ALL of this!

Plus, I'll never forgive the way he shanghaied DAJ to prevent Cuban signing him away.

Unfortunately, he'll probably be in the HOF at some point.

So you think he doesn't deserve it? He's a 1st ballot HOFAMER despite his snarkiness and entitled attitude. He would probably be looked at in a different light if he was able to win a title.

Noa Essengue to undergo season-ending shoulder surgery.

Luka becoming father for the second time, is my guess. His fiance posted a photo of her hospital bag a couple of weeks ago (not sure what is it called in English - a bag pregnant ladies prepare in advance to go to hospital when time comes)

Lebron's streak of scoring in double digits ends at 1,297 last night.  I guess they don't count playoffs/finals though

He did assist on the game winning shot though.

I disagree. He and Steven Adams are the best offensive rebounding 5's in the league.  You just have to live with his poor FT%

I have not seen him much lately, but I tend to agree.   It may be an issue at the end of games.  At his best, you definitely feel him on the boards and protecting the rim.  Although, I don't have much of an insight of the new coached Knicks and how he is fitting it or how he looks this year either.

LeBron has been a shadow of himself physically this season. Either it is his age or he is still recovering from injury and is not adequately prepared (or combination of everything). He is unable to beat anyone off the dribble (was already evident to an extent last season). With Luka and Reaves that is not a problem, really, as they can generate him that half of step advantage towards his defender he needs and where he is still effective. Problem is on defense. He has been really bad last two games. Extremely slow to get back, for example. When he does get back, he can hold his own, but is not a defensive disruptor a team build around Luka and Reaves would need. 

He can pass (move the ball) though. This part of his game is very good. His decision to pass to Rui for that final shot was absolutely correct, as Rui is one of the most reliable catch and shoot players in the league.
