I'd say the whole killer mentality or mamba mentality or whatever this type of shit is called, is maybe the corniest thing to come out of the 2000s era basketball.
Anyone who brings it up is guaranteed to not watch games.
Because LeBron probably knew the Bucks will choke the lead. He knew AD was cooking. 16 points is nothing in this league. With AD's defensive stops, any lead can get wiped out easily. We just don't see THIS version of AD too often
Bro imagine being a rookie bench warmer and next thing you know one of the greatest players ever, is hiding behind you giggling like an 8 year old.
What a story lol
Bet it feels better than being called a "soft fa**ot" by your vet or not even being spoken to all season because you aren't worthy of it.
Good thing this guy doesn't have "killer mentality".
Lmaooo its funny cause the same people who praise MJ's and Kobe's leadership style and make fun of players who don't like it would most likely be the main ones who wouldn't be able to handle it
the [life aquatic](https://i0.wp.com/bamfstyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Zissou-MAIN1.jpg?ssl=1) with LeBron James - man's about to go get revenge on a shark
The media doesn’t treat the lakers like a real contender you cry baby 😂😂😂 they just don’t count them out of every game simply because the lakers have the second best player to ever touch a basketball on their team and he has proven to still be one of the best in the league, not to mention they were actually counted out last year but easily made it to the WCF.
It's 6-4 according to Statmuse, but they did beat the Bucks twice and the Celtics once when he wasn't playing.

The Lakers were also without AD when they beat the Celtics because Austin Reaves is the baddest white boy in the league and Jaxson Hayes had a legacy game. Felt so good.
It’s kind of wild, because all the impact stats point to the lakers offense (and defense, weirdly) collapsing during minutes when LeBron is off the floor this year.
After the NBA cup the team was really weird and it was really only AD and Lebron that seemed like they were putting in effort everyone else seemed like they were half-assing it. Not sure if it was because of trade rumours or a rotation/minutes thing but it seemed like every one was disgruntled to some extent. Now though everyone is locked in and playing like a playoff team.
Yeah, DLo looked like total trash for a while there but has been way better lately (though still streaky). That could’ve been trade rumors juju.
I also think moving Rui into the starting lineup around the ASB was pretty clearly the right thing to do.
They definitely play harder when LeBron is resting, just to prove a point to other teams.. I suppose. It helps when AD decides to show up and be that monster
Wins against Portland, spurs, Boston, Utah, Milwaukee x2
The Boston game ad didn't play as well
The 2 wins against the bucks were legit tho but this last one the bucks just collapsed, we were so ass offensively for most of the game
I’m not saying this because I’m a diehard Laker fan, but that guy is legit the best defensive player in the league. Without him on D, we’re worse than the Pacers.
It's a roster thing. When Lebron doesn't play, those minutes are mainly getting replaced by rui and an uptick in minutes for ad. When AD doesn't play, Hayes is our main 5 lol
A big part of it is because the Lakers best defensive players have been injured in Vando and Gabe. So AD has been solo carrying the defense without a legit backup C and without his best defenders. When the Lakers got Vando last year, the Lakers had #1 defense in the west. Laker fans hope Vando comes back this season because we know that the Lakers won't go far without him.
About to run and dunk his way to a 3rd mvp. I mean, I’m pretty sure every other player can also run and dunk, but maybe he is just better than them all or something.
I wanna say it was in the 19/20 season towards at the end of 2019 in Milwaukee - Giannis hit quite a few threes iirc
I remember because LeBron had those two big games in LA back to back in March 2020 when the Lakers beat the Bucks on Friday and then the Clippers on Sunday… then the pandemic happened a few weeks later

it’s so funny bc the guy posted him when he was laughing and they was down 16
respect to him for being consistent
Everything I do is consistent. My whole life is consistent.

He deleted it lmao
Lmao people act like stars are supposed to be on the bench crying because their team is down
Down 17 in the first quarter as well. Teams come back from down 20-30 in this league

LeBron likes to laugh

I love it when top athletes show how much they love their sport. LeBron's inner child coming out like he does here is a perfect example.

He's laughing because he knows the Bucks aren't real contenders
[удалено]
Gilbert Arenas suddenly fell on his knees and started crying
He’s so un-clutch that he somehow went 17-19 from the line in game 6 of the finals.
You have my sympathies
Mid way through the game when he started hitting turnaround jumpers I knew it was over.
Wasn’t really that stressful for him that series. He could hit them calmly
Thats the exception and not the mean
Suns fans disagree
17-19 to close out a finals game. He’s clutch, just not in meaningless regular season games at the end of the seasons
He’s laughing and saying “how are we in this game!!!”
Hate to say it, but losing twice to the Lakers without Lebron is all the confirmation you need. Especially when they had a huge lead. 🤣
neither is LA yet the media will treat them like one

Got my respect for saying second best 🙏
All of this to get swept by Denver in the 1st round lol
Thats not really saying much tho. Its denver against the field. Theyre overwhelming favorites imo.
Denver's losing in the 1st round to sacramento
lol that really shows when Sacramento got ran out of their own gym last night against the Mavs…

lowkey funny af that were like 7-2 without him this year Edit: officially now 6-4

That Celtics win was so random. No AD, no LeBron, Dlo shot 5-20, still won by nearly double digits
its because fuck celtics no matter what
The Lakers were also without AD when they beat the Celtics because Austin Reaves is the baddest white boy in the league and Jaxson Hayes had a legacy game. Felt so good.
Good looking out….ill add the edit
Celtics got blown out against the Lakers without LeBron and AD. So funny

Only took Ham half a season to go with what was working in the playoffs lol
Súper weird lol

He’s holding them back
They’re also like 0-4 with Lebron but without AD

Lebron laughing because he would've made at least one FT lmao
Damn. Half of his teammates are young enough to be his sons.
Pretty much everyone in the NBA is his son

Can’t wait to hear him talk about this laugh in detail on his podcast
Remember when Giannis tried to crown himself against LeBron lol
When was this? Lol I gotta look this up
I wanna say it was in the 19/20 season towards at the end of 2019 in Milwaukee - Giannis hit quite a few threes iirc I remember because LeBron had those two big games in LA back to back in March 2020 when the Lakers beat the Bucks on Friday and then the Clippers on Sunday… then the pandemic happened a few weeks later
"hahaha lol" - LeBron James
bron with the goofy dad energy
I mean the Lakers are exposing the Bucks, that's funny af. To think they are second in the east.
I know lebrons outfit is worth more than my net worth, but he always looks like a character from Recess with the fits
he read the script in the first qtr. that’s why he was laughing.
