Luka is 24 years old now

[90sgoat]

If I was someone close to Luka, I'd tell him that being jealous, selfish and emotional is acceptable when you're a teen and early 20s, but once you're 25+, then people expect you to start behaving like a man and if you keep being emotional into your 20s, then look no further than DeMarcus Cousins, who at one point was an olympian and most hyped young center.

Is he still the very same luka that got compared to michael jordan during the 2020 disney bubble?

[Lebron23]

Lebron won his first MVP at 24.

Lebron won his first MVP at 24.

He had an extra year in the league though. I'd say he's achieved about as much as Bran did through his 5 years. Beating the Suns w/ that Game 7 performance to make the WCF is on par with Bran's '07 Finals run. Both guys also lost an All-Star/All-NBA-level player for nothing in FA.

Great player but needs to be more professional. His conditioning needs to improve and he needs to stop whining to the refs leaving the rest of the team trying to play transition defense without him.

Luka's idol is the most emotional meltdown machine ever - Lebron James..

Everyone saw his epic tantrum on the missed call against Tatum earlier this year - no one in history melted down like that

and Lebron also melted down in the 2010 Playoffs, 2011 Finals or 2018 Finals, or the cramps and meltdown in 2014 Finals with a super-team.. Or we all remember his eMOtional meltdown and quit-job over JR's blunder

That's why no one fears Lebron btw - it's clear that he isn't that alpha and prone to mental breakdown/defeat.. This is in addition to his lack of expert jumpshooting skill and lesser need for double-team (coach emasculating defender)

I blame Cuban and his staff.

They need to build around him a defense as well as a slasher and 2 outsider dagger shooters.
He is an all-star / super star / but like the Jordan eraly era .. needs a team to help him get to the promised land. If Kyrie stays on . that would be a start.

Maybe they could swing a deal to get Adam's from Grizz for a rock defense in the middle.

They actually had the team for him last year with Brunson and Dinwiddie and some good defense from DFS.

The only thing they needed to do was resign Brunson and get a better rim running and rebounding center like Dwight Powell.

Instead they signed Javale, then didn't play him and let Brunson go.

Lebron won his first MVP at 24.

Luka made it further in the Playoff with a weak cast than Lebron ever could at the same age

LeBron made the Finals at 22

A player that only plays one way can never be the GOAT.

LeBron made the Finals at 22

Comparing the weak east to Luka's strong West competition?

[3ba11]

LeBron made the Finals at 22


Finals appearances are conference-dependant - Lebron's record against the West is horrific



Stats at 22 vs Spurs

Amare vs 05' Spurs...... 37 on 55%
Lebron vs 07 Spurs...... 22 on 36%


Magic won fmvp at 20, while 23-year old Jordan broke playoff scoring record (63) and averaged 44 on 50% against the Celtics and their #1 defense.

So Lebron is overrated - he was either lottery, locked up or upset for every season from 2004-2011 and also 2019 and 2021 and 2022

[8Ball]

Luka made it further in the Playoff with a weak cast than Lebron ever could at the same age

LeBron made his first finals at 22 with a garbage cast of players.


Name me one other player on that 2007 team that you remember.

[Patrick Chewing]

Lebron won his first MVP at 24.

No one cares.
