The second best player on the team wasn’t Lebron James.

The last time he actually played we won a playoff game and lost to the powerhouse Warriors in the same number of games as Lebron.

That’s what having AD on your team does, it elevates those around him. Where was this team last season? They were busy checking out by March.

I wouldn't say he is carrying them. He's scored the most but LeBron is about to have another triple double and the only Laker who has really had a bad game is Kuzma. Everyone is scoring and defending well tonight.

Comparing what happened in an organization that drafted buddy hield over Jamal murray is super irrelevant. They got lucky to get Zion. They haven’t made any good moves in 15 years.

It’s game 1 of the series. Lakers lost game 1 vs Portland and Houston. I think game 1 means very little in the long run. Especially since there is no real home court advantage.

How about those per 100 stats?

Giannis only had better stats due to pace!!!

Yea, his usage is higher on a higher pace team. Math and shite but I don’t expect Pels fans to understand.

He's not.

If you gave 30 GMs the choice of player for a postseason, 30 out of 30 are taking Lebron over AD.

Agreed. LeBron is the better player, but even if 30/30 GMs are taking LeBron, AD is still close enough to him.

Except AD wouldn't be #2 on that list.

So?

If LeBron is 100 overall, AD is 97.

only having to win 3/6 instead of 4/6 is kind of a big deal

AD is dumb as a box of hammers bro, he can't even dress himself

he just plays with the smartest basketball IQ guy in history

he's a 2nd banana, Giannis isn't
