A quick reminder to LeBron James: while it’s very kind of you to transfer your powers of basketballing to Cedi Osman so he can use them while your “groin” is “injured” (code for “he jacked it too much”), you have to remember to take them back when it’s time for the All-Star game. Even if Osman looks at you with madness in his eyes and says “No, LeBron. These are my powers now”. That would be a lie on his part. Those will always be your powers.
However, the career-highs that Osman keeps notching with them will always be his career-highs even if it wasn’t truly him scoring them. Unfair, but the NBA doesn’t recognize power-transferrals except unofficially.
There is an outside chance that Osman scored all these 29 points all by himself, that LeBron had literally nothing to do with it except for a few kind words and a couple workouts during the offseason, but really, what are the odds of that? It’s easy to forget that Osman was a 5’5″ PG playing for a fourth-division team in the Faroe Islands (hard to get assists when your center is a literal shepherd with a crooked staff and everything and your point guard is a literal sheep) before LeBron found him.
