The One-Man Wrecking Machine

They don't call him King James for nothing. But this King has to do it all, by himself. Everyone following the NBA this season knows the Cleveland Cavaliers had a mid-season crisis, and decided dismantling half the team to bring in fresh faces was the solution. They struggled for the rest of the season.

Fast forward to the Eastern Conference Playoffs. In most of the games, if it wasn't for the heroics of King James, the cavs would have been knocked out.

Hey bro, didn't know you are following NBA. These days, I no longer follow sports. The only thing I am following are crypto prices. Haha..

That too! Blood on the streets, time to buy.

Volume is increasing. I think we should be starting a new alt cycle soon. Fingers crossed..

It's rather impressive that Lebron is playing the best basketball of his career at 33 years of age after 15 very long seasons that usually ran deep into the playoffs. Unfortunately he has run into a similar scenario in Cleveland where he hasn't been given the help needed to be competitive in the finals. I wonder what his priorities will be this offseason (winning or family) which will play a big factor on where he is playing next year.

Lebron's too dominant. But there's only so much one can do. Against lesser teams in the early stages, he could do with minimal help, but against 4 All-Stars in Warriors, the task becomes insurmountable.

He could team up with Paul George in the off-season, but whether its in LA or Cleveland, remains to be seen. Or he could end up in Houston (this scenario seems rather far-fetched though).

Given he probably only has a few more years (2?) left in the tank, in his shoes, I'll go for glory - winning. Wouldn't you @ross-early?

A report was released yesterday that he will be going to the Lakers and hopes to team up with Paul George. Supposedly four sources in the entertainment business believe this is the case because his team is already making moves behind the scenes to further his business ventures.

The thought is that Lebron isn't as concerned with winning anymore and is more focused on his family and life after basketball. Los Angeles is a city that will provide him endless business opportunities that he can pursue long after he is done playing.

We will know if winning is still the most important thing once he chooses where he is going to play. I definitely see him leaving Cleveland so it's just a matter of where he wants to take his talent. I also think he has two years of dominate basketball left in him. It will be an exciting free agency this summer for sure.

Free agency will be more exciting than the Finals, for sure! @ross-early you have a valid point. His post-NBA career would be also a major factor.

But no matter where Lebron chooses to ply his trade, life still goes on for us. Hahahha cheers!
