Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills took care of business in a big way against the Houston Texans. The lopsided victory had the Bills QB beaming with joy towards the end.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is vaccinated, but he refused to publicly support COVID-19 vaccination as he emphasized his stance on athletes having their own choice. Of course, this didn’t sit well for vaccine advocates like Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter. ~Ridiculous~@PamelaBrownCNN @CNN pic.twitter.com/9QniT4uj0i — Enes FREEDOM (@EnesFreedom) October 3, 2021 In a recent […]

Many believe the Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets are headed for a collision course in the NBA Finals. While it’s way too early to bank on such, it’s hard to blame overly excited pundits for placing their money on the possibility. LeBron James and Anthony Davis now have Russell Westbrook on their side, matching […]

Dwight Howard just exposed LeBron James as the true shot-caller on the Los Angeles Lakers. Well.. sort of. The big man took to Instagram live, as he is wont to do, and revealed a deal he made with King James. Apparently, if he swats two shots for the Lakers, he has the green light to […]

A lot will be riding on the shoulders of Anthony Davis for the upcoming season. The Los Angeles Lakers are going to rely heavily on AD throughout the season, and at this point, it looks like the Lakers are his team. There’s also a matter, however, of one LeBron James, who is still widely considered […]

Because the Los Angeles Lakers just overhauled their roster, they entered 2021-22 training camp with as little trade buzz as any team in the NBA from an importing and exporting standpoint. The Lakers orchestrated the largest blockbuster swap of the summer — a five-teamer that netted them Russell Westbrook — and then surrounded Westbrook, LeBron […]

The NBA reached a 95 percent vaccination rate for COVID-19 on Thursday, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, a notable uptick since training camps tipped off league-wide earlier this week.

Abdul-Jabbar has unabashedly called out the few NBA stars who refuse to get the shot as headlines continue to circulate on the vaccine’s potential implications on the coming […]

To say that the Los Angeles Lakers fell short of expectations last season would be a massive understatement. But if LeBron James’ words on the first few days of training camp are any indication, this season is already shaping up to be vastly different, and this goes beyond Russell Westbrook. Asked about the apparent exhaustion […]

Alex Caruso is ready to spread his wings. The former Los Angeles Lakers guard has made his way to the Windy City. The move to the Chicago Bulls also likely comes with an even bigger role for the five-year veteran. Caruso may very well be asked to create more scoring opportunities and play on-ball more […]

LeBron James is without a doubt one of, if not the most popular superstar in the NBA right now. The Los Angeles Lakers icon has built up quite a following through the years, which apparently, also includes adorable little girls. Former Cleveland Indians pitcher Perci Garnier recently posted a video of his daughter, Peyton, impersonating […]

LeBron James will be the first to tell you that the Los Angeles Lakers had a truly disappointing campaign last season. There’s just no denying that L.A.’s title defense came up significantly short.

LeBron James is fully aware that Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving has found himself in the headlines these days because of his adamant rejection of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Kyle Kuzma got up close and personal with LeBron James in their three seasons together on the Los Angeles Lakers. The man knows what greatness is supposed to look like.

Breaking news: Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook is pretty, pretty, good at basketball.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James recently revealed that he’s already received the COVID-19 vaccine.

It’s been almost a decade since Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James last won the NBA’s Most Valuable Player award, but even though he’s turning 37 this coming December, it’s still not easy to count out his chances of winning his fifth Maurice Podoloff Trophy.

Magic Johnson was a 5x NBA Champion, 3x MVP, and arguably the best point guard in NBA history. He was just built different in all sorts of ways. Whether it was his billion-dollar smile, his magnetic charisma, or his out-of-this-world vision and passing, it all made him a generational talent. However, what truly sets Magic […]

One of the biggest storylines after the Los Angeles Lakers conducted their annual media day this year was Anthony Davis finally confirming that he is, indeed, going to play the five more this season.

Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis doesn’t want anyone’s encouragement. Yes, even those coming from LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, and his other Lakers teammates.

The Los Angeles Lakers’ Big Three of LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook have themselves a new nickname, and it looks like it’s going to catch on pretty quickly as well.

It’s no secret that Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is a phenomenal athlete who could probably succeed in other sports. In fact, he was an absolute beast in high school when it came to football.

The biggest news surrounding the NBA season as opening night approaches has nothing to do with basketball.

Russell Westbrook is arguably the worst high-volume three-point shooter in NBA history, and hasn’t exactly made sustained efforts in the past to diversify his offensive game when sharing the floor with another high-usage superstar. LeBron James, obviously, is aware of those concerns and others about Westbrook’s fit with the Los Angeles Lakers. He’s just not […]
