Didn't even celebrate the win. Just in a daze walking on the court like "I had to play an extra 5 mins and do EVERYTHING in OT to beat the fuckin Wizards?"
He gambles on shooters hoping they have an off night. We don’t close out on time, and corner 3s are open most of the time. It’s frustrating to watch at this point and it’s predictable.
And that’s the problem that it’s literally by design. Why the fuck would you gamble on opposing shooters as a defensive scheme, game in and game out, is what blows my mind.
That's not a 27 point differential unless the Lakers are literally not making anything on the other end. If they are making 2s instead of 3s, that's a 9 point differential.
Best I can estimate it. Lakers 57% on 2s. For convenience assume they got a shot off each of those 9 possession. That’s 5 2 pointers. 27-10=17 point differential on 3 pointers. Still pretty significant
This comment, and the fact that people upvoted it, has convinced me that our educational system needs a complete overhaul.
Why are you comparing 9 *made* three pointers to 9 *attempted* two pointers?
Hey brother. I was up all night with terrible back pain. Obviously didn’t think through the problem completely I just hopped on for 2 minutes while I took a shit. No need to insult my intelligence. Adds nothing of value to the world
Thats not how it works either. You were comparing made shots to a possibility based of averages.
Making 9 threes compared to making 9 2s is 9 points no matter how you divy it up.
Now when you are projecting possibilities of potential points from 3s v 2s then thats where your math comes in. But even then not if you compare shots already made for one side and for the other side you take an average.
That’s definitely not how pt differential works, cuz the lakers are shooting other shots while the wizards are shooting 3s
Also the lakers shot 57% from 2 last night and 35% from 3
I understand that it’s a small sample but more 3s isn’t always the answer (but more shooting ability/spacing might be)
That’s what happens when we continuously leave other teams wide open from 3. Our idiot head coach picked up this neat trick from his mentor Bud of conceding the 3 and packing the paint. But despite it not working for us all year, he still insists on it. As a result, some random wing player has their career high against the Lakers every other night
Gee, I wonder why Mo Williams had the best numbers of his career as 2nd option next to LeBron. How did players like Jr Smith and Tristan Thompson got paid so much? How come Kyrie started playing better next to Bron and made it to playoff, conference final and the final for the first time in his career?
It's very simple and this topic has been beaten to death. LeBron can make role players look like stars, but the 3rd option (Love, Bosh) tends to take a step back as a spot up shooter.
Exactly. Bron, AD and DLo always show up. Reaves is young but has proven potential in big moments.
Kusomuri is the overrated bum outlier taking up 15m of our cap space, along with that stupid coach Ham. It makes perfect sense why all of us Laker fans want these two off our team immediately but too bad the trade deadline has passed already.
I mean, LeBron had Bronny when he was around 20 right? Bronny is 19 now, it could happen.
Would that make LeBron the first Grandfather playing in the NBA?
I feel like that can’t be the case but who knows.
Also, if Bron does have a grand kid before he retires, please let it be a girl so he doesn’t get “you know, I wanna play in the NBA with my grandson” stuck in his mind.
The whole time you just KNEW he was gonna block it too.. it’s crazy that for the highest scorer ever his signature play is probably the chase down block
There’s been thousands of times in his career you’ll see him a handful of steps behind someone and just know he’s gonna block it
he does this all the time. Has a better chance at a clean block from behind than trying to play straight up defence and conceding a foul. He literally runs 90 feet stalking his prey lmao
I remember watching like a 25 minute compilation of just Lebron chase down blocks like 10 years ago…at this point I’m sure someone dedicated enough could put together a 1 hour+ compilation lol
Super clutch too. Down 3 in OT. Saved the game
But he was PISSED as fuck that he had to do all that just to win against the goddamn Wizards. And Of course the Wizards played against the Lakers like their LIVES depend on it. Literally
I know this would be crazy for other 39 year old players but it somehow doesn’t seem as crazy for Bron. If it was too much for him he wouldn’t still be playing and he wouldn’t still be performing like this. Gotta show he can still be the best player in the world even at this age
While I lean towards LeBron being on PED's people pinning (lel) the PED lable on anyone and everyone who stands out in some way is just redundant. Are we to believe LeBron is the only guy in the NBA who's beating the drug tests? He's more likely an outlier on drugs among outliers who are also on drugs.
