The Boston Celtics picked up a dramatic win over the Los Angeles Lakers in overtime on Saturday, but it took a blatant no-call at the end of regulation to get there. Let’s just say LeBron James and the Lakers weren’t pleased. In the final seconds of regulation with the score tied 105-105, the Lakers had the ball and a chance to end the game. Predictably, the ball ended up in the hands of James, who drove into the paint and missed a would-be game-winning lay-up. Replay soon showed that James was… Source link

LeBron James is only a few games from NBA history. (Paul Rutherford-USA TODAY Sports) LeBron James keeps moving forward, even on nights where he ends regulation in open disgust with the officials. James entered Saturday night’s game against the Boston Celtics needing just 158 points to pass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA’s all-time scoring leader. He finished the night with 41 points on 15-of-30 shooting (6-of-12 from deep) with nine rebounds and eight assists. James is now only 117 points… Source link

Bronny James isn’t ready to make his college decision, even though it feels like everyone else is clamoring for it. After rumors swirled about LeBron James’ oldest son on social media on Tuesday, the Los Angeles Lakers star quickly shut them down. Bronny, he said, hasn’t even been on an official visit anywhere yet — meaning Oregon can’t be the “frontrunner,” as one report claimed. “He hasn’t taken one visit yet and has only had a few calls with coaches and universities,”… Source link

The Los Angeles Lakers’ Big 3 of LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook huddled up on a phone conversation the first weekend of NBA Summer League in Las Vegas with each expressing their commitment to one another and vowing to make it work, league sources told Yahoo Sports. While the uncertainty of Westbrook’s future with the Lakers remains, the conversation was organized to make sure all three were on the same page as long as they’re joined together in their pursuit of a… Source link

LeBron James is still LeBron James, even in the offseason. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar made a much-anticipated appearance at the Drew League in Los Angeles on Saturday, his first in 11 years, and was exactly as advertised, dropping 42 points, 16 rebounds and four steals in a 104-102 win. James’ team, the Cheaters (yes, really), led for most of the first half before finding themselves in a hole in the third quarter. James helped lead a comeback, while delivering highlight after… Source link

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is often imitated, rarely duplicated and never surpassed … until now. Curry showed some love to a young basketball player who took Curry’s “night night” celebration to the next level during a game. After hitting a jump shot, the kid actually drops to the floor and mimics sleeping in his bed. It was an elevated form of Curry pretending to sleep after sinking a big shot against the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals. Curry liked what he saw from the… Source link

In one year, LeBron James is scheduled to hit NBA free agency. There will be many teams interested in the talents of the Los Angeles Lakers star, but we can probably cross the Boston Celtics off the list. James did not have very nice things to say about the Celtics, particularly their fanbase, during an episode of his talk show “The Shop” released Friday. Specifically, he identified TD Garden has his least favorite place to play after soccer player Marcus Rashford discussed Premier League… Source link
