2/25: The Big One™. The game we’ve all been waiting for since Nico Harrison lost his ever-loving mind a month ago. Luka’s old team in his new home. AD’s return to LA.1 The first time LeBron has been well and truly 2nd on the marquee since…
However long it’s been, the King did not care, leading LA with 27 points and continuing to be a P R O B L E M in transition.. Luka filled the stat sheet (19/15/12/3/2) and we saw hints that LeBron might turn back into the efficiency monster of his Miami days with 65/50/75 shooting splits.
Elsewhere, Jordan Brand’s advertising heater2 continued with a dead-simple Luka spot posted to social channels before the game:3
2/27: Against the Wolves, it was more of the same. Lakers had Ant so mad he got ejected and suspended after his 16th tech of the season. 30 piece for LeBron. 4 in a row.
2/28: Clippers on a back-to-back. Win streak extended to 5. 30 for Luka in this one, only 28 for Bron.
3/2: Clippers again on Sunday night. LA’s other team went scoreless for SEVEN FULL MINUTES into halftime before staging a furious comeback that fell just short. Six wins in a row, 38-21, 3rd in the West.
A crucial block with 30 seconds left highlighted an otherwise quiet night for LeBron, but he’s just one point away from a milestone we’ll cover next week…
The fuckery continues.

Look at what this man has done since turning 40:
What did I say up there about Luka turning the clock back to Miami for LeBron? Because it’s real. It’s too real.