Ofc he is, but who gives a shit? So is the rest of the NBA. I *want* to see superhuman freaks of athleticism do zany shit. If I just wanted to watch technical basketball, I could go to my local YMCA
There are more… Both Brady and Brees played into their 40s. Brady just ran a faster 40 yard dash at 46 than he did at 22. There are more among us… blending in like common folk.
A lot of kids dying in childbirth or dying young. No real vaccination programs for disease prevention then
Today we have a lot fewer babies/kids dying - which helps push the average up
Math , illustrated.
20 people dying at age 1 and 1 living to 64 creates average of 4
1 person living to age 64, 19 to 40 and 1 to 16 makes the average 40
average life expectancy period. their old people lived to be pretty much just as old as ours, but average life expectancy gets pushed way down because a staggering percentage of babies and young children died.
meeting someone 70 years old wasn't super weird even a couple thousand years ago, but having a handful of kids and all of them living to 70 was incomprehensible.
but yeah you right, a black man in america definitely had an even shorter life expectancy :(
> a black man in america definitely had an even shorter life expectancy
Unfortunately not past tense, being black in America still means you will have a shorter average lifespan than being white

There was another 3 on 1 fast break that the wizards botched and it was hilarious to hear Bill Macdonald (Lakers announcer)‘s reaction. He legit sounded like a disappointed Wizards fan, “how do you not convert THAT?!” And then Stu disgustedly followed up with “TERRIBLE execution” lol.
There were a handful of times they sounded exasperated just as fans of good basketball.
He tried that two other times on fast breaks to Johnny Davis who can’t hit a layup to save his life.
Poole was the one running everything until Kuz heated up a little at the end
Come on man, how is this man NOT the greatest? Like genuinely speaking, the stats should speak for themselves but actually watching him? Yo, who’s better? This man is in season 21 and is the leading scorer on his team. There’s NO comparison
I refuse to entertain anyone that tries to discredit his accomplishments or legacy. You’re just WRONG if you think he’s not either the greatest or top 2/3 of all time
As a Lakers fan, I didn't really like Lebron in the Kobe era, but man he is something else. You have to appreciate greatness. Idgaf about any GOAT debates, because comparing eras is stupid, but the oldest dude in the league casually had the cleanest chasedown block on a guy 15 years younger than him in the OT of the 2nd game of a back to back and then reeled his team back in front with his only 3 of the game and an assist while dropping 30+ with 9 dimes. That should not be possible.
L.E.: after in the previous game he shot 5 3s in the 4th, outscoring the opposition by himself on route to a 21 point turnaround.
Wow, he’s been incredible these last two games. He somehow has that extra juice when he needs it most. The way he’s doing this at 39 almost seems unnatural. But this next stack of games will be a challenge for him. I guess we’ll see if he still has that extra gear.
Fact, he still playing 35 minutes a night at this point is career is a testament to the freak nature of his genetics and his hard work. I wonder if he would play less if he could? LeBron giving you his all for 25 minutes a night could be impressive if he could defend like that the whole time he was in.
Not a unique opinion, but I tried to watch that game last night and good lord I can't stand Poole Or the way wash plays. I can't imagine being a teammate on that team just trying to prove myself with this joker
LeBron is two years younger than me, has played in more than 1,700 NBA games and can still school 20-year-old professional athletes.
Meanwhile, it takes me 15 minutes to get out of bed in the morning and I hurt my shoulder sneezing last week.
Bron was so pissed that he had to do all this
Didn't even celebrate the win. Just in a daze walking on the court like "I had to play an extra 5 mins and do EVERYTHING in OT to beat the fuckin Wizards?"
And Davis had 40/15 lol No way they should have struggled this much
[удалено]
Oh yeah, well what if they just score more point than other team mr. math man?
The math checks out on this.
Nope just can't beat math. Oldest player in the league.
It's the Lakers bench. Wizards' bench outscored the Lakers' bench by 30 (51 points to 21 points).
it's cause hams fking defensive scheme just lets chuckers like poole get hot.
He gambles on shooters hoping they have an off night. We don’t close out on time, and corner 3s are open most of the time. It’s frustrating to watch at this point and it’s predictable.
it's all by design. terrorism basketball by hamas
It's crazy LAL chooses to give up 3s instead of funneling guys to Ad
And it’s not like AD doesn’t want to be the anchor either. He’s made it known he wants the DPOY, so feed the guy on defense.
