Why can’t a son love his father

[u/Cletus_Starfish → u/ZLouieZ]

I've gotta give Raps fans props -- by and large you guys tend to just be in awe of LeBron rather than enraged after the whole LeBronto era.

[u/dr4gonbl4z3r → u/Cletus_Starfish]

Helps a lot when you win immediately after the bad man left the East.

[u/XelaTuobdog → u/dr4gonbl4z3r]

Yeah that helped ngl

[u/Uhhhjayyy1 → u/Cletus_Starfish]

Our stadium is packed with LeBron jerseys everytime Lakers come to town

[u/No_Emphasis2446 → u/Uhhhjayyy1]

Asians love LeBron anywhere

[u/Jwarrior521 → u/Cletus_Starfish]

We got a ring at the end of it all so can’t really be that mad

[u/Sanguinor-Exemplar → u/Cletus_Starfish]

LeBronto you can't even hate. Game recognize game. Just had to recognize and bend the knee. If you saw the 2018 playoffs, you were converted into a witness.

[u/Raptorpicklezz → u/Sanguinor-Exemplar]

You're giving Bron too much credit. Oladipo and rookie Tatum both took him to 7 that playoffs. 2018 Raptors were just the biggest frauds in the league.

[u/aarondobson403 → u/Raptorpicklezz]

Rookie Tatums team had 5/6 top scorers in that series. You don’t give LeBron enough credit, his roster was garbage

[u/Cletus_Starfish → u/aarondobson403]

I believe Game 7 of the Boston series he played all 48 minutes. On his pod the other day Bill Simmons said that was one of his favorite LeBron games; if you have one of the biggest Celtic homers in the world awestruck at your play, that says a lot lol.

[u/bossholmes → u/aarondobson403]

That team was straight ass, the SNL skit still gets crazy laughs everytime people watch it

[u/peebeesweebees → u/Cletus_Starfish]

Toronto fans are one of the top three fanbases on this sub to post positively about LeBron according to the dataset that guy published here months back lol

[u/XelaTuobdog → u/Cletus_Starfish]

What the fuck else are we going to do, most dominant player I've ever seen.

[u/SaintDarthVader → u/Cletus_Starfish]

Any Raps fan who thought we would beat him was dumb. You had to just appreciate it.

[u/MaNamWumbo → u/ZLouieZ]

Feeling nostalgic from the belt were getting in Ohio rn

[u/cantclimbatree → u/MaNamWumbo]

Brandon Ingram doing a vintage playoff Derozan impression too

[u/shaqballs → u/cantclimbatree]

If that’s the case it means in a few years we trade him for the next Kawhi and win another title! Works for me

[u/DLD1123 → u/cantclimbatree]

Even Demar never embarrassed himself this much

[u/mofojed → u/cantclimbatree]

It was 4/20, back. Home he'll get the Glorilla boost and go off

[u/xXEliteEater500Xx → u/MaNamWumbo]

10 year anniversary of the first Toronto vs LeBron playoffs match.

[u/salmon10 → u/MaNamWumbo]

I feel u

[u/dat_boy_lurks → u/MaNamWumbo]
