Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks made a serious mistake calling out Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James after Game 2 on Wednesday, according to NBA analyst Kendrick Perkins.

The Los Angeles Lakers are now tied 1-1 with the Memphis Grizzlies after falling 93-103 to Memphis in Game 2 of their First Round series. With the Memphis Grizzlies entering the 2023 NBA Playoffs as the second seed, ordinarily their victories wouldn’t be seen as upsets. However, with Grizzlies star guard Ja Morant dealing with […]

For years, NBA’s biggest heels have gravitated towards LeBron James like moths to a flame and, this year, the Memphis Grizzlies are no different.

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers lost Game 2 of their playoff series against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday, and it’s easy to know why.

It seems like Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has had multiple peaks in his decorated NBA career. While his most notable stints were arguably his rise with and return to the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron’s days with the Miami Heat are the stuff of legend. Perhaps nobody knows that like Paul George. Currently starring alongside […]

The Miami Heat were the biggest of underdogs on Sunday night in Game 1 against the Milwaukee Bucks. An injury to Giannis Antetokounmpo and some gritty team play led the way toward a 130-117 win, but it was Jimmy Butler who ultimately ran the show. Butler looked to be in playoff form right off the […]

The Los Angeles Lakers superstar forward gave props to teammate Austin Reaves after their upset 128-112 win on the road over the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday to take a 1-0 lead in this first-round series in the 2023 NBA Playoffs. But James did not just give Reaves flowers, […]

Butler became the fourth player in NBA history to have 35 […]

The Lakers erased the Grizzlies’ homecourt advantage in the opener as they took down Memphis 128-112. While some would argue that the […]

LeBron James had a strong game, but he wasn’t even the main storyline in the Los Angeles Lakers’ Game 1 win against the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday. It’s both a testament to his greatness and that he doesn’t have to do as much with a strong supporting cast. He finished with a stat line of […]

LeBron James didn’t hold back in his praise of Austin Reaves following the Los Angeles Lakers’ Game 1 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday.

Once upon a time in Hollywood, the Los Angeles Lakers needed elite showings from Anthony Davis and LeBron James to beat quality ballclubs.

He overcame […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have won 24 consecutive best-of-seven playoff series after winning Game 1, a stat that doesn’t bode particularly well for the Memphis Grizzlies after their Austin Reaves-inflicted Sunday defeat.

LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers participated in his 266th career playoff game against the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 1 of the 2023 NBA Playoffs, which is the most in NBA History.

At 38 years old, LeBron James is still a force of nature.

The Miami Heat got the dubious recognition on Friday of being only the third team in league history to have earned the eighth seed in the playoffs only one season after being the No. 1 seed. They live to fight another day though after their play-in win against the Chicago Bulls. Heat star Jimmy Butler […]

Here’s a hot take: LeBron James and Anthony Davis will be the two most important players for the Los Angeles Lakers in their first-round clash with the Memphis Grizzlies.
