The Los Angeles Lakers are surely ecstatic to welcome LeBron James and Anthony Davis back into the fold. Davis (Achilles/calf) has been out since Feb. 14, James (ankle) since March 20.

Even with the presence of LeBron James in Tinseltown, it’s safe to say that the addition of Anthony Davis to the Los Angeles Lakers cemented the team’s status as a perennial championship contender. After seven seasons with the New Orleans Pelicans, Davis requested a trade in the middle of the 2018-19 NBA season. The trade, […]

Dennis Schroder was the MVP for the Los Angeles Lakers in Saturday’s wacky 127-115 OT victory over the extremely shorthanded Utah Jazz at Staples Center (with fans in attendance, for the second time).

The Los Angeles Lakers may be missing LeBron James and Anthony Davis, but Talen Horton-Tucker is more than capable of putting on a show.

Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis has been sitting on the sidelines for quite some time. So it’s understandable if he tries all sorts of antics to combat the boredom.

Obviously, Luka’s epic game-winner on Thursday deserves […]

Even LeBron James couldn’t believe Luka Doncic’s game-winner on Thursday as the Dallas Mavericks narrowly escaped with a road win against the Memphis Grizzlies.

He said as much following Tuesday night’s win […]

The GOAT debate between Michael Jordan and LeBron James will likely never have a definitive answer because it is based on one’s opinion.
