As LeBron James enters his 19th season in the league, the debate rages on on whether or not he can actually claim the GOAT status once he finally hangs it up.

Russell Westbrook made his highly-anticipated regular-season debut for the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday in a 121-114 loss to the Golden State Warriors.

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.

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).

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 […]

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry won his second NBA scoring title last season at the age of 33.

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