LeBron James is officially a billionaire. The Los Angeles Lakers star is worth an estimated $1 billion, according to Forbes, which makes him the first active NBA player to join the billionaire club. The only other basketball player to be worth 10 figures is Michael Jordan, who earned that moniker 11 years after he retired when his stake in the Charlotte Hornets increased to 89.5 percent in 2014. While James has earned more than $385 million in pretax salary during his 19-year NBA career, per… Source link

LeBron James was one of plenty in the sports world who was outraged on Tuesday afternoon after a horrific mass shooting at a Texas elementary school. The Los Angeles Lakers star erupted on social media calling for change after at least 18 students and three adults were killed in Uvalde, Texas. “Like when is enough enough man!!!” he wrote, in part. “These are kids and we keep putting them in harm’s way at school. Like seriously ‘AT SCHOOL’ where it’s suppose to be the safest.

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James would rather be playing basketball right now. Instead, James is sitting at home watching other teams try and win it all. James made it clear Friday he’s not a fan of that arrangement. James, 37, vowed to never again miss the postseason, saying, “This s*** HURT.” James has appeared in an astounding 266 playoff games in his career. He’s only missed the postseason four times over his 19-year career. Two of those seasons have come since James joined the… Source link

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

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

Dirk Nowitzki’s journey from unique foreigner to ostracized loser to conquering hero reached a crescendo in the hours leading to Game 5 of the 2011 NBA Finals. Miami Heat stars Dwyane Wade and LeBron James walked through the hallways of Dallas’ American Airlines Center with mock coughs following the morning’s shootaround, making light of Nowitzki battling illness in Game 4. Nowitzki found it “disrespectful,” he said in an interview with Yahoo Sports recently, while discussing the… Source link
