Shams said on First Take he guesses Lebron has one or two more years left, but could also depends on what happens with Bryce, his younger son. 

I say why stop there? His daughter looks to be about ten. Maybe in eight years they could be first father - daughter NBA duo. He could be first 50 year old to play in the NBA. 

Lol, Bronny's basically turned into the weirdest "just to make pops happy" hire ever now that he's been assigned to the D-league...but only playing in home games because he's NOT flying commercial to do stupid shit like actually develop as a basketball player by playing in a full season worth of games.

So, I'm in favor of LeBron remaining a high-level player for forever, just to see how far a team will bend over backwards to make him happy. I'm also guessing Bronny wants him to be a high-level player forever, too, since the minute the Lakers don't need to make daddy happy, his career is over unless some low-level team takes a flier on him to see if that will at least give them an attendance/ratings bump.

I don’t think LeBron’s kids need to play basketball. Dad can always pay for dinner, or $30 million mansion or whatever. LeBron’s dad wasn’t around….King James’s kids are beyond set

There was a video out there that was cracking me up. It was JJ Reddick in a press conference and they must have dubbed over his voice where Reddick was saying "yeah, Bronny sucks...bout freakin' time we sent him to the G League" and other stuff like that. You'd have to hear it but very funny.

15-0; tied 2nd best start in NBA history.  Tomorrow night vs. Celtics; that would be a big win; .........you know the Celts want to be the team that ends the streak. 

I need them to lose (but not to the Celtics). I am way to invested in November NBA Basketball at the moment. 

Garland 1-14

The game that’ll never end

Knecht 9/12 on 3’s for 37 points

 3 for 21 ................. only reason they lost. 

Knecht is #4. The Lakers announcers called him Knecht-4. It’s now one of my favorite nicknames and I cannot believe I didn’t realize it or hear it prior to this. 

This start to the season for the 76ers is something else. Brutal. 

This is a crazy 2 min span

Lakers and Clippers lose by combined 69 (nice) points. Tough night for LA. 

Jokic goes for 56/16/8 but they lose to the miserable miserable Wizards

Brunson goes for 55*

*against the Wizards 

I haven’t been able to get into the NBA much this season. I’ve barely watched. I guess I’m apart of the viewership issue they’re having.

Oh I’ve barely watched as well. I’ve watched some quarters of the Lakers. Tiny but if Celtics/Warriors.

Minimal is probably the word, but do check box scores usually

It's like the NHL where I can't really watch until the playoffs. 82 game season where over half the teams make the postseason...there's just no real point to watch a never-ending deluge of mostly meaningless games where you don't even know who will play due to "load management" when there are so many other things I could be watching.

I'm with you. I try to tune in, but the lack of good play is getting ridiculous. 

So much run and gun and chucking 3s. Defense is nonexistent, same for running ACTUAL FUCKING PLAYS.

Also Denver is very meh, and I don't see them making a run unless they make some moves. 

OKC is my pick to win it all, but we have a long long way to go. 

I tell you five years from now either Lebon or Bronny are playing meaningful minutes in the NBA. One, but not both. Who would you guess?

I’d guess LeBron….next guess would be his other son who is a junior I think in high school

Westbrook and Jokic both had triple doubles….probably not real common for teammates

Of the two, Lebron. Bronny is garbage. Only got drafted because of daddy.

Bronny will never play meaningful minutes in the NBA, maybe not even in the G league. Europe? But not sure why he'd even consider that.
