Norris Cole recalls one of the craziest LeBron moments in practice:
“He started making shots that nobody can make… He’ll run down to Pat Riley and be like, ‘I know it’s different. I know D Wade’s your boy, but I know it’s different.’” 😳

(2013) Gregg Popovic defends LeBron:
“He doesn’t need any of you [the media] to tell him anything. He knows more than all of you put together…. Your opinions mean nothing to him.”

The time Jerry West left the media silent in his defense of LeBron James:
“It’s ridiculous… It’s hard for me to believe that someone doesn’t recognize his greatness… This guy does everything. He’s like a Swiss Army knife.”
LeBron James has tallied the ONLY two U.S. Olympic triple-doubles in history.
HE DID IT EXACTLY 12 YEARS APART TO THE DAY:
👑 August 8th, 2012 —
11 PTS | 14 REB | 12 AST vs. Australia
👑 August 8th, 2024 —
16 PTS | 12 REB | 10 AST vs. Serbia
CAPTAIN LEMERICA. 🇺🇸
Steve Kerr on coaching LeBron:
"On every single drill he talks… His voice behind the play, yelling out what's happening… The scheme, his leadership by example. The guy is incredible… I've known that forever, but to see it up close is pretty special."

I’M HOLLERING.
In reference to the Ime/LeBron:
Shannon said: “If it was me I woulda said ‘You were messing with one of them, and it cost you your relationship’… Michelle Obama said ‘They go low we go high’…. They go low, I go to the basement.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

LeBron on when he realized he can become something greater than Michael Jordan:
“17 [years old]… I couldn’t even believe some of the sh*t that I was doing… I knew I could be LeBron, not Jordan, not Penny…”

LeBron James:
“I’m gonna play until I’m 40. Then, after 40, I’m gonna go all left hand until I’m 45. I’m gonna score 5,000 points with my left hand. Then I’ll be done.”
LeBron’s ICONIC 45-15-5 Game 6 at Boston was sparked by a late bus and a late arrival to the arena.
The Heat got to the game with 40 minutes on the clock, and LeBron said:
“Don’t worry about it.”
He then proceeded to have arguably his greatest game ever. 🐐

Shaq says he never heard a player say they feared LeBron James
"I've heard players say, including myself, 'I feared [Michael Jordan].' I've heard players in [Mario Chalmers's] generation say they feared Kobe. I've never really heard any player say they feared LeBron."

Rui is unable to corral the long rebound which turns into a corner three.
LeBron, along with the rest of the team, was visibly unpleased, so they got on him.
GOOD teams hold guys accountable, but makings of GREAT teams have guys that can take it and respond well to it.
Rui. 👏
The interviewer acting surprised is the most hysterical part.
LeBron is more clutch than every player mentioned here and is arguably the most clutch player ever.
The numbers do not lie.
From the 8:48 mark of the 4th:
LeBron JUMPER
LeBron LAYUP
AD JUMPER
LeBron FT
LeBron FT
LeBron 3PT
LeBron JUMPER
LeBron FT
LeBron 3PT
Scored 15 of the Lakers’ last 17 points.
Aaron Nesmith on playing LeBron for the first time:
“LeBron’s talking to my teammate, ‘This is what I’m gonna do to you… Throw my hand up… Put my right leg over yours… Fadeaway, and it’s gonna be a bucket.’ 30 seconds later… Bucket… Different.” 🐐

The DLo/AR/Rui/Bron/AD lineup:
— did’t play a SINGLE MINUTE on the floor together in the first 43 games of last season.
— had a 70% win percentage (23-10) when they STARTED (would’ve been higher than any other team in the league outside of Boston).

The Lakers have the most national TV games in the NBA next season:
1 — Lakers (39)
2 — Warriors (36)
3 — Celtics (34)
4 — Knicks (34)
5 — Mavericks (30)
6 — Suns (30)
LeBron James is STILL the face of the league. 👑
LeBron James ‘not being clutch’ is quite literally the BIGGEST LIE ever told in NBA history.
Not only is he clutch, but he’s the most clutch basketball player who’s ever lived.
LeBron’s longtime trainer, Mike Mancias, elaborates on when LeBron was ready to take the next step on his path to becoming the greatest in 2007. 💯
(via High Performance/YT)
Chris Broussard clearly doesn’t watch the basketball games.
He was on national TV carrying water for Darvin Ham today.
The Lakers are where they are because “LeBron doesn’t impact the game like he used to despite the numbers.”
If that’s your season’s takeaway, than you’re a 🤡
Flip LeBron and Steph’s Olympic performances and they would be rioting the streets with pitchforks if LeBron dared even be acknowledged for MVP after averaging 7 PPG for 67% of the tournament.
This isn’t an opinion, this is a fact.
Steve Kerr was ‘blown away’ by how hard and intense LeBron practices.
Kerr: “I went to Ty [Lue] and [Erik Spoelstra] and said 'Is this normal?'”
Spoelstra: “Everyday. Every drill. Every walk-through. Everyday.”

Darko Rajakovic on LeBron:

Mike Miller on what LeBron told him before Game 6 of the 2012 ECF vs. Boston:
“Killer, we’ll be fine. I’m shooting every bullet in my gun. I’m taking the clip out, and I’m throwing that. And then, I’m throwing the gun I have at them too.” 😳

INSANE FACT: It took LeBron James the SAME EXACT amount of games to get from 0-10K that it did for him to get from 30K-40K… 🤯

Larry Bird:
“I tell people, quit whining about LeBron. Enjoy him while he’s here. He’s unbelievable. He’s one of the greatest, if not the greatest ever.” 💯
Stephen A. Smith on LeBron/MJ:
“You know how I am about MJ… But, I have been watching LeBron lately and I’ve been going like, ‘Ah sh*t.’ He’s in his 21st season. What the hell is going on!? I have looked at him and went like, ‘I might…’” 😳

INSANE FACT:
The worst loss of Jordan’s career (44 points) took place when he was 38 years and 333 days old.
The worst loss of LeBron’s career (44 points) took place last night. Today, he is 38 years and 333 days old.

Isiah Thomas on LeBron James:

LeBron James elaborates on the ESPN commercial that aired before one of his nationally televised High School games.
No player in sports history ever faced this type of pressure.
He exceeded impossible expectations on his way to becoming the greatest player ever. 🐐
Y’all keep telling me Ham is “trolling.”
I would believe you if I didn’t have last season as a sample size.
Sure, this roster is versatile/can play different styles, but why are we even floating ideas of the 39-year-old playing an overcompensating 5 role at any point?
This is the commercial LeBron is referencing.
ESPN aired this before a High School game of his.
No player in sports history faced this time of pressure.
LeBron somehow exceeded impossible expectations. 🐐
LeBron’s 3PT shooting:
2022-23: 32.1%
2023-24: 41.0%
His 8.9% increase was the 4th largest in NBA history season to season (at least 300 attempts).

Kevin Durant and Kawhi Leonard making All-NBA 2nd team over LeBron James is a flatly wrong.
He had better seasons than both of them.
LeBron is no stranger to getting robbed.
