James and the Lakers currently trail the Minnesota Timberwolves 3-1 with Game 5 on Wednesday night in Los Angeles.
Many fans commented on Howard’s post.
@qrypdo: “So if he doesn’t then what? Or is it one of those vintage LeBron win/win scenarios lol”
@THEEJoeMess: “They’re not coming back because they have zero depth and no bigs. Idc if LeBron and Luka have 100 combined, they still losing.”
@TheFundRaiser__: “Perspective is everything, that’s why I’m glad Jordan’s my goat. Cuz wtf u doing down 3-1 in the first place ? But yal reward it and he got arguably top 3 player in the league on his team. Yal fish for reasons to call bron the goat cuz he’s simply NOT”
@datboip_: “He’s the only one that has showed up every game. Carrying them and can’t get any help. Luka scoring 38 and giving up 29 as prime defender is nasty work. I’d trade him for Giannis and Brooke Lopez in the off season”
Despite the team struggling in the series, James is averaging 26.3 points, 9.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 2.0 steals and 2.3 blocks per contest while shooting 50.7% from the field and 39.1% from the three-point range.
