However, there’s no question that LeBron has […]

One stop could have saved the Memphis Grizzlies from falling into the 3-1 hole they now find themselves in. LeBron James made sure to kick them into it like Leonidas in 300. The Los Angeles Lakers frontman put the team on his back and powered through the paint with a high-arching layup off the glass […]

LeBron James gets a lot of criticism from NBA fans everywhere. When you’re one of the greatest (if not the greatest) players of all-time, that just comes with the job description. One of the biggest criticisms of the Lakers star is that he isn’t “clutch”. That is, he doesn’t “show up” when it’s time to […]

Ja Morant is known and somewhat admired for his flashy and sometimes electric play style on the court. However, the Memphis Grizzlies star might have gone a bit overboard Monday night in a Game 4 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. With the game tied at 99 late in the fourth quarter, Morant raced down […]

LeBron James has left countless NBA fans speechless following his memorable performance in Game 4 of the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Memphis Grizzlies Game 4 showdown Monday night.

The Los Angeles Lakers needed several big plays to seal the win on Monday night. LeBron James and Anthony Davis piled it on in overtime to help close out the Game 4 win. But it was Austin Reaves who buoyed the team throughout the contest with a team-high 23 points. Reaves also scored the game-tying […]

You come at the king, you better not miss. Everyone and their mothers knew that taunting LeBron James is never a good idea, but Dillon Brooks did anyway.

LeBron James was him on Monday night, scoring the first 20-20 of his 20-year career and leading his Los Angeles Lakers to a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Memphis Grizzlies — and his teammates took notice after the victory.

Dillon Brooks escaped suspension for his flagrant foul on LeBron James in Game 3, but he and the Memphis Grizzlies couldn’t avoid the wrath of the Los Angeles Lakers superstar Monday night in Game 4 of this first-round series.

Dillon Brooks literally refused to speak to the media after the Memphis Grizzlies’ devastating Game 4 loss against the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 4 of their NBA Playoffs opening-round series.

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are now up 3-1 against the Memphis Grizzlies, and that’s bad news for Ja Morant and co.

A lot has been said about LeBron James’ lack of clutch gene. But on Monday in their crucial Game 4 against the Memphis Grizzlies, the Los Angeles Lakers forward proved that it’s just a myth. With the Grizzlies fighting hard and forcing the game to extend to overtime, LeBron knew he had to step up. […]

LeBron James has made a ton of buckets in his NBA career. After all, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar is the all-time leader in points in the league.

Game 4 between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Memphis Grizzlies was one for the ages. The stakes were extremely high in this one, and for his part, LeBron James knew what he needed to do to deliver his squad to the promised land. True enough, it was LeBron who came up big in the clutch […]

He may be approaching 40, but Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James can still get up and reject layups from behind just like he’s always done.

Jimmy Butler had the basketball world buzzing after his mind-blowing performance on Monday night.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Dillon Brooks has been embroiled in media controversy amid his beef with LeBron James in the first round series against the Los Angeles Lakers. His 2023 NBA Playoffs has been defined by his antics and not his play, and Stephen A. Smith believes he has shown a level of weakness for not […]

Dillon Brooks, a career role player who has never averaged more than 18.2 points per game in any season of his career, has become the story of the NBA playoffs. The reason? Dillon Brooks is making everybody—and LeBron James, in particular—super mad. During the first three games of the Memphis Grizzlies first round series against […]

The 2023 NBA Playoffs are officially off and running. While some series are already over, others are far from being decided.

LeBron James is still the biggest name on the Los Angeles Lakers roster. But it’s becoming clearer by the day that it’s slowly becoming Anthony Davis’ team to lead.

Anthony Edwards is well on his way to becoming one of the best playoff performers in the history of the NBA.

Edwards exploded for 34 points, 6 rebounds, […]

Dillon Brooks continues to refuse to say what LeBron James told him during their chat before Saturday’s Game 3 showdown between the Memphis Grizzlies and Los Angeles Lakers.

Throughout the entire season, Dillon Brooks has been mixing it up with stars across the NBA.

The Memphis Grizzlies first-round playoff series with the Los Angeles Lakers has created a lot of headlines through three games, and it’s not particularly hard to see why. Easily the biggest headline for this series, though, revolves around Dillon Brooks and his desire to continue to trash talk LeBron James as this series goes on. […]

When LeBron James broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s NBA scoring record, he should have stopped to thank one man: Spencer Haywood. The Hall of Famer is responsible for adding 8,439 points to James’ career total. Without Haywood, the Los Angeles Lakers’ superstar would be well short of the record. Abdul-Jabbar, himself, even jokingly blamed Haywood’s groundbreaking court […]

James and the Lakers rode a sensational […]

This approach includes restraining from commenting on whether Brooks should face further discipline after being ejected for hitting LeBron in the groin early in […]

Following the Los Angeles Lakers‘ relatively easy Game 3 win over the Memphis Grizzlies, LeBron James made one thing clear: He’s done talking about Dillon Brooks. In fact, in Year 20, he’s out of the business of making “statements”, altogether. LeBron spearheaded the charge at the outset of the first full-capacity Lakers home playoff game […]

The Memphis Grizzlies were defeated by the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday despite a tremendous performance from Ja Morant. One of the primary storylines from the game was Dillon Brooks’ dirty foul on LeBron James which led to a flagrant 2 call and an ejection.
