You might assume that Anthony Davis injuring his foot in the first quarter and exiting at halftime against two-time MVP Nikola Jokic and the red-hot Denver Nuggets would spell doom for the Los Angeles Lakers. Assume again. The Lakers didn’t just withstand Davis’ absence; they cruised to victory. (AD will have his right foot re-evaluated […]

Of course, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is a hoops junkie. But he also holds an appreciation for other sports, with soccer being one of them.

The Los Angeles Lakers have improved their report card for the 2022-23 season within the last few weeks.

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.

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 […]

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, at one point, had a 99.3 percent probability to take the win over the visiting Boston Celtics.

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 […]

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James is unequivocally one of the best basketball players to ever step foot on the hardwood.
