Things didn’t go as planned in Los Angeles this season. A day after their season mercifully came to an end with an 11th-place finish in the West, the Lakers fired head coach Frank Vogel. Now what? LeBron James spoke with reporters on Monday about what may come during the offseason — specifically regarding Russell Westbrook. He praised his teammate while vowing to leave personnel decisions to the Lakers front office. “One thing about Russ that I love and will always love is just his… Source link

Each week during the 2021-22 NBA season, we will take a deeper dive into some of the league’s biggest storylines in an attempt to determine whether the trends are based more in fact or fiction moving forward. [ Last time on Fact or Fiction: The Phoenix Suns are championship favorites ] We are approaching the two-month mark since the Philadelphia 76ers traded Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond and two first-round picks to the Brooklyn Nets for James Harden. Simmons has not yet played for… Source link

Even when his Los Angeles Lakers are out of the playoffs, LeBron James is still going to find ways to draw attention. This time, in a clip from his “The Shop” HBO show posted the same day as the Lakers’ elimination at the hands of the Phoenix Suns, James dropped one of his not so subtle hints about whom he would like to play with in the future. First on his list was his son Bronny (no surprise there). Next up was a player by the name of the Stephen Curry, and you can imagine what that did to a… Source link

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, once again, has apologized to LeBron James. Abdul-Jabbar apologized to James on SiriusXM NBA Radio on Monday following comments he made about the Los Angeles Lakers star over the weekend. Abdul-Jabbar — who was at Crypto.com Arena to celebrate Carmelo Anthony, who won the NBA’s inaugural Social Justice Champion Award — again hit James for some of his social stances. Though he apologized later that night, Abdul-Jabbar again addressed the issue on Monday. “I’ve been… Source link

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is not shy with his LeBron James opinions. On Sunday, he laid into the fellow Los Angeles Lakers great during an appearance to celebrate James’ teammate Carmelo Anthony. Abdul-Jabbar showed up to Crypto.com Arena ahead of Sunday’s Lakers game against the Denver Nuggets to present Anthony with the NBA’s Social Justice Champion Award. Anthony is the inaugural winner of the award that comes with a trophy named after Abdul-Jabbar. ‘Really beneath him’ He used the appearance to… Source link

The argument for Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James as the GOAT doesn’t extend to the big screen, at least according to the membership of the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation (GRAF). James “won” (but is it really winning?) two awards for “Space Jam: A New Legacy” at the 42nd Golden Raspberry awards on Saturday. The Razzies are awarded to the worst films of the year and are announced the day before the Academy Awards. LeBron’s ‘Space Jam’ remake earns Razzies LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – JULY… Source link

LeBron James can now officially set his sights on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. James surpassed Karl Malone on the NBA’s all-time scoring list on Saturday night at Capital One Arena. The Los Angeles Lakers star now sits less than 1,500 points from becoming the league’s all-time leading scorer. James entered Saturday’s 127-119 loss to the Washington Wizards just 19 points shy of matching Malone’s mark of 36,928 points. That didn’t take long for him, either. James opened the game shooting 8-of-12… Source link

At least for now, the Los Angeles Lakers have stopped the bleeding. You will not be surprised to hear it took a huge night from LeBron James. The Lakers superstar almost single-handedly ended the team’s four-game losing streak on Saturday, leading a second-half rally to take down the Golden State Warriors 124-116. James finished the game with 56 points, the most he has ever scored in a single game in a Lakers uniform, on 19-of-31 shooting (6-of-11 from deep) with 10 rebounds and three… Source link

When asked about Oklahoma City Thunder rookie guard Josh Giddey during All-Star weekend pressers, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James unpromptedly started to praise Thunder GM Sam Presti. “The MVP over there is Sam Presti. He the MVP. I mean, Josh Giddey is great, but Sam Presti — I don’t understand this guy’s eye for talent,” said James. “He drafted KD, Russ, Jeff Green, Serge Ibaka, Reggie Jackson, Josh Giddey and the list goes on and on and on. This guy’s pretty damn… Source link

Where smoke surrounds LeBron James, there is always fire, and the Los Angeles Lakers are burning. Whenever James has been dissatisfied in his career, whether he tells us directly or lets anonymous sources do the informing, whispers become louder right before a momentous change reverberates around the NBA. We have seen James spin this cycle through Cleveland, Miami, back to Cleveland and now in Los Angeles. It should come as no surprise, then, that James has made headlines during the NBA’s… Source link
