Lately, I’ve been hearing murmurations that LeBron James, despite being super old now, is actually still playing elite defense for the Lakers. The source of these murmurations?

Tyler Herro, with his low-scoring but nonetheless stat-stuffed statline of 12/11/9, was one assist short of the fabled trippy-dubby. Think about how bad the internet would be freaking out right now if he had gotten that tenth assist. The fawning comments would be so over the top as to be embarrassing. I’ve even come up…
