Paul Pierce wonders if Lakers’ LeBron James voted him as the GOAT

Paul Pierce has a theory…

During a recent poll conducted by The Athletic, it turned out that former Boston Celtics star Paul Pierce got a lone vote for the Greatest of All Time honor from an unnamed player.

Could that lone vote be from Los Angeles Lakers superstar forward LeBron James? Pierce is not eliminating that theory.

While on Tuesday’s episode of FS1’s Undisputed, Pierce wondered about the possibility that it was the leader of the Lakers who cast that GOAT vote.

“What if LBJ voted for me?” Pierce asked Keyshawn Johnson and Skip Bayless. “I played against him, he must think something. What do you think about that? What do you think about that? We had a lot of battles. Come on now, we had some tough battles. We had some tough battles. It could have been LB.”

Was it LeBron James who voted for Paul Pierce as the GOAT?

Indeed, long before James first signed with the Lakers, he and Pierce used to have plenty of head-to-heads back in their days in the Eastern Conference when the four-time league Most Valuable Player was still suiting up for the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Miami Heat. James is definitely familiar with what type of a basketball player Pierce was on the court and he can’t deny that Pierce was a terrific baller and fierce competitor. After all, Pierce has an NBA ring, is a 10-time NBA All-Star, and is part of the NBA 75th Anniversary Team.

All that being said, it is still surprising to many to see Pierce get a vote as the greatest basketball player to ever set foot on a court. That vote must have been from someone who didn’t take the exercise too seriously. Imagine all the legends of the game that that voter had to mentally ignore in order to come down with a conclusion that Pierce is the all-time best player in basketball history. That means, that from that voter’s perspective, based on his vote, Pierce had a better career than the likes of Lakers great Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, and Tim Duncan, among others, and let alone Michael Jordan and James.

Pierce did not directly say it, but he must have been just as surprised as so many people when he learned that someone actually voted for him as the GOAT.

What Lakers must do to win Game 3 over Nuggets after shocking collapse

“Shocking” might be the only word in the dictionary fit to describe the Los Angeles Lakers’ 101-99 collapse against the Denver Nuggets in Game 2 of the first round of the NBA Playoffs. And with good reason, too.

With 7:15 left in the third quarter, LeBron James and company were given a 95.6 percent chance to send the series back to Los Angeles even.

They’d already fallen short after playing from behind for most of the second half in Game 1, but this time was different. This time, Denver was the one trailing.

After the first five minutes of the third quarter, a 19-point lead separated the Lakers from the Nuggets. Soon after that, it was 20.

The Lakers knew closing out the game would be an even bigger battle than building the lead was in the first place, but they felt ready for the challenge. Only, they weren’t.

Denver clawed its way back throughout the remainder of the half and eventually tied the contest with under a minute remaining. James missed a wide-open 3-point attempt on Los Angeles’ final possession, and then came Jamal Murray.

“A 20-point lead in this league, it’s not safe,” James said on the postgame podium. “Especially against the defending champion. We’ve got to do better, but we had our chances.”

The Lakers did. They had an entire half to stave off Nikola Jokic and Murray, but in a hostile environment, just weren’t able to get it done. In short, Game 1 proved the Lakers’ inability to win while playing from behind, and Game 2 proved the Nuggets’ ability to do that exact thing.

So, what about Game 3? How can Los Angeles knock off the defending champions after two straight losses?

The answer may seem like a simple ask, but is much more complicated. After all, a team losing 10 games in a row to another suggests a clear disparity in talent, but that’s not the case. Los Angeles has talent, with James, Anthony Davis, D’Angelo Russell, Rui Hachimura and Austin Reaves, among others. Whether beating Denver is possible isn’t the issue.

But if the Lakers do want to steal a game, or come back in the series for that matter, they have their work cut out for them.

Lakers must avoid cold streaks

First of all, the Lakers should get some credit. After being swept by the Nuggets a year ago, they showed some promise over the first two games of this series. It didn’t look like Los Angeles was out of the reigning champs’ league, especially in Game 2.

If the Lakers wants to steal Game 3 at home, they will certainly have to bring the same level of offense they did on Monday night—well, at least in the first three quarters. Before the fourth quarter commenced, Davis had north of 30 points, Russell was shooting the lights out and James was making circus and-1s.

The 20-point lead Los Angeles built wasn’t luck by any means. But neither was the collapse.

The Lakers went cold as the Nuggets found their stride, victim to a 14-5 run entering the fourth quarter. Ball Arena began to buzz again after it was silenced, and by the the crowd it was at its loudest, it Los Angeles that went silent.

