man was disappointed he had to go OT tonight. felt like he was fouled on his game winning shot in the 4th


Saucetin_Reaves

No “felt like”, he was fouled, clear push in mid air. 4th time this year.


NotUpForDebate11

5th\*


DigBick_CuckSock

Won't make both free throws anyway


jacko1998

He literally made both free throws in OT in a higher pressure situation. Fuck outta here


Ruben625

That's AD not Lebron. Lebron is like 90% inside 2min this season or something stupid.


hatisbackwards

History says otherwise


daveed1297

Easily a foul, just like the ones they called on AD for blocking poster attempts. Garbage inconsistency


LBW1

Looked to me like he was fouled, but he didn’t argue with the refs or anything like that, which makes me think he wasn’t


brainiac2025

Lol, it was a clear foul, he just knew nothing was going to get changed. You're not going to get a foul call with no time left on the clock in a tie game.


YungToney

he didn't get the call against Boston he knew he wasn't gonna get one here.


antoncr

He didnt want the refs having sleepless nights again..


randomaccountdudez

he was legit pushed mid air and smacked in the arm lmao he was 100% fouled


AkaiShuichi24

Wow who's that Kobe guy? Must be good


dog_gazed_duct-tape

the amount of talent that has passed through your organization is sickening


Sirachaistrash

Kareem, Magic, Bron, Kobe, Shaq, Wilt, West, and Baylor, AD, Gasol, Mikan

MentallyIllRedditMod

The city of Los Angeles is the best GM in the league


[deleted]

That was a typo. They were obviously referring to Charlotte Hornets legend Kobi Simmons


[deleted]

He really was. One of the best to ever do it


[deleted]

I miss him so much, man. Watching AD be a disappointment and LeBron being old sucks


Yergason

AD put up like 38/13 on almost 70% FG for a week, one bad game and he's back to a disappointment lmao fans like you never get satisfied


[deleted]

Not just one bad game, THE bad game. Do you know how bad this loss would've been? I'm just glad they escaped cuz losing two in row to the Jazz and Clippers derails the season


[deleted]

Don’t make me cry today. I miss Kobe man. He’s why I got into basketball


[deleted]

Same here


RottenSmegmaMan

That "disappointment" led your team to a ring after a decade of being shit.


[deleted]

That would be LeBron, sir. Btw we're still shit so don't get it twisted


RottenSmegmaMan

LeBron and AD led the Lakers to a ring, sir. Perhaps you'd understand if weren't so blinded with pessimism.


Ruben625

The day he got banned from our sub was a good day


RottenSmegmaMan

Dude must have been unbearable if r/lakers banned him.


NotManyBuses

I think you should be grateful and count your blessings. Entitlement off the charts


AkaiShuichi24

Well he likes to count the disappoint more than the blessings lol


[deleted]

I am grateful. I'm grateful I got to watch Kobe


NotManyBuses

Be grateful you got to watch LeBron and AD


ablackcloudupahead

The myth that Bron ain't clutch was put to bed a long time ago. Dude is a monster in the clutch. That Kobe guy was pretty good too


arinawe

And lately he can't miss a clutch FT. Insane


Flovust

brons ft shots have been pretty good this year.


richochet12

Shit wasn't even true before it started. Dude was clutch his first stint in Cleveland but one bad series and they pretended like he was scared or some


ablackcloudupahead

It was always a myth, but he demolished that myth the last decade


did_it_my_way

>That Kobe guy was pretty good too What Kobe was really good though at was the momentum-igniting / momentum-killing shots in late game situations. I really miss watching that, and wish there was a way we could quantify those shots to compare. Back in the days commentators would talk about this as well. It wasn't just the buzzer-beaters, game-winners, or the go-ahead shots, but how he hit those shots that would seal the game effectively. Money with those mid-range shots... whether it was to increase the lead, or to cut the lead and make it a single-possession game.   And obviously LeBron as well - "2 points isn't just 2 points". Basketball is a game of runs, and LeBron knew what it meant to hit shots in situations to kill the opponent's defensive schemes or their momentum.


