To say that Russell Westbrook had a rather forgettable debut for the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night would be a bit of an understatement. The former MVP has been criticized for the role he played (or the lack thereof) in LA’s opening night loss to Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors. Westbrook himself […]

Playa Vista, CA – Paul George and the Los Angeles Clippers tip off their season on Thursday by visiting the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco.

Bad news first: Russell Westbrook was not good in his debut for the Los Angeles Lakers. In 35 minutes, Westbrook finished with eight points on 4-of-13 shooting and missed all four of his three-point attempts (yes – “Westbrick” was trending on Twitter during the game). The NBA’s triple-double king grabbed a mere five rebounds and […]

Opening night wasn’t a typical game for Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry. He struggled shooting the entire game against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers.

NBA legend Dwyane Wade is a part-owner of the Utah Jazz, but he might have forgotten that when he complimented Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James on Twitter.

LeBron James and Anthony Davis have started out guns blazing against the Golden State Warriors, with 51 points combined through three quarters.

Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors have a score to settle against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers when they face off on Tuesday for NBA’s opening night.

LeBron James is already 36 years old and coming off an injury-riddled season, so it’s no surprise why some fans and experts think the Los Angeles Lakers should limit his workload and rest him from time to time to keep him healthy when the playoffs come. However, James is not a big fan of the […]

We’re nearly there. On Tuesday, the NBA’s 75th anniversary season will tip-off, and the league’s most famous franchise (the Los Angeles Lakers) led by arguably the greatest player of all time (LeBron James) and his team of future Hall of Famers begin what should be a historically fascinating campaign.

The Los Angeles Lakers might have found their Alex Caruso 2.0 in Austin Reaves, and he’s LeBron James approved.

Gabrielle Union is a pretty nice lady. As it turns out, however, the Hollywood actress can get pretty fierce when it comes to defending the honor of her husband, Dwyane Wade, and his Miami Heat superteam with fellow Big 3 members LeBron James and Chris Bosh.
