There’s no clear basketball reason for LeBron James to stop. “He’s going to pass a lot of marks,” Lue said. “First of all, he’s great. One of the greatest players to ever play the game. And then two, just the longevity. The more you play, the more records you’re going to break. But for him, like I said, it’s all about his mental space, about how he wants to put work into his body, how he ate every single day, every single night. And it’s a tough regimen. It’s a tough discipline to be able to do that. To be able to eat great every single day, to be able to work out every single day, to do your correctives every single day. It’s a hard process. So for him to be able to do that, just shows you what type of player he is.”
Disjointed or error-prone basketball could be forgiven on a night like Thursday – and Redick started with a perceived truth as he attempted to rally the troops during an early-game timeout “I know y’all are tired,” Redick said, according to guard Austin Reaves, who shared the internal dynamics of a Lakers huddle after the game Thursday night. “I’m not tired,” James fired back.
“I was like, ‘I’m not tired either,’” Reaves recalled. “Follow the leader; that goes along with the belief that we’re talking about. “It’s a beautiful thing to have (James) as one of the leaders of this team, because if there’s anybody in the world that could take games off, mentally not be there in a film session, practice, whatever it might be, it could be him, and that’s not how he’s wired. So, yeah, I think he’s insane.”
Solomon Hill: unfortunate play. no intent there at all, respect to Bron.
You robbed us of another Bron MVP 😭😭😭

Carmelo Anthony on playing with Barack Obama: He's Barry in the gym. He’s Barry. He's Bo in the gym. We wasn't at the White House. We played somewhere else at… It was like Navy or something like that. One of the campuses. We played somewhere. But yeah, I got the call like, "Yo, Obama doing a basketball game, man." He said he needs a shooter. Said he wants you. You have to be there. Damn! I got summoned. I think LeBron was there. We had some older guys and then he invited some of the younger guys. We were just there having a good time man. We played pick up. Q. Did anybody guard him with any gust? Anthony: You guard him but you just can't touch him.
None of it is surprising, he insists. Gilgeous-Alexander counts Chris Paul as one of his earliest mentors. In his first season in Oklahoma City, Paul told him: You know you are starting to do things when you go to other arenas and they boo you. “That’s very true,” says Gilgeous-Alexander. Let the crowds complain. Let the talking heads gripe. To Gilgeous-Alexander, it’s just evidence he’s doing something right. “Everybody in the history of the NBA has an arc where everyone loves them, and then everyone hates them,” says Gilgeous-Alexander. “LeBron James was hated, and look what he’s done for the game? It’s part of the game. I love it. It’s stuff I dreamed about as a kid.”
Danny Green: If he gets one, if he even gets one championship with the Lakers because nobody's nobody's banking on them winning a championship. That's not possible. If he gets it done with one and gets a Finals MVP win, him getting it done, I'll put him above Michael Jordan. (…) Mind you, again we're talking about the Lakers win a championship. (…) Paul Pierce: I’m going to tell you what LeBron has done. He's made being the GOAT unattainable now. Because like when you look at it, he put a wall in front of Jordan. Because to like be the GOAT, that means you have to be better than LeBron. Nobody's going to be better. It's just hard to mention it. If Wenby won six championships, you going to be like, well, he's not better than Bron because Bron statistically he’s just so much better than everybody.
One of LeBron James’ teammates from the championship-winning 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers in Richard Jefferson recently shared that he thinks the future Hall of Famer’s career could span 25 seasons. He did clarify, though, that the four-time NBA champion would need to accept a new kind of role when speaking with SiriusXM NBA Radio’s David Shepard on March 17. “Yeah, 100% I think it’s a possibility. But now, it’s not just an acceptance of, ‘can he do it.’ Is he willing to take the role that would most likely be required for that? If you were like, ‘Bron, you can play until 25 years. But your last year, you’re going to average 15 points.’ Is that something that he’s willing to do? I don’t know. He set a standard for himself, we expect that standard for him. And so it’s more about what he’s willing to accept, and the role he’s willing to. And only he knows that,” Jefferson told Shepard on the air.
