Remember how crazy Kobe was when he had to “adjust” when Shaq was out??? That guy was so fire 🔥 and willed his team to many crazy wins
Sax Fiff Acum 5 Zile
Lebron doesn’t know how to adjust in the way that he needs to, it’s not in his game. He’s not a great one one one player, nor is he a great shooter or ball handler, he’s not clutch and doesn’t don’t know when to activate attack mode. He’s made it this far off his athleticism, but he needs to be able to score 40 and 50,

AD should be traded. Lol. That is wasted time and money tbh. Time waste. for Lebron bc father time is catching up and money lost for Lakers org
Techneeque South Africa Acum 8 Zile
If Lebron doesn't average 30 points per game, the Lakers just might watch the NBA Finals from the couch.
ZodusX3 Acum 8 Zile
Like lebron the only player in the league trying to backpack a team...cough cough Dame, kd when Kyrie was out, Bradley Beal when the whole team was out, luka. But we’re gonna make a big sob story about lebron being asked to do too much
Leovic Rosal Acum 8 Zile
Jimmy outhustled Lebrn, simple as that, he shyed away and gave the shots to his teammates so he won't get blame, very same look during the finals against Dallas, looking for someone else to takeover on clutch moments. Lakers were lucky Dragic and Bam wasn't well last year's finals.
Jhon Snow Acum 8 Zile
No Ring without AD. mark my word
Kay Sheye Acum 8 Zile
good thing he'll be back by April then :)
Terrell Evans Acum 8 Zile
Kd is the best player in the world. The true best player player of this era. They have so many excuses for his failures its unbelievable. He is not clutch and has no killer instinct. Always passin when he should be taking the last shot. Been like this his entire career. Even james harden is better than Lebron.
Terrell Evans Acum 8 Zile
@hz01 im talkin about lebron is not clutch
hz01 Acum 8 Zile
LOL no one ever said that KD is not clutch. He's just beta asf like you who couldn't tell. He has talent but wasted.
Erick Santos Acum 8 Zile
I think LeBron should do enough to get them to the playoffs, and the work out whatever problems the team may have, the players may have, before the time comes. He shouldn't turn it up and just be playoff LeBron just because he's LeBron. If he is injured, the Lakers are going out the first round if they even make it to the playoffs, even if AD comes back 100%.
Raymond Rivera Acum 8 Zile
Lebron,Davis,griffin,and 🌹to Chicago by 2022 .....3peat ☝

When Lebron first teamed up with AD he should have known he was more fragile than a wet paper bag

It is fair to ask Lebron for more. The way he hogs all accolades on any Lakers W. Also he is a self-proclaimed GOAT

man is 36 and needs to do more lol . I get he is suppose to be the best player in the world but come on he needs more help from the other players rather than that
Mark anthony Mundo Acum 8 Zile
lebron wasnt talking about himself to adjust,its about his teammates,they need to stepped up,
Tyler Kom Acum 8 Zile
SAS the type to say lebron "didn't want it enough"
Albert Morales Acum 8 Zile
I wouldn't say that Lebron should be doing more but rather the supporting cast needs to find a way to contribute more than they have been, that's what should be addressed. Lebron may be shooting 36% from 3-point range as of now, but he's 9-46 from the perimeter in the last 7 games... he needs to get his shot going.
jjmcwill Acum 8 Zile
Basically Stephen A is saying they need to play Bronball.

Vivek Shenoy Acum 8 Zile
Is it fair to ask LeBron to carry them? I don't know and it doesn't matter because if he doesn't become a superhuman until AD comes back Lakers aren't gonna do much. All we can do is pray AD comes back 100%. 🙏
Clement Decker Acum 8 Zile
LeBron's role players have ALWAYS underperformed and I am starting to wonder if he might be at least partially responsible...

Adonis Keef Acum 8 Zile
In 2018 he faked an injury Bc he knew he had no chance to make the finals on his own. If you see lebron “injured” this year it means AD is probably out for a LONG time. Run bron run. He bout to join the 76ers next season 😂
Benjamin From The Tribe of Judah Acum 8 Zile
AD been accident prone

There's not much else he can do at his age... even when he was younger, you can't expect much more from anybody performing like he is

Man Bron need to maintain his pace until they get to the playoffs...man 36yrs old and folks expecting a Prime pace from him.. role players need to make their shots. KCP been struggling heavily.

