The Los Angeles Lakers’ In-Season Tournament matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers — a relatively stress-free 107-96 win — presented them with an opportune platform to rebound from a sluggish home loss to the Sacramento Kings.

LeBron James, as painful as it may be to admit, is creeping ever so closely to his retirement, making every one of his remaining game in the NBA must-see for fans who would want nothing less than to take his greatness for granted. And James continues to be a dominant presence on the hardwood; on […]

LeBron James is going to turn 39 years of age on December 30, 2023 — let that sink in for a moment. It’s hard to internalize that James is nearing the end of his illustrious career, but for some, like Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups, they know better than to take the Los […]

The Los Angeles Lakers will play the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night as the NBA In-Season Tournament continues on.

The season is once again going south for the Chicago Bulls. If the team does not right the ship anytime soon, the Bulls could be well on their way to a massive fire sale of assets later in the season. One player that a boatload of teams — which include the Heat, Bucks, Lakers, Warriors, […]

The Memphis Grizzlies were defeated by the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2022-23 NBA playoffs.

In the win, LeBron James played just 23 minutes, but was effective putting 16 points, nine rebounds and six assists. In his 21st NBA season, James continues to be one of […]

Sportsmanship is often promoted by the NBA. Because of this, it is unusual for fights to break out on the NBA hardwood. However, given that basketball is a physical and competitive sport, it isn’t a surprise to see tempers flare. In fact, throughout the history of the league, we’ve seen various physical altercations that even […]

The first 10 games of the 2023-24 season weren’t a whole lot of fun for the Los Angeles Lakers. They scuttled to a 3-5 record, beset by injuries, unfamiliarity, and porous shooting. Entering Tuesday’s In-Season Tournament matchup vs. the Memphis Grizzlies at Crypto.com Arena, the Lakers owned a bottom-seven scoring margin (-4.9). They were back […]

Darvin Ham has finally found the proper schematics such that the Los Angeles Lakers could thrive off of the perimeter. Their NBA In-Season Tournament game against the Memphis Grizzlies saw a lot of on-court issues. Anthony Davis threw Santi Aldama to the ground, and the Marcus Smart injury looked like what this match will be […]

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. The two were seen rekindling during the Lakers game against the Portland Trail Blazers and James took to social media to send […]

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.

On Sunday evening, the Los Angeles Lakers will be without superstar small forward LeBron James when they take on the Portland Trail Blazers at home.

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. Players like LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry are nearing the end of their careers. Because of that, it’s always special to see two such players go up against each other. […]

LeBron James and Anthony Davis made it safely through the Los Angeles Lakers’ 122-119 win over the Phoenix Suns, though not without momentary hiccups. Davis returned to the Lakers’ lineup for the first time since exiting their loss to the Miami Heat on Monday due to left adductor/hip spasms. Despite his optimism about playing against […]

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. […]

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has never been one to downplay his own accomplishments, of which there are many. The Lakers have stumbled out of the gates in 2023-24, losers of three in a row to drop their record to 3-5, but James has continued to play at an elite level despite this being […]

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers have stumbled out of the gates so far to begin the 2023-24 NBA season.

Famed rapper Lil Wayne has never shied away from expressing his thoughts about the Los Angeles Lakers to show his fandom.

While appearing on the Undisputed, Lil Wayne shared his […]

The Los Angeles Lakers begin In-Season Tournament play on Friday with a West Group A matchup vs. the Phoenix Suns at the Footprint Center. “Some of the courts looked a little funky,” said LeBron James, “but I think it’s great, in the sense of, for the league, to spice things up.” New In-Season Tournament, new […]

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo was ejected for taunting against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night; an ejection that many NBA fans thought was over the top.

LeBron James is and will forever go down as one of the greatest players in NBA history. His basketball journey, even before he entered the NBA in 2003, has been a sight to see. It is only fitting that “King James” gets his own kingdom for those to remember him by. On November 25, the […]

The Los Angeles Lakers, after a strong finish to last season that ended with an unlikely trip to the Western Conference Finals, have endured some growing pains to begin the 2023-24 campaign. LeBron James even compared the Lakers to the Pittsburgh Steelers, which may be a rare self-burn. And after the Lakers’ unseemly 128-94 blowout […]

Anthony Davis (adductor) was a last-minute scratch, and the Lakers’ “energy and effort” — a favorite Ham phrase — […]
