Lebron Turns 37 in 6 months. If he does not win a chip next year to make it 5 I don't think he will ever get to 6. If he doesnt win next year he will be 38-39 trying to win his 6th chip...Next year is big for him if he deosnt win he never catching Mike.

Bron doesn’t have his athleticism to even do all his attacking drawing fouls monster slams , and-1 shyt . He better be in the gym this summer not just doing body management for his age but his jumper midrange game better develop
it is two teams with a different time zone

I watched a video from the 2013 playoffs and he was killing them with the midrange, mastering that again would be very helpful for old Bron.

I just wish they were fully healthy so there would be no excuses. Lakers Defense was top notch. Booker should go off on Denver

Chris Paul was injured and horrible the first 3 games, AD was injured the last 3 games. The difference is the Suns are a better overall team. The Suns won a game without Chris Paul and stayed competitive through the worst times. The Lakers threw in the towel after AD got hurt.

The media and some fans can make all the excuses they want, but the better team won the series:manny:.

What?

Jordan won a championship at 36 (and 35 and 34) and then retired. Then he came back at 39 playing for the trash Washington Wizards, lol. What are you talking about?
That was his age 35 season, the same season Bron won his last championship. At the twilight of Jordan's career he was struggling to make the playoffs. This is the same stage in Bron's career, he's in his 18th season.. Why is Jordan failing to make the playoffs in both his 14th and 15th seasons acceptable but Bron losing in the first round in his 18th season not?

All hell will break loose if these Nets win 2 or god forbid 3.

Because he already had more rings than LeBron and retired twice by the time it happened. LeBron is trying to play catch up and he's on borrowed time. It's acceptable for him to lose but he's running out of time to secure that resume.

Huh?

Michael was 36 when he won his championship and LeBron would have been 36 if he won this year. LeBron and Michael’s birthdays are only 2 months apart. LeBron essentially turned 36 2 months before MJ, season wise. All that stuff you’re talking is a serious reach...

Furthermore Jordan was failing to make the playoffs at 39 and 40, or 38 and 39 if you want to use his age at the beginning of the season. That’s not the same. Not to mention, he didn’t have anyone near the talent level of AD on his team. AD, when healthy, is a top 5-10 player. You’re comparing apples to oranges trying make it the same by using phrases like “twilight of his career.” Nah nikka, Jordan was 39 and had a trash team. You still gotta wait a couple years or to compare LeBron to that stage of MJs career.

The only thing I’ll give you is that LeBron has played more seasons and more games. But saying they were Jordan’s 14th and 15th seasons is disingenuous because he came into the league later and he had retired twice already before those two season. You’re ignoring context to make a point.

What? Jordan turned 35 in February 1998.. his final playoffs with the Bulls were two months after that. He turned 36 in 1999, the year he retired.

Jordan might have been 38 but his legs were fresher than age 36 Bron due to the amount of years MJ missed from retirement. Bron is in his 18th season after several years of deep playoff runs.. How exactly are they not comparable? He's clearly not the same caliber of player he once was (no athlete is 18 years in the game) and yet folks are acting as if this was some embarrassing loss he suffered in his prime. You're right, AD is a top 10 player in the league when healthy and that's precisely why they lost.. because he wasn't healthy. So an old Lebron losing in the first round as a 7th seed after suffering a major injury earlier in the year with his best teammate out for several games is worthy of excessive criticism but an old MJ failing to make the playoffs in a weak conference isn't because.. MJ was old?

Today there are better supplements, training, and physical therapy, science, stem cells, peptides, lasers, better updated studies to help athletes heal in 2021 than in 1996...This IS a factor too Mike didnt have all that

Thats what I said and everyone clowning me on here...I also think Jesus saved bron in Miami when Pop had dunkin on the bench in the last min...that was VERY lucky to win that Chip

and by Jesus I mean Ray Allen

If Bron doesnt win next year he will be 38 going in the 2022-2023 season if he wins one then he will have 5 and he will not win a chip at 39 cause no team building around him that late in his career he will have to be traded and added to an existing team.
