MJ would never miss that many 3s..what a bum
They should just rest him for full games here and there like they do in european soccer
The expectations on a 38 year old is crazy.
Bron needs to honestly forget about trying to make 3’s! When will he recognize that fault in his game???? Forget about it! Give the team a chance at winning by not doing any 3 at all! If they don’t wrap this series up tonight, they might as well plan their fishing trip!!
The HC didn't pull Lebron cause he wants to keep his job. that's it. Nick would be the 1st person say they should fire him.
Lebron has the most missed shots and 3s in playoff history and turnovers as well. He needs to post up more if his legs are too tired to drive. Jacking up all those 3s doesn't help his team.
Lebron should go all out this game and AD, game 6 is life or death game
I gotta agreed i had the Lakers winning in 6 if the Grizzlies win tonight we are in trouble
Ham is D.mb, so d.mb he couldn't see Beasly has gone so icy cold that Alaska feels like Mexico!
The end is here not near we’re in the last chapter of Brons career
Can we talk about Darvon ham putting the same lineup out there 2 times in a row that killed lakers chances? They went down 17 the first time and then 24 the second time. Like was he watching the game?? Mediocre coach
Nobody apologizes for LeBrons bad play more than Nick, Nobody
Took y’all FOREVER to upload this one lol🤦♂️ If La woulda won you woulda had 3 different segments uploaded early morning. Memphis in 7 🤡
Shouldn’t brooks get credit for his defense in the last couple games. If he didn’t run his mount he would get more credit even if he was playing terribly which he is on offense.
Wilds says he can’t be the greatest ever in year 20 having a bad game? Hahaha like what
“The end of the shot clock.” He has to take those because he dribbles the air out of the ball for 20 seconds and then has to.

That take people keep using for him. That he is 38 of course he is was tires. I'm like if thats the case then maybe he should retire, or come of the bench. He wants to keep playing at his age, so lets stop giving him an excuse. Also I know he has helped them win a game here & there. Overall though, the Lakers look like a better team when he doesn't play alot of the times. Nobody will admit that though, more than likely. Its not a knock on him, since this is what happens when players age. Lebron is highly accomplished, multiple time champion, multiple finals mvp's, records on top more records. It is,what it is, lets just stop making excuses for a player being almost 40 that continues to step on yhe floor. Kinda like injuries, if you play. Then Nobody wants to hear, " if you lose, it was because you were hurt." If you're really that hurt, then dont play.
I found more than 6 games where lebum had horrible playoff games 🤡🤡🤡🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lebum gets THE MOST excuses out of EVERY superstar EVER 🤡🤣🤣
Let's see if the Lakers bring the refs to game 6? The NBA is the new WWE completely rigged
Some what contested shots? Where his standing by himself not moving waiting to shot lol Nicks a fool on purpose 😢
its funny how they tae it easy on lebron…if westbrook shot 1-9 he would be the laughing stock of the media
Brooks game sorta reminds me is andre roberson hahahah
Lakers will will by 40 points! Who wanna bet?!
Nick Wrong gunna leave FTF and media when his husband LeBron retires cuz he won’t have anything positive to say about any other nba player💀
Commenting here after the 40 point beat down…good team win
LeBron would have his legs if Ham didn't play him as a center
God bless everyone and have a good day,,
Not particularly solid, Kevin. They walked over Memphis by 40.
LBJ is 100% the best ever, Kevin.
Kareem was 38 and Finals MVP, and he wasn’t 1/2 as skilled as LBJ, who is also age 38.
Stick to being funny.
Bron need to look down at the ball every time he shoot a 3. Cause he don’t be missing that weak jab step he be doing 😂