Step one for the Lakers is achieving that same offensive production without a cold streak. Yes, they showed they were capable of shutting down Jokic for periods of time, but between the other weapons Denver has and their veteran experience, going cold is never an option—especially down the stretch. Davis has played a huge role in Los Angeles’ success this season, so him notching another 30-point performance is almost going to be required for Los Angeles to beat the Nuggets.

And then there’s Russell.

Russell lost his favor with Lakers faithful a year ago after a large disparity between his shooting abilities in the regular season and playoffs. Where he was an X-factor in the regular season in transition and behind the arc, he wasn’t nearly as impactful in the postseason.

That was the case again in Game 1, but in Game 2, Russell’s hot streak to begin the game allowed the Lakers to get out to a strong start and build a lead. Russell called his own shot after the first contest, stating his “excitement” to hit the floor and prove himself, and that he did. He finished Game 2 with 23 points on 7-11 shooting, and if Los Angeles wants to compete and get a win on its home floor, he’ll need to perform similarly.

Magic Johnson’s heartbroken reaction to Lakers’ Game 2 collapse vs. Nuggets

The Lakers are allergic to beating the Nuggets.

Lakers, LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Nuggets, Magic Johnson

On Monday evening, LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers suffered their tenth (!) straight loss to the Denver Nuggets and went down 0-2 in their current first round playoff series vs the reigning NBA champions by blowing a 20-point second half lead and ultimately falling victim to a fallaway jump shot from Jamal Murray at the buzzer.

The Lakers played about as well as they could have for the first two and a half quarters of this game, as the team got a vintage performance from Anthony Davis and also saw James turn back the clock for parts of the first and fourth quarters en route to what looked like a tied series heading back to Los Angeles.

Instead, James missed a wide open three with under twenty seconds remaining that would have put the Lakers ahead, and Murray cruised down to the other end of the court and hit an insanely difficult jumper in front of his bench, which Davis then promptly crashed into.

One person who was so devastated by the loss that it took him a full 12 hours to articulate his emotions was none other than franchise legend Magic Johnson, who took to X, the social media platform formerly referred to as Twitter, to express his thoughts on Tuesday afternoon.

“Last night I was so devastated I couldn’t even tweet… An unbelievable shot by Jamal Murray, and an outstanding comeback by the Nuggets,” wrote Johnson.

Magic then wrote another tweet breaking down what he thought went wrong from the Lakers’ perspective.

“The Lakers have nobody to blame but themselves. They did everything they were supposed to do but win the game! AD and LeBron both did their part, they got scoring help from Russell, and they still lost,” wrote the Hall of Famer.

An inevitable collapse
Although they went up by 20, there was never a point during the Lakers vs Nuggets game on Monday where the LA lead felt completely safe. Watching the Lakers play throughout the second half was like watching a structure on the verge of collapse slowly begin to buckle, as the Denver avalanche was inevitable.

LeBron James Gets Real On His Return To Crypto.com Arena For Game 3

LeBron James opens up on returning to Crypto.com for NBA playoffs.

On the eve of a must-win game for the Lakers, 39-year-old LeBron James spoke candidly on his return to the Crypto.com arena for the first time this postseason. In a chat with the media, James admitted that he’s excited to see the home fans again for the first time in weeks.

“We already know what we’re gonna get from our home fans. I feel like it’s been forever since we’ve played here, to be honest… Hopefully, they’re excited because we’re looking forward to it.”

The Lakers were 28-14 at home this season, the fourth-best record in the West.

With a classic stadium and one of the loudest fanbases in the league, it’s not an easy feat to beat the Lakers on their home court. As a franchise rich with history and lore, the Lakers have enjoyed plenty of historically great moments on their court and they are hoping to pull off a miracle tomorrow against the defending champions.

In Los Angeles, the Lakers just seem to play with more energy and life, and they’ll need a lot more of both to have any shot of beating the Nuggets in Game 3. While LeBron James and Anthony Davis have both been holding their own, the rest of the supporting cast has not stepped up at all outside of D’Angelo Russell. So far, veteran guard Taurean Prince is the only bench player to score any points in the series and he scored just 6 in the loss on Monday.

In short, the Lakers must be better if they want to steal Game 3 and avoid a clean sweep in the first round. Being back in the Crypto.com arena should help them finally get a win, but it won’t be easy to pull one out against this team and the 2x MVP.

The Last Dance For LeBron James?
With the King at 39 years old now, it’s a very real possibility that these next two games are the last of his career. As an NBA free agent this summer, LeBron’s future is entirely unknown right now and only he has all the power to choose his next path.

