@lockerroomla Went to the NBA finals you’re a damn fool

I can definitely see why Luka wanted LeBron gone. Imagine getting outplayed by a 41 year old and the only way you can trick the fans into believing you are better is by jacking up the most shots in the league. No way that dude is serious about winning. Nico was right about him.

@STFLIckUp Walker Kessler?? You forget bout him??? And LeBron let himself walk

Rob Pelinka "let's let LeBron James and Rui Hachimura walk to sign Ziaire Williams and Matisse Thybulle" Lakers fans "oh let Rob cook"

@ne10uz @LegionHoops Majority of 90s player were playing in 2003,2004, 2005. LeBron was destroying them as a baby

@LegionHoops Rodman is totally right. LeBron would absolutely collapse under 90s physical defense. He has had it easy playing in a soft, non-contact era.

Dennis Rodman says LeBron is probably the easiest guy he'd ever guard in his life: “Only thing he has on me is his size, hes 6'10, I’m 6'6 but that don't mean anything. I’ll make him go left all day long. I’ll make him shoot that damn jumpshot which ain't worth a sh*t.” (via @LA_SportsReport)

@AJNIntel @creativeburne He’s worth hundreds of millions. Should I provide you pictures of fat, old rich men and their very attractive much younger girlfriends and wives??

@creativeburne I find it hard to believe that women hear this guy talk & then find him irresistible...or even attractive.

Stephen A. Smith says he will never be married because he couldn't be faithful and didn't know how to act Host: "If you know so much about marriage then why have you never been married?" Stephen: "Because I didn't know how to act" Host: "is it your fault?" Stephen: "Totally my fault and It's not anybody's fault but mine...I was on the road over 200 days out of the year. I'm not going to be faithful being on the road 200 days out of the year" "This is the part that men don't reveal that much but I will do it is that when you get older you don't need it anymore so you don't chase. That's entirely different from when it's handed to you on a silver platter. It doesn't mean you can't say no. It means it's harder"

@VicTenetta @themouthmatusow You obviously have zero Idea what solvers can do. Meta glasses in real time can show you what decision you need to make in the moment

@themouthmatusow I could agree with banning face coverings, glasses, phones at table, etc., but what is the mechanism for cheating by recording your field of vision? XRay glasses, obviously banned! I'd want to see the evidence these can be used to cheat vs just self review and training though.

If you don’t think these are being used in poker tournaments then you’re just dumb and naive! We need to ban all glasses and face coverings before it’s too late! I never felt cheated in ant poker tournament until 1 this year and I know I was right! #fixit

@KillaKreww You mean your dads home, your dads car, your dads pool???

Stephen A. Smith was HEART-BROKEN after his daughter Samantha told him that she won’t let him live in her house when he’s older & she plans to put him in a Nursing Home instead 😭💔 “In my house?? With my kids? And my car? And my husband & my pool? In my guest room?” “I’m just your Dad. The one that made it all possible.” “I would love you from a distance Dad. You know I love you from a distance.” 🤣

@ChrisFedor @___fazo What would you suggest lakers do, give him 50 million and just not sign anyone else and sell their future. This is so dumb

LeBron is 41. He is in the twilight of a remarkable career. And, yet, he has single-handedly paused the NBA. No one else has that power. No one else has that influence. The league is his until he decides otherwise. It’s lunacy the Lakers failed to treat him with that reverence

@BronInSeven 38 ppg is a regression. Sign me up

notice how in the lakers clips he lost his burst to get to the paint and settled for 3s enjoy regression laker fans he peaked already

@LakeShowLukaaa That would’ve been trash. And that team ends up like the current clippers.