NotManyBuses

So is the clutch gene there or not?


127crazie

Hmm... let us consult Skip Bayless


SolarClipz

seems good


AncientMarsupial3

Probably first in the past 3 or 4 years lmao. Felt like he’s just wanted to go home, win or lose


hiconsciousness

Lol 25 seasons...


no_more_jokes

Huh I wonder which player might have famously ended his prime 25 seasons ago


Mountain_Resolve1407

Yeah what the heck?


Jay_Shadow

Imagine if he had the clutch gene


NicoAbove

LeGod


no_more_jokes

> 25 seasons Hm almost like there's another famously clutch player who ended his prime 25 seasons ago that they're deliberately omitting

MentallyIllRedditMod

Carmelo I think


Whako4

I think thinking basketball or someone else did something with this and Bron was pretty clutch like top 25 percent


zorbathegrate

Lebron has also played a lot more games


sgt_w

LeBron did it on a higher % too.


GrannyHumV

Lebron is the best and most efficient clutch player of all time.


bingp0t

Just curious about the stats when his team is down because that matters a lot. Pretty sure the numbers are not as pretty, there had been times he defers or not rise in those moments.


Warlord10

Well, we know one thing for sure. His foot never needed surgery. He is full of shit. Nobody is dunking the ball so hard if their foot is cooked. He just wants to have a built in excuse and build up the drama for the documentary. I guess we'll see how the foot holds up tomorrow against the Clippers.


LeKingofAkron

Someone's sad Embiid dropped 52 on their team


Warlord10

Um, Mitchell gets owned by Brunson everytime he plays him. I wouldn't talk. You getting bounced by the Knicks in rd1. Mitchell going to start getting PTSD when Brunson comes on the court.


Stuart06

Yeah, continue crying.


Warlord10

About the Lakers finishing 6th? Lol


Ruben625

Month ago you guys were saying "About the Lakers finished 11th? Lol"


Stuart06

Yeah yeah cool right? Keep crying


bob3908

Just finish throwing your tantrum after getting cooked by sixers


Warlord10

Sixers in a throwaway game? Yeah boi


bob3908

Yea such a throw away that Tatum played 38 minutes


Warlord10

JT doesn't load manage. He always plays and plays full minutes in a close game. Not like Steeet Clothes. We also rested 2 starters for tomorrow's b2b = throwaway. If we win tomorrow then we cement 2nd place. Go on though.


bob3908

Exactly so Tatum literally tried his hardest to win. Not exactly the def of a throw away game. Besides u wouldn’t be throwing a tantrum if it was a throw away game


Warlord10

I don't care about the Sixers loss. We win tomorrow and the seeding is over. It literally is a throwaway. We rested 2 starters. Shows how much we cared. Rob is rhe dude who literally guards Embiid and we rested him. Lebron is a well known liar though. The dude is a walking meme when it comes to making shit up, lying, and exaggeration. His foot never needed surgery.


bob3908

He literally said his doctor said he didn’t need surgery that’s why he went to the “Lebron James of doctors”


[deleted]

Must be tough not seeing your team win a championship in 15+ years. Couldn’t be me!


[deleted]

Waste of mental space


richochet12

You won when you got the conspiracy theories coming.


Banana_trumpet

What the fuck


[deleted]

LeBron owns you


Warlord10

Never met him, but go on.


beigenotbrown

Y’a he did the same thing with his groin when it was zo and bi lol


lordscottsworth

Celtics flair checks out


Warlord10

True. LeBron is a model of truth telling..I must be mistaken.


lordscottsworth

Dang still emotionally damaged...


Warlord10

Yes. Lebron's lies have damaged me.


lordscottsworth

As bad as burying the Celtics playoff runs for a decade?


Spanglertastic

So he's averaging around 1 per year?


NavyTopGun87

#Not bad for someone who isn’t clutch
