The story from the Los Angeles Lakers’ loss:

LeBron James shied away from contact…the pressure of this shot…and fear of being the goat!

Don’t get it twisted, we are not talking about that tired debate of this guy being better than Michael Jordan. He’s not. He’s not better than Kobe Bryant. Look, Larry Bird would have taken this shot!

LeBron James is really wasting everyone’s time since the All-Star break. Sure he scored 56 points against the Warriors, but what has he done before or since? Let’s break down the analysis!

Close your eyes…what do you see? Nothing? Well, there you go!

LeBron shot 9-26, for 23 points, but he got his triple-double with 14 rebounds and 12 assists. Who cares? He didn’t play a lick of defense at times in this game and he was outplayed by a rookie. Let’s meet him.

Jalen Green beat the Los Angeles Lakers!

Green had 32 points on 13-21 shooting and basically took over the extra five minutes. Oh that’s it.
