Lebron still posting 30 point playoff triple doubles against the best team in the league at his age isn’t getting talked about enough. Ridiculous career.

Big up lebron. We're seeing something that's never been done before. Great game.

LeBron will forever have my respect I can't believe he's still blessing us with this elite play at this age. Insane he was a +3 tonight in that altitude and with all that ridiculous shot making by Jontay for the 5th straight game this series and the cold blooded Laker killer from Kitchener who can literally do no wrong in the clutch.

Klutch had already given him the script in the event the Lakers lose.

When I look at that Lakers roster, winning 47 games with that group in a tough west is no small feat. They stood no chance against the Nuggets, even if God was the coach.

Malone went out of his way to praise Ham postgame and said he hopes he'd stick around. ie keep his job

What? No one will shut up about it, it's all people talk about online :lol:

Every single game has like half the air time talking about his age and his performance.

The bar is just so high now to do anything in the playoffs. A team with AD and Lebron playing at elite levels wins only one game in the playoffs, Durant/Booker Beal get swept, and Curry/Klay/Draymond don't even make it.

Tanking proving its case. With good leadership you can build a OKC or Orlando or Boston. The amount of depth on those teams is staggering to me. The Thunder and Magic are both in positions to keep adding too. Boston is the deepest team in the league and basically is just toying with Miami.

Indiana and the Knicks made smart trades that added the star to build around. Hopefully, we have one in Scottie Barnes, but we need to keep adding to even have a chance.

They should talk about it even more because we'll never seen anything like this again in our lifetimes.

Lebron and AD both had to play 70 plus games too lol. They have some offensive firepower but almost zero two way players. AD is great but can get exposed like anyone. Dlo/Reeves/Rui are good regular season but easily tire when they have to guard in the playoffs making them less effective.

Wouldn’t surprise me if LeBron leaves this summer. Lakers are going nowhere and he’s still elite enough to turn many teams into contenders.

I wouldn't ascribe that kind of cynical deviousness to Malone he seems a straight shooter. He's more defending the coaching fraternity

Ham doesn't even belong in the same sentence as Malone.

He was never in to begin with.

LeBron has been coaching since 2003.
