Welcome to part of my take presented by New Amsterdam Vodka. Today is Friday, June 4th. Can you hear? Can you hear my smile? Is LeBron James done or is he finished? Let me just read a quote for you, PFT. It starts with my accountability and trickles down to everybody else. These shoulders were built for a reason, and if it takes for me to put more on top of it, then so be it. That was LeBron James before game 5, the game that he left with five minutes and 45 seconds left and then game six. When the Phoenix Suns have eliminated the Lakers and LeBron James, I, is that it? So I think all this talk about retiring this week. All the discussion that's been going on, retiring is kind of hot in the streets right now. My prediction for this off season is that LeBron James, he's gonna pull like an Aaron Rogers. He's going to publicly flirt with retiring, but privately he's gonna be like, I'm gonna come back. But he wants people to talk about whether or not this is the end of the road for him. And then it'll come back and the Lakers will be dominant because Anthony Davis is going

to be healthy.

And by the way, Charles Barkley with the Anthony Street Close Davis. Yeah. Yeah. First of all, what are street clothes? Street clothes are clothes you were on the street on the street. Yeah. Because whenever I see somebody wearing street clothes, it's always stuffed. It's way nicer than anything. oh yeah i would wear on screen on any any public road

but um...

then he came out gave it a go and then Charles Barkley made fun of the lake stuff that's way nicer than anything. Yeah, yeah. I would wear on any public road.

But then he came out, gave it a go, and then Charles Barkley made fun of the Lakers and Anthony Davis for trying to play on a shattered groin tonight. So I don't know. I feel like the Joker right now chasing cars and once you catch up to him, you don't know what to do because I got to admit, I've been looking forward to this night for a very long time because it feels like it all abroad has never lost my first route

it happens tonight. He's old. He's 36. He's not as dominant as he used to be. He's never going to be 100% again. He said it himself. And the day was not a free agent. Not a free agent. False news, fake news media tried to get a strike it from the rock. Strike it for stricken. I am kind of sad. I don't know why it's so I'm conflicted. I'm torn because I think almost every single post season for the last five years. I've said, this is the year that LeBron James loses in the first round. Right. So I want to take a victory lap because this time I was right when I predicted it. and i like theed an Anthony Davis injury which I the sons are fun. Yeah, the sons are all sir We'll talk about them in a second, but I'm torn between wanting to take that victory lap and also being like You're also a LeBron Stan. It's fun to to make fun of LeBron James, right? All I say is this is it might be karma for giving low. LeBron a small ass Yeah, the the basketball gods caught up with them I'm torn. I do think I'll say one nice thing about the Lakers I do think that if Anthony Davis stays healthy in this series is totally different They were up to one tie ball game game for and he gets hurt So and he's their best player. I thought knock on LeBron Anthony Davis's it kind of is no good But but it's still true. At this point in their career, LeBron James at his peak

was far, far better of a player than Anthony Davis

will ever be.

But as of right now, Anthony Davis,

like if you want either one of them,

if you either one of them is 100%,

you want it to be Anthony Davis,

I just, I feel torn.
