Last week, a clip of HBO’s “The Shop, Interrupted” was released where Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James was asked if he could play with any current player, who would it be.

The Charlotte Hornets exceeded expectations this season, reaching the play-in tournament. Unfortunately for them, it appears that’s as far as they will go this season.

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James didn’t hold back his thoughts on the one WNBA draft rule that confuses the hell out of him: eligibility.

With their season over and the head-coaching job vacant, the Los Angeles Lakers have, among their chief priorities in the offseason, to look for Frank Vogel’s replacement.

Even before the Los Angeles Lakers officially announced Frank Vogel’s firing on Monday, Juwan Howard already emerged as a potential candidate as his successor.

Austin Reaves was one of the few bright spots in what was a horrible Los Angeles Lakers 2021-22 season. While his averages might not pop out, he certainly had a solid rookie season that he can use to build on as he progresses in his career. Even though there is not much to remember about […]

Russell Westbrook is not happy with how his first season with the Los Angeles Lakers went.

The Lakers finished the season 33-49, 11th in the Western Conference. They missed the […]

Rob Pelinka is confident that LeBron James wants to remain with the Los Angeles Lakers for the long haul. Russell Westbrook’s future in Los Angeles, however, is murkier.

The Los Angeles Lakers’ disappointing season reached an air of finality with their inability to make the postseason.

Los Angeles Lakers star had the chance to win the 2021-22 scoring title after dropping over 30 points per night. But, he needed to play in 58 games at the minimum in order to be eligible. The King ultimately suited up in 58 and decided to sit out the last few for the team after […]

LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook never jelled on the court the way they envisioned when the three future Hall of Famers had repeated conversations about teaming up last summer.

The Los Angeles Lakers’ 2021-22 season is over far sooner than anyone expected, as the team was eliminated from playoff contention and failed to secure a spot in the play-in tournament.

The Los Angeles Lakers might’ve missed out on the playoffs after a very disappointing season, but LeBron James played at a ridiculous level for a 37-year-old. At first glance, it would be hard to know he was playing through various injuries, but that was certainly the case throughout the campaign. James missed the last few […]

Los Angeles Lakers head coach Frank Vogel was a dead man walking for much of the 2021-22 NBA season. Vogel was reportedly almost fired in the middle of the season, but while he wasn’t, reports continued to come out saying he would be fired at the end of the regular season. Sure enough, ESPN’s Adrian […]

It was a disastrous 2021-22 NBA season for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Los Angeles Lakers swingman Kent Bazemore went viral recently, thanks to LeBron James. For those who haven’t seen it yet, there is a video trending online showing LeBron evicting Baze from his seat during a recent LA game and then leaving him hanging as the poor guy dapped himself up instead. It was definitely a […]

Jrue Holiday had just a single item on the box score during their last game of the season. But just getting his name on it earned him a mighty fine check, much to the delight of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James. With just one game to go and 66 total played, the Milwaukee Bucks […]

It’s safe to say that the Play-In Tournament has been a complete success for the NBA.

It hasn’t been a great season for LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers. But even within the team, some players had worse years than others. One such player who was down bad was Kent Bazemore.

With just one more game remaining in the regular season, the scoring title is now Joel Embiid’s to lose.

The odds […]

Recently, LeBron James stated that he wants to play with Steph Curry before the end of their careers. While Curry laughed off the comments, it is an interesting thing to think about.

The Los Angeles Lakers are about to wrap up arguably their most disappointing season in franchise history.
