It just, it, they're probably going to end up losing to OKC, but either way, it's just been like a really cool gift for basketball fans to get to see LeBron in this type of mode again in playoff mode.

He's averaging an efficient 25, 10 and nine.

He's getting 2.7 stocks per game.

His rotations on the back line and getting steals consistently in the series has been a massive factor.

We talked before the series about how he needed to find his jump shot for the Lakers to have a chance to win the series.

44% from three.

including that three that he hit.

Again, if he misses that three off the right wing, it's a 2-1 series.

KD's coming back on Sunday, and I would imagine Houston would be favored to take things back 2-2 to Los Angeles and almost certainly would be favored to win the series at that point, even at 2-1, because of KD's return and the momentum shifting back in their direction.

It just has been a really, really cool LeBron moment.

Something that I don't think any of us thought we were going to get even after the Luca and Austin news, you're just like, oh man, well, LeBron's going to try, but I don't know if this roster has the juice and the rosters had the juice.

JJ's had the juice.

Marcus smart has had the juice.

Luke can artists had the juice and LeBron James

has put together just one of those like special playoff moments in a career that's just been completely chock full of them.

Marcus Smart.

I would imagine Celtics fans feel the same way, but this dude won me over early in the season and it has been just a joy rooting for him.

He is simply one of the greatest role players in the history of the sport.

The defensive playmaking with this guy is outrageous.

And like, that's the best way I could describe it.
