lebron’s is an offensive foul
So many people calling LeBron 39 since the season started that it had me second guessing myself myself thinking he was turning 40 later this month. Minor pet peeve, alongside people making up heights and weights of players
Lebron is obviously the gold standard of longevity but vince was great for how long he lasted considering he was so athleticism heavy
did LeBron flop a little there?
edit: downvoted for legit asking a question, lol
Please note that VanVleet was in the defensive team in both plays.
Does Fred now have a “history” of 39 year olds doing this to his teams?
VC had a lot of these 360 layups back in the day

Edit: sorry, apparently the original video belongs to @AutomaticNBAOne was hooking… the other was VC
VC’s was insanely clean with the perfect landing, but Lebron’s was against 2 defenders. I’ll give it to VC over Lebron. Both are still very impressive at 38/39.
Gravity brought them 39 year old drawls down
This is actually more insane for Vince because he was a day away from 40 in this clip.
Life is a simulation confirmed
Typical LeBron. Always stealing other players moves.
Who did it better? Vince. Easily. So smooooooth.
