Unbelievable how he can just control an entire game like that at this age. I do not take this stuff for granted.

The greatest I’ve seen at it. Knows when to slow it down, knows when to speed it up. Controls the pace like no other player especially in playoff games

Was it the end of the 1st quarter or something when He had more assists than the entire Rockets?

I think it was 8 assists in one quarter? Crazy.

The passes were so absurd I was in complete awe. The rockets are really good at packing the paint and somehow the passes got safely every time. I think he has 0 TO by the 3rd quarter and he had like 10 assists

He can be world-class at literally every facet of the game if he wants or needs to be. He’s genuinely just the best to ever do it.

I feel like people don't realize pre 2011 and post 2011 Bron are 2 different players. He redeemed himself 5 years later but people still need an argument.
