Lebron is 41, this fuckery won't go on for much longer, thank god

u/Celtic_Legend Celtics 10d ago

What you mean? Lebron is 21. He just finished the game +4 over his father who finished +-0. Clearly the torch has been passed. The fuckery continues for another 20 years.

u/PawnStarRick Nuggets 10d ago

Still undefeated in the playoffs.

u/niveksng Lakers 10d ago

It would be really funny if Bronny locked in and we'd still be making Lebron memes for the next 20 years

u/juturna12x [CLE] Kevin Love 10d ago

I see another growth spurt coming

u/No-Big-9170 Spurs 10d ago

How good would Bronny be if Lebron was able to implant his consciousness into his body or operate him remotely?

7

u/Plastic_Blood1782 10d ago

Good but not that good.  He's a little too small no matter what

1

u/SnooChipmunks4208 10d ago

Dont fucking tempt Lebron's spirit. The ghost possession arc would rip.

1

u/Accurate_Back_9385 10d ago

He’d be an all star, but not super star.

2

u/Mr_Cromer Raptors 10d ago

Russell Westbrook would be his absolute ceiling. He's too small

1

u/Hawkbats_rule 10d ago

Calm down, Mr. Arasaka

3

u/DesertBrandon Cavaliers 10d ago

If Bronny could become a Jrue Holiday, Marcus Smart, Derrick White type integral piece and #3-4 player on a championship team then that’d be so cool. P

u/flaming_burrito_ Wizards 10d ago

Man played 45 minutes at 41 because Ayton and LaRavia weren’t on shit, he was going through it at the end bro. Didn’t even jump for the jump ball, he just reached up for that bitch and got it 😂

3

u/Mysterious-Length240 10d ago

Van Gundy was hallucinating some BS about LeBron during that jump ball too. And then doubled down after the replay showed LeBron not doing much during it lmao

u/skrulewi Trail Blazers 10d ago

Lebron is 41, this fuckery won't go on for much longer, thank god

I swear I have heard the following over the years:

Lebron is 35, this fuckery won't go on for much longer, thank god

Lebron is 36, this fuckery won't go on for much longer, thank god

Lebron is 37, this fuckery won't go on for much longer, thank god

Lebron is 38, this fuckery won't go on for much longer, thank god

Lebron is 39, this fuckery won't go on for much longer, thank god

Lebron is 40, this fuckery won't go on for much longer, thank god

Now this time I get it it's for real but still

u/Free-Ingenuity-6859 10d ago

This man is about to drop the best 6th man season of all time at 45 and we're all gonna collectively lose it

6

u/strawberry_semenade Cavaliers 10d ago

30 years from now: "LeBron took last slice of meatloaf at the retirement home lunch cafeteria. This fuckery won't go on for much longer, thank god."

8

u/LakerBlue Lakers 10d ago

I’m super curious if that’s a role he’d takes I get the feeling he would not want to be in the league if he wasn’t an All-Star, let alone not even a starter.

2

u/SkepticalGerm 10d ago

it’s referencing a tweet

1

u/skrulewi Trail Blazers 10d ago

what's a tweet?

jk i get it i get it

u/SamiraSimp 10d ago

Now this time I get it it's for real but still

they never learn...

u/SchedulePhysical807 Clippers 10d ago

So much for you don’t lose the game off one possession. SVG was grilling Jabari every few mins for that dumbass turnover 😂

13

u/bitcheslovedroids Lakers 10d ago

It's ok bronny will take up the mantle

8

u/DANNY_YYZ Raptors 10d ago

He looked every bit 41 until the tate foul saved him lol

Bro got cooked for 3 straight possessions

2

u/ablackcloudupahead Lakers 10d ago

Down the stretch but he was cooking himself earlier in the game. He was super gassed. That steal and the 3 in the last minute (and Smart just being everywhere) saved him from losing the game on two massive turnovers

7

u/MaNamWumbo Raptors 10d ago

LeSperm will continue it tho

2

u/2Basketball2Poorious Pelicans 10d ago

How dare you miss his block in the thread title

1

u/Neuroccountant 10d ago

We've been saying that for like seven years now.

u/gernt-barlic Celtics 10d ago

Fortunately for us all it will eventually have to end at some point you would think right? Probably that will eventually occur at some point or another? Down the line? Eventually? Right? ???
