Heat & Lakers were in the play in last year and each made an incredible run to the playoffs

Lakers and Heat were the top.of the League 8n defense last year. Lakers defense is trash this year and they are only good at scoring in the paint.

lets be real. the man is not going to retire in the next 2 years thats for sure. hes putting up top 10 numbers as per usual still at age 40. i think physically he can do it till 45….it will come down to the mental aspect. if he wants to mentally endure another few full seasons when he really doesnt need to. but the man loves basketball and imo i think he will play till like 43

If the Lakers get into the Playoffs, they can make the WCF again. The Nuggets are the only thing stopping LeBron from winning another title.
OKC and Minnesota will not beat the Lakers in seven games.

Talking about the Lakers as if they are in 1st or 2nd place. This has gotten ridiculous

We’ve been saying this is Lebron last chance since 2018 if Lakers had perimeter defenders they’d be top team in league so this offseason couple right moves next year they can contend too

Been missing the best perimeter defender all year he’ll be back soon tho

If the Lakers somehow win it all, LeBron should retire immediately. The Lakers will need to recruit another superstar after LeBron retires.

His window is closing lol. This is his 21st season but it doesn’t matter because as long as Lebron is in the league, his window is never completely closed. If he’s still playing in year 26, his teams window will still be open.

I’ll tell you what if Bron play one more or two more season he will be the same player as this year or even better. He won’t get worse.

In a 7 game series with matchup changes, home game advantage, experience, size and multiple factors in play. The lakers are not your ideal first round. Especially to a younger squad
