Back to commenting on this topic... yes, LeBron James for his age, he's still very athletic! I believe he is one of the most well-arounded players the NBA has ever had.
Depending on the situation and your athleticism, I share with you that LeBron James will be able to play after 40 years.

Lebron James is still in a great shape to continue playing in NBA for many more years indeed. Despite his current age, his performance level is very high now. He is one of the most special players in NBA history undoubtedly. And he is a legend at the same time. And I wonder whether we will see him at another team before he retires or he will decide to end his career at Lakers. As he won a championship with Lakers also maybe he could look for another adventure later.

There's a lot of speculation that Lebron might be waiting for his son to enter the NBA and hoping that they can play along for at least a season before he retires.

So with that, I think he will continue to play in his 40's and also protect his body so that he can keep up and still be athletic at that age. Not sure if he can catch up Karl Malone in the second position as all time scoring leaders, maybe that's one of his goals as well.
He is going 37 this year and still he got this athleticism and the ability to at least become a leader of the team and to carry the team.

I've heard that speculation too and I think there are rumors too that there is also a chance that him and his son will be on the same team although I can't remember where I read this rumor. LeBron is 37 years old right now and currently 3rd in the scoring leaders and the difference between him and Malone in career points is around 1100 pts and him and the top scoring leader which is Kareem is around 2500 pts. Kareem retired at 42 years old.

Do you think that LeBron can surpass Kareem's career points in the span of 5 years seeing how he is playing right now? For me, I think that there is a chance knowing that his average right now is 25 PPG. If this continues in the next years I think he can be the top scoring leader in NBA history.

We can't conclude about that, only he who can decide whether he will stay and retire his jersey with LA or he has another plan in the future.

He's still fit from my own view to play for another 2-3 season. If he got something to add on his resume, playing alongside with his son is what a father

Will always dream. Bronny will be boosted if he will be playing side by side with his own mentor.

We never know until it happened... Wink

There's a lot of speculation that Lebron might be waiting for his son to enter the NBA and hoping that they can play along for at least a season before he retires.

That discussion was already in a talk before. It's not that Lebron is waiting but it's actually possible that Bronny can be drafted in the NBA. Lebron was drafted at 19 years old. Bronny is 17 and just 2 years later he can also be drafted. However, Lebron is a big thing during his college days and playing like a professional player already that's why he is popular already at a young age.

Bronny James so far is just popular because he is Lebron's son but still lacks game impact but we don't know what will be his status 2 years from now. Lebron will be 38 years old when Bronny might be possible to draft. He is still athletic at 36 years old and probably will maintain it until close to 40 years of age.

Bronny is popular because of Lebron James, it's a common sense, his father is the king of basketball, so we are expecting him as a prince that will be good as his father. However, I don't think he will be as good as his father, maybe he has the talent but he won't be near his father in terms of success, I hope I'm wrong but that's what I see on him now.

I think Bronny will be good in his own right, no need to compare him to his legendary father.

And yes, if ever he will make it to the NBA, I think he will be great as well and will carve up his own name in the game. Hopefully, in 2 years time and Lebron is still playing that time, we might see them both on the floor playing against or together.

The Lakers vs Timberwolves game today is crowded both in the court and the online stream again. Hope to see Isiah Thomas doing his best to regain his credibility and somehow get an extension or sign in by other teams. But the Minnesota is not an easy opponents especially when the rookie Edwards is playing well, in his last game he just managed to score 30+ points, if they can stop him in the early quarters, that would be good advantage for the Lakers.

But Davis seems out for the rest of the game after a possible injury, need more updates on this one.
Correct me but the Lakers are more effective and efficient if they are playing small ball. With Davis doesn't want to play at the 5, the Lakers are forced to put 2 7 footers at the same time causing the pace of the team to be slower. If they are better at small ball then they must continue to do it and Thomas had a good debut having 19 points in 5/11 shooting. I think this is a good stat already and if this continues, the 10-day contract might be changed to a longer contract and I hope this will happen.

Davis had an injury last season and now it seems like he be sitting for quite some time after getting an injury. Injuries are inevitable but I just hope that this injury that he got will not be a season-ending injury for him or else his value might decrease (hope not).

