Defensively the Bucks are not in that game 4. Jimmy Butler was given an open cheque by the Bucks defensive team. Giannis not fully fit, played a role in the whole thing. Holiday did play his defensive role quite a lot. But, I don't see Bucks making it out of this first round

You know hate when you see one. lol

But then you just emphasised James greatness. LeBron appreciates it.

Grizzlies are not play-off material,only regular season they Sabi play,old man LeBron show d stubborn Brook,who is d king.
Imagine Lakers with LeBron and AD are under dog to grizzlies, because of mumu regular season they carry second.
They never stand on one square. With the same mouth they say he's the best ever but he's still supposed to lose to a guy who's not even as good as the 2nd best player on the team. Very funny fanbase

On the contrary, the Bucks like most teams in the playoffs, had no answer for playoffs Jimmy. Playoffs Jimmy is no fluke and we have seen this over and over again. Playoffs Butler is that "Dawg", he wants all of it and will do it on both ends for the entire duration. Butler was scoring on Giannis/ Porter/ Middleton/ Holiday and Lopez, it did not matter who it was, he was taking no prisoners. The other players have to help Jimmy for this series to end in game 5, otherwise, game 6 in Miami will determine this series. Also, I am worried he wouldn't have the legs to do such heavy lifting in game 5 because of the short turnaround time.

His shot selection and energy is always what fascinates me. He almost never takes a bad shot (except that one time last season) and the year they got swept by the Bucks but his efficiency numbers show that he takes really high IQ shots and plays High IQ basketball

Gbe enu rirun e so hun. Just dey ja'to anyhow.

How old is James, and how old is Ja? James put his body on the line and not just once. He also had his head smashed into the floor but man stood up like noting happen.

At your age, can you run 20m and not faint?

Unless the Bucks buckle up, Heat might just close up this one.

And I want to see how the Warriors and Knicks is going to pan out.
Re: The NBA Begins by FBS: 12:17am On Apr 26, 2023
imo Celtic should be able to close this one out against Hawks in an hours time. Same for Nuggets?

It's amazing how people just forget that LeBron is 38 years old. I don't know whether they do that intentionally just so they can have an argument, or maybe they think being 38 in the NBA is normal.

They are haters and nothing more. They see greatness and are scared of it. They see longevity in a tough sport and can't explain it. Most have failed in their endeavours and can't appreciate someone else's progress. It is mostly personal.

I still play actively and I know what my body tells me after each game.

Playing at that age as LeBron and at that level is INSANE. And it's not only the physical part of it, the mental side of it is even harder. How do you go on to want something that you already have? It's called GREATNESS!

Lakers were on course to lose game 4 until LeBron happened and it was exactly how I put it.

You can see the word there - greatness!

LeBron takes over late with key buckets in clutch, lifts Lakers to win over Grizzlies

or all the talk about the importance of Anthony Davis or the rise of role players such as Austin Reaves and D'Angelo Russell, one thing remains true about the Lakers:

This is LeBron James‘ team.

And while at age 38 he may not bring it quite the same way over the first 82, he can summon greatness in a playoff game or series when his team needs it. Like a driving layup high with less than a second to go in the game — taken off the glass to avoid the best shot blocker in the league — to tie things up and force overtime.

Or how about a driving and-1 dagger to seal the win?

LeBron finished with 22 points and 20 rebounds — the first Laker to have a 20-20 playoff game since Shaquille O’Neal in 2004 — and willed the Lakers to a 117-111 overtime win Monday night.

That win has the Lakers with a commanding 3-1 lead in a series headed back to Memphis for Game 5 on Wednesday.

“These are the moments that I love. I love the postseason,” LeBron James said.

Alaye you dey yarn absolute undiluted trash. Your talk dey gba

What does his age have to do with the rest of the foolishness you're spewing on this post.

How old is James and how old is Ja? What the fuq does that have to do with anything. Ja is only 23. Going against Bron and Anthony Davis. Two guys larger, stronger and more experienced than him on both ends of the court. He's supposed to beat the Grizzlies you fkn doofus!

You can't praise him as the best with one side of your ass while claiming you expected him to lose to a lesser team with the other. You sound bipolar and retarded

Ohh and btw I'm in very good shape for my age thank you very much. But what does that have to do with anything

Ewa wo werey Meji. So me expecting Bron and the Lakers to beat an inferior Grizzlies team is = hating on Lebron.

Can it get more retarded than that? So because he's 38, they are supposed to lose to an obviously weaker team grin grin

This is absolutely unnecessary and you are the one going personal. How you come up with this is beyond me because none of us can compete with professional athletes playing at the highest level in terms of success, particularly financial success.

The person you are throwing this shade at ranks Ajala as the 2nd GREATEST PLAYER OF ALL TIME behind Jordan! He even ranks Ajala ahead of his favorite player Kobe Bryant (RIP) and that speaks to how much he respects Ajala.

Do better bro!

Ajala is just trolling LeNomad for his nomadic ways and how he hops from team to team. Ajala the Traveler, Ajala travel all over the world was an ode to how Lebron travels on the court and to Olabisi Ajala the well known globetrotter back in the day

Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you a story about “Ajala the traveler”.

You are not worth the attention and I would have been shocked if you did not jump at it because you desperately need my validation and I know it kills you that you don’t get it from me.

Moya look away as I listen to Obey sing
Ajala travelled all over the world
Ajala travelled all over the world
Ajala travelled
Ajala travelled
Ajala travelled, all over the world!

Jordan na my #1 player but just leave the m0ron. The way he's waffling you would think he's the CEO of one Fortune 500 company. Not like anybody gives a shxt anyway

I've been the one since January saying I expect the Lakers to be a threat when these fools were still busy playing poosie and ostrich because they wanted a crutch and excuses to rely on if their guy failed. But I'm the hater?

Only people who don’t follow this thread closely don’t know. During the playoffs, we get people on here and it’s easy for most who don’t follow the thread to make hasty statements..

It is one reason, I only engage handles that I know and have been following for a long time on here because I know their positions and they know mines!
