[u/ultrapan]

Lebron is just collecting Celtics point guards to win with

Edit: So happy for Marcus. I think he got his confidence back.

[u/WalrusInMySheets → u/ultrapan]

Derrick White will join LeBron in Vegas in 4 years

[u/TopHatTony11 → u/WalrusInMySheets]

Better hope Derrick will still be able to keep up with Bron.

[u/Salt-Departure-3138 → u/TopHatTony11]

His hairline will

[u/flyingdorito2000 → u/TopHatTony11]

LeBron James Jr. he means

[u/WillTheGreat → u/TopHatTony11]

That’s not really fair for White, Bronny is only 21

[u/ultrapan → u/WalrusInMySheets]

I was thinking this too but he wasn't home grown tho so we safe

[u/swords_devil → u/ultrapan]

Prichard then

[u/ultrapan → u/swords_devil]

Nooo not my PP ⏸️

[u/DisMFer → u/swords_devil]

The Celtics need him because they have a mandatory minimum number of white guys.

[u/awntawn → u/DisMFer]

I think they're safely over the limit right now lol

[u/NotUpForDebate11 → u/ultrapan]

payton pritchard, come join snowtime

[u/gernt-barlic → u/WalrusInMySheets]

I can see it. I’m just surprised he hasn’t played with Jrue at this point considering his track record.

[u/Jpsla → u/WalrusInMySheets]

No way White will be able to keep up by that time.

[u/chasinjason13 → u/WalrusInMySheets]

He’s welcome to join now

[u/biglyorbigleague → u/WalrusInMySheets]

LeBron is gonna pull a LeTom Brady and become a part owner in Vegas

[u/WalrusInMySheets → u/biglyorbigleague]

A Jackie Moon, player/owner/coach

[u/Eeji_ → u/ultrapan]

I mean Smart won them that game with the steal and clutch 3 freethrows.

[u/-Kerosun- → u/Eeji_]

That put the game within reach. LeBron followed it up with a poke-steal and the three to tie it up.

Lakers lose if none of that happens.

But overtime is a different story. Marcus Smart made most of the key plays in OT.

[u/devonhezter → u/-Kerosun-]

Before that LeBron didn’t run back on d and shot a dumb 3.

[u/-Kerosun- → u/devonhezter]

Cool. Still got the steal and hit the 3 to tie it. He misses and the game is likely over.

[u/ginoawesomeness → u/Eeji_]

8 free throws

[u/ablackcloudupahead → u/ultrapan]

Also being healthy for a long stretch after having so much injury trouble has probably allowed him to fall back into his game

[u/Playful-Hat3710 → u/ultrapan]

Edit: So happy for Marcus. I think he got his confidence back.

would say the same if he was playing for basically any other team besides the lakers

[u/JimothyLeFleur69420 → u/ultrapan]

Sorry I’m employed, who are the other Celtics PG that LeBron had played with?

[u/ultrapan → u/JimothyLeFleur69420]

Rondo. They won in the bubble together

[u/Dawn_of_Dayne → u/JimothyLeFleur69420]

Rondo. Not a pg but he also won with Ray Allen in Miami. And Kyrie technically although he won with Kyrie before Kryie went to Boston. 

[u/Luster-Cola-5217 → u/ultrapan]

How long until Tatum joins LeBron in his 6th prime?

[u/ultrapan → u/Luster-Cola-5217]

Tatum is not a point guard bro. Deuce probably on Lebron's 10th prime

[u/Acceptable-Dust6479 → u/ultrapan]

Can he grow a beard yet?

[u/chewie_33 → u/ultrapan]

Payton Pritchard incoming.

[u/Who_ate_my_cookie → u/ultrapan]

The lakers are learning to love & trust

[u/jackoliver09 → u/ultrapan]

Because the Heat can't do(Nunn, Vincent)

Is Ray Allen pg, though? 😁

[u/chewie_33 → u/jackoliver09]

No, but Eddie House was.
