I’d say Giannis, Embiid, and Jokic have officially passed him. He’s no longer the best player in the world. He’s more of a floor general in the classical term, directing the pace of the game and playing basketball like an auteur. He isn’t the guy who took a Cavs team that had Kevin Love as his second best player to the title and put up 51 against the Warriors in the first game. His first step is not as quick, and his durability isn’t quite the same as he was with the Cavs or with Miami.
There was a game shortly before the All-Star Break that they were struggling at and he just turned on the LeBron Vision and the superhuman ability that he has been blessed with and led the Lakers to victory. What do you make of LeBron as a player today? And yes, this could be a first indication of decline that has yet to really manifest itself in stats but is coming two years from now. I wonder if we’re getting to the point where LeBron could use his physical gifts and intelligence to will his way to the box scores we’ve come accustomed to, without that extra sensory superpower to will a win down the stretch of even middling regular season games. But moments like last night against Dallas in the Crypt, I can’t believe they lost that game. This Lakers squad might be one of, if not the worst teams he’s ever played with, especially when AD is off the court. There’s this whole side conspiracy that he’s going to be heavily involved in the coming Vegas expansion team, it would be easy to get into the weeds on the what ifs and maybes and second shooters, let’s focus on the court.ĭespite his numbers holding steady, something feels different about the last few weeks. He has a season left after this one on his contract, and I can’t imagine he wouldn’t sign a one year deal in 2023 to set himself up for 2024, though some have speculated that when he said he’s finishing his career with Bronny it didn’t mean Bronny’s rookie year, and was classic LeBron mealy-mouthed semantics. He’s given us no indication that physically, in two years, he’d be any worse for wear. From afar, he’s right there, statistically, with some of his best seasons, averaging nearly 29, 8 and 6.3, which besides assists are above his career average. Also, who knows what LeBron’s game is like then?Īlright, that’s a good starting point, so let’s look at LeBron. If we did that, LeBron would walk back his statements and then try to get Bronny to the Lakers with him. I don’t care to draft Bronny in hopes that he’ll come here. Even now, when he continues to say how loud Knicks fans always are and how MSG is the Mecca, I can’t help but think LeBron knows what he is doing. Cavs fans think that they were shafted? We were played around with. He, played with Knicks fans as long as he could, and instead, went to the hated Miami Hea.

Kobe and the Lakers had just beaten the Celtics in a hard fought seven game series but the talk of the league was where LeBron was going to end up. LeBron was photographed in a Yankee hat for the most of the summer, was going to Yankee games, and continued to say that Madison Square Garden was a special place throughout the heat of June.
Before we get too in-depth, let’s just start with a simple question: In 2024, would you draft Bronny for no reason besides getting a final ride with the greatest player who ever lived? We upend our lives every few years for him, only to be stilted when it’s time to make his decision and break our collective hearts. We Knicks fans have made getting edged by LeBron a tradition for three micro generations spanning LeBron’s incredible 20-year career. But enough about Joe Biden, let’s discuss Los Angeles Lakers/NBA Godhead LeBron James, who made waves over the All-Star break when he said he will eventually play basketball with his son, Bronny, no matter where he lands. Last night, our fearless leader ate complete and total shit on national television, bowing to the forces that have been nipping at his heels, eager to supplant him this entire term, and shaking what little faith even his most ardent supporters have left in him and his team. Jayson, it’s a bright, clear Wednesday afternoon here in New York City and spring appears to be upon us. On Wednesday, Jayson Buford and Abe Beame talked about the Knicks and a wild hypothetical scenario:
