he puts way too much on a.d. lbj is a bad leader. And it’s always been obvious. ????
Mat O'laughlin
August 17, 2020 at 7:24 pm
@Ayuub Nur neither. He is told what to say and do is obvious. You need to look into his situation with China. Lbj is the biggest sellout of them all. And for you people to support him is horrible
. Y’all need to wake up!
Ayuub Nur
August 17, 2020 at 7:33 pm
Mat O’laughlin he ain’t a sellout though but he does make sellout crowds lol
Mat O'laughlin
August 17, 2020 at 7:38 pm
@Ayuub Nur ???????????????????????????????????????????????????? he sure was quite when the people of China all about freedom waving the flag and everything. Other players spoke up. Not flop king James. Keep being a sheep to that fool. He’s nothing . Can’t make clutch free throws and people call him the goat. Not in the 50 . 40. 90. Club and gets called the goat. Y’all sheep! Go head.. bahh for me. Be a Good little sheep.
Ayuub Nur
August 17, 2020 at 7:47 pm
Mat O’laughlin bruh MJ wasn’t in the 50 40 90 club either neither was Kobe Kareem Magic Shaq and all the players that are in the Goat discussion. I respected everything you said until you brought up the 50 40 90 stuff that’s BS so many other all time greats don’t accomplish that either
Ayuub Nur
August 17, 2020 at 7:48 pm
Mat O’laughlin and you know flopping is part of the game right? Nearly every superstar has flopped once before and you know that
Lance Potier
August 17, 2020 at 1:04 pm
I swear these analysts and people who never play the game swear they know everything. Then. Get offended when you tell em they’ve never hoop lol Vince is absolutely right about AD having to be more aggressive to another notch in the playoffs

Stephen A is wrong about Kawhi with his last statement. The Spurs gave all the responsibility to Kawhi the series he got hurt against the Warriors. Kawhi was doing great until he got intentionally injured.

Max is right. You just gotta be kidding me if you are saying someone is the best guy in a team but he is not responsible for what is gonna happen. That’s beyond stupidity. You win with him, you lose with him. That’s it.
Ayuub Nur
August 17, 2020 at 4:59 pm
I think that LBJ should take the responsibility that Wade did in Miami when he came. He’s 35 he is not getting any younger nor better. LBJ should however still should be what he was in the regular season and score 20 plus and setting up his teammates for easy shots like he did all year

When has LeExcuses/ LeBlame ever take responsibility?
Ayuub Nur
August 17, 2020 at 6:11 pm
Niko Gambino but really LBJ does take blame on what he does. Check an interview in the 2016 finals he says he takes the blame of Kyrie scoring 10 points in a 30 point loss and says he take the blame the they come back down 3-1

Ayuub Nur yeah well its not gonna happen. Anyway Utah is a perfect scenario for him, they are just unlucky to be missing two really god players. Nuggets in 5! And about the Lakers we will see, who knows this situation is weird and it’s anyone’s game
Ayuub Nur
