i thought bron bron and a.d. would give the nuggets hell or some sort..they say they remember…but they did remember they lost and did it again..and instead of getting a payback them lakers payed again with heads down like wussies
Lakers are not going anywhere for a longggggggg time James destroyed it
5:08 “Got it!”
Lj favorite letter LLLLLL
This was definitely a statement game for the Nuggets. I look forward to the Lakers winning one at home.
All the trash talking what the Lakers wanted to do to the Nuggets.
Lebron James did not get his ankels broken.This man put his shoe in lebron shoe
As a lakers fan we already knew AD was the problem
Love to see LeBron asking for a call every time the Nuggets get a bucket 😂
At the 1:47 mark, even when Nikola Jokic is getting some rest on the bench he is far back in the background. Guy has zero ego and no desire to be in the spotlight.
Who's your daddy?!!😂
I love how LeFlated Lebron looks every time Denver knocks down a 3, either in his face or otherwise
It pairs up well with his extra-ness after every time he scores a basket
The lakers have no identity offensively
All they do is attempt to play like the better team they’re playing
They think they’re Denver when they play Denver, they think they’re golden state when they’re playing golden state, etc
That defense lebron played on Aaron Gordon or lack thereof then he shows his frustration at the made basket as if to indicate he doesn’t know that other nba players are able to knock down 3’s like Steph Curry too
7:30…
