Some people enjoy hate-watching sports more than they like watching their favorite team. When your team isn’t a contender, and there isn’t anything to cheer for, the next logical step is to root against a rival team. If the rival team isn’t doing it for you, you can pick a player and root against him. […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have been very inconsistent to begin the 2023-24 season, as they find themselves with a 5-5 record. Thought to have a lot of depth around LeBron James and Anthony Davis, Los Angeles’ offense has been underwhelming. This has led to questions about if the Lakers will be able to replicate the […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have had a decent start to the 2023-24 NBA season, with a 5-5 record. However, the team still has an uphill battle to win the NBA Championship and may need to make more roster improvements throughout the year to slay the likes of the Denver Nuggets or Phoenix Suns. In this […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have played 10 games. They’ve won five, each by six points or fewer. They’ve lost five, by an average margin of 10.2 points per game. They’ve already dealt with a rash of injuries and a tough schedule, so they can easily accentuate the positive (hey, it’s better than 2-10). Of course, […]

When people think of iconic teammates and friends in the NBA, one of the first duos mentioned should be the relationship between Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James and former player Dwyane Wade.

Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers (5-5) overcame the absence of LeBron James and held off the Portland Trail Blazers (3-5) on Sunday night at Crypto.com Arena.

LeBron James still has a lot of love for Ohio despite moving to the Los Angeles Lakers a few years back. Keeping up with the local squads has been his go-to pastime activity. This is why it comes as a surprise to no one that he got wind of the insane win the Cleveland Browns […]

LeBron James (left calf contusion) has been ruled out of the Los Angeles Lakers’ matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday night at Crypto.com Arena.

One of the most common ways NBA players describe the league is that it’s a “brotherhood”. On the court, the players are hell-bent on destroying each other and being the champion. Off the court, though, these players are close to each other. Many of them consider each other friends, and have a ton of respect […]

In the midst of the Ohio State football team’s blowout victory over Michigan State, Heisman hopeful wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. was simultaneously torching Spartan defenders and making some Buckeye history: with his 149 yards receiving, Harrison Jr. topped the 1,000 yard mark for the second consecutive season, making him the first Ohio State player […]

The old guard of the NBA is slowly fading away. The last bastions of the NBA during the 2010s are starting to age.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Cam Reddish knows he has to stay ready whenever he’s on the court with LeBron James, and that’s exactly what he did on Friday as he helped the Purple and Gold stage a comeback win against the Phoenix Suns in their NBA In-Season Tournament showdown. The Lakers trailed by as much […]

Remember when LeBron James had the opportunity to try an awkwardly angled, wildly difficult driving layup over the outstretched arms of both Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo, but instead made a pinpoint, cross-court pass to Cam Reddish for a wide-open, would-be game-winning jumper? That was just a few days ago, but the NBA moves fast. […]
