I swear this mf about to be on some Tom Brady shit dropping 30 on the regular when he is 45
If only Lebron was like Genghis Khan and fucked everyone. He would kickstart the next evolution of humanity with the right person.
Your turn, Luka

The fuckery might continue for a little longer than expected
38yo making some of the best basketball players look like plebs like me
There are only four players in NBA history with 45+ points at age 38 or older
The universally viewed three greatest NBA players ever: MJ, LeBron, and Kareem. Along with Jamal Crawford.
How fitting
not even a triple double on his 38th birthday hes washed
From a skills standpoint, from a footwork standpoint, from a shot-making standpoint, from I’m a 3 level scorer, from there is no spot on the floor where I’m uncomfortable, from a standpoint of finishing, being aggressive, getting to the cup, throwing it down, getting to the line, making his free throws, his mind range game, who he is at the elbow, his face up game, back to the basket game, his ability to shoot the turnaround jumper over both shoulders, his one dribble pull-up, his two dribble pull-up, his pump fake, getting a guy up in the air, his touch around the basket, his left hand.
We’re looking at one of the best and most advanced players in the game today.
Appreciate this while you can, you’re never going to see anything like this again
Ridiculous, just ridiculous. Basically a 47 point triple double at 38 in year 20. The best ever.
This is probably controversial, but I think if he was on even an average team he’d still be in the discussion as a top-5 player.
Imagine thinking he regressed after his slow start
This man is still worth ruining the future of your franchise lmao that’s a testament to his greatness.
39 fcking minutes what a damn performance from the king
18 years later and he’s still the best forward in the league 💀
Trade those fucking picks Pelinka
He’s 73 btw
Thank God he didn’t pull a Chris Paul and become washed out of nowhere
LeBron just scored the 3rd most points in a game ever for a player age 38 or older, behind only 51 from MJ (age 38) and 49 from Jamal Crawford (age 39)
Dec 30 2009 – LeBron vs ATL – 48 points
Dec 30 2022 – LeBron vs ATL – 47 points
THIRTEEN YEARS APART

Get him some help Rob PelHitler
Fuck what anyone says. The second Lebron calls it a career, it’s gonna be a dark day for sports
Edit: I won’t even talk about his stats. This mf could have a case for his jersey/legacy to be immortalized by **THREE** franchises. While also delivering a chip to his hometown along the way.
That is absolutely mind boggling to think about. We may never see that kind of franchise-altering impact by a single athlete again
Trade the fucking picks for some god damn help Pelinka. It doesn’t need to be a fucking star.
He can play the game of basketball in his sleep. He was insane tonight!!
At 38 years old is wild
This greatness, folks.
20 years and counting and it still won’t be properly appreciated till he’s done.
Inject all the Le jokes into my veins
Felt like a statement game.
There was a lot of criticism on his latest comments (unwarranted criticism), and it really felt like he responded to all of that tonight.
His numbers in like the past 20 games coming back from injury have been absurd. He’s still one of the best players in the league, stuck on an atrociously constructed roster.
The lakers are 15-21, rob pelinka should have an APB put for his arrest.
He is top 5 still idc
This is kinda bittersweet because it shows what Lebron can do if he really puts his mind and energy towards it…can’t wait for the IG posts tho 😭
Someone posted a thread asking whether he could break MJ’s record of most points (51) by a 38yo…definitely came close
The Lakers front office should be absolutely fucking ashamed.
This will be his ***fifth*** year with Los Angeles. He gave them a championship the year after signing with them.
Yet they’ve had their heads up their assholes the entire time and he’s just continued competing at a championship level.
Trade the fucking picks you morons. What do you think literally any other team in the NBA would do with 5 years of LeBron James?
This shit is just disrespectful and frankly disgusting at this point. He isn’t talking enough shit about them as far as I’m concerned.
**Edit:** Rob Pelinka & Jeanie Buss are terrorists. Okay, now I’m done.
Father time who? God damn this guy is still a beast.
Hot take: He’s having a better offensive season that Giannis
No spoiling lebrons birthday here.
I remember watching his highschool games live on ESPN. Who would have thought then that he would live up to the hype (being on national tv). Probably the 1st of that type of player at the time.
Get him some help Rob, he absolutely can still be the best player on a championship team and with a healthy AD he doesn’t even have to be
Monstar Drain from CP3 process complete.
Lol the next report i want to play until 45, next game lose im a winner trade me to playoff team lol. happy birth the king
Imagine being one of the losers who said the other day you wouldn’t want your win now team to trade for LeBron James because it might wreck your window. LeBron James is the mf window.
Me on the day I turned 38: 16 wings, an order of cheese fries, 3 fingers of scotch, Ben and Jerry’s Ice cream and a blow job.
