No, not confirmed. There was a just a lot of speculation that way after the last time the Cs played in Toronto.

Just some stats to throw out there: The league has been claiming a 97% vaccination rate. That would leave roughly 15 players total still unvaxxed.
No one ever really pressed the issue to find out who they were because Kyrie frontlined and absorbed all the heat. Gotta assume at least a couple of those guys are among playoff teams.

for someone with a major injury, Lebron played just fine. Lebron's been playing the injured card for years eventhough he didn't have any except for that one hamstring/groin injury where he was really struggling.

I guess it was a "minor" broken foot, but this seems kinda crazy right?

With Lonzo out for the season, Bucks probably in the best position for the 1st round

Yea not even close. This Laker team has a TON of talent. Remember LeBron’s cringey IG post about “keep that same energy”
Wizards were 19-63 in the 2001 season.
MJ after three years of sitting on a couch, drinking booze and smoking cigars, compiling atrophy and becoming ridiculously out of shape decided to come down to the floor to lace them up again.
Come back trail gets delayed in summer due to Artest breaking his ribs. Where it was reported he was playing like his old self before the set back.
38 - 39 year old Yoda Floor Jordan was the ONLY player besides prime 23 year old Kobe to average 25/5/5 with elite defense.
Old Jordan (2 years older than Bron is now) had the Wiz on pace to make the playoffs before a season and ultimately career derailment knee injury which limited his effectiveness and even then he improved the Wizards record by 18 games. Yet only played 60 games.
37-45 final record.
His talent on the roster?
Hamilton - 20/3/3 on 44% - 63 games
Whitney - 10/2/4 on 42%
Alexander - 10/3/2 on 47% - 56 games
No HOFers, no perennial all stars, no 3rd best PER player of all time, no Triple Double King, no former scoring champs, no former MVPS.
2022 Lakers
31-48
Davis - 23/10/2 on 53% - 40 games
Westbrook - 19/7/7 on 44%
Monk - 13/3/3 on 47%
Anthony - 13/4/1 on 44%
37 y/o LeBron - 30/8/6 on 52% - 56 games
39 y/o Jordan - 23/6/5 on 42% - 60 games
Now, statistically LeBron was better. To the untrained eye. Late 90s through early 2000s is the most physical, slow and difficult scoring climate basketball has seen.
23 ppg in that league could easily be 28-30 ppg in todays open, pace and space, no physicality and no rim protection league.
But the reason Mike’s team, although severely less talented by comparison did better?
Jordan played defense, LeBron doesn’t.
Bron sand bags and hides himself on defense so he can conserve energy to chase accumulation stats for his Zoomers and dumb Bronvestite Stans backing his self anointed GOAT argument.
Or in this years case a scoring average at the expense of playing winning team basketball.
LeBron’s much maligned and scapegoat third option, IE Westbrick, is LEAPS and BOUNDS better than 2002 RIP Hamilton. And Westbrick has been durable enough to be there for basically every game.
LeBron is quite the talent but he’s a competitive coward and ultimately a loser.
Jordan messed his knee up being two years older than current LeBron, 3 years of atrophy and being out of shape, and even after his injury came back to try and help the Wiz. Dropping his averages and efficiency in the process statistically.
Meanwhile LeBeta protected his averages at the expense of his team. Sat out games for a meaningful playoff push. Dropped hints at AS break about leaving another team. And just the way he quit and folded in last years first round, or as he’s always done. Turns and runs like the coward he is with his tail between his legs.
When the going gets tough, LeBron gets to quitting and leaving.
IDK how anyone with any discernible eye for character not only respects but could even like this clown?
