Before there was Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, and Diddy, there was E-40, a Bay area emcee who was the first rapper to receive a multi-million dollar deal.

You know what…

Maybe it’s a good thing LeBron James is considering retirement, because maybe, just maybe, people will FINALLY come back down to earth and realize we were holding a player to the most ludicrous and unrealistic expectations known to sport for 20 years.

Last night’s game was the latest example, as a 38 year old LeBron James in his 20th season with an injured foot played 48 minutes and was asked and expected, to literally do it all.

For context, James has played in 282 playoff games, that’s the equivalent of nearly 3 and a half regular seasons. Throw in USA basketball and his heavy minutes, and LeBron’s mileage mirrors a workload of someone in their 24th NBA season.

But it’s not enough, it’s not enough for the fans, the haters, even the “expert” commentators who expect this one man to do the unthinkable every single second, of every single game.

In an elimination game on his home floor, he was the only Laker to leave it all out there. He scored 31 points in the first half - the most of his playoff career. But again, it wasn’t enough for people, he wasn’t allowed to be gassed in the second half, he wasn’t allowed to not have 50, he wasn’t allowed to miss a game winner.

The icing on the cake was Jeff Van Gundy, who midway through the third quarter says “And if I’m the Lakers, I’m having LeBron guard Nikola Jokic” despite supposedly the best defender in the NBA Anthony Davis standing there watching a 38 year old exhausted do his defensive job because he couldn’t, and chose not to rise to that challenge in the series.

But again, LeBron did what was necessary, he guarded Jokic, he switched on to Jamal Murray, all while taking perhaps the last ounces of energy he had left in his career.

I don’t blame LeBron one bit if he chooses to call it a day. In truth, all things considered, I’m surprised he’s lasted this long.

Only when he officially retires and walks away from the game for good will people understand who he was, and the impossible individual burden he had to carry on and off the court.

I’m glad I wasn’t one of them, and I feel sorry for the people who could never see it, or worse never accept it.

If it’s “rigged” and the “NBA wants him to win”, why does he only have 4 titles instead of ten or so? 🤔

LakeShow upgraded on a couple things, but the Western Conference is a gauntlet… so they still might not get in 🥲
I’m glad someone besides Utah has shown interest in Brodie.. Hate to see him forced out of the league. Gotta fix those turnovers, although I think it’s over for adding a steady jumper to his bag..
