LeBron James basically played three quarters. Showed out and sat down!
Honestly, this post game could (and maybe should!) have been done and posted by the end of the third quarter. LeBron James basically put in work in the first half and did the NBA favor by not turning an ankle in the third quarter.
By halftime, LeBron James had 16 points and 8 assists. He welcomed Moritz Wagner back to the Staples Center to remind him were the weight room was. How good was LeBron in this game? He actually made Rajon Rondo look like an All-Star in the game.
In three quarters of running Thanksgiving dinner off, LeBron James scored 23 points and dished out 11 assists that showed the entire repertoire.
During the 18-0 run that had the Lakers making jokes with Bradley Beal as he was shooting free throws, LeBron felt the need to practice a few tricks from the bag.

Before everyone hits the park thinking that it’s an easy pass, save your gas money and energy. The degree of difficulty of throwing an over the head. bounce pass splitting two Wizards players in stride to AD is totally ridiculous. Bradley Beal didn’t even have a chance to wrap him up.
Or as Stu Lantz said during the broadcast: He wrapped AD, he just didn’t wrap him up.
Let’s talk turnovers shall we?
LeBron James had 6 turnovers in the game and 4 in the first quarter alone. Most would say so? Well the Lakers start playing better competition next week on the road. Plus with Dallas coming to the Staples Center on Sunday, 6 turnovers is not going to cut it.
But this is the Wizards.
