Absolutely magnificent performance today in over time game, massive defensively. Finished with 22-20-7.
This is not about arguing who is the best, it's appreciation of a 38 year old still playing magnificent, scoring in clutch time when required.

He didn't seem to keen to drive the ball for most of the game then scores off a drive to send it to OT then does it again to seal it in OT.
Was awesome to see.
2 great games today. Butler put on a clinic in the last quarter for the Heat.

Jimmy was amazing. Just absolutely did it all on his own. One of the all time great playoff performances. Its not like there was no D either. Giannis, Jrue, Middleton, Lopez all very good or elite at that end.
LeBron was great. He's definitely showing his age as he just doesnt have it in him to go play after play anymore, and combined with his regression in shooting, he's lost a bit offensively. What is good is seeing him able to still make an impact despite that step back he's taken, and willingly allow his team mates to do their thing. And amazing that he can still make the big plays when needed.
AD needs to be the #1 guy now but he just doesnt have it some nights and the Lakers were lucky how bad the Griz shot the ball.
Three lower seeds up 3-1 so far which is making for some great first rounds

Jimmy Butler unreal. Given what he's done in Miami, imagine he'd stayed with Embiid? Could've won a title or two by now.
Lebron's evolved, he's not only average athletically for an NBA player, but uses smarts, passing, and uses his body and remains elite.
After the emergence of Jokic, Embiid and Giannis in recent years, it's easy to forget AD was a 4 time all NBA 1st teamer. When they're both healthy, him and Lebron are still as impactful a duo as any other in the NBA.
Really hoping GSW beats the Kings, would love to see Curry facing off against Lebron
