After winning the 2023 NBA championship, Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone took some very subtle shots against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers. James wasn’t born yesterday; he knew that they were the objects of the Nuggets’ banter even if their names weren’t explicitly said, and as such, The King is coming into […]

It was on March 20, 2013 when LeBron James, then with the Miami Heat, debuted arguably his most iconic celebration of all time, dubbed “The Silencer”. And it could not have come at a better time; with a 23-game winning streak on the line, the Heat found themselves down by as many as 27 points […]

Last week, Los Angeles Lakers vice president of basketball operations and general manager Rob Pelinka said LeBron James was preparing for his 21st NBA season like a “rookie.” Apparently, it only took two days of training camp for LeBron to resemble his early prime. “Without question,” Darvin Ham responded when asked if LeBron has his […]

LeBron James is entering his 21st NBA season and his sixth as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. Injuries that James has had to deal with have lessened this team’s chances of getting back to the NBA Finals after winning it all in the 2020 NBA Bubble, but even at 38 years old, James […]

It may be hard to fathom, but LeBron James is approaching his 21st season in the NBA.

The Michigan football team is on cloud nine after a week of celebration. The Wolverines dominated the Nebraska Cornhuskers with ease en route to 45-7 road win in Lincoln.

The Los Angeles Lakers returned for media day Monday, before training camp and the preseason begins this week. At media day, LeBron James surprisingly called teammate Anthony Davis the “face of the franchise.” James said, “He is the face [of the franchise]… You look at all these [retired] numbers that surround this facility, all the […]

Arguably, no other team’s additions have been talked about more this off-season than that of the Los Angeles Lakers, and all of these moves are reflected in their win total projections. The Lakers have the fourth-highest projected win total in the Western Conference this year, with a line set at 47.5. Second-year head coach Darvin Ham […]

It was a refreshingly breezy 2023-24 Media Day for the Los Angeles Lakers.

The roster is fully-healthy, balanced, and cohesive […]

It’s shaping up to be a huge year for LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers. Still motivated by their Western Conference Finals defeat at the hands of the Denver Nuggets, James is still looking to win his fifth championship in his 21st season in the NBA. And beyond the usual suspects, such as Anthony […]

It looks like Anthony Davis has some extra motivation coming into the new season. Not that he needs more after the disappointing end to the Los Angeles Lakers’ 2022-23 campaign, but it surely helps to see AD with that added fire. Lakers fans will have to thank the Denver Nuggets for that, though. As every […]

Despite still performing at a high level, LeBron James is at the stage of his career where he is taking things one season at a time.

The Los Angeles Lakers’ most realistic path to winning a championship this season involves Anthony Davis supplanting LeBron James as his team’s clear-cut best player, playing well enough and staying healthy enough to make a legitimate case for MVP. Even James isn’t afraid to admit that reality; he’s been mentioning that ideal succession plan for […]

It is media day for the Los Angeles Lakers, and superstar LeBron James was asked about the possibility of retiring after the 2023-2024 season, which led to him giving a blunt response to the question. “I don’t know,” LeBron James said when asked if a part of him thinks this could be his last season. […]

Matt Leinart is USC football royalty in his own right. A two-time National Champion and a Heisman Trophy winner, he was probably the best quarterback to ever don the cardinal and gold. Until now. But Leinart had even higher praise for Caleb Williams than the greatest of Trojan quarterbacks. On the set of “Speak” live […]

Four years ago, Magic Johnson went on national TV and called Rob Pelinka a backstabber.

The Los Angeles Lakers are expecting big things from forward Rui Hachimura in his first season with the team, and General Manager Rob Pelinka knows exactly why.

Skip Bayless has criticized Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James for over a decade.

LeBron James was dominant during the 2016 NBA playoffs. After all, James won his third NBA championship with the Cleveland Cavaliers at the conclusion of the 2016 NBA Finals.

When Anthony Davis is consistently making jumpers, he — and the Los Angeles Lakers — are virtually unstoppable. Unfortunately, that hasn’t happened since the bubble, resulting (among other factors) in mid-tier halfcourt offenses over the past few seasons and up-and-down offensive box scores from AD. Austin Reaves, however, is optimistic. During a podcast appearance with […]

Colorado football has another difficult task ahead of them in Week 5 after suffering their first loss last Saturday in blowout fashion to the Oregon Ducks, 42-6.