Bron need to do what Bron has always do to win...trade guys to get better guys!
Sir Toon The Great Acum 8 Zile
Bron needs to score period... he needs to score and have a killer mentality with AD out
Ricardo Rmz Acum 8 Zile
Funny how in the beginning of the season they said it was a secure championship because of the off season moves and now that AD is out and have lost 3 of 4, now Lebron has no help, I hate this narrative , he can play better he’s shooting horrible this past 2 games, he just gets the narrative that fitt him every time.

So let me get this straight, Kobe was trying to do a lot and got criticized for it around 13' thru '16 but y'all asking if LBJ needs to do more because Max thinks he doesn't need to do more
Leland Joseph Acum 8 Zile
Kobe was having negative value at that time. He wasn't doing more, he was shooting more and that shot selection became even more cringing.

LMAO its goin to be a 2018-2019 LAKERS all over again.......boooo hooooooo i thought homie was the goat?
MarkiBash Acum 8 Zile
@B C that’s y, I hold him partially accountable for that pathetic run but still, u can’t ignore the fact that they were like a 4th seed 30ish games in I believe?
B C Acum 8 Zile
@MarkiBash he came back in January that season
MarkiBash Acum 8 Zile
Wasn’t Lebron injured at the worst time that season when the lakers were like the 4th seed, though I will hold him partially accountable for the “playoff run” when he returned.
Eric Valenzuela Acum 8 Zile
Nothing he can do. According to the experts Brooklyn has it all wrapped up anyway. Today at least
DJaySplitSecond Acum 8 Zile
If the big three avoids injuries, they winning the chip this year!
Jonathan Blanton Acum 8 Zile
What experts are saying it's a wrap for Brooklyn, or that they're even anything more than slight favorites? In fact most experts still have the Lakers winning the championship, and the Lakers are still the Vegas favorites to win it all.

DC_Galaxy Acum 8 Zile
@Chay Tiano lol he has a point. About 2 weeks ago. They just said they were worried about the nets. Lakers lose 2 starters and of course they worried about them. Any top teams that lose 2 starters. Especially if they are the 2nd and 3rd best player then yeah it's gonna be rough.
Chay Tiano Acum 8 Zile
Stop crying.

Urbain Delva Acum 8 Zile
I've said this many times. LeBron needs to modify his game so that when he's off the floor, his teammates can sustain without him. That's the best way the Lakers are gonna turn things around. Outside of that, there's not much else he can do
Rossjyn Fallorina Acum 6 Zile
@Lakers In 5 maybe make his on-the-floor game less reliant on him running the offense? Most of the time it’s him facilitating (when he’s not scoring) - when he’s off the court the team just looks lost since no one runs the show as much as Lebron. They don’t get enough minutes to do that. Rondo worked since he has the IQ and experience.
Anthony Harris Acum 8 Zile
@Lakers In 5 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lakers In 5 Acum 8 Zile
Modify his game? If he's off the floor how can he control what happens on the court? Make it make sense.
rick santana Acum 8 Zile
SAS sound silly. LeBron is 37 years of age and 18 years deep in the NBA. No way he should “do more.” Ask his teammates to do more. See...here’s what SAS loves to do, he’ll setup a narrative that he can later tear down. In this case it’s LeBron doing more. Now, if LeBron does not perform at SAS’s level, he’ll circle back around and use it as a way to offer harsh critique of LeBron.

@Desmond Hackney Jr So if a football team wins 4 out of 10 games, did they have a winning season or a losing season? When you lose more than you win, you certainly can't say I've A:WAYS been a winner. He has SOMETIMES been a winner.

Lebron Fans in January: We ain’t worried about the Nets Big 3. Harden is a choker and Kyrie is a head case. Lebron Fans in February: It’s unfair that Lebron has to go against the Nets superteam. The league shouldn’t have allowed this superteam to form.
