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

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

LeBron James celebrates his game-winning shot in the 2022 NBA All-Star Game. (Jason Miller/Getty Images) LeBron James gave Cleveland one more win. Playing for the home team in his native Northeast Ohio, the former Cavaliers star drilled a fadeaway jump shot to give his squad a 163-160 victory in the 2022 NBA All-Star Game at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. “I could not have dreamed of that moment any better than the actuality that just happened,” said James. “For me to be back here, 35 minutes… Source link

Much has been made about the Los Angeles Lakers standing pat at the trade deadline despite some obvious struggles, and the discontent reportedly extends behind closed doors with the team. The biggest topic is what to do, or should have done, with point guard Russell Westbrook, who hasn’t proven to be the kind of player the Lakers need alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis. The Lakers acquired Westbrook last offseason in exchange for a bevy of players and have since watched his production… Source link

No one in the NBA has scored more points that counted than LeBron James. The Los Angeles Lakers star remains a little under 2,000 points behind Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the NBA’s all-time scoring title, but if you factor in points scored in the playoffs — which do not factor into the official list — James just passed Abdul-Jabbar’s 44,149 combined points. The 37-year-old James took control of the title with a 3-pointer in the third quarter of Saturday’s game against the Golden… Source link

It wasn’t the most explosive trade deadline, but LeBron James sitting idly as power moves were being made was an unfamiliar sight. The Los Angeles Lakers had nothing to give but needed plenty, and usually that means James’ unspoken pressure tightens the vice on even the most seasoned general managers, yielding something, anything. But it was quiet on the Lakers front, as teams turned down Russell Westbrook. Perhaps the Lakers were unaware other teams have seen the film or taken advantage… Source link
