you have to wonder if his teammates despise LBJ. Every time they lose he publicly reminds everyone that the losses really hurt him, but don’t seem to be affecting his teammates the same way. I’m a LBJ fan, but I hate when he speaks like this (so holier than thou). 

Also laley, still waiting to see them “be fine” and get a 6 seed and win a playoff series lol.

I guess the one good part about Lebron being gone is we don't have to deal with this bullshit yearly.  Being a fan of a team with Lebron is pretty exhausting.

I'd rather deal with it personally. It's better than getting pissed when they beat a shit memphis squad.

I will always take winning 100000000000000000x over, but I am just saying the one benefit (probably the only one) is we don't have to deal with the bullshit.

That was my biggest issue with him. Phenomenal player but an even more phenomenal passive aggressive bitch.

Lakers drop another to the Grizzlies. Lebron afterwards calling out teammates who are letting distractions affect the way they play. I honestly don't know who he's referring to because Kuzma, Bullock, and Ingram actually had solid games. Anyone else is a bum picked up for cents to round out the team and not going to contribute much more. At what point does he call out Lakers management for assembling this garbage team. 

I also can't believe last week he questioned teammates commitment considering:

1) He just missed 18 games, then "rested" that primetime Warriors game coming off two days rest. 

2) Has probably advocated for everyone on the team to be traded.

3) His camp voiced their displeasure with Luke Walton 

4) Has about a million side projects going on between Space Jam 2, his HBO show, working with 2 Chainz on his upcoming album, etc.

In your daily James Harden news, his streak of 30-point games ended tonight. He had 28 points with a few seconds left and a lead in their game. As he took the ball out of bounds, he was basically triple-teamed by the Hawks (savage). I like Harden but god damn he will get his three-point shots up no matter how miserable he's shooting. He's 2-20 in his last two games.

Can't say I miss this one bit.

If you listen to the entire question and answer, what he said was fine.

At first I blamed Cousins....until watching video. How is that a technical?

Heard it’s technically against the rules so the refs made the right call, even though we all know it shouldn’t be a T and the league should rescind it soon.

Very little of what he says and does these days is fine.

TBH, I think he thought he was going to the Lakers and wouldn't miss a beat. Said it before and I'll say it again, he'll never win another ring. If he wanted to play for (not necessarily win) championships he should've stayed with the Cavs or went to Philly. I appreciate that he and Kyrie brought Cavs fans a ring but I'm chuckling at all of this Lakers BS.

I said this during the summer prior to his final season with the Cavs.  If he still wants to win titles, then the Lakers made 0 sense. We will see if they can find a way go get some big names this off season.  I have a lot of doubts.

When he made the statement that his Cleveland title makes him the "GOAT," then it tells me that he's resigned to the fact that he may not (will not) win any more.  I'm assuming it was titles (Philly?) vs. Hollywood, and in the end, Hollywood won out (captain obvious).  I have to assume that having the absolute best for his kids in terms of education, scholastic ball, elite AAU programs was also very high on his list.  I can't begin to compare each area, but I'm sure he and his camp did their due diligence.

Anything is possible next year. As it's been said, they weren't expected to win a title this year. The landscape could change entirely next year.
