LeBron James is the best player in the world! LeBron haters, just get over it!
Music selection: Return of the Mack…Mark Morrison!
LeBron James heard the whispers.
- That he had lost a step.
- That he was passed by Kevin Durant and Kawhi Leonard for the unofficial “Best Player in the World” title.
- He didn’t want to win. He came to Los Angeles for business reasons and a retirement package.
- He was going to destroy the franchise with his antics of trying to take over!
Lake Show Life wasn’t the one that was whispering. We were flat out calling him out on it. But this site calls it as we see it. LeBron James announced that he was launching his “Revenge Season”. The staff rolled their eyes at that!
That article basically went along the lines of...”So? And? Cool story Bro!”
On Saturday night, LeBron James told everyone to shut up. There probably were some expletives in his sentence but the company does not allow curse words in articles.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is the NBA MVP in the regular season. After this performance, does anybody care? LeBron James did something that Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and Donovan Mitchell could not do. He sent the Nuggets home in an elimination game and reclaimed his spot as the top player in the NBA. It’s over and there will be no discussion.
LeBron James destroyed the Denver Nuggets with a stat line of 38 points, 10 assists and 15 rebounds. It’s his 27th playoff triple-double. He is now only the 3rd player to drop a 30+ 15+ 10+ triple-double in NBA Playoff history in a closeout game. The others? James Worthy in the 1988 NBA Finals over the Detroit Pistons and Oscar Robertson in the 1963 East Semifinals.
Not only that, he continued to wear down Jamal Murray on defensive switches.
LeBron James combined with Anthony Davis to score 23 points IN A ROW starting at the end of the 3rd quarter. Let’s be clear, LeBron was scoring the most. If he didn’t score, he was making plays for his teammates.
LeBron James is going to his 10th NBA Finals in 11 years. Really the other stuff shouldn’t even matter. Just the song selection, “Return of the Mack”! This is one of the greatest winners of this generation. If someone debates (Yes Skip Bayless, this means you!) just say “Okay, how’d your team do?” then walk away.
Anthony Davis still can’t rebound in the first half (Zero again!), but this dude is so skilled and his 3 point shooting kept Denver from getting over the hump! Read on to see how he did!