Milwaukee Bucks played an away game against New Orleans Pelicans last night. Bucks definitely felt Giannis' absence I think but they still had a great game even though they lost by 116-112. Jrue Holiday was definitely the player of the game as he got 40 points, 5 rebounds and 5 asssists. He was the top scorer of the game also. But he still had a 50% field goal made ratio which shows he missed too much also. But he still played a big role in Bucks' staying in the game surely.
And it was a new career high for Jrue Holiday. 40 points. He tried his best even without Portis, Giannis, and Middleton. It actually ended up good as it proves how he could lead a team even when he is surrounded by their 2nd team. Grayson Allen is next to him with 25 points.
It's Jonas Valanciunas from the opposing team that made the difference. The Bucks team are being absorbed to him when posting up because there is no one who can fully defend him. But he is just so skillful to find ways and pass it to an open man.
That's how good the Bucks are, even without some of their players are out, they are still competing. We have to remember that they are the defending champion, and yet they are still an underrated team until now. What if this team will have a complete and healthy squad, I'm pretty sure they can beat any team in the NBA and I believe they really have a big shot for a repeat even if the Nets are currently the number 1 team in the East now.

Fck Milwaukee Bucks destroy my 6 game parlay with 27 odds. I thought they can best NOP in a fair match without Giannis. Bookmaker is so nasty by giving an odds still in favor of Bucks with current roster. I wish I click the cash-out button when I still have time.  Undecided

Any news on health condition of Giannis, I will stay away from now on betting with bucks, They seems not consistent right now.

It's on the news that Milwaukee Bucks top scorers are currently out of the game for days now because of health protocols. You should think twice about betting on them especially you are including them on your Parlay bet. They can destroy a perfect parlay. They did their best in that game against Pelicans but that team also gave their best. It's hard to put a bet on any team even against a much-low team if the main scorers are out.

Yeah, I admit that mistake is on me. I was choosing a parlay base on what's the available game today. The odds set of bookmaker is still on favor with bucks that's why I didn't research first and assume everything is fine on there roster. I also check there line up on Google NBA records and I forgot that they are not excluding player that's not active on the roster list.

Although my bet on that parlay is just small. The possible is so big and I'm still thinking about it until now.  Cheesy

Golden State Warriors still maintain a good winning streak. They defeated Boston Celtics this time last night and the result was 111-107. It was another really good night for Curry that he got 30 points. He had a less than 50% success rate on his 3-pointer attempts but this is still a good performance to me. He was the most scorer of the team again and Wiggins also played really well by 27 points.

Looks like Kyrie is back with the Nets, at least for the road games for now:

With the unfolding circumstances of Brooklyn’s season – including injuries, Covid losses and an inordinate minutes load on their superstar players – the Nets are bringing back All-Star guard Kyrie Irving as a part-time player for games outside of New York.
Well, its a good thing that Kyrie will be back after not playing almost a third of the season.

Durant and Harden are having a hard time carrying the team especially these 2 players are prone to injuries so I think if Kyrie will be back, at least these 2 players will have a lesser playing time to have more time to rest. The question is that will he help the team if he comes back or it will be the complete opposite and the team will play worse when he comes back Cheesy. Lets see their future games with him and decide from that Smiley.

Sooner or later Kyrie needs to play and help them. Although they are on top, but as you have, Durant and Harden can't carry them all the time and Kyrie is the 3rd man in the equation.

I'm sure Kyrie will be a big help for them, maybe it can disrupt their chemistry, but we all know that this star players have adjusted to each other already so I don't see him coming back becoming a problem to the team itself.

But Davis seems out for the rest of the game after a possible injury, need more updates on this one.

That game was ugly.  Felt like the Lakers were being bullied out there.  Twitter is trending with the topic of trading Anthony Davis.  It won't happen of course but it shows that the fans are fed up with him being injured and not dominating games.  I think he should sit out for a while and let Dwight Howard take his minutes.  That's the only way they're winning a championship in my opinion. 

Did you see Patrick Beverly's antics in the second quarter?  Man he's annoying, but it's crazy seeing hall of famers getting taunted like that.
I don't think that trading Davis is the best solution long term for the Lakers. Just so happen that he has suffered another injury and can't play 100% this season. I think the blame should be in the coach, in my opinion.

And yes it was ugly but it was expected that the Lakers are going to lose, I have the Wolves -4.5 and it was a sweet win. Not that I'm not a fan of Lakers, but the Wolves just take advantage of the opportunity.

Sorry for the lost mate, me too was trapped with a -3.5 for the Bucks. I only thought that was just Giannis who are going to missed the games, but Portis and Middelton too. So it was a very tough game for the Bucks with Giannis and Khris on the roster. Although Holiday did everything, as they go into OT, but they fell short. Maybe it's better to bet in-game now to see who is going to play or not. And I would say that Bucks is not consistent, it's that players are absent due to injuries and safety and health protocols imposed by NBA.

Holiday did try to lift the Bucks, he did well with 40 points but ain't enough to snatch this game.

NOP use their advantages to win this game even it takes another extra 5 mins, a win still a win for them.

Much better to bet during the live event when you are not sure about the players condition, though the odd might not be the

same but the chance to assess the game well will be your advantage.

Move on and better luck next time! Wink
