Lakers doing their usual at Portland where at the half they are down 25

 

[Steve williams]

What a game this Lakers game became as they came back from a 25 point deficit at the half to overtake the Blazers at 98-97 and close at the Blazers in Portland 121-112

Lakers record improves to 22-25

Looking at the WC standings today all of 2 1/2 games separate the 6 team from the 13 as they all have either 24 or 25 losses.

Warriors lose again this time to the Nets and are only a game ahead of the Lakers. This leaves such a toss up between who will be in and who won't be in the playoffs. It will be interesting to see what happens by the trade deadline

Middleton and Giannis return for the Bucks as they roll once again. And what a strange night that the Celts lose by 15 to lowly Orlando.

I also noticed that Memphis loses to the Kings. Last year I thought the Kings would be spoilers in the finals but they faded all too quickly. This year IMO is a different year for the Kings as their team is very competitive as the rankings show.

One has to believe that the playoffs will be filled with surprises this year

this doesn't bode well for the Nets.....

Nets' Kevin Durant (knee) out at least 2 more weeks​

The superstar forward will begin running and on-court basketball activities this week.

Tough loss tonight at Miami for the Celts who trailed slightly most of the game and caught the Heat in the final minute only to lose on the last shot of the game. All without Jimmy Butler

and of course the Lakers lost again last night to the Clipps. The Lakers haven't beaten the Clippers since the bubble . Of course all the scoring goes through LeBron and of course he score 46 which puts him about 7-10 games away from breaking Kareem's record but does anyone care

Sad to say, one man cares and he's the most powerful man in the league. Adam Silver.

To be broadcast globally? Hell the only person Ive seen get that is the Pope on Christmas Eve and now LeBron

My guess is that LeBron called Adam by his first name and said - beam me up around the world on that game.

I truly don't get this that this is being broadcast globally. Is it that newsworthy as it is going to make him many hundreds of $M's richer from endorsements alone

 

[Steve williams]

Most people remember where they were when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon and that was a global transmission BUT how many people 3 generations from now will know or even care where they were when he scored and the world stood still

I was just thinking, Lebron has devised and marketed himself very well, since The Decision broadcast. And I think that David Stern and now Adam Silver have spotted the 'face' of the NBA for making the league a worldwide event. The only chance for someone to beat that scoring title in the top 15 list would be KD, as all others have retired or passed away. KD needs to make 12,000+ points to get a global event for himself, but I don't think he's interested in that.

I remember when I visited you guys in Manila. Coming from the airport to Jacks house I remember the first billboard I saw in Manila was a picture of LeBron.

That's right Steve. The guy is super popular in this country, and basketball is the no. 1 sport here. There are more lovers than haters here One of my younger friends who I met recently told me this about LeBron - that's want greatness is all about. I have to write a small book to counter that.
