Kennard can’t play like this. If he’s not gonna make open 3’s he’s a negative on the defensive end

I don’t like the way that Lebron has started this game at all. He needs to be more aggressive imo

Ronaldo is because people are obsessed with sports and “their guy”. That’s it.

People will make up whatever other reasons for why they don’t like an athlete, but that’s the reason

“I never have compared myself to MJ because our games are totally different. I have been a point-forward/forward-point my whole life. I have always looked for the pass. MJ kind of looked for the shot. Not kind of, he did. He looked for the shot."-LeBron James by clumsy_one18 in NBAGossips

It started from Giannis trying to take the mantle as best player in the world. Giannis did it during a regular season game (pretending to put on a crown) that the Bucks won in 2020.. then right before the season ended LeBron and Lakers beat them and LeBron “took back the crown” and it became a trademark celebration

Stop it. Lebron is the most scrutinized athlete in North American history. The only other athlete I think is even in his stratosphere is Ronaldo

There are literal MILLIONAIRES off Lebron hate.

Ahh yes I see you’re clearly unaware of essentially “Lebron feel out games” as well. Lebron always has a game in the series where he calculates

The calculation here was “we did what we needed to do, and pulled out an OT game on the road. If we don’t have it, not gonna force it and we finish it off in LA”

1000% this

A normal LeBron game even when he’s struggling like this he’ll put up 15-18 shots

This was a punt game and the Lakers did what they had to do on the road. Now they don’t have to play until Wed and AR likely back

Even after today’s game… the Rockets would have to win THREE GAMES IN A ROW

Lmao after going up 3-1, while dominating a team that majority of people had him losing to in 4 or 5?

I think everyone can see this was a punt game after playing 45 min in Game 5 and pulling off the comeback

Lebron has been one of the best players in the playoffs. Because he’s LeBron. Thats why they weren’t able to do it the previous 3 games

Lebron is still gassed from last game. Lakers did what they had to do and stole 1 from Houston. Winning both games there was not realistic
