Now hopefully they can focus on losing to help us get a top 2 draft pick.

That was a good outcome. Lebron finally got the record so he can now rest some games and the Lakers getting the L.. AD was just a spectator on that game as well lol

LeBron sitting out the last minute with foot soreness then being all happy after the game despite the loss leads me to think that he knows this season is already over for the Lakers. He’s just going to try to put some points on the board the rest of the year to extend his record, but the urgency to win games will be lacking. His teammates will sense that, so I expect a record under .500 the rest of the way for the Lakers.

What in the world is going through AD's mind at that moment?! Every one of his teammates and coaches on the bench can barely stay off the court because of excitement. The whole arena is buzzing with anticipation - LeBron is one bucket away from eclipsing one of the most hallowed records in all of sports, and AD chooses that moment to sit on the bench alone.
That dude's brain just has some faulty wiring. -
02-08-2023, 08:15 AMUpper DeckerMy understanding is that AD really wanted to be on the court when Lebron broke the record. He made it known to the coaching staff. When he was not on the court for that moment, he sulked. So while I'm sure he was happy for Lebron, his selfishness took over and he looked like a b!tch.Quote:

I wanted Lebron to get that record because Kareem gets on my nerves.
But the whole production after he broke it was a bit much. The final straw was Drake. Nope. Off you go tv. Good night.
Glad to see they lost. -
02-08-2023, 10:15 AMPELICANSFANWhat about Kareem could possibly get on your nerves more than Lebron?Quote:

Rules change. It happens. I hate Lebron too, but he earned this record. -

Lebron says goofy uninformed things, but he is still willing to stand up despite the coming criticisms the sometimes he gets it right at least.
So I'm glad he got that record and I'll just leave it at that.
