Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James won’t be giving gifts this Christmas … at least not in the Christmas special of ClutchPoints’ animated series “The Association.” In the latest teaser for the special, LeBron was in tears as he misses his old pal Kyrie Irving.

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James remains one of the most physically dominant players in the NBA on the cusp of his 38th birthday. His secret to staving off — no, beating — Father Time?
