James, Lakers beat Nuggets in Game 5 to reach NBA Finals

Denver Nuggets' Jerami Grant blocks a shot by Los Angeles Lakers' LeBron James during the second half of an NBA conference final playoff basketball game Saturday, Sept. 26, 2020, in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.

James finished with 38 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists to become the fourth player to reach 10 NBA Finals. It took him two seasons to make it with the Lakers, after falling short of the playoffs in an injury-plagued first season following eight consecutive trips with Miami and Cleveland.

Nikola Jokic and Jerami Grant each scored 20 points for the Nuggets, who had fought off elimination six times before the Lakers finally put them away. Jamal Murray added 19 points and eight assists but the star guard struggled with some leg or foot pain and lacked his usual explosiveness. Nuggets: The Nuggets became the 16th team in NBA history to lose 10 games in a single postseason. The record is 11, shared by four teams, most recently the 2009 Orlando Magic. They also became the second team to play at least 19 games in a single playoff and finish with a record below .500; they were 9-10, as were the Washington Bullets in the 1979 postseason.

Sorry, too busy being white supremacy adjacent to watch nba

Not sure why people hate on Lebron as a basketball player. Then again, greatness is not common and people get jealous when they see someone doing something great.

Don’t care

What's a Los Angeles Laker? What's an NBA?

Wow. What a shocker.

Hope to see you there LBJ

Looks like SnoopDogg was right.

Column: Lakers' NBA title hopes all about Anthony Davis, not an aging LeBronThe one Laker who must prove he can play at a consistently high level for them to win a championship? It's not LeBron James. It's Anthony Davis. Guessing you missed the last 6 minutes ofthe game when James played defense on Murray-that was the difference in the game. Older James is still a great player. No Bill, they're about both and when Bron can't hit the ocean you almost get beat. They're also about Vogel's molasses adjustments to what takes place on the floor.

The days of Shaq and Kobe: A riveting history of the legendary Lakers dynastyJeff Pearlman talks about 'Three-Ring Circus: Kobe, Shaq, Phil, and the Crazy Years of the Lakers Dynasty,' which he started writing before Bryant's death. Quite the image of Shaq's manhood. The last era of real NBA basketball. Today the game is pitiful, as are the refs, & the pundits. So ashamed of paulpierce34 & ScottiePippen who out on an act as they talk about the “greatness” of this era. Shameful. Was this photo pre-rape?
