Lakers vs Trail Blazers: 'Playoff Bron, how we missed thee,' say fans as star slams 30 points on Kobe Bryant day

LeBron James sapped the life out of the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday, August 24. He had slammed in 30 points for the Lakers on Kobe Bryant Day making it all the more special as they won 136-115. Before the start of the game, LeBron paid the ultimate tribute to the late Kobe by sporting his jersey. The team has special black jerseys in honor of the Black Mamba and was unstoppable since the start of the game and now leads the series 3-1.

LeBron proved to the world why he is regarded as the GOAT and Twitter, especially the Lakers fans had every reason to celebrate. "So glad I watched Bron instead of the RNC...I’m going to bed in a good mood lol," a fan wrote.

"Mad respect to Dame for believing he can do it but no excuses for them clowns who doubted Bron so early," a fan wrote.

"An NBA without LeBron James. I’ve never seen a pro athlete deal with more nonstop scrutiny & constant pressure like Bron. And the dude really never responds to the trolls. Doesn’t block folks on socmed or go back and forth with idiots like Pussy P. That’s some elite-level focus," another fan remarked.

And speaking of focus. "When Bron get like this, it remind me why he my favorite player," a fan tweeted.

"Playoff Bron, how we’ve missed thee," another fan commented.

The declaration is here already: "It’s over. lakers win the championship. No one is stopping playoff bron."

This one's for Kobe according to fans: "Bro I’ve been saying when mamba died in January that I would wanna be the team to go against the lakers. Bron gonna get this chip for Kobe," a fan tweeted.

Meanwhile, in related news, Anthony Davis retired from the game with a back spasm. He had 18 points on 5-for-8 shooting, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks, and a steal in the 18 minutes he played. "Playing them you just have to hope the guys around Bron and AD miss shots. They’re so long and athletic defending and rebounding, while Lebron is so good on offense it’s tough to see them getting beat 4 times. Teams just don’t have guys that can matchup with both AD and Bron," a fan wrote.