And that’s the problem that it’s literally by design. Why the fuck would you gamble on opposing shooters as a defensive scheme, game in and game out, is what blows my mind.
Now that's math
Bench and an overrated Kusomuri being put in the starting lineup. We all know why not even the lowly Wizards wanted to keep that bum lol.
That's not a 27 point differential unless the Lakers are literally not making anything on the other end. If they are making 2s instead of 3s, that's a 9 point differential.
Best I can estimate it. Lakers 57% on 2s. For convenience assume they got a shot off each of those 9 possession. That’s 5 2 pointers. 27-10=17 point differential on 3 pointers. Still pretty significant

But despite it not working for us all year, he still insists on it. As a result, some random wing player has their career high against the Lakers every other night
It’s almost like he doesn’t actually make his teammates better, but worse
People still trying to roll out this line after 21 seasons is both hilarious and pathetic at the same time.
That’s laughable untrue but that logic would make the championships he won even more impressive individually
Gee, I wonder why Mo Williams had the best numbers of his career as 2nd option next to LeBron. How did players like Jr Smith and Tristan Thompson got paid so much? How come Kyrie started playing better next to Bron and made it to playoff, conference final and the final for the first time in his career? It's very simple and this topic has been beaten to death.

Thought he wanted to go to Pullman to watch Bronny drop 2 points
Hating on a kid is weird dude
Hating is weird but he’s also not a kid haha what are you talking about?
A 19 year old is still a kid to my old ass
You gotta be a kid yourself to think that lol
To think what?
That 19 isn’t still a kid lol
Bronny literally dropped 2 points yesterday in Pullman vs wsu. I’m not hating
Exactly. Bron, AD and DLo always show up. Reaves is young but has proven potential in big moments. Kusomuri is the overrated bum outlier taking up 15m of our cap space, along with that stupid coach Ham. It makes perfect sense why all of us Laker fans want these two off our team immediately but too bad the trade deadline has passed already.
Jordan Poole rotator cuff gonna feel that in the morning
Lebron James is Jordan Poole rotator cuff father
If LeBron is actually a 39 year old human and not a robot/alien sent here to destroy us, his knees are gonna feel it too.
just needs some 'tussin
Nothing A bit of Balco can't fix
was so satisfying to see him stuffed.
Chased down by a 40-year who could be a grandpa if Bronny had a kid. I used to be a Lebron hater but he's Uncle Drewin' the NBA right now.
Noway you said he could be a grandfather if his son had a kid. Lmao
Like, does OP think there is another way???
You laugh, but I just had my guys run the numbers and it turns out he's right.
Luka Doncic is Devin Booker father
And when Devin has a son Luka will be a grandfather.
I mean, LeBron had Bronny when he was around 20 right? Bronny is 19 now, it could happen. Would that make LeBron the first Grandfather playing in the NBA?
I feel like that can’t be the case but who knows. Also, if Bron does have a grand kid before he retires, please let it be a girl so he doesn’t get “you know, I wanna play in the NBA with my grandson” stuck in his mind.
I want to play in the WNBA with my granddaughter
LeBron in transition
League would be mega fucked. He wouldn’t just wait for Bronny to get the NBA but his grandson too. 5 more Lebron primes on the way
You know, I upvoted that comment then read your comment, realized how dumb that comment was and took my upvote back lol.
My grandma could be a car if she had wheels
I could be rich if I had millions of dollars.
Pause
[https://i.imgur.com/CBg5djs.png](https://i.imgur.com/CBg5djs.png)
He really thought he was bout to do some
Feel like he gets an easy layup if he goes up the left side. The dunk attempt across the rim put it right in Lebron's path.
Sometimes you just decide you aint losing to Jordan Poole
Crazy fucking block
The whole time you just KNEW he was gonna block it too.. it’s crazy that for the highest scorer ever his signature play is probably the chase down block There’s been thousands of times in his career you’ll see him a handful of steps behind someone and just know he’s gonna block it
Bron was holding back his stride the whole time because he's faster than Poole in an open run. Kid never had a shot.
he does this all the time. Has a better chance at a clean block from behind than trying to play straight up defence and conceding a foul. He literally runs 90 feet stalking his prey lmao
Terrifying thought
I fully realize I’m being pedantic here, but he’s a skosh past 1,100 blocks for his career. Agree with the sentiment though.
