Suffice it to say, Charles Barkley isn’t a big fan of the Brooklyn Nets these days. Not only did he lay into Kyrie Irving on ESPN Radio Thursday for his recent treatment of the media, but Barkley also decided he wants to see James Harden join Brooklyn’s point guard and Kevin Durant — for essentially the opposite reason any Nets fan would. “I want to see James, KD and Kyrie together with that New York media. That’s just my dream scenario… I want that more than anything in the… Source link

This Westbrook training camp video caught LeBron‘s attention originally appeared on NBC Sports Washington All eyes have been on the Washington Wizards this offseason after a shocking trade sent John Wall to the Houston Rockets in exchange for Russell Westbrook. Saturday, Los Angeles Lakers forward, LeBron James revealed he’s watched the Wizards as well and Westbrook caught his attention. “Love this dude!!!” James said on Twitter.

It’s not every day you’re driving the highways in Los Angeles and come across LeBron James. Combine that with a black mask and it’s all very 2020. A self-described car enthusiast named Alex caught James, named a Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year for a record third time, driving down the 405 in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar pulls up and then speeds by. Interestingly, no one in Alex’s vehicle says anything at all. No yelling out the window, no speaking on the… Source link

The Guardian Steve Dalkowski: the life and mystery of baseball’s flame-throwing what-if Many believe the lefthander was the fastest pitcher to ever take the mound. But his career – and life – went off the rails before he could make an impactSteve Dalkowski, a career minor-leaguer who very well could have been the fastest (and wildest) pitcher in baseball history, died in April at the age of 80 from complications from Covid-19. And yet, partly because of one missing detail, his legend lives… Source link

James Harden has made his NFL debut. Kind of. The Houston Rockets star’s name made an appearance in the form of an audible during Sunday night’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders. With the game tied at 14-14 in the second quarter, Raiders quarterback Derek Carr audibled out of a first-down play near midfield, clearly calling the name of the 2018 NBA MVP for NBC cameras and microphones to document. He then handed the ball off to running back Devontae Booker, who ran… Source link

LeBron James has caught no shortage of flak for how he announced he was joining the Miami Heat back in 2010, but there was apparently at least one person who had a problem with how he left the team. That person would be Chris Bosh, who discussed the circumstances of his former teammate’s departure for the Cleveland Cavaliers in free agency during an appearance on Thursday’s episode of the “All the Smoke” podcast. When asked by host Matt Barnes how James told him of the decision, Bosh… Source link

The dynasty had crumbled, seemingly all at once. Kevin Durant blew an Achilles in Game 5 of the 2019 NBA Finals. Klay Thompson tore an ACL three nights later in Game 6. By the time Kawhi Leonard and the Toronto Raptors celebrated an NBA championship in the last game ever played at Oracle Arena, it felt more like the end (or at least a pause) of an epic era. Everyone suspected KD would soon leave via free agency. They knew Klay was headed to a year of rehab. When the 2019-20 season finally… Source link

The rumors that James Harden and Russell Westbrook want the Houston Rockets to trade them appear to be over their desire to win now. With a new GM and head coach, it could feel like they’re starting all over again, and that’s not what they signed up for. That narrative makes sense, but it may not be the real reason. According to a new report, Harden, Westbrook and others are revolting against Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta’s political leanings. Players upset over owner’s Trump support On… Source link

James Harden has apparently made his intentions known to the Houston Rockets, turning down an unprecedented contract, requesting a trade and becoming the latest superstar to publicly leverage unhappiness with his franchise. It doesn’t mean, though, the Rockets have to cave into Harden’s demands after saying “No thanks” to $50 million a year and ship him to Brooklyn to play with Kevin Durant. Harden communicated this to Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta, sources tell Yahoo Sports, but… Source link
