One play in the fourth quarter, however, seemed to sum up the Lakers struggles perfectly.
James, after a Suns made basket, went to inbound the ball. As he tossed it, it hit the bottom of the backboard and sailed out of bounds again, handing Phoenix the ball right back.
It was a careless turnover rarely seen at the NBA level.

White Euro players are starting to take over the league.
He does have plans to expand entertainment after basketball. Now I know he wouldn’t listen to me, but here’s some good advice, and it’s worth potentially millions. STAY OUT OF POLITICS AND RACIAL GRIEVANCE PANDERING!
I have noticed that. Lots of players with “ic” at the end of their names.
They keep comparing LaBron to MJ.
Hell, LaBron isn’t even Scotty Pippin.
It is just the game has gotten so bad and the skills have so deteriorated that anyone who can sink a jumper is considered GOAT.
I can’t even watch NBA anymore.
My Freeper friends are basketball wimps. This NBA season is one of the best and a few bad passes only triggers the haters. Don’t let politics cloud the beauty of a step back 3 pointer. Go Lakers!
So true, so true.
Maybe at this moment Lebron’s deficient mind was searching in vain for any “contributions” of his Communist idol Colin Krapernick
>Maybe the Lakers would be better off without him too!
They would be better off without this disruptive person on their team. They should never have signed him.
Who, me? (maybe)
One more leftist goof in Hollywood! Alright! Well, he IS the foremost flopper in the league, so I see your point.
The Warriors may have problems in the playoffs this year as they have slipped to an average defending team. Earlier championship teams were near the top of the league defensively and offensively.
Everybody in Dallas is excited about Luka Doncic. And now with Portzingas, and if they get Vucevic, from Orlando in the off-season, they may actually soon have an all-white starting lineup, heh heh.
>>He will remain the greatest player of all time because he has the physical attributes to dominate a game, ala Chamberlain. irrespective of his political views..<<
If “all time” starts in 2010 or 20.
He would be a mid-level player in the day of Magic, MJ and Bird. The game has deteriorated so badly that LeBron just APPEARS to be great since everyone else sucks so badly.
Nobody will ever be better than MJ.
>>Nobody will ever be better than MJ.<<
As a pure player, yes.
Magic was the better overall player as he was a force multiplier. Consistently leading the league in assists says it all.
As I said, LeBron is maybe as good as Scottie Pippin or Kevin McHale.
With the NBA expanding it does water down the talent level. It makes very good players look like superstars.
Please ping me with any Southern California related articles. Thank you!
If you want on or off this ping list, please FReepmail me.
Joe Harris of the Brooklyn Nets isn’t Eastern European, but he’s got a beautiful old school white boy game.
As for the “ics”, Jusef Nurkic of the Blazers is my favorite.
Too many injuries, poor management..teaching this team ZERO defense..unfortunately you could bring back Phil Jackson to coach this team and they would STILL lose
I’ve been a basketball fan since 1968. I’ve never seen a player with LeBrons particular skill-set and physical attributes. He’s built like Wes unseld, but unseld couldn’t do half the things that he can do. And I was a big Bullets fan back in the day.
And while shooting skills have definitely deteriorated over the years, passing skills have greatly improved at all positions. We can thank Pete Maravich for that. He does not get the credit that he deserves for raising the bar in that Department.
