It's the same argument we have with Mahomes -- yes, I hold Mahomes to a higher standard than I hold anyone else. Because that's what comes with greatness. I expect Mahomes to be able to operate at his highest level even when things are less than ideal. You don't. You're always looking to blame his teammates.
It's no different with James. You'll call him great but never hold him to the standard of greatness.
I mean...credit is due for consistency, I guess.

Luka is the "Mahomes" on this team now, is he not? Is he not the Lakers' best player? If we're looking for people to blame for a shit loss, one would think it would go to their best player who shot them out of the game for its entirety and was the one who the Hornets repeatedly targeted on defense, no?
Again, blame the 40 year old who was the only one to even show up for the Lakers all you want, but it won't change what actually happened. LeBron was the least of their problems last night.