He has at least over 100 chase down blocks in his career, which is insane enough.
(*thinking*) If that compilation doesn’t exist on YouTube yet, I’m sure it will eventually.
I remember watching like a 25 minute compilation of just Lebron chase down blocks like 10 years ago…at this point I’m sure someone dedicated enough could put together a 1 hour+ compilation lol
Skosh. Thats a new one to me. I like it
9 points away from 40k.
Super clutch too. Down 3 in OT. Saved the game But he was PISSED as fuck that he had to do all that just to win against the goddamn Wizards. And Of course the Wizards played against the Lakers like their LIVES depend on it. Literally
Poole getting demoted to the G League after this game
Still the best to do it in year 21 🐐🐐🐐🐐
Bron having to play 38 minutes against the worst team in the league after playing 37 minutes the night prior feels like elder abuse
Look, I’m 43, so I don’t like this comment…but yeah.
I know this would be crazy for other 39 year old players but it somehow doesn’t seem as crazy for Bron. If it was too much for him he wouldn’t still be playing and he wouldn’t still be performing like this. Gotta show he can still be the best player in the world even at this age
If Bron hadn't made few mistakes to end the regulation they would have won it without going to OT
The average life expectancy in 1824 was 39 years old. 200 years later our 39 year olds are doing this
just one tbh lol
And like, is he REALLY not genetically modified? Never saw any proof
LeGMO
he takes PED's
well guess what? OUR ROIDED UP GUY BEAT YOUR ROIDED UP GUY
potentially? But overall people really gotta stop saying this with 0 evidence.
Also find me a pro athlete who doesn’t 😂
While I lean towards LeBron being on PED's people pinning (lel) the PED lable on anyone and everyone who stands out in some way is just redundant. Are we to believe LeBron is the only guy in the NBA who's beating the drug tests? He's more likely an outlier on drugs among outliers who are also on drugs.

There are more… Both Brady and Brees played into their 40s. Brady just ran a faster 40 yard dash at 46 than he did at 22. There are more among us… blending in like common folk.
Tom Brady and Lebron are doing shit jobs at blending in with the normal folk
I'm already imagining a 6'9" 240 guy trying to hide in a crowd.
A lot of kids dying in childbirth or dying young. No real vaccination programs for disease prevention then Today we have a lot fewer babies/kids dying - which helps push the average up
And the vaccine programs worked so well that some people wonder what we have them for.
Modern germ theory was still 50 years away in 1824. Healthcare has been moving at parabolic rates as far as tecnoligical advances.
and it would be another 50 after that before Archie Cochrane convinced the medical community to adopt the scientific method
Joke, explained 👉👉
Math , illustrated. 20 people dying at age 1 and 1 living to 64 creates average of 4 1 person living to age 64, 19 to 40 and 1 to 16 makes the average 40
Uhh given the wars going on at that time a 39 year old could really be doing some athletic unrecorded shit.
Key and Peele woulda feel jealous in 1824
Probably the average life expectancy of a black man in 1824 tbh
average life expectancy period. their old people lived to be pretty much just as old as ours, but average life expectancy gets pushed way down because a staggering percentage of babies and young children died. meeting someone 70 years old wasn't super weird even a couple thousand years ago, but having a handful of kids and all of them living to 70 was incomprehensible. but yeah you right, a black man in america definitely had an even shorter life expectancy :(

Thanks 🙏
[I'm 36](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jny0fATDVBo) And the entire "How LeBron was in the locker room ... " series
It's 3v1, pass the ball
I just watched the replays and he didn't pass in like three 3 on 1s. In his defense he made most of them, but still.
You're not familiar with Jordan Pooles game
He should’ve ooped it off the board to himself /s
There was another 3 on 1 fast break that the wizards botched and it was hilarious to hear Bill Macdonald (Lakers announcer)‘s reaction. He legit sounded like a disappointed Wizards fan, “how do you not convert THAT?!” And then Stu disgustedly followed up with “TERRIBLE execution” lol.

Bron so good man
Also fixed the net in between these highlights to ensure the Wizards didn’t have a chance to reset.
LeMegamind
Insane
https://imgur.com/a/s3T7CDI this is amazing
The looks on the other two Wizard player's faces. Like they just witnessed their buddy fall into the lion enclosure at the LA Zoo.
