2 clutch layups with a minute to go in the 4th, absolutely clutch. Durant was far better the whole game, but the Suns were not able to capitalize in the minutes that KD was off the floor.

Everyone say Thank you Lebron!
Y
Lebron is Father Time’s father
He played 35 minutes, idk why everyone is acting like he played 42.
Never seen Jordan do this
Year 21 and still couldn’t stop him driving to the basket in the fourth 😭😭
Lakers gotta be worried how fucking trash they look without LeBron on the court. This isn’t sustainable over a whole season
Ham was definitely going to sub him out, but we don’t win this without LeBron going crazy with the drives
KD was gassed at the end. Missed his signature, pull-up dagger three. Knew it was over then.
LeBron is the GOAT
LeBron and Djokovic are the two greatest athletes of all time. Pick you favorite. It’s becoming really hard to argue. These folks are in a completely league of their own as far as achieving peak performance even in their mid/late 30s, having to compete and schooling players 15 and 20 years younger than them.
LeBron’s layup is near unguardable. The man is 38 built like a tank driving down towards anyone’s chest.
LeMickey’s still got it
Good to see Bron and KD play one another again 😌
Dlo still better than Russ or?
+22
Tired of y’all saying this was a match up. This was lakers vs suns. How many times did they guard each other?
Lebron James – a medical miracle.
“KD was far better”
KD is also not goin on age 39 😂
Now post his bum boy L stats vs the Nuggets
Lebron looks so much better than play off. Hopefully he can stay healthy this season 🙏
It’s a damn shame we didn’t get to see them play each other for 5 years. Was KD injured in all of those matches?
LeBron is an absolute beast and force of nature whenever he turns the switch on and decides to turn it up. He’s an unstoppable force of nature.
More screener/PnR ballhandler Bron led to more success for the Lakers offense. It’s a heavier load on Bron’s legs but that’s putting the Lakers in the best position to succeed. Just have to manage the minutes intelligently, but no way was 29 minutes ever going to hold up. We say it shouldn’t be this way in Bron’s 21st season and the Lakers shouldn’t be this reliant upon him, but it is truly a testament to how great he remains more than anything.
Great players like Bron are ceiling raisers. They’re pretty important, to put it mildly, to the success of any team.

Lebron is the GOAT. Fun battle between them.
the suns without beal and booker almost beat the lakers who were at full strength.
