Lebron is embarrassing himself

[Hey Yo]

Is he playing his way into shape? The Suns performance was super embarrassing. He either needs to play hard for 25mpg or simply sit.

Right now Lebron looks like Ben Simmons without the defense.

If Lebron can't play like a top 25 player in the league, then he should retire. No one would even care if Lebron/the Lakers lucked into a ring playing like a 5th option...

Dumb

[Full Court]

Wizards Jordan was so much better than current Lebron it's not even funny.

[Manny98]

He's been solid so far pretty sure the Lakers are 4-1 in games he's played

[warriorfan]

Meh, its still early. He's coming off a summer of injury rather than training and he hasn't really come out of the gates strong on the back 9 of his career either. Usually takes him some time to ramp up and round into form. And honestly alot of people have been clamoring for him to let Luka take the lead, hes doing that. They said he was going to ruin the roll Reaves is on, he hasn't. If hes not giving more by the later stages of the season, it is what it is. But so far this is a season unlike any other in his basketball life id imagine.

Simpin ain’t ez

What happened? The meth ain't methin anymore? Is that why youre posting? Anybody watching just to watch and not in tears can see lots of common sense observations in this situation. Meth heads cant. I get it.

Lebron hasn't been close to solid, are you serious?

15/4/7 on 52.9 TS% while playing 32mpg is trash bro.

He's rocking a 14.5 PER and a NEGATIVE BPM.

He probably hasn't had a 5 game stretch this bad since his rookie year way back in 2003.

I've been saying he just needs to retire and not go out as a washed has been like so many great players before.

I do think he can pick up his individual play, but the Lakers trying to make him 3rd or 4th option is completely retarded and doesn't help Lebron or the team so...

[StrongLurk]

Been saying it since the end of last year. Bro should've retired in the offseason.

It's clear what was going to happen with Luka coming to the team, Reaves being younger/cheaper, and new management. Lebron is being completely pushed out and he was to egotistical to realize it.

Well you might be right the more im seeing. Im trying to give him the benefit of doubt because he cant possibly have his legs under him yet. Probably the longest stretch of not training in his life this summer and at the wrong age for that lol.

LeEmbarrassment continues

[coin24]

Surely this is the final season man this is just embarrassing now.. the team is much better without him.
Wrap it up enjoy your retirement damn

[Phoenix]

I think he will play better as he gets his legs under him, but last year was his last all-nba year. Luka has completely taken over and they're not gonna sacrifice how well Reaves has been playing to give him more touches. I was thinking maybe he would do like 22/7/6 but I'm not even sure about that now( points-wise, anyway)...

I knew he was going to have a terrible year once he was injured before the season and missed the first month. That put him in the worst position that he's ever been in physically since he didn't do anything in the offseason too. It got worse when Luka/AR dominated because then there was risk of Lebron checking out mentally too.

He SHOULD get better as the season goes on, because he simply can't play much worse. But his best month of play still might just look like 19/6/7...which is still far beneath Lebron's brand.

He is currently washed all around. Frankly he should've retired after the 2024 Olympics...

That statline is about where I think he will end up as well, on reduced TS% from what we've come to expect. And really, with Luka and Reaves good for 60-65ppg by themselves, that's really all they need from him. At this point he should be playing more like a super Draymond, put most of his energy on defense and be, as 3ball likes to call it, bird-fed offensively.

you guys don't get it - he's WASHED - his drop-off is more severe because he's a bigger guy that still relied on speed... if the lakers play him more than twenty minutes, they lose to any good team.. you'll see.. any game where he plays 30 minutes or whatever against a real team - the Lakers will get their doors blown off.. Lebron is atrocious and it exposes his lack of IQ or knowledge of playing off-ball.. He just stands there like a kindergartener - i bet that's the last time he didn't have the ball in his hands and wasn't the primary ballhandler for his team.. I've honestly never seen worse basketball from a star player.. I never thought I'd say this, but Lebron is even worse than Portland Pippen.. That's pretty horrible - again, the worst basketball from a star player EVER - he's the worst ever

What about my comment led you to believe I think otherwise? Worse stats, super Draymond, bird-fed. That wasn't expressed that way as a compliment.