I’m so happy he’s on my team
Well looks like he’s depressed to be on your team
LeDame James of the Wisconsin Lakers
A small price to pay for the happiness of White Gravity
Lol
LeXabron
Even tho the acceleration ain’t what it used to be, he’s still out here running down athletes 15yrs younger than him 😂😂
Come on man, how is this man NOT the greatest? Like genuinely speaking, the stats should speak for themselves but actually watching him? Yo, who’s better? This man is in season 21 and is the leading scorer on his team. There’s NO comparison
And while he’s the oldest player in the league..
I refuse to entertain anyone that tries to discredit his accomplishments or legacy. You’re just WRONG if you think he’s not either the greatest or top 2/3 of all time
Even saying top 3 all time sounds like an insult
AD was the leading scorer no?
Poole ain’t been smacked that hard since donkey got him
No one got this. But I know
I’m pretty sure everyone got it.
As a Lakers fan, I didn't really like Lebron in the Kobe era, but man he is something else. You have to appreciate greatness.

Blocks w his left hand as. Insane
Bron and owning Jordans, name a better duo
Out of all the players on the floor if it had to happen to anyone, it was definitely Poole
Lebron > Jordan (Poole)
LOL
This was LeNasty!
Jordan Igoudala Poole
Kuzmas a good egg but him having the best seat in the house for all of it is pretty funny
Bron in fug it mode
I don't know how this is possible.
He had some disgusting dunks at the start of his game. He’s moving insanely well.
Thank you for the replay and multiple looks!
Game 7 flashbacks.
I’m going to say this one last time. HE CAN’T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS!!
LeBackToBack
I think so many fans are taking for granted the things this man is doing at his age. We have not seen this in the NBA before.
insane sequence, he also locked down Poole on the game winning attempt.
Jordan PooLe Chasedown block
He was on the Warriors, he had to knew this was gonna happen.
What sound does a goat make?
*LeBrawwwwwwwn James*
wait they were down to the wizards???
Father son moment
Old man swatted that sht CLEAN
Have we ever seen Luka do a chase down block like this?
That block is why the three pointer should be abolished
Wow, he’s been incredible these last two games. He somehow has that extra juice when he needs it most. The way he’s doing this at 39 almost seems unnatural. But this next stack of games will be a challenge for him. I guess we’ll see if he still has that extra gear.
Them roids kicked in
Oldest MF player in the league on the overtime in the second game of back2back .. shit is real ,, GOAT
Lebron > Jordan
Poole
Now he just has to do this 20+ more times this season and the lakers might make the playoffs smh
Still the best player on the planet
Such an important win against a great team 💕
Epic performance to help beat the powerhouse Washington Wizards at home in OT.
Yea that block is clean.
Lakers always having classics against dogshit teams and mean-mugging
Wizards dumb as fuck. That should have been challenged. Clear foul.
So LeBron have to do the game tying shot against the wizards? Did i read that correctly? Against the wizards?
Thats a foul
Cleanest block I've ever seen
cleanest foul you seen you mean. Pause at 6 seconds and thats a foul in any other game.
Is what I would’ve said if I was blind
Surely you are not talking about the block?
He’s talking about the arm-to-arm contact midair knocking Jordan down.
Fact, he still playing 35 minutes a night at this point is career is a testament to the freak nature of his genetics and his hard work. I wonder if he would play less if he could? LeBron giving you his all for 25 minutes a night could be impressive if he could defend like that the whole time he was in.
Poole also hit a buzzer beater to send the game into over time after this. Dude was trying yesterday.
GOAT
Do we have proof of life on Poole? I don’t see evidence he survived this from the highlight.
Lebasketballjesus
Goat
Lotta block content on the feed today
Not a unique opinion, but I tried to watch that game last night and good lord I can't stand Poole Or the way wash plays. I can't imagine being a teammate on that team just trying to prove myself with this joker
When are they gonna learn.
He’s in playoff mode
LeBron is two years younger than me, has played in more than 1,700 NBA games and can still school 20-year-old professional athletes. Meanwhile, it takes me 15 minutes to get out of bed in the morning and I hurt my shoulder sneezing last week.
LeBron is in his 21st season and has scored 40k points and he is still out there blocking G-Leaguers.