I will go to my grave believing that had LeBron not come to the Lakers, they would have still ended up with the duo of Kawhi and Paul George. They only went to the Clippers because they didn’t want to play with LeBron Plus LAL would have still had Zo, Hart, Kuz, Zubac & picks👀

@shaundeeb Perfect example of how POY is a bs award. The literal pt of playing is that you make money. The scale should include pts for how much you are up in total profit. Based on this you’re making less than McDonald’s manager

Was on fence to even post this but since people seem to want to question my results so bad yes I was profitable yes I was up millions in skalansy bucks at one point and yes I will keep going my hardest every year for whatever my goal is that year

@KenHeLive The lakers average age is 23, what you mean younger talent? Lololol

Adding Kessler to last years team was the way to move the needle cause you should always go for it when you have a tier 1 guy in his late 20’s..but they chose to treat Bron&Smart like they were expendable so good luck playing the long game vs teams that have better young talent..

@SportsWithJay0 B/c the lakers didn’t want to pay LeBron 50+ million for someone who 42 years old and very likely will retire very soon, makes them the bad guy? This is just awful take. If this was lebron at 37 I hear you. But not now.

Demarcus Cousins on the Lebron James Free Agency decision: "If Bron goes to Philly or Minnesota it'll get interesting. But honestly, I don't like how he was treated in LA. We're in the Era now where you can't speak up on his behalf. They'll say we're glazing or paid by Klutch. We're kind of getting to a point where our Legends aren't going out gracefully like they should. From Carmelo, to how CP3 was handled. Watching how the Lakers acted like Lebron isn't Lebron. Even Kevin Durant. So I just want him to go somewhere where he's appreciated and gets the flowers he deserves. - @boogiecousins Strong words from Boogie

@shaundeeb @MrSmith1414 The ME is why you probably started playing poker anyways. So no, you’re wrong it’s the grandest most coveted prize in all of poker. Same as someone saying FedEx player of the year is more valuable than the masters.

@MrSmith1414 The one no one else has done

It’s really amazing to see some responses on here surprised by my mental state… that mental state is why I’m in contention every poy race since 2017 no tourney is too big no tourney is too small treat it like pokemon gotta play em all But in all seriousness poker is a long term game you realize equity sometimes other times end up with 0% equity the next tourney or hand has nothing to do with it stop getting emotionally attached to anything while at the table that you cant control

@23Cooked Anyone think the Mavs had a chance before Luka took them to the finals?? And what does your definition of chance even mean. Literally saw the spurs get the doors blown off them in the finals. They have a “chance” come on.

You can tell Luka never won shit if he thinks this roster has a chance, finna feel bad how free that hate watch finna be in April

@C_A_R_L_A_M_A_R He is in nba shape. He’s literally cooking people Just b/c you don’t look like you are some underwear model dosent mean you’re not in shape

Austin Reaves just not gonna get in modern NBA shape?? Luka starving himself doing two-a-days and it willed the Lakers to a 3 seed before he went down averaging 38ppg…

@FastbreakHoops5 Only one that really should trip you up are Prince, Reed and boozer. Everyone else were at one pt mega stars

If you can't name everyone in this photo, you don't really know basketball 🤷‍♂️

@PlayoffDude Duren showed who he was in the playoffs this past series. He was benched. All I need to know

Do you guys think the Lakers made the right decision choosing Walker Kessler over Jalen Duren? Ngl, I was split 50-50 between them before the Lakers landed Kessler.

@legoatfan32 If kobe never took a shot, he would be considered one of the greatest defenders of all time. His offense overshadowed the insane defensive abilities he had. Just listen to how he analyzes and studies the game. He knew how to defend you with his body and his mind.

If Kobe’s one of the first people you think of when defense is mentioned you’re probably not going to be a good defender

@CanWeTalkLakers He looks like he’s going to be the rookie of the year. Did Luka just get a superstar on a rookie deal???

Carr looks like a Top 5 pick

@CantBeatAudel Exactly makes no sense. It seems like rich paul screwed this all up. He asked for max dollars lakers said no. And then found out there is no max market for bron at this stage in his career

Obviously it’s Windhorst talking but if Bron legit takes a paycut (a vet minimum at that) to help a team win a championship why didn’t he ever do that w/ the Lakers? I don’t want to hear the Rob Pelinka excuse either.
