People just been ignoring that Lebron has always said he enjoys passing more than scoring and thought he would not do that with this team 😂
lebron starts diming and takes the 5 point lead to 19. he goes to the bench and what did we do? bring in luka. LMFAO
LeBron had a great return. He didn’t force the issue. Didn’t step on anyone’s toes. He got in where he fit in. Everyone got to put up their season averages like nothing changed at all. This is the LeBron the Lakers need. No more 20+ PPG. A cool 17-18PPG is enough. Just do all the little things that contribute to winning basketball. Luka and Austin can carry the scoring load. Also DeAndre Ayton, who has been magnificently efficient and consistent this season. Shooting 70% from the field. He’s quietly playing at an All-Star level.
Lakers are now 1-0 when Bronny pulls up from near the logo 💪
DeAndre Ayton looks comfortable playing with LeBron James.
LeBron's first game back and the Lakers score a season high 140 points. The haters are scrambling for excuses right now!! 😂
Jake Laravia is really impressing me. He just comes out ready to play every night. No hesitation on offense, holds his own on defense. Great pick up for us. I admit, I didn’t see the vision when we signed him
That play at 13:52 the no look from reeves to Bron then the no look from Bron to Ayton, that is showtime Laker style right there!
You know its scarier when LeBron is more focus on passing than scoring 🐐
Bron really bouta be on his magic shit this season
Where's all the people who said LeBron return would make the Lakers lose and play horrible yet they dominated and he led the team in assists!
Luka is on a team with LeBron. Luka is in the best shape of his career. He can take breaks while an older version of him retains control on the court. LeBron is also on a team with Luka. He is playing with more poise than ever before. LeBron can rest while a younger version of him maintains dominance. It's an exciting time for basketball fans. While the NBA is filled with incredible talent, the Lakers have two exceptional players, Luka and LeBron, who can break through defenses at any moment—potentially for all four quarters!
LeBron Johnson was dropping Dimes
Haven’t felt this good about a Lakers team since that 2019-2020 team! This team is so fun and as a real Lakers fan I’m GLAD Bron is back!
Lakers really playing with crazy energy this season. Dudes all look like they're loving it too
I said this once and ima say it again THANK YOU NICO!!! 🤣
LeBron’s passes this game were CRAZY
The fact 83 players (as of now) were born after he was drafted is so crazy to think about
Bron literally put the nail in the coffin to start 4th quarter with passing...yes he made a coach call a timeout because he took over with passing...yall not hearing me, he got a standing ovation for heating up by passing smh
I love the way Ayton played good defense every game..he has a pure lion heart like JJ said..welcome back Bron..my GOAT💜💛👑
