LeBron James is not a scorer. This was one of the early criticisms the naysayers had on the Los Angeles Lakers superstar way before he established himself as one of the greatest to ever pick up a basketball. While there is some truth to this notion — after all, LeBron is a pass-first type of […]

Plenty of critics rolled their eyes when the Los Angeles Lakers used their taxpayer mid-level exception on Lonnie Walker IV. Walker was not the 3 and D wing many fans wanted alongside LeBron James. He was coming off a season where he shot only 31.4 percent from deep, and he hasn’t received the best reviews […]

It’s no secret that the Los Angeles Lakers’ Achilles heel is perimeter shooting. In the three-point driven meta of today’s NBA, the Lakers are lagging behind.

The Los Angeles Lakers didn’t exactly have a night to remember on Tuesday as they lost what looked like an upset in hand against the Boston Celtics. LeBron James can at least revel in the fact that he garnered another piece of NBA history as a consolation prize. With his 33-point outing against the Celtics, […]

One could make the case that the Los Angeles Lakers’ recent overtime losses to the Philadelphia 76ers (in Philly on Friday) and the Boston Celtics (at home on Tuesday) marked moral victories for Darvin Ham’s 11-16 squad. In fact, I have made the case. LeBron James vehemently disagrees. Both games had glaring similarities. Back in […]

It looks like Charles Barkley is tired of talking about the Los Angeles Lakers, and he even had some harsh words for LeBron James and co. as he compared them to the Los Angeles Clippers.

At this point in the season, it’s hard to argue about Anthony Davis’ credentials as the league’s MVP. AD has been so good so far this season that all of a sudden, there have been questions about whether or not the Los Angeles Lakers are still LeBron James’ team or if that title has already […]
