    LeBron just showed why he’s still the best in the game.

    I don’t really like lebron but he is the best player in the NBA, I don’t think it’s close either.

    Has he ever missed significant time because of injury? It seems he has been bigger and stronger than his peers at every stage of his career.

    I second the praise for LeBron. That was awesome.

    Spurs have to be the oldest team in the league, maybe ever. Watching Aldridge makes me wonder what a Nurk/LA/Turner/CJ/Dame lineup could d0.

    Lebron just put up 37/15/10 in 48 minutes and hit a game winner a possession after he had the game saving block in overtime after playing in ORL last night.

    In year 15.

    This man is not human

    Come on, you are spot on. Every super human athlete is usually super human for a reason. Bonds and Lance did things others couldn't do as they got older (i'm a Bonds homer myself, but I'm not dumb.). Brady and LeBron are doing things as they get older that they shouldn't be...probably a reason for it, but everyone will keep their heads in the sand because we don't want to know....until it fits the narrative to know and demonize them.

    I pulled up the ESPN box scores and it had that game at the top of the page, Phoenix 24-15 over SA. I looked over at the highlights section and was confused by the numbers, then glanced back over and the score refreshed to 24-51. Ah... (I think it was 24 for Pheonix.)

    No doubt. Although he did dribble out the clock in regulation to settle for a missed 25 footer....I mean we would have roasted Dame for doing that so .....

    Perhaps not less of a player since Durant joined the team; but definitely less of a star. No way Klay should have been picked over Paul George. Westbrick was bitching about the wrong guy beating out George.

    Why wasn't he going to bat for Melo, by the way?

    Lebron seems like a player that this franchise would love to pass over in a draft.

    He fits nicely with Jordan and Durant.

    Only if there was some injury proned big to pick instead, otherwise he’d be ours.

    Pfff - Durant shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Jordan. Durant is more like T-Mac...if T-Mac ever signed onto a championship team as a Free Agent.