With averages of 25.7 points, 8.3 assists, and 7.3 rebounds per game this season, LeBron is clearly still one of the best players in the game, and the Lakers are more reliant on him than ever to keep their offense running smoothly and efficiently.

Unfortunately, with limited options on the perimeter, the Lakers can only get so far and LeBron may be trying in vain to force another lengthy playoff run. If they lose in the first round or get swept, it could lead to drastic changes across the roster and even LeBron may re-think his NBA loyalties.

With so much at stake this summer, the Lakers need to do everything they can to win Game 3 and LeBron expects the fans to show up in droves to support their team. If they can win at least one or two games against the Nuggets, it will show progress toward making up ground in the West. If not, then this final stand at Crypto.com arena could be one of the last for LeBron James and it’s far from the ending he deserves.

Dennis Rodman: From the Court to the Spotlight

In the world of basketball, few names carry as much weight as Dennis Rodman. Rising to fame alongside the legendary Michael Jordan on the Chicago Bulls, Rodman carved out a unique legacy both on and off the court. From his colorful personality to his unmatched rebounding prowess, Rodman left an indelible mark on the NBA landscape.

Rodman’s journey to basketball stardom was anything but conventional. Growing up in the tough streets of Dallas, Texas, he faced numerous challenges before finding solace on the basketball court. His tenacity and relentless work ethic caught the attention of NBA scouts, leading to his selection by the Detroit Pistons in the 1986 NBA Draft.

However, it was during his time with the Chicago Bulls that Rodman truly captured the world’s attention. Joining forces with Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, Rodman formed one of the most formidable trios in NBA history. Together, they led the Bulls to three consecutive NBA championships from 1996 to 1998, solidifying their status as basketball icons.

 

But Rodman’s impact extended beyond the basketball court. His flamboyant style and eccentric behavior made him a media sensation, garnering attention both on and off the hardwood. Whether it was his ever-changing hair colors or his headline-grabbing antics, Rodman was always at the center of attention.

Despite his off-court distractions, Rodman’s dedication to his craft never wavered. His relentless pursuit of excellence on the boards earned him seven NBA rebounding titles, cementing his reputation as one of the greatest rebounders of all time. His defensive prowess and unmatched intensity made him a key cog in the Bulls’ championship machine.

Off the court, Rodman’s journey has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows. From his tumultuous personal life to his unexpected forays into diplomacy, Rodman’s post-basketball career has been nothing short of intriguing. Despite the challenges he’s faced, Rodman remains a beloved figure in the basketball world, revered for his contributions to the game and his larger-than-life persona.

 

In the annals of NBA history, Dennis Rodman’s legacy will endure for generations to come. From his humble beginnings to his days atop the basketball world, Rodman’s story serves as a testament to the power of perseverance and passion. As fans reminisce about the glory days of the Chicago Bulls, one name will always stand out: Dennis Rodman.

Let’s Review The Last Shot Of A Legend: Michael Jordan’s Incredible Journey Ended Witһ The 1998 Crown

Michael Jordan’s illustrious career reached its pinnacle with a defining moment in 1998, as he led the Chicago Bulls to their sixth NBA championship, cementing his legacy as one of the greatest basketball players of all time.

The 1997-1998 NBA season was marked by uncertainty and speculation surrounding Jordan’s future. Despite facing challenges on and off the court, Jordan remained focused on one goal: securing another championship ring.

As the playoffs unfolded, Jordan showcased his trademark clutch performances, leading the Bulls through a grueling series of matchups en route to the NBA Finals. Facing off against the Utah Jazz, Jordan rose to the occasion once again, delivering a series of unforgettable moments that would define his legacy.

But it was the final seconds of Game 6 that would etch themselves into the annals of basketball history. With the score tied and mere seconds remaining on the clock, Jordan seized control of the moment, sinking a game-winning jump shot over Jazz defender Bryon Russell. As the buzzer sounded, the Bulls emerged victorious, clinching their sixth NBA championship in eight years.

For Jordan, the shot represented more than just another championship. It was the culmination of a lifetime of dedication, sacrifice, and unparalleled skill. It was a testament to his unwavering determination and relentless pursuit of greatness.

In the years since that iconic moment, Jordan’s legacy has only grown stronger. His impact on the game of basketball transcends statistics and accolades, serving as a source of inspiration for generations of players and fans alike.

As we reflect on the last shot of a legend, we are reminded not only of Jordan’s extraordinary talent but also of the indelible mark he has left on the sport and the world. His journey may have ended with the 1998 crown, but his legacy will endure for generations to come.
